This weekend I was able to step back into time to the most amazing bakery/cafe. I’ve you’ve been reading this blog for a while you know that I’m a bit of bakery snob. I love testing out new shops and trying out an array of their goodies to see if they are any good. I have spent a many weekends on bakery crawls hitting different shops throughout the 5 boroughs.
This past weekend I ventured into Sweethaus. Sweethaus is located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and is known as a cupcake cafe, but really they are so much more.
They have the most beautiful vintage meets retro meets modern design style with Jonathan Adler sconces blending perfectly with reclaimed windows complete with chipped paint that they use on their displays. I was in heaven.
The outside is perfectly painted a beautiful mix of aqua and mint with grey and white accents and brass hardware.
Upon entering you are immediately meet with their cupcake display. So many options to pick from, but I as a coconut fan I had to try their chocolate coconut which was to die for!
It was so delicious that after my mom ate her chocolate coconut cupcake and left some frosting behind on her plate I literally picked up the plate and licked the frosting off. I got a lot of looks from my family members, but I had to do it.
Along with cupcakes they also have a cafe menu featuring a soup of the day, panini’s, and salads along with a couple of other picks.
They also have an extensive drink menu behind the counter and a refrigerator filled with vintage looking soda pop and water.
It was a chilly day so I went with some hot chocolate complete with a homemade marshmallow.
After I had my cupcake and spinach croissant and artichoke dip and hot chocolate (phew that’s a lot) I travel down the beautiful patterned tile.
Past the frosting room:
And the exposed kitchen so that you can see all of the goodies being made.
To the most amazing part of this cafe! The most stunning pick and mix candy station I have ever laid my eyes on. Hudson was in heaven and frankly everyone else was too. The candy jars just go on and on and actually turn the corner to another section of goodies.
They had a huge variety of gummy candies, chocolate covered everything and vintage candies. Everything was housed in vintage inspired glass jars that sat on reclaimed wood shelves. The little labels below each jar had to be one of my favorite details.
They also have a smaller section of packaged candies that looked amazing as well.
To say I was in heaven in an understatement. I’m already trying to figure out what sort of party I can host there since you can rent out the space for a private event after business hours or even host a kids birthday party.
I made sure to take a little bit of Sweethaus back home with me, but I will be back! Probably sooner than later.
My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
In our new home, the basement was completely unfinished. It was literally one of those dark spaces that you see in horror movies and are terrified of getting locked into. However, with the square footage in this house, I knew I needed to make the basement another workable and liveable floor of the house instead […]
What to look for when it comes to picking out kitchen appliances: Leave room in your budget for appliances. When it comes to kitchen renovations everyone knows that the cabinetry and the labor of demoing and installing cabinetry is going to eat a lot of your budget. However, the second most expensive part of a […]
I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that designing a kitchen is an overwhelming undertaking. I’m an interior designer and even I find it stressful to iron out all of those details. So, when it comes time to design a kitchen I always like to partner with a kitchen designer to make sure I’m remembering […]
Thank you so much for all the kind words! So glad you found us 🙂
