Crema's Take

Bittersweet is a late-night haven where exceptional cocktails meet equally impressive pastries, making it the rare spot that excels at both. The warmly casual atmosphere and genuinely friendly staff create the perfect setting for lingering over an espresso martini and a slice of pumpkin cheesecake, whether you're celebrating a birthday or stealing a quiet moment with someone special.

My first visit was a delightful experience, and I must say, the desserts were so delectable that I didn’t even need to indulge in alcohol. It’s the perfect spot for a late-night dessert date with my girlfriends. I highly recommend this place to anyone who hasn’t visited yet. You won’t be disappointed.

We stopped in here for the first time on Friday afternoon to celebrate a birthday. It's very informal-we we're greeted with menus and sat ourselves, but I had to go up to the bar to order. The cream puffs were delicious, but we were a bit disappointed that several of the dessert items shown on the Google page menu were no longer available--and those images and descriptions were what made us decide to go there. We would return the next time we're in town, however.

Absolutely beautiful place with a super friendly staff. One of the best espresso martini's I've ever had. Pumpkin cheesecake was so delicious.

Two of my favorite things in one place: drinks and dessert! I love this spot. The staff were super friendly, and I had the pecan pie — delicious. I can’t remember the name of the drink I ordered, but it tasted really fresh. I’ll definitely be coming back for dessert again!

This place was amazing and I’ll def be back again. Came on a weekday, the place was moderately packed which was nice because it didn’t make it awkward just being us two. The noise level is medium with everyone talking but nothing too crazy. The workers were super friendly and attentive, answering our questions and making sure we understood the menu. The drinks here are also very delicious and presentable. We also ordered an ice cream sundae for 2 which was very yummy; I def recommend you stop by for drinks and a good time.
