The Sweet Shop of long ago is but a distant memory, for those who were fortunate to have eaten there and enjoyed an aged T-bone steak, that was available in small, medium and large sizes, prepared on the grill, with French fries and tossed salad. Best steak ever prepared in Tallahassee!

Amazing breakfast served within seconds. Definitely coming back. The order process can be a bit confusing at first.

One of my favorite things about visiting our daughter in Tallahassee. We love it here! Bagel breakfast sandwiches are the best I’ve ever had!

The Sweet Shop is the sweet spot! 100 years is a long time, especially for Tallahassee, where many local gems seem to get washed away in the tide of so-called progression. This is perhaps my favorite location in the city and I hope it lasts another 100 years.
I’ve seen a lot of complaints about the offerings, the staff, and the owner. However, I’ve not had one bad experience. While I haven’t sampled every item on the menu, what I have gotten has been great. The owner is friendly and was welcoming from our first visit, even as I stumbled through his self-order kiosk. My fiancee and I love coming in for a little snack, and chatting about Michigan and the differences we’ve experienced. He’s from the same town as my dad, and close to the same as my fiancee, even if I’m from PA myself.
Some points:
1. Know what you want, and be realistic It seems a lot of people dislike this place because they expect a 5 star restaurant. I see people complain about the milkshakes and other menu items, but if you take a minute and look at the menu, you’ll know what to expect. Don’t order a milkshake that’s made differently, knowing it looks different, and then complain. If you’re realistic, and take a minute to study what’s available, you’ll likely order something you’ll like instead of a false expectation. He’s pretty up front about what’s on the menu, which I appreciate.
2. The boba is fantastic, people are insane. I’ve gone DAILY for a bubble tea because I love the jelly bubbles. I believe they’re likely konjac or something similar, but I love them. I only wish there was an option for extra to be added to my cup.
3. Their taro is smooth and good. It’s unlike others I’ve had, but very good.
4. The snow cones are good and perfect for hot days.
5. I love the bagels. They are a perfect blend of chewy and toasty.
6. While I can’t comment on some interactions that people have had with owner, none of mine have been negative. I’m sure he deals with some doozies, being on campus. We all have bad days. I only wish I’d have an opportunity to work with him. If you’re reading this, hit me up if you need any writing, marketing, or social media work.
7. The atmosphere is great. I like reading the writing on the wall. I hope that continues. AC works well, and the place is overall clean, cleaner than other places I’ve been recently.
8. The location is fantastic. Easy access. My only gripe is that I wish they were open longer. Historically, they were open pretty late. I guess they only have so many staff though, and they may have other engagements. I’d love to pop in again later in the day if they were open even until 8 or 9pm.
Overall, they are a great place to grab a treat or a snack, or something more substantial. Pricing is what you’d expect, or even cheaper for some items, and the atmosphere is either lively, or quiet and relaxed depending on when you go. I spend about $10 per visit, for 2 people to get something. They don’t force tipping either, unlike other places, even though I don’t mind tipping, it’s nice to not feel like you have to because you’re being stared at as you check out on the touch screen.
Don’t let the bad reviews scare you off. I hope that The Sweet Shop will outlive me, I’ll look for it in my next life.
Here’s to 100 more! The Sweet Shop is the sweetest remaining Tallahassee icon, by far. If only I had the funds to reopen Sherrod’s or The Phyrst nextdoor again.

I ordered the blue moon latte expecting that this would have espresso or chai. The menu said “read carefully, not all lattes have chai” but the kiosk only had pictures and no descriptions. There was nothing else to read? Why have milk and syrup listed on the menu as a latte? The server was rude about it too and didn’t make a new one even though I didn’t enjoy my drink. Long story short, unless you want milk and sugar over ice, don’t order the blue moon lol.

My go-to breakfast : everything eggs bagel with cream cheese on the side, and my americano ☕️. Love the owners, authentic good people:))

Sweet shop is, unfortunately, a campus staple. With prime location like that facing Landis Green, you know whoever takes up that lease is going to be a superstar. Sadly, the people that did don’t do anything phenomenally, per say. It’s an undoubtably historical monument in regards to the food and drink scene in Tallahassee. However, having a tenured status, doesn’t translate to delicious food. Stop by, maybe try one of their 100 menu items (excluding drinks). The character of the interior will charm you, the customer service will alarm you, and you’ll be left thinking, “If only this tasted a little better.”

Small business at its finest. I the owner kept the restaurant open for a few extra minutes while I ordered. When I added some fresh strawberries to my order he just included them and said no charge. All day breakfast sandwiches were fabulous. So convenient for the students.

Honestly never have bad things to say but I do not recommend this place… I ordered a pink chai latte at the kisok, under the description is said vanilla/strawberry so I thought that would be a fun chai flavor to try. And when I get the drink it literally tastes like watered down strawberry milk. I ask the man if I can switch it out and he said no they don’t do that so I ask if I can add more chai and he says
“there’s no chai in the drink it’s vanilla been and strawberry it says on the kiosk” in a rude tone. It also said “PINK CHAI LATTE!” Why not call it a vanilla bean strawberry milk then?? I hate to complain but when I pay $6 for a bland strawberry milk and he refuses to switch it out or make it better and is rude on top of it I’m gonna give this place a bad review. I guess there’s a first time for everything. Also the parking isn’t free.

We stopped by for breakfast. The owner was super helpful. The egg sandwich on croissant was fantastic as was the coffee. We were the only customers. The owner said it’s usually packed, but school was out. Our egg sandwiches came out even before the coffee was finished. Oh so good… Salty, warm, most, just great.
