By the time your kid has begged for a second scoop and your toddler has frosted her own nose instead of the cupcake, you’ll realize: The Sweet Spot isn’t just another museum café add-on—it’s an experience all its own.
Now open inside Discovery Cube Orange County, The Sweet Spot is the newest creation from Bean Sprouts, the family-friendly café brand already known for sneaking veggies into giggle-worthy lunches. This time, they’re flipping the script on sugar. The Sweet Spot serves up swirly soft serve, dessert “pizzas,” and hands-on treat design stations—but with all-natural, clean ingredients. Translation: your kids still get their sugar high, but without the chemical cocktail that usually comes with it.
Let’s pause there. Because if you’ve ever looked at your kid’s blue raspberry slushie and thought, “This shade of turquoise doesn’t exist in nature,” you’ll appreciate what The Sweet Spot is doing. No artificial dyes. No preservatives. Just pure, whimsical, make-your-own-dessert joy—and yes, the sprinkles are naturally colored, too.
The vibe is very much “Willy Wonka meets Whole Foods,” and that’s no accident. Kamille Adamany, formerly of the American Girl Place cafés (which, if you know, you know), is behind the concept. She’s bringing that same sense of magical food theatre, only now with a nutritional conscience. “Food should be part of the adventure,” Adamany says—and here, it’s literally interactive.
Tucked right next to the existing Bean Sprouts café inside Discovery Cube, The Sweet Spot makes for an easy bribe—I mean, reward—after a morning of STEM exhibits and hands-on science. It’s dessert that fits the mission: curious, colorful, and a little bit educational if you squint hard enough.
Will your kid still be sticky by the end of it? Absolutely. But you’ll walk out grateful they just downed something without Red Dye #40.
Naturally sweet, with a side of hands-on fun. The Sweet Spot may be exactly where family dessert needs to go next. Get more info on their website.
