In the quaint world of cupcakes, Sweet Bar is a unicorn: the rare bakery that also offers savory food (paninis, soups, salads), wifi, wine and beer. Situated in the former home of MacFarlanes Candy and Ice Cream, this retro-inspired eatery is homey and comfortable, with ample seating indoors and out. The cupcakes are moist, light and topped by tasty grainy frosting. The flavors include gluten free chocolate-dipped peanut butter, coconut creme, lemon drop and more, but the crowd favorite is the spicy-sweet pumpkin ginger cupcake, topped with salted caramel frosting and candied ginger.
