Is Sweet open now or when will it open? From the website it looks like they're already serving cupcakes, but Andrea says she's eagerly awaiting their opening?

Tried the lemon cupcake and the dark chocolate with chocolate frosting - smaller than expected, yet packed with flavor. Returning tomorrow to try their coffee and a cappuccino cupcake, which sold out by the time we got there. Happy to have them in the neighborhood!

Ok I love cupcakes. I once drive to NYC just for some damn cupcakes. And thanks to my new job ... I wandered over to SWEET a they are tasty ( I got 4.. what like no one has had cupcakes for dinner before) They where all very good. They where all over priced.

I Love the cuteness of Party favors cupcakes, but thier Icing sucks taste wise.

These, kinda plan to look at, I hate that the icing is not covering the whole top, but damn they are tasty.

FYI

Cupcakes in NYC go about 2.25

3.25 made me almost faint.

Martin reports he expected more given the high price and small size of the cupcakes:

... The cupcakes were good - better than those at Kickass Cupcakes in Somerville for sure - but they were not as moist and good and, ahem, sweet as those at Shaw's (yes, I really just said that). ...

Good but not exceptional

Add Richard A. to the list of people who think that at the prices Sweet charges, their cupcakes should be better:

... The cupcakes were not as moist as they could be, though the frosting helped overcome some of the dryness of the cupcake. The frostings were very tasty, nicely sweet without being cloyingly so. They do provide a generous amount of frosting. But, at this price, the cupcakes should be impressively delicious, and they just do not reach that height. ...
