Hi, I'm Nes
From Malaybalay to Eagle Rock
The Sweet Spot is a one-baker bakery with a big Filipino heart.
I grew up in Malaybalay, in the hills of Bukidnon, where merienda wasn't a snack, it was an event. Every afternoon there was puto, kutsinta or something warm from the oven, and always someone stopping by to share it.
When I moved to Los Angeles, those were the flavors I missed most. So I started baking them for friends, then friends of friends. Then came the burnt Basque cheesecake, and then people started asking for boxes to give away.
Today I bake everything to order in small batches in a licensed shared kitchen, pack it into our checkered boxes and deliver most of it myself. If you see a trunk full of cake trays in Eagle Rock on a Friday, that's probably me.
What we care about
Baked the way lola would
Kind words
From our customers
"Picked up a box on the way to a get-together and it was gone in ten minutes. Thanks, Nes!"
"I asked if they deliver to the Valley. They don't yet, but the Basque cheesecake is worth the drive."
