Gloucester’s Main Street gem isn’t just serving sweets—it’s unleashing them. Step inside Sweet Tooth Cafe and customers come face-to-face with an epic display of pies, cakes, muffins, scones, cupcakes, and pastry perfection that rivals anything in the Commonwealth.
When owner Crystal Burton transformed her cupcakery into a full-blown café, locals said it was a genius move. In addition to her signature sweets, the menu now features sandwiches, wraps, salads, soups, quiches, sides, and more.
Artfully presented on cutting boards, sandwiches are epic. With six grilled cheese varieties and a host of “specialty sandwiches” the café has redefined “indulgent.” Meet the Mac Daddy: beef brisket slow-cooked to deliciousness, truffle mac ‘n’ cheese, crispy onion straws, and pimento cheese, all hugged by a warm pretzel bun. This is next-level lunch.
Fresh. Local. Friendly. Whether you’re vegan, gluten-free, keto, or just hungry for something extraordinary, this spot delivers without compromise—where sweet dreams and savory cravings collide in spectacular fashion.
