Sweet Revenge
Over 100 hours spent attempting to perfect the art of mini cupcake making lead me to one big realization: It ain’t easy.
And so, I set out on a journey to find the perfect cupcake with a delicious taste, magnificent appearance and a quirky marketing concept.
And then I found Sweet Revenge. The utopian cupcake shop for adults.
Located in New York City’s West Village, Sweet Revenge (32 Carmine St.) is a bar and cupcake shop that couples wine or beer with your cupcake of your choice.
Try a Not So Dirty Cupcake (Valrhon Chocolate Cake with Milk Chocolate Ganache) with a Sweet Revenge Mojito or indulge in a Crimson & Cream (Raspberry Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting).
The space is very cozy (approx. 350 sq. ft. of seating space) and so I wouldn’t recommend checking this out with more than three people as we did.
As for the prices, you are looking at about $ 3.50/cupcake and a $7-8 drink.
This is standard for the Village but not the most frugal place to relax in.
…Perhaps it is the perfect alternative to “grabbing a cup of coffee” with your boss (who will proceed to pay for this outing).
