Sweets! ... Life is Short, Eat Dessert First

Posted by – VeRonica Mitchell, Auburn Hills Planning Commissioner

As a proud resident of the community and a member of the Auburn Hills Planning Commission, I’m always elated to see activity in our beautiful Downtown.

I recognize that Downtown Auburn Hills is still in its developing stages, but I’m optimistic that BIG changes are on the horizon.  I can envision a day when the hustle and bustle of all the pedestrian traffic will make it just plain inconvenient for me to pedal my bike down the walkways.

I’m seeing signs of the coming changes already, the latest indication, a promising new shop on the corner of Auburn and Squirrel Roads called Sweets!

If you have not yet tried this place, I highly recommend it.  They have a wide menu of options ranging from specialty ice cream, to baked goods, to gourmet coffees, teas, and cocas.  I personally recommend the Chai Tea with skim milk.  They even offer a frequent visitor’s card with great deals.

But it’s not just the menu that makes Sweets! a pleasant place … it’s the atmosphere.  The colors are bright, joyful, and scream “This is a Happy Zone.”  There are hands on activities for little ones and even greeting cards to browse as you wait for your beverage to be prepared.  Their menu is also expanding.  During my most recent visit, I was offered a sample of chili or soup.

We wish Sweets! all the best and hope you will take the time to stop in and experience the offerings of one of the area’s newest trendy places right here in Downtown Auburn Hills.
