Welcome to Your Happy Place
365 Myrtle Avenue, New York, NY, 11205Brooklyn Sweet Spot was founded by baker and entrepreneur Kym Rodgers, a Brooklyn native whose love for baking began during childhood summers in South Carolina with her grandmother, Rosalie. Watching her grandmother make cakes, pies, puddings, and biscuits from scratch inspired Rodgers’ passion for rich Southern-style desserts and homemade baking traditions. Before becoming a full-time bakery owner, Rodgers worked as an elementary school teacher on Long Island. While teaching, she also catered events on the side. A client once asked her to bake a cake, leading her to revisit her grandmother’s recipes — and the response was overwhelmingly positive. Encouraged by friends and customers, she decided to open her own bakery in Fort Greene in 2010. The business originally launched as CakeJoy Bakery, focusing mainly on cupcakes, including “The Rosalie,” a vanilla bean cupcake named after her grandmother. In 2013, the bakery rebranded as Brooklyn Sweet Spot to reflect a broader menu, stronger neighborhood identity, and a bold new image while keeping the same homemade quality and Southern-inspired flavors. Over the years, Brooklyn Sweet Spot became known not only for desserts like carrot cake, banana pudding, cookies, and cupcakes, but also for its strong connection to the local community. During the pandemic, Rodgers provided free lunches and hosted virtual cooking classes for children, reinforcing the bakery’s role as a neighborhood gathering place. Rodgers has described it as “a community business” that belongs as much to Brooklyn residents as it does to her.
