In the seaside town of Vineyard Haven, Sweet Bites has established itself as Martha’s Vineyard’s top destination for Brazilian-inspired baked goods and café items. This family-owned business combines traditional New England hospitality with South American flavors, creating a unique food experience that has attracted locals and visitors. Operating with a small-batch method, every pastry, cake, and confection is crafted fresh daily, ensuring exceptional quality and authentic taste that larger commercial bakeries cannot match.
The Atmosphere
The warm, inviting atmosphere of Sweet Bites makes it more than just a bakery—it’s a place where island residents and tourists meet. With free WiFi and charging stations throughout the café, Sweet Bites has become a favorite spot for remote workers, business meetings, and casual groups. The owners’ Brazilian background influences everything from their signature pastries to the café’s decor, creating a cultural experience that takes guests from coastal Massachusetts to the streets of Rio de Janeiro with each bite.
Events to Cater
Sweet Bites has become Martha’s Vineyard’s celebration specialist for life’s most special moments. Their wedding offerings have become known across the island, with couples often booking their services months in advance to secure custom dessert displays for their wedding. From elegant multi-tiered wedding cakes with hand-crafted sugar flowers to personalized dessert tables featuring miniature Brazilian brigadeiros and traditional American favorites, their team works closely with each couple to create memorable sweet experiences that reflect personal style and cultural preferences.
Gift Sets at Sweet Bites
Beyond weddings, Sweet Bites has created a niche in corporate and social gifting. Their packaged gift sets have become presents for island businesses looking to impress clients and partners with something unique to the Vineyard. “Their custom cookie boxes saved our client appreciation event,” shares local real estate agent Maria Sánchez. “The house-shaped shortbreads with our company logo were delicious and perfectly on-brand.”
The bakery’s hostess gifts, including their signature assortment of Brazilian cocada coconut treats paired with local Vineyard teas, have become a staple for summer guests wanting to thank their island hosts with something more memorable than wine.
