About Us
OUR STORY
Sweety's is the passion venture of its owner, Cheryl Lott. After spending 24 years as a stay-at-home mom raising her five children, she was ready to embark on a new chapter. In April 2022, she began her dream of creating a charming café and tea room. Cheryl chose the name to honor her Mother-in-Law, who has taught her how to love people through food for over 30 years. Many of the recipes used at Sweety’s are family favorites, passed down and enjoyed by the Lott family for more than 50 years.
Cheryl initially introduced her homemade chicken salads at the Canton Farmers Market, hoping for a brick and mortar one day. In September 2022 Cheryl met Talia at her ice cream shop. This encounter sparked a partnership, leading to the grand opening of Sweety's Café and Ice Cream Bar in February 2023. In December 2023, Cheryl expanded Sweety's to include a tea service. As word spread, it quickly evolved into an amazing array of delightful options, adding another layer of warmth and charm to the Sweety's experience.
​
​In October 2024, Cheryl and her husband Carey became the sole owners of Sweety’s, solidifying its place in Canton as a true locally owned and family-operated business.
