The Sweet Life Café, located in Oak Bluffs, MV, offers a cozy and homey atmosphere, making it a great spot to visit any time of the year. The kitchen is known for its bold and innovative dishes, using each ingredient purposefully and creatively. Standout dishes include the grilled octopus, reminiscent of pulpo a la gallega, and the ricotta cavatelli, which has a hint of key lime pie flavor. The anchovies in the mafalde and the chocolate budino are also must-tries. The café's service is attentive and gracious, and the ambiance is perfect for a relaxing meal. Recent visitors praise the excellent food and great location, mentioning dishes like lamb with pappardelle, prepared with smoked crème fraiche, and a generously sized sirloin. The wines by the glass are excellent and pair well with meals. The restaurant is also appreciated for its charming setting, with a quaint house and a quiet street, making it a romantic spot for special occasions. The outdoor patio with string lights adds to the cozy atmosphere, and the indoor porch provides a private dining experience. The cocktail selection is plentiful, with interesting options like non-alcoholic almond lemonade. Appetizers such as house-made focaccia with stracciatella, carrots with urfa chili & goat cheese, and risotto with sweet corn and shiitakes are highly enjoyed. Main courses like the pork chop served with spaetzle and collard greens received high praise for their flavor and perfect pairing. Overall, The Sweet Life Café offers a great combination of good service, delicious food, and a charming setting, making it a favorite for both casual and special meals.
