Sweet Tease Desserts! Review Time

Today I visted  Sweet Tease Desserts in Manasquan, NJ. It's a tiny little Tea shop which I think is awesome because there are a million coffee joints out there, but how many places do you see that are dedicated to tea? They have a decent selection of home-made cupcakes and a giant variety of drinks.  As usual my partner in crime boyfriend joined me and we tried these cupcakes!!

The one on the left is a s'mores cupcake and the one on the right is lemon with raspberry filling. Here are our thoughts!

Has it got the look?- Sweet Tease had several cupcakes to choose from, some looked awesome and professional (like the s'mores cupcake) and some of them looked like they came out of anyone's kitchen, not very artistic (like the lemon raspberry). They had most of the cupcakes in regular size and then a mini size, the mini ones looked more put together than most of the regular sized ones. They get a 3 on this.
The yum factor:CAKE-The cake for both cupcakes was moist, but not as moist as I like cupcakes to be. The s'mores cake was delicious and unique, it was some kind of graham cracker flavor and I loved it! It also had a really unique texture, kind of crumbly while still being moist. I'm going with a 3.5 for cake taste.
The yum factor:ICING-The icing on the s'mores cupcake was of course, marshmallow!! It was nice and creamy, And even toasted which was a GREAT touch! The lemon icing was definitely homemade and had a real lemon taste to it, not artificial at all. The filling was raspberry jam which PIC Joe said was good, not overly sweet. 3.5 for the icing as well.
Money money money!- The cupcakes were only $2.25 each which is the cheapest price I've seen yet, and they were definitely good so they are getting a 4 for value.
Vibe- Sweet Tease is really cute inside, definitely a 'hipster' kind of place, and very laid back. The tables are decorated with cute little fake flowers the whole place is accented with things relating to Tea! The girl at the counter was very friendly and helped us pick out some cupcakes. I really love when employees suggest favorites because they are usually really good! This got them a 3.75 on vibe.
To infinity, and beyond!- Sweet Tease has over 40 varieties of tea that you can get by the cup or in larger amounts to take home! I LOVE LOVE LOVE tea as does PIC Joe, so this definitely gets them some extra credit. In addition, they offer Vegan cupcakes. So they get an extra point for these extras.

Total Points: 18.75/25

Sweet Tease is a cute little place with lots of options and events!! They have some delicious drinks (try the Nutty Irishman Chai Latte!) and TONS of tea. They have a monthly "High Tea" and also have "Tea and Sweets Tastings" which I'm definitely planning on checking out soon. Also as I said before they offer Vegan cupcakes which I think is a great option because there aren't many vegan sweets out there. I plan on going back to try some, maybe when I check out the High Tea :) This is a fun little place and I suggest you go check it out if you're in the Manasquan, NJ area!
