Railyard FVL, an open-air food hall concept coming soon to Fayetteville, has announced that long-time downtown staple, The Sweet Palette, will be opening up at Railyard FVL in 2026.
According to the announcement on social media, Patsy Crawford and her son, Adam, have been serving up high-quality baked goods since 2014, including cupcakes, macarons, cake pops, mini cheesecakes and more.

“Not only are they passionate about baking but they also love and support the local art community, making them a perfect fit. They truly embody Railyard’s motto of Think Different + Be Different and we are so excited to have them join the Railyard family!” stated the Railyard team on their Facebook page.
Fans of the sweet shop won’t have to travel far to get to the new location–just around the corner and down the street. As of a few weeks ago Railyard FVL owner and founder John Kistler shared that 415 West Russell Street has been chosen as the future home of the food hall.
