Sweet Life Bakeshoppe

I own an Audiology practice in charlotte and provide all of my new patients free pies. Needless to say this has meant that I have tried A LOT of their pies, you know, for research and patient guidance purposes. I have never been disappointed. I can say that their Key Lime is one of the best if not the best Key Lime I have ever tasted. Sweet Life has been very gracious to us and helped us out of a couple of tough situations with quick turnaround and also they stayed late when we forgot to pick up a pie. I honestly cannot ask for better consistent product and service than what they provide my business. There is a saying that goes, «Sincerity can only be measured by attention to detail.» I have never been disappointed with anything I have purchased. You really should give this Bake Shop a try.

VERY dissapointed with the cake my wife bought here for my birthday last week. I felt so bad for her after the extensive on-​line research for a great cake bakery in town., since we are new in town. She contacted the bakery for a chocolate based cake suggestion, and was politely guided and ordered a 6″ chocolate with chocolate cream cheese icing. $ 30 plus later and eaten the same day, the 4 of us were very dissapointed. First if all it was a butter cream icing and not the cream cheese she oredered. Secondly the cake part was very dry. Almost had a burnt taste. We only ate a third of the cake and the rest remains in the fridge uneaten.
Needless to say, my wife was embarrassed after all of her effort in choosing a bakery. this bakery should be ashamed of their quality control. I assume this is not the norm.

This place was awesome. I went there one afternoon to inquire about cupcakes for my boss’ birthday. The original place could not do it because they had appointments only for Friday and not Thursday. I was very impressed about the treatment I received. She gave me a sample. She told me about her frosting flavor. I wanted Washington Redskins’ cupcakes; however, she could not do them for some reason. No biggie. She said, trust me, I have some good flavors and colors. She made me a nice pink cupcake with golden frosting. They were so beautiful that no person wanted to eat any of them. We actually took pictures of them and posted them on our networking sites. The cupcakes were so soft on the inside and evenly cooked throughout. The frosting is sweet yet not too sweet. We loved the place, and we will definitely be back.

I simply love this place. If I could I would be there daily. The cupcakes are moist and made with quality ingredients. The choices are changed daily, but I really love the chocolate chip cookie with sea salt simply amazing. I took my nephew there and he being 10 years old he fell madly in love with his bakery. One week I went everyday. Quaint and family owned the environment is easygoing and welcoming.

What you have to love about this cup cake shop is the feeling of a good ol fashion eclectic home feel in the décor to the service. We were greated by the shop owners, daughter and mother. I seriously would go back just because they were very nice and welcoming.
Now, I wanted to try all the cupcake selections but chose the chocolate cream cheese filled (since it is a customer favorite), the red velvet «crack» bar, and a mini white red velvet cupcake for our baby boy. I had to try the chocolate cupcake right away, and wow! I can see why it’s a customer favorite, it was super moist, and decadent. Every bite did not disappoint, at $ 2.50 a cupcake this was well worth it.
Now to the red velvet bar … Where have you been all my life? My love absolutely loves red velvet and since today is his birthday, thank you Sweet Life for offering homemade yummy treats that we look forward to enjoying again.

Went for the first time the other day and the cupcakes were so good, that I actually went back again the same day and bought more.
I would definitely recommend, I can’t wait to try their other baked goods as well.

Stopped in for an vanilla flavored iced coffee and a look see. Loved the atmosphere and décor. They were featuring a Mexican chili chocolate cupcake that looked amazing! Will be back for the iced coffee special!

I am so happy to have a good bakery in the area. I have driven some pretty crazy distances for good food, so it’s nice to save on gas since I spend so dang much on ridiculous amounts of baked goods.
First of all, I don’t like chocolate cake. It’s always dry and just too much. I decided to try the Reese’s cupcake one day and… I felt so dirty. That freaking cupcake was SO good. When you bite it, it loves you back, right in the mouth hole. I am tearing up just thinking about it [deep sigh]. All of the other varieties are excellent as well, but if you can convert me, you won my heart.
The owners are really friendly and and the place is absolutely beautiful inside. I even hung around long enough one day to find out that they use some pretty special ingredients from all over the world.
Not to forget the other goodies… the salted chocolate chip cookies are out of this world. I don’t even know why I tried it, but I do not regret that decision. They have a lemon and blueberry macaron that will have you tweaking until they open the doors the next day, and… my hand hurts. Just go… but go early. They sell out frequently and when they do, there is no one there to dry your tears.

Where have I been and why didn’t anyone tell me that I have missed this adorable yummy little bakery for 7 MONTHS!!! SEVEN. S-​E-​V-​E-​N. SIETE. HOW? WHY? Who can I blame?
Anyway, I randomly was walking around after getting my normal smoothie at Healthy Home Market when I decided to run down to the bookstore. On the way there was a sign outside that was literally glowing! The heavens opened up and a spotlight illuminated the whole area and I saw the phrase I have grown to love… the phrase above all phrases, the phrase that makes my heart sing…“cupcakes for sale.“
I would have otherwise passed this place because it was hard to see inside, totally non assuming and nothing else about it seems inviting honestly. But that sign saved the day so I approached the door just to SEE what this was all about.
I’m so glad I stopped in. This place is adorable. The couch, funky décor, chalkboard written menu, fun display cases and friendly service all hit me upon entrance. They serve a variety of creative cupcakes per day along with other baked goods, coffee, tea, etc.
I tried the sangria cupcake with a buttercream icing and the tuxedo which was a chocolate and vanilla swirled cupcake with a cream cheese center and icing on top. They bake everything fresh, using the best ingredients and you can tell. The cupcakes were VERY good. The ones I tried were super sweet which I love so it was perfect for me. The cake was moist and a little more on the dense side… again a personal preference. I talked to the owners and learned about other yummy flavors they do throughout the week (I believe they post them on FB as well). Pink velvet, wedding cake, peanut butter, etc. They are going to do an irish car bomb in March!
They offer mini cupcakes or full size and I also saw sea salt chocolate chip cookies which looked heavenly! They are reasonably priced and again, made with real ingredients. They aren’t all about the fluff or the lard to make the cupcake look 400 feet tall… they are about quality and that is way more important to me. I am thrilled to support this local bakery! Stop in, grab a cupcake, coffee and sit on the couch for a few. Totally worth your time.
Oh and bonus? You can swing by wal mart after (which is right across the parking lot). You ALWAYS need something from Wal-​Mart. Enjoy!

I stumbled upon this bakery/​coffee shop after passing it multiple times. The space is welcoming with a comfy looking sofa and chairs. I don’t know, when I arrived after 6:00 PM, the selection was minimal. The large cupcakes were priced at $ 2.75; the small ones were $ 1.50. 90% of the available cupcakes had a filling. My daughter had chocolate with peanut butter filling. She enjoyed it. I shared a small cinnamon bun cupcake and pink-​colored cupcake with white icing that reminded me of birthday cake ice cream. When you take more than one bite and the sugar starts flowing, your mind tells you to eat more! I will try this bakery/​coffee shop again one morning. I hope to find more items available and enjoy a good cup of coffee.

I was looking for a cupcake bakery for a last min birthday and since I didn’t want to drive to the one’s I like in Charlotte, I decided to try this one out. They didn’t have much of a selection by the afternoon. I purchased a salted caramel, vanilla, and chocolate. The salted caramel was the one I was looking forward to, but it disappointed me. The cake was heavy and reminded me of cornbread. It had zero flavor, was dry and hard. The icing was just ok, but the tiny pieces of salted caramel on top were pretty tasty. I was okay with the $ 2.75 cupcake price because Charlotte bakeries charge $ 3-​$ 4 each. The chocolate one was ok, but the vanilla one was hard and dry too.
My friend purchased an ooey gooey bar and a snickers type bar. She said neither were really special and wasn’t impressed. She regretted spending $ 2 per bar.
We will keep looking for better fresh baked goods. I would’ve preferred just buying them at Harris Teeter.

I really like this bakery. We’ve been twice and were very impressed both times. The mother was working the register each time, and she remembered us. She is very friendly and sweet.
The cupcakes really are delicious. This evening I had a spiced vanilla cupcake with an orange cream cheese frosting and it was very good. I’m not typically a cream cheese frosting fan, but this one was less tangy than most and had a wonderful hint of orange. My husband had the grasshopper pie (also super) and my girls each had a chocolate sour cream cupcake that they readily ate before I could ask for a bite.
This is a hidden gem in Matthews, near Party City and across the parking lot from Wal-​Mart. A true bakery was something that I always thought Matthews was lacking… until now. It’s great to pop in for a little dessert and help support a local business. Give it a try!
