Sweet Cakes Bakery and Coffee Cafe

My friends and I were traveling to the Salamander Resort and Spa and we decided that we needed a snack, so we stopped by Sweet Cakes. The owners were so friendly and kind! After reviewing the menu, I settled on wings and fries (not exactly a bakery item, but I love wings and fries). The wings were good and cooked to order. My two friends had breakfast sandwiches that looked very tasty and they were satisfied with what they ordered. Another reviewer commented on the Mexican meals… well, I did not have one but I saw several meals delivered to patrons and they seemed to be satisfied. The mini sweet potato pie was fabulous! I do not like my sweet potato pie overly sweet, so it was great for me!
I will say that my coffee, left a little to be desired. Sorry, Mr. Angelo. I ordered the raspberry mocha, but I have to say the only place that can get it right for me, is a place in Houston Texas. This is definitely a gem in the community, so stop by and support a small business! If I lived close, I would definitely order a cake!

I ordered a cupcake cake for a bridal shower. The ordering process was easy and efficient. The cupcake cake were delivered on time as promised. The cupcakes were simply delicious! I will definitely place another order soon. I have not visited the store location.

I went with my family to use my Specialious ‘groupon’ and to check out this bakery. We were looking forward to be having a cupcake or other baked good with a tea etc. we got there today (Saturday) at 12:30 and all the baked goods (cup cakes) were sold out. a few other items were there, but otherwise the shelves were bare… the menu said to have sandwiches, but I don’t want a sandwich going to a Bakery. We were just very disappointed.

I came in with my mom and we opted for the jumbo sized alfajores cookies! Delicioso! They were freshly made and topped with real shredded coconut! I’ll definitely be coming back for another batch!

Spent a few hours here in the AM as I waited for some work to get done on my car. They had super fast wifi, good coffee, and great baked goods. Very comfortable environment to get work done.
When I arrived, there were some customers enjoying some very delicious looking, authentic, mexican breakfast dishes. I was cursing myself for having already eaten. Next time I’ll go hungry.

3.5*** Try the tres leches cake! Moist and delish! Their cases are not stocked well, and the décor needs to improve, but who cares… it’s clean and they actually have quite a selection on the menu. I have seen yummy lunch platters being served and have tried their generous sizes of cupcakes and tres leches. I can’t wait to try their flan.
Will be back.

Great coffee and cupcakes — amazing deals too! Not super pricey and great quality (moist cake, just the right sweetness on the frosting).

5 Stars for the taste… We’ve been here 3 – 4 times in the last 2 months and it’s our favorite cupcake place now. Nothing else compares to the taste of these. The owner is friendly and bakes her cupcakes fresh that day and it shows. They are out for display at room temp and what you see is what you get. We’ve had the cookies and cream, M&M, chocolate, coconut, tropical blue, strawberry and snickers and they were all delectable. The frostings are so sweet and flavorful and depending on your selection they perfectly match the flavor of the cupcake. They are large and super moist and oh so flavorful. You can tell that they are freshly baked that day.
4 Stars for selection: Only reason this is a 4 star review and not 5 is because there isn’t a huge selection. We’ve gone in and had to choose from anywhere from 2 varieties of cupcakes to 6 varieties of cupcakes… that’s it. Usually no more than 3 of any 1 kind of cupcake is out on display and available for purchase.
Since it’s a local shop, she does small batches and when they sell out… that’s it. So don’t expect to go into the store and buy 12 cupcakes — they may not have them. (You can preorder larger amounts of cupcakes.)
These are the largest cupcakes around… when comparing to other local/​semi-​local bakeries they are much larger than the others AND here’s the best part… usually cheaper. Coming in at 2.50 –3.50 per cupcake depending on flavor. Wednesday’s she has a deal… all cupcakes 1.50 too! We haven’t made it out there yet on a Wed., but plan to soon.
There is a coffee bar as well as café area inside where you can order breakfast and lunch items from american to mexican cuisine and they do have a small sampling of other cookies, desserts etc. to purchase.
Every time we have gone there for a cupcake after our lunch elsewhere, there have been numerous customers eating lunch inside and giving kudos to the cooks, so we need to try it for lunch soon.
The shop also does decorated cakes/​wedding cakes.

My daughter and I had a cupcake each. She loved her cupcake (well, she is 2.5 years old :-) and I thought mine was pretty good too. The person behind the counter was friendly and personable. If I was in the area I would come here again.

The only reason I am not giving this little Café more than three stars is I have not been in the shop yet. My son had his 8^th birthday party at an establishment near by where Sweet Cakes delivered the cupcakes and they were delicious. We had chocolate and vanilla flavor. They were very moist and the icing was delicious.
I will definitely stop in and try a few other items and provide an updated review.

Awesome cupcakes! Can’t wait to go again.

It smelled bad the second I walked in there. Stale water, not baking. There was nobody, I had to walk to the kitchen and stick my head through the door. It was 1 o’clock on a Saturday afternoon and it was dark with nobody in there. There were only 3 cupcakes available. Not 3 flavors; 3 one-​offs in 3 different rows in the display case.
Since it didn’t smell like baking, there were no customers, and 2 of the 3 the remaining cupcakes looked to have been manhandled, I’m pretty sure they were a day old at least. I didn’t want any of them.
I’d not bother to look in again.

Next to my hair place. I succumb to a cupcake most times now. Delicious, bought from a professional and really nice owner.

I stopped by with my children after a hair appointment next door. It was our second visit to the bakery and our LAST. We stood in front of the glass display case for about 5 minutes watching staff members walk past us several times to the case behind us back to the kitchen, another person was working the coffee bar — no one acknowledged us at all. I would have waited another 5 minutes if someone would have spoken to me or smiled but since we were treated as if we didn’t exist, we just left… and if you’ve ever dealt with a kid that you promised a cupcake to and couldn’t fulfill it, the drive home sucked. I’m not willing to deal with disappointment again… doesn’t matter how good your product is, is your service stinks, you wont have customers.
(PS — it was easy to walk away considering that you only had 2 varieties of cupcakes in the cake)

I’m concerned with their business practices. If you advertise a cake for $ 18, please charge that price, not more. When I inquired why I was charged more, I was told I had to pay for the box. Really. If you are that cheap, you need to disclose such erroneous charges on your menu. Additionally, it would be helpful to provide a more informative website that lists your bakery items, etc.
On a more positive the cake itself has delicious sweet butter-​cream frosting the kind that was on cakes when I was kid. The cupcakes were more generously garnished with icing, while the cake I was over-​charged for was less than generous with the icing. And had two skimpy flowers. Perhaps since they were closing at 12 noon today, they ran out out of the butter cream frosting.
I bought the cake for my birthday and agree with other reviewers regarding the staff.

Ok cake but the staff is inefficient and the owner is rude.
I’ve got cupcakes from them before and they tasted OK, not awful but not excellent by any means.
I tried to order a birthday cake from them using a Specialicious voucher. The staff on the phone was confused and inefficient. I was first told I could use the cupcake voucher towards the cake but when we went through the ordering, I was told no I could not use it towards the cake.
The owner got on the phone and she was extremely rude. She made it sound as if I was stupid and lying while I was trying to explain what I have heard. I have not experienced such awful business owners for a long time!
Their pastries might be OK but I just don’t see why anybody would want to deal with such business owners while you can find better pastries with nicer people!

Excited to get something sweet, but walked out empty handed. My entry to this bare and empty space was announced by a doorbell that echoed through the room. No menus to be found and the walls were naked. We came upon a cashier counter with a small glass display of a few cupcakes. Off to the side was a bar counter, again we searched for what it was we could order. We weren’t greeted or offered any help and there was nothing we could help ourselves too. The website was very much the same way. I’ve seen business’s come and go in that space, it will be interesting to see how long this Sweet Cakes will be around.

Stopped in for a coffee and a cupcake, very nice place… nice people. I will be going back, and will be ordering a holiday pie /​cake. You should go try this place!

Very cute café!!! With good cakes and pies! They also serve other foods– the chili was Very good! The cutest set up if you want to meet up with someone and have coffee and a cupcake ! And the prices are better than other places in the area.

Cupcakes melt in your mouth!!! I love the coffee as well! You have to visit and get the coffee bean cupcake !
