I needed a sheet cake from a nut free bakery for a siblings birthday party. I found Awesome Sweets and boy was I lucky! The cake was huge - easily serve 30 people. The cake, frosting and filling were perfect. This was an amazing birthday cake. The fact that I could find a fantastic nut free bakery is fantastic. I highly recommend this place for your cake and cup cake needs. read more

After visiting Awesome Sweets as part of the inaugural Triple Play: Best Donuts, Best Cookies, & Best Cupcakes by RI FOOD FIGHTS in April, I knew I had to order a cupcake bouquet from Awesome Sweets for my friend's bridal celebration party. The cupcake bouquets are made to order and come in a variety of flowers and colors. Bouquets come in 7, 12, 14, 19, 24 cupcakes. Three weeks ahead of the date of the party, I called and placed an order with Susan, owner of Awesome Sweets Bakery. Susan walked me through the flavors and fillings of the cupcakes and the colors. I chose 7 cupcakes-3 Red Velvet filled with Chocolate Mousse and 4 Funfetti filled with Strawberry Buttercream and for colors-blue, yellow, white, and pink. Credit card information was also taken when I placed my order. It was very easy to work with Susan. On the day of the party, I went to pick up the cupcake bouquets and they all looked so beautiful. It was stored in a tall box and was easy to transport. I can tell so much attention to detail and hard work went into piping the flower petals. The cupcakes were moist and icing wasn't overly sweet. My friend absolutely loved the cupcake bouquet and the cupcakes were very yummy. Thank you Susan! read more

Came here for RI Food Fights and I chose their mocha cappuccino cupcake. The coffee flavor was strong and absolute perfection. I haven't tasted many desserts like this - the flavor was amazing and the cupcake was moist. The frosting was also incredible and had a nice, silky texture. I loved the little sticks as well. The owner was super friendly and proud of her products. I've never heard of this place before and I know now I'll be back. read more

We could not have been happier with our experience working with this bakery for our wedding cake and cupcakes! From the very beginning, they were incredibly friendly, professional, and so helpful in guiding us through the process of choosing flavors and styles. They even sent us home with a full tasting kit so we could enjoy all of the flavors at our own pace--such a thoughtful touch that made the decision fun and stress-free. One of the most impressive things was how well they accommodated our dairy-free requests. You would never know the difference--the cakes were moist, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Our guests had no idea some of the cupcakes were dairy-free, and everyone was raving about how amazing they tasted throughout the night. On top of their baking talent, the entire team was warm, accommodating, and truly made us feel cared for during the planning process. The end result was not only gorgeous, but every bite was perfection. We are so grateful to have chosen them to be part of our special day! read more

My cake lady sold the business and moved down south. I MISS YOU MELISSA!! I walked into Awesome yesterday and noticed the change immediately- but sidenote I was unaware that the owners changed. The person working the counter explained everything to me but said don't worry- same recipes! I had reached out via email while they were on vacation for a cake for my son's birthday. I was given a quote and thought wow- that's high! I have bought at least 5 cakes from Melissa and only paid that much once when I was ordering for a large party not a dinner for 10. I just thought- well the times they are a changing! Now it makes sense. I changed my order to a dozen cupcakes. Bottom line: I was disappointed. The cupcakes were priced at over $3 a piece and they were small, inconsistent (look at the coloring of the actual cake and some were a little bigger and some a little smaller than others) and the icing was too sweet. I felt I did not spend my money wisely and even sadder, have lost my cake lady... read more

As someone with a severe tree nut allergy, and an insatiable sweet tooth, finding a nut-free bakery for our wedding was one of our top priorities as we began the wedding planning process. We were over the moon when we found Awesome Sweets in Pawtucket and from the first correspondence with Sue and her team, they were nothing but excited for us! They walked us through each step of the design process and offered so many different flavors to choose from. Sue really brought my wedding cake vision to life and took care to make sure that everything was perfect, even on the day of the wedding. The cake topper and flower placement were absolute perfection, and her attention to detail did not go unnoticed. As for the flavor, I simply could not get enough of lemon and raspberry. It got the point where I was actually stealing it off my husband's fork! The best part was that I could enjoy our cake without having to be afraid of having dessert. For people with this allergy, this is a constant worry. I am so grateful for Awesome Sweets for making my sweet-toothed dream come to life and it will be my go-to the next time I am craving something sweet! read more

Our wedding cake was sooo delicious!! We had golden cake with raspberry filling and ivory vanilla buttercream frosting. So happy that I met these amazing ladies at the RI Bridal Show. The samples at the bridal show were delicious and moist (I detest that word but I mean really you do want a moist cake!) and that was what I found at the tasting as well as the final product. The tasting was unique with six different cupcake flavors, six different fillings and six different frostings. I made a blind taste test sheet and bride, groom, and family all voted. We had a tie for the golden cake and the red velvet for taste and ended up going with the traditional look of golden cake. We ordered a large three tier cake and a sheet cake which was more than enough to serve our 120 guests. Highly recommend and I will be stopping in soon for a cupcake! read more

Sue and her team at Awesome Sweets did an incredible job on our wedding cake! We had gotten a fun birthday cake from them in the past so already had a good opinion going in, but we were completely blown away! We had a very ambitious design in mind; a three tiered cake decorated with sculpted buttercream icing, fondant drapery, two different fillings, a fresh fruit and edible flower decor, all big enough to feed a hundred or so people. We also wanted a matching gluten-, egg-, and dairy-free cupcake bouquet for the folks in our wedding with allergies. Sue was incredible every step of the way. She walked us through each decision we needed to make on the taste and presentation, from the flavor of frosting and filling, to the tier size, offset, and position of the decor to best present the fondant folds. The only item we were asked to provide was the flowers, and there are many sites that will ship to any address in the US so it was easy for us to accomplish. We got edible roses, carnations, and herb blossoms (and took the opportunity to stock up for our bartenders signature drinks as well). The cake was delivered on time and looked absolutely stunning. The cupcakes were included as well, and made to specification with no allergens. We got so many compliments on how beautiful it all looked, and as many on how great it tasted! Everything was delicious, including the allergen-free cupcakes. Our only regret is it was all eaten, so we'll just have to go back and get another (Non-wedding!) cake soon. Five stars all the way! read more

Even after she said 'OK' and went over to the register to ring it all in, we had to repeat the order, again. The Americano coffee was not made correctly. It literally tasted like dirty water. Definitely did not use the appropriate amount of espresso in this drink. The Mocha was not blended correctly and was grainy with a lot of sediment at the bottom of the cup. I was unable to finish drinking that. The friends we met up with mentioned they are surprised how many tables were open on a Saturday. In the past there was 'always a line' of people ordering and waiting for a table. During our visit there were several empty tables. The pastry were very tasty though, so that was nice. They do have a nice selection of pastry available and we might try some more of those offerings another time. The ambiance is very cute. Bus your own tables. On street parking.

Love the name! We were resting in our hotel room when my…read moredaughter asked to take a night stroll and she wanted something sweet. She brought me here and all the cookies were looking so delicious! You could see the area in the back where sheets of cookie doughs were waiting to be sent to the oven; fresh daily baked cookies, it seems. Love the interior decor! The server was super nice!

I know my way around a cookie. And I thought this cookie was pretty good! Granted, I've been here a…read moregrand total of one time, and ordered a single cookie. But I thought that one cookie was great! At first, I was hesitant as the trendy pink decor was reminiscent of Crumbl, whose cookies I do not enjoy. So I was expecting Feed the Cheeks to serve me some generic, overly sweet gimmicky monstrosity that would make me ill. But no! I ordered the chocolate strawberry cookie and I really liked it. It wasn't overly sweet, but balanced in its flavor. The strawberry icing wasn't thick and gross and overly sweet either. The chocolate was rich and because they warmed it up, perfectly ooey gooey. If I had been a little more cognizant of my surroundings instead of getting worked up by the iPad ordering system (can we please bring back human interaction?), I probably would've gotten a four pack of the mini cookies and sampled a few flavors. But when in Rome, order the giant cookies. The cookie still tasted good when I finished it at work the next day, too. The inside is what you'd expect, and very pink. And there's a few short stools at a very low counter you can sit at. I had some time to kill so I sat and ate my cookie there. Passersby looked down on us from the large windows facing Angell Street. Maybe they were jealous that they didn't treat themselves to a big cookie, or maybe they were cherishing their own willpower as they looked forward to the kale salad awaiting them at home. Either way, the cookie was a great choice!

Look closely to find the unassuming establishment nestled within a quiet neighborhood. The space is nestled within an impressive array of indoor plants. The logo is adorable. Service: there was no line when we arrived but about 10 people when we left. We were promptly invited to look at the chalkboards (or an ipad) for a menu. No taste testing as they are all sandwiches/tacos pre-made. Friendly and prompt service. Ice cream: wow, a 10/10! As recommended, we patiently waited 5min for it to thaw to the perfect texture. We tried the Ube with coconut, Banana pudding with peanut butter, and Red Velvet with chocolate... worth every penny of the $5.50/$6.50! Creamy, light, not overly sweet... exciting but not avant garde. There's space for about 8-9 people to sit inside, so be prepared to take large parties outside to enjoy! Can't wait to be back!

Rating: 4.5 Came to…read moretry this ice cream place i've been meaning to try after getting dinner at there there as I've noticed it's right next to it. It's a small local ice-cream shop with variety of unique ice cream options. Inside is small and there are not really seatings to expect to take them outside or bring it home. They have a big blackboard at the top that shows their menu and also has ipad that has menus as well. They offer ice-cream sandwiches, ice cream tacos, push pops, and cones. I got their almond coconut chocolate ice cream taco. It was very chocolaty with hint of almonds and coconut flavor. The crunchy shell with chocolate was tasty. A bit heavy and rich but to be expected. Service is quick as they seem to have all the ice-cream already prepped in the freezer. Overall, the place was good. Another unique Ice cream shop in the area which is always welcome. Would like to coke back yo try their other type of ice-creams.

Parking can be challenging especially seeing this restaurant runs on Lonsdale Ave a busy street in itself. The line was out the door and that's where I stood waiting patiently. The love moves at a decent pace. Here finally my turn and I honestly had no clue what to expect or what they even really sold but I was hoping they had anything that contained ham and cheese and they did, Brad with ham and cheese for $3.50 I was surprised that was all. They do gave finger foods, drinks coffee and fruit drinks, breads, pastries of many sorts. I was tempted to get a pastry but I stayed focused. The bread was actually good and tasted fresh they only concern which was a big one for me was that there was hardly any ham and cheese in it and I mean like barely none. I could have actually went with just bread as that's what I felt I received. Would I return maybe especially if I am in mood for something g sweet as the variety was plenty to choose from. There is a sit down area on both sides of the restaurant with one big screen tv. This place seems more of a grab and go type establishment. They open at 5:00am and close at I believe 9:00 pm

I don't speak much Spanish so used to get intimidated going into order but the food is just so good, it was worth every trip. Great news is that they just got an online ordering platform! You can order right online for pick up and bypass the long line out the door. The place is always busy but worth the wait, I would definitely suggest ordering online if you are in a rush. They don't have much parking but I always somehow find street parking. It's a very casual place with cafeteria style seating. I get the chicken with potato empanadas, beef empanadas, with their homemade hot sauce. They also have a ton of pastries. All homemade DELICIOUS!
