Wow. Let me tell you something amazing. Here is my story…read more So I had the pleasure of meeting owner / operator Sheryl through some mutual friends. I was looking for a cake for a special occasion and I was pointed in the direction of Sweets by Sheryll. Sheryll was very personable, bubbly, intrigued and very inviting on what I was looking for. She was able to give me a few ideas and options that would best fit what I was exactly looking for. Sheryll, through the whole process was very in tune with letting me know the price, time of completion and time to pick up the cake. I was never left wondering when the masterpiece would be completed. It was a very smooth process. Now let's get to the cake. The cake was exactly, no no it was beyond what I was expecting. The cake was moist, tasteful bite after bite, sweet but not over powering and the final result of the exterior of the cake was epic!! The cake looked so real, that no one wanted to eat it, lol. Once the first cut happened and tasted, you couldn't fill the plates fast enough. The cake was for a work event. We definitely know who we will be going to for our next dessert/cake. Well done Sheryll! You definitely have the talent and skill to make any occasion a special one.

The flavor was sweet, a bit tangy, moist, and looked beautiful. I am quite sure everyone at the event will be ordering from her for any occasion in the future.

The power bowl was really delicious but the cup they serve it in made it hard to enjoy. I was trying to scoop out the egg which falls to the bottom so that was awkward to eat but super good. I suggest more of a tray or actual bowl would be easier to eat this in. I got my order really quickly and they have plenty parking. It was busy and plenty customers. Really enjoyed my visit and stayed a bit to work in the cafe on my laptop.

I had a plum cinnamon tea which was also great and hit the spot on a rainy day. The WiFi connected but wouldn't open any pages except google, so that was a bummer. I'd love to see for-here food come in an actual plate or bowl. The bowl mine came in had all the egg & sausage on the bottom, so you ate grits first then everything else. Still, I'd come back and try more things. I also tried the chocolate banana thing (muffin? Donut? Cupcake.) and found it pretty disappointing. The cake part itself is good, very moist. Too moist to be a donut or a muffin, so it must be a cupcake, which is weird considering the shape. The icing was awful. It's so overpoweringly sweet it doesn't taste like chocolate or banana, just sugar. If you don't scrape it off, it makes the whole thing way too sweet.

The restaurant is a little on the smaller side but cozy. Service was super friendly as well! I ordered the following: Keto breakfast sandwich with bacon, egg, and cheese: 9/10 - it was so delicious oh my goodness! It was pretty huge too! You can have your choice of bread and I chose a flatbread. The egg was fluffy, cheese was melted, and the bacon was crispy. Who would have though the sandwich was entirely keto friendly too??? Keto cheesecake: 8/10 - I didn't know it was crustless but nonetheless, it was delicious. It had caramel, chocolate drizzle, and nuts on top of the cheesecake layer. The cheesecake itself was creamy and flavorful. They had plenty of carb friendly and keto friendly desserts like brownies, cakes, and cupcakes in their display. I've had their keto cupcakes before and it's kind of dense but it tastes good with not alot of the fake sugar aftertaste. Prices are reasonable for the quality of the food and desserts. I will be back to try other things for sure!

We got a few things to try out because we were nearby and had a little craving for sweets…read more Food-8/10. The flavors are great but the cake is a bit dense and dry. I really wish it had a softer lighter bite but it lacked any sponginess. I realized quickly we would need some milk for coffee to wash it down. The icing was divine though. The caramel drizzle on mine was sweet but not overpowering an in perfect balance. I just really wish the cake itself had been better. I know people prefer different density in their cakes but I'm of the moist and spongy variety. Also the price is a bit high for the cupcake size especially given the quality. Service-10/10. It's counter service but the staff is welcoming and quick to assist. Atmosphere-10/10. Not too difficult to find amid a strip of stores. It's clean and cozy enough with nice seating options. The service and location were appealing but as it's not the type of cakes I enjoy I likely would not return .

Run, don't walk, to this amazing little cafe/bakery on Blanding. Why have I not been here…read morebefore?!? Had gone horseback riding with my daughter, and we were starving. One of our go-tos was closed, so up comes Yelp to lead us to this gem. First, when you walk in, be prepared for your stomach to go full on growl mode. The aroma of freshly baked bread, the sweet smells coming from their bakery case, oh my. I had to stop myself from drooling. They have a very simple menu, but it was still difficult to decide what to choose. I opted for the Pastrami sandwich and my daughter got the Cuban. We decided that way we could go half/half to try both. Then I looked up and noticed they have tamarind juice. Happy dance right then and there. I love this drink. Okay - sandwiches. You know when you eat and you can't stop because it is just so good? Well, this is what happened here. The bread is so perfect - I don't know that I've had a sandwich on bread so perfect. Soft and warm and melt in your mouth. The pastrami was tender and the grilled onions were so good. The Cuban was amazing. My daughter says it's the best she's had - and she grew up near Tampa where you can get a dang good Cuban. Again, the meat was so tender and the flavors were melded together perfectly. Sandwiches are so huge that we both had at least a half left to take home as well. She ended the meal with a cafe con leche. I'm not a coffee drinker, but she said it was incredible. The staff was so friendly and patient with all of our questions. Of course we couldn't walk out without a couple of pastries to go. We both opted for guava filled ones. They were delicious.

It's a counter service style place so you order at the counter and either take your food to go or sit in the small dining area. We chose to sit and stay. My mother got a hot pastrami sandwich and I got the Cuban. Both were amazing! Growing up in a heavily Cuban populated area, I KNOW a good Cuban. And let me tell you, this one was GOOD! The pork was perfectly cooked and the bread is made in house and is worth eating all on its own. So soft but crusty at the same time. The people here were so nice too. Support local owned shops!
