This is one of the best bakeries. Their treats are so buttery and taste absolutely delightful…read more Everything is so beautiful and gives the look of artistry. I love the pineapple coconut cookies. I've eaten them for years. They are delicate yet the flavor of pineapple and coconut work so well together. The cookies are moist and soft. They are such a joy to bite into. This day I also tried the toasted almond cupcake. While beautiful, it was extremely sweet, even for me. I couldn't eat it in one sitting. I don't think I'd ever purchase it again. It does remind you of the good humor toasted almond ice cream bars that were discontinued. But I just wish the topping wasn't so sweet. The cake was blander to complement the icing but it just wasn't for me. If you are looking to host an event or surprise a friend, i think treats from this bakery say I love you! There is so much variety that you should be able to find something for anyone. I took one star off because the staff isn't too conversational which takes away from the experience. .

If not; you can order from their extensive cake menu. Small sitting area if you choose to sit and have a slice of cake in the shop, several flavors available for that!!! Staff could be more forthcoming, on a few occasions I found the counter help to be fast and demanding by basically asking over and over "how many cupcakes are you getting, I need to know " seriously just let us see them first!!! A more relaxed visit would had us back more times! The last visit was a new crew- much better service!

My husband ordered a gluten free cake from Alexa Marie's Sweets On Streets for my 40th birthday…read more When he ordered it, he told her to "have fun" and I think she did! It was a very vanilla graham cake with salted honey marscarpone filling and a mocha frosting. It was fabulous! All the flavors went together beautifully. The cake had a beautiful flavor and was nice and moist. The flavor of the mocha frosting was not overpowering and complementary to the rest of the flavors. The salted honey marscarpone filling had a hint of salt and a hint of sweet which was also complimentary. The frosting flower decorations were beautiful and the custom cake topper brought everything together. Plus, she delivered. I will definitely use Alexa Marie's Sweets on Streets again!

I guess that they heard me already on this and were totally supportive and did a well informed tasting for us where they were very accommodating to our requirements. They customised this cake for us absolutely perfectly where we got both fillings of chocolate and mocha because we couldn't land on just one type. The decoration was done with the most buttery frosting and not the almost inedible hard frosting which is overly sweet. The frosting we got was buttery and delicious. They don't do cake toppers but they give you the dimensions and you can order the topper and bring it to them. The added bonus for us was that they are about 2-3 minutes drive from us. The amazing thing is they deliver and are very punctual with their deliveries. Totally recommend.

It was decorated beautifully. My only issues were 1. price ($50 seemed a bit high, we needed it for just 4 people and this was their smallest size. 2. The butter cream frosting was too rich and went mostly uneaten. To be fair about the price, I probably could have chosen a less expensive version.

We were down in the street and I saw on their social media they were just reopening after vacation…read moreso we popped in! I'm so glad we did. I wish we were closer as everything looked great!

Great service with the kindest help allowing ne to capture photos as it was our first visit. 5 stars! We'll be back.

The only thing we don't like are the other desserts in the case. There has only been one thing that we have enjoyed, and it was a Mango Toaster Pastry from our first visit. Other than that, we find the brownies, cookies, etc. to be pretty average...sometimes too sweet, sometimes too bland. Cupcakes are their specialty for sure, and we'll keep coming back for those.

There are different seating options including a back room which houses a beautiful yellow sofa, blue chairs, coffee table, and three arcade games. There is also a large room downstairs to rent out for gatherings such as birthday parties. Such a nice idea! The gluten-free cupcakes were soft, rich and yummy. I wish I had more. There was a really nice guy working the day I came in. He has been working for Hardcore Sweet Bakery for two years. He was very helpful and answered all of my many questions. He's a keeper! The only thing this place is missing is coffee. Then it would be absolutely perfect. Love this place! Snack and stay awhile.

A surprisingly good bakery, that is a little too happy to wear it's success on it's sleeve…read more In a restored factory in Southington is a little hipster foodie mecca. With axe throwing, a retro arcade, coffee, chocolate, and this bakery. I got to explore the exposed brick and large filament lights of this specific locale, and picked up some sweets from this little shop. It's very much loud and proud in it's appearances on popular food television. Having pride in your success is a good thing, but it's very much in your face about it. It also prices accordingly, making the price of the baked goods you get at least a couple bucks extra. Thankfully, the baked goods are actually pretty good. We got a couple misfits, a couple french macarons, and one of the dessert waffles they had. The misfit muffins tasted pretty good, soft and light, not too sweet, and well balanced. The French macarons, they were not too great. the filling was sweet but lacking depth. they were pretty though. The standout was the Dessert waffle. Sweet, crispy but cakey, and plenty of chocolate and peanut butter flavor. A surprising bite, and tasty. Overall, it's a good dessert place to go to and try out. Not worth a trek,but a solid choice for that specific area

Hardcore Sweet is a bakery that opened in Watertown, Connecticut in 2012. It was founded by husband…read moreand wife Jeremy and Nicole Braddock. The bakery was initially founded as a cupcake truck. The two bakers were then featured on Food Network shows such as "Winner Cake All" and "Cupcake Wars", winning the latter. After that, they opened their first brick and mortar bakery. Most recently they competed on the Netflix show "Sugar Rush". A second location opened in Southington at the historic Factory Square complex in October 2021. Another location once existed at the Buckland Hills Mall in Manchester, but it has since closed. The locations offer cupcakes, custom cakes, cake pops, whoopie pies, cookies and muffins. I stopped at the Southington location of Hardcore Sweet for the first time this past July. Several businesses located at Factory Square were offering special menu items to celebrate Harry Potter's birthday. Factory Square is located conveniently alongside the popular Farmington Canal Trail, so I cycled there. Hardcore Sweet had several Harry Potter offerings that day, but by the time I had arrived most of them were sadly sold out. I ordered one of the few Harry Potter treats that they had left: Buckbeak's Breakfast Cupcake. It was delicious! I definitely need to come back to try more of their tasty treats on a future visit to Factory Square. I just need to get there earlier in the day when their selection is bigger.

The shell is like no other shell I've ever had, very crispy, but yet very flaky and quality and taste. The cream is excellent, not too sweet and the perfect balance of chips and extracts.
