A celebration I wish I'd started when my son was small so it could've been a tradition: Finding the little treasure hidden inside the Galette des Rois tart would've been magical. We'll settle for special and delicious; when it's from Jane the Bakery you know it'll be sublime. Puff pastry, frangipane, as fun to say as good to eat. read more

We stopped by months later for their baguette (which is the best in the city, imho) and mentioned our experience with the s'mores pie. Apparently others had complained around the same time as our purchase (it was an issue with the graham crackers) and they offered us a new one on the house. It was delicious. read more

Still glad they call it Sweet Things although it is now owned by Jane. My go to when I want a really good tort or cake.

Now if Jane could only help them bring bqck the millionaire bars!! read more

It is not sweet things anymore-sold their soul to national shipping-lost the neighborhood vibe, disappointed- delivery is passed off, so when its incomplete-they have take responsibility-seriously?? 0 stars read more

I called the store told them I was ordering on DoorDash and asked how many cupcakes you got for $18. They told me four. After I placed and received my order I got one cupcake for $18. I don't think any cupcake in the world is worth one cupcake for $18! Beware if you order through delivery. read more

Red velvet cake was made yesterday. I literally ordered right when they opened. Whole cake went to the trash.

YUMMY flourless chocolate cake. Didn't think I would be a fan but it was very delicious. I have bought it twice now and both times were great tasting. Definitely would go back and try their other items. read more

Look left as you enter Cal-Mart, and you'll see a large amount of pastries in a small space. The choices are vast, and it will take much time to decide since everything looks beautiful. I still haven't tried all their desserts. I usually buy a cookie, while admiring cakes and tarts. Dirt bombs are special, and only sold on certain days. They are donut muffins rolled in cinnamon and sugar, a delicious morning treat. Double or Nothings are great, and also known as black and white cookies. They sell flourless peanut butter cookies and a wheat-free cinnamon swirl cake slice, among other flourless/wheat free items. Sheet cakes and wedding cakes could be ordered. They always have special holiday treats. "Delectable Desserts Since 1977" is their slogan, and they definitely exemplify it. Please visit! read more

Ordered the carrot cake for our team member's birthday and my boss who was a carrot cake fan was so impressed! It was super rich. The 6inch seems a bit small but it was dense and was still enough to share with our team. i highly recommend if you are a carrot cake fan read more

So delighted to know that Jane's Sweet Things has GF options in the Cupcake Arena. I usually go for the flourless chocolate cake so delicious. Their location CalMart is so convenient and you can't miss them once you walk in. Their corner is always stocked with tempting treats and the best cookies and Cakes. Note- their breads sell out fast so an AM visit is more in order. Please ask for Damaris. She is a delight to chat with and always helpful. Cheers and thanks - Chef_John3 read more

LOOOOOOVE THE CAKES AND PIE! The chocolate cake is so decadent and perfect for my friend's birthday! The lemon tart is also mouth watering. read more

Extremely kind on the phone. VERY helpful. If I lived in San Francisco I would go there weekly. Sometimes it appears that people forget kindness and they do not lack in this at all. It was a same day delivery order and they didn't make me feel like I should have done it sooner. They get an A+ from me. read more

A sweet surprise awaits you inside Cal-Mart. They have very yummy sweet treats. IMHO, their cupcakes are way better than the ones down the block. How? It's the difference between flavor and sugar. Sweet Things also sell yummy cookies and other pastries. And they make one type of dog biscuit, so sometimes I buy it for my little one when we are here, so he doesn't feel left out. read more

The best Tuxedo Cake!! Excellent Cherry Pie. This is my favorite bakery. I always order from the location at Cal Mart. The staff is wonderful and very helpful. read more

Well, this is quite lame...this sweet things is nothing like the location in tiburon...and here are the reasons why. 1) the people who work here are absolutely miserable. I've been here twice...did we ever get a smile? Did any of the other customers get a smile? NOPE! Lame. The other location in tiburon have peeps that are super friendly. 2) the items don't have the same quality as tiburon. I'm not exactly sure but I'm thinking that things don't get baked here and get shipped from the other location. What is the result? Dry everything! Dry strawberry cupcakes, dry bundt cake, dry carrot cake. Dry, dry, dry! 3) the tiburon location NEVER runs out of ice cream cookies. When I asked the person behind the counter if they had an ice cream cookie, I just got a nod of the head. Blech. Sad to say that this location does not give sweet things any justice. The other location is absolutely amazing! Sweet things...please get this place together cause it needs lots of work! read more

Had the driest cupcake from this location. It was terrible. It tasted like bread, not cake. Maybe it was old. Sweet Things always had delicious cupcakes. read more

My family has been coming here for decades. The previous owners were wonderful, and thankfully Jane hasn't broken what didn't need to be fixed. The family favorite is the Hungarian coffee cake- yum! They of course have many other delicious creations and some of the Jane products are now also featured. Whenever we're out that way we detour off the freeway and stop for a cake to take home. read more

Lisa was very helpful..and l love that they have minis for everything you can have your fix without going overboard on calories. When it comes to things "non-necessary and little to no nutritional value" I tend to hesitate a lot as for what to get/makings choices.Thats where Lisa's patience comes in! Answering my question and helping meselecting!! Her Co-worker however was very rude without even talking to me she kept rolling her eyes and making faces at my questions when l wasn't even taking to her! luckily for me and her l am much older and mature no worth to make a comment. But if you are going to be around people/customers leave that attitude at home! read more

Uhh maybe put it somewhere that it's inside the supermarket?? I spent a while looking for it, technology has failed me that day, and who has time to scroll thru all the ads that yelp is littering pages with. Friendly worker took my order and gave me what I wanted quick easy simple. It was loud in the supermarket so she missed one of the things, and since the box was taped shut I didn't bother to check and didn't ask for a receipt. So not their fault. read more

Before I begin, I just have to ask one very important and perplexing question: what exactly does red velvet suppose to taste like? I've had it before and for the most part enjoyed it. The thing is I just don't know what flavors I'm suppose to be experiencing. My most recent experience with red velvet was at Sweet Things - kinda fitting for Valentine's, right? The wife and I both agree the cupcakes here are really good: the sour cream frosting and moist cake are delicious. After devouring a couples of 'em, neither one of us could figure out if the red velvet was in fact chocolaty or not. If there's a flavor for red then shouldn't there be a flavor for blue? Last (and most tangent) note: The first time I heard Mary J. Blige sing Sweet Thing I was totally blown away. Then I recently discovered Chaka's version. It wasn't bad. Here's the link If you wanna listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaMJeQYz6c4 read more

So I know I shouldn't be YELPing at work but I just HAD to. I came here before I went to work just so I can get some sweets for the day. I needed it bad. Parking couldn't be more perfect. I got parking right outside! SCORE! It was my first time going to Cal Mart so I wasn't sure where the bakery was located at. It was right when you walk in. Another SCORE because I'm such a lazy pig, I just don't wanna walk around the grocery market. I saw LOTS of baked goodies and was super happy with what I was looking at. I was greeted with the lovely ladies behind the counters with a smile. Shows good customer service! I didn't know what to choose so I stood there for awhile and giving myself a headache from trying to think of what to get. I just went to just a couple cupcakes. I had the Red Velvet ($2.25): Bomb ass Red Velvet cupcake! Oh my fucken God. I've never had a Red Velvet like this before. Moist and delicious. The cream cheese frosting was just right. Not too over whelming with sweetness. I LOVED it! I wish I had 3. Mini version Bugsy Cupcake (Carrot Cupcake): Cream cheese frosting was the same as the one on Red Velvet so of course it was the bomb. Cake itself was OK. I wasn't too OMG about it. Mini version Black and White: Chocolate cake with vanilla frosting. Also just OK. Mini Version Fudge Chocolate: Chocolaty! Mini Version Butter Cake: Yummy butter cake cupcake with vanilla frosting. Mini Cupcakes are $1.00 each OMG 4 fucken cupcakes in a day! I feel like I've gained about 10lbs with ***Gary Danko*** in my schedule for dinner tomorrow, damn I have to go hit the gym. Price is really reasonable compared to a lot of bakeries in the city. I will definitely be back for the cookies!! read more

Chocolate frosting is special to me. And this version is creamy & not too sweet. It is easily & definitely one of the better chocolate frostings in SF. The seasonal cookies, especially the Christmas cookies, & the lemon bars, are noteworthy. Honestly, if you're not baking them yourself, this is where you want to go. The cakes are pretty great. Oh how I've drooled over this case. Carrot cake, red velvet cake, chocolate cake (my fave)...I've always been happy here. They're tasty & moist, as they should be. Now the downside. This being the Cal Mart location, the selection is substantially smaller than at their Tiburon bakery. So if you don't come early in the day, it could be slim pickings. But, on another upside, there's Mariage Freres tea for sale, too. Love, love. 4 stars. read more

NOTE: Sweet Things is located inside of Cal-Mart grocery store. I HEART cupcakes! I heart cupcakes so much I wake up extra early to pick them up, have them ordered and delivered to my job and have even created my own cupcake list. Someday, I will own my very own cupcakery... Someday. So after I dropped off my cute pup Casey to the groomers, and after catching up with a very good friend, I decided to try out this place since it had so many great reviews on Yelp. Once again, Yelp didn't disappoint. I had several of the mini's and the red velvet. Every single cupcake I tried was great ! I will definitely be back! Loved the cupcakes. read more

Wow, I have to say this place is ... insane. First this is IN A SUPERMARKET people ... if you see Cal Markets, yes go inside! It's in there! I almost missed it because I could not figure out where this place could possibly be. But goodness was it the best discovery ever. I only got their red velvet, and I consider myself quite a red velvet connoisseur since I've literally had red velvet all over the country from New York to San Diego to LA to the Bay Area ... and this takes takes the cake! (no pun intended :D) Their red velvet is buttery smooth and extremely moist, flavorful in every bite and the perfect amount of cream topping to add to the deliciousness. I've never had a red velvet so perfectly balanced as it was here. Now I crave it every day ... read more

I am OBSESSED with your raspberry tea cookies. Seriously are there addictive drugs inside? I get them at the Polk street cheese store. Thankfully it is not in my neighborhood - but in my friend's hood. Not thankfully - I am on cat-sitty duty this week, and those GD cookies literally call to me when I walk by. GAR - they seem (initially) expensive at $5 for 4 cookies - but lots of cookies are $1+ a piece and even up to $2. Trust me they are well worth not only seeking out - but seeking out and then hiding form you significant other. (sorry honey) Sweet Jesus - do I need to go to rehab? read more

I would have expected higher prices for being in the Laurel Village area, but everything was priced like any other bakery. The cupcakes were just okay - a bit on the sweeter side than other cupcake specialists in the city. The carrot cupcake was my favorite, and the black and white cupcake was another one I liked. Their red velvet was a disappointment - It tasted like the carrot cupcake. Cupcake costed about $2.something, mini cupcakes were $1 each (my favorite), random cookies were around the dollar range... I just wished they baked stuff daily - the stuff they had laying in their display today was the exact same stuff from yesterday - but it all still tasted good. JONASAPPROVED! read more

They're located in Cal Mart so they're super crammed into a corner. But that doesn't stop them from having a great selection of baked goods. I work just down the block so it's my go-to place for cookies and cupcakes if I'm going to a party. This last time I was picking out Valentine treats for my bf. I choose: 1. the shortbread lip cookie, half dipped in red frosting 2. The big red shortbread cookie heart half dipped in red frosting and with little pearl sprinkles 3. Pecan pie square 4. Sugar cookie heart with red sprinkles 5. Marshmallow shaped heart with pink sprinkles Everything was great, especially the marshmallow heart. You have to try it. It's not like the commercially made ones you get in a plastic bag. The only beef I have with the place is the pricing. Most things are reasonable but I was eyeing this sugar cookie shaped like a pig. It was $4.50. Why would ONE cookie be $4.50? Sorry bf, although I love you long time, I did not buy the piggy cookie for you. :( read more

Sweet things has been such a good bakery and been going there since I was little. They have hands down the best carrot cake, cookies and pies and the women who work there have always been so friendly. Just ordered a dozen cupcakes for my kiddos birthday party and they have such great options. Will keep going here forever- I am a loyal customer for the last 25 years (the one in Marin is so good too). read more

Pretty decent cupcakes in a bakery oddly located/hidden inside a neighborhood grocery store (CalMart). We continued on our SF cupcake crusade for the day and decided to try Sweet Things after trying Noe Valley Bakery cupcakes. Sweet Things offers a variety of cupcake choices (buttercups - vanilla w/chocolate buttercream frosting, pinkcaps - vanilla w/pink buttercream frosting, chocolate fudge, carrot cake, black & whites, lemon, etc) along with numerous other baked goods. The cake in the cupcakes was pretty good and moist, but the frosting was not smooth and creamy the way I like it. Instead the cupcake frosting was rather hard like the frosting on a supermarket birthday cake that you have to bite through. The carrot cake had cream cheese frosting so that was better. Cupcakes come in 2 sizes - regular and mini size so the minis are a great way to try different ones. Service was friendly as I explained it was my first time there and sought recommendations. The lady was very nice and gave me a small bite-sized sample of one of the cupcakes. Parking is metered parking on the street. I like the idea of a cool bakery in its own little store so being co-located in a supermarket took away some of the ambience. Bottom line: Pretty good cupcakes, but choose the ones that might have a cream cheese or softer frosting than the ones I had. If you are in this area, definitely worth a try. However, my SF cupcake favorite remains Noe Valley Bakery if you can make it over to that part of town. read more

Sweet Things, you're so sweet to my belly. I've come to Sweet Things on and off for over 6 years now (more often when my girlfriend worked in laurel village) and the two things I love are the burnt butter cookie sandwiches and the ice cream cookie. Both are quite unique and delicious. The ice cream cookie is one of my favorite cookies that I have had and is one of the reasons I make a stop at Sweet Things whenever I find myself in Laurel Village. Nothing like a quick stop for a cookie and then a brisk walk up to Pete's to finish off the best morning combo. read more

3.25 I had the red velvet cupcake as a gift for my birthday. The texture of the cake was good but the actual cake wasnt sweet at all. The frosting was overly sweet so I had to balance the ratio of cake and frosting as I ate it. The presentation was nice as there was a chocolate heart on top along with chocolate sprinkles. Bottonline: a decent cupcake bakery that I wouldn't mind coming back but wouldn't go crazy over. read more

2.5 stars I don't know why Sweet Things has such high ratings because their cupcakes aren't that special or tasty. They're the standard cupcakes you can find anywhere... in a grocery store. i tried the Pink Capped Buttercup (or whatever it is called). It tasted like a madeline cookie. I mean, it wasn't BAD, but it wasn't GOOD either. It was like any ordinary cupcake... I can probably bake something better. I also tried the Black and White. The frosting was way too hard, I couldn't even finish it and I LOVE frosting. Although, my friend loved the Red Velvet. I guess that's the flavor to get at Sweet Things because the others weren't that great. The presentation of the cupcakes was so-so. Kind of elementary to me. Sprinkles is still, hands down, the best cupcakery I've been to. Sorry Sweet Things for the not so sweet review. read more

I have picked up cupcakes, cookies, and other treats on several occasions and everything has been delicious so I hesitate in giving this review. However, I can't let tonight's bizarre experience go and feel compelled to write about it. After picking up a few things at Bryan's, I popped in for some mini cupcakes. The total was $6. I paid with a $20 bill. The cashier handed me back $1.35. I told her that I had given her $20. And she looked at me and said, "are you sure?" Then she opened her register and claimed to not see $20 and accused me of not giving her that amount. Then she said, "well, can I write down your name and number and I will let you know tonight if my register comes up over..." I was slightly confused and provided my info, thinking she'd give me my change. After giving my info she says, "Ok I'll call you later if I am over." And I told her that I wasn't leaving with without my change - I was super calm but PISSED. She again questioned me. I told her that I'd gotten $20 out from Bryans and showed her the money in my wallet- no $20 bill - and was about to pull the receipt from Bryan's. I was absolutely stunned. She then went to her register and seemed to struggle figuring out what she owed me back. I told her, "I gave you $20, it was $6 so you owe me $14." She's says, right, right. Then after she goes, "oh, it says right here on my register that I entered $20...sorry!" And not that I should have to add this, BUT I was coming from my professional job in the Financial District and dressed quite nicely so definitely didn't "look" like someone that is going to hustle the cupcake girl out of some $. Unbelievable. read more
