Went here after andretti and lsa burger. Loved supporting a local black owned business. The young girl that was working was super nice and had suggestions for us that had not been there which was two of the three of us. We ended up getting the coconut and the strawberry lemonade cakes. The strawberry lemonade We would rate 4 out of 10. The flavoring was good. The lemon needed a little more sourness. The overwhelming sweetness was the main factor for the rating. It tastes like fruit loops with extra sugar. We would not buy this flavor again. The coconut We would rate 9.5 out of 10. The only issue was again the sweetness. It could have gone down by like 25% and been perfect. Would buy again for sure. Overall if we're in the area again we would try other flavors. read more

Nice variety of options but most of them were very bland and basic in flavor. I was very excited for the lemon blueberry and the strawberry cream cupcakes. I could hardly taste the lemon or the strawberry. It was like both flavors needed that extra oomph. My favorite was the Amaretto cupcake it was just a tad bit too salty!! Also would have appreciated maybe a lemon buttercream or strawberry buttercream instead of cream cheese frosting I feel like adding the fruit flavored buttercream on top of the fruit cupcake would have helped find that fruit flavor. read more

The cake i got for my sisters birthday celebration was a last minute order. It was a delicious cake but kinda pricey! They did write on it very last minute so i appreciated that! They were have issues with the AC on the day i picked up the cake so they weren't technically open to the public, but i placed an order on the phone so i was still able to pick up. This was a convenient location to where my husband could drop me off and i walked over. The staff that was on site when i arrived weren't very energetic about me being there but the person i spoke to on the phone was kind and sounding happy thankful for my order. read more

Julie’s Sweets Bakery - Wedding cake....Vanilla with almond extract. - Bakeries Near Me - The Colony, Texas

If you're ever in Grandscape in The Colony make sure you stop by to show this black owned cake business some love. It's tucked near an open area near Schell's and is not hard to find. The dainty pink and green logo is not hard to find and easy to spot. As soon as we walked in we were immediately greeted. As a first timer there, there was no rush to order. While there weren't many flavors to choose from there were good flavors. I ended up grabbing the pina colada and the last piece of strawberry. The other flavors included a strawberry champagne, German chocolate and wedding cake, to name a few. I was hoping to see lemon but there were none. I'm not sure if that was an option or if she had run out (again I grabbed the last piece of strawberry). Cake: the cake was really moist and super sweet. I had super high hopes for the pina colada. It was my least favorite. It gave me wedding cake vibes with a touch of pineapple. That strawberry though...that was a good slice of cake. I haven't had a slice of strawberry cake that actually tasted like strawberries in a while! That was my favorite for sure! Overall...I'd go back to try the other flavors for sure! After a long active afternoon it was a good treat to retire the night to! read more

We'd heard such good things... We're clearly in the minority, but we were disappointed. We came late during the week and the selections were slim. And the cakes we purchased were a little dried out. The frosting on both the lemon/blueberry and the strawberry were just too sweet for our taste. And by the time we arrived home (25 min), the frosting on the strawberry cake was sliding off. And it wasn't a hot day. If we're in the area again, we might try the German chocolate. read more

Adventures at Grandscape: I visited GS to pick up an item from another store. As I was weaving through the cluster of shops near the main stage, I lucked upon my sweet for the evening: Strawberry cake. The icing was placed just right - not that thick melty layer that can overwhelm the cake, but rather that nice layer that allows you to enjoy the cake. The crumb on the cake was moist and honestly - just a lot of fun to eat. Strawberries are one of my favorite fruits and it shines through this cake. (Next up will be the lemon cake or lemon pound cake). The store greets you with several cakes plus some keto options and some other types (I saw brownies!) Note: Hit the group of stores to the right of the Main Stage. Scheels will be on the left of the stage so you can't miss the group of stores/bars/retail. If its busy at Grandscapes, try parking in front of Scheels and walking outside on the left side of the store. read more

Stopped by with my friend after visiting the Dallas Silk Art shop across from Julie's Sweets Bakery. I got a slice of coconut cake and wedding cake to go. OMG! Some of the best cake I've ever had. The cake was moist and the icing perfect. I wish I had bought a whole cake because my slice was gone before I could finish this post! read more

The owner is the sweetest lady ever and her cakes are so moist and delicious!! The lemon blueberry cake is seriously the best I've ever had. I feel no shame in this cake breaking my diet read more

We wrapped up dinner at another local restaurant and decided we wanted something sweet. So after a quick Yelp search, we found Julie's Sweets Bakery and had to give it a try! It's a little hard to find, but once we found it, we were welcomed with great service from the owner and her son. LOVED being able to patronize a black owned business in Frisco! After staring at the display for a bit, we decided to splurge ($6/slice) and get 4 slices to try at home. The flavors were really good, the icing was PHENOMENAL, but the cake density threw us a little off. It's not super moist or airy, which is what we typically prefer. Flavor: 4/5 Icing: 5/5 Cake: 3/5 We did go about 30 minutes before closing, so not sure if that had anything to do with it or not. Either way, I'm definitely planning on going back and giving the slice of cake another try and/or trying something else because it all looked delicious! read more

Really good homemade desserts. I would recommend the chocolate cake, it was my absolute favorite. The strawberry cake and lemon blueberry were also very good and rich in flavor. Planning your return for my favorite German Chocolate cake. Great customer service and lots of variety. I would recommend. read more

Julie was very kind, the cake was so delicious and I loved hearing about her cakes. Went there for the first time and the service was a 10/10! I even got to watch her decorate a cake while she talked to us about her bakery. read more

Glad I could try this place out. My friend brought me a slice of strawberry cake. It was soooo good! Sweet, moist and subtle on the palette. The icing on the cake is that the owner is a fellow Southern Alumni. I highly recommend and will definitely check out! I love supporting black business!! read more

First time here and LAST time . I was greeted with a frustration. The lady seemed bothered that I there. No hello, no thank you, no have a good day. You can't run a business with that attitude. You need clients to make your business successful and therefore you can't be rude when they show up. read more

Found this place by chance today so gave it a try. Pricing seems what you'd expect for this location. The area in the shop between the door and the counter is quite small, especially if you have more than one group of customers there who are choosing slices and walking along long counter to do that (which we did, too). I had a slice of red velvet cake and ate it about three hours after purchase. The texture was more stiff than the other photos of red velvet cake from two and four years ago here on Yelp. Those photos show the lovely moist and velvety texture but my slice was rather dry. You could cut a sharp line down the sponge and it held the cut at 90 degrees! The frosting tasted more sweet than cream cheese type flavor to me. I think perhaps I just chose badly. There was a good variety of cake flavors. The hummingbird cake looked more moist so I'll maybe try that next time if I'm in the store again. read more

Ok this cake is fire!!! We tried last Thursday after a concert at the lawn on the fly as we saw the sign ... we ordered a slice of the lemon, hummingbird and chocolate. Cake was like grannies cake! I mean this in the best way possible ... moist, thick, very flavorful ... you need some milk to go with it, but it was bussin'. Lemon was my favorite followed by hummingbird. We will be pack and I would support and order a whole cake from them on an upcoming celebration! read more

Picked up a hummingbird cake for Father's Day and it was delicious! Love to support a small, minority owned business and I really enjoyed seeing the owner and her kids working there. Everyone was super sweet and patient with their explanations of the cake varieties. read more

What a nice bakery! The customer service is great! We went right before closing and got the hummingbird cake. The slice was amazing! read more

If you cringe at the word moist, then you will cringe at my review. I love wet and moist cake and how it melts in your mouth as your eyes roll back in delight (I promise I don't read or write erotica). I ordered two slices, each priced at $6.99. A little expensive for one slice, but I used a Groupon so it made it much more affordable. The two cake slices I bought were: - Hummingbird: banana nut flavor cake with a white icing. - Butter Golden with Chocolate Icing: yellow cake with chocolate icing The icing itself was fluffy and full of flavor. However, the cakes looked a little dry. And not surprisingly, they tasted a bit dry. Overall, I felt as if the cakes were satisfying but not out of the world amazing or the best I've had. Maybe it was the batch I received. I would potentially come back to try other cakes and desserts again if I am in the area. read more

After go karting my daughter and I wanted something sweet and decided to try this place and glad we did, we ordered the red velvet, Italian creme, pound cake, and one that taste like banana nut bread because we couldn't make up our minds. Great customer service and thank you for your patience. Omg all these slices of cakes are yummy to my tummyqz. read more

We went there this afternoon. The hummingbird was delicious. Just keep in mind that a piece is huge. It felt like three servings. The sugar is a lot, which is expected for cakes. If you have been watching what you eat, I suggest taking off most or all the frosting if you can resist. It would have been safer if all employees were wearing masks within the limitless store's space, being that we're in a raging pandemic. They were both very nice and welcoming. read more

We had high hopes for this place! Tried after dinner at PF Chang's. We got the hummingbird cake slice. Although the cake looked great, it was dry and hard. The only enjoyable part was the frosting. However, we had to toss the cake as it was not able to be eaten. read more

HANDS DOWN THE BEST CAKE IN THE DFW! I ventured into this place while visiting Scheels and everyone knows a sweet-tooth will find sweets. I walked in and was greeted by a warm personality...Yolanda (the owner) it is great to see Black Owned establishments especially in this up and coming area. I challenged her cake vs. my Moms and after several bites... *whispers* "I declare Yolanda the VICTOR!". She asked what I liked and I informed her pineapples, luckily they had something called a "Hummingbird Cake" BRUUUUUUUUUUUUH!!!! This cake was so good. I've since been back twice and since use this place as a cheat meal. I direct ALL my friends, family and business partners to try this place out. It's good to know that I don't have to travel all the way downtown to the "Cake Bar" to get a good slice of cake. My only recommendation = add delivery (UberEats, Favor, etc.) Your cakes will FLY off the counter! = PROFIT @Yolanda, I know I couldn't do a cake for my birthday party due to COVID, but we will place an order for my Marathon celebration after-party :-) Ordered slices: - Hummingbird - Key Lime - Butter Golden w/ Chocolate icing - Red Velvet - Strawberry read more

Really upset about this place, the cake was good and my family enjoyed it. However, myself, my husband and two infant daughters received the worst customer service. No initial greeting and very little interaction, meanwhile the hostess was cordial with other customers. Owner's son was polite and inviting but his mother was extremely rude. I will continue to spend my money with Nothing Bundt Cakes. I would love to support black business but this is NOT IT. read more

I should probably preface this review by making it known that my mom and sister are ELITE bakers, so growing up eating their desserts and fresh breads, has likely made me an unfairly tough critic, in that regard. ANYWAY, on a whim, I decided to give this place a shot! This is my first time coming to the Grandscape shopping center, so the bakery itself was a bit difficult to find, but eventually, I found my way in! I decided to get a piece of Coconut Cake, Strawberry Cake, and Red Velvet Cake. The coconut piece was a bit dry but the flavors were great! Strawberry cake was a bit underwhelming for me. While I don't doubt that it was homemade, it kind of had that typical box cake strawberry flavor, if that makes sense. So that was a bit disappointing, as I would've loved to taste some fresh strawberries in the cake. The good news is, my boyfriend loved his red velvet cake! Anyway, all in all, it was a good experience, not great, but still good. I wouldn't mind coming back to support and try other flavors again! read more

All the cakes look amazing, so we had to try them. We bought 3 slices, and I had and loved the coconut cake slice. Fresh and not overly sweetened, my daughter tried the chocolate she loved it and said very moist. My husband isnt sharing (rude) and will eat it later (bah hum bug!) Highly recommend this bakery for a quick treat or event. read more

My family and I went here today on a Saturday, there was no other customer but us. We didn't get a greeting, not even a smile. We got strawberry and chocolate slices of cake. $7 a freakin slice. They were dry, cold, and flavorless. Worst cakes I've ever tried. DONT COME HERE AND SAVE YOUR MONEY read more

My wife and I stopped in because we had a sweet tooth. We purchased two slices of cake , a chocolate one and the red velvet which were placed up front in containers. It was about 7:00 pm. Once we got home we tasted them and was disappointed. We expected them to be fresher and more moist . Gonna give them one more try. read more

Ordered a tres leches cake that was frozen and not for immediate consume (which the owner could've mentioned or offered to heat it up)! Customer service was not decent. read more

Ran across this barkery when exploring Grandscapes. I love cookies and had to walk in and look around. Small bakery with the fresh goods out to see. I ordered a pair of chocolate chip cookies for my wife and I to snack on while we walked around. First the service was great. It was like walking into my family farms kitchen and the smell of sweets was intoxicating and I was greeted with the smile. I asked if the cookies were good and I was told they are the best chocolate cookies ever. The baker turns around as she's working on a cake and tell me that "He eats a dozen right when he gets home from college." He (the cashier) was her son! I was like hell yeah i want two cookies because i can always back a Mom's bakery where her son works and helps when home from school! Reminds me of my childhood. No to the cookie....Damn it was good. It is a 9.5/10. There is a special taste to it I couldn't put my finger on. I think it's the love passion and family you taste. Support small business! I'll be back for sure! read more

I live out of town so I ordered a birthday cake to be delivered to my niece who lives in The Colony. Cake was delivered exactly as planned. The cake was beautiful and delicious. I would recommend Julie's Sweets Bakery. They did a great job with the cake I ordered. read more

I've had better cake. These cake tastes like something you make from using a box cake. Furthermore, spoke to a lady over the phone the day before to order a vanilla slice of cake and said it would be ready the next day. We go up there and the vanilla cake was not even made.. only 5 cakes to pick from. It seems like the business isn't very organized. Also, I think the strawberry cake made my stomach hurt. read more

This is a gem of a place!! German chocolate cake and strawberry cake was spectacular. It reminded me of my mommas back in the 60's. We also got a giant chocolate chip cookie for a birthday. I will use them over and over again. read more

We stumbled upon this bakery while in the Grandscape. Tried a couple of slices. They were absolutely delicious. Ordered a cake for my son's 14th birthday and it was excellent! Fantastic service. Would highly recommend Julie's Sweets Bakery! We will be back! read more

Wonderful environment and even better cake. I got the Strawberry cake and a chocolate chip cookie.

Amazing cake, told that she bakes them in the shop. Cakes are very moist, very fresh and very, very good. I had German chocolate and my wife had lemon. Both were amazing. read more

Let me say, the workers are super sweet so it makes this review hard. The place smells divine but the cakes were a MAJOR let down. I got the Italian creme, the hubs got the carrot and our son the chocolate, all are soooo dry, tasted like it was made 3 days ago. I mean for 20 bucks expected it much better results. Sadly won't be back read more

Dry, dry, dry. The marble cake we got was very dry. The chocolate icing in the cake was very gritty. Ughhh.

Tonight is my Mother's 70th birthday. After saying she didn't want anything special, she changed her mind. I walked into Julie's Sweets at 5:30pm to see if they could accommodate me purchasing a whole cake. They were so helpful and made my mother a DELICIOUS Italian Cream cake. Thank you so much for saving me! read more
