It was my first time coming in, and the environment was very welcoming. I was greeted right away and told to take my time browsing. I was unsure of what I wanted since everything looked amazing. I ended up choosing two cupcakes (key lime and strawberry milkshake), a cinnamon roll, and 2 chocolate croissants. Upon checkout, the total came out to around $24, which is an amazing price considering the treats I grabbed. The gentleman at the counter was the sweetest and even gave my son a free cookie (which he loved and would not share easily, lol). Overall, the experience was half the reason I love this place. Then I tried the baked goods. AMAZING!!!!! I could not stop raving to everyone about how good they are. If you are interested in giving this place a try, do not hesitate. From the customer service to the delicious treats, this gets a 10/10 from me!!!! Worth every penny and I will be coming back! read more

This place is absolutely stunning. The only reason for four stars is there are no prices posted on anything anywhere!! So, you have to order and take what you get or ask the prices of each and every single thing?? I asked for a menu and he said they don't print them? How do people order or get catering? Consequently, we tried one of several things and found them tasty but 1/2 of what we got was not over the top delicious. DELICIOUS WERE: the cinnamon roll, nutter butter cookie, and the cream puff, which were all outstanding!! $20.76 bill a little pricey. read more

There's indoor and outdoor seating if you wanna just relax and truly enjoy what you're eating. Please check this place out! You won't be disappointed. read more

I needed a few bakery items to be delivered locally in a pinch, after a failed attempt with another business. Life is Sweet Bakery stepped up and made it happen! Our customer will be thrilled with their delivery! read more

I walked in to pick up an already paid for birthday cake. The man (I'm guessing owner) was sitting down on his phone, looked up and went behind the counter. Didn't wash his hands. Didn't say a word. I said "Hi, I'm here to pick up a birthday cake under the name......" He shuffled thru a bunch of cake orders and then brought out this huge cake box that I knew wasn't mine and removed the top to show me the cake. I looked at it and said "no, that's not mine." He picked up an invoice and showed it to me and I said that wasn't my name. I told him my name again and the size of the cake and color and details. He shuffled the invoices again and grabbed the big cake box and proceeded to go in the back for the correct cake. Upon walking away, he accidentally stumbled with that cake, causing to either fall completely to the ground or hit the side of the case. I couldn't see because it was out of my vantage point but I heard him mumbling something under his breath. He came back with my cake and I saw it was correct and said thank you. He turned around, walked away and disappeared. He said not ONE word during the whole transaction. The next time I need a birthday cake or any pastry for that matter, I will absolutely drive out of my way to go to another bakery. At "Life is Sweet Bakery," they are fresh out of courtesy, professionalism and apparently words. read more

Great service and lots of gluten free options! Everything was delicious on both ends of the counter

First of all, I'm gluten free and there's not one, but 2 cases of gluten free baked goods. Second of all, they are DELICIOUS. Third of all, I basically got a sampling of everything for under $30. Finally, the customer service was impeccable. 10/10 recommend stopping in. read more

Best Tiramisu I have ever had. Small shop with great desserts. They have fresh baked breads.

I highly recommend life is sweet bakery; Fresh ingredients, with a friendly smile.sticky buns and cinnamon rolls were delicious!

This bakery is amazing! When you walk in, you know it is special. The cupcakes are enormous, their "nutter butter" cookies are delicious - and their muffins are incredible! Find the bakery and make the trip. It is worth it. I am from Massachusetts and went to some other local bakeries for my family. This one does not even compare. It is the best!!! read more

I was looking for a bakery to get some breakfast. I took the advice of others and got the cinnamon rolls. They were very good ! Also very sweet, so keep that in mind when ordering them. I found $3 a roll to be pretty pricey and a lack of other options. 3.50 a muffin. No specials on a half dozen or dozen items. read more

Life is Sweet Bakery - Cinnamon rolls - Bakeries Near Me - Little River, South Carolina

I've been buying about 4 cakes a year from this bakery for the last several years. Over the last several weeks I went in to get a cinnamon roll as a treat --3 times --as comfort food. Seems they have rules that you can't pick the roll you want to buy--. I was scolded the first time and again this last time in. Why am I getting scolded over a cinnamon roll? The second time I didn't get scolded, but it was just uncomfortable when I selected the one I wanted. Seems you should be able to purchase the item you want to purchase. Maybe this is normal bakery rules who knows-- AND really, not a big deal--it's a silly cinnamon roll, but when you're buying a treat to make yourself feel a little better due to hard times you really don't need someone giving you grief --so, I'm not going back or buying any more cakes from this place; may be a blessing as sugar is not good for you anyway. read more

Recently I've been on a bakery kick in the greater Myrtle Beach area and of those I've tried so far, Life is Sweet Bakery is at the bottom, though it does have a couple of redeeming elements. I'll get to those at the end of my review. No idea how the other customers arrived at five star ratings for this bakery, but hey, that's what Yelp is for...everyone's got an opinion, though in the Myrtle area, A LOT of tourists and transplants are clueless about what constitutes a good spot. I can't tell you how many have said that this place or that place has great pizza, only to check it out and be greatly disappointed. Tourist idiocracy aside, the two primary things I didn't like about this bakery were what I considered to be a relatively small selection of items overall, especially for a Saturday morning visit, and secondly, a lack of value in my purchases. They just didn't have that much to choose from here (Lowe's Foods has at least double the flavor choices of muffins for example)...it seems like they are more about making cakes/cupcakes for call ahead orders than they are for making items for the display case for walk in customers. Bummer. I'm usually a walk-in bakery, a buy with my eyes kinda dude. Most of their display items didn't wow my eyes at all. And this is definitely not a French bakery if that's what you're hoping for. The two items I purchased (a raspberry cheesecake square with chocolate chips on top, and a raspberry muffin---both gluten free), tasted fine; nothing wrong with the taste...they were just very, very small and were far from memorable. If you're going to charge me 2.50 plus tax for a tiny muffin, it better be the best dang muffin within at least an hours drive, and girlfrand, it definitely ain't that. Maybe 10 minutes down the road in North Myrtle you'll find Crumb Buns Bakery, where the muffins are ginormous and have so very much explosive flavor, I'll guarantee you'll be hooked. Try their orange cranberry and thank me later! Oh, and their muffins are literally at least 2x the size, maybe 3x, and they'll run you only $1.99 per. For those in the know, no doubt they just drive on over to Crumb Buns Bakery. The raspberry cheesecake square here at Life is Sweet was better than the muffin, but again, just way, way overpriced for its size and didn't wow me in it's flavor at all. Positives: cool name for their business, friendly service, plenty of safe parking out front, ample seating indoors, and WiFi is free (just like 'merica!). read more

Stopped by on Christmas Eve to fulfill a craving for cinnamon rolls. Yelp pointed me towards Life is Sweet Bakery, a little shop I'd overlooked on Highway 17 after many years of visiting this area. The shop has a great selection of cakes, cookies, quiche, danish and more. The cinnamon roll was very large, delectably sweet, and had the perfect amount of frosting. I will definitely be back in the future to try other items. read more

I'm all about bakeries, so wanted to stop here when we were in town. There were cookies, muffins, danishes and cupcakes in the cases when I arrived. Chose a chocolate iced yellow cupcake, lemon cupcake and a raspberry danish. The bill was $12+, a bit pricey for three items, but no prices posted should have been a warning. The Danish was okay, needed more fruit. The lemon cupcake is filled with lemon curd. Overall not bad, but the cupcake was dry. The other cupcake is majorly dry. Disappointing. read more

They did the cake and cupcakes for my wedding. I just gave them some flavor choices and the general theme. We could not have been more pleased with the presentation and the guests raved about the cake/cupcakes. HIGHLY recommend!!! read more

My wife stopped by the first time and brought back an assortment. Ya'll...this is the best stuff ever. The sticky bun was like a cinnamon bun with a praline on top.

Very delicious! The cinnamon rolls were quite tasty, as well as the sticky pecan roll. I also tried an assortment of cookies that were very tasty as well. The husband and wife pair that own the bakery are also very nice and helpful. Can't wait to go back! read more

I bought two muffins. They were large but expensive. $8.82 for both. Took them home. As soon as I cut them in pieces, I new disappointment was near. They were both dry, dry , dry. So I warmed them up fora few seconds in the microwave. No improvement. Really a shame. We're new to the area and been looking for a bakery. Life is Sweet bakery is clean, well lit and the clerk was pleasant. The muffins should have been better. read more

I ordered a hummingbird cake that was moist and very delicious and decorated beautifully. Everyone loved it. KUDOS.

This little gem is right off 17 and to my surprise they had gluten free desserts that will make your mouth water! I got the cheesecake brownie and chocolate chip muffin. The lady who helped us was so delightful she was very understanding of my gluten needs and was able to help me make some good choices. She even said they do cakes made to order so I can get what I want! Look forward to coming back to this place again soon! If you want some good treats stop by and check it out you won't be disappointed read more

I actually have never eaten here, but was visiting a friend from out of state, and wanted to bring a cake.I didn't want to go to the supermarket, I prefer to support small businesses. I also wanted a special item to bring to my friends house. I went in and saw a lovely cake coffee cake with raspberry almond filling, my absolute favorite kind of cake. I was then told they only sell by the slice, not the whole cake. I asked them how many slices in the cake, she said 8, and the price was $4.50 per slice. Now,I'm from NY, and $40. For a cake is a higher priced cake, but as I previously stated, I wanted something special. I said ok I'll take all 8 slices. The girl said she had to check with her boss, to see if she could sell it that way. Huh?? I couldn't believe my ears! She then went in the back for a whole, and finally someone else came to help us.I told them to tell her to forget the cake. I was very disappointed, and ended up going to Lowe's Market and got some very average cakes. Not a good way to sell products read more

Life is Sweet Bakery - Best cinnamon bun!! - Bakeries Near Me - Little River, South Carolina

Definitely the best bakery around! (And honestly the best one I've ever been too - and I've been to many!) My family and I had a usual place around here but decided to check this out today. I'm so glad we did. We will not go anywhere else. The cake was a fantastic price, and the recipe was perfection. Great consistency, the icing was creamy and perfectly sweet, and there was a lovely crunch on top (lemon buttercream cake)- to sum it up; fresh and delicious! You won't regret coming here. read more

What a place. Great desserts, friendly people! I highly recommend. Don't forget the cinnamon buns. Wow.

great loved it good ambiance and great pastry. I recommend this to anyone passing through the little river area.

WOW..Finally found an actual bakery with delectable delights! Muffins, Danish, cakes, and cookies. Even a wide selection of gluten free pastries. The white chocolate rasberry muffins and the custard with whole raspberries flakey Danish were out of this world. This will be our regular stop on the way to North Myrtle Beach from Wilmington. read more

They have everything you can think of for a bakery and more. We walked in on the Fourth of July and they were open until 3pm. We got some cinnamon rolls and a gluten free cheesecake bar. I can't say enough about the cinnamon rolls. They are so delicious. They had many more treats that were on display and they had ice cream too. We will plan to go back for more, maybe some ice cream. I would definitely recommend. read more
