Mesha's Sinful Cakes has become something of a sweet Friday tradition in Orangeburg -- and after…read moretwo visits to the food truck (plus one trip to the Columbia storefront), it's easy to understand why people line up early. The first time I visited the truck, I was greeted by a friendly young man who clearly believed in what he was serving. I left with banana pudding, an Oreo cheesecake, and a turtle cheesecake -- and honestly, "sinful" is the right word. The cake itself is fluffy, rich, and packed with flavor, and the cheesecake? Truly some of the best I've ever had. The young man confidently told me it would be, and he wasn't exaggerating. My second visit to the food truck was just as pleasant. This time, a warm and welcoming young lady was running things. I arrived around 5 p.m., only to find that most items were already sold out -- a testament to how popular these desserts have become. Luckily, I managed to grab a blue velvet cheesecake, and it did not disappoint. Smooth, decadent, and perfectly balanced, it was worth the trip even with the limited selection. Wanting to experience more, I visited the brick-and-mortar location in Columbia off Two Notch Road this past Saturday. The desserts were just as delicious -- the quality and flavor remain consistent no matter the location. However, the customer service didn't match the charm of the food truck experience. While the cakes are still absolutely worth indulging in, the food truck brings something extra -- better hospitality, more personality, and a community feel that makes the experience sweeter. With prices being the same at both locations, I'll gladly return to the Orangeburg truck... just earlier next time, when the selection is still full.

The staff were very friendly and easy to talk to, and I really appreciated how careful they were about peanut allergies when going over the menu. I ordered an Oreo cookie sandwich with Oreo ice cream in the middle and Oreo crumbles as a topping, and it was so good! The ice cream was super creamy, and the cookie was warm, heat-pressed, and delicious. This place completely exceeded my expectations. I'll definitely be coming back, and if you're anywhere near here, you should 100% check it out--it's phenomenal!

The shop is cozy small, the decor was really cute. They did have a few seats for guest to enjoy. I had the pumpkin and buttercreme waffle cone. The portion size was good for the price. For me the flavor was just ok, I was expecting it to be a bit sweeter. The flavor was off for me. I would give them another try. I love supporting local places.
