    Chocolate salted-caramel cake

    Hands-down, the best bakery cake I've had. I got the chocolate-salted caramel cake, and every bite was incredible. The staff was super friendly, and the shop was clean and cute. Will for sure be back!

    Sewell Sweets is a small spot on Liberty with seats for 4 and multiple, changed daily, small bites to regular size cookies, brownies, and cake parfaits. Come in ready to experiment. They don't have regular offerings but change flavors daily. They honor a sign up sheet to notify you when your favorite will be available for a day. Everything we sampled was flavor dense and filling after a few bites. Spoons are 1/2 teaspoon size and that might be too big. Our server was informed, patient and in good humor as we asked the same questions repeatedly. GREAT DATE SPOT!!! (If you like sweets)

    This sweet shop looks very unassuming, but don't let that fool you. The baby cake blew my mind! Every layer was as irresistible as the one previous. The macarons are not your ordinary flavors... I chose the champagne and tiramisu which were unforgettable. The shop keep welcomed me in with their warm and bubbly personality. I am a very indecisive person which can annoy most people, but their patience and kindness spanned my entire visit!

    I discovered this shop last summer and I will always pop in any time I'm downtown. The most amazing treats! Brownies are to die for. The presentation of the tarts and confections in the case makes you feel like a kid in a candy store. We recently ordered a cake for my daughter's birthday. It was so beautiful, I didn't want to cut it. The flavor was so good! Moist cake, sweet frosting & epic filling! Love! And I would be remiss if I didn't mention how friendly and attentive the Sewell's are. Very kindhearted people and excellent makers of sweet treats!

    My favorite sweet treat place in salem. the owners are so incredibly kind and the cakes/cookies/drinks are all so incredibly delicious. I highly recommend this place for an afternoon treat or dessert. They have coffee too!

    If you're looking for a truly unique dessert with great flavor, this is the right place. I came here on a whim whilst taking a walk through downtown Salem. My fiancee spotted it while we snacked at Bo & Vine and wanted to check it out for our upcoming wedding. As we walked by, the bearded gentleman at the counter gave an unexpected but friendly wave, so we just had to walk in. He provided us a sample of their brownie. It was light, decadent, and slightly crisp with a deep chocolate flavor that was accentuated by a little sea salt. 10/10. We then got to asking this man and his wife, the owners of the business, about wedding dessert options. They were incredibly patient and kind. Their cakes look amazing. All of the flowers on the cakes are sugar sculpted, apparently, which is even more astounding. They also said all of the smaller bites can be used to make a dessert bar. So we got to perusing the little displays. The mini cakes were $10, enough for at least 2 people to share. Because we'd yet to eat dinner, my eyes landed on the little dessert cups, which were $3.50. My fiancee and I shared the strawberry lemon one. It was sweet and lightly tangy. The jam was incredible, the cake was sweet, and the little bit of icing provided a touch of richness. We ended up fighting over the little cup. 11/10. We will be back.

    We got three items.  This little treat we split while I sipped my coffee.  Regrettably it is the only picture I took.

    Arrrgh! The food? FANTASTIC! No, seriously I'm old. Traveled some so I've had sweets, baked sweets on both coasts in the U.S., UK, Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland Hong Kong just to start. This is top tier. We had three items and a breve. Fantastic. The person behind the counters knows and loves their product. This place is really fantastic! I would rate it higher if there was a way to rate a place higher! Sorry about a lack of pictures...the other items did not survive the trip home...but were not wasted! If you like baked sweets do not miss Sewell Sweets. My wife, no slouch at baking, was the most impressed I've ever seen. Ambiance? Bright and cheerful. It was enjoyable to sit in the window and watch the world, okay, a small bit of Salem, wander by.

    This was my first time walking in and it smelled wonderful. I looked in the show case and chose a…read moregluten free triple berry bar I believe it was. It was enough to last me two days. I ate every last crumb... dangerous, but delicious! Will be back to try more gluten free options. Sorry no full pictures I ate it all before I thought to leave a review. -Victoria Hart

    This past weekend, I was maid of honor for a wedding on Saturday the 22nd…read more The bride ordered a $1000 wedding cake as well as gluten free, vegan cupcakes. First, months prior to the wedding, this bakery forgot about their cake tasting appointment, but we understand things happen and chose to move forward. On the 21st, on the day of wedding set up and the rehearsal dinner, the brides family went all the way up to Salem to pick up our order and had to wait an hour at the shop for them to finish the cupcakes. They were supposed to have dark forest green frosting, which was not what they produced for us but at that point we did not have time to have them remake them for us, as they weren't done on time in the first place. Now, for the main issue, this $1000, three tier wedding cake collapsed on itself by the time it was transported to the venue. It literally had a piece of cardboard or paper inside of the cake, was held together by short plastic drinking straws instead of wooden dowels, had dense frosting (not what we ordered), which is what contributed to it being ruined the day before the wedding. Apparently they did not write down that they wanted minimal frosting. Despite our efforts to fix it ourselves, it was unrepairable. We reached out to this bakery to explain all of this and request a refund, as the product was not what we had asked for, wasn't quality work, and the design was faulty and could not even survive being transported. They denied our request for a refund, even though we could not use this cake for the wedding day. We had to order a different one from another bakery which thankfully was able to deliver it to use and make us a beautiful cake, which saved the day. I will attach photos for reference. We are very disheartened by the customer service we received. They were very rude and said that we miscommunicated, and would not be refunding us. There was no miscommunication on our end, as we had detailed requests for what we wanted and inspiration photos for what we needed. This is absolutely not okay that this happened the day before a wedding, and on top of that, make no effort to rectify it with us by denying a refund and being disrespectful when we brought it to their attention. The bride and groom had already given them a chance and were understanding when they forgot their initial appointment. At this point, their conduct is unacceptable and should never happen to anyone else the night before their wedding day. Between forgetting appointments, not fully listening to instructions or writing things down, and then blaming us for their negligence, I have no choice but to leave this review.
