    Piece of white cake with buttercream frosting is out
    Martha H.

    We ordered our granddaughter's baptism cake and Kim did an amazing job! She's personable, talented and accessible in person, phone and email. The cake itself was so beautiful with the tastiest cake and over the top outstanding buttercream frosting. The bakery is comfortable and inviting with a large variety of delicious scones, muffins, cookies, danish. The coffee and tea menu is extensive too. We highly recommend Sweet Althea's and look forward to visiting soon!

    A super sweet lady made these cupcakes for me this morning and added the cute decoration. Everyone was so kind inside and they were stocked up on all sorts of yummy pastries that looked absolutely delicious! I had a good iced coffee and can't wait to go back and try the scones!

    Amazing coffee and breakfast sandwiches. Love sitting in for breakfast. Quick service.

    Delicious Graduation Cake by Sweet Althea's
    Mary M.

    I am so thrilled I found Sweet Althea's Bakery for my son's graduation party. With the assistance of Kim (who helped me when I called) I ordered a Tuxedo Cake. This cake consisted of a layer of vanilla, a layer of chocolate ganache and another layer of vanilla. The frosting was a delicious classic buttercream. I was told by my guests that it was "the best cake they have ever eaten". Great Success! Sweet Althea's is located at 542 Kingstown Rd, Wakefield, Rhode Island. 401-932-9473

    Our beautiful wedding cake (for our mini, 11-person ceremony). Decorated just like we had asked. Lovely!

    THE MOST DELICIOUS CAKE EVER!!! Sweet Althea's made our mini wedding extra special by creating the most beautiful and delicious cake. They even took the time to add our hand-cut flowers. Thank you Sweet Althea's!!

    Cozy yet very clean back nook

    As a baker I seek out genuine bakeries hopeful they will have hyper-delicious baked goods with genuine ingredients. Score 100% here. Scones, muffins, cupcakes, carrot and pound cake, cookies and bagels. Cakes to order. Just icing on the cake (!) that the women here are awesomely nice and cool. And Althea is not the owner's name! Bear cookies, relix mags, and some bears abound, including a Dead bear-shaped cookie! Cozy, friendly and clean. Oh and Dave's coffee AND they add the cream for you and don't make you go to one of those cheezy McDonald's-type condiment stand. 6 stars all the way!!

    Our 3-tier wedding cake, made to look like a single tier. Vanilla icing, chocolate cake, with salted caramel inside. Outrageously delish!

    After much consideration of the bakeries nearby our wedding venue, we scheduled 1 tasting a few weeks prior. All we knew was that we wanted a buttercake instead of fondant, since we prefer a delicious cake over a good looking one. Once we tried the signature flavor Kim recommended, it was a done deal. Didn't need to do any other tastings. Kim was very easy to communicate with via email & phone, she knew what we wanted and delivered beautifully. We needed a small cake for our intimate wedding (less than 30ppl). While looking through the books she had we loved this simple looking cake that was actually 2 or 3 tiers. I left the top decor to her since I wasn't sure whether I'd use the top I had prepared. Kim's touch with the branches on top looked perfect to match our simple and cute cake. They also had it delivered on time, as promised. The price was great, flavors amazing - we couldn't have been happier. It's been 6 months and we STILL get comliments and get asked where we got the amazing cake!

    I stopped in the other day to get some vegan cupcakes to bring to a dinner party. They had a large…read moreselection of flavors and the cupcakes all looked beautiful. The cupcakes tasted amazing, too! The cake part wasn't super-moist, so it held its shape and tasted great, but the frosting was the real star. The frosting on the lemon cupcake was intensely lemony, and the chocolate frosting was rich and smooth. I and the other non-vegans at the party couldn't tell that they were vegan, and our host was delighted to know that there is a bakery nearby that caters to her needs. I'll definitely be coming back to try the regular cupcakes soon!

    We ordered 4 dozen cupcakes for my grandfather's 80th birthday to be picked up this weekend, and…read morethe experience was far from stellar. We had family coming from all across the country, and had rented a boat, and were planning to pick up the cupcakes and bring them on board so we could celebrate on the ship. We were traveling from out of state and were planning to arrive a bit sooner than expected, so I called the shop and asked to pick them up an hour early. I was told this was not an option, as they would not be ready. Totally fine, I understand that change was last minute. We decided to stick with our original 2:00 pickup time. 15 minutes before the scheduled pickup time, I received a call stating that they were an hour behind. I told the owner that this would be an issue, given that our boat left at 3:00. She offered to do free delivery, which we accepted. I provided the address and reiterated that we were leaving at 3:00, so we would need them before that time. She said she would call me when she arrived. 3:00 came and went, and our boat set sail, with no cupcakes. At 4:15, I received a phone call saying "I'm here with the cupcakes. I hope you guys aren't on the boat that's leaving!" We had left over an hour before... I explained that we were in the middle of the water, and reiterated that I told her numerous times we were leaving at 3, to which she said "she didn't understand that." Not quite sure how I could have been more clear about that, but I digress. She asked what we wanted to do and offered a refund, which we accepted. Disappointed is an understatement. When someone is turning 80 years old, you don't know how many birthdays they have left, and you want to make it special for them. This whole experience definitely put a damper on the day.
