The 6" cake for $70.79 bucks
Aaron M.

I found Sweet Cheats while searching online for the "best chocolate cake in Atlanta". While ordering online I learned that anything written on the cake cost an additional $10 and icing flowers were an extra $20. I purchased a 6" plain chocolate cake with a "happy birthday" message that advised would serve 10-12 people for $70.79. In my opinion, there was nothing special about the look or the taste of the cake that set them apart from any other cake shop or grocery store bakery. There were no embellishments or anything else to it to justify the price for such a small cake, so I feel their name is appropriate...Sweet CHEATS.

Assortment  Half Dozen cupcakes
Chardae B.

Ahhhmazing!!! Cute bakery tucked away in a nice part of town. I came here to seek options for my baby shower cake. This place had great options and the cupcakes i purchased to sample had unique names. upon walking in I was greeted and given options. I selected 6 cupcakes and advised on how to order once i make my selection. Very good customer service and friendly welcome. I would go back to this place and recommend them for your bakery needs. They also serve coffee.

Super cute walk up shop. I was in charge of dessert for a get together, and their cupcakes did not let me down. I ordered 6 cupcakes (and a coffee to go) from the paper menu they had available while also peeking at the display behind the service attendant. The group really enjoyed them and mentioned they'd go try them out again. My only gripe: I really wish the cupcake display was all the front of the stand. I wanted to pick cupcakes based on how cute they looked and it was difficult to see them. It seems they've closed to store off. Hopefully they open back up soon. Also they do cakes too. I saw a family picking up a beautiful graduation cake. (I ended up writing the ingredients on sticky notes, because there was no way I was going to be able to remember. It would have been nice to have something identifying them inside the box. )

Chocolate cake pop
Bailey B.

One of my best girls gave me a couple of cake pops from Sweet Cheats when she came into town from Atlanta. They were yummy! Can't comment on service or atmosphere, but friend tells me this is her favorite bakery in the neighborhood. The cake pops were beautifully decorated, with swirls of chocolate and spatters of color. The inside cake was moist and very chocolate-y. The chocolate coating wasn't waxy or any of the usual problems you encounter with that kinda stuff, either, so that was great! I look forward to stopping by when I go to visit in the future! I love single serving desserts and these were really solid. :)

Ham and Swiss breakfast sandwich on spicy jalapeño cheddar bagel!
Nina A.

Definitely coming back! We got the build your own breakfast sandwiches on the spicy jalapeno cheddar bagels. Delicious! We had one ham and Swiss, and one bacon and cheddar--both great but highly recommend the ham and Swiss! Our favorite thing about the bagels was the quality of the bread. Just. Wow. The bagels are made right at sweet cheats and you can tell! We also snagged a cortado and a smores cappuccino--both delicious and espresso forward.

Thank you so much for the beautiful cake. Everyone loved it. The family raved on how delicious the strawberry buttercream cake was. Plus the color contrast was a pleasant surprised. Thank you for making this occasion a special one.

Custom red velvet birthday cake for daughter-pre-order
Janet W.

This is a bakery with walk-up service near Cabbagetown Park and Krog Street. They make custom cakes, including wedding cakes. My husband ordered a Red Velvet cake for my daughter's birthday in advance. My son tried the Red Velvet Cake Pop which he recommends! It was quiet on early Saturday morning and I saw they serve coffees which I did not try. The cakes are so beautifully decorated, definitely worthwhile to plan in advance for a special occasion! Parking was street parking which was plentiful by the park on around 9:30 am on a Saturday.

This was my birthday cake. Flawless

Sweet Cheats has never disappointed me when it comes to special occasions. Shirley Hughes' designs are not only spectacular but affordable.

Burned cake
Destinee D.

Unfortunately, I am having to resort to review forums to get my point across about a recent experience I had with this bakery-- Recently ordered a cake for my bridal shower from this bakery & when we cut the cake at home, we realized it was extremely burned. We cut the cake in half to see if the entire cake was inedible or if it was just one area since we saw a thick brown layer (burned) throughout the cake. We have ate at numerous bakeries throughout Atlanta and assumed that our event planner could reach out to the bakery to rectify the situation. My event planner reached out to the bakery and they responded that the brown area was carmelized and informed us it was not burned, and since we ate half of the cake- they would only offer 6 cupcakes to make amends. The customer is always right and the image we sent was after we sliced it in half- assumptions are never a good choice when in customer service. The cake was NOT EDIBLE. We through the cake away and declined the inattentive offering of cupcakes from the bakery. This situation could have been easily rectified had they merely taken fault and asked how to make it better. It's an unfortunate experience and I am sharing to prevent anyone else from dealing with a company who delivers burned cakes to such special events and responds with such a poor attitude. Do better Sweet Cheats! Fix the attitude and be attentive to you customers.

Bummer. Nothing like the anticipation for a delicious treat to satiate those sweet tooth cravings, only to be let down. My friend and I came here on a whim, after meeting the owner at one of the restaurants we ate at, and she insisted her cake pops were on another level than Starbucks. (If you haven't had a cake pop from Starbucks, you need to try them) I was sufficiently full from dinner, but hey, there's always room for dessert. While we were down that way, I decided we must stop here and try some dessert. Small, quaint shop with sweets and drinks. Funny, the owner was telling me she does bodybuilding competitions, and sure enough, I saw some trophies in there. Yet she owns a dessert shop. My kind of girl. There's lots to catch your attention like brownies, cupcakes, cheesecakes, and of course cake pops. I got two different kinds of pops, and sadly, can't remember one of them, but the darker one was Nutella. I think the other was either creme brulee or birthday cake? Either way, it was unmemorable. It really wasn't all that moist, and didn't have great flavor or richness. My friend got some red velvet cheesecake, and I tried a bite, but it was dry and not super creamy. I am glad this place was just right down the street from where we ate, because I wouldn't go out of my way to come here again. Maybe we hit it too close to closing time, so it wasn't super fresh? Just not sure, but I'll stick with Starbucks next time when I need a cake pop fix.

Both cakes were delicious and I'm ordering again this year. And hopefully next year for a  sweet sixteen. I love this place.

Best cake pops and cakes on the planet. And that's a fact. Also, I've been so impressed with the cake pops , decided that this place has the best Hand down cakes too . I have been ordering my Birthday cakes from them and them only no matter what design they always get it get it to the T.

This shop is right off a busy road expect to drive around to find parking if their small lot is…read morefull . There's parking on a. Side street beside it and on the main road that's parallel. They have a roaster in the back of their building so lots of in house coffee beans to buy. They also have a merch shop in the sitting area baked goods available as well. I got a dirty chai with their vanilla bourbon syrup iced it was pretty good. If I'm in the area walking again, I probably will stop by. It's a cute area to sit at too, so it'll be a great place to hang out and have a business meeting or just a catch up with a friend.

TL;DR: If you like dark roast, this is your place. If not, skip it…read more One thing about the ambiance: reviews are mentioning how cute and hipster this spot is, but practically all of the ambiance in the cafe can be seen in the photos I've attached. There's a record player, and one shelf of coffee beans that the cafe is selling. It's hard to know what the vibe is because the space is just so sparse, with even the "chrome yellow" shade in the name of the cafe nowhere to be seen. There are plenty of folks who come here to work, but I wouldn't recommend working here because the wifi is given out via temporary codes with a 2hr time limit (photo attached) and the tables are on the small side. Reviews tend to mention the quality of the drinks, and the drinks are good... but not my preference. The matcha leans on the sweet side, and the coffee tends to taste like a very dark roast. In terms of food, the only food is overnight oats with dried berries that comes out to almost $10. Overall, would not recommend unless you're a coffee connoisseur looking to try different roasts around the city.

It's nice to see a busy coffee spot that's been here for a solid 10+ years still look brand new!…read moreIt's probably one of the prettiest cafes I've been to in quite some time. The interior (and exterior) is clean and well-maintained. The bathroom was spotless. I believe this shop is an offshoot of the Kaldi's brand. The line can get pretty long but the two baristas working on this day were strong and able to get people in and out. Service was efficient and friendly, but they do show warmer interactions with people who are clearly regulars. Can't be mad at it. I got a strawberry matcha latte and a bacon/egg/cheese which apparently comes on a bagel and isn't customizable at all. Matcha was good -- typical more than anything. The sandwich was pre-made slop. Fake egg, limp bacon, flavorless and doughy bagel. I would have skipped on this entirely had I known they were going to grab a bag from their grab-n-go section and put it in a microwave. Totally not worth $9. Skip unless you're starving and simply need the calories. Luckily they offer a discount for anyone who works in Ponce City Market, which is sweet and made me feel better about that horrible sandwich. It's a great place to sit and people watch if you can manage to grab a seat.

They have long hours to (6:30 am to 7 pm).

Thus shop is doing all things right!…read more Let's start with how we got here ! A friend sent me a picture of a Tik Tok picture featuring an ube latte! I responded with - when are we going? We decided we would wait until the weekend since we would have to drive from Cobb county to the city. I started doing some research and did not see ube latte on the menu. I called the phone number listed on yelp- but it appears it is just a cell number and went directly to voicemail. I went to the website and found an email address. I sent a basic question/ do you have an Ube latte on your menu? To my surprise I received a response! This simple response was exhibit A that they don't play about customer service On Saturday morning I arrived to the shop around 11am! The coffee shop is a neighborhood spot! As such, you will just have to find street parking in the neighborhood. I ended up parking a block away. This place was crowded! I did have to wait in a line. However, I enjoyed checking out the item for sale while waiting in line. The book titles had me laughing , this is your go to spot for a unique gift! We ended up ordering the following: 1. Hot Matcha latte with ube and oat milk 2. Hot ube latte with oat milk 3. Cheese danish NOTE: I did confirm that the matcha they use is NOT pre- sweetened. This is a huge plus in my book!! The item came out quickly. All items weee served in to go containers. I am not sure if this is just standard practice even if you are dining in. We were able to grab a table outside! However, this place was crowded and open seating was limited! My matcha was AMAZING! It was not too sweet, which is how I like my matcha. The cheese danish was also delightful. My friend said she enjoyed her latte too. I will note that I did not taste the Ube flavor. This coffee shop is a vibe, but also serves yo tasty drinks and treats! I would highly recommend checking this spot out !

Good friendly environment to just sit down and a lot of street parking for easy accessread more
