It's Candyland come to life... the Good Ship Lollipop, docked in Valrico! When you walk into…read moreSweetie's, it's like stepping into one of their gorgeous confections-everything's sugarplums and whipped cream... frosting and frothing... with sprinkles and sunshine. It's a pink parfait of a place-that's total yum for the eyes. My stomach wanted in on the action, too... so I sauntered up to the cupcake case. Soooo many choices-all of them beautiful. I was so overwhelmed-clearly on a sugar high without yet taking a bite-and quickly chose the cherry chip, banana and cookies and cream to take home. I promised myself I wouldn't devour all three at once and so far I've made it (and I've been home a whole five minutes!!!) I can excitedly report, the cherry chip is divine-a nice balance of flavors... not too sweet. I'll report back on the others later (or perhaps sooner). The little jewel box that is Sweetie's is in the Plaza Bella shopping center, at Bloomingdale and Bell Shoals... and it shares a big parking lot with Naga Tea, the Green Boutique and The Shrimp Boat. Swing by and see them. Say hi-I'll probably be heading in or out when you're there-I'm planning on becoming a regular.

Ordered this cake online in anticipation of a visit we would be having in the area; had a friend to…read morepick it up so we would have it ready by the time we arrived; we were not disappointed! Great way to celebrate a weeklong birthday by partaking in this succulent cake. I am not usually a dessert (cake) eater, but this cake was sooooo delicious! Hat's off to this bakery. Though we are not from the area, I certainly can recommend this bakery based on our satisfaction with the chocolate cake we ordered! YUM!!!

Absolutely, the best bakery. Not only in the Valrico-Brandon area, but Florida in general…read more The environment is always very lively here, and the food is delicious. I love spending my time viewing all the beautiful pastries in the glass case while I wait for, quite honestly, the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had to be prepared. Moreno's will always have my business. Hot, fresh, food: Made with love. Not to mention the orange juice only has one ingredient.

Went and had high expectations from the reviews. Highly disappointed. The biscuit was raw inside. I…read moreordered a latte and all I could taste was the vanilla and milk. My kids also got the regular cinnamon roll, they reheated it but you can taste and smell that it has been seating for days. Their food is definitely over priced and doesn't match the quality they sell. They definitely resell their shelf items after they have been sitting for days.

Got some of meraki bake houses goodies at the Saturday morning market…read more We just got back from a trip from Paris so it's hard to beat there croissants. I actually likes the savory over the sweet pistachio. My wife got a cinnamon roll which she loved. We also liked the cupcake. They were a little pricey but I would pay it all over again. The line moves fast but get there early because they always sell out. The little stand moves but you'll know you're in the right place when you see the line. The women who work is are very nice and will help you find what you're looking for.

The Bakery switched owners. The former owner was a baker, who understood creaming butter and sugar…read moretogether until it makes a ribbon. I was addicted to the chocolate fudge cookies that were a chocolate cookie with chocolate meringue folded into it. For the same price, the meringue is gone, the butter and sugar are not creamed together sufficiently, and the dry ingredients are only mixed to a rocky consistency. The chocolate stays separate and the cookie is greasy, difficult to handle and doesn't taste very good. It is not made with love, nor was it mixed properly. The croissants are great just do not order any meringue products or the basque cheesecake. Not putting enough batter, temp too high and result a dried piece of paper with a hint of what once was. Thought of returning the cookies, but too sad

We tried the pain au chocolate, raspberry chocolate croissant, carrot cake, almond croissant, blueberry cheese danish, and a cookie. EVERYTHING was spectacular!

First let me state that I DO NOT enjoy chocolate cake but it's my daughter's favorite. The baker added fresh fruit and a little happy birthday sign on it for me and it was PERFECT! I bake as well (not nearly this good) and could not have matched the moistness and the amazing flavor of this cake! It was delicious! It tasted as if it was made with lots of skill and love. My family loved it as well and my daughter was so pleased! Thank you for the amazing cake! We will definitely be back. Today as a matter of fact for my son in law!
