The storefront is nice and the staff was really friendly and helpful. The nutella stuffed cookie was great, especially with the sea salt on top. The pistachio cheesecake had a strong, artificial pistachio taste, and I was surprised it was $7 for a slice! Not pictured was the cream cheese brownie, which was unfortunately so under baked that the brownie batter was oozing out so I had to toss it. I may be back to try their cupcakes or to grab another nutella cookie. read more

Absolutely love Sweet Mia's! Went here on a Saturday late afternoon and was lucky enough to still grab some macarons, cupcakes, and cheesecake. Everything I had was so good! I had the funfetti & chocolate raspberry macrons and loved them- the macarons were perfectly made! I also got their chocolate mousse cupcake and can tell you I've never had a better cupcake! The frosting was so light and the cake was so moist. I seriously would love to get this as a cake one day! The cheesecake was a show stopper! I got the raspberry swirl and it was so light, creamy and delicious! I cannot wait to go back and will definitely arrive a little earlier/ call ahead next time to make sure they don't sell out before I get there! It's that good! Will be back!

This is really a beautiful bakery owned by sisters. I met Mia. She was really nice. The cupcakes are really good. Highly recommend this place. The strawberry chocolate and chocolate mousse cupcakes were really good. They tasted fresh. When you order the cupcake, they put the frosting on it, so they're really fresh. The Nutella cookie is really popular because it's so good. Nice to support a women owned business. read more

Oh Sweet Mia, I have been looking forward to cozying up by the campfire with one of your tempting cupcakes, but you've made my brown eyes blue. I moseyed up to your chuck wagon where I was greeted with a smile and offer of assistance. The days offerings were checked out with me choosin' a Boston Cream for the missus and one other, the name of which escapes me. I feel like I have been bushwacked by the Dalton gang after tasting the frostings that were more akin to marshmallow Fluff than butter cream. The bottoms were equally disappointin' with one drier than dirt and the other sufferin' from too little flavor. It was with a tear in my beer that their half eaten remains were buried on Boot Hill. Sorry Sweet Mia, I am wishing happy trails to you, but it is time for me to hopalong and ride off into the sunset. Hi-Yo, Silver! Away! read more

My family and I stumbled upon Sweet Mia's while in the area picking up dinner, wanting something sweet. First off, the absolute cutest little bakery. When you walk inside, it is so happy. Everything is displayed so beautifully with a nice board of cupcake flavors listed. The young woman working was so kind (and beautiful) and informed us that the cupcakes were decorated and boxed to order. We were so excited. We ended up getting a variety box of cupcakes (pictured) and a lemon square and some gluten free cheesecake brownies. When we got home and finally dug into these, not one single dessert disappointed. The lemon squares were perfectly tart and soft. The cheesecake brownies were rich and delicious without being too dense or dry. The cupcakes were the true stars though. Every flavor was absolute perfection; inside and out. We ended up sharing some of the flavors and even family members who claimed they "weren't (insert flavor here) people" had to sing the praises of every last cupcake. They were perfect flavors, perfect sizes, perfect proportions, perfectly decorations. I would be back here in a heartbeat with another sweet tooth demand. Honestly, SO much better quality and taste than most of these "big name" cupcake businesses around Connecticut. Highly recommend! read more

Great range of cupcakes from chocolate mousse to more unique flavors like s'mores (hummingbird is my favorite). Also love the cheesecakes, cookies, whoopie pies and handheld pies!

It happened to be Valentines Day so I was pleased that they still had a large selection of goodies! When I arrived I realized I had been here once before. It wasn't that memorable the first time because they didn't have the nutella filled chocolate chip cookies I was hoping to try. They had them this time. They are topped with sea salt which definitely brings out the sweetness of the chocolate. The cookie was very good but would be better as a simple chocolate chip cookie, of which there aren't any really good ones around. I would suggest using finer sea salt, too, as the larger pieces became too salty at times. The nutella filling is nice but makes it just too sweet. I'm sure there's a huge follow for it but I would prefer a simple cc cookie. I also got a hummingbird cupcake. It was denser than I'm used to but very good nonetheless. read more

It was around 7:45pm, the lights were on, but the door was locked and the staff seemed to be cleaning up. One of them looked up, saw us standing at the door and then went back to doing whatever they were doing without bothering to engage with us. It was incredibly frustrating having driven almost an hour with the expectation of getting some delicious food, only to be ignored by staff at a time when they were supposed to be open. Many months later (giving them the benefit of the doubt that the early closure on our last visit was a fluke) we made the trip up again. We arrived to find the place was locked up and dark - again during a time when they were supposed to be open. Today I was with some friends and we stopped to have lunch at Smokin' With Chris next door. During our meal, I mentioned my past experiences with The Lab, but also said how good the food was. So, we walked over to look at the menu and possibly pick up dinner for later that evening. It was around 1:30pm, the lights were off and the door was locked. I double-checked their website, and they were supposed to be open at 11:30am. While I was on my phone, an employee came up, unlocked the door, turned on the lights and began his shift - two full hours after they were supposed to be open! WTF?! Apparently, the owners of The Lab seem to believe that their food is so epic that they can just operate their business whenever they like regardless of their posted hours. This total lack of consideration for their customers is beyond insulting. It's really too bad because the food is good, but not good enough to offset the unprofessional manner the owners are running (or in this case, not running) this place. There are way too many other great dining options available nearby that actually adhere to their posted hours to put up with this nonsense.

Wait until you see what's peeking at you from inside their showcases. They will whisper seductively in your ear: "Take me home baby, you'll never find anyone as sweet and decadent as me". Danishes, tarts, pies, cakes, cookies, bars, macarons, Napoleons, Cannolis (white and dark chocolate) Tiramisu, Cinnamon Sticks, Croissants, Cream Horns, French Cruller Bun, Spanish flan, French meringue, Chocolate and white chocolate brownies... well get the picture? We went with three of their fantastic looking cookies a humongous chocolate chip cookies, and two "stuffed" cookies with Nutella and extra chocolate. The stuffed cookies are sort of like the love child of a cream filled donut and a cookie. Man, that Nutella stuffed cookie ($2.60) should have been on the DEA's controlled substance list. Excellence in every bite!

Hardcore Sweet Bakery

A surprisingly good bakery, that is a little too happy to wear it's success on it's sleeve…read more In a restored factory in Southington is a little hipster foodie mecca. With axe throwing, a retro arcade, coffee, chocolate, and this bakery. I got to explore the exposed brick and large filament lights of this specific locale, and picked up some sweets from this little shop. It's very much loud and proud in it's appearances on popular food television. Having pride in your success is a good thing, but it's very much in your face about it. It also prices accordingly, making the price of the baked goods you get at least a couple bucks extra. Thankfully, the baked goods are actually pretty good. We got a couple misfits, a couple french macarons, and one of the dessert waffles they had. The misfit muffins tasted pretty good, soft and light, not too sweet, and well balanced. The French macarons, they were not too great. the filling was sweet but lacking depth. they were pretty though. The standout was the Dessert waffle. Sweet, crispy but cakey, and plenty of chocolate and peanut butter flavor. A surprising bite, and tasty. Overall, it's a good dessert place to go to and try out. Not worth a trek,but a solid choice for that specific area

Hardcore Sweet is a bakery that opened in Watertown, Connecticut in 2012. It was founded by husband…read moreand wife Jeremy and Nicole Braddock. The bakery was initially founded as a cupcake truck. The two bakers were then featured on Food Network shows such as "Winner Cake All" and "Cupcake Wars", winning the latter. After that, they opened their first brick and mortar bakery. Most recently they competed on the Netflix show "Sugar Rush". A second location opened in Southington at the historic Factory Square complex in October 2021. Another location once existed at the Buckland Hills Mall in Manchester, but it has since closed. The locations offer cupcakes, custom cakes, cake pops, whoopie pies, cookies and muffins. I stopped at the Southington location of Hardcore Sweet for the first time this past July. Several businesses located at Factory Square were offering special menu items to celebrate Harry Potter's birthday. Factory Square is located conveniently alongside the popular Farmington Canal Trail, so I cycled there. Hardcore Sweet had several Harry Potter offerings that day, but by the time I had arrived most of them were sadly sold out. I ordered one of the few Harry Potter treats that they had left: Buckbeak's Breakfast Cupcake. It was delicious! I definitely need to come back to try more of their tasty treats on a future visit to Factory Square. I just need to get there earlier in the day when their selection is bigger.
