    The cake looked beautiful, and I was genuinely happy with the decoration--that part was done really well. However, I'm giving it 2 stars because of the flavor and overall experience. I specifically ordered the Reese's Pieces option, and when we cut into the cake at the party, everyone was confused and disappointed. It didn't resemble what we expected at all. We were told over the phone that the filling would have Reese's Pieces, but there were maybe three pieces total in the entire cake. You were lucky if you even got one in your slice. The flavor was bland and honestly reminded me of a basic store-bought cake. Definitely not worth the $140 price tag. It was also my first time ordering from a bakery, and this experience really discouraged me from doing it again. On top of that, when we picked up the cake, the staff wasn't very welcoming--we felt rushed and brushed off. I'm just really disappointed overall.

    Cream puff, cheesecake, cannoli

    This is a nice bakery to have local to me. I love that they're open until 7 in the evening, as many other bakeries close in the afternoon. The desserts here are unsurprisingly very sweet and heavy. Some are better than others. I would recommend skipping the dual cake/cheesecake slices and cupcakes. I was personally unimpressed by these and found them overpoweringly sweet and oily. The napoleon is my number one favorite. Napoleons from other bakeries always fall short to me compared to the ones sold at Sweetlife. The pastry is always crisp and fresh (the cream puffs as well), and the cream has this indescribably unique vanilla aroma. It is super good and perfect for sharing! The ratio of cream to pastry is personally too much for me however, so I usually like to eat the extra cream with something plain on the side. I also really like the cake slices. They're very fresh tasting and are available in some pretty unique flavors depending on the day you stop by. Definitely give Sweetlife a chance if you're in the area!

    Ordered from this bakery for my niece's graduation. Ilene helped me with my order. They had different dessert packages which I found convenient. I ended up ordering dessert package #1 and added coconut cream tarts and fruit tarts. Everyone loved the desserts! Will definitely order from Sweet Life Bakery again!

    I love Sweetlife bakery they always have the best selection of cakepops and cake slices, the ladies working there are always super nice and welcoming you with a smile! Can't forget the decorations so beautiful!

    My 1 year old birthday cake
    Noor A.

    Decided to try Sweet-life bakery because of their yelp pictures, they have so many detailed/beautiful cakes I was sure they'd make mine cake special. My daughter is really into Cocomelon (JJ is her favorite character) and her favorite is when "baby shark" comes on. I called the store on a Saturday morning to place the order and asked for Wednesday pickup. I explained that the cake was going to be for a 1-year old and I wanted it to be a "smash cake" for her. They told me their smallest size is a 6" round which was fine by me. I sent them an example of a baby shark cake I saw on their yelp that I liked along with a picture of JJ so that they knew which character I was talking about. Admittedly, I did not give them very specific instructions for the cake because I was so impressed by their yelp page that I thought no matter what they do, the cake will come out great. The instructions I did give was I wanted JJ's face to be the main attraction, I wanted to put sharks around the sides of the cake but I wanted all the sharks to be pink, I asked them to make the cake very girly with lots of pinks etc, finally I asked them to put my girls name on the cake. What I ended up getting was a basic cake with the exact picture of JJ that I sent as a reference printed out and it was sticking out of the top of the cake with a stick. The front had one shark printed with the same edible paper used for JJ. I felt that no effort was put into the cake at all. I paid $88 over the phone thinking it would compare to the other cakes on their yelp but instead they printed two pics and just stuck one on the side and put the other in with a stick. We discussed it, I expressed my feelings at pick up time and they said they can fix it. I told them I wanted JJs face drawn on the top of the cake, I came back and it was his full body again they tried to replicate the reference pic and he was unrecognizable. The drawing was really bad. My baby had no idea who was on her cake. Even her name was written in a place that could be easily missed. I couldn't let her use it as a smash cake due to the ingredients and choking hazards. I was really upset about this because her cake was supposed to be one of the main things. Everyone thought the same thing about the cake it was fairly embarrassing. The grocery store cocomelon cake was $36 but I turned it down because I thought coming here would be so special/customized.

    I spent some time browsing Bakeries for A Special Milestone Birthday and after some time I selected this Bakery from its website... I pre-ordered 2-dozen Macarons on May 6th, 2025 and I was given by the owners sister two day old macarons from the shelf. I paid $75 for 24 dry, hard, mis-shapen, poorly decorated what they call macarons. I asked for a refund and she denied, saying these are what we sell. Please consider a Bakery in Redlands or surrounding areas before throwing away your hard earned money in this poorly operated establishment. For the price paid, this is an incredibly unprofessional and sloppy job. I put 50% down on a deposit, pre ordered, and was given macarons from off the shelf. After I was refused a refund, I decided to taste one and it was remarkably dry and stale. See for yourself...

    Rocky Road Cake Shake
    Joselyn D.

    Such a cute little bakery with so many yummy options! I came by after my sister made a cake order for my niece's birthday and while there I decided to try their other sweets. I saw they had a Cakeshake on their menu and I HAD to try it! I was so excited to try the cakeshake mostly because I was expecting a literal cake slice on top but instead for our visit, we were told we only had a cupcake option. I thought they'd match it with the shake flavor but not too sure what the cupcake flavor was. During our visit they only had a select few ice creams but pretty cool they offered Rocky Road for the shake; that's my favorite ice cream flavor. They put chocolate icing on the rim, and put whipped cream so it got pretty messy. We had to sit there and drink it for a bit (they had tables and chairs) before we drove off if not It would have been a mission. Despite that, the shake was good. I was VERY impressed with the Rainbow cake we had for my nieces birthday. It was soft, moist, and not overly sweet. The icing they use was really good too. I think the only thing I would change if I could would be the writing on the cake. It didn't match the cake but other than that everything was great!

    Cake decorating birthday Party!

    Hugh Thanks to Sweetlife for Hosting the Most amazing cake decorating party for my daughters 8th birthday!

    Found this bakery on yelp when Cari's closed down. Ask Sandra for a custom bday cake and she did a great job. My kid guests loved the cake flavor too! Definitely will order again in the future

    This little bakery might be small, but it is packed with amazing and cute treats! I bought my husband's birthday cake here and it was so delicious! It was a cookies and cream flavor and the price was great for the size and quality of the cake itself. This is not a Stater Bros. bakery, and I'd much rather spend a little more to support local small business. Their cookies and concha's are also divine! They have plenary of other baked good items for you to choose from and the staff is always friendly. This is my new favorite local bakery and I have frequented the establishment a few times since buying the birthday cake. I get something different every time, and each time my choices are delicious! I would highly recommend checking this bakery out the next time you need to get your sweet craving fix.

    $38... 8" Tuxedo cake (4 layers!) From their "standard daily cakes" DELICIOUS!
    Ashlea H.

    -Cake: Tuxedo cake (4 layers of chocolate and vanilla cakes + 2 delicious macarons!) -Size: 8" (eight inch diameter...but very tall! Perfect for large parties) -Price: $38 + tax I needed a birthday cake for a last minute party and called Sweet Life Bakery to see what daily cakes they had available. I was hoping to be able to choose from the ones I saw online but the worker informed me that only certain of those cakes are made each day and they're sold at a first come, first serve basis. The worker was very helpful and told me to call early the next day and try to secure a cake (since the only ones left that day were cute pink cakes with sprinkles, and I needed a cake for a very adult, male lol) I called early the next day and was informed that a Tuxedo cake was available from their "standard daily cakes" which was perfect! ( I will say ONE snag is the OPTIONAL free "birthday plaque". Pretty much hand write with what looks like a black marker on a small round white plaque. Unfortunately it just didn't match the "classy-ness" of the cake so I asked them to remove it once I got to the store--which the worker did expertly and make it look like the plaque was never there!) The workers were very helpful and worked with my time schedule to make sure I got the cake on time. The cake looked beautiful and tasted amazing! Everyone kept asking where I got the cake from and the birthday boy was very pleased! Will definitely be ordering from this company again! Thanks Sweet Life!

    Absolutely great experience! Working with Sandra was worry free. The cake and dessert package was not only priced right but delicious. I wish I would've took after pictures of the dessert table.. GoNe! Looking forward to going to the shop, I heard it's really cute.

    Hi. I'm looking for a cake for Friday Night or Saturday morning 10/8/21. I'd like the cake to be decorated with small watermelons. Does this seem possible for you?

    Hello, please give the store a call 909-533-4600 so someone can help you place the order :)

    Do you guys make tiramisu and if so can it be made the same day it was ordered?

    Hello, yes we do make Tiramisu, normally on weekends is when we have individual slices available but you may always order a 1/4 sheet a week or two in advance. You may also give us a call to ensure we have slices available

    Do they bake pies?

    not regular pies but turnovers,cream puffs anf some wonderful cakes with unique flavor. She likes to use dolce la Leche and churros in pieces by itself and a great cake with cinnamon in it and churros on top. They make wonderful cakes if you order… 

    Is this the same Sweet life as in the one in Eugene Oregon?

    No, this is actually their first location!

    Any Sugar Free items at this shop?

    At the moment we do not, but we hope in the future to incorporate them!

    This is a MUST TRY no matter what if you are in the area. I love their peach cobbler so much I…read morecould eat the crust by itself if I could. They sell slices, all the way to large trays. You can always call ahead and place an order too. Def recommend that during the holidays because lines get long! What blew me away was the sweet potato cheesecake. It was heavenly in so many way. Extremely creamy yet not too sweet. I tried a couple of their banana pudding and it was so light. This is def a grab and go spot, no seating but spacious inside to gawk at the display in the front with all their sweet treats. They work fast when it comes to getting your order ready so come with your list!

Wanted to give this place a try.. Unfortunately my entire family including myself didn't enjoy the sweet potato pie which is what this bakery is known for. Not sure what it is, maybe it has too many spices in it? It was a little too sweet and a bit too dense. Crust was perfect, flaky and buttery. We also grabbed the Sweet Potato Cheesecake. That was devoured. Not too dense and creamy. Sweet potato was swirled into the cheesecake which helped it from being too tangy. Underneath the crust had a layer of granulated sugar mixed in with some crumbly crust. That part was a bit sweet but I just scooped it away and it was fine.

    What a serendipitous find on our way to Joshua Tree! We were looking for a lunch place, and felt…read morelike sandwiches. Never heard of this place before, but we wanted to try their sourdough. The day we went (Friday), they also had clam chowder, so we had to get a cup of that, and it comes with a sourdough roll (which was really nicely flavored, and had a nice dense texture). We ended up getting a turkey sandwich, as well as a blueberry scone and a peanut butter cookie (I mean, we had to wait for the sandwich, and the display cases were dangerous). They were very generous with the sandwich filling, the scone was also delicious, as was the soup. The one flop here was the peanut butter cookie. Could have been moister and chewier, but we enjoyed it nonetheless. You order your sandwiches by filling out a simple order form at the back counter. Bathrooms have a code and were clean. There are two single-stalled ones. Parking in the lot in the back. It was pretty easy when we got there.
