I had been able to try Sweets by Millie at an elite Yelp event two years ago and I finally thought it was time to order my own set of cookies for my sons first birthday. I was able to email my ideas to Maggie and it was easy enough, yes others may have a better set up but as a small business we have to not expect Amazon checkout. Now back to the adorable cookies, just loved the sweet bears, banners and party hats from Maggie and her staff. They were great party favors. read more

Life has changed. Life is different. I miss my favorite spots in Nulu. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I wanted to do something to support my favorite businesses, especially the ones in Nulu. Enter collaborations with some of my favorite businesses in the area. The one that caught my eye was a joint venture with Revelry, Nouvelle, and Sweets by Millie. Their special for this pandemic was a Wino & Dino gift set. You get a special bottle of wine from Nouvelle, a Dino succulent from Revelry, and 6 cupcakes from Sweets by Millie. This is my favorite thing from the pandemic right now. The sparkling bottle of rose from Nouvelle was elegant and beautiful. The dinosaur succulent is fun, whimsical and will continue to remind me of this sense of solace for as long as I can keep the plant alive. Finally, the cupcakes. Oh my goodness. These were out of this world amazing. 2 vanilla, 2 strawberry and 2 chocolate. If you want absolute perfection, these cupcakes are it. Thank you to Nouvelle, Revelry, and Sweets by Millie for making this time a little sweeter and being willing to collaborate. I may be ordering another set of cupcakes soon... no judgment zone, y'all. read more

Being from out of town, I love to use local bakeries to bring sweet treats to my clients. Sweets by Millies came up and I decided to order some Valentine's Day cookies for my customers (and for me!!). Ordering was a little difficult via the online ordering system. My order wouldn't go through and I had to enter a shipping address even though the place is pick up only. I ended up trying to call to place the order, but it went to voicemail and the voicemail said she preferred to be contacted by email. I ended up emailing her and getting a response right away. This was a little offsetting but I was really excited about the design and thought of handing these cookies out. Pick up was easy after parking on the street. I was greeted immediately and my cookies were waiting for my arrival. I had previously picked up Valentine's Day goodie bags because I planned to split them up between customers and was pleasantly surprised that they were individually wrapped. (Side note: cookies are not available for individual sale, it must be ordered in advance.) Overall, the decoration on the cookies was extraordinary but it all comes down to taste. These were good sugar cookies but nothing I would go out of my way to get again. I'm a fan of Panera's lemon shortbread cookies and in my opinion, those are better than Sweets by Millie. read more

This place makes some unreal cakes. I was lucky enough to have one of her beautiful cakes at my wedding shower. Not only was the cake a literal work of art, it was absolutely delicious. The bottom was strawberry (real strawberry) with key lime cream cheese icing, and the top tier was funfetti with buttercream. This was the second cake our family had ordered from Sweets by Millie and both were amazing. I will absolutely order from her in the future and encourage you to do the same if you want a stunning and unique cake that also tastes amazing. She also has cookies available, which I haven't tried but looked super cute in someone else's order at the bakery. Do not pass up her flavored cream cheese icings, you will regret it. read more

I don't know how I haven't reviewed Sweets by Millie yet. This place is the best! It is perfect! I seriously cannot speak highly enough of this spot! If you need cookies, a cake, and/or cupcakes for an occasion be sure to check out Sweets by Millie! The work from this shop is absolutely the best, and everything is delicious! I have ordered cookies for numerous events from this spot, and I have sent friends and colleagues to this shop for cake and cookie needs. B ordered my birthday cake from here last year and it was absolutely amazing! It was almost too beautiful to eat, but way too delicious not to dig into. I have lots of events coming up this year with our wedding looming, and I plan to order all of my desserts from Sweets by Millie! If you're in the market for sweets for any reason, or if you're looking for a unique gift for someone you love, look no further. Just get yourself to Sweets by Millie! read more

This lady really knows her cakes! I first tried her baked goods at a Yelp event and really enjoyed them. My boyfriend sneaked her card when I wasn't watching and started what had to be the most elaborate birthday cake plan ever. The cake went perfectly with my party's National Sundae Day theme. It was absolutely beautiful and every bit of it was edible. At first I was concerned about all the fondant on the cake... until I found out the fondant was actually buttercream! Her edges on the buttercream were so smooth and rounded, they looked like fondant. Even the little ice cream cones around the side of the cake were full of silky, rich buttercream. The cake itself is great too. The banana cake is all-natural and tastes like banana bread in cake form. The chocolate was super chocolaty and moist. While I don't know how much the cake cost, my boyfriend said it was very reasonable, especially considering it included delivery. I definitely suggest you hire this chica to make you delicious baked goods! read more

I can't even begin to describe the wonderful cake Sweets by Millie made for my friend's son's birthday. My friend wanted a Spider-Man themed cake and Maggie was able to create one just the way my friend described on the phone and over emails, complete with a starry sky and skyline. And the flavors in the cake were amazing. We'd asked for alternate layers of vanilla, chocolate and strawberry with both butter cream and cream cheese icing and it was heavenly! The butter cream icing is the bomb! The cupcakes and custom cookies were amazing too. It was a breeze to order and pick up. Everyone at the party loved the cake and were inquiring about its origin. Hope Sweets by Millie is inundated with orders in the future! read more

Everything I have seen from Sweets by Millie is beautiful and creative. I have sampled some of their goodies at various tastings throughout the city. The store is close to my home and I have to admit I was a little disappointed that the cases are empty. You cannot walk in and buy their products. Sweets by Millie is an order ahead bakery. I understand their point. They probably cannot stock their custom products. The shop was busy when I visited. I saw one of the most beautiful, work-of-art cakes I have ever seen in my life being picked up when I was in the store. It would be great if they had even a limited selection of product available for neighbors and people who work nearby. I would definitely place a custom order for a special occasion but would love to sample more items on a regular basis. read more

Their hours are listed that they opened at 10am that day but when I arrived there was a line outside because they were not opening until noon. The cake is cute but not exactly as pictured. The border is done nicely but the writing compared to what was advertised kind of sucks, especially for the $40 it cost. The cake itself was okay, more cake like than cookie though. The store was super cute, great vibes inside.

Would definitely recommended her!

Picked up a big cake to take to a family reunion and it was a huge hit! The Baker herself was there and said that the bakery has been there for 130 years, obviously not in the same location since this is a nice modern place, but that tells you something! The service could not have been more friendly or efficient. I highly recommend this place to anyone who likes real baked goods, not stuff that comes from a factory.

No one has ever liked what they've gotten there." Great question. Everything my coworkers and I have gotten has been underwhelming. The cookies haven't had much flavor and all of the sandwiches we've gotten have been dry and tasteless. One reviewer said it reminded them of packed lunches when they were a kid, and I agree: standard bread with some plain lunch meat. Also the staff hasn't been overly friendly, which is something small businesses usually excel in.
