Quite possibly the best thing to happen to me this year is finding this place! On my search for new places to go for cupcakes after Sprinkles closed, I find Synergy Sweets listed. They offer a decent sized selection of all sorts of treats: cupcakes, cookies, cheesecakes, brownies, and cheesecake-cakes. I noted how close it was to where I lived and that the hours worked out for me, so I thought I'd give it a go! The shop is a little hidden, but easy to find if you are looking for it along the plaza. It's small, cute, and beautifully decorated with a few seats outside welcoming visitors to stay, but it's mainly a place for pickup orders. The owner was very sweet and greeted me right away, giving me a loyalty punch card for cheesecakes (which I'll be using). I had bought my treats online the night before with a set pick up time (I highly recommend ordering this way. While I'm sure they do walk-ins, it's a guarantee you'll get what you want ordering online). My selection: Salted Caramel White Chocolate Macadamia Cookie: White chocolate macadamia is MY FAVORITE cookie, so this was a must try for me! While I'm more than happy with a plain white chocolate macadamia, I was very intrigued that this one was on another level with the salted caramel and white chocolate drizzle on top. I heated it for 45 seconds in the microwave and had this for breakfast. Wow! White Macadamia like I've never had before! The brown sugar base with the warm toasty taste of macadamia and sweet white chocolate is exactly what I want in this cookie, but the salty sweetness of caramel and added white chocolate drizzle really brings this over the top! The best white macadamia cookie I've ever had! Soft, chewy, and went great with my morning coffee! Strawberry Crunch Cupcake: The owner said this is a best-seller, and I can see why! The frosting is like strawberry velvet, and not too sweet at all like strawberry icing can be sometimes. The cake itself is more of a strawberry marble cake, and makes me think of strawberry shortcake. It's topped with streusel and muddled strawberries, then crowned with a fresh strawberry. A true strawberry lover's dream! Strawberry Cheesecake: I was super torn between getting this and the guava (which will be my next conquest). I noticed they also had red velvet cookie butter, which REALLY caught my eye, but I was in a mood for more simplicity, and strawberry cheesecake is a classic. This was given to me as the plain cheesecake with the separate strawberry compote to pour on top. Smart, to give you a good idea of what the cheesecake itself is like without the topping, and my boyfriend initially wanted his plain, but I digress. It looks and smells delicious, so I knew I was in for a treat! The cheesecake was incredibly creamy and fresh with a slight twang, a mark for authentic New York Style cheesecake and is as good as you can get to going to New York for a slice (disclaimer: never been to New York to really verify, but it's coming!). I could have eaten this plain, but I wanted the strawberry compote, so I poured it over the top, which gave me strawberries with each bite and a refreshing twist too! On par with my favorite cheesecake place, though I think my favorite cheesecake place might have some competition now. Super-stoked to have finally tried this place, and I'm eager to go back for more of their creatively crafted treats! read more

Such a cute little space! A girls pink dream! The service was fast and friendly. I went later in the day so they were sold out of a lot. I went with the recommendation of the sweet potato cupcake, and it was definitely good!! I like my cakes a bit more moist, however the flavor was amazing and I will definitely be back to try another dessert! read more

I found Synergy Sweets on TikTok and I am thankful that I did. The shop is so cute and cozy. The people working were super helpful and informative. We tried a butter cake, cupcake, cookie, lemonade and everything was delicious. To my surprise the best item was the red velvet banana pudding cupcake, it was like something I had never experienced before. So much flavor and moistness! read more

I absolutely love Synergy Sweets!! What a gorgeous and wonderful location. The staff is so friendly and amazing every time I go. The Artist and Baker Shonnika Denise is sooo good at what she does! A natural, everything is always fantastic. I won a social media giveaway they sponsored around the holidays 2024 and she went above and beyond to fill my order. 10/10 recommend! My family has even become used to celebrating milestones with treats from Synergy Sweets, you must try it yourself! read more

The shop is very cute with floral and glitter everywhere. The ladies that work there are the sweetest people and so jolly and treat you so well. They have a couple of specialty desserts for the strawberry festival season which was unique to see at a bakery, and they have a good amount of unique and beautiful dessert options. I see that they have many trophies and I want to congratulate them on that! However, the desserts I tried were nothing super unique to the point where I would crave it or want to try more things and come back for it. Even though the place was cute and the staff are so sweet, I have to rate it 3 stars just because for the price of the desserts the flavor wasn't anything crazy (the cheese cake in the photo is about $12) and for me it's a little pricy, but I understand that a lot of work probably goes into it. Overall, a cute place to stop by if you're in the area. read more

I'm a fan! I don't live near the shop, so when I was out that way, I had to stop and try it out. I'm pleasantly pleased. The shop is so cute. I love the color scheme. When I went in, there were gorgeous cakes, pies and cheesecakes on display for order for the holidays. There were plenty options to choose for. I ordered a classic strawberry cheesecake, the eggnog cheesecake, the black cupcake and another cupcake (I can't remember the name. Everything was SO tasty!! I wanted to try the rice crispy treat, but they were out. They do offer Silk, as a milk option, but I like regular cow milk with my desserts lol, but I love that they offer Silk. The service was very friendly. Very quick to get everything out and everything looked as pictured. It was really treat! I would absolutely recommend you take the drive to try out these treats. I believe they also are partners with Doordash for delivery. I can't wait to go back and try more treats! read more

I recently tried some new flavors and I still enjoy everything I get from here. I ordered online; it was ready on time with pleasant and easy process to pickup. The banana caramel cupcake has caramel inside. I'm not big on chocolate cake yet their turtle cupcake that has a chocolate base ended up being my favorite thing. I love that the cheesecake stuffed cookie still had a crispy outside. read more

Was in Tampa on a birthday trip for my son and wanted to grab some sweets. Really cute location and the owner was very friendly. She explained all available menu items. We ordered cookies n cream butter cake, cookie butter brownie and s'mores cupcakes. We weren't going to eat the butter cake right away so she is with all needed toppings and instructions. Everything was packaged nicely. My son enjoyed the desserts. read more

Bought over $65 with a variety of items. Some are moist and good, some are overly sweet for my taste. Was excited about the carrot cake but it's not very carrot-y. The cake squares are a bit pricy in my opinion ($13). But def worth a try though if you are a sweets person and I would definitely be back if there are any interesting new flavors in the future. read more

Incredible baked goods!!! They weren't too sweet and they were made with high quality ingredients. My top recommendations would be the Snickers Cupcake, Oreo Cheesecake, and Pecan Cheesecake. But you won't be disappointed with anything you order really. read more

I have been hearing about this place for a while and was finally in the area and decided to give it a try. First, the customer service was top notch! I immediately felt welcome! I ordered a vanilla cupcake, a red velvet cupcake, a black velvet cupcake and a red velvet cheesecake brownie. I tried the vanilla first and the texture wasn't for me. It was very crumbly. However, the red velvet was sheer perfection as well as the black velvet. I can't wait to try the red velvet cheesecake brownie! I would definitely return and sign off that this place is worth the hype. read more

Her deserts are absolutely amazing! You will not be disappointed in anything you buy from here.

These treats are amazing! We ordered the red velvet brownie, the brown butter cookie, funfetti cheesecake and the Bailey's cheesecake. I wasn't a fan of the Bailey's cheesecake, it wasn't bad by no means but I did like the other 3 desserts better. I have told quite a bit of people about them...I do not mind recommending great eateries like this one. We can't wait to try more of these...Oh! And the prices are SUPER reasonable! read more

Let me start off with I can't wait until the store is officially open! My first experience with tasting her cake was an order for a red velvet cheesecake for Christmas. Not only was the flavour of the cake delicious but texture and moisture were on point . I picked up the car from the future bakery spot and Shonnika placed the cake in the car for me. She was very professional and pleasant . Everyone who tasted the cake were dancing after each bite . For my baby shower I knew exactly who I wanted to babe my cake . I got a two tiered cake with chocolate and vanilla with fruits. Both cakes were so delicious , people went back for seconds and thirds for both flavours. The cake perfectly matched the sunflower theme. Her chocolate cake tasted like actual chocolate! For my mom's 65th birthday again I knew who to order my cake from. Shonnika was so patient with my indecisiveness and ensured that she captured the vision I wanted for the cake . She created a beautiful cake. Strawberry cake with cheese she and strawberry buttercream inside. Oh and the butter cream inside and outside of her cakes are delicious and the cake is not overly sweet. The flavour of the strawberry cake and cheesecake were delicious. I know exactly where I am going to order the cake for my baby's first birthday. You can't go wrong with the winner of Dessert wars! read more

Cute place. Tried the old fashion Cheesecake, good flavor but too dense, crust is too heavy. Could not even get thru with the fork. Cheesecake has mild notes of vanilla, the round cake was too small and not balance compare to the amount of crust added to the cake. Cheesecakes should be lite, fluffy and tall. The girl at the counter was really courteous and jolly. read more

Super cute shop with Very sweet people. I love that the shop changes out flavors to keep things fresh. The cupcakes are also great!

Get the cheesecake, actually get 2 or 3 or one of each flavor. You're welcome! Each time I've gone in the owner herself is in there, so each dessert is truly made by her. There's a reason the trophies are stacked up by the register, well deserved! read more

We got 3 cupcakes (banana pudding, cookies and cream pebbles) guava, cheesecake, and gluten-free cheesecake and another one I can't remember . My momma and husband both said they should have gotten more. overall everything was so good and the customer service was GREAT!! we will be coming back read more

If you want a beautiful custom cake that tastes as great as it looks, go with synergy sweets. The whole process was seamless. The inquiry and follow up was timely. The payment process was smooth and even pickup was easy. They offer delivery, I'll pick this option next time as I just forgot to pick this service during my order. The custom cake I order was for my grandma's 90th birthday. The colors were perfect, all of the special details were beautiful. The flavor was vanilla with strawberry filling. OMG!!!! Delicious.....
