This is my favourite cookie/cupcake shop in Oakville. I've ordered the custom cookies for my son's birthday for the past couple of years and they're always a hit. The staff are always pleasant and the desserts are delicious. Only thing I wish they had all the time though was the espresso shortbread cookie - my fave!! read more

Gorgeous creamy buttery shortbread topped with caramel, chopped pecans and drizzled with chocolate. So delicious! What a lovely cafe! read more

This place is a must try! They have a ton of yummy treats that they seem to change up often, and after going here at least once every week or so since moving to Oakville a year ago, I have not been disappointed a single time. My personal favourite thing from here is the cookie sandwiches (at least it was until I tried an ice cream sandwich today). The frosting on their cupcakes is always perfect - not too sweet and such a pleasant texture. They are always incredibly friendly anytime I have gone in, and its always clean! I 100% recommend this place to everyone (I think Ive read on their posts they have vegan items too?!) just be warned you will find yourself being unable to resist going in everytime you pass by it after you try it! read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this amazing place! I think between two visits we have tried the majority of their items, from baked goods such as cookies, brownies, blondies to blizzard/ milkshakes to a coffee milkshake.... Yes this was as divine as it sounds. I just drank all of mine and I cannot stop thinking about going to get another! It's Americano with ice cream! (You can choose to add it with chocolate, vanilla or swirl soft serve ice cream.)Doesn't that sound heavenly!The most glorious thing I've ever had. Not exaggerating! You've got to try this place! Can't wait for a birthday for a reason to order a big cake! I travel 25 minutes to get there and don't mind one bit! read more

I must have been here two dozen times. The brownies are fudgey. The chocolate chip cookies are chewy with a pinch of salt. Absolutely everything I've had is incredible. I got these cupcakes made for a birthday ... unbelievable. The cake tastes like the most moist airy and delicious home made you've ever had and the icing is a creamy sugary dream. Thank you and keep up the awesome work! read more

The Sweetest Thing - Cupcakes - Desserts Near Me - Oakville, Ontario

Wow people can be so daft. standing outside waiting to go in (only 4 allowed and 5 already in) and someone came out, so a lady walked right around me and in! I went in and said excuse me... and she did nothing and none of the staff did anything either. yes there sweets are pretty good however I am not eating around after being pushed aside! read more

Couldn't help but want to go I this cute little place. Tasteful decors and warm service. The cupcakes, cookies and desserts all looked amazing. I enjoyed the carrot cupcake and coconut cookie, which were chewy and moist! They also offered to put my order aside while I grabbed brunch next door. Too bad this bakery is far from me but I will definitely come back again when I'm in Oakville. read more

The decor here is fantastic and totally instagramable but the treats were very "average" and nothing really stood out for me...(in fact, way too sweet ) Quality was mediocre and just something I can get at a school bazaar or kids birthday party or something. ‍ bit disappointed. Perhaps if they incorporate something unique it would stand out more against millions of cupcake/cookie shops out there Again, the place "looks" nice :) read more

The best Nutella bomb and cookie sandwiches! Their walnut brownie is also so good. Can't wait to go back

I am obsessed with this bakery. Their deserts are incredible and the location is beautiful. I knew the moment I walked in that I was in love and this was my new go-to bakery. The cookies melt in your mouth, don't be surprised if you spend 30 minutes trying to figure out what you want since there is so much to choose from. I highly recommend The Sweetest Thing!!! read more

I love this bakery! Every time we are in town we stop by. Try the "sammies" cookies and their coffee. They even have gluten free options which is rare in bakeries. Amazing service, very friendly staff. This place is a must!!! read more

This place is such a treat! Went here today for the first time with my mom and sister. It is decorated so beautifully, I wish I had more pictures. Highlights for me were definitely the chocolate chip cookie and brownie. The cookie was perfectly soft and gooey on the inside with a slight chewy crunch on the outside. It may just be the best chocolate chip cookie I've ever had. The brownie was also super delish. It looked a little dry but was surprisingly moist, had lots of crunchy walnuts and was the perfect amount of sweet. Everything we tried was really good. I don't think you can go wrong here. The husband/wife owners served us and were super kind and attentive. If you are looking for desserts to bring as a hostess gift or dinner party, this place would be great. I plan on going back with my young daughter who will love the ambiance and sweet treats. I hope this place is here for a long time. 10+!!! read more

We ordered a custom cake last year for our son's birthday which cost a small fortune and besides the fondant design (which was the bulk of the incremental cost) the cake was just OK tasting and a little oily. When reaching out to inquire about the custom cake and then the subsequent communications to plan it, I found them not to have a proper system for handling custom requests, I got shuffled around a lot, and some of the (senior) staff I spoke to actually were rather rude, as if I was imposing on them. On two other separate occasions (including one this week), I've had cake and cupcakes from them and the taste was purely OK but not worth the price. I'm sharing here which is rare for me, in hopes that they will improve their product and service because I was hoping to support a local small business. read more

A great spot for a coffee and the cookies and baked goods are too die for. Awesome addition to Kerr street.
