    Lydia is a baking artist! She made the most beautiful cookies for my daughter's first birthday -- the theme was ONEderwoman. I sent her some inspo photos and she came up with 6 designs! They were almost too pretty to eat. BUT they were eaten and they were an absolute hit! I love how they are individually sealed too so the freshness is maximized. Lydia is also such a sweetheart and was super communicative and accommodating throughout the process. I would highly recommend Lydia for your baking needs! I can't speak on cupcakes ... although I hope to order some for our next party! Thanks for being so great Lydia!

    Lydia did such an amazing job with our wedding cookies. Everyone kept talking about how beautiful, and more importantly how delicious they were. Thank you for being so accommodating and making the perfect cookies to celebrate our day.

    Lydia came through for me with 48 hours notice and an already full plate, and made a BEAUTIFUL display of cookies for my niece's Dumbo baby shower!! I received a million compliments, in-person and via social media posts. They were ALMOST too gorgeous to eat, until we dug into them I can't say enough wonderful things about The Sweetest Things, I will definitely be a returning customer!!!! Thanks again Lydia!!!

    I have ordered cookies from The Sweetest Things Bakery before for my Daughter's bridal shower. They were so yummy and adorable that my friends and I wanted to have a cookie decorating party for our Book Club. Lydia came to my book club party and taught us how to decorate cookies that went with the theme of our book! We had so much fun! I would Definitely highly recommend her for all her yummy treats and a fun decorating party!

    I bought a cake and cookies from The Sweetest Things Bakery for my husbands birthday, and my experience was great! I originally just ordered the cookies but then the celebration got bigger and I asked last minute if a cake would be possible too. Lydia was great at communicating with me and everything was packaged beautifully and ready to go at the designated time. Her prices are reasonable and I will totally be ordering again- I already placed my order for Easter cookies :)

    Iced sugar cookies with a sloth design for the win!!!  The CUTEST cookies for our daughter and son in law's baby shower.

    Lydia has been providing delicious baked goods for me for years now. From beautiful celebratory cakes to the most detailed iced sugar cookies, The Sweetest Things Bakery and Parties is my go to when I want beautiful baked goods that taste delicious. My most recent orders have been for my husband and my 25th wedding anniversary party and for our daughter and son in law's baby shower. At both events, our guests had nothing but praises for our dessert offerings. Lydia, the owner, is a delight to work with. There are no bounds to her creativity!! She has amazing ideas and a spectacular eye for detail. Her designs are stunning!!! She is professional, responsive, and delivers an amazing product right on time!

    Cookies for volleyball team!
    Jamie M.

    These cookies were a huge hit for my daughters volleyball team! They were so cute and delicious. Another mom liked them so much she wants to order some. Wonderfully packaged, the presentation was beautiful. The taste, amazing! Her creativity is stunning. All we told her was the team name, the Honey Bees, and this is what she came up with. I would definitely recommend, and we will be return customers.

    Police Captain retirement

    I used Lydia for my husbands retirement and she did an awesome job! Everyone loved them and thought the cookies were adorable. I gave her a few examples through pictures I found on Pinterest and she replicated them wonderfully! Also everything was super easy to communicate via texting and payment.

    Absolutely amazing! Contacted the week of and she delivered!!! Personal cake and cake pops were beautiful and exactly what I wanted. They were a hit with my guest. Best part, tasted amazing!!!! Moist and delicious. I will be definitely use again!!

    Bridesmaid set

    I always use yelp just to read other peoples reviews of places I want to try but I never really write reviews myself. This time I just had to. I posted an ad on a social media platform asking people where they would recommend me to go for some custom made sugar cookies. I got tons of suggestions but decided to go with Lydia of The Sweetest Things because MANY people recommended her to me. Let me tell you, boy am I glad that I did! She was phenomenal to work with! She was very friendly and got back to me really fast with any questions that I had. I sent her pictures of different cookies that I wanted she was able to create exactly what I wanted! In fact, she used her creativity and my finished products wereven better than I had imagined. I too definitely recommend Lydia for any sweet treats that you may need will will definitely be going back to her again! Thank you Lydia, you rock!

    uncle fluffy... more like daddy fluf--…read more ...*ahem* my bad. Uncle Fluffy has been on my list for like a gajillion years not even joking. my mother is a cheesecake fanatic.... and also an almond mom. so japanese cheesecake is that woman's dream: lighter, less dense, and less sweet than american cheesecakes (the higher protein content from fluffed egg whites also means u could make ur fellow gymbro into "making up" the calories too) the regular cheesecake was yum and the texture was divine: basically if you imagined a fluffy soufflé pancake and cheesecake had a baby. it didn't wow me though, especially since i love things on the sweeter side and it definitely wasn't. for a tiny $11 dessert, it didn't taste like i was indulging in a dirty little sweet treat. so i'll stick w my dense caloric diabetic cheesecakes from the freezer isle at vons. BUT TO EACH THEIR OWN! my mom ATE THAT UNC UPPPPP. she ADORED the cheesecake. also service was quick and sweet. uncle fluffy def has daddy potential xoxo ;P

They have great doughnuts. My wife loves the cheese cake blueberry one. In fact today leah (forgive me if I spelt your name wrong) made one from scratch after I had said my wife loves them. I'm not even a big doughnut person and I can say they are really good. Better than any run of the mill yum yums or krispy kreme. There aren't many mom & pop stores like this in riverside and it's great to see places like this opening and staying in business like this for over 6 years now. I personally love their coffee! My go to is a caramel macchiato. My wife has worked in countless coffee shops & even she thinks it's great. The espresso they use is amazing. The place is really clean and has a very chic atmosphere. I wish i took pictures but it has a really nice outside patio area. And they even serve alcohol. There is to much to say so i'll stop here.

When a place posts all these fun, pretty options online, you kind of expect at least some of that energy when you walk in and it wasn't really there. Maybe I caught them on an off morning, but for now, it's a 2-star experience for some overpriced donuts

My friends and I all got the Spicy Crabmeat savory crepe, and honestly I wasn't sure if I was going to like it at first because this was my first time trying a savory crepe instead of a sweet one. But it completely surprised me in the best way possible. The crepe was packed with ingredients like crabmeat sticks, avocado, baby spinach, masago, seaweed salad, cucumber, edamame, crunchy shallots, spicy mayo, and sesame dressing, and everything worked really well together. It had a really fresh flavor from the vegetables and seaweed salad, while the spicy mayo and sesame dressing added a creamy, savory richness. The crunchy shallots also gave it a nice texture that made each bite more satisfying. It ended up feeling light but still really filling. The workers were really nice, and it was cool seeing that some of them were UCR students too, which made the place feel even more connected to the area and student community.
