I was lucky enough to be in Fort Bragg on a weekend when this place was open. The lemon mousse cake is a must have here. It has the perfect balance of sweet and sour. I also loved the cupcakes...moist and not too sweet (also not too big in size)! Princess cake looked pretty but was not my liking, since it was just layers of cream covered in fondant. While macarons were also not the best I have had (they were a little too overcooked and hard), I think you cannot go wrong with their cupcakes and fruit flavored cakes! I would like to come back if I have a chance. read more

A Sweet Affair - Chocolate Hazelnut Tart - Bakeries Near Me - Fort Bragg, California

Brittney made our wedding cake, a baseball-shaped groom cake, and some gluten-free cupcakes for us. I cannot say enough how delicious everything was and how absolutely flawlessly beautiful it was! I asked Brittney to make a groom cake that was anise flavored because my husband loves black licorice. Even though this is not a normal flavor that she offers, she made the most delicious anise cake ever! Brittney was also so nice, very professional, and took care of everything we needed. She was so easy to work with and such a nice person. Needless to say, I would recommend A Sweet Affair to anyone looking for a cake in the area and I will be buying her baked goods for years to come! Trust me, you will not be disappointed!! read more

A Sweet Affair - Bakeries Near Me - Fort Bragg, California

We purposely time our Mendocino/Ft Bragg trip around the weekend since that is when she is typically open there is now way we are missing any goodies (even went back a second time before we left to get more goodies for the road). Small intimate storefront bakery with many goods inside from macarons, princess cake, edible cookie dough, cookies, cupcakes and more. Her talent and precision of decorating makes it hard to choose hence I go home with many. Can't wait for our next visit! read more

Really cool sweets here! The display case is beautiful, everything looks like a piece of art, and lots of different stuff to choose from.

Wonderful sweets, nice people. Only see them at the Fort Bragg farmers market. The shortbread is excellent ,

Oh my gosh. Heavenly. And great prices, especially given the quality of both the taste and appearance of the treats! We wandered by a few times on Valentine's Day, and there was a line out the door. When we stopped by later in the afternoon, it was a little less busy so we decided to see what was left in the case. The chefs were clearly baking all day to meet the demand, so there was still quite a variety even on such a busy day! We got a lemon mousse cake, coconut cream tart, and tiramisu. All were fantastic, clear evidence in favor of the crowds, but the lemon mousse in particular had everyone talking about when we'd be able to make another trip to get it again. Light, fluffy, incredibly fresh and bright. This is definitely going to be a regular stop for me when I'm in need of a real treat! read more

I've been hoping to find this place open on Sat/Sunday for months now. They always seem closed, but finally this weekend I was surprised to see their door was open. We tried the chocolate tart, pecan tart and the lemon olloliberry mousse tart. All of them were fabulous. I'm only docking them a star because they weren't very friendly. One lady was breaking up honeycomb for Cowlicks and I asked a question about their equipment... she just glared at me like she was irritated customers were there and ignored us. The lady helping us was ok, but even she seemed like she wanted to just get back to whatever she was doing. We would definitely go back for the tarts again. read more

This place is no longer open in order to get any of their sweets. You need to shop online at their store, email them for custom orders are at Fort Bragg farmers market Wednesdays on Franklin 230 to 530.. read more

A Sweet Affair - Coconut caramel, French vanilla, fruity pebbles, chocolate berry, pistachio, brownie, lemon, raspberry, olallieberry - Bakeries Near Me - Fort Bragg, California

Best cake I've ever had , work out in the area once a year always go and get a cake . Absolutely delicious.

Ultimately disappointed. We came during their anniversary event and ordered a funfetti/birthday cupcake, churro cupcake, and pistachio and chocolate macrons. The cupcakes were topped with a cake ball(similar texture and flavor to what's inside a cake pop) and a small churro respectively, both super yummy. That was the best part. The cake in both was minimally flavored and so dry. The birthday cake had some sort of filling, I couldn't tell you what it was because it tasted just "sweet." The frosting on both left a film in my mouth and both tasted, again, just sweet. The macarons did not taste like pistachio or chocolate. The pistachio was bright green, which is off putting compared to a naturally colored macron. The filling in both was a bit runny and was spilling out the sides when we went to grab them. The only good thing really was the texture of the cookies. Hopefully it was an off day? But we will not be coming back. :( read more

This is a not to miss spot in Fort Bragg! The desserts here are world class. I don't know where to begin. The Lemon Mousse cake was sublime, I have never had anything better. The Tiramisu was excellent as was the coconut cream tart. Valentines day and this place was hopping in spite of the rain. Fantastic read more

AMAZING! Very friendly staff! They have beautiful pastries! I tried the lemon tart, blueberry clafoutis and brownie. They were all delicious. If you're visiting for the week or weekend I recommend you buy extra! They are only open Fridays and Saturdays and I am so bummed I didn't get more. It's Sunday and I woke up thinking about the lemon tart. We walked all over Fort Bragg and Mendocino and this really was the most welcoming and elegant bakery. If you're visiting for a special occasion please stop in here for a sweet, you will not be disappointed! read more

We couldn't find parking close to where we intended to go, and thus accidentally passed A Sweet Affair and nearly planted our faces against the glass taking in the stunning array of gorgeous pastries. The only thing better than the beauty of their offerings is the delight of eating a sampling of this world class delicasies. We are so glad to have bumped into this fine establishment. Highly recommended. read more

A Sweet Affair - Vanilla with Ollalaberry - Bakeries Near Me - Fort Bragg, California

Visit on 8/10/17: Came here and got a plain vanilla cupcake. Not dry, not too sweet. The hours aren't that great and they could stand to have more of a variety of cupcakes, but I guess they make up for it by having macaroons and other types of desserts out. read more

The first time here last year blew me away. This time, it was good, but not knock your socks off. Purchased several flavors of macarons. Still tasty, but the outside shells were a little dry. The filling in the meyer lemon macaron was luscious and creamy though. The passionfruit dessert and chocolate dessert were good, but a little too heavy instead of heavenly. A very delicate balance to strike. Still worth stopping in for, but maybe not dreaming about. Or, maybe I'll have to go back to sample more delights... The ice cream sandwich macarons looked pretty amazing... Next day- another stop. The chocolate almond tarte is decadent and delicious. Get it! read more

Location marked by a macaroon hanging above the storefront, this amazing little patisserie is everything I've ever dreamed of . We were in Fort Bragg for the day and were looking for a place to have lunch when we stumbled upon this quaint street with a teal macaroon hanging above the storefront. We patiently waited in line, which moved quickly, for our turn. The store is tiny and only two people are allowed inside, wearing masks of course. We studied the display case before deciding on a Honey Orange tart, each one was beautifully decorated with blue berries. It barely had hints of orange notes and was simply delicious. We also ordered coconut carmel macaroons which were amazing a vanilla macaroon which tasted good but was slightly over cooked. The strawberry cheesecake filled cookies were TO DIE FOR. My husband said the filled chocolate chip cookie was ok. We continue to search for a place to have lunch. We dipped into our bag of treats and were in awe. Needless to say, we quickly left the waiting area of the North Coast brewing company and returned to get more treats to take home and share. We literally returned ten inured after placing our first order. When we got there I was not surprised but shocked that in ten minutes, the display case had half as many treats as when I was first there. If you are ever looking for epically paired flavors and the most wonderfully treats, stop in. You definitely won't be disappointed! Treats ranged from $2.50 for a macaroon to $6.95 for a tart or cheesecake. There were tiny perfectly decorated princess cakes, cheesecakes, tarts, filled cookies and macaroons. read more

Came here because my friends and I wanted a dessert. We ordered a variety and shared them. Everything was delicious and made perfectly. The cupcakes were moist, the chocolate eclair was packed with flavor but not overly sweet. Macarons were delicious and the tarts were amazing! Lady behind the counter was patient and gave suggestions. read more

Love this cute place. They have a small shelf of individual deserts to choose from but they are so worth it! You have to buy at least one thing if you're visiting! read more

Its so tasty I would defiantly come back again...and again...and again to try everything. I was looking for lunch but ended up with a treat. I got the berry cookie sandwich, it wasn't too sweet nor did it leave me feeling like I could have improved the recipe. If the other items are as good as my first sample you will not be disappointed :) read more

Very disappointed in this business. Went online to see about ordering a celebration cake. Website said to give 2 weeks notice to guarantee cake would be ready. I sent an email as directed on their site. Then I called when they opened to discuss the order. First of all, they are only open Friday and Saturdays from 11 to 4 - due to Covid, which I can understand. However, when I called, they told me they were booked for that date with two weddings...the date is a month away. I can't understand why they could not make a cake with that much notice - and have it available for pickup on the Saturday I requested. Very disappointing. read more

Brittany was amazing to work with! The cupcakes were delicious! Everyone got the flavor they wanted. It was a pleasure to work with her! read more

Beautiful display case! Great desserts to go! There are always items using seasonal ingredients. I stop in when ever I get a chance.

My sister's wedding is scheduled for this Saturday and her previous wedding cake baker was concerned she wouldn't be able to bake the cake because of the PG&E power outages. I reached out to Brittney and even though she was out of power and already booked for the weekend, she was willing to take on the challenge and find a way to make a cake for my sister. I was so impressed with her promptness and willingness to make things work in a less than ideal situation. The original baker ended up finding a way to bake the cake, but had she not, I have no doubt we would have been thrilled with Brittney's work. Thank you for helping us in this unexpected situation. We will certainly be visiting your shop! read more

We were invited to a friend's house for dinner and we said that we would bring dessert. Not being from the area we searched Yelp for bakeries. I wanted to bring something special and the offerings listed online seemed to meet my desires. I had figured on buying a tart, figuring that a standard sized tart would be enough to serve four people. When we got to the bakery I was disappointed to see that the tarts were small for individual portions. They seemed to me to be a bit pricey for the size. We ended up getting three desserts (chocolate almond tart, cheesecake, and Black Forest mousse) to share four ways. They were delicious. Sweet Affair is more appropriate for a sweet treat while exploring Fort Bragg or pre-ordering something larger for a special occasion, but not for our intentions of a gift of dessert on the way to dinner. read more

This bakery is by far the best bakery I've ever been too! Any time I go to Fort Bragg I make it a priority to stop here because everything is so delicious! Recently I got the olive oil cake, chocolate almond tart and some eclairs. The olive oil cake had a passion fruit custard on top that was to die for! The chocolate almond tar was so smooth and creamy. And the eclairs are out of this world! Every time I've been there I have to get more than one because they are just that good! I can not express how delicious everything there is! If you've never been here go now! And not to mention everyone there is so sweet and their new location is very charming! read more

Tasty treats, lemon tart was too sour, and cupcakes were a little too dense for my taste. My kids enjoyed their macaroons and everything was very pretty. read more

So far we have shared: The Cheesecake, the Chocolate Almond Tart, the Lemon Curd Tart (my favorite so far), a Snickers cupcake and numerous Macarons. (NOT to be confused with macaroons). Looking forward to our next visit since we live here in Fort Bragg..Yeah!!! Lucky us!!! read more

They managed to fit us in for our last minute wedding cake request, which in itself was something we were very grateful for. Brittney asked me to send over some images of what I was thinking and I sent her some Gorgeous cakes I found on Pinterest in the hopes she could find some inspiration and do something that was within our price range. I could not believe it when the cakes arrived looking unbelievable and perfect together, almost exactly like the 3 favorite Pinterest cakes and yet somehow unified as a trio. I was absolutely blown away by how gorgeous they were, but I did not anticipate how delicious they would be! We had one of the cakes made vegan and one of them made gluten-free and Our guests of all dietary persuasions enjoyed every one of them. Perfect flavors! read more

My family and I decided to take a weekend trip to Fort Bragg and visit the glass beach. Since this was to celebrate our daughter's birthday we looked for a local place to get a cake. A Sweet Affair was one of the few places we could find and my expectations were not very high. Instead of getting a cake we decided to get an assortment of individual desserts. I'm sure glad we did, because we were caught off guard, in a good way, by some treats that we wouldn't have had otherwise. All the items were very good, but a few were really amazing. So much so that we not only went back a second time on this short trip, but would probably consider making the three hour trip on a slow weekend to pickup some more. These include the vanilla cupcake (now my favorite anywhere), the cookies and creme cupcake (now my other favorite) and the orange creamsicle creme brûlée (embarrassed to say we ate 4 of these damn things!). The baker, who has a pretty respectable resume, displays a great passion and talent in her treats. read more
