We stopped by a few minutes later and the bakery is beautiful. The owner took the time to explain the cakes and showed us photos of the insides. We ordered a Napoleon and Strawberry Cake (with farmer's cheese) for next day pick up. Both were big hits at the party and everyone is looking forward to the next event so we have a reason to order another cake! Highlights: - Next day pick up for cakes - Aesthetically pleasing and delicious - Very helpful staff - Priced right ($50-$75/cake - enough for at 10 people, easily)

Everything was great, but the tart was my favorite , perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. While we were ordering our sweets to go, I also got a Turkish coffee to enjoy inside. It was first served in a small paper cup, probably a simple misunderstanding, and I sounded a bit disappointed. The owner immediately made a fresh one and brought it in a proper cup. It was excellent, rich, strong, and full of flavor. Great pastries, great coffee, and truly caring service. Highly recommend this place!

When I needed to plan for my daughter's birthday, it was a no-brainer. Kaylyn was super communicative and helpful; I sent photos of my daughter's party invitation and she did the rest in terms of design. It was simply spectacular! Gorgeous beyond what I could even imagine. She was also helpful in discussing amounts (size of cake, amount of cupcakes, servings and leftovers) to make sure we had plenty without overdoing it. She never tried to get me to order more or spend more, which I respected. The morning of pickup, Kaylyn sent me abundant photos and videos of the cake and cupcakes and I was blown away! She was flexible with pickup at her house, provided cake cutting instructions and storage tips, and made the whole process easy. We received a ton of compliments at the party on how gorgeous the cake and cupcakes were, and the flavors were a hit! As delicious to the tummy as they are to the eye! I will definitely be using Sweetcheeks for our family parties going forward!

***4 1/2 stars** I'm…read morenot sure how crazy I am about this place being a few blocks from where I live, but I suppose that's not Mo & Jay's fault. I've been aware of this bakery/pastry establishment for a few years (I think it showed up in this relatively new apartment building on Main Street two or three years ago), but hadn't actually thought to go inside until yesterday morning. I was entrusted with obtaining a dessert for a weekend BBQ, and it occurred to me that this was at least the easiest spot to quickly grab something. The fact that the desserts were extremely good ended up being a pleasant accident/bonus. I brought one of my top tier chums to assist with the purchase. From very brief research, it seemed like the eclairs were the big selling point here. I thought it would also be a little wily on my part to get them because I tend to not enjoy eating food that has stuff in it, and figured I'd be unlikely to do anything too naughty with that. That turned out not to be accurate, but I digress. We got the five for $25 éclair deal, and procured a raspberry, a lemon meringue, a nutella, a pistachio and a cookies & cream. Just as we were about to wrap up, I also impulsively grabbed a cheddar/bacon scone, which was humongous and understandably caught my eye. The eclairs were definitely a hit. My personal favorite was the cookies & cream. The flavor was incredibly on point, and it was almost like a meta ice cream experience. The only issue with that one specifically was that the cream inside was runnier than the other pastries, which made it a little messy. Not a huge deal. The runner-up was probably the raspberry for me. Again, extremely flavorful, almost to a fault - it was overwhelmingly tart, which is obviously kind of a calling card for raspberries but if you're not into that, I'd stay away. The nutella was actually a little on the bland side for me but not bad. The lemon meringue was a big hit for everyone else, but I'm not a huge fan of that flavor to begin with - I don't think that's a mark against this place by any means. In hindsight, we probably wouldn't have gotten the pistachio, but none of us are hardcore pistachio fans. The cream consistency and dough for all of these was very high quality, and understandably a lot of this is going to come down to how you feel about specific flavors. In a final twist later on, I sampled the scone around dinner time and was very pleasantly surprised - the scone was very moist and tasty, and was reminiscent of a Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuit, though probably at least twice the size and with actual pieces of bacon in it. Very strong recommend on that front. The service was very good. We had a pleasant female cashier assisting us as my chum was literally squatting on the ground eagerly peering into the display case squealing out flavors to get. Zero issues there, and we were in and out within a few minutes uneventfully. There were also a lot of cakes and other types of pastries, so I expect I'll be returning shortly to obtain their assistance with another BBQ.

You know it's a real deal Italian bakery when they don't fill the cannolis until you order them! Prices are reasonable for what you get.
