After the Hapeville Art Stroll, we went to dinner then took a walk along buzzing Central Ave. We saw the cutest bakery still open and because I have an insane sweet tooth, we decided to stop in. The staff was cheerful and friendly from the door. My eyes fixated on the carrot cupcakes. We got three of those and also a sweet potato pie tart. I'm a fan! Carrot cake that is clearly made from scratch. Fresh, moist, a perfect balance of flavor and spice, and truly homemade buttercream frosting. Omg. I want to go back already. $4.50 a cupcake. The bill was $23 for 4 treats. Not bad at all. They had an assortment of fresh baked cookies too. I have to try the oatmeal read more

Buttersweet Bakery - Carrot Cupcake (Fall/Winters Season-Sept thru March) Go get it! - Bakeries Near Me - Hapeville, Georgia

The cutest shop, full of wonderful decor and colors and charm. The service was excellent, friendly and helpful. I was so busy looking at all the treats that I didn't get any pictures. I tried all the cookies and they were outstanding (chocolate chip pecan, sugar, oatmeal, peanut butter). Can't wait to come back and try more deliciousness ! read more

Great deserts, warm service & good location. They offer a wide variety of baked goods. I got the pineapple coconut tart & my wife got the cream cheese brownie. There is adequate seating but it was obvious that have a robust take out business. read more

Buttersweet Bakery - Sweet counter - Bakeries Near Me - Hapeville, Georgia

Let me tell y'all how fate works. I was sitting in my Airbnb craving something sweet but absolutely refusing to drive more than five minutes. I stumbled across Buttersweet Bakery on North Central Avenue and honey, it was like a sugar siren calling my name. The charm of the place lured me right in and I walked through those doors fully prepared to commit a crime against a Key Lime Cupcake. Plot twist: they were sold out. But fear not, because the sweetest lady behind the counter said, "Try the Lemon Cupcake." And listen, that Lemon Cupcake was summertime in a wrapper. Bright, zesty, a little pick-me-up for my soul. I also grabbed a Red Velvet Cupcake because I don't play games when it comes to dessert variety. The Red Velvet was delicious and gave what it was supposed to give. But wait. Somebody call CNN, alert the media, and get me a press conference because the real headline here is the Cookie Cheesecake Bar. I came in for a cupcake and left in a committed relationship with this bar. Cookie base, cheesecake topping, mysterious magic in the middle. Not too sweet, just the perfect balance. I could not put it down. At one point I had to physically remove it from my own reach like it was toxic because I was about to inhale the entire thing in one sitting. The vibes? Pure hometown bakery magic. Someone was working remotely at a table. Another person was there with their child enjoying a treat. The décor felt like walking into grandma's kitchen--complete with a Barbie case full of vintage dolls and news articles celebrating the owner's success. Kitschy, charming, and heartwarming all in one. The staff? Sweet as pie and twice as comforting. The owner's touch is everywhere and you can feel the love baked into every item. From cookies to cupcakes to those world-stopping cheesecake bars, it's clear this bakery is a community treasure. Would I recommend? Absolutely. Would I come back? Without question. And next time, Key Lime Cupcake, you and I have unfinished business. read more

Great choices, wonderful service and my friends loved the sweet treats. The owner was behind the counter and she is what you look for in a local bakery. Baked goodies that seem like my family made it. If you need something sweet- don't hesitate, just go! read more

Attended a private birthday celebration here. The ambiance was verrry nice ... smooth Jazz ... sophisticated crowd and ohhh the sweets were decadent!!! Great spot to have a cup of Java and a scrumptious pastry. The challenge will be what to choose! Recommendation: yes, give it a try! read more

Wanted a sweet dessert after dinner and randomly landed on this place. The decor was super cute. It has such a fun vibe with all the bright colors and fun pieces of decor. The service was fast and we were in and out. I ordered the key lime tart and it was okay, I can't really complain but it wasn't amazing. Perhaps I would go and try something else if I'm ever back in Atlanta and on that side of town. They have cupcakes, pies, and tarts. read more

Cute place! The cupcakes were ready for pick up when I arrived. I made the mistake of putting them in the refrigerator, so they seemed a little dry. But when we let them become room temperature they were delicious! read more

Terrific independent business with delightful treats and bakery items. Staff is always helpful with weekly suggestions. A must see go-to location read more

This is one of my favorite bakeries in Atlanta. I discovered it a few years ago when working nearby and try to go every time I'm in the area. I don't really like cakes and cookies, but pound cake is one of my favorite desserts, along with sweet potato pie, so I always go for one or both of those! The sweet potato pie is seasonal though, only available in the fall. I've always experienced good customer service and have never had a bad dessert from there. I'll continue frequenting this place whenever I'm nearby! read more

Delicious cupcakes, brownies and cookies and such lovely owners! I will definitely be back often

Is this baker out of business? I called several times and no one answered OR returned my call. So disappointed!

I cannot say enough good things about Buttersweet! The shop is adorable and everything we've tried is delicious. Most recently, Charlita accommodated a rush order for a red velvet birthday cake and even opened for me to pick it up on a Monday. The cake was absolutely divine-- rich cream cheese frosting with moist fluffy cake it is the best red velvet we've ever had! I can't wait to place another order for our next special occasion! read more

I was headed to my nail appointment at Bliss when I saw this cute little bakery! I was promptly greeted by the owner, who was so warm and kind. I opted to get a vanilla cupcake and a water bottle, which was about $5. It was so so moist and delicious!! I know gourmet cupcakes are more pricey, so I know the price would be a bit higher than a regular Publix cupcake. I would definitely come back here!! read more

I love bringing my daughter here when she has a good day after school. Lol it's also a treat for me. They baked her custom birthday cake when she was 2 (now 4) and I haven't stopped coming back since! Also for the custom cake, I showed her a picture and that's all she needed!!! Her cake was better than the picture. read more

How can I forget about one of my favorite bakeries in the world! It a been a while, but I have been coming to this place for years. I love the lemon bar. The service is always 10 out of 10. I love the downtown Hapeville area, the shop has a little retro store from vibe. Please do yourself a favor and try them out! read more

Drove all the way over here after I saw all the yummy pictures on yelp. Yelp site says open till 5 PM on Saturday. Get there at 3:15 and sign says closed. See a girl sitting inside there and shakes her head no. So I called the number and get an answering machine that also states they are open till 5 PM on Saturday. Nice to know. read more

This place is my favorite bakery near Atlanta. I absolutely fell in LOVE with their smiley bars (you have to try them) and also their pineapple upside down mini cake. It is very delicious and well worth your dime! The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The sweet aroma of treats will fill your nostrils from the outside. The inside of the bakery is decorated very nice. 10/10. I definitely recommend. read more

Such a charming place with outstanding baked goods. Love this place anytime but when you have a special event, Darrell will make sure you have an excellent looking and tasting product. Just love Buttersweet! supertrooper said it. read more

I've been searching for the BEST cupcake in Atlanta. I think I've found it! The red velvet cupcake AND icing was delish. Not sure about those hours though, they close at 5, ugh. Didn't effect the rating! read more

Ive been to this spot a few times and each time someone went out of their way to enhance my experience. I appreciate the great customer service but especially love the delish goods! My favorite is the coffee bar. I dream about it! Lol read more

Mmmmmmm good. I love the cupcakes. I got strawberry and red velvet, both were delish. Got an extra for a friend. She may not get hers. This is truly testing our friendship. read more

Poor customer service. They act like you shouldn't even come in. Boring looking desserts on display. They act like owning a bakery is something we should praise them for. I'm surprised this place has been open for so long. Really rude. Unwelcoming. Ugly character. Lock your doors and put a sign up that says "go away" if you don't want people coming in. read more

I regularly visit Buttersweet and Tiffany is definitely my favorite person here. I have an affinity for INCREDIBLE Red Velvet Cupcakes. I have sampled just about every flavor they make here and by far the Red Velvet is my favorite. Key Lime and Chocolate make a respectable strong finish. I have relatives out of town who love the KEY LIME...they rave about the flavor and moistness of the cake. Parking for me has never been a problem, if you are looking for easy parking go to Kroger on Cleveland Ave. It is huge and the cupcakes are not as good! Stop complaining about frivolous and enjoy the cupcake...and have a BUTTERSWEET DAY! read more

I absolutely love this place! I was introduced to Buttersweet bakery through an event at my job. It was one of those experiences where you bite into the cake and immediately ask, "WHO MADE THIS!?" because you are so impressed. Since finding out about this bakery, I have used them on several occasions and they never disappoint! The staff is also very kind and accommodating. My favorite is the strawberry cake :) read more

I love this neighborhood bakery! The wife & husband are a great duo. She's the mastermind behind the delish sweet treats & he's personable with an outgoing spirit & always ready to engage in a good 'ole conversation. The colorful vibe inside the store makes you feel alive. The wide selection of cupcakes, cakes, cookies, lemon bars, brownies, & much more will satisfy your sweet tooth. The key lime cupcake is to die for! The lemon bars are my favorite-not too tart, but just right with a light crust. The rewards program is a bonus and once all spots are filled gets you a free half dozen cupcakes. You will quickly fill your card because you'll keep coming back for more. They'll be sure to surprise you with new creations like the strawberry cookie or blue velvet cupcake. Need I say more?! The prices are fair. Free street and nearby lot parking are available. They offer Uber pick-up. If you're in the Hapeville area you must stop in and meet the owners, support a small local business, enjoy a special sweet treat! read more

This pretty little bakery with it's pretty little baked goods is severly lacking in anything else. A pretty little, rotten attitude, no greeting, no thank you, no cash and no receipts. I will give it a one star rating for it's baked goods and one star for it's decor and nothing more Support local businesses that return the courtesy! read more

I came and had a lovely red velvet cupcake which was absolutely amazing. Thanks Tonaye. read more

The chocolate chip cookies are amazing. So is the Sweet Georgie Brownie. Good lord, it's delicious.

So you've been invited to a dinner party and you offer to bring a dessert. You've exhausted your "stop by Kroger on the way there for a halfway tasty dessert" option and are looking for something a little more special. That's when you need to visit Buttersweet Bakery in Hapeville. I got a small assortment of the most decadent desserts I've ever had, and my friends at the dinner party agreed. I got (1) brownies--absolutely heavenly--very dark, deep chocolate flavor with a hint of coffee; (2) Emma-doodles--named after the owner's daughter--these are like magic cookie bars with coconut and chocolate chips; and (3) fruit tarts which were light and fresh with a wonderful assortment of kiwi, blueberries, orange and strawberries on top. I had the pleasure of talking with the owner Charlita for a few minutes while she carefully prepared my box of goodies. She was very pleasant and made it a point to get to know me, a local patron and Hapeville citizen. I love the decor--a bright and whimsical design with a hint of antique. Very welcoming and different for the Hapeville area. read more

You know, I went to Buttersweet about 2 or 3 years ago and thought the baked goods were below average. A brownie there was flat out disgusting. But time passes and they still have a cumulative four stars on Yelp - a likely indication that it should be pretty good. So was my first visit just an off day? Or perhaps they Buttersweet originally sucked, but has improved over the years? Well, I can confirm it wasn't just an off day. I went back over the weekend and picked up three items. I think the owner's taste and mine do not align. The desserts here are overly sweet and overly greasy. The reason for their moistness is too much fat - whether it be oil or butter. I realize moistness is a desirable characteristic in most baked goods, but not to the point of leaving behinds gobs of excess. I just think their ratios are off - use less sugar (and more brown) and more flower or less fat. The staff there is extremely friendly and helpful, but that just can't make up for the not-so-great sweets. read more

I have had the honor of eating baked goods from Buttersweet Bakery for years. The owner Charlita gives you that personal touch. No order too small or too difficult. The Key Lime and Red Velvet cupcakes are so, so good!!! I remember the raspberry cake she made for me...I can still taste it. My daughter love the brownies and whenever my niece is in town from Mississippi, she always go by the bakery and take goodies home with her. We had a great Super Bowl and birthday cake aNd just recently we had a dozen cupcakes that were out of this world. Thank you, Buttersweet for satisfying our sweet tooth. I need a small raspberry cake for no reason!!! Charlita, I will be calling you soon. read more

I have really enjoyed this bakery over the past 2-3 years. The owner is usually there and will come out to speak with you, if she isn't already the person taking your order. I have had several items from this bakery. My favorites are the Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter and Oatmeal cookies. I also love the Chocolate cake and I tried either a Red Velvet or Strawberry cake. I think Red Velvet but it's been a couple of years. I also really like the Brownies as well.....So far everything has been fresh, moist and delicious! This is the best Bakery on this side of town. read more

The Chocolate chip & pecan cookie was DELICIOUS. I had a chocolate cupcake and my husband had marble. When I asked if he looked it, he said it was "super good". The cake was so most and the icing was fluffy and not too sweet. The Chocolate brownie will be consumed later with my husband but the sampler I had in the store was too good to not endulge. I'll definitely be back read more

This is the first time that I've come in this little gem. I got an assortment of treats for a nearby customer. I couldn't get out of the place without something for me which was a coconut bar with all sorts of delicious ingredients in it. The Owner is a delight and made sure to tell me to come back again. I will!!!! read more

Its a really cute bakery...its really bright and cheery! I went to grab a couple cookies and a brownie. I didn't really like the brownie, but the chocolate chip cookies were freshly baked and tasted oh so good! They have a lot of different goodies for you to choose from which are shown in the pics I took. read more

Grabbed a pecan tart and a brownie after getting my Thai next door (one for now, one for later was the plan). The mini pecan pie was great - sweet and rich and real. The brownie was insanely good. I wish I had gotten more, but lucky I didn't. The shop was neat and clean and you can see right back into the kitchen that looked the same. Small case with a good selection of treats and some drinks. The woman behind the counter was nice and seemed tired at the end of the day. Far from being offended in any way, I figured she was the baker, but I didn't ask. Next time I will. read more

I love the Buttersweet Bakery staff in downtown Hapeville. They're all VERY fun, engaging in the few moments you're there and they're definitely not against selecting a chocolate chip cookie with extra chips when you're tell them you're a C.Chip cookie fiend. Customer service alone is worth 5 stars. Now on to the food. I got a chocolate chip cookie and was so amazed at the presentation of the red velvet cupcakes, I ordered one of those too. The cupcake, before my teeth sank into it, had me salivating. Afterwards, must admit it was just "okay", not quite the deliciousness I was anticipating. The frosting didn't have as much of a cream cheesy tang as I would like, although the cake itself was pretty moist, definite plus! The chocolate chip, I ate much later, and true enough, there was a ton of chocolate chips, but it was a little small, although the price of both weren't terrible, as I walked away paying under 4 bucks. Interior was very clean and intimate, no indoor seating (that I remember) and parking is along the street, which gets a little tough to find a close spot during lunch times. I think Buttersweet is a nice little addition to Hapeville if you have a sweet tooth with a great staff and good dessert. read more
