I was in need of something to bring to a potluck and I had just flown in from Minnesota, so I didn't have ingredients to make anything from scratch. I refuse to ever just bring chips or buy something from a restaurant chain. I've had individual slices of the Coconut Key Lime cake from Hometown Sweets every time I'm been to AMI the last 4 years, and lived it, so I ordered an entire cake. In an age when a lot of people don't eat sweets, this cake was devoured! I had several ask where I got it and am sending them your way. If you aren't sure if you shoukd try it or buy a whole cake, DO IT! The only regret you may have is that you didn't order a larger cake! read more

We got this cake last minute for our son's 16th birthday in Anna Maria Island. The cake flavor was good. Frosting was a little on the sweet side. It's a cute and welcoming bakery on the island. The service was good. read more

This is a must stop when you are in Anna Marie Island, Florida. Hometown Desserts is my go-to place to get the best cake and desserts. Hometown Desserts are best known for their Key Lime Coconut cake. The cake is moist and has a light fluffy key like flavor. The frosting is fluffy and filled with sweet coconut. Cute, beach atmosphere with a few tables and chairs to enjoy your dessert. read more

This place is super cute and has unique flavors... coconut keylime cake and (my favorite) orange cream cake. I struggled to not wolf it down. Lady behind the counter was SO NICE and explained how everything is freshly baked in-house and gave me a peek at the kitchen where the owner was, at that very moment, creating deliciousness. :) read more

I got my birthday cake here one year and it was adorable and delicious. They have great selections and the cake is extremely moist and tasty! I'm a big fan of their icing and I love their cupcakes to go that you can also get at the general store. It is a cute spot and one of a kind on AMI. read more

Being a lover of GREAT coffee and not tons of syrup... we found this little gem. A wonderful iced latte every day. And it was perfection. And don't get me started on their key lime coconut cake! Wow. Friendly barista! read more

Great coffee- key lime coconut blew my mind! We had the original keylime coconut cake and the chocolate cake, OHHHH EMMMM GEEEE! All the ladies that work here are just as cute as the vibe. Can't wait to return on our next vacay! read more

Amazing service, extremely sweet!! The atmosphere is just adorable! We got a slice of carrot cake and coffee, and I can wholeheartedly say it was the best carrot cake I've ever had!! read more

Ahhh, their key lime coconut cake really IS the best!! It's so amazing that sadly, I never try any of the other baked goods! They all look delicious! Make sure you make this your first stop when you're on Anna Maria!! read more

Hometown Desserts made a beautiful wedding cake and a stunning array of bite-sized desserts for our wedding reception that were a huge hit! The beach-themed cake and shell-shaped cookies were simply beautiful - and delicious. Cindy is so easy to work with, and even made our cake and special cupcakes gluten free as my stepdaughter has celiac. read more

We got our wedding cake from here in 2015 and have enjoyed the treats from here any chance we get! If you are visiting Anna Maria Island, the store is located on Pine Ave, it's pretty much AMI's "Main Street". The shop is cute and serves a pretty good coffee as well. My wife is a big fan of the key lime pie and the coconut cake is my favorite. The mix of tropical flavors and a moist cake or creamy pie make for a perfect vacation sweet treat! read more

We stopped in because of all of the great reviews and were glad we did! We had to try a few items so we got the Key Lime pie, Key Lime coconut cake, a bourbon pecan pie bar and a salted caramel praline brownie. I really wanted to try the cake first so we did lol. It was so yummy! Moist but not wet if that makes sense. Great flavor and understand why so many love it! The key lime pie was the best we had while visiting. Both the bar and brownie were delicious too! Service was awesome as well. The ladies there were so nice and even gave us lunch suggestions to try. We'll definitely be back if we ever return to the island! Give them a try! You'll be glad you did!! read more

Service and food were perfect! Would recommend the key lime coconut cake and key lime pie. Both were large enough slices to share. It was very clean and organized and the location was in walking distance of the beach and other shops. read more

Cute shop - I was looking for gluten free deserts. Unfortunately this is not a place I would recommend for it. Texture is super weird and extremely dry. We had a gluten free vanilla and chocolate. At one cold and one we sat it for a bit and both were extremely crumbly and dry. read more

Cindy (the owner) is a gem on Anna Maria Island! Her cake artistry is unbelievable - had to add the picture because it was unbelievable! Every part of the cake was not only edible, but absolutely delicious! You need not travel anywhere else for the best bakery around! Thank you so much Cindy for making the perfect cake for our party! read more

We stopped in this morning to have pie/cake for breakfast because we're on vacation! Based on other reviews, we got a slice of key lime pie and a slice of coconut lime cake. I'm going to start with the cake. My husband loves coconut, but isn't a huge sweets person. He devoured the cake in minutes!!! I'm not a huge coconut fan, but had to try a taste for research purposes of course. LOL! The cake was moist with a nice balance of coconut and lime flavors. Not overly sweet. Delicious! The key lime pie was also 5 stars in my book! Tart but not puckery tart...just right...almost like a lime custard or curd on top of a delicate graham cracker crust. Mmmm!!! The only think I would have done differently is visit this cute shop earlier in my trip so I could have eaten more pie! Check it out, you won't be disappointed! You can order by the slice like we did or they also sell whole pies and cakes. We'll be back on our next visit! read more

The absolute best coconut cake ever. I dream about this cake when I go home after vacationing here in Anna. I promise I want this place to create my wedding cake one day. They're truly the best ever. read more

5 Stars for their incredible Coconut layer cake I had the pleasure of trying at Beach House restaurant. Again- I haven't been to this location, but I was dining at Beach House down on Anna Maria and they highly recommended the coconut layer cake. Our table devoured it and even got another serving to-go for later. We were blown away by the rich and moist texture as well as the fresh coconut flavor. When we asked about it, our server let us know the cakes were made locally by Hometown Desserts and that they were a definite fan-favorite. Besides that, he said he loved them so much that he and his wife had them make their wedding cake! Overall, if the rest of their desserts are like this coconut cake, I have found a new favorite bakery. Now if only they had a location in Orlando! ;) read more

I never went here before going cake tasting. After meeting Cindy and getting our wedding cake (and other sweets) from Hometown Desserts, I have to come here on every visit to get a slice of Key Lime Coconut Cake. I'm still not a big coconut cake fan and the only place I get coconut cake is here because it's the best. They have other kinds of cakes and pies, but the coconut cake is a must on first visit. read more

Overall: Nice clean place with very friendly service. Food: 3.75 stars- PB pie was very smooth and strawberry cake was strawberry with buttercream icing. The pie was definitely the better of the two desserts we ordered. Service: 4 stars- Warmly greeting upon entry. Was very helpful in describing what each dessert was made of and with and what was favorites. Environment: 4 stars- Cute place that was very clean, minimal additional stuff so your focus is on what they have to offer and spacious. Seating inside and outside a plus. read more

What a great bakery! I was vacationing with my sisters in Anna Maria Island, and I had planned on baking a cake, but there was no room in my suitcase for everything I would need to make it, so I found Hometown Desserts online and called to ask if she could make a cake, and I would do my own decorations. Cindy was so helpful, and made the most amazing 3 layer raspberry vanilla truffle cake. I had to admit that it was much better than any cake I have ever made. She used a lovely cream cheese frosting and raspberry between the layers, and a really delicious lightly sweet whipped cream frosting on the outside. The cake was a hit. Not overly sweet or heavy, just perfect! Actually... this was the best cake I have ever had. read more

Worth the trip from across the country for the coconut key lime cake!! It is AMAZING We get it every time we are in the island read more

My wife read some reviews and "made me" take her . She had the Coconut Cake and I had this delicious Key Lime Coconut Cake (sorry - I ate it before it I took a picture). Both were very fresh and tasty. We also got flavored iced coffee, which was perfect for a hot day. This place is a little bit hidden, but well worth looking for. Enjoy! read more

Had to stop by and try Hometown Desserts. It is a very cute quaint shop in Anna Maria Island. I chose their key lime coconut cake to go. We had it the next day and it was super moist and had a perfect mix of key lime and coconut. They also have a nice selection at the Anna Maria Island General Store. Just in case Hometown Desserts is closed go there. Definitely, this is one of those must stop places when on AMI! read more

Every winter during my stay on AMI, my FIRST stop was to Hometown Desserts. Had to stock up on the delicious scones (I always bought a dozen) & Coconut Key Lime Cake. The cake is like no other-so very moist & smooth. Cindy Tut is a marvelous baker & person. read more

Very mediocre cake. The cake itself taste 100% like one that you would make yourself from a box, possibly worse. For $40. The staff and the ambiance were 10/10, the ordering and pickup experience were great. But the cake itself went mostly uneaten because it just didn't taste good :/ read more

Walked into this cute little dessert shop Ordered iced coffee and yummy cookies delicious read more

Delicious scones!! Light and buttery! Cookies to die for!!! I will be back on my next trip!!

The best key lime pie I've ever had!! And the chocolate chip cookies have so much chocolate it's amazing!! So worth a visit :))

Holy shit they fucked this cake up. Cake did not look anything like advertisement, the flavor was wrong, no refund or anything was offered and she was beyond rude. Do not recommend this place, look elsewhere. read more

So good and such a great experience ordering. Cindy was so sweet and the cake was exactly what I hoped it would be. Really beautiful and delish. read more

Great place! Ordered a blueberry scone, and a iced vanilla coffee. The scone was outstanding. The coffee was also great.

Everything we've tried so far has been delicious! We sampled their cake truffles when we stopped in, the chocolate and lime were our favorites. Brought home slices of key lime coconut and strawberry cake. Both were very good but the key lime coconut is the clear favorite in this household! In the few minutes we were there, 2 customers came in to buy their whole key lime pies. So we have 2 slices of their key lime pie to try, too! read more
