I visited Sweet Life after getting a facial. I loooove cake so stopping in was a no brainer! I looove red velvet cake, so I got a red velvet cake jar, cupcake and due to checking in on Yelp a free Red velvet cookie (i know, OD red velvet) & I got my Fiancé a carrot cake jar. At first glance I thought the jars were very cool and a different twist on slices, however, once I had a moment to dig into it, the icing was a bit too sweet for me. Now, make no mistake, I'm going to eat it all, just wish the jars had more cake than icing. The cupcake is definitely more my speed! Easy to remove the icing if need be & you get a generous amount of cake! The cookie was delish also! I did get to try my Fiancé's carrot cake jar which was very good! Service was great & the cake was tasty! read more

Treat yourself to something sweet at It's a Sweet Life! I noticed the small shop after a visit to Playa Bowls down the street and stopped in for a sweet treat. Dog friendly! Love that I can just pop in with my pup to pick up desserts to go. They also sell pupcakes of you're so inclined. I decided on a red velvet jar cake which amounted to the equivalent of a big slice of cake. The cake was quite sweet but was everything a moist red velvet cake should be. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a sweet treat to bring home to the fam or plan on indulging on by yourself! read more

We were very disappointed with the wedding cake you provided. The gluten free top tier was so hard and crusty it was practically inedible. The cake itself was not what was discussed. The pink and blue colors mixed for the cake did not match the multiple images, including the invitation, which was provided of the Bride and Groom's crest. The cake was not white, as discussed, but a very yellow-tinted cream. The cake was Bride's special "thing," which is why we splurged on the cake. It was absolutely heartbreaking when we viewed it, especially given that it was placed as the focal point when guests entered the venue. A grocery store cake would have looked better. The quality of work you gave us looked like a different decorator's than that showcased on your website and social media. A lot of thought and effort was put into the cake choices and design, as well as follow-up conversations with Amie to confirm the design. Nonetheless, the cake looked and tasted vastly different than expected and discussed. While the Groom's cake was satisfactory, the cake that the Bride dreamed her whole life for, so much so that it was strategically made a major focal point of the wedding, was a disheartening disappointment. read more

ATROCIOUS! DO NOT BUY FROM HERE. I placed my order and although the employees are kinds they higher up are not professional and communicative.

Located on the corner of one of the side shops of the Halcyon, this little quaint shop definitely needs some more care and attention. We were greeted by an employee at the register, and checked out their display of cupcakes, cookies, and cakes that are made into custom designs that were on display. It is very clean (as it should be considering its brand new) but there's not much of a selection. There's also nowhere to sit, napkins or utensils provided when I got my order. The owner/head manager was there, never had a smile or even greeted us, and was not friendly at all during our encounter. I would honestly go as far to say a little rude and irritated we were even there. The employee at the cash register was way more nicer w a smile on her face. I got a red velvet cupcake and a chocolate covered Oreo. The cupcake was so small, and based on steep price of $3.75, this should have been the best cupcake of my life. It was the worst. My 4 year old even spit it out. It was hard, dry, and you could feel it to touch and upon opening it up, it was obvious it wasn't fresh and didn't taste good. Even the icing was hard and seemed like it had been out for awhile. So disappointing. The Oreo $3 was great, good tasting chocolate, and pretty perfect on presentation as well as thickness of the chocolate to cookie ratio. We had to walk to the middle of the courtyard at the halcyon to try the food and ask for a napkin and utensils from other establishments, which is kind of annoying when it should have been provided already for me. The cupcake was so bad, I didn't even want to go back to let them know based on how the owner seemed at the shop (very uninviting) They would have gotten a zero on the cupcake but because it was clean, Oreo was good, and I haven't tried their specialty cakes, I gave a 1 star for room of improvement. read more

We have visited this bakery at the Halcyon Farmers Market and their actual storefront location and have had great experiences in both instances. Their shop is super clean and they have the cutest little consultation room for personalized orders, too! We have had the cookies and the cake in a jar and really enjoyed both of them! Our favorite cake in a jar is the white chocolate raspberry + carrot cake! I'm surprised about the reviews below mentioning poor customer service, because I actually experienced the exact opposite! The front cashier was super friendly and at the farmers market they are super attentive even with a big crowd! read more

This bakery is amazing! I actually found them by way of my spouse who got some cupcakes from them at his job. We needed a cake vendor for our vow renewal and decided to try them out. The cake tasting was fun and organized. There is a separate room for this and we tried a variety of flavors, all were amazing. We never went to any other cake tastings as we decided to choose them that day. We then needed a Sweet 16 cake for our niece bortjday. She was visiting from the Bahamas ans wanted a specific cake. They got it done for us and it was a hit. They are very talented. I am so excited to have found them. read more

Such a cute little bakery in Halcyon! They have a display case for takeout treats and they do custom cake orders with some of the beautiful sample cakes displayed. I decided to pickup a treat while shopping at Halcyon and everything looked really good. I went with the Halloween themed cake pop for $4. It was a tasty cake pop, great flavor and consistency. Just a bit pricy in my opinion. read more

Amanda helped me lock in my order for my daughter's pre-k graduation cake. I sent her a photo, told her the flavor request and how many people. She responded quickly and with a very fair price. My mom picked it up day of, and someone helped her by carrying it to the car and ensuring it was safe from getting messed up. The cake was beautiful AND delicious. It wasn't dry at all. I couldn't stop eating the leftovers . I highly recommend this bakery to everyone! read more

Run, don't walk to this locally owned bakery and sample their delicious offerings. Their cake jars are just enough to satisfy any sweet tooth and their giant cookies will make you stand up and cheer. If you are planning an event then order one of their specialty cakes. The artistry is fantastic and the taste matches the beauty. This is not your Publix cake so expect to pay for the artwork but you won't be disappointed. Absolutely delicious. read more

If you are looking for the absolute best wedding cake of your life, It's a Sweet Life bakery is a MUST. We met with Amanda to do a tasting and instantly knew we had found the right place. The flavor combinations were so delicious that we went with 4 different flavor combinations (1 for each tier of the cake). Lastly, we had discussed with Amanda that we didn't want a boring white cake and she absolutely blew us away with the detail on the cake. She did individual flowers with icing the whole way up the cake and they perfectly matched our floral wedding theme. I cried when I saw it delivered into the venue. All of our guests raved about the cake all night long and I would recommend them to anyone looking! read more

Been supporting this company for years. However, within the last few times I've ordered they seem to use being extremely busy as an excuse for mediocre products. I was told, "we're really busy this time of year, we just had someone quit, or this part of the season is always slammed". I shared my concern with both Amie and Amanda, their position and attitude was about the same, unbothered. Their stance was take this basic effortless option or leave it. It's fine, though. I will take my business and loyalty someplace that understands the importance of humility. read more

The place is nice. The people were friendly and my daughter was super excited to bring some macarons home. After lunch from Never Enough Thyme (great place) we went home as she couldn't wait to try the million dollar cookie. I mean with what they charged, they'd have to fresh and spectacular. Unfortunately, these cookies have been sitting around awhile and were stale. They tasted like refrigeration. With so many cake options out there, I'm afraid they've lost my business. On the other hand it should make for good pool conversation. read more

Cookies are beautiful but tastes very very dry and basic. They weren't horrible, but you can't expect people to want a cookie just because it's pretty. You may sell them once but people will not return if the flavor is this basic and dry. Redo your recipe and keep these cookies fresh. At $5 a cookie they should taste like a gem! read more

I am appalled with the owner's lengthy response. A simple sorry and some effort on her part to make it right would have sufficed. Apparently she needed to make sure to defend herself. I guess customer is always right doesn't apply to this business. Of course I feel obligated to explain further so no crumbs are left on the table. After Katy R and I told the owner about the stale cupcake, she made no effort to make it right.. She just looked at us like she was insulted. You know that awkward silence? Yep. That happened. So in effort to alleviate the silence ... we told her we wanted to help her. Apparently we should have been more direct but thought we were being kind. Silence... So when she said that we left before she "had the chance" to make it right. Don't believe it. Her silence to us spoke volumes. She had plenty of opportunity to make it right. She chose not to. Apparently there is no client care at this business. How can this be at a CUPCAKE store? Isn't owners of cupcake stores happy and sweet? Not this one. read more

This place was awesome. We ordered a baby-shower cake from them. We had ideas from other cakes to come together and make one cake. It turned out adorable. They were even able to help us with the delivery. It was a bit of a distance, but they did it at an extra cost. Every penny was worth spending as the cake was beautiful and tasted even better. Great job! We will hire you again!! read more

Man, I was highly disappointed in this bakery. I'm new to the area and have a major sweet tooth so I was excited to have a bakery within walking distance. I went one afternoon to check out the selection and satisfy my sweets craving. When I entered, another customer came in right behind me. There was no one at the counter initially but then someone came up. Not sure if it was the owner or just an employee, but it was obvious that it was the first time for both of us (the customer who came in behind me and me). The person offered no help and was very unfriendly and unwelcoming. I wasn't sure if it was just me or what. But the person behind me actually left and I should have followed suit...but I went ahead and ordered a brownie. The brownie was bad. It was hard and when I went to bite it, it was crumbly, dry, and just...not what I expected. I don't think I'd give this place another chance based on the poor customer experience. read more

I worked with them to create a cake for my 50th birthday. I wanted something special, and they did not disappoint. The cake was so delicious!! The best cake I have ever tasted. It was also GORGEOUS!!! I simply could not believe how beautiful it was. I will definitely use them again! read more

A lovely cake was prepared for my daughter's wedding on October 26, 2019. It was so moist, fresh, and beautiful. Customer service was great throughout the entire process. Half of the cake was of the brides choice and the other half was New England Patriots (groom's choice). Thank you It's A Sweet Life for making this day memorable for my daughter and my son-in-love. read more

I had a pleasant experience with the bakery. I went in with my fiancé on a Friday night and he immediately said something about how good it smelled in the shop. This is notable because he doesn't eat sweets at all -- I'm the one with a major sweet tooth. We ended up following up with the bakery to potentially get a wedding cake made by the company, as the cakes they have on display are beautiful. I received information via email about rates and details in a timely manner. We went to pick up the sample box and I loved the presentation, the convenience and the way the cake samples tasted. Ultimately, we chose another vendor but it had nothing to do with It's A Sweet Life. I would've considered ordering our cake with them if it wasn't for other circumstances. read more

Never got a chance to find out for myself. Very poor customer service. I attempted to order a custom 2 tier cake for my daughter's graduation. Approximately 3 weeks before the event, I began the ordering process by using the "contact us" form on their website. The next day, I received an email response from Amie Pagan that stated she would be available to provide a cake for my event and asked a few typical questions about my order. I immediately replied and awaited a response that didn't come. Over the next week, I sent another email to Amie and called the store in a effort to continue the process... to no avail. I resorted to using the website's contact us form again. It worked and Amie replied that she would send me a quote for the cake and "get back to me later that morning". A few days passed and that quote never came. I called the store and left another message. I never heard back. Once I reached 5 days out from my event, I had to assume that I was in need of another vendor. Fortunately, I found someone reliable who was able to create a cake masterpiece that was incredibly yummy with very short notice! read more

I was a bit worried after reading the reviews on Yelp and decided to give them a try. My experience was beyond amazing. I sent a request/message through Yelp as it was after hours and as I did not have their email. They replied the following morning to notify me they did not receive the image of the cake I was inquiring about. Long story short, I emailed them what I was looking for with a 2 week notice and they were able to fulfill this beautiful spider man cake for my son's Birthday. The communication was great so give them a try and you will be impressed. Thank you ladies for the beautiful Spider Man cake. read more

This place should be called 'Its A stale gluten free life.' We went in celebrating our birthdays & because I'm gluten free, we opted for a gluten free cupcake. They only had vanilla to choose from which was disappointing. At first bite, we could tell this wasn't baked today or probably even yesterday. Thinking the owner would want to make it right, she just said " sorry, but it was baked this morning." Then she stared us down making it clear she had no intentions of making it right. I've had my fair share of GF cupcakes 8 years having celiac. This was a terrible customer service experience. Not only did she not offer a replacement, she didn't offer a refund. We won't be back. read more

I would have hoped to be writing a winning review of It's a Sweet Life! In an attempt to have a consultation for my daughter's upcoming wedding cake, I called during business hours on two separate days and left a voice message. My calls were never returned. I decided to stop by the bakery and spoke with the baker's aunt and she recommended we go online and fill out our request there. We did. Still no response. My only hope is that this person, who has obviously invested a great deal of time and resources into this beautiful new business, is ok. There are very few reasonable explanations for such lack of attention to customer care otherwise. read more
