Food: Tried the chocolate chip cookie, sugar cookie, and sweet potato cake. Cookies were FRESH. Soft, flavorful, exactly what you want. The sweet potato cake was moist and had great flavor overall, but part of it was burnt. I even asked for a specific piece to avoid that. Ended up eating most of it, but the burnt section was too much. Honestly, that whole cake probably should've been scrapped. Service/Timing: Friendly and helpful. No complaints there. Value: Good. $10(8 cookies and what I'd consider 1/4 slice of cake.Quality was mostly there, but the burnt cake keeps it from being top tier. Highlight Fresh Wrap-Up: Strong start overall. The cookies alone make it worth stopping by. Just tighten up quality control on the cakes and it's easily a 5-star experience.

I did not know they had location inside the Iverson Mall as I will be reviewing the store front…read morethat is located on St. Barnabas Road. I've been waiting on them to open for a few months now and just so happen to be driving by and they were open so I stopped. Now I wish I would have taken some pictures of the stores and what I got. But I will definitely take pictures as this will not be the only time I give them a try. I went kind of late so most of the items were not available. So I decided to try a cookie and cream cheese cake and a slice of sweet potato cake. I couldn't even wait to get him to try the cheesecake. It was so creamy and delicious! Lord I wish I would have bought (2) pieces! Sweet potato cake was moist and sweet just like a sweet potato pie would be. I can't wait to go back and try the banana pudding, strawberry cake, cupcakes, and more cheese cakes. Inside is really cute a lot of baby blue is the ambiance inside so very bright and inviting. Go check them out y'all!

They are as good as they are pretty. I'm a buttercream and TRUE cake fan and these both were spot in. This buttercream and rich and the cake is moist with just the right amount of density. Listen, there is a clear cupcake war in the DMV and forgive me for coming to the party late on Sweet Elevations but you guys can't talk #cupcakewars without mentioning Sweet Elevation. Do yourself a favor and let her do the cakes for your next event! She threw in a free sweet potato cupcake which obviously didn't make it home Alicia's customer service is great. There are 3 criteria which I use to evaluate a cupcake experience and those are 1) buttercream quality, 2) cake quality and 3) price. Sweet Elevation checks off on all three. I'll be back again this summer.

I wish they had signs up for the flavors of the cupcakes, but the worker was very nice and she gave a good rundown of the flavors. I think this place is worth trying, even with the cupcakes being on the drier side.

I entered with the intention of purchasing baked goods, as snowstorm snacks, but had no idea they also have a full food menu. I ordered the strawberry shortcake, which was excellent!! It was moist and sweet and the strawberries tasted great. I also had a few cookies and some pound cake, which were all good. Service was quick and friendly and I was able to sample their bean soup which was nice and hot and seasoned well! This location as a few parking spots, that they share with other businesses, and you are able to sit down inside of the restaurant. They also bake cakes. I saw a few of their designs and they looked great. I plan to return again!

I had no idea that in addition to sweets, they also offer a full menu of food/meals. I also learned that they've been open for almost 30 years.

The cashier (at the…read moretime of shift) needs training in greeting customers and speaking with them as they are ordering. We cut our order short because he lacked basic training/sense when speaking to grown women spending money. That was the first time I've brought my mother after I'd been raving about the food which she has had from one of my previous visits. She cut our order short and we left, having to get food and drinks elsewhere. All because of the little boy at the register. That day we ordered the salmon grilled cheese and that is something I actually won't recommend. (Bcuz of that days experience, I wld remove a half star from my rating) But the salmon Philly I've gotten twice and was even better the second time around. I've customized my own brioche breakfast sandwich and it was really good although the chef thought I was crazy for ordering it lmao she did her thing for me tho. Deserts and drank: I've had the strawberry lemonade cupcake (I'm good off that one) Strawberry short cake (yummy but too many little berries makes it mushy and takes away from the cake) Pineapple upside cake (I'm a strawberry girly but this one took the cake!!!! SIMPLY GOOD!!!!) Strawberry lemonade: tried to mix it up but it got better towards the bottom. Still good tho. I love that they bake and not deep fry their foods. I like that they have pescetarian and vegetarian/vegan options available in that area. Quick yummy and preserved fresh. I know the area cuz I'm from there but it's no excuse to lack basic conversational skills ie greeting customers next in line. U don't stare at me and say u was waiting for us to order after WE GREETED YOU. It can't be a Gen Z stare thing. I blame it on lack of common sense. Training in customer service is my main suggestion. The rest of the staff has been pretty great!
