Mesha's Sinful Cakes has become something of a sweet Friday tradition in Orangeburg -- and after two visits to the food truck (plus one trip to the Columbia storefront), it's easy to understand why people line up early. The first time I visited the truck, I was greeted by a friendly young man who clearly believed in what he was serving. I left with banana pudding, an Oreo cheesecake, and a turtle cheesecake -- and honestly, "sinful" is the right word. The cake itself is fluffy, rich, and packed with flavor, and the cheesecake? Truly some of the best I've ever had. The young man confidently told me it would be, and he wasn't exaggerating. My second visit to the food truck was just as pleasant. This time, a warm and welcoming young lady was running things. I arrived around 5 p.m., only to find that most items were already sold out -- a testament to how popular these desserts have become. Luckily, I managed to grab a blue velvet cheesecake, and it did not disappoint. Smooth, decadent, and perfectly balanced, it was worth the trip even with the limited selection. Wanting to experience more, I visited the brick-and-mortar location in Columbia off Two Notch Road this past Saturday. The desserts were just as delicious -- the quality and flavor remain consistent no matter the location. However, the customer service didn't match the charm of the food truck experience. While the cakes are still absolutely worth indulging in, the food truck brings something extra -- better hospitality, more personality, and a community feel that makes the experience sweeter. With prices being the same at both locations, I'll gladly return to the Orangeburg truck... just earlier next time, when the selection is still full. read more

Mesha's red velvet cake is the best red velvet cake I've had in years. But her customer service ain't worth a dam. She gets nice after you pay for your food. I've been there several times now. They never greet u upon entering. No smiles or anything. She just Thanks you for coming, after u pay & you're otw out the door. Very poor customer service. Imma have to check out Lita's. I hear they're very polite and have great customer service. They say the Cakes are just as good. read more

I swear her red velvet cake is amazing!!! If you see her food truck STOP and get yourself a piece!!! All of her desserts are delicious!!!!

Great experience at Mesha's Sinful Cakes! I called ahead close to closing time, and they were kind enough to stay open an extra 10 minutes so I could swing by--really appreciated the friendly service. The shop was clean and inviting, and I picked up a slice of their red velvet cake, which was soft, moist, and had just the right amount of sweetness. Definitely a spot I'll be visiting again to try more treats. Would've been 5 stars but I noticed how I attempted conversion when I first came in it was ignored but when my partner came in their tune changed... , but overall, a sweet experience! read more

i might be super late to the party but this place is absolutely AMAZING! a close friend raved about their red velvet cake and i can officially say "i've tasted and seen" for myself lol so far i've had their red velvet cake, blue velvet cake and most recently their honeybun cheesecake. when i tell y'all it ALL makes you want to slap someone because it's so good, i'm not lying! the staff is attentive and super kind. i mean the second i walked in i was greeted with a smile and we even had a good little laugh. now this is a pick up spot, so seating is extremely limited but these desserts are so good that i wouldn't want anyone to see me devour them in person lol can't wait to indulge again soon read more

In town for family business. Wanted to explore local flavors. I ordered the blue velvet cake. It was pretty tasty. Only down side it the counter is so high, I had to stand on the tip of my toes to pay for my food. Seems a bit impersonal because you can't see the face of the people selling you your food. read more

I love Mesha's! I stop by every chance I get to get the red velvet cupcakes or slice of cake. The cake is super moist and literally melts in your mouth. The cream cheese icing is rich and creamy. You can really taste the cream cheese which is a must for a perfect red velvet! I've tried many of the desserts and haven't been disappointed yet. (The sweet potato cheesecake is also another favorite of mine). *Social distancing is enforced as they are only letting two customers inside at a time. read more

I had heard rave reviews about this place. So, I made the trip across town and stood and a pretty intense line to see what all the hype was about... No regrets. This place is amazing, and the staff was so friendly and didn't make me feel rushed at all despite there being a line literally out the door. Go early if you have your heart set on something specific, because she sells out daily. We got the blue velvet cake and cookies and cream cheesecake. Can't wait to go back and try some other treats. Also happy to support a local, black owned business. read more

Wow. Super moist and the right combo of flavors. I couldn't decide what i wanted and finally settled on the red velvet cupcakes without nuts. 2/$4. They weren't your average size cupcakes but maybe a tad bit smaller but when you take the first bite you're immediately satisfied. The cream cheese is perfect too. There are several options for cheesecake which vary in pricing depending on flavor. Go check this location out. Closed on Sunday and Monday read more

The cheesecake is my go to favorite. The service is good. They get you in and out without delay. The business is located in a good spot to get to. read more

This place has some of the best desserts in town. Whenever I am near its a must go for me.

I have a HUGE sweet tooth, so I've tried a ton of red velvet cakes from different places. These cupcakes though... may be the best red velvet I've ever had. I told myself I'd only have one bite, and I ended up sitting in the parking lot eating both cupcakes. Made sure I scrapped all the cake off the wrapper as well tooThey are that good!! Cake is Soooo incredibly moist and that cream cheese frosting is absolutely Devine. My mouth is watering typing this review. Go support your local businesses and try! I was so tempted to try their blue velvet cheesecake and praline cheesecake. Just means I'll have to stop here again. read more

The desserts are delicious. Staff could be friendlier by smiling, saying hello and Thank you.

The red velvet cake was absolutely delicious. The cakes are moist and not dry. This a must try for everyone. Highly recommended.

I ordered Three different kinds of cheesecake. They were all delicious. I paid $9.00 a piece. Probably won't be going back anytime soon. read more

I posted a review on google; however, my review was removed. I purchased the carrot cake slice and was not happy about the size. I voiced my concerns to the cashier and later..wrote a review. "Owner" was very condescending in her response, therefore I posted pics of the slice I received. My review was then removed???? I initially gave 3 stars, because despite receiving a small slice---the cake was very tasty. Now, I'm insulted. Owner should have attempted to rectify my concerns or at the very least, apologized. read more

I've been seeing the reviews for Mesha's Sinful Cakes and More and was finally able to stop by today. The desserts look absolutely amazing! They have flavors I haven't seen in any bakery before. I was hoping to try the key lime cheesecake, but as I was in line, they informed us they were completely sold out of all cheesecake. They did have cupcakes and carrot cake left. I tried the cupcakes and they were very good. Sweet but not overly sweet. I would definitely order these again. I tried the carrot cake (I'm not a fan of carrot cake). This carrot cake was better than 80% of the other carrot cakes I've tried. I arrived at 1:00 and they sold out just after I arrived. I'll make sure to arrive when they open next time to try more goodies. read more

I must say this is one of the best cheesecakes I have ever endured lol. The strawberry shortcake cheesecake and the red velvet cake with nuts was phenomenal. I had to track this truck down in Rock hill and boy I must say it was well worth the drive from Charlotte. I can't wait to try some of the other flavors. read more

The food speaks for itself! Great service! Tasty ingredients. You can tell when you use imitation seasonings and not at this store. I tasted every flavor plus the love that was used to make everything read more

Sinful and delicious. I think they should prepare more cakes since their business is growing like crazy but with the covid restrictions, you're literally in and out. My family stops here on their way up to Greenville and I stop on my way down to Charleston. If you haven't tried it yet, you won't be disappointed. I enjoy the strawberry cheesecake, my family loves the praline cheesecake, wet walnut cheesecake and the red velvet cupcakes. I can't wait to try the key lime cheesecake! read more

Flawless. Everything is flawless. Anybody giving them a bad review is just pure hate. I forgot my mask a few times and in turn saved myself some calories, because no entry without a mask. read more

I Love the cheese cakes and red and blue velvet cakes. Everything I have tasted is good. The only reason I gave them a 4.is because of the customer service on pickup orders. If your cupcakes for pickup a 1:00pm and you show up at 12:55pm they will make you-wait those 5 minutes and be rude about it. So I no longer get carry outs from this location just what is in the show case. read more

Whew chile. The best cakes!!! Get em while they're open! I personally love the red velvet cakes.

I stumbled upon Mesha's while looking for another food place, and I'm thinking that was no mistake!! I'd never been here, but decided to try it and hope for the best!! I ordered a Blue velvet and Red velvet cake and a Pralines and Pecans cheesecake....all were very nice sizes and upon arriving home we all began trying each one out. The velvet cakes were just the taste I wanted and although it was said that the blue velvet had its own taste it was too close to tell. The cheesecake though was very delicious...I must say that being from NY I am very biased and picky when it comes to cheesecake, but this was the first one I've had in years that reminded of home. I will be back!! Maybe even buy a whole cheesecake...very soon! Pros: All that I tried was very good soft and moist Cons: Pricing- Even though the slices were nice sizes at $4+ with or without nuts it's easy to spend a lot for a little. You're also not able to call ahead to place an order for pickup. When you work across town and get off late you may not make it before they close at 6:30. For me I just made it with little choices left. Thus 4 Stars read more

Hands down the best desserts in town, everything is homemade. If you're a die hard fan of Red Velvet, you will definitely appreciate the fact that you don't taste the vegetable oil and confectioners sugars like some places here in town. Do yourself a favor and pay a visit to this gem. The cheesecakes are to die for! Very professional staff and there's no long wait! read more

I was having a tough day so I decided to treat myself to something sweet and had been recommended this place a while back. I went in the staff greeted me as I looked through the cases to decide which ones I wanted to try. I decided on the red velvet cheesecake. Was blessed by a gentleman there that backed the desserts and ended getting the peach cobbler cheesecake and red velvet cake as well. Definitely worth every penny will be a place I frequent in the future. Next time I will get pictures I was too excited to try them all that I completely forgot and took forkfuls of each to try. read more

Amazing desserts, you can't find anywhere else! Red velvet cake is to die for and the service is good!

Love to support, I particularly didn't enjoy the service. It was my first time and wanted to let my husband try several things. I felt rushed and will not visit again. read more

Love this place they have the best pizza! The fresh ingredients are what keeps me coming back.

Simply the best cakes anywhere. I grew up in Richland County and now live in VA. Anytime I'm home, I must make a trip to Mesha's. God I miss this place. I can't wait to return. Highly recommended!!! You will not be disappointed. read more

I got a blue red velvet cake and it was pretty good. The blue dye does change the color of your bowel but it's worth it lmao

You cannot go wrong with any desert that you order. Everything. I mean EVERYTHING is soooo good. Super fresh. Hard to just pick one desert. Good thing they sell by the slice so you can try them all! Get there early because they do run out it's so good! read more

The praline topped cheesecake is the best I've ever had. Always fresh, fluffy and delicious. Supporting this establishment since it opened. Thank you Mesha for great services. read more

EVERY THING WAS SIMPLY Amazing.... From the time I walked in to the me checking out. I will recommend this establishment to everyone

Listen Linda Listen!!! I have never had a red velvet cupcake taste so good in my life!!! I don't usually like icing on cake I normally leave a little bit on just to taste it with the cake but this here.......I had to Lick container because I wanted it all. I ate my first cupcake leaving the shop driving back to work because I went during my lunch break (because they are open 12pm to 5pm and I couldn't wait until the weekend to try the cupcakes) and a crumb dropped in my shirt, I almost recked my car trying to get it so I could eat it!!! Lol yes that cupcake was that good, and that moist that I didn't want to waste a crumb!! I look forward to trying all the cakes they have such as the red velvet cheesecake, birthday Cheesecake and anything else that is available when I get there!! read more

Oh my GOODNESS, the only thing that's "sinful" about Mesha's is if you don't go there for some of her delicious sweets. Don't wait too late because these tasty treats go quickly‼ read more

Whew! What can't I say??? Once you walk in you're greeted by two of the most friendliest women ever. I came in on a Saturday a little after they were closed (she extended her hours that day). I'm so glad I took that 10-15 minute drive from my home. I LOVE anything strawberry shortcake but some folks just don't know how to execute it. When I say the strawberry shortcake CHEESECAKE IS TO DIE FOR TAKE MY WORDDDD FOR IT! Absolutely delicious! The size of the cheesecake I thought I wasn't going to be able to finish it but I would have done myself an injustice not finishing it! Why drive to Cheesecake Factory when you have Mesha's sinful cakes? I would like to add that it's a bit off the road in the plaza and will miss it if your eyes aren't peeled. Glad I found this gem and definitely will be back for more!! Thank you for filling my sweet tooth! read more
