We were excited to try this place out - there was a very long line at their food truck - but unfortunately, we were disappointed. We ordered the milk & cookies (consisting of the oreo maddness & s'mores cookies with a glass of whole milk) and the cookie sandwich (2 m&m cookies with vanilla ice cream). The cookies were gigantic, but they were not good: they were either too dry or too doughy, and not flavorful at all. We couldn't really taste the difference between any of the cookie flavors. The ice cream was also not good, certainly not fresh, as if it was right out of a frozen ice cream tub from Wal Mart. I can't say I'd recommend this one. read more

Someone brought cupcakes from this establishment for our organization's potluck! Our group member was so happy that she was able to put the order in advance and the owner made the cupcakes fresh that day. I tried the Oreo cupcake - it was the prefect mix of chocolate & cookies. Sweet but not too sweet. I loved that there wasn't too much frosting. I also had the vanilla celebration cupcake - it tasted good but nothing remarkable. I would definitely order from this business in the future! read more

My work had the Sarcastic Sweets food truck come for the afternoon. I got a strawberry shortcake cup. It had a soft cake layer and a layer of sweet frosting sandwiching a danish like strawberry pastry. I think it was a well proportioned and tasty snack. There were also cookies and brownies of various kinds available at the truck, but the cake cups seemed like the most unique item. Because this was a work sponsored event, we also got a drink. I picked hot chocolate, which was generously sized but nothing special. The women working at the truck seemed fun. The food truck counter is decorated with some décor signs that match the tone of their "It's Not Like I Can't Make It For You" logo. read more

I saw the Google listing for this basket and it looked good, so I confirmed that it was open and took my lunch break to go there. I had a hard time even finding the door, which was closed and locked. I rang the doorbell and it turns out that their entire Google listing and website is incorrect. They no longer have a store front or restaurant, and they just have a food truck.

Visited Sarcastic Sweets lately for their desserts. They also serve breakfast and lunch all day. My friend & I went during their happy hour, which is 2 - 4, and grabbed six cupcakes. The cupcakes were really good, not too sweet and one of them had a cake bite in it! A pleasant surprise. They have gluten-free and sugar-free options for desserts as well, which can be difficult to find around the area. I also ordered the Strawberry Shortcake milkshake with oat milk and it had real strawberries and cake pieces in it. Loved it. They also have fresh smoothies and Alaska brewed coffee as well. Lots of great options. They also do custom dessert orders and catering as well. Lastly, the owner is super friendly and you can tell she is passionate about her craft! I'd definitely return. read more

The BEST cupcakes I've ever had, and I'm counting allll of them. No, seriously, I have no idea how she does it. These cupcakes are so moist, flavorful, and fun! The menu changes weekly, but it often has a formula of classic/classic/creative/alcohol-infused flavors. So with typically four cupcake flavors a week, she'll do something along the lines of: vanilla, chocolate, cookie dough explosion, and tequila sunrise. And yes, those are all flavors from the Sarcastic Sweets arsenal. Seasonal flavors are played with quite well here - like an appropriate lemonade for the summer or a festive pumpkin pie or hard-cider in the warmer months. Cookies and brownies are on the menu as well! You'll find the truck out and about just about everywhere. Food truck events (Food truck Fridays is where I originally found her), random establishments (Foolproof brewery, libraries, CVS, etc.) local events (EP heritage fest, marathons, what have you). She'll also deliver to you on top of taking custom orders. You never know where the truck will be, but I know I'll go out of my way if I have to, to find it. I love following along, as she's great with updating her weekly menu + locations on Facebook, and trying the things she comes up with. I just had a salted carameltini cupcake (just can't get away from those spiked cupcakes...) that was seriously everything! My boyfriend, who normally has zero taste for sweets, can't ever help himself from stealing a bite...or four. Personally, I'll be chasing down the Sarcastic Sweets truck forever (and doing my best not to order more than one at a time, gah!), but you'll totally earn an A+ in self-love for at least trying it out. Fair warning though, you'll probably return (for the love, obviously). read more

Extremely rude and charged me extra than what was labeled. Disappointing and over priced for sub par cookies and ice cream. Adding to my review because it's clear one of the workers messaged me asking about my review then starting attacking me. Businesses get bad reviews they all do, not everyone's experience can be great she rolled her eyes at me and had a attitude and then her coworker charged me $7 (for non fresh cookies that came out of the display most likely sitting there for hours and melted ice cream and before you say it's hot out, no it was night time) when the menu said $5. I have no reason to lie this is just the facts I'm not here to tell people whether to cater them or not just to share my experience! read more

I attended the Warren food truck concert fest (my name for it!), and on my way out I decided to try the Rum & Coke cupcake. I got it home, I squeezed the liquid (rum?) from the vial, and took a bite. There was no rum or Coke flavor...it tasted like your average not-so-fresh vanilla cupcake. I ate it only because I paid $4 for it...I couldn't have been more underwhelmed. Was it an off night for them perhaps? That's the first and last time for me. Their website has an incredible menu, but I've had better cupcakes from Duncan Hines. read more

Big fan of Sarcastic Sweets as of yesterday! Since being a kid, my sister has always celebrated 11/11 simply because she loves the date, and since I knew I wouldn't be able to celebrate with her this year as we are across the country from each other, I wanted to have something delivered to her which would make her feel happy. I called Sarcastic Sweets not expecting to be able to pull this off the night before the date, but was greeted by Nina who just GOT IT right away - I felt like she was just as in on the surprise as I was! She had the idea to make 11 cupcakes, have them arranged to spell out 11:11, and to have them delivered at exactly 11:11 - and she made it ALL happen! She included a balloon and a champagne-style bottle of Martinelli's on the house. According to my sister, the cupcakes were amazingly delicious. Neither I or my sister will ever forget this and I will never forget Nina's kindness! Next time I find myself in Providence Sarcastic Sweets will be one of my first stops! read more

From the Business

Specialties

Cocktail and beer cupcakes, wine cupcakes, gluten-free desserts, and much much more. There is a brunch menu available that is offered all day.We do it all here at Sarcastic Sweets, where the motto is, "It's not like I can`t make it for you." Our desserts are great for bachelorette, bachelor parties, children parties, graduations, and weddings. As the pastry chef and owner, I can say we do it all and mean it.

History

Established in 2015.

I started out just making cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts from my own kitchen and selling them to friends, family, and coworkers. As the orders started to increase and more people from in state and out of state became interested, I needed to expand my services and my mobility. So I purchased my food truck, and once I have more history then I will add to my story.

Meet the Business Owner: Nina R.

My name is Nina Reed and I`m a Johnson & Wales graduate as well as a guest star on "Food Network Show: Sweet Genius Season 3". My goal is to bring a different spark to the Rhode Island foodie scene. I`m from Anchorage Alaska and we`re the definition of far out and different. Sarcastic Sweets is a specialty dessert shop that makes one of a kind desserts, unique to Rhode Island. We can make any beer, cocktail, or wine infused in a cupcake or cake. Another great feature we boast is that we cater to gluten-free customers as well as vegan and other food allergies.

It's a sugar cookie, so yeah it's sweet, and was mostly buttercream (I believe it was buttercream but correct me if I'm wrong) than cookie. The coffee milk was pretty sweet, but yummy, which is surprising because I don't like coffee milk that much (sorry RI). But I would get Wright's coffee milk again. The pricing was roughly $7 for a cake slice (a box of cake really), $5 for cookie, $2 for coffee milk. I thought it was fair pricing! Overall, it's really nice having a creamery here and I would recommend coming here if you're looking to treat yourself or needing cake and/or ice cream!

Service was great and speedy!…read more The oreo (milk and cookies) ice cream was good but not great- mostly a sugary vanilla base with a little oreo in it. There's also baked goods to pick from which offers a nice alternative for family members who don't eat ice cream. It's in the Farm Fresh building where the Providence Flea is, meaning there's a plenty of parking and seating around.

The first time we went, we got our own, but we quickly realized it is better to share one because it is more than enough for two people and leaves you fully satisfied. One per person would be way too much. They have a great variety of delicious ice cream flavors and toppings, and I 100 percent recommend it. Location: The location itself is nice, clean, and modern. It is more of a grab and go spot, and while there is a parking section, it tends to be full. You can usually find street parking easily though. It is a nice location that has always looked clean and modern. It is a casual spot. Service: The service has always been great, friendly, fast, and full of personality. I will definitely be coming back.

Madrid European Bakery & Patisserie

Oh my! This was my first visit to this lovely cafe and I can't wait to go back. My friend and I…read morevisited for dessert after having dinner nearby, and the pastry case was full of delctable treats, even though it was the end of the day. It was hard to make a decision, but I went with a croissant stuffed with chocolate, fresh strawberries and whipped cream, while my friend went with the Chocolate Mousse Santiago tart. Let me just say, that both were rich, high quality, perfectly prepared, and amazing. I really don't think you could go wrong with anything you order here. I wasn't in the mood for coffee, but my friend enjoyed a nice cup of hot tea. At first I thought the prices were a little high, but after I considered the high quality of the ingredients anad the generous sizing, I think their prices are right on target. The cafe eating area is spacious and is perfect for conversations or quiet work. The entire cafe is super clean and the employees were friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back!

I ordered an apple tart and a small piece was $7.50! Yes, it was good, and the cream was wonderful, but paying about $2 per bite is outrageous. The value of their drinks might be a little better. I ordered a Cortado and it was delicious. The volume of liquid wasn't too low. $4.25 I would give it 3 stars, but I know not everyone is good with money and many are willing to pay these prices on the east side Providence. The staff was nice, but nothing over the top.

Maruichi Japanese Food & Deli

Visited for the first time yesterday with two of my daughters who wanted to check out this Japanese…read moreMarket. Maruichi is bright, clean, and well organized. They have a nice selection of all types of Japanese food, including refrigerated, frozen, and shelf staples. Lots of candy and snacks too, as well as toiletry items. We were there towards the end of the day, so must of the sushi was sold out, but the items remaining in the refrigerated case looked fresh and delicious. Prices were fair for all of the items we looked at, and felt lower to us than other similar markets we've visited. Although I think that the Asian Market off of Elmwood might have lower prices on some items. In addition to the market, there is also a counter where you can order hot foods to eat there or take to go. There is a nice seating area with chairs & tables, and there is also a counter with chairs next to the window. We'll be back earlier in the day next time to see the full selection of sushi.

From soft drinks, green tea, iced coffee in a can, Japanese pickles, frozen fish and delicacies, etc. The way food isle is arranged, I think, is also very "Japanese" in an authentic way, as if I am back in Japan. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, even though I personally do not need help in translating the Japanese labels to English, whenever my wife goes there, everyone is very helpful. She works only a few blocks away in Downcity, so going there to shop or eat is super easy. She does not have to find parking there when she can simply walk there. We often go there to have our favorite - katsudon and gyudon. She loves these donnuri dishes. I showed her how to make them at home, as they are super simple to make.

I've only been once so far but I was very impressed by the quality of the pastries. I tried a cafe…read morelatte croissant and really enjoyed it! Super flaky and a lot of delicious flavor from the filling and garnishes. It was very busy when I stopped by midday. They were out of some items already (I missed out on trying the French onion croissant before they replaced it with another menu item). I did find a spot to sit outside but I can see it being even harder to find a seat during peak times. It's a bit off the beaten path yet it's known and popular for a reason. I'm looking forward to visiting again and trying more items and of course the coffee!

I was sold as soon as I read their menu and saw that they had a Halva latte. This is one of my favorites and I can only get it at cafes near Boston. If you haven't had it, it's a must try. Halva is a sweet confection that is sesame based. Brown Bee definitely delivered on this one. I hope it stays on the menu! My wife had a pistachio latte that is made with homemade pistachio syrup. It was 10/10. We didn't plan on eating, but we did end up getting one of their cinnamon rolls with a homemade cream cheese frosting. It was fantastic! They have plenty of seating and although we waited inline, there were several seats available and we got to enjoy our drinks and cinnamon roll. This place is worth the wait in line. We will be going back again this weekend. I want to try the everything croissant with cream cheese baked inside! We may also try one of their breakfast sandwiches. My only recommendation is that they add little chalk boards for each of the croissants with what they are as they had to keep telling everyone what each one was. Still a 10/10.

There in the States not so much. This place has a lot of great options, lots of indoor seating, a couple of options to sit outside if the weather is good, ready to order on a tablet or with a person, fact service and quality of everything was great. Just don't get a dessert style coffee like a chocolate strawberry frappe like I said after ordering a bowl and a Dubai crepe. That dessert coffee was overkill. Get it if it's the only thing you are getting , otherwise it's too much. Definitely a place i want to go back to.
