I guess the second time is a charm! The first we came here, I found the bartender fairly obnoxious and unnecessarily pretentious; the service and baked goods were okay. However, last night spun that experience in a 180. The guy who helped us was hilarious and speedy - he gave some good recommendations, too. The baked goods - vegan coconut cupcakes and a passion fruit scone - were incredible! On our way out, I turned to my wife and said "wow, that was different!" Definitely will come back - maybe that first time was a lark! read more

Sin - Vegan Coconut Cupcake - Desserts Near Me

This place was recommended by a friend of mine that lives LITERALLY down the street. I am a pastry chef (from out of town) one of my bestest friends is expecting so, yay baby shower! This meant I had to be in charge of the sweets table (I am very picky and a bit snobby when it comes to sweets). This little gem right here is truly the best bakery in Providence... AND it's open til late! What coffee shop do you know closes at 11pm? Besides the fact that their operating hours are awesome; they did an AMAZING JOB on my order. When i walked in, i was welcomed by the barista and they quickly took my order. The gloss on the key lime tart was just winking at me through the counter so i had to try it, it. BEST. DECISION. EVER. Perfect combination of sweetness and tartness, the meringue has THE perfect crunch... and the crust, that crust was so crumbly and so good. Back to my babyshower order: I had very high expectations of the cake and the cupcakes, and they were truly everything i expected. I've had a fair share of places where i was very disappointed on a simple order, and the fact that I'm very picky and criticize a whole lot doesn't help. Needles to say, THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT. I had a customized flavored cake (chocolate with dulce de leche buttercream- not on their menu, but they made it, just for us! - talk about great customer service ) Also ordered BLUE VELVET CUPCAKES (also not on their menu but they accommodated...ALSO DELICIOUS) I seriously cannot thank them enough for making our event that much sweeter. THANK YOU SIN STAFF! read more

Honestly, I live directly around the corner from this bakery - and walking inside might've been the single most genius decision I've ever made. The snowball cookie tastes like a homemade brownie with icing. It's extremely delicious. The chocolate chip cookie is topped with a bit of sea salt that is UNDEFEATED. The Rum Bundt cake is great both warm andddd cold lol. I literally sat in my car and killed it... didn't even make it home. Please go. They aren't open on Mondays or Tuesdays! (Found that out the hard way.) read more

Love sin! Have you had their champagne cake? If not, go try it ASAP! I looove that they stay open late for a cute little spot to relax and have a dessert or an alcoholic beverage. More bakeries should have slices of yummy cake individually for sale. It's a pleasure and a curse. read more

Sin is amazing! I contacted them through their website to see if they could bake a "Nutter Butter" cookie cake for my dad's 60th birthday. The customer service was excellent, as I received a reply within the hour. We quickly hashed out the details and my order was in. The cake was absolutely delicious and the hit of the party! read more

Sin - Nutter Butter cookie cake. - Desserts Near Me

Foods mostly decent at best, there's better bakeries around though that are both cheaper, have a larger selection, and just taste better. Much of the food here is overpriced, $3.50 for a small cupcake and $34 for a small 6 inch cake for example. Super friendly and talkative front workers though. I was told they compost a lot of their unsold food and while this is great, I'd like to see them put out the food that will be discarded with a discount or give it away like other bakeries do. read more

Going to make this short and sweet. If you like sweet come to sin. If you need a custom cake. Come to sin. If you want vegan options come to sin. If you want to take cookie or cake decorating classes come to sin. If you live on federal hill you are closer to sin than you think. I always pass sin because I just assume places don't have vegan options. Yesterday we were walking by and I peeked at the menu and saw the word vegan. So I rannnnn inside. I was greeted by a very polite employee who explained the pastries to us. She also told us I believe after 5 they serve alcohol and have dessert plates to pair with alcohol. Pretty cool to see booze at a cake pastry shop. There were 3 vegan options so I got 2 out of 3. I got the passion fruit Raspberry scone and the vanilla coconut cupcake. The frosting was so creamy. And the scone was so moist and not hard or dried out which most scones get. We took them to go but ended up eating there because we couldn't wait. My partner got a non vegan cookies and cream pop tart, man did that look good. If you heard about this place or pass it do what I did and go in you will be so pleasantly surprised. Thank you sin for the vegan options. I will totally be back. You made my week! read more

A most fabulous place and I adore the idea and what is happening here behind the bar and in the kitchen. To for one, have such a unique place that puts such care in the sweet treats is one remarkable thing but to also have a care for craft cocktails that perfectly marry all of the Devine deserts, is unheard of. But at Sin, they do both excellent.!!!! A one of a kind true gem! With a bar stocked full of a mixologist tools to delight anyone's need for any of the 7 deadly sins and with such care and respect put in to every cocktail, I'm only sad I can't spend more time here .... like everyday! read more

I live in the south and my son attends college in Providence. I ordered a semi-custom cake to be delivered to him on his birthday. It was delivered as promised. I personally did not see or taste the cake, but my son and his roommate did. They are culinary students, so they can be more critical about food, especially baking and pastry items. They absolutely loved everything about it - from the decorating to the taste. I was hesitant to order it without speaking to anyone since I hadn't even heard of Sin before my Yelp search for birthday cakes (again, I'm in the south). Online ordering seemed to be the most efficient, and really my only option. So I placed my online order - super easy to do. I had a couple questions, and Kendra emailed me soon after I placed the order and kindly put my fears to rest. Customer service was above and beyond! Highly recommend! read more

Cupcakes were out of this world! Cake was moist even days later. They weren't drowning in frosting, it was a perfect ratio. Definitely coming back! I ordered 2 doz assorted cupcakes online, process and pick up super easy. read more

Abby and the whole team at Sin did a fantastic job for my daughter's Coco inspired birthday cake. The attention to details, the colors were everything I had pictured! Abby was kind enough to speak with me (when i dropped by without an appointment) to discuss the details of the cake design and flavor and even gave me a sample of the vanilla cake with sprinkles she 'messed' up (which tasted amazing btw). I took off one star because the raspberry buttercream filling I requested was a let down as you could not taste any hint of berries at all. The baker and I had also agreed to do a mixed filling of ganache and buttercream but there was no ganache. Having said that, the cake itself was nice and moist and not sickly sweet. I just wish the filling was as good as the cake. Otherwise I would definitely order from Sin again :) read more

Sin Bakery did a lovely job on our wedding cake! They replicated the photo we sent them perfectly. The flavors were amazing and all our guests had such great things to say about the cake. They delivered from their shop in Providence to 22 Bowen's in Newport with ease. Communication from start to finish was spot on, as well. Thank you so much for everything and making our day extra special! read more

This was my first time going to Sin, and I was so impressed! This is their new location on Westminster, and it was clean, chic and super cute. I loved how you could see through to their decorating studio and watch some of the girls filling orders for cakes! They had at least three vegan options(which I love since I'm lactose intolerant) and several gluten free options as well. I got their vegan banana nut muffin, and vegan raspberry lemon scone. Both were amazing. My gf got a regular cinnamon roll and said it was great. We will definitely be back at night when this bakery turns into a full bar and dessert space! Vegan treats and wine? Yes please! read more

Recognizing that rich, heavy food can leave you quite full, seeing many late night / dessert bars go to waste at the tail end of a reception, we opted towards mini cupcakes for our friends and family at our wedding and Sin Desserts did not disappoint. An opportunity beforehand with a few of our friends to sample, we easily made a diverse selection of 4 mini cupcakes, showcasing the culinary sweetness of Rhode Island while incorporating the season (between Summer and Autumn in our case). So impressed, we also used Sin Desserts for our wedding cake. Providing our wedding colors and design examples beforehand, making both cake, filling and frosting selections, Sin created for us a beautiful, simple, one-tier cake to stand atop the multiple levels of cupcakes. Set up and delivery at our venue, working in tandem with our caterer, Sin did an awesome job. Nearly all the cupcakes consumed, some of our guests clearly taking multiples of just one flavor, we were given rave reviews for both flavor and texture. Our simple cake, outstandingly decadent, so much so that while we got our one slice to enjoy together, our guests obliterated the rest. Not looking to overwhelm but rather make a statement, Sin Desserts is the way to go. Venue: Glen Manor, Portsmouth, RI Colors: Navy, Blush, Gray read more

This is a super cute bakery that I could definitely see myself coming here to work or study. It's pretty quiet overall. I've had their nitro and regular iced coffee. Both are pretty good! I've also had the gluten free brownie which is just a flourless brownie that is ooey gooey yummy! Rice crispy treats are affordable and the perfect snack to complement a coffee. You should definitely check this place out if nearby! read more

My only qualm with Sin is that sometimes the customer service is a bit lackluster. Other than that the quality of the pastry is phenomenal! I used to get a mini cake from here after each successful semester and I would absolutely go to town on it haha they also have blossoming tea, think Kirsten Dunst Marie Antoinette flowering tea...it's gorgeous and I wish I discovered it on the menu it pre-covid as I'm sure it's even more beautiful in a teacup. If you're looking for a not too dense but dense cake with high quality frosting, look no further to satisfy your devilish little sweet tooth read more

Don't go late in the day! I got there right as they were closing and got 6 cupcakes, not cheap either. They were overly dry and not that great. The lady, although stayed open for me late, seemed very grouchy that she had to stay...or was a long day. Maybe if they sell them cheaper at the end of the day?? I am not sure what happens with them after the day is over.?? Also, the order was wrong but wasn't going to raise an issue about it. read more

I follow Sin on Instagram and have been hoping to stop in. Drove by today and stopped in for a delicious iced coffee and a treat. The girl working was very friendly and helpful. She let me try the nitrous iced coffee so I can decide if that's what I wanted. Which I did because it was very good. So many options for a treat. I got a maple bacon oatmeal whoopie pie. Shared it with a coworker and we both finished out the afternoon on a nice sugar high. The maple cream inside was perfection. Will definitely go back. read more

I hate to do this bc the place seems cute and the people who work there are friendly but this place is so bad. everything is incredibly bland at best- the goat cheesecake tasted like milk, the pop tart lacks any buttery flavor, and their cookies are bleh. and the last failure in this list is the strawberry and champagne cake someone got for my birthday- tasted like old alcohol and refrigerator? I don't get what people see in this place aside from aesthetics and location. read more

Sin delivered the most exquisite and delicious desserts for my daughters bridal shower. They were so beautiful to look at as well as fresh and delicious to eat!

Recently had my wedding cake made here and the process was great and very professional. We sampled cake flavors and picked a chocolate bourbon cake with raspberry filling and vanilla bean frosting. The cake was delicious and many guests also made sure to tell us! My only complaint is (aside from the price for a small wedding cake...eek! But I suppose somewhat typical for wedding cakes in general...still in shock) anyway, we asked for a gray and white marbled fondant cake with hints of navy and silver. What we got was a light blue and gray marbled cake with some silver. Overall it looked fine, wasn't my biggest wedding concern. Since it tasted so awesome and they were great to work with, I'll give 4 stars. read more

Amazing place with great drinks and desserts. I forgot to take a picture of my dessert, but here's my expresso Martini.

Professional. Delicious. Efficient. After many years of using mediocre bakeries for my birthday events... a little bird whispered in my ear about this fine establishment. I need to buy this little bird a bottle of wine for thanks! I emailed Sin to inquire about possibly ordering a cake from them for my party in April. I received a response within a few hours to schedule a tasting discuss designs, etc. I was impressed that I was given a one-on-one experience with the designer to make my cake unique and right for me! We sat down and looked over some pictures to incorporate different elements into the cake and she started drawing it up for me. Her ideas were so modern and exactly what I wanted! The tasting. This was so hard! Each piece I tried, I fell in love with! Finally, I just couldn't pass up the champagne cake with dark chocolate raspberry ganache filling. My knees went weak as I devoured the cupcake before me! For large cake orders, a small deposit is required and the balanced paid over the phone via credit card. Very convenient ordering process. No confusion. No surprises. Just how I like it! I can't wait to design my cake for next year and to once again indulge in a dessert masterpiece! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! read more

Sin - My 25th Birthday Cake! Fantastic! EVERYONE loved it! Champagne cake with dark chocolate raspberry ganache filling! YUM! - Desserts Near Me

I've tasted a couple of wedding cakes from here and loved them, so I knew I had to stop in and try some of their bakery treats. There isn't a lot of variety as a walk-in customer: whoopie pies, cookies, and cupcakes are what I had to choose from. However, everything I did taste was super delicious. The pumpkin whoopie with cream cheese filling was divine. Some folks make them way too sweet, but this was very nice. The chocolate chip cookie was perfectly crunchy but still bendable -- not too hard or stale, not too soft. Perfection. Friends have mentioned that their cakes are on the pricier side, but I suppose you get what you pay for! read more

Sin Bakery made my cake for my July wedding. From start to finish, Sin provided excellent service. My tasting went very smoothly...so many delicious choices! I actually ended up taking my leftovers to go (there were A LOT) and went to my cousin's house for dinner where we decided on final flavors. Thank goodness we did that because Sin was my second cake tasting just that day so my taste buds were on sugar overload. I explained exactly how I wanted my two cakes. I wanted one to match my wedding invitation in terms of being a dusty pink and then also some beautiful piping to match the design. My other cake was a chocolate Texas shaped cake with the Texas flag on it. Not only was this very specific design executed PERFECTLY, the cake tasted SOOO DELICIOUS!!! It was moist and just SO yummy! I didn't think something that pretty could turn out THAT yummy but it definitely did!!! Altogether, I'm so pleased/grateful that we hired Sin for our wedding cake! Would do it all over again! read more

It's hard to figure out what to comment on first: Sin's talent, taste or customer service. A bit of backstory, first. My partner's 50th birthday is in August and to mark this milestone I threw him a party at our favorite restaurant. I thought it would be fun to do a 50 Shades of Grey style cake (not a fan of the book, personally) as many of our friends attending would get it and find it cute. I googled some images, and sent a query to my partner's favorite bakery just outside of Boston, only to be cake-shamed and told to take my money and my business elsewhere as they were a "family business." Yes, cake shamed, because the cake, which you'll see in the photos, involved mild references to kink. So, I googled and came across Sin. I mean, with a name like that, they not only had to be delicious, but also be open to creative ideas, right? Within hours of sending my query, with the image of the cake I had in mind (along with the leather pride flag), Marisa emailed me back to say Sin would love to help and would put together a sketch of their take on the cake. The next day they sent me a sketch of the design and I fell in love. But a sketch is one thing - the execution is another matter. I sent a friend to pick it up because I was in Boston and he was coming to the party from his home in RI. When he texted me the image, it was EXACTLY as designed right down to the rope work on the top tier. Furthermore, it tasted AMAZING - a champagne cake with strawberry buttercream. Actually, it had extra buttercream because, well, I like frosting (as does my partner, so it wasn't totally a selfish request). The fondant was very tasty too - and this is from someone who hates the stuff. But I think what made this entire experience positive is that Sin didn't shy away from doing something a little risque, and treated me with respect. Having been cake shamed previously, I was just going to do a basic cake and call it a day. Sin made my partner's birthday so very special because they did an amazingly tasty design true to their word without any hesitation at all. Simply put: Sin is sinfully delicious and delightfully sincere in trying to bring your cake dreams to life! read more

Despite their hip location don't let this bakery fool you. It was recommended I try this place for my daughters birthday cake since my first choice was booked (shame on me for waiting too long). I emailed them pictures of what I was looking for- EVERY picture included REAL flowers on a very simple, pastel rough frosted cake. Received the invoice, paid in full (I could've just put down deposit) what a mistake. Went to pick it up, it was plain white. Nothing on it. Showed one of the woman my email communication with ALL the pictures- you would think IF there was a question about how it was decorated it would've been asked about in the email but NOTHING- even the woman who gave me the cakes agreed. I emailed them my disappointment and was refunded $25- the cost they would've invoiced me for the flowers. Such crap- and the response I received from Jennifer was unapologetic accepting NO responsibility for the miscommunication. After all, cakes are also visual so why that wasn't confirmed is beyond me. I will never go back or recommend this place to anyone. I wish I took a picture of the overpriced white cake. It was recommended I go to another bakery down the street and pay again to have it decorated. Seriously?!?? Fortunately the place I originally wanted was able to fix it for me last minute, 3 hrs before the party with real flowers I already had in about 15 minutes. SHAME ON SIN. read more

Jennifer made two cakes for my wedding last night - a pirate themed groom's cake and then a three tiered traditional wedding cake with sugar cymbium orchids, vines, and then two squirrels on top. One groom and one bride. Both cakes were super cute and everyone loved the squirrels!! The groom's cake was a peanut butter cake with mexican chocolate ganache. It was amaaaaazing!! The wedding cake had coconut cake and chocolate filling, as well as a yellow cake with a berry filling. Those were also delicious! Everyone raved about them. Along with the cakes, I really liked the professionalism that Jennifer brought to the process of designing the cake. She drew it out for us so we could confirm that what we were saying and what she visualized in her head were the same thing. I also like the fact that she provides a one year anniversary cake free of charge. No year old frozen cake for us!! :) read more

Went here last night for dessert as I was craving a Black Forest. Upon arrival, they didn't have it as they only had Valentines Day specials. We ordered the red wine creme brûlée and red velvet cupcake. The brûlée wasn't bad along with the truffles. The red velvet was a disappointment as the cake was too dense. I think it was chilled a tad too long but the frosting wasn't bad. I need to go back and try that Black Forest. The staff was super pleasant as well and the ambiance wasn't bad. read more

What a great spot on the West Side to grab dessert, a night cap and a few laughs with some friends. We decided to stop on in after a delicous meal at Broadway Bistro. I have heard a lot about this place and wanted to try it out. They are still trying to figure out how service will work. The bar was completely full and there was a larger group getting dessert to-go so we just sat it out while we looked over the menu. Shortly after we had our own server and she promptly took our orders. I got an espresso martini, It was spot on delicious. Rich, creamy and extra boozy... Just the way I like it! We got a piece of confetti cake to split. It was a little denser that I enjoy and the frosting could use a few minutes to soften up a bit. It is full of flavor but I do prefer softer, fluffier frosting... But that is just me and my opinion. The space is lovely. Large, clean and nice decorated. I love the barstools and pops of red. The track lighting above was a bit bright for the mood. Maybe tone it down a bit with the lighting at night. Some candles on the tables could add the ambiance I feel it is lacking. It just needs a few tweaks on the inside to create that cozy atmosphere you crave when looking for a place late night. They have SO MANY TABLES that it feels a tad on the cafeteria side when you walk in, but again... Just a few tweaks, and they can rectify that easily. All in all a good way to end our night. I would like to go back and try a few more desserts and cocktails to getter a better feel of what they have to offer! I am excited to see what my experience will be when we return and sit at the bar! read more

If you're reading this, the most important thing you can know is to ignore any reviews of Sin before Spring 2017, at least as far as the coffee shop aspect is concerned. The cake reviews, sure. But just a couple months ago, they made the move to a real coffee shop, upgrading their offerings from the former very small place on Allens Ave. Then, even better, they added cocktails and desserts for a really great evening experience. I live nearby and stop here for coffee often - they use New Harvest, from what I understand. Seven Stars has apparently switched to a Boston roaster. If that's not true, let me know and I'll edit this review. Anyway, Sin's pastries are also tasty and varied, from the savory or sweet scones, to the cheddar biscuit to the yummy cupcakes. In vegan varieties or with bacon on top! It's also a place where you can feel comfortable hanging out with work, a laptop, a book or friends. Not too loud. Not too crowded. Not yet, at least. read more

Sin provided a cake for my wedding this past weekend and I can't fully describe how incredibly amazing the cake was. From the beginning of the cake process, the staff was beyond helpful. We worked with Abby who is not only a delight, but extremely talented. She was patient with my vague instructions and helped us choose cake flavors everyone would love. I gave her full reign of decorating the cake, and on the day of I couldn't believe how perfectly she captured exactly what I wanted (especially since I barely told her anything about what I wanted it to look like). The cake itself was absolutely delicious, everyone was raving about how flavorful it was! I would recommend sin to any bride who wants the most amazing cake made for them. The cake was more than just a cake, it was a beautiful statement piece.We will certainly only use hem again for our cake needs!!! read more
