My daughters, Jenniffer and Jessika Wilson, pay me in macarons for babysitting my grandchildren--and honestly, that's the best payment ever! I've only been here three times, but I believe this is my first review, and it's long overdue. The moment you walk in, this place smells absolutely incredible. The gourmet desserts are truly top-notch. Yes, they are a bit pricey, but you can taste the time, effort, and love that goes into every single item, so I don't mind paying for something that looks beautiful and tastes even better. My daughters have me completely addicted to this place! They make the best banana pudding I've ever had--creamy, smooth like velvet, and fruity from soft, ripe bananas. The vanilla wafers create a tender, melt-in-your-mouth bite. It instantly takes me back to childhood memories with family and friends. I've also tried several macarons--salted caramel, lavender, red velvet, chocolate, pistachio, and blue--and every single one was amazing. They were so good I honestly couldn't pick a favorite. The red velvet cake is my grandson's favorite, and he absolutely loves it. The taste was phenomenal!! I also tried their thyme iced tea, which was surprisingly refreshing and delicious. I am officially a customer for life. I will babysit for macarons always! I highly recommend. Food: 5 Service: 5 Energy: 5 Parking: 5 read more

I finally got to come myself and they had the earl grey creme brulee macaron! I got 2 of them, along with the lemon merengue, ube cheesecake and salted caramel for my daughter. Ube cheesecake is my favorite and I lovedddd the lemon one. I think that's one of my favorite flavors. And it wasn't too sweet or too sour. The earl grey was perfect. It wasn't sweet , subtle earl grey taste and the taste of the burnt sugar on top tied it together. I got banana pudding and cake snacks for my daughter's teachers because they are amazing from the last time I had it. I wanted the honeycomb latte but they don't have a diff milk substitute for whole milk so I passed. I didn't want to cheat too much today lol so i will def try it another day. read more

I recently visited Swank Desserts and picked up a variety of treats, including several cookies, a brownie, macarons, and a red velvet cake. The chocolate chip, red velvet cheesecake, and Biscoff cookies were absolute standouts, and the macarons were equally delicious! The brownie was quite dense and a bit more chocolate-heavy than I personally prefer, though it was still a solid sweet. Unfortunately, the red velvet cake was underwhelming; despite following the instructions to let it sit at room temperature, it remained a bit dry. While the cake didn't quite hit the mark, the cookies alone are worth the trip. It is a cute spot, with an amazing staff, so I'd definitely return for their smaller bakes! read more

I should have never come here because now I'm obsessed with their perfect banana pudding. The best banana pudding I have ever had.

Are you looking to indulge? This is the place for desserts around Summerville! All the desserts are crafted to perfection. The owner is local to Summerville and you can even catch her in the kitchen. My personal favorite is the banana pudding. If you're a southerner, this place makes it just like grandma! I'm talking real bananas and vanilla wafers (YUM!!) Swank offers indoor seating and coffee options if you want to stick around to enjoy your sweet treats. read more

Finally got back around to trying this place out ! Prices are in between in my opinion could be seen as bit pricey for tens items! I do understand the cost of running a business however so I'll always support. Everyone was friendly while providing devices. The place is so cute and decorated chic like ! I opted to get the red velvet cookie and banana pudding . Everything was delicious! read more

Stopped in and got a pair of salted chocolate cookies, a honeycomb drink, and a crème brûlée macaron. The cookie was outstanding and the drink was really good, though it probably could use a spoon or fork for the stuff on top (which was very good!). The goodies were expensive for sure (like $4 cookies) but I felt that the quality met and exceeded the expectations that the price set. Staff was friendly and people were moving through quickly.

Decided after five years it was time to update this review! I am still a die hard fan girl - Swank just keeps getting better and better! I feel like people sleep on the drinks but the lemonades are always refreshing and flavorful. I usually snag a chocolate chip cookie for my husband and either banana pudding or red velvet cake for myself and they are consistently delicious! I see some reviews mentioning higher prices and while that is true, they are clearly displayed on the wall and you can taste the quality ingredients they use! As someone who has eaten QUITE a few of their desserts (aka everything - literally), I can tell you there is something to please everyone. They also have a really great rewards program with free macarons, drinks, desserts, and a 50% off coupon! I love coming for brunch, but if a line is a no-go for you, just go during the week and grab some desserts! read more

Was in the mood for some sweets, and my cousin informed me that they have some really good banana pudding. While on this visit, I did get the banana pudding. I also snagged a pumpkin crème brûlée macaroon and lastly a cookie butter cookie. I must say it's a cute little shop with nice hints of blue and white. The first thing I ate was the pumpkin crème brûlée macaron. To me it tasted like pumpkin pie, which I thought was good just a little on the sweeter side. Next thing I ate was the banana pudding. I thought it could use more bananas. I'm a type of person that does like bananas in my banana pudding. For me it had way too many cookies which made it super sweet, but it was good in flavor. The homemade whip on top seems to tone it down a lot as well. I would order it again and just probably cut some extra bananas in there. And lastly, I ate the cookie butter cookie. I didn't realize the chocolate in the cookie was dark chocolate, which did Mesh well with the cookie. read more

This business is in the heart of Summerville,SC. The place is bright and very sleek because of the color combinations. The staff was very direct and to the point. Ask what you would like, check out and told have a great day. Didn't quite get the warmth persay but it gives grab and go. They do have a few tables inside and a few places to sit outside as well. Definitely had to try this place as it's trending everywhere because of the banana pudding. I got the Champagne and Strawberry cake it was pretty good. Had the Creme Brûlée macaroon it was real good but you definitely taste the burning of the Cream. Once you get past the "burnt" part it's really good. Now for the banana pudding let's not even go in details lol just get it you won't be disappointed!!! read more

Truly exceptional! The hot chocolate will have me coming back often, yes it's THAT good!

I have been to this shop four times now. My favorites include the sausage onion biscuits, the Apple pies (which could use a lot less icing.... But none the less are still good), the macron cookies, the sweet potato cheesecake (phenomenal), and obviously the banana pudding (it's a favorite for everyone for the most part). The cake cups... I will say they are not that flavorful even after letting them sit room temp. If you're looking for cake that is going to change your life this is 100% not the place lol everything looks way better than it tastes but that is just my opinion! Things I would skip: the brownies (more like fudge, way too dense), the large cookies, and the pepperoni focaccia (literally just plain bread with some cheese and pepp on top.....). Her treats are worth a stop and if the case is sort of empty just come back another day and try a few. Overall, cute and sweet dessert shop! read more

You're are greeted as you walk in and the girl is so sweet and helpful! Thank you! This place is a Sweet Paradise!!!!! This place is definitely recommended for all to stop through. I found them on TikTok and man oh man the reviews did not disappoint. I got the banana pudding (DELISH) and the red velvet (AMAZING). I honestly wanted to buy one of everything but more of a reason to go back right. Such a cute establishment and grab your dessert prior to going out for dinner because honey this is will be sufficient for two people and maybe three per jail. You will not regret it and be happy you did. read more

I had seen this place on TikTok and had been dying to go! I LOVE macarons which of course is what drew me in. My sister in law and I each got a creme brûlée macaron. THEY WERE DELICIOUS!!! I also got the brownie for us as well. It had caramel and Nutella as well. It was very yummy! It was a more fudgey than cakey type of brownie. We also got the honeycomb cold brew, which I think was their current special coffee. It was very pretty and it was pretty good. They used nitro cold brew, which personally isn't my favorite but was still a very good coffee. The girl working the counter was very sweet and helpful. Some other ladies were baking in the back and they looked like they were having a good time and all got along, which to me is a good indicator that they like their jobs which is important to me. read more

OMG! I absolutely LOVED the items I purchased from Swank. I tried the banana pudding, the honeycomb latte and cookies. When I say everything was amazing, I mean it! on top of that, the shop itself is such a vibe! read more

So my coworker told me about this spot, and I started to follow them on social media. EVERYTHING they post looks devine! I finally got a chance to go, even though it was almost closing time. They had some macaroons left and the lemonade. I've never had macaroons, but man, oh man, they were good. It was like biting into a fluffy cloud of deliciousness. He lemonade was on point as well! It's a small establishment but packs a huge flavorful punch! The staff was very pleasant and seemed like they enjoyed what they were doing. I'll have to come backna catch them when they first open to see the variety of what they have to offer. read more

Is this place for real?! I haven't had such delicious pastries and cookies in a long time! Get here early because they sell out fast. The macaroons were so delicious and soft. Have a glass of milk with the cookies because they are huge! I wish I had come here soon because they are worth the trip to Summerville for a treat. The employees were so nice and helpful and there's seating at the business if you want to sit and relax. read more

Not too sweet but rich. That peanut butter was do so yummm! I'll be back. Drive from Columbia SC will be worth it read more

This place had a substantial selection of purely indulgent Southern sweets. Limiting myself was hard, but the things I picked and slowly ate were good choices; a cinnamon roll, a nutella caramel brownie, and a chocolate chip cookie. Drinks were being given away and people were sitting around enjoying their sweets. If you're wanting anything other than sugar, this place is not for you. read more

Always great selections of desserts. Whenever I'm near the downtown area of Summerville and Swank is open I can't help myself, I have to go there. She always has a cool variety of macaron flavors. I run there when I see the chocolate chip cheesecake bar, or the brown sugar pecan car, which are 2 of my favorites. The Swank brownie is a regular on the menu and is so rich that I can take 2 bites and save the rest for another time. Her freshly made drinks, like passion fruit & thyme lemonade are so refreshing. Saturday mornings there are brunch items on the menu, and sometimes sell out quickly. The fried chicken & pimento cheese on a freshly made biscuit is delicious! Pepperoni & hot honey focaccia and brown butter cinnamon buns are a couple of the regular brunch items. Different seasonal items pop up on the menu, and holiday specials grab a lot of attention. Sometimes freshly made flavored ice cream is offered by the pint. The menu is typically posted on their social media the evening before or the morning of so you can plan out selections in advance and salivate from the pictures and videos. read more

The sweets were okay, drinks not really - a bit overpriced overall though. We had one of the big cookies, tried all the macaroons (which honestly basically jam filled in the center bite - I was not a fan). I did like the cheesecake one but honestly I could have saved a Lot of money if I'd just done the one. read more

A sweet spot sure to satisfy your cravings!! I loved the macaron flavors and cake/pastry display but settled for a coconut cream cake cup! I must of had an older cup because the cake tasted a bit dry but the frosting made up for it - very rich and sweet. Great local bakery for your pastry needs either for parties or just partaking in a stroll in historic Summerville! read more

Totally Awesome place expensive but worth every bite in love with the chocolate chip cookies

Since they are calling for rain this afternoon I decided I would get up and get out to explore the scenes early this morning. I was hoping to go to one of the local farmers market, but was disappointed twice. Charleston farmers market decided to close due to the expected weather conditions and Summerville doesn't begin until April. So I decided to swing on by Swank Desserts after seeing all the deliciousness they were creating on their Instagram stories. I was pleasantly surprised that I was the first to arrive. This is unusual because most days there is a line all the way down the sidewalk, but I guess people are still moving slow due to Day light savings. Like I mentioned, I was first and I arrived around 9:20. Maybe 10 minutes before opening, there were about 15 other customers. They are known to have up to 50+ customers around this time. They are celebrating Macaron Day so I knew I would be getting a few of those. I was all set and went to order the chorizo + potato hand pie and was totally disappointed to hear that they only had the apple. I told the cashier that it was on today's menu and she politely explained that she was the reason why it was not available and humbly apologized. I was totally disappointed because I really was looking forward to having this as my breakfast. So I settled for the pepperoni + hot honey focaccia bread and it didn't disappoint. It is delicious! I'm glad I ordered two. They are definitely large in size but you will want to have two. I also ordered the Rose'+ Strawberry and Black pepper honey truffle macarons. You should definitely give them a try. I purchased the Apple hand pie and will feast on that later. Everything I've ever purchased from Swank it's always top notch. If you have not tried them out you are really missing out on a treat. You should definitely stop by one day and enjoy a little foodie self-care! read more

I requested a variety of Swank treats for my birthday- my mom came home with cookies, macarons, brownies, a deconstructed cake and bread pudding. I loved the little sweets, but wasn't a fan of the frosting texture for the cake. This review is 100% tilted towards the macarons because they were absolutely mind blowing: large, tall and flavor combos were unique! They were just a complete level up from other stores on all aspects. I think Swank would be the perfect place to grab a treat and a drink to catch up with a friend or for a little date afternoon. I will def be back for macarons! read more

Love this locally black woman owned bakery. They have a rotating menu which hasn't disappointed yet!!

The caramel brownies are FIRE. When I visit my mom, I make a trip here just to bring some home. I will also try any seasonal macarons, though they have all been far too sweet for me. As you can see, I'm a die hard macaron fan- I jump right in and buy up whatever there is... but turns out, I'm a macaron purist. As such, I need to remember to always try one before buying 20 lol. IMO (as a macaron purist) the best macarons are more butter than sugar. Anyone who has had French Macarons knows what I'm talking about. Swank Macarons is a flavor explosion of SUUUUGARRR. Even the ones that I wouldn't expect to be sweet are REALLY sweet. Earl Grey Lavender - I expected floral but it's definitely sweet tea. Then there was the Yuzu- which I would expect it to be citrus-zesty, but it tasted just like a lemon drop candy. So, I really only like the caramel (I'm so boring). Oh well, I'll never stop trying new flavors because I'm ever mesmerized by bright colors and novelty flavors. The chew and the crunch is spot on and that's half the fun of a macaron anyway! read more

I visited Swank Desserts today because I was excited to support this small black owned business. As soon as I entered the location the young woman at the counter greeted me and asked if it was my first time visiting their shop. After explaining the pricing and answering my questions about the various menu items, I selected the Cookie Dough Cheese Cake. It was sliced into a bar and the crust tasted like a cross between the traditional gram cracker crust and a cookie, it was thick and delicious. The filling was flavorful with chocolate chips mixed in, and the portion size was generous. They had a small dessert case however everything in the case looked delicious and was nicely decorated. I enjoyed the food and the customer service, and I look forward to returning to try additional menu items. read more
