I'm a plant based girly (aka a filthy vegan) and bakeries that have treats I can indulge in are few and far between. I am SO grateful that Sweet Haven Bakery is now across the street from the yoga studio where I teach. Their cookies and cupcakes are delicious. The staff who work there are friendly and great to talk with. I was pleasantly surprised to find there is also a coffee shop in the store as well (separate review coming for Ka Pua Coffee), also with plant-based options. I'm basic and boring and get the iced Americano, but I've gotten the seasonal island latte for my husband who loved it. Swing by and try out these delicious, locally-owned shops. read more

Sweet Haven Bakery is now in a strip mall across the street from Trader Joes on Sunrise Blvd, next to Fire Wings. Same great cupcakes, cookies, and phenomenal carrot cake. Seriously, I've never had anything I didn't rave about here. Bonus for having a coffee stand inside as well. Yum. What knocks off a star for me are the near impossible hours. A bakery that opens at 10am knocks out a morning purchase on my way to work and since they also close at 5pm that also stops a dessert purchase on my way home. And they are closed on Sundays... *Sigh* I really hope they do well in this new location, but they're leaving a lot of money on the table in my opinion with these operating hours. read more

Sweet Haven Bakery - 4 pack: Raspberry Almond, Apple Pie, Carrot Cake, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough - Desserts Near Me - Fair Oaks, California

We finally made it here! My wife was pretty happy bc the first time he had GF items. He had the GF chocolate chip cookie & a raspberry bar which both were the bomb. The one that helped us was the father of the baker. He was awesome! We returned the second time but my wife was bummed bc there were no GF items available at all. She still purchased the carrot cake cupcake & Smores cupcake as well. They were amazing she said. We were sad to hear Haven had hurt his shoulder so he wasn't in optimal working status. Maybe next time we need to call ahead but not sure if they answer their phones? Maybe check IG & message Haven? The business is on Sunrise Boulevard but only opened Wednesday through Saturday with certain hours. His shop is cute & bright & is shared with an area if you want coffee or a drink with your dessert. We hadn't tried that area yet but it looks delicious! No visible restrooms were around though but parking was very convenient up front. Now that's a plus! Too bad they are across town, a bit far from Elk Grove! But if in this area we will try again which is very possible soon! Woohoo! read more

WOW! What a gem of a spot. I hadn't heard of Sweet Haven Bakery before, but am so glad to know about it now! We came in and got the Cinnamon Monkey Bread Cupcake, and wow, was I absolutely floored! It was cinna-tastic and cream-tastic all in one decadent little bundle. Parking was easy, customer service was great, and we cannot wait to go again. If we were in a game of Fortnite, it would be obvious: Sweet Haven Bakery deserves the VICTORY ROYALE!! read more

I recently ordered a cake from Haven's, and it was an absolute masterpiece! Not only was it visually stunning and beautifully decorated, but it was also incredibly delicious and wonderfully moist. It is truly a work of art and a true confection in every sense. My friends were just as impressed with it as I was, and I've already referred them to the bakery. I will definitely be returning to Haven's for any future special orders. Thank you, Haven! read more

Four stars for the variety and the customer service. The employee was very nice and explained how she is the owner's mom and how he started the business as a young teen. I like how many different options and flavors there were for their cakes, brownies, and cookies. She was super nice and let me pick out what kind of cut I wanted for my brownies (center or corners). I spent $41 on a set of 4 cupcakes, 1 brownie, 1 blondie, and 1 pack of 2 cookies. The cookies, brownie, & blondie were my fave parts. The cupcakes were a bit too dense/thick for me & just didn't really taste like the flavors I picked. But I enjoyed the unique flavors they had for the brownies and blondies. Inside is cute, no interior seating. read more

My work doordashed this bakery and it was my first time trying it out. They mainly sell cupcakes but I got the churro cookie sandwich and the lemon blondie. The churro cookie sandwich was soooo good. It was two snickerdoodle cookies covered in cinnamon and sugar with the churro flavored cream in the middle. It was quite a large sandwich so I would say the price was worth it. It's definitely too heavy to have in one sitting but I would get it again if we order from here in the future. The lemon blondie was also very big and was more on the sweeter side than the tart side which is not my preference but my other coworkers liked it. My coworkers also got a variety of cupcakes and brownies and all seemed to enjoy it. I would recommend coming here if you are looking for a sweet treat. read more

Sweet Haven Bakery - Cupcakes - Desserts Near Me - Fair Oaks, California

This was my first--and most likely last--visit. I was genuinely excited to try this place because the shop itself is cute, but the service felt cold and unwelcoming. When I walked in and even complimented how nice it looked inside, I was met with silence. While browsing the menu, there was no greeting or acknowledgment, which made things awkward. After I placed my order, the screen was simply turned toward me, my item was retrieved, and the cupcake was handed over without a single word. The carrot cake cupcake's flavor was good, though it was slightly underbaked in the middle. Unfortunately, the lack of basic courtesy overshadowed that. Hopefully they work on their customer service, but I won't be returning. read more

Sweet Haven Bakery - Carrot cake cupcake - Desserts Near Me - Fair Oaks, California

Haven did an amazing job with my son's vegan cake!! So delicious!! He was gracious enough to take in a last minute order during our intense search for local bakery. My son has an egg allergy and has never had cake before. We wanted to make sure going forward, he would always have a cake that he can eat on his birthday. Haven saved the day, and we are now fans. We plan to order from here now! My only regret was not getting a bigger cake because it was so good. :) Order intake: We ordered a 6 inch vegan strawberry shortcake cake. Taking in order was really smooth via Instagram. Responses were timely. Haven has a menu you can choose from. I also shared images for inspiration (monster truck theme) Taste: SUPERB - all of it: the icing, cake, and filling. It did not taste vegan! So moist and flavorful. Filling included fresh strawberries too. Bakery Visit: Visiting the bakery was a delight. It was very clean, and to my surprise, every bakery item had a vegan option. Havens mom was there and she was very helpful and welcoming. I also got to try the island latte and bought one for my drive home! Pickup: Haven provides you with tips for handling the cake. We had a friend pickup with no issues. Packaging was very secure and easy for transportation in a high quality box. read more

My sister got cupcakes for my parents from Sweet Haven Bakery. The flavors were all phenomenal. However, the standouts were the coffee cupcake and blueberry cupcake. My Mom remarked the coffee cupcake had exceptional and balanced coffee flavor. My personal favorite was the blueberry cupcake because the blueberry frosting was scrumptious. I look forward to visiting the store in person and trying some of the other pastries! read more

I finally made it to your bakery! After my workout, I decided I deserved a treat (science says that's how it works, right?). The hardest part? Everything had a vegan option, which made choosing nearly impossible. So naturally, my daughter and I solved the problem by getting one of each brownie (chocolate fudge, Biscoff blondie, Oreo) plus a vanilla hot fudge sundae cupcake--because balance. Cute shop. Nicely setup a feast for one's eyes. We didn't even make it out of the parking lot before diving in, and honestly, it took all our willpower not to go full Cookie Monster and inhale everything on the spot. They were all ridiculously good, but that Biscoff Blondie? Absolute MVP. read more

Sweet Haven Bakery - One of each brownie (chocolate fudge, Biscoff blondie, Oreo) plus a vanilla hot fudge sundae cupcake--because balance. - Desserts Near Me - Fair Oaks, California

My friend and I stopped by as she's raved about Sweet Haven for quite a while. She mentioned that we should stop by while we were out and I agreed. When we walked in I thought the inside is absolutely cute all pink with pink balloons. I love pink so it was a great touch. I looked at the variety of cupcakes and they all looked delicious and well decorated. I was torn between getting the biscoff cupcake and the Dirty chai cupcake. Keep in mind all the cupcakes are vegan. I decided on the dirty chai cupcake. I think the cupcakes at $7 each is a little steep for the size of the cupcake. The cupcake itself was okay it wasn't bad but I have bad better vegan cupcakes. The vegan buttercream was overwhelmingly too sweet that it took away from the flavor of the cake herself as well as the cupcake is very dense but not hard. The customer service I will say is top notch some of the best I have received when it comes to food questions and concerns. I can appreciate this kind of quality customer service. I rate them overall at the moment 3.5 starts but I do plan on trying other cupcake flavors especially the Biscoff I hopefully this isn't a seasonal flavor. If you've never checked out Sweet Haven check them out! SYOY! :) read more

If you're looking for a place to grab a treat or have cater an event, this is the spot! I stopped by here to try out their sweets on a hunt for a place to have my wedding cake and additional desserts from. It was a one and done. We tried their cupcakes and cookie sandwiches and that was it for us. We didn't even go to other bakeries. We asked if they could make enough cupcakes and other treats in a month for our wedding and they did. The cake we got was so so good and all the treats were a hit with the guests. We got the almond raspberry cake, a few different cookie sandwiches, and a few different bars. The Oreo cupcakes and cranberry bliss bars were the crowd favorite. I can say though, no matter what flavor you get, you will love. 10/10 would recommend and will be back for treats down the road. Thank you again Haven!!! read more

What a beautiful bakery! This place offers a wide range of homemade desserts from cupcakes, cookies, brownies, and more! I noticed some of them are also gluten free and vegan, therefore there is something here for everyone to enjoy! Staff member was also kind, patient, and very knowledgeable about the entire menu! We enjoyed our soft fresh strawberry shortcake cupcake and can't wait to be back to try more! read more

Best brownies around. Beautiful display great service. Sort of hidden but glad we discovered this local gem.

Phenomenal cupcakes. Their coffee and refresher drinks are really good. The service and vibe of the bakery are lovely.

This is THE most adorable and delectable local bakery shop. The baker has been baking since he was 14 and with my various visits... have met his mom and dad. They have every right to be incredibly proud-this young man is beyond talented! Everything is seasonal, plus the original favorites (chocolate chip cookies, etc.). Even bonus treats being sold at Black Sails Coffee-if you hadn't checked them out, absolutely do that-you can thank me later! Everything has been amazing and flavorful-cupcakes, cookies sandwiches, cookies, brownies, bars... all of it. I had not had a single thing that hasn't been a tasty treat! Support local business and especially this bakery!! You won't regret it... I promise! read more

I really can't say enough good things about Sweet Haven Bakery. Haven really came through for me and my friend Karen. We were looking for a bakery to make white cake cupcakes without egg yolks for a celebration of life for our dear friend Cynthia. I called several bakeries in the Fair Oaks/Citrus Heights/Carmichael area and was told "we don't do that". I was very discouraged. I called Sweet Haven and the out going message said text or email. I emailed. Haven answered right away! He could make the cupcakes Cynthia requested! Hallelujah! Haven did not disappoint. We had 7 dozen cupcakes and they were delicious! And none left over. Any event/family party etc, please consider this bakery. read more

We love the cupcakes here! So tasty and amazing. We also used Sweet Haven Bakery for our son's Sesame Street themed birthday and everything turned out perfect. Everyone at the party especially LOVED the cookies and cream cupcakes... we were very happy to have leftovers following the party. read more

We were looking for a bakery in Citrus Heights and found this one on Yelp. As soon as we went in we were greeted by a friendly gentleman, who told us is the father of the baker. We had a nice talk with him and his wife. We ended up buying four cupcakes (carrot, almond/raspberry, chocolate, cocoa) and a chocolate cake. We took the cake to a friend's house...everyone loved it! And the cupcakes for ourselves. They were delicious . We would definitely go back to try their other flavors. They also offer coffee, and have to cute sitting areas inside and one outside. read more

We stopped here this afternoon for a coffee & cupcakes. Such a delight, the Lemonade cup cake was my favorite. Have yet to try the Strawberry lemonade one I purchased for my husband. Lucia took care of us, even allowed me to charge my phone. The ambiance was nice, relaxing with low level of music playing. Which is good for conversation. The coffee was fresh, & piping hot. I really appreciated that they also had decaf available. There were a couple games available for children & adults, as well as a few books. We shall definitely be back. read more

My daughter and I were waiting for her sister to get her hair completed at Ulta and we happened to stumble on this cute shop. It's hidden in the corner across from that butterfly mural. We went in and purchased a few cupcakes to take with us smores, banana (I think) and strawberry shortcake , which was a big hit for her. Spoke with the man there, he said his son was the baker. WOW ! These were so delish. My daughter's faveorite was the strawberry. We happened to come in about a month later and they were onto Fall Flavors. So it seems they may be seasonal. They cater large orders , just need notification and make other goodies as well. We'll be back ! read more

Mom needs to stay out of any form of customer communication before she destroys her kid's business. Expect a finger pointing, everyone is a bad person type of response. The bottom line is you are offensive. Let the kid handle his customer service and things with go better! Update: That was not your response. It was full of sarcastic insults and said " some people only care about themselves". That is outrageous. Take note of how other businesses respond to reviews. They don't submit paragraphs of whining. Be professional. You could use some PR training. The fact that your business is struggling with the basic practices of staffing, filling orders, and responding to customers is not even the issue. You are a small business. It's your insult ridden responses. Just stop yourself! Thank goodness for Ettore's. read more

This is a gem you don't want to miss! Run by a talented 19-year-old, this family-owned spot is bursting with creativity and pride. I had a lovely chat with his dad, who's not only incredibly proud of his son's hard work but also designed some super cool stickers that you can grab at the counter. The menu is packed with unique, delicious treats - think chicken and waffles cupcakes!
