I have been to many-a cupcake place, and this one is just a step above most. I was really happy with the selection, and the staff was amazingly helpful and extremely polite. We drove over 1 hour out of the way to visit this place, and it was completely worth every minute spent. The cupcakes were a solid 8/10; I would have liked to see them a little more moist, but the icing was great. I would return here just for the friendly staff. They truly made you feel welcome and valued as a customer. read more

I ran in here about 40 minutes before they closed on Sunday. I was dying for some sweets for some reason and after a quick google map search and a cross reference on yelp I found Sweet. It's a cute little bakery/cafe right on the corner of 4th & Garden, across the street from a park and a pizza shop (good location). Not sure if they do this every day or if it was only an Easter special but they had a cupcake happy hour from 5-6pm--buy one cupcake get one free! While they didnt have the desserts i *really* wanted to try in stock (it was almost closing time), we ended up getting vanilla on vanilla, red velvets, marshmallow, and coconut topped cupcakes. For easter they put pastel colored M&Ms on top. Overall the cupcakes were pretty good (i think magnolia's cupcakes are better, though Sweet is cheaper than most other places). The workers themselves were friendly. The cashier also made an awesome vanilla latte. I liked that they have both a full size and a mini size cupcake. So if you want to try multiple flavors, definitely get a bunch of minis so you won't feel like a pig stuffing your face! would come back again to try what i actually wanted: keylime bar, strawberry cupcake and carrot cake read more

My favorite bakery by far! My must orders are red velvet, lemon, and peanut butter. Occasionally I'll get a classic vanilla with vanilla icing. I've tried most of the others which are all great (I haven't had one that I didn't like yet), but it's usually hard to talk me out of my three favorites. As far as the price, good quality cupcakes are worth it. read more

Staff was so rude we left without ordering. Cupcakes looked good tho.. had high hopes.

AMAZING cupcakes! Was going to visit a friend and wanted to get something sweet for her. There was a huge line at Carlos bakery as usual so decided to do a yelp search for another cupcake store close by and i was lucky to find Sweet 5 mins walk from Carlos. I have had Carlos before and i think "Sweet" makes better cupcakes and the best part is there is no line. They offer 2 sizes mini and regular. I got 9 minis for my friend which were 12$ and 4 regular for home $10. Got red velvet, mocha and choc ganache. The best one was red velvet and the other two were great too - so moist and soft. Yummm read more

After visiting Carlo's Bakery I decided to walk on over to Sweet's. I had read many great reviews from fellow yelper's so I knew I had to give it a try. The shop is small but quaint. The girl helping me was friendly. I ordered 3 of their mini cupcakes and one regular sized cupcake. I know I'm in the minority here but......I was not impressed. To ME, the cupcakes were dry and not very flavorful. The frosting was not to my liking either. Sorry, i wanted to like their cupcakes but it just didn't work out........ read more

Had three mini cupcakes today and they were hard as a rock. This place is falling off. I'm going uptown to Jarred's stuffed cupcakes read more

This is my go to spot for cupcakes and custom cakes. This place is AMAZING. The little cupcakes are to die for, be careful you can't stop when you start eating them so just get a few! They have a great cake decorator and I have had many awesome birthday cakes made here. They can typically do anything you can imagine up as long as they have about a week and a half - two weeks to do it. Beside the decorating the actual cake on its own is DELICIOUS and they have some amazing flavors. I highly recommend this for all your sweets needs! read more

Better cupcakes than Crumbs and priced better too. Simple and satisfying. Sweet offers specials around the holidays and I heard they are looking to offer more variety soon. read more

I had an assortment of 6 cupcakes. In short, they were not very good. Cupcakes overall were overly sweet, definitely to a fault. The cream cheese frosting literally tasted like cheese and sugar. I really have had grocery store cupcakes that tasted much better (think Whole Foods). Not sure how they stay in business... the people who work there are not particularly friendly either. Will not visit again read more

I cannot thank sweet enough for making the most amazing cupcakes and cookies for the Hudson RiveR CrossFit birthday party! The mini kettlebells, the personalized touches to every cookie!

Great local cupcake place! Leaps and bounds better than crumbs! There is a pretty good mix of cupcakes all equally tasty. My favorite is the fluffer nutter, holy bejesus it's good...probably not that good for you, but what things in life are? It's tiny but go in and grab your cupcakes and go. They also have mini cupcakes, which I find almost a bit ironic as cupcakes are mini cakes and mini cupcakes are mini's of mini's...anyway. They aren't really that pricey at about 3 bucks for most cupcakes, obviously more than you'll pay for a dozen at shop rite but these are goooood. I have a gut feeling though that the cupcake trend is on the way out, for the sake of keeping sweet alivin and kickin' I hope this isn't true. Cupcakes make everyone happy. read more

The money cupcakes... *Pumpkin *Carrot Cake *Banana *Red Velvet MONEY. Trust me. read more

Honestly the best tasting cupcakes ever. Never had a bad one. The 2 different peanut butter ones like fluffier nutter are so good.

I'm not going to give this place five stars because I wasn't thrilled with the consistency of the cakes as they were too dense for my taste. However, their cream cheese frosting is out of this world. I'm usually not a big fan of frosting, mainly because it's many times too sweet or too light or too heavy unlike Sweet's. This cream cheese frosting has the perfect amount of sweetness, vanilla extract and still has that cheesy flavor of the cream cheese. Hands down the best cream cheese frosting I've ever had, thus far. A good plus: La Colombe coffee. read more

The carrot cupcakes are awesome. The frosting is too sweet for my liking. The strawberry cupcakes were subpar. The extra sweet frosting with the sugar sprinkles overtook the taste of the actual strawberry flavor. I bought a bunch of cakes for a bridal shower. I'm giving this place a four because the cakes looked awesome and they photographed well. Also, the mini cupcake option makes you feel less guilty on a cheat day! read more

This is my second time ordering from Sweet, and once again they did a spectacular job! I got a two layer sheet cake for my engagement party and everybody absolutely loved it and would not stop raving about it. I will continue to order from this bakery for all future events! read more

This place has incredible cupcakes! Their mini cupcakes are PERFECT for bringing to a party, or if you just want to sample every flavor they have to offer in the store!!! Their cupcakes are very flavorful and moist; the flavoring is very spot on (ie: coconut actually tastes like coconut, lemon tastes like lemon etc.) and it's really delectable. We are huge fans of their red velvet as it's more than just food coloring because you can taste that the cake part is actually denser than their other cupcakes. I will be back and back again! However, they DO USE NUTS in their bakery so if you have a child that has a nut allergy, be careful!!!!! read more

My friend gave me these as a birthday treat- so yummy! Somehow they were even better the next morning for breakfast ;) read more

I can't believe I've never written a review for Sweet, this place is the BEST. Every time I go the staff is friendly and quick and the cupcakes are fresh. Its also fun to stop by around the holidays to see what special flavors they have. I think over the years I've tried every flavor they have and the one I keep going back for is the Mocha Chocolate cupcake. Amazing! Other great flavors are the chocolate cupcake with peanut butter frosting, lemon, and chocolate and vanilla frosting. For those who are wondering the flavor is sweet frosting with not too sweet cake so that when you take a bite it's the perfect balance of sweetness in your mouth. read more

Great service and delivery. Everybody from Shannon to the delivery person were extremely sweet and nice. They were very accommodating to my requests for the custom cake in a Chess board theme for husband who is a major chess fan. Cake was loved and admired by friends and everyone at his work too! Only minor thing would be that even though the red velvet cake itself was super delicious, the fondant was a little on the too sweet side but that could be cuz I'm not really a sweet toothed person. Other than that, I'm extremely happy that I ordered from them and will be sure to re-order. They even delivered happily to jersey city for a minor delivery fee. Thank you Sweet team! read more

I can't say enough about this place!!!! I was trying to find a bakery that was close to the venue I was holding my 40th birthday party near. While there is the "famous" Carlos's, I've always found their cake to be dry and heavy. I'd remembered buying cupcakes from a bakery a couple years ago, but couldn't remember the name. I searched Yelp, found them, and went to the store the next day to order the red velvet cake. My vision, "40" in marquee numbers. I was diagnosed with breast cancer 4 years ago and quite frankly, I wasn't sure I'd even make it to 40. The cake was so perfect that when I picked it up the night of my party my eyes watered as soon as I exited the door of the bake shop. I loved the cake and 4 days after my party guests are still asking me who made it. Thank you, thank you, thank you SWEET for helping make my 40th birthday so very special and perfect! read more

This is only the first half of the review, as i haven't actually received the product. But i called for a birthday cake, and they took the order, even though they typically require more notice. I appreciate them making accomodations, and look forward to trying the cake. I could never imagine going to the bakery that will remain nameless. Those lines are dreadful and their reviews match that of Dunkin Donuts..... read more

It's been a while since I've been here. I used to live closer and I would randomly walk to this cute little corner bakery to try their seasonal cupcakes. It was so good that I bought half a dozen of the mini cupcakes for a friend's birthday (she loved them as well). The cupcakes are just the right amount of sweet with so many flavors to choose to from. I need to re-visit this place once the weather warms up because I'm in dire need for some sweetness in my life! read more

This is a good dessert shop with surprisingly good coffee. They pretty much just serve cupcakes and sometimes other cake. It's perfect for getting a large dessert order for a gathering. I've stopped in just for coffee more than the cupcakes. Service is excellent with friendly clerks and the owner is usually hanging out in the back, too. However, if you're into coffee there's a large coffee roaster on the other block that gives you more selection. Sweet's value is that they only have good coffee-- no choices! They have now started experimenting with breakfast items as well, and I expect they may start offering some more eats as well. - 1 star because they've replaced much of the furniture with unaesthetic small tables. It's not really a place to sit and do work at any more! read more

Baby's 1st Birthday - need I say more? It turns out the very 1st birthday of your little munchkin is a pretty big deal despite the fact he has no idea what is going on nor will he remember that. Anyway, it is a big deal. Party. Balloons. Family. Friends. Food. And the cake. I spent a few days searching for a bakery that would make 1) a yummy cake 2) that looks good 3) and won't make me faint when I pay for it. After some brainstorming with my husband we decided for a chocolate cake, aqua on the outside with a turquoise whale (or maybe I decided and eventually he agreed when he saw I was not going to say yes to a spiderman :) It was a pleasure to deal with Angela, she was very accommodating and created a cake that looked way better than the one I saw in my imagination. It was perfect! It was fun and cute and it was really aqua and turquoise! Also, the cake was very heavy (you can tell she put some serious loads of chocolate in there). And it tasted delicious! Sadly, our guests wanted to take a piece with them so most of the yummy cake suddenly disappeared but I managed to save a quarter for myself (yes, I am greedy when it comes to sweet stuff, my husband doesn't like sweets anyway and it is not healthy for the baby :) I have a feeling I will be back. Luckily, there's always a reason for a cake or cupcakes! PS: I attached a picture for those who have never seen an aqua & turquoise cake. read more

I have lived in four major cities in my life, and I had favorite cupcake places in all of them (Seattle--Trophy, Chicago--Sweet Mandy B's, etc.) These are my favorite. Sweet's frosting is buttery without being greasy, sugary without being sickening and their cream cheese frosting is THE BEST. And their cake is not too dry, which I find tends to be a problem at a lot of places...(although I think their chocolate can have some off days in this department). My go-to favorites: 1. Banana 2. Vanilla Coconut 3. Fluffernutter 4. The classic! Vanilla vanilla 5. Pumpkin I do also wish the hours could be later, but I have a feeling that they are the way they are because they don't get a lot of business after a certain point in the day. So I'll just have to work around that--and it's totally worth it. read more

This review is solely on their customer service not taste. Why? Because We didn't even have a chance to place order with them. I wrote them 3 emails, called them 3 times and even went in person one time to inquire about the price for two cakes that I would like to order for my LO birthday. But every time they gave me a different excuse why they are not able to give me price quotes right there. First time when I walk in they told me the decorator is not there and will have to wait till she comes in. They took down the details and also asked me to email them & that they would get back to me on a certain date. But I never heard from them. So I called them again. Again they took my contact info and promised to reply. But that never happened. It's very disappointing on a customer service end that a customer would have to contact a business 3 times just for a quote and every time was promised a reply but never did. Emails after emails and phone calls and phone calls, I never heard from them. So I decided to call in one last time. And the last phone call made me decide to give them a bad review because the lady on the phone said they are all busy in the kitchen and nobody was available to check emails! Then why tell me to send pictures and details of the cakes I wanted? Bad follow up and no response. Not only are you losing my business but also referrals. I will never consider ordering from them. read more

I recently had cupcakes made from Sweet for my Wedding on New Years eve! They were perfect and so delicious! My guests are still talking about how good they were! Thank you to the staff for being so easy and efficient! Ordering cupcakes from you was a breeze and one less thing to worry about on the BIG day! read more

Dramatically over-rated in every sense. The cupcakes are passable but there is no sign of innovation or creativity in the recipes. The most ordinary flavors are sold without any variation. Customer service is extremely lacking, no smiles. They make you feel like you need to hurry up and get out. read more

Easily my favorite cupcake place in the area, including New York spots. The icing doesn't taste like pure butter, as Magnolia's does, and the cake is perfectly moist and melts in your mouth. Taste is great too. I happened upon this bakery something like 4 years ago, and it has been my favorite ever since. It's a bit pricey for sure, but the best quality things in life often are! Today I got the red velvet, pumpkin, and Bottom... Something. It was a chocolate chip cookie type thing. That one was okay, but the red velvet is my staple and pumpkin was equally delicious. read more
