These cupcakes just are not good! I'm so disappointed because they did look beautiful for presentation at my baby shower but the cake texture was thick and reminded me of a dry muffin and the icing was hard. Extremely saddened that these cupcakes went to waste and it was a waste of money!!! Also i called to put the order in and they gave me a completely different price from what it says online. Each cupcake says $4.25 regular but they said it's now $4.75 and that was before i asked for special designs. So just be aware their prices changed. As a business owner you have to honor what's on your website until you can get it changed. But whatever i still ordered because the reviews said they were good and idk if these are fake reviews but the cupcakes were not good! A lot of my guest did not eat them or picked at them to be nice. Very embarrassing to have these st my shower, i won't be back.
I needed a red velvet cake for a wedding dinner celebration. I am from Kentucky and after calling quite a few bakeries, I found SWEET! They were just amazing. Service awesome! Cake - unbelievable! Best red velvet EVER! Decorated so special. And I also had a Latte and a mini Cupcake when I went to pick up. This is THE PLACE!!!
I came here after dinner as I was craving something sweet. I love eating something sweet and I am always in the mood for cake. The quaint bakeshop is located near a park. Due to COVID, they are limiting the amount of people in the store. I ordered a Red Velvet ($3.75) and a Fluffernutter ($3.75). The cupcakes were tasty but, I felt that they were a bit small to be "regular" sized. Personally, I thought the taste and presentation was just okay. I didn't see anything that made them noteworthy to visit again. The bakery had tons of interesting flavors but, I am not sure I would return. Maybe if I was in the area again. The one thing I didn't like is that the cupcakes were placed in a paper bag. I had to be very careful on transporting home my goodies. The customer service was okay. The person didn't really seem into being there one way or another. I was just another fly on the wall for all they cared.
I've passed Sweet many times, but had never been in until Saturday afternoon. There was a good variety to choose from so I got 6 different cupcakes: Lemon, Chocolate Coconut, Chocolate Chip Cheesecake, Banana, Vanilla/Vanilla, and Fluffer Nutter. If I had to choose a favorite - it would be the Banana cupcake. 4-star rating because the cupcakes didn't seem super fresh, and there wasn't much of a size difference between the minis ($2) and regular ($3.75) - I got the regulars anyway. Since their shop doesn't have a ton of room, for COVID protocols - they limit it to 3 customers inside at once which I appreciated.
I ordered my 25th birthday cake there & the team was absolutely amazing to work with!! They were all so kind with making my vision come to life & we're happy to take inspo pics. The cake was delicious - I did chocolate w their mocha filling & vanilla frosting, all my guests raved about it and the cake was also HUGE! So I was so happy to have some leftovers. I did also grab a GF brownie, those were so yummy, you could not even tell they were different from a normal one. Only downside is they are a bit pricey, but after trying to get into contact with other bakeries or just have them understand my vision, I would 100% be happy to pay Sweet again for their amazing work & responsiveness.
All cupcakes are available in regular size ($4.25) & in minis ($2.25.) We ordered a variety of flavors -- Lemon, Chocolate Coconut, Chocolate with Marshmallow meringue, a mini-sized Black Bottom, & Fluffernutter for me. I can't speak for the rest of the cupcakes but my vanilla cake had the dense, dry texture of a muffin. I did, however, like its double topping of both peanut butter frosting & marshmallow meringue. Neither the staff nor other customers were wearing masks (I get it, it's their choice, & we're not in Cali anymore, Toto.) The bakery was stuffy so even though it was an overcast day, we took our goodies to nearby Church Square Park because it felt safer to be outside. The cupcake flavors are creative & Sweet doesn't skimp on frosting, but the cake texture & cashier's cold attitude make me want to choose another dessert spot next time I'm in the area.
My review is solely on the cupcakes since I ran in and out in less than 5 minutes so I didn't get to see all that Sweet offers. I was looking for a bakery in Hoboken which had good reviews and stumbled upon Sweet! I needed 20 cupcakes ASAP for a birthday party in a couple of hours and since Sweet had the cupcakes already laid out it was easy to pick what I wanted. They have mini cupcakes for $2.00 or regular sized cupcakes for $3.75. I opted for the mini cupcakes since I needed 20 cupcakes I did not want to empty my wallet. I picked out 5 raspberry, 5 carrot cake, 5 vanilla and 5 red velvet for $40. Fast forward to the birthday party, the cupcakes were DEVOURED! They were soft, fluffy, decadent, creamy, just everything I hoped they'd be. We left the birthday party with one remaining which was gone really quick. Thank you Sweet, I will be back :)
I absolutely love Sweet. Their cupcakes are so delicious, moist, and fresh and they have a wide variety to choose from. I've never tried their cakes but I am sure they are as delicious as their cupcakes. Everyone that works there is super friendly too. Definitely recommend!
Ordered two cakes for an event I was having. Vanilla with vanilla buttercream and a chocolate with chocolate pudding. Outstanding. Probably the best vanilla cake I have ever had, frankly, and I order a lot of cakes. It was a dense cake and VERY flavorful. I sent in images and the owners were beyond accommodating. Delivered at exact time requested. Thank you again.

From our previous post (Mavi's at Fort Lee), hop onto River Rd. to Hoboken...all the way down to Church Square Park on Garden and 4th... One word: There's a bright little corner cafe here, where the iced coffee isn't bitter, which is a good place to start... But the personal quiche was a tad dry and lacked flavor at the time. (I'd suggest stroking your quiche-diction at Dames or Brewshot in JC, or Perk Up at the Bay, unless you know of others, as I can't seem to keep up with your sinful ways...) The small scones (plain and cheese) were decent though, as well as the service. (But I'd have to say Cafe Bene for scone, which satisfies more for about the same cost.) HOWEVER: do NOT expect WiFi here. You're supposed to be people-watching (the park across says hello!?!), if not buried in a book or a convo with your company or yourself. (And DO watch my sugar, I mean your sugar--just saying, you know.) Final word: Still, this small corner cafe is quite all right. So 4 stars largely for its bright location, and I was able to park at one of its three tables when I stopped by. We'll see if I feel the same way next time there happens to be a huge crowd... Extra words: They make their own pastries and desserts (if I'm not mistaken, as I've been mistaken before *thinks of a bake shop in O.Grove that outsources its baked goods*). Additional note: Parking in Hoboken is, well, you know--!@#$%&:(((!! But the cake, which I have yet to try (though I have to go with L'atelier first), might be worth the drive for some folks. read more

Service: quick and friendly. Price: awesome! Cake: OMG. Chocolate cake with peanut butter and chocolate frosting. Legit tasted like Reese's cup. The cake was moist and had a delicate crumb, the buttercream was not overly sweet, plus it was nicely decorated. Our guests enjoyed it very much! First time ordering from this bakery, but will definitely be back. read more

Ordered a cake for my 30th birthday, sent them inspiration pictures based on what I was aiming my cake to look like. When I went to pick it up day of my party I was BLOWN AWAY at how amazing they did! They made the exact inspiration picture I sent them! All my friends were obsessed with the cake! It looked AMAZING and of course it tasted beyond good! Tatiana was so helpful throughout the whole ordering process and making sure I got the perfect cake! read more

Two very important milestones in my life will be forever remembered with a delicious cake from Sweet: my 30th Birthday and my engagement! Sweet bakes a scrumptious and moist banana chocolate chip cake with cream cheese icing that is addictive. Their cake and icing is not too "sweet" but perfectly balanced. The texture is pleasing as well in that it is smooth and thick. Thank you, Sweet, for your attention to flavor, design, and overall presentation! read more
WOW! This place is amazing! I honestly think it is one of the best (if not the best) Dessert places in the Hoboken and Jersey City area. It is a very small bakery buy wow is the pastries amazing. I had the the mini cupcakes and they were perfect! Not too sweet but just right. In addition to great cupcakes, the service at Sweet is great! Everyone is very attentive to their customers. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for amazing desserts! I think Sweet is far better than that other pastry place (a TV pastry establishment). I must note that i was not a big fan of their coffee, but that is the ONLY thing that i did not like about Sweet. I would rate Sweet as follows: Food/Desserts is 5 Stars, Price is 4.5 Stars, Service is 5 Stars and Atmosphere is 4.5 Stars. The views expressed are of my own and are my true personal experience at this establishment. My personal experience may not reflect this actual establishment, their quality or someone else's experience at the establishment. read more

This has been my little spot for a while now. I am surprised I have not written a review for this. Nice and cozy feel to this place, I remember it used to be awful looking candy store. Now it's a Cupcake spot with the moistest cupcake I have tasted. Yes! They have the trendy mini cupcakes too, don't worry. However, one will not have a sugar attack or be attacked by tourist. Unlike Magnolia Bakery (really that place should be called "Sweet as "ish" " The décor is all white with metal tables. The seating is limited. Yet, it is never a problem to get a seat. What is great if one cannot find a seat there is a park right across the street. You can grab a La Colombe coffee. Then be amazed by their wide assortment of cupcakes. I particularly enjoy the chocolate cupcake/ chocolate frosted butter cream, so damned delicious. It's not overbearing. I usually do not like the frosting on my cup cake. The owner is a very "SWEET" woman. She is always ready to chat, very approachable. Even more reason to check it out. It's always a joy to visit a place where the workers and owner are happy to be there! read more
I adore the cupcakes here! I've been to various cupcake joints such as sprinkles, crumbs, Georgetown, magnolia's, and etc. Even though I've tried many cupcakes from various places, I'm not a huge fan of cupcakes or cakes because I'm very picky with the frosting. This place was an exception! My sister surprised me with the black bottom (chocolate cake topped with chocolate chip cheesecake) and red velvet (topped with cream cheese frosting) cupcakes for my birthday! Because they had to write on the cupcakes, they used different frosting or made the icing flat (see pics), so there wasn't a lot of frosting, which I love! Also, the cake itself was very fresh and moist! The flavors of the cake went very well with the frosting!! I absolutely enjoyed the great selection of the flavors. read more
I placed a last minute order for a cake and was very happy with the final product. I first ordered a red velvet naked cake, then looking at their Instagram I realized that they were able to decorate it with fresh flowers, I called (two says before the pick up date) and asked them if they could do it for me to what they said yes! I only had to bring the flowers. My girlfriend LOVED her cake and we ate it all! read more

Review of the Cupcakes ONLY! This week I was inspired by a dear friend of mine from high school, who considers herself a cupcake connoisseur. She travels far and wide sampling the best of the best, and after conquering New York City, she recently laid her sights on our fair town. For this week's review, I decided to gather a sampling from the big three cupcake bakeries, Crumbs Bake Shop, Carlo's Bakery, and Sweet, and perform my own Pastry Pepsi Challenge. I bought 4 similar cupcakes from each of the shops and brought them back to my apartment and set up a blind taste test for my roommates and myself. The results may surprise you. Sweet - I wouldn't expect many people to know about this small bakery on the corner of 4th and Garden, but they definitely have what it takes to keep up with the big boys. The shop is small and they only offer a few varieties each day. However, they also offer mini cupcakes, so you can try out a greater variety during your visit. The Vanilla with Chocolate Frosting, the Chocolate with Vanilla Frosting, the Pumpkin, and the Red Velvet Cupcake were approximately the same size as Carlo's and almost the same price at a total of $10.50. The cupcakes weren't as aesthetically appetizing as the competitors, but they were a perfect example of not judging a book by its cover. Winning 8 out of the 16 votes, Sweet came out on top with their perfectly moist morsels. Their cupcakes also struck a perfect balance of cake and icing that never left me feeling like checking my insulin. Bottom Line: In this clash of cupcakes, Sweet cooked up marvelously moist morsels that made them the top tasty treat. (How's that alliteration for you!) read more

I love to bake and have a sweet tooth so by nature I had to try this place out when my boyfriend told me about it! We were welcomed by a nice girl in the back (I assume it's the kitchen) as well as the owner who asked us what we'd like to devour. Her recommendations were that everything was fairly popular, for cupcakes in particular: the chocolate bottom, red velvet and carrot being the top favorites by her customers. I personally have a unhealthy addiction to peanut butter so I went for the fluffer nutter cupcake, my boyfriend going with carrot. They have two sizes of each flavor which I think is a neat idea, I can't recall the prices but couldn't have been that bad bc it didn't strike me as expensive when I glanced. I'd love to come back for other baked sweets, the majority of the selection was cupcakes. I am not a huge fan of cupcakes but they were named just perfectly. read more

I can't believe I just paid 95 for this.. 45 for the cake itself and then 50 for the customization... acme cakes look better than this! I can't speak for the taste yet, as the party is tomorrow, but honestly I am embarrassed to put this cake on the table. The flowers on the top are very pretty, but this cut out princess monstrosity... is something else. read more
I found this place courtesy of yelp. I was in the area and did a search for peanut butter because I had a craving and this was one of the places that popped up. And I am quite glad that I chose to stop by! Firstly the store is incredibly cute. It is on the corner and has a very adorable store front with big windows. The interior is quite pretty. The walls are white with black tree branches and birds on them. Very inviting. The girls who work here are very nice. Customer service is important and they do it right here. The girl who served me smiled, and kept up small talk, even asked me where I was from and recommended which cupcakes I should try! When I mentioned I was paying with a credit card she said they have a $10 minimum but that it was okay and she'd let me have it if it was less (my order came out to $12 however since I wanted to try a buncha different cupcakes!) As for the cupcakes, they all look delicious. And what's wonderful is that they offer mini-cupcakes. So if you wanna try a flavor but don't want a normal sized one you can get a mini! I got two minis, two cupcakes, and a large ice latte. The cupcakes I tried were the peanut butter, marshmellow, chocolate cocunut, and pumpkin. As I sit here writing this I have not tasted the pumpkin yet but ate the other three and omnomnom were they good! Stop by here if you can! It's worth it! read more
If you're looking for cupcakes this is the spot to order them, a great mom and pop shop right near Church Square Park, so if you're with kids and have a sweet tooth and need some caffeine, this would be the place to satisfy your craving. I would recommend the vanilla cupcake with chocolate buttercream frosting icing on top it costs around $3.25 they also sell minis for $1.75, they also do custom cakes but no gluten free, there is bike and car parking available, they accept cash or cc . They normally close at 6 pm & no bathroom . read more

This place is perfection! Customer service was on point. I never ordered a cake before, and the woman on the phone was patient and made great suggestions! We ended up going with one layer of chocolate and one of vanilla with chocolate mouse in between and vanilla frosting. Not only did the cake look amazing, but it tasted phenomenal!!! I The decorator was so creative and our unicorn cake was everything we were hoping it would be. read more

Cute little bakery in the middle of Hoboken. Fun cupcake flavors and friendly staff! I love their mini cupcakes, so you can taste a bunch without overdosing on sugar. My boyfriend and I came on a Sunday morning. We were the only customers eating in, but saw multiple pick-up customers in just a half hour. We ordered 4 mini cupcakes: vanilla with vanilla frosting, chocolate with chocolate frosting, fluffed nutter (our favorite!) with peanut butter and marshmallow frosting, and "black bottom" - a brownie cupcake with cookie dough. Would definitely come back. Great place for a quick treat and a cup of coffee, or to stop and get a box of cupcakes as a gift! read more

I got a 6 inch red velvet cake here. Not only was it delicious, but very beautiful (didn't get a customized cake.. just a basic one). At $25, the cake can easily serve 8 people. The cream cheese frosting is very smooth and the cake is moist. I will definitely be coming back the next time I need to order a cake. I also tried their cupcakes awhile ago.. also great. read more
