    Grab and go cake
    Shayla M.

    Sweet Melissas has been my go to bakery to pick up a dessert for the holidays. This is the second year in the row that I have decided to leave the baking to someone else. I arrived early to avoid the wait to make my dessert selection. The bakery does not take preorders for their holiday desserts so it's first come first serve. This year I went with a grab and go cake and an apple pie. The grab and go cakes were not as festive looking as last year, but they had plenty of cakes to choose from. I think they placed a heavier focus this year on their pies. There were several difffent pies to choose between. I went with the caramel apple crumb pie. The pie was delicious. The filling and the crust ratio was just right. This I preferred the pie this year over the vanilla cake that I selected. The bakery also offers many other desserts like cake pops, cupcakes, cookies, coffee and other drinks.

    I was visiting Delaware for Thanksgiving and looked high and low for cute cafés that served macaroons in Townsend and this was the only lovely restaurant that came up. We were pleasantly surprised by the holiday decorations outside that were perfect for a photo op. There was an outside dining area, but the only tables that we saw inside were for a classroom that was closed off. The café was pretty busy with visitors, but the pace weny by smoothly. The barista's weren't the most engaging, I enjoyed my peppermint bark latte.I ordered the pumpkin spice snickerdoodle and fall macaroons. Sadly They were all super crunchy, flaky, and hollow on the top and bottom pieces. I enjoyed my iced peppermint bark latte. I loved that it wasn't too sweet. I ordered two cake pops and a chocolate chip biscotti as gifts. The cake pops were doughy on the inside which is not my preference but I know some people like that. The Biscotti were enjoyed by the gift receiver.

    Never fails, Sweet Melissa is the go to place. I get at least four to five cakes a year from here. Sweet Melissa cakes are tasty and perfectly put together. Location is very nice, especially with their holiday decorations.

    Whether it's a birthday cake or a just because treat Sweet Melissa's always delivers! Not only do the cakes look amazing but they taste as great as they look. I've been using this business for years. This year has been difficult with planning dates and she has been flexible with me while I needed to change a date (with appropriate notice) for the cakes. I really appreciate the kindness and flexibility.

    zombie cake pops...too sweet and the chocolate coating is way too thick.

    Cute store, very friendly staff, very clean. Visually pleasing cakes and desserts. Cupcakes, cake pops and everything we've gotten from Sweet Melissa's has been...ironically way too sweet. Latest sugar overload is cake cake pops. Really dense and super sweet, the chocolate coating is far too thick to make the cake pop enjoyable.

    Ordered my son's second birthday cake from Sweet Melissas'. I was a bit nervous communicating the cake design by email only but they really delivered! The cake was exactly what I was looking for and tasted fantastic! All in all great experience and great cake! I'll definitely order from here again!

    I was always looking for a good bakery in Delaware and I looked up cakes and found this place in Middletown. I am not from Middletown so it was a little bit of a drive but it was worth it. The place looked appealing and very boutique like. There was an area to sit on the side. The whole vibe of the place was upscale, creative and just what I was looking for. They had ready to go cakes in the refrigerated area. There were a variety to choose from in colors, flavors and sizes. They looked way more expensive than the price tag revealed. The staff was courteous and waited while we picked out some more things to purchase in the glass area in front of the register. There were people coming in and out of the store and staffed enough that there was virtually no wait. They wrote on our cake and we were on our way. The cake was a hit for the intended recipient and it was very tasty. We will be back!

    We've been with this shop since it started in a converted house in 2014. Now that we've moved to another state, we always make a point to stop here anytime we come to visit. They have keto and traditional pastries and desserts for grab and go but always have an AMAZING variety and selection. A few times in the past we have used their custom services and they never disappoint. The process is super easy and the communication was great. Melissa and her senior staff make THE best tasting cakes and the detail is really intricate. They also have a coffee bar and a seating area. Pre-COVID, they offered classes in the seating area and they were always fun! Our recent visit, we picked up a couple of treats and as usual - they were scrumptious but the customer service was a little short. There were two younger girls kind of snickering and slightly impatient (we hadn't engaged them yet because we were not ready to order but were looking around and we got the impression we we're holding them up from something). Otherwise, we've had a great experience and love that we have something like this to being the nostalgia when we visit home.

    Thrilled the folks with a 4 layer vanilla party cake for their 60th Anniversary. PERFECT!

    So happy to have found this bakery! Very pleasant and helpful staff. Very welcoming and a PARTY for the eyes. Delicious cakes, coffee crumb cake and lattes! I'm a fan!

    Delicious cake pops!

    See all

    Pretty good. I like their coffee. The service is fine, can't complain. Nice atmosphere. They play the music a little too loud I guess.
