I saw this at Alameda and had to try it. They were the best cupcakes I've ever had!! My favorite was the Snickerdoodle (not pictured). The crusty top was the best part and I give it a 10/10. The cake part was really soft and not too dense and the frosting was light and not too sweet. It's perfect for a sweet tooth craving that's won't be too overwhelming. I've also never seen such a huge cupcake so that was a big plus. The service was amazing. The guy that helped us was super friendly and approachable. I would love to try more flavors next time we're in Alameda! read more

Overall not bad, however I was not a huge fan. The frosting is the most disappointing to me. It has little to no flavor and is lacking sugar IMO. It's very bland and boring. The cupcake part itself was good, but also didn't WOW me. Cupcakes such as sprankles cupcakes are worlds above these one. I wasted $25 on 4 of them. read more

Just about the best cupcakes EVER!! The new flavor, I think it's called "Miss Daisy" with raspberry compote is fantastic! Worth it! I can only get them when I travel to Bay Area for business. read more

I see this "food truck" outside Emeryville Decathlon almost every time I'm there, so I finally decided to try it out when I saw that someone else was at the window. Usually I don't see anyone around and I was confused for the longest time if it was even an actual food truck because it said catering on the side of the truck. Decided on the Snickerdoodle cupcake. I think all of the cupcakes are $5. It was placed into a little take-out container and I was also provided with a fork and napkin to enjoy on the spot! Honestly, I was really disappointed with the frosting. It lacked flavor so it just tasted like chunks of fat. The cake part was delicious though and had a hint of sweetness. Maybe it was just a miss on the Snickerdoodle because the lady who got the Chocolate Explosion flavor looked like her socks definitely got knocked off. 3 stars on flavor/quality, 5 stars on concept and ability to enjoy the cupcake mess-free. read more

These are the best cupcakes ever, I promise you no other cupcake truck is worth the calories. Better than Sprinkles or any other bakery's sad attempt of trying to sell cupcakes. My serotonin levels go up whenever I spot the cute light pink truck. I will follow them around Oakland and Alameda just to indulge in a Carmel By The Sea cupcake (chocolate devils food cake filled with caramel inside and caramel buttercream frosting on top). The employees are always very sweet and gracious and have been for the last 10 years I've been buying. You can check their Facebook and twitter(x) for location updates. read more

Sweet Treat Stop - Cupcakes! - Desserts Near Me

I discovered this food truck while visiting off the grid in Alameda. I wasn't planning on grabbing any desserts, but after seeing the beautiful cupcake designs I just had to pick up a few (or six). We tried: + Marilyn (Raspberry) + Carrot Cake + Lemon + Pumpkin Spice + Raspberry & Chocolate + Strawberry Shortcake Every flavor we tried was absolutely delicious and the flavors were exactly as described. The cake was fluffy and light, while the fruit compote inside was the true star of the show. I was a little overwhelmed by the amount of frosting, but I just scraped it off to the side. I would definitely stop by again next time I see this truck! read more

There cupcakes are amazing. I have been buying these scrumptious treats for events for the last three years since stumbling on their business at South Shore in Alameda.

Must share them they are so big! read more

Audrey made us a beautiful German Chocolate Cake for my grandmother's 70th birthday. My grandma said she's never tasted anything so delicious, she kept going back for more helpings and she's not a big cake eater, but German Chocolate is her favorite. Audrey was delightful to work with and the cake turned out so beautiful! We'll definitely be ordering more cakes and cupcakes in the future read more

Seeing Sweet Treat Stop, my thought was "oh, how cute - a pink cupcake truck". They were parked not too far from OTG Alameda, on the street. The few cupcakes they had left were fancy, looked quite delicious and yummy - nice presentation. However, the drawback was the price of $4.00 for one cupcake. I changed my mind quickly, as I wasn't quite feeling it - to pay $4.00 for a cupcake. It's nothing against the gentleman selling the cupcakes. I mean he was helpful and friendly. It's just that I'm a penny pincher and cheap. It's the principality, man, and again, let me repeat myself - I'm not gonna pay $4.00. Now if them cupcakes were going at 2 for $7.00 or 3 for $10.50, I might consider buying them. So my visit to this truck was short and sweet. Let me move on. read more

Found myself mysteriously lured to this truck from the parking lot on the opposite side of the street. Maybe it was the hot pink color of the truck that seemed out of place or maybe it was the Truck's name "sweet Treat Stop" sending subliminal messages to my stomach saying feed me sweets or treats ... Just feed me. Too good to pass up, I parked the car and tossed aside my list of errands and made a beeline for Sweet Treat Stop. The truck looked like it was closing up shop and had the motor running but I made it just in time. I was greeted with a smile from a worker in the truck who explained that they were having a "Pi Day" special, since it was 3/14. She showed us the three different pies they had for sale. I went with the coconut pie which was a banana and coconut layered pie in a small canned jar for $5. Looking at the small canned jar with my son standing next to me, it really didn't look like much. But once we dug in, it was a totally different story. I twisted open the jar seal and the coconut aroma hit me like a ton of bricks; my mouth watered. I took a spoonful of the mini pie careful to get all layers of it on my spoon along with the breading. It was one of those tastings you wanted to savor, so I closed my eyes and let the pie melt off my tongue. The moment of indulgence didn't last long before I felt a sharp tug at my leg reminding me there were greater forces at work ready to tear into some pie too, so I handed over my spoon and pie. Apparently, the spoon only got in the way; before long my son had his entire mouth in the jar. He enjoyed every single last crumb of his treat. (++) Pi Day Special--Coconut pie (+) good location in Emeryville--Baby R' Us parking lot, across from Target. read more

I want to start off by saying, i love all things sweet, but when it comes to frosting im not a big fan of buttercream, but when i say i ENJOYED and SAVORED EVERY LAST BITE OF THESE CUPCAKES. My tastebuds exploded and my heart cried when I finished the cupcake. I ordered 8 flavors and loved every single one, my favorite would have to be Plain Jane & the peppermint cupcake. The owner ( im assuming he was the one helping me at the cupcake truck ) was very welcoming. He mentioned that the cakes were sweet but not too sweet and he's right! Do your mouth a flavor and try out this bakery! You will not be disappointed I would show pictures but my family and i ate all the cupcakes read more

The green tea cupcake had very mild tea flavors. If you're going for a strong taste, this cupcake won't meet your expectations...but I like the subtlety of the matcha. The raspberry chocolate one doesn't have a lot of chocolate notes, so chocoholics might be a bit disappointed but tastes good to me! The best ones are still the fruit-flavored ones -- strawberry shortcake one and the lemon zest one. Both were filled inside with their respective flavors. The lemon curd in the latter cupcake was very yummy. These will be the ones I'll choose next time, too! One might wonder why the bakers didn't come with all the cuppy cakes fully-frosted and ready to go...that's so you can customize your cupcake. Either already frosted, without frosting, or extra frosting (for extra $1). If it comes with buttercream frosting, I would probably get plain cake. I've made buttercream once, and I know there are pounds of butter in that frosting. Not on my waist! read more

These are hands-down the best cupcakes in the bay area! The salted caramel chocolate cake is my favorite but I've tried almost every flavor and never been disappointed. The cake is a fine crumb, very tender, and never dry. Most of the frostings are Swiss buttercream which is lighter and fluffier than American (which I find too dense.) They even keep well until the next day. read more

Ordered a box (online) from LA for a sibling that lives in Berkeley. The online ordering was very simple. The company called later that day to confirm my order (very communicative).

We get enough of these cup cakes! They are delicious. My favorite is the strawberry shortcake.

Let's begin with the fact that their cupcakes are so good you would want to walk down the street kissing people (pre covid, of course). They have a wonderful variety of the best cupcakes. You could make a month of trying a different flavor every day. Great and pleasant customer service puts the icing on the experience. They now have contactless delivery. You can lie in bed and begin your sweet journey to My 600 lb life. read more

The Sweet Treat Shop is a very cute and appealing pink truck that I have often seen parked outside of the Alameda South Shore Shopping Center on several occasions. They are indeed a cupcake truck and pride themselves in baking the cupcakes on the truck and making sure the customer is getting a fresh cupcake every time. I was on my way to OTG Alameda and saw the truck and decided I would give them a try instead of going to Cupkates since a friend of mine bragged about how delicious these cupcakes were. Walking up to the window they had a big variety of cupcakes on display, they had about 14 flavors available this particular day which is a huge amount coming off of a truck. I decided to go with the Red Velvet of course and then the Strawberry Shortcake as well, these cupcakes will run you $4 each which in my opinion is a little too pricey and weren't worth it in my case. The Strawberry Shortcake cupcake was a white cake with fresh strawberry compote inside topped with a Chantilly Creme frosting and a dollop of strawberry compote, this was my favorite of the two. The cake was super moist and light, the strawberry compote went great with the cupcake and the Chantilly creme frosting was also very light and allowed to taste all the different flavors. When the frost is too heavy and overpowering I feel like you aren't able to taste the cupcake itself. This cupcake alone got 4 stars but I was saving the best for last or so I thought. The Red Velvet was a huge disappointment, the frosting didn't look like the typical thick cream cheese frosting I was used to and it certainly didn't taste like it either. The frosting had a hint of a cream cheese taste but was bitter on the back end and the cupcake was very heavy and had too much of a boxed cake flavor, more chocolate tasting than a typical Red Velvet. I was very disappointed, usually if the frosting isn't right on a Red Velvet cupcake I can get past it and still indulge but with the frosting and the cupcake not being good I could hardly stomach eating half of it. It's disappointing and a waste of $4. I will say that the customer service was great and they did a good job of selling you those cupcakes and giving me pointers about leaving the Strawberry Shortcake one out for too long. They were very nice, welcoming and personable but I'm not sure that will bring me back here. If I was in the area I would go back for the Strawberry Shortcake cupcake but that's about it, I don't think I would try any of their other flavors. I did see on their website that they do cookies, mini pies in a jar and different pastries but none of those were available. If they had all those items I would be more likely to return. read more

First Timer? Yes! When: At the OTG in Alameda on a Saturday from 11am- 4pm Would I come back again? He'll yeah buddy!! Ok So I'm going to try to write a review without drooling all over my keyboard! HAHA Man this place is SO damn good! It all started as I was on my way to OTG in Alameda and I seen the pink truck saying Sweet Treat. I looked at my friend: "Oh, We should try this." We got to the truck and my friend was not interested in tasting it but I couldn't back out. My TUMMY was all in! :) Don't get it twisted though, $4.00 a cupcake is kind of mind blowing. Like really dude? But in reality the taste of this was Yummy to my tummy! I swear I was having a orgasm in my mouth and didn't want it to end. Like really! :) Customer service is great! The man on the truck was such a flirt! Don't mean to bust his bubble but hey it is what it is! The names of the cupcakes were so interesting and the thought of having another one just makes me go crazy right now! The flavors that sounded delicious to me were: Madagascar vanilla (the best), snicker doodle, Marilyn raspberry cupcake, red velvet, Carmel, strawberry shortcake. Just Some things that they should change: The boxes that the put the cupcakes in. Like come on, after paying $4.00 I want to make sure that my cupcake will be ok till I can get home and devour it and the little box that they gave me just wasn't cutting it! But that sure doesn't stop me from coming back! :) When you see that pink truck make SURE you stop! Your sweet tooth deserves it! read more

I just had the pleasure of indulging in a wonderfully moist, airy, bite of chocolate goodness, aka the Chocolate Explosion this afternoon. Honestly, I have to say it was like rainbows and fairies and pink unicorns all in my mouth, it really was a taste of childhood. Yum! I never thought I would see the day when I was more willing to pay $3.50 for a cupcake instead of putting that money towards my gas tank, but this was well worth it. If I happen to see the pink truck cruising down the street again, I will have to flag it down. Delish! read more

Great dessert after all the food my boyfriend and I demolished at Off The Grid - Alameda. I had the Caramel By The Sea cupcake & my boyfriend had the Red Velvet cupcake. Caramel By The Sea had butterscotch caramel filling topped with frosting and a dash for sea salt. It wasn't too sweet either, which made it perfect and decadent. Red Velvet Cupcake was also delicious! I've had several red velvet cupcakes in the past & I find the frosting too sweet. But this Red Velvet Cupcake had the exact sweetness to it. It was nice, moist, & it didn't make me want to throw out the frosting because it was too sweet. read more

We spotted this in the parking lot while going to Target. We had to try this place. I had the lemon cupcake. Personally, I didn't really like the frosting as it just tasted like butter. The cupcake was very moist and I liked how it went with the lemon filling. Overall, it wasn't that sweet. I tried my friend's red velvet. I liked it more. Definitely having that the next I go. read more

YUM! We tried the red velvet last week and it was great. The cake is light and moist. But the girl in the truck was a little slow and not very efficient until I told her to hurry up. It's $4 per cupcake! My coworker just bought our team cupcakes because today is very crappy day and I got to try the lemon. YUM! read more

They were parked outside of Target parking lot. I ordered Lemon and Sea Salt Caramel. Pros: - Very friendly staff - Moist cupcakes - Frosting had good consistency, not too sweet but sweet enough - cupcakes were larger in size than normal Cons: - Feel like 4$ a cupcake is a bit much for a cupcake... This is coming from someone who doesn't underrstand the cupcake fad. One single street-food cupcake is worth 4$? I never understood that. I think 3$ would be reasonable but no more than that. - Decorations for cupcake are nothing special - Caramel on Sea Salt tasted store bought (and homemade is so easy to do!...) - The choclate cake part of the sea salt caramel tasted more like dark chocolate cake. Too bitter. All in all it's a pretty good cupcake, just not loving the price. read more

I will follow them to the moon and back. This place has cupcakes for everyone. Not a fan of frosting? Try the strawberry shortcake. It's made with a light whipped topping, delicious strawberry flavor and just the right touch of sweetness. Anyone with a real sweet tooth would probably enjoy any of the chocolate cupcakes. The batter is moist, and the frosting is rich. They come up with so many cute, sweet creations, I would love to try them all but must exercise self control. The only thing I would change is more frosting. The cupcake to frosting ratio always leaves me wanting more frosting to go with the rest of the cupcake. At the same time, this is what makes it good for everyone. People who don't really care for frosting will find this to be a good balance and people who love frosting will be so please with the flavor, they won't think to complain. read more

My wife & I found The Sweet Treat Stop food truck in Alameda over the weekend, right next to the Off the Grid event at the South Shore Center. We had just had lunch and needed some sugar to finish off the afternoon. There was a large crowd in front of this truck, so it had to be good, right? Well, when we got toward the front of the line, we got a glimpse of the different delectable delights the truck was offering. After much debate, my wife got a Snickerdoodle cupcake, while I chose the Chocolate Explosion cupcake. The first warning I received came from one of the bakers. She asked us if we wanted our cupcakes boxed up, or served with forks. The next sign came when she handed us the cupcakes, and our arms almost fell off after lifting these suckers! Finally, I took a bite out of my cupcake. They were not kidding when they named this treat "Chocolate Explosion." My mouth almost blew up with all the chocolate in my mouth. The frosting was very silky, the cake was light and moist, and there was a dollop of chocolate mousse inside the cake, like a prize inside a Cracker Jack box. My wife had a similar experience with her Snickerdoodle cupcake. She said it was like eating a cinnamon roll in cake form. I'm sure I'll try it eventually, as I plan to eat my way through their menu! read more
