I had just finished eating my lunch (from another nearby food truck) and was getting ready to snatch a bike from the Capital Bikeshare rack and head back to the office when all of a sudden, this big pink truck pulls up (near Metro Center @ 12th & G) and I just couldn't resist! I ordered a cinnamon roll cupcake for myself and a carrot cake cupcake to take home to my hubby. I wasn't really sure what to expect with the cinnamon roll one, but I thought, "it's just ONE cupcake, give it a try!" Booooooy, am I glad that I did! The icing is actually topped with cinnamon & sugar, the bottom of the cupcake had a cinnamon & sugar like crust and it was simply FANTASTIC! The actual cake part was very moist and had a cinnamon swirls throughout. I was pleasantly surprised at how well they did with this particular flavor cupcake. I have not yet had a bite of the carrot cupcake yet (I wanna give my husband the chance to have the 1st bite of his own cupcake), but I did take a lil' swipe of the icing and it was really good! The price was on point w/other DC area "cupcakeries" coming in around $3 each. There have been times when I paid between $3-4 for a cupcake, only to taste it and feel like I've been robbed because the cupcake wasn't worth $0.25. In this case, I was happy to fork over the $6 & change because these fluffy puffs here were definitely worth it. Being the cupcake lover that I am, I can't wait to try some of the other flavors! [Added bonus - she had a cupcake box for 2 that really helped protect them from getting totally smashed while riding bikes the rest of the day!] read more

Well, Nick's ROTD for here spurred mine considering I forgot to write a review, and I was with him one of the times he went. So I guess that's what I get for not reviewing. He who hesitates is lost!!!! ROTD!!!! Anyway, I agree with Nicko that these cupcake are pretty good. I like to see if I can keep it at my desk all day and not eat it until the work day is over. It's like a little game I play. How long can I stare at the yummy cupcake without eating it? I prefer these cupcakes over some others in the McPherson Square area. Usually the cupcake truck likes to join the lunch truck scene at Franklin Park at 13th and K on Fridays, especially during the summer. I agree about the line too. Sometimes you can get lucky and just walk up but not usually. But at least it's worth the wait!! read more

A detailed review would not be enough, so i will just say that Sweetbites is a worthy rival to Curbside Cupcakes and Sprinkles! read more

***UPDATE**** I still really like the cupcakes here. The cookies & cream is a favorite as well as pina colada (perfect pineapple coconut cake) and carrot cake (yummy maple frosting). The cupcakes here are always fresh, moist and tasty. Service is fast and the owner is very pleasant. She provides great customer service while running the truck. I would definitely recommend stopping by if the truck is in your area. read more

Sweetbites Cafe and Bakery - Cookies & cream and cinnamon roll cupcakes...Yummy! - Desserts Near Me

In the words of Will Farrell in Elf, "I'm in love, I'm in love and I don't care who knows!" That's how I feel about Sweetbites' Pumpkin Spice cupcake. Absolutely.Delicious. I've been around the cupcake block. I started out enjoying Cake Love (mint chocolate chip was my fave), then moved on to Crumbs (shout out to Black Bottom Cheesecake....though it's so big that I feel like a glutton after eating it), and dabbled among a few other establishments (Red Velvet, Bakeshop, that Georgetown place - meh, and others). But last week's visit to Sweetbites has made me a changed woman. The cupcake was soooo moist and the icing was soft and cool. A weird way to describe icing, I know. And lucky for me, the person working the truck said they'll be selling Pumpkin Spice until the Spring. I'm so happy! And $3.25 is not pricey around here. read more

Sweet Bites is hands down the BEST cupcake provider (trucks & bakery) in DC. I've had AT LEAST 20 CUPCAKES & pastries from here and keep coming back for MORE, see below in order of my favorite! -Cookie Dough -Cinnamon Bun -Apple Caramel -Tiramisu -Salted Caramel -Eggnog -Gingerbread -Lemon -Pumpkin -Bittersweet Chocolate Ganache -Boston Cream -Bread Apple Pudding -Lemon Bars -Cheesecake Brownie -Gingerbread Cookies What makes the cupcakes unique is the aesthetic, innovative flavors, moist fluffy cake, sweet frosting, and superior customer service. The cupcakes truly resemble the flavor. If I was blind-folded, I could accurately guess the flavor without fumbling. The ratio and combination between the cake and frosting is spot on. The cake is just as good as the frosting, which is rare, usually one is better than the other. At $3.25, the cupcakes are a good size (same size as Hello Cupcake) and decently priced. The customer service is excellent. Sandra, the food truck owner, is inspirational and very passionate about cupcakes. As a scientist, Sandra uses her chemistry knowledge to create unique cupcake flavors. Her hard work has truly paid off. I enjoy talking to Sandra and she very well deserves tips. I usually go for the weekly special flavors. My FAVORITES are COOKIE DOUGH, CINNAMON BUN, APPLE CARAMEL, and TIRAMISU. The Cookie Dough frosting is too die for and perfectly paired with the very moist chocolate chip cake. The Cinnamon Bun is dainty with cinnamon swirls and cream cheese frosting that melts in your mouth. There was such a high demand for the Cinnamon Bun cupcake that it became one of the 11 daily flavors. I've had many Apple Caramel cupcakes at other bakeries and they can't get it right and fall short of Sweet Bites. The moist cupcake, with APPLE FILLING, and gooey cream cheese frosting tastes so much like a slice of apple pie that honestly I forget that I'm eating a cupcake. The luscious Tiramisu cupcake is delicious with brown swirls and cream cheese frosting. Tiramisu is a rare flavor and Hello Cupcake is the only other bakery that also has the tiramisu flavor. Hello Cupcake has a different spin on it with a mocha cupcake and mascarpone frosting, and a coffee bean to top it off. While both cupcakes are delicious and closely resemble the dessert, I like the aesthetics of Sweet Bites better. You can't go wrong with any cupcake at Sweet Bites. However, they are some cupcake flavors that aren't as special or memorable: Bittersweet Ganache, Boston Cream, and Lemon. I probably wouldn't get these flavors again, I'm trying to think back on what they taste like and am drawing a blank. I had the Gingerbread cupcake with Marshmallow Buttercream Frosting and I honestly couldn't taste the marshmallow. It just tastes like normal buttercream to me. Although the cupcake was good, the brown sugar frosting (the one used for Salted Caramel cupcake) would have been a better choice. Also the Eggnog cupcake was good, I enjoyed the moist rum cake, but the frosting needs some work, it tastes more like lemon than eggnog. I had the SALTED CARAMEL cupcake and the frosting is AMAZING! The sea salt and caramel drizzle is perfect to top off the brown sugar frosting. The chocolate cake was a disappointment. It was rather dense and caramel filling would have done the trick. The 11 daily flavors are underwhelming and get overshadowed by the rotating weekly and seasonal flavors. I wish Sandra tried a little harder with the daily flavors, they don't peek my interest. The cake portion needs some work. So, I would RECOMMEND SKIPPING the DAILY FLAVORS (aside from Cinnamon Bun) and just ordering the seasonal or special weekly flavors. I don't recommend some of the other sweet bites like the apple bread pudding, lemon bars, gingerbread cookies, and cheesecake brownies. They left a sour taste in my mouth. At $5.25, the apple bread pudding is a bit overpriced. Served warm with caramel sauce, the pudding is a decent size and triple the size of a cupcake. I made the unfortunate mistake of getting both the pudding and cupcake and eating them at the same time (I was so eager to try them), that I was on a sugar high the rest of the day and one step closer to diabetes. If the pudding was the same price as the cupcake, I wouldn't mind giving it another go. The gingerbread cookies, these with a huge disappointment. They were hard as a rock, good thing I didn't chip my tooth on the first bite. The cheesecake brownies were pretty dry and a let down. I just scraped off the top of the cheesecake portion and some of the fudge that I could salvage, and then threw the rest out. Although the lemon bars were a few notches above Corner Bakery's lemon bars, they honestly weren't my favorite. I RECOMMEND STICK to the CUPCAKES. Overall, I love Sandra and Sweet Bites cupcakes. I'm a loyal customer and a big fan of her cupcakes. If you see a pink food truck and and a friendly blond hair woman, stop by for a few SWEET BITES! :) read more

Farragut Food Truck Friday!! WHOOOO!! I'm a cake fiend. I admit it. So when cupcakes were starting their trend down here, I was in heaven. Admittedly, I've only tried three cupcake places in the area, Curbside Cupcakes, Hello Cupcake!, and now Sweetbites. I'm a fiend, but I can't go chasing down *every* cupcake place in town and expect to have a job! :) Today I treated myself to a cupcake for dessert, and got the chocolate peanut butter. I was pleasantly surprised. Usually peanut butter icings are WAY too thick and WAY too rich for me to swallow, but the peanut butter icing on this was light, and not rich at all, with a general taste of peanut butter that doesn't overwhelm you. For those that say the cupcakes were too dry, I hope you come back, because this one was deliciously moist almost all the way through. I found some dry areas, but honestly, it's going to happen in a cupcake. If it was 50% dry I would be upset, but 98% of it was completely moist, so I was really happy with it! The lady serving them was incredibly nice as well. When I get my waistline down to a reasonable width, I'll be back for more, but now I must head to my treadmill and walk off my dessert! read more

Sweetbites Cafe and Bakery - Peanut Butter chocolate cupcake! Yum! - Desserts Near Me

Holy moly! *Pros: -Pink food truck! -Friendly customer service! -Moist, moist moist cupcake! At first bite, I wondered if the cake was made with cornbread mix! Who knows, but this cake is right on! -Frosting melts in your mouth. Literally. It's that delicious. -This is the first cupcake I've had in the DMV that was equally good in cake and frosting. Usually, one or the other is better, but that is not the case here. The cake and frosting are equally good on their own, and then just meld together to create a small piece of perfection. *Cons: -I can't eat it everyday! -Slightly more expensive than their brick and mortar cousins, annnnd it's not available on a whim. *Verdict: -Five star cupcake! Some of these other cupcakeries should take note! read more

Sweetbites Cafe and Bakery - Double Madagascar Vanilla - Desserts Near Me

I had the red velvet cupcake (RVC) from Sweetbites. Sadly, I was disappointed. You get a regular size cupcake for $3. That's a whole 25 cents more than Georgetown Cupcakes, and I think Georgetown Cupcakes is 100% better! I like my RVC with cream cheese frosting. Sweetbites uses buttercream frosting for its RVC (or at least that's what it tasted like to me). It also didn't really taste like an RVC. It looked like it, but it didn't have that special taste that distinguishes RVCs from the rest of the cupcake flavors (I think its a cocoa-like flavor). I also thought the texture was off. This cupcake had more of a cake texture in the shape of a cupcake. I think cupcakes should be a little more dense. Anyway, I don't think I'll be going to Sweetbites in the future. read more

Certainly these are five star cupcakes. Moist, good frosting to cake ratio, interesting and original flavors. The addition of coffee drinks is a nice touch. If you've ever participated in the whole DC cupcake craze, you already know exactly what you are in for. I will add, however, that so far the cupcake trucks have been my favorite cupcakes. My only qualm against this place is the line. I understand that a long line broadcasts to passers by that your food is worth waiting for. It really is the best free advertising there is (even better than a load of five star Yelp reviews). But the line at this cart really seems to move far too slowly! Each cupcake box is slowly hand folded at the time of sale for maximum freshness. Each credit card transaction is processed with the utmost care and attention to detail, even for a single cupcake! I'm sure you know what is best for your business, but I'll offer my unsolicited advice anyway. How about credit cards only for transactions over 5 dollars. Boxes made beforehand for orders of multiple cupcakes and bags/napkins for the rest? I guess the point is, chances are if I am there for cupcakes, I've just stepped out of another line to get my lunch, and this second line is feeling awfully optional. Anyway, the truck is by my office today, so I will probably stop by, so line or no, you seem to be doing your job right. read more

I had been following Sandra's Twitter feed (I never use the site for updates, but unfortunately it's one of the only ways to find out where my favorite mobile foods are going to be) for quite a while, contemplating when I would make the effort to track down her truck just to get a sweet fix. I'm not a huge craver of sweet things, most of my indulgences are either in the form of fresh berries or dark and bitter chocolates, so trekking out in the hot summer heat to get a cupcake was never at the top of my priorities list. However, on this fortuitous Friday she happened to have her Sweetbites truck (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/5Fhg5tUzpI2m_bleaNHKtw?select=yNSM8oxQ5nKLjZCMuvVoug) parked just a few steps away from the DC Slices truck I visited earlier, in Farragut Square, so after inhaling my 2 slices of pizza I decided to make a little extra room for some of her treats. After gazing in her little preview window I was more than sold. The variety of cupcakes available (along with a few other miscellaneous sweets for those not buying in to the trend) was pretty large for a mobile operation, and quite a few of them sounded right up my alley. I decided to just get one to eat then, and a 4 pack to take home for the wife and I to split, since she was flying back in to DC later that night and I knew she would be jealous if I consumed cupcakes without sharing. The choice for immediate enjoyment was easy, the Pina Colada cupcake (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/5Fhg5tUzpI2m_bleaNHKtw?select=1Ji692SZCwVk38R2LQA1bA) with buttercream rum frosting. It may look simple on the outside, but as soon as I took a bite (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/5Fhg5tUzpI2m_bleaNHKtw?select=1QTfMpcljKhH0dGXo5ka_g) I was hit with some of the most wonderful flavors I've ever gotten from a cupcake. It's kept refrigerated, which is why I chose to have that one right away, and the chilled temperature amplified the flavors even more. The cake was extremely moist, but held together well, with little shreds of coconut and pineapple inside, and the frosting made with Malibu rum was heavenly. It tasted about two hundred times better than any pina colada drink I've ever had, for sure. Nicole's flight ended up getting delayed several times, and since she didn't get in until sometime around 1am, we wound up saving the other 4 cupcakes til after lunch the next day. They held up wonderfully. We began with the Cookies N' Cream (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/5Fhg5tUzpI2m_bleaNHKtw?select=TlHRd_UdbqffHlgckLytyQ), which tasted like the pure essence of Oreo (even without the obligatory cookie sticking from the top) and every great version of the ice cream I've ever had. This has always been one of my favorite ice cream flavors, so it was a real treat to see it expressed so well here. Up next was the Bittersweet Chocolate Ganache (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/5Fhg5tUzpI2m_bleaNHKtw?select=uWE-_-4wSR-wJQpG6LdxLg), my favorite of the lunchtime barrage. I loved the layer of dipped Belgian chocolate on top, so smooth and decadent, and the little bit of buttercream frosting that capped it off was just playful enough to tease your appetite with enough non-chocolate flavor to maintain the perfect balance. For me, this was chocolate cupcake perfection. Nicole's favorite was next, the Red Velvet (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/5Fhg5tUzpI2m_bleaNHKtw?select=lYIwQ3Ko0YsPwTjjiGj_OA), which for many people has become the gold standard of a cupcake makers ability to craft a simple yet elegant creation, much like a great chef has to learn how to properly cook an egg before they can truly master the many techniques that follow. It was rich, buttery, and expertly done. There's no doubt a few hours went into perfecting this recipe. The cake and frosting leave your lips in a trance with their buttery delight, I can see why Nicole liked this one the best. For me, the cake lacked flavor somewhat, but texturally it was still pretty amazing. Our final treat was the Chocolate Coconut (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/5Fhg5tUzpI2m_bleaNHKtw?select=JYFcZ6BX_kIPFeAKjG5WJg), perhaps the most simple and straightforward of the bunch. The mound of coconut piled on top is quite intimidating compared to the other cupcakes, but certainly isn't something that we shy away from since we're both coconut fiends. It pretty much tastes exactly like what you would expect it to, so if you like chocolate and coconut, then it's a no-brainer that you'll enjoy this one. After attending the Cupcake Crawl last year (http://www.yelp.com/biz/uye-cupcake-crawl-dc-nova-alexandria#hrid:vBpEOFVQC9vJ3pZgUuMDCg) I would have placed Sandra's truck in the top 2 or 3 of all the places we visited, with a very strong contention for #1 (although I'm not quite ready to oust Baked and Wired just yet). I certainly haven't been to all the cupcakeries in DC, but for a guy I think I've seen my fair share (at least a dozen), so I do have a decent base for comparison. read more

These damn food trucks are making me fat. Fat and happy. Sweetbites is the New Kid on the Food Truck Block. They offer cucpakes priced at $3, along with brownies, scones, muffins and other treats at $2.50. They also serve coffee and a variety of teas. I opted for the brownie while not the best I have ever had, was not too sweet or dense. The brownie was a little more crumbly than I prefer but I liked that it didn't give me a toothache. Although I hate paying $3 for a cupcake, I will probably give them a try. I have no willpower. I managed to catch the truck on its first day at L'Enfant Plaza and chatted it up with the owner, Sandra. She was really friendly and seemed pretty relaxed for her first day on the road. You can follow the truck at http://twitter.com/Sweetbitestruck. read more

The folks in the van are super friendly, but the cupcakes are just OK. To be fair, I'm not big on chocolate - and a lot of their cupcakes are chocolate or a variation thereof, so there very well could be gold somewhere on these 4 wheels. I've tried the Madagascar Vanilla - which was surprisingly lacking in flavor - and the pumpkin cupcakes. Both were just OK but pretty bland. The frosting significantly overshadowed the cake, and I really didn't like texture of the cake. The cupcakes I've tried have also been really dense, and instead of being a nice sweet finish to lunch, ended up being more of a lump in my stomach the remainder of my day at work. read more

Faced with a tempting array of cupcake flavors, it was a tough choice - but carrot cake with maple cream cheese frosting won out! This cupcake was outrageously good. The cake part was moist and well flavored - the frosting was just right too (not overly sweet.) $3 is a little steep for a cupcake, but it's a once in a while treat anyway! read more

I usually have a hard time differentiating a good cupcake from a bad cupcake. After sampling the yummy treats from Sweetbites, mostly every other cupcake place that I have tried is now a bad cupcake! The cupcakes at Sweetbites are so moist and almost melt in your mouth. The icing is like biting into a fluffy mound of cloud. The icing is craveable in itself! The don't use Facebook to update their location status, so you have to keep an eye on Twitter. I still think $3 is alot for a cupcake, but these are the closest ones worth that I have come across. read more

THE BEST CUPCAKE I HAVE EVER HAD--in my life!!! The chocolate peanut butter Cupcake was a cup of heaven. Cake was moist, tasty, not too sweet. The peanut butter frosting made me die a little inside. It was like an orgasm in my throat. When I worked at L'Enfant Plaza on Maryland Ave. These cupcakes were my diet deal breakers. A bit pricey but sooooooooo worth it. Way better than that George-Porge Cupcake place. read more

I didn't realize that this truck even existed (they are not on the food truck tracker that I use). Until I walked down the street in Rosslyn and decided to give them a try. Given that my GF is obsessed with cupcakes I knew I had to pick up a pair for the evening. Priced about average for the cupcake world ($3) it is definitely nice to have this place be right outside the door. The Double Madagascar Vanilla was definitely one of the best cupcakes I have had. I know I will definitely buy it again the next time I see them on the street. read more

After I saw this truck pass by my office around 10 am as I was arriving to work, I was craving a goody from Sweetbites all afternoon. My entire office (like 9 people) went to Matchbox for lunch. As the waiter brought us our check, she asked, "So, you don't want any dessert?" We said no thanks, but really I meant, "Yes, I want dessert, just not from you." I stopped at the Sweetbites truck during our walk back to the office, and 3 of my coworkers joined me, asking what flavors of cupcakes I liked most from this truck. "Ummm, I know I have been talking about this place all morning, but I actually haven't been here yet, and I didn't actually come for the cupcakes. I want a brownie or cookie or something." Unfortunately there were nothing but cupcakes in sight, so I ordered the Raspberry Amaretto. As I waited for my three coworkers to order their cupcakes, I took my cupcake out of the bag, and began to eat my cupcake. I began to lick the frosting, because the frosting is the main indicator of whether I will enjoy my cupcake. It was thick and filling, somewhere in the middle of marshmallow and whipped cream-A little thicker than the typical Pillsbury frosting. It wasn't sweet at all though. I hadn't licked off all the frosting from a cupcake in a really long time, but I did this time. The cake was pretty moist as well. Definitely A-OK, though I really wanted another type of baked good that day. I hope I'm lucky enough to walk by them again while they are carrying the other goodies. As I licked off the frosting from my cupcake, the owner stared at me from inside her truck, stating, "Is it good? I never get to see anyone eat my cupcakes. They just always walk away with their bag/box." Yeah, I am incapable of carrying a cupcake around in something other than my mouth. read more

Sweet Bites are literally the best cupcakes in DC. I often try to start my week with a diet, but it never makes it past Wednesday; because that is when the Sweetbites truck visits my work site. I've eaten Georgetown Cupcakes, Curbside Cupcakes, Red Velvet Cupcakery and Sweet Bites are by far the best I've eaten. Sandra offers a wide variety of choices, from red velvet to salted caramel (my favorite) and all are them are delicious. What I like about her cupcakes compared to other trucks\stands that I've tried, is that you don't have to eat them immediately to enjoy them. I bought a dozen and they were still moist 2 days later. Definitely worth the $ read more

These are near the top of my list of favorite DC cupcakes. I've only tried their Triple European Chocolate. The cake was just perfect. The frosting is a little denser than I usually like, but that's just personal preference. Hmm...I wonder if the frosting on all of their cupcakes is similar...I guess I'm just going to have to try them all and find out. I love that they also have coffee and it's pretty darn good. Update: had a bite of the vanilla cupcake that I brought home for the boyfriend and the frosting was MUCH better after coming to room temp after a few hours. read more

Eh. They're alright. I thought they were too dense & cakey, but the wifey liked the texture. And maybe it's just me, but I prefer the cream cheese frosting on the red velvets, whereas sweetbites uses a whipped cream frosting. Our main problem with the truck was the inefficiency. She needs to get another person to take orders or make boxes or something. One shouldn't have to wait 45 minutes for a food truck cupcake, even if it was that good. (and don't get me started on The Deathstar known as Georgetown Cupcake) The selling points for food truck fare are speed and efficiency, not the novelty of watching someone in a 12 by 5 ft. space get you mediocre food slowly . read more

She's a little slow with the orders, but the cupcakes at this mobile hotspot are seriously packing flavor and richness. Had the peanut butter and the cookies and creme. First off, the cookies and cream is delicious. Her frosting is like whipped air. Eating her frosting is like eating light whipped creme only with full flavor. Then you bite into, what has to be a double chocolately cake beneath it, with chocolate chippies and seriously dangerous chocolate flavor. Not too dense, not too buttery, not too flaky, the cake to me was perfect. Same goes for the peanut butter cupcake. The frosting and the cake combined, I felt like I was eating a jar of peanut butter...it was THAT good. What makes this place unique IMHO compared to other cupcake places are the lighter frosting (and less guilty frosting), and the better attention to the cake itself - just perfect density and sweetness without making you want to run 10 miles to burn it off. LEGIT. read more

The salted caramel is the best thing they had. I love sweet and salty and it was perfection... Also had the chocolate chip bread pudding...it was good but not the best I've ever had. Stick it in the freezer...trust me, you're welcome. Two gripes.... the lady on the truck took foreverrrrr to bag everything up..and that's the other problem...the bags....you can't put cupcakes in bags! they fall over and the frosting falls off.... and you can only put two cupcakes in one bag so if you're buying a dozen...that's six bags. My order... three cupcakes and a bread pudding...I walked away with two bags and a plastic container for the pudding. Not needed. get some boxes and you'd bump up a point! read more

My first day of my sweet summer internship that ACTUALLY relates to my college major was a magical, wonder filled blur of seasonal employment perfection. I saw the Sweetbites truck parked literally outside the office when I got there and I KNEW that me and my job were meant to be. Well, that's only partially true. Yes, me and my job were meant to be, but me and Sweetbites were not. I got a salty caramel cupcake on my lunch break, and while the portion and presentation were great, the cake was not. It tasted overwhelmingly like it was from a box. The frosting, though, was super light and a good blend of caramel and salt. I would have preferred more frosting and less of that cardboardy cake, but I guess you can't have everything, now can you? Sorry, Sweetbites. Stop using boxed cake mix (or get a better cake recipe!) and maybe I'll be back. read more

Farragut Fridays for me invariably means a side trip to Sweetbites for one of their awesome, albeit pricey, cupcakes. The cupcakes are a nice size (not over-large like Crumbs) and there is always a large variety. The cake flavorful and moist, but the real draw is the frosting which is delicious and oh so addictive. Top choice: the pina colada cupcake, a pineapple/coconut cake with a rum buttercream frosting. read more

Still amazing! I have a hard time not stopping by and getting a cupcake or two when this truck is nearby. I will be first in line once Sandra gets a store front! read more

Very friendly people behind this business, but the cupcakes don't stand out. Like some previous reviewers have noted, the cake is bland. Nothing memorable. The coffee is good and cheap, rare combo these days. read more

I ordered about six cupcakes to take to my friends engagement party. They were awesome, each and everyone one of them. I even ate one a few days later and it still tasted good. The price is high, but I think it's well worth it. I'll definitely be stalking this truck whenever it's nearby. read more

These are good cupcakes, served on a truck by a very friendly group of people. Lots of flavors to choose from!! I've had two cupcakes (chocolate w/ peanut butter frosting, and red velvet), and both have been a little on the dry side. Average pricing for "gourmet cupcakes". If you're having a cupcake craving and it's nearby, go for it! But I wouldn't go more than a half block out of my way to get to the truck. read more

This truck has recently started coming by my office building every week or two, and my coworkers and I make certain to visit it every time they're there. I have yet to find one of their cupcakes that I dislike, and I am absolutely in love with their Buttershot ones. They're also really good about bring at least some gluten free cupcakes with them, much to the appreciation of one of my coworkers who has celiac disease. Most of the other dessert trucks out there don't bother, and the fact that Sweetbites does really sets it apart. read more

Thank you for coming to Rosslyn!! I have been craving a lemon bar for weeks now, and the food gods finally smiled on me today when I randomly checked Sweetbites website this morning hoping that one day they would visit Arlington. And today was the day! I had a lemon bar. For $2.50 the portion was just the right size (big, but not so big that if you ate the whole thing you would feel sick from too much sweets), had a nice, thick flaky crust on the bottom, just the right amount of lemon filling, not too gooey, and baked to a golden color. I also didn't have to stand in line! (Which never seems to happen with food trucks) All in all, a perfect mid-day sweet! I can't wait to try the cheesecake bites!! read more

Sweetbites hits my sweet tooth! I was at 13th and K and saw that the Sweetmobile was parked in front of DC Slices. I thought it was a great example of synergy (DC does not sell sweets), and decided to give them a try. They had me at Chocolate Banana Bread. It was incredible, and for $2.50 very reasonable. Just when I thought things could not get better, they did when I spotted their sour cream chocolate chip muffin. I had it for breakfast the next day and immediately rgeretted not buying another one. It hit my sweet and sour spot. I want to go back to try some of their brownies and cupcakes. This truck is sweet! read more

Overall: Acceptable, but not stellar cupcakes. I got the cookies n cream and the pina colada cupcakes. The pina colada cake was dense, filled with coconut and pineapple. The cake itself was delicious. The rum frosting was overly sweet and the buttercream had broken (gotta keep buttercream cold, folks!). Overall the frosting overpowered what would have been an awesome cupcake. Take the sweetness down a notch, rely on the sweetness of the Malibu, and you've got yourself a winner. I had the opposite problem with the cookies n cream cupcake. The cupcake itself was dense and chocolatey, not overly sweet. The frosting, however, should have been MORE sweet. It was too buttery and lacked both a chocolate flavor and a sweetness I expect from a "cookies and cream" frosting. I love cupcakes, but I was underwhelmed by this truck. It's an acceptable option if you MUST have a sugar fix, but Red Velvet sells more consistently tasty treats. Skip it an hike to Chinatown if you have the time. read more

Umm...I didnt like it. I wanted to, but the chocolate buttercream was bitter and I didnt think the actual cake was that good. I am so disappointed because this food truck is always near my office! I will give it a star because the woman who was running the truck was super nice. I am going to try the double madagascar vanilla and will delete this post and give a better rating if it is good. read more

Ok but frosting was too buttery. Tasted like I was eating a stick of butter on a cake. read more

Apparently I am in the minority that didn't love these cupcakes. Maybe it's just because I really don't understand the cupcake fad at all but either way my mind was not blown away. My red velvet cupcake just didn't really have much taste. I will give you that the buttercream frosting is outstanding. Regardless, I cannot justify spending $3 for frosting. read more

As a long time fan of Sweetbites, I was excited to see them going mobile! I have purchased their cupcakes at both Sweet Leaf in Mclean and Broad Branch Market up in NW DC. I've also been to parties and weddings in the area catered by them. I had the 3C bar yesterday and it was great! Super moist and perfect. Two of my friends had cupcakes. The coffee was a definite bonus (yes - there are Sbux on every corner, but the one stop convenience was ideal). All three of us shared everything and I would say the cupcakes were moist and far superior to Curbside, or dare I say it, Georgetown. We will definitely be making this a destination throughout the summer! read more

I can only speak to the Carrot Cake Cupcake, but WOW was it good! I've tried a few Cupcake food trucks, and this was the best thus far. I didn't have to buy a dozen cupcakes just do use my debit card (fun trick, huh?), and there was actually no line today :-) Perhaps some other the other reviewers got old cupcakes, because mine was incredibly moist and absolutely DELICIOUS. There was a perfect swirl of maple cream cheese frosting, topped with a little cream cheese carrot. Adorable and tasty. Yes please! read more

Yuck, is all I have to say. We went today and thinking this was curbside (great way to fool'em with the same color/looking truck) ordered the salty caramel, red velvet and the fruit pie. The salty caramel was a chocolate cupcake with white frosting, caramel drizzle (Syrup) and salt sprinkles. Really? Caramel drizzle passes for a caramel cupcake? The red velvet was dry and well, underwhelming. My fruit pie was full of more air than apples (cinnamon apple). But was loaded with sugar and cinnamon. Yawn. Definitely not like my stomping grounds at Baked and Wired. Needless to say for however much my co worker spent, I'll never go back. And just my luck 10 mins ago, I go outside and lo and behold curbside was right next door to my building!!! I immediately went and bought a half dozen to make up for frowns on our faces after trying sweet bites. Take lessons and get your game up! Too many options for mediocre sweets, or maybe my standards are too high for $10? read more
