I picked a beautiful and delicious birthday cake from Sweets on Main last week! I met the wonderfully friendly owner of this gem of a bakery, and I can not wait to return. Everything about the ordering, purchase, and enjoyment of this cake was a pleasure! Thank you again. I will be back as soon as possible! read more

I decided on ordering my birthday cake from here after seeing 7 out of 7 five star reviews here. The other reviews do not disappoint! The cake was AMAZING. I ordered an 8" vanilla cake with American buttercream and cannoli filling. I then requested the top to be filled with pastel tones of flowers. On the day of pickup (yesterday), the cake was ready and exactly as requested. Granted, the cake was a bit pricey, but then again, I also did not inquire the price prior to ordering. The quality is there, so in the end, the price didn't really matter. Also, the cake seemed huge for 8 inches! Those working (I'm assuming one was the owner as she was there both times I came in) were super friendly and welcoming. I would totally recommend this adorable bake shop to anyone looking to have something made for a great occasion, clearly with love and quality ingredients. read more

I rarely give a five star review, that said the recipient of the decadent creation was elated. I was apprehensive ordering online, yet Sarah was prompt answering all questions and scheduled a delivery for this order. The cake exceeded expectations since she said "so extravagant. If you really want an impressive joyful memory sweets on main is place! read more

Very disappointed birthday cake was extremely dry, no one cared for it and at $55.00 it was really a waste of money. It looked beautiful but otherwise a disappointment. Next time I will go to Big Y! read more

Sarah made a gorgeous cake for my sister's Lion King baby shower. She answered endless questions from me and had great suggestions to help bring my dream to fruition. The raspberry and vanilla cake was a hit! It was beautiful and tasted amazing. I'm dairy free but had to sneak a tiny bite of it! When it came time to pick up the cake Sarah packaged the cake well and carried it to my car in the rain for me despite me saying I could carry it. She showed me the best way to store it while driving so it is safe and was clear on directions to keep the cake in perfect condition until it was time to eat it. This was a very positive experience. I really felt that Sarah cared about the baby shower (I even got to show her some of the decorations I put together). Everyone was raving about the cake from appearance to taste. It was definitely meant to be that I found this bakery and Sarah right before she was due to have a baby herself! read more

I was visiting out of state to help throw my daughter a surprise 35th birthday. I went over reviews from severa of the local bakeries near my daughter's residence and finally settle on Sweets On Main and this family-owned bakery did not disappoint!. Sarah was very patient with me and gave her expert advice on types of cakes, best compimentary icings and artwork. I ordered a 10 inch round 2 layer cake with buttercream frosting. I had to just trust her because my daughter is very picky and not even a sweet lover all I knew was if she ate a slice of cake it would be yellow cake. I must tell you the presentation /appearance was beautiful done to customer satisfaction. Thank you for realizing my vision. Most importantly the cake was moist and delicious. The 20 guests and my daughter absolutely loved it . I can honestly say there was none for the day after. Thank you Sarah and Donna, Wishing you much success in the future! Maurine read more

First of all, I'm thrilled that Branford has a bakery on Main Street again! I grew up with Castallons, which burned down years ago, and there's been a void ever since. I now live in San Francisco, but my dad is turning 80 tomorrow. Today was his big family party, and I needed a cake to wow the crowd. Sweets on Main did not disappoint! I called and asked if they could help me design the perfect chocolate cake. My dad could only have a little piece due to diet restrictions, and I wanted that little piece to be the best chocolate cake he ever had. The cake was not only absolutely gorgeous, but DELICIOUS!!!!! This was a stand out cake, and I've tried a lot of chocolate cakes, as I'm a wedding photographer. The whole family raved about the flavor, and everyone wanted an extra piece to take home across three states. They have a nice menu with lots of flavor options. The owner is a local girl, and very very nice to work with. I wish them many years of success and we'll be back for more birthday cakes. read more

The owners are so friendly and accommodating! They make delicious treats, I would highly suggest ordering from here for any special occasions or just because. One of the only places that I've seen make macarons, and they are delicious! I also had their personal sized Reese's Pie and my parents had the Key Lime Tarts, we where blown away by how tasty they where!! read more

There is a reason why this business has 5 stars! Sweets on Main is absolutely amazing. For my mothers birthday I requested a naked cake with strawberries and pastry cream. Not only was the cake gorgeous but the pastry cream was the best pastry cream I've ever had in my life, seriously they should sell it by the cup (I'd pay whatever the shipping cost was from Branford to NYC). This place is going to be my go-to for all future celebrations. To top it all off, the service was friendly, fast, and accommodating. I knew I was in good hands from the moment my call was answered. read more

Thank you guys for the most delicious chocolate cake! It was so good that I had a piece for breakfast, whoops! The staff were so friendly, I can't wait for the next birthday coming up to order another one! I wish I got a picture before we ate it .... but when a cake is that good there's no time for phones. Next time I'm there I'm going to grab some of the yummy cheesecakes and pastries that you guys make! read more

I wanted to give my Aunt a nice present for Valentine's Day. After looking on line for a bakery near her house a decided to try Sweets on Main and I am so glad I did. I received the the best ever customer service from Sarah who spent time explaining and describing the choices I had to choose from. I chose to get an assortment of 1 dozen of fresh baked cookies and 2 freshly made individual cheese cakes. My Aunt raved about the cookies and cheesecakes saying that they were absolutely delicious and she could not wait to go back and get more! I purchased a wonderful present for my Aunt over the phone from 8 states away and it was so easy to do. So if you want to get a deliciously thoughtful present for someone or you just want to treat yourself. Run don't walk to Sweets on Main I promise you won't be disappointed. read more

Sarah made a dozen absolutely stunning cupcakes for my daughter's birthday, incorporating my daughter's wish for a fairy theme and even customizing the cupcakes to take my daughter's favorite colors and ideas for how they might look into consideration. Sarah was a delight to work with and the end results were gorgeous and delicious! read more

Our family searches for the best bakeries and most especially around birthdays, the very best cake shops! For many years we could not find one that that met the bar set by Larks Bakery in Los Angeles, that is until now with the cake and service we just experienced by Sarah at Sweets On Main in Branford, CT! The 8 inch Snicker Doodle Drizzle cake matched and perhaps beat Larks for both taste and ingenuity. Not only is there ample icing throughout but the surprise was in the perfect moist cake and delicate fresh roasted peanuts that sing to you from it's core. With COVID we were not able to be with our daughter on her birthday in LA so we did the next best thing we zoomed, with her blowing out the candles on her Key Lime Larks cake in LA and us helping her blow out the candles on her Snicker Doodle Drizzle Sweets On Main cake in Branford. Guess we will just have to eat her Sweets On Main cake:-) A new family tradition is born! Btw she is allergic to chocolate and my wife loves chocolate ( that is another story) so the bicoastal birthday cakes worked out and everyone is as happy as we can be apart and yet together in good taste and birthday cheer! read more

Would 1000% order from them again. Cookies looked fantastic and tasted amazing. Ordered The Office themed bachelorette cookies and could not have been happier with what I got. The artwork for these is incredibly well done! Sarah was incredibly friendly and happy to work with my requests. Could not say "FANTASTIC" for this shop enough! read more

Visited this cafe right when it opened and i was not disappointed. I tried a carrot cupcake and a cup of tea, and both were great. It's a cute place to meet for coffee and have a treat! read more

Cute cafe to stop by and (perhaps) grab a treat? Check! But....this isn't the place to stop by and pick up a dozen cupcakes (or anything) on a whim. The case is pretty small with a few pieces of various products displayed on plates. The selection seems to be sort of whatever the owner feels like making that day. We were disappointed twice here: once on Valentine's day when I stopped by to grab hubby a cupcake on my way home (at 3:00) and there was nothing chocolate left. ???? Really? Next I was going to buy a half dozen of the highly praised anginette cookies, but they only made them with pink frosting on that particular day. No sale, as I wasn't going to gift a male co-worker pink cookies as a thank you gesture. Both times, the person working was rather dismissive and not at all apologetic for not being able to make a sale. Both times it seemed as though a friend or two was in the shop and they were much more interested in talking to/serving them. This shop seems more like a hobby to the owners than a long term business. read more

Ordered 2 cakes for a party everyone loved them. Very fresh and the frosting was delicious. Owners are very nice too Adorable place I will return read more

I highly recommend this beautiful bakery. They were really kind over the phone while taking my order, and the cake itself was just beautiful! It was so well-made and tasted delicious. Honestly the next day it seemed to taste even better!! Our guests were so impressed. Definitely would recommend this wonderful place for a visit or for your next party :) read more

Mediocre. Ordered my friends bridal shower cake and cookie trays here. The cookie trays were good, no problem with those, however I wasn't impressed with the cake. It was supposed to have chocolate ganache filling, we cut into it, it wasn't chocolate ganache filling so that was disappointing, it was a vanilla type of buttercream, and the cake was dry. The cake wasn't moist and it didn't taste fresh at all. Overall, wasn't really impressed and probably won't order from here in the future. read more

I love this sweet spot!! There is always such an incredible variety of treats-quiche, macaroons, cupcakes, ice cream cookie sandwiches, just depends on the day! Haven't had something yet that wasn't 100% delicious! Also, staff is incredibly helpful and friendly!! Great spot to grab treats to go, or meet a friend for coffee! Will definitely be back. read more

Ordered a Cannoli cake from here and I am so impressed by this new bakery in town. First of all the owner was so friendly and welcoming and made ordering so easy. Even when I went to pick up the cake she was so pleasant with all of the customers. The cake itself was so delicious and light. You could taste the Cannoli but it wasn't overly packed with sugar like most Cannoli cakes. She definitely uses good ingredients because I've never had a cake that's tasted so fresh before. I will definitely be back read more

Great new bakery in Branford, right across from the green! Homemade cupcakes, cookies, brownies, scones and more. They also make cakes and quiche, which we haven't tried (yet). Impressive inventory for a relatively small operation. Cute little storefront with a few tables & chairs if you'd like to stay, or pick up your order to go. The owner is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Great place to pick up sweets before a party! read more

I love visiting this cute bakery now and then for a fluffy cupcake! They have so many snack options that they rotate through daily, and things get even better if you make a special order. I got a custom order for my birthday cake last year and was not disappointed. They made exactly what I wanted, and everyone at the party loved it. I would definitely recommend Sweets On Main to anyone for anything from a quick cup of coffee to a sweet treat to something specially made for an event. read more

Bakery is beautiful and spotless inside. The owner is so nice and welcoming just that experience alone was wonderful. The cake however is the bulk of this review. Many times bakeries only make so many cakes at once they taste almost like box cake with good icing. Not at Sweets on Main. The cake is wonderful it has its own delicious wonderful flavor. I had a Madagascar vanilla layer cake with Swiss Buttercream frosting. Everyone thought it was wonderful. It really was better than anything you get around here. Lots of luck. I'll only use Sweets on Main from now on read more
