This is a fabulous, family-owned business run by some of the nicest people and best bakers I have…read moreever met. There are many options here including fruit and cream pies, ice cream, coffee drinks, and a space suitable for birthday parties and other children's events.
Sweet Sweetz was the childhood nickname of owner, Lodene Turner, and if ever a nickname was appropriate--this is it. Teaming with her daughter and sister, they have created an amazing combination of a bakery, sweet shop, ice cream parlor, coffee shop, and event space.
The first thing I tried here was the peach cobber, which was life-changing. I love cobber, but it is hard to find and often disappointing. This is the signature item and comes in a generous portion of peach nirvana with a perfect crust. There are usually a variety of other fruit pies, all scrumptious and with crusts that are absolute perfection.
The pie selection has expanded to a number of cream pies. I particularly like the chocolate mousse pie and the key lime pie. There's also banana pudding and the recent addition of cheesecake.
There's usually a small tray of treats on the checkout counter including cookies, brownies, and delightful Rice Crispy treats which taste absolutely homemade. I love those.
I haven't yet mentioned the case with eight flavors of Blue Bell ice cream. There's pie a la mode, of course, plus cones, cups, sundaes, floats, shakes, pie shakes, and banana splits. Sweet Sweetz is also one of the few sources of Dole Whip outside of the Disney parks.
There are a variety of espresso drinks using Copper Door coffee plus hot chocolate, fountain drinks, various bottled drinks, coffee, water, and tea.
Sweet Sweetz is happy to do catering in addition to all of this and if you want pies of the highest quality, this is the place. I love pie, I have tried virtually every pie shop in town, and in my opinion, Lodene makes the best pies I have ever tasted.
Everyone here is always happy, friendly, and helpful. This has become a neighborhood hangout, just as Lodene envisioned. You need to hangout here, too. Give Sweet Sweetz a try--you won't be disappointed!
