Sweetbakes Cafe - Poughkeepsie

We have been ordering our children's birthday cakes from Sweetbakes Cafe for the last five years. The cakes not only look incredible but also taste fantastic. Our favorite is the strawberry shortcake. I highly recommend them for all your dessert needs—Jennifer is truly the best!

I tried one of their scones and immediately fell in love. I had to sample something else, so as a cupcake enthusiast, I ordered a selection of cupcakes. The service was excellent—very accommodating. However, I’m sorry to say that I wasn't impressed with the cupcakes. The flavors were quite subtle, making it hard to discern what they were. I will definitely return, but I will stick to their delicious scones.

Jenny and her team crafted our wedding cake for our autumn celebration. We were looking for a simple design that incorporated apple cider donuts and a fall flavor. The cake turned out to be absolutely PERFECT! We provided a picture of our vision, and the final result exceeded our expectations! The flavor was amazing, and our guests are still talking about how delicious it was. A huge thank you to the Sweetbakes Team for creating such a wonderful cake for us!

We ordered a very unique cake that resembled a bowl of seafood soup, and it turned out perfectly. I got it for my wife's birthday and was able to pick it up, which allowed me to surprise her at home—she absolutely loved it. We've also had them make cakes for our daughter's birthday and currently have an order for a butterfly cake. You can really see the care and love they put into their creations. I highly recommend them for anyone in need of a truly special cake.

I adore so many aspects of Sweetbakes. It’s a family-owned business with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, an excellent selection of sweets and brunch/lunch options. The space is very clean and beautifully decorated, and the location is perfect. The owner, Jenny, is fantastic. Even though I can browse on my own, she takes the time to explain all the options available that day and even offered me some fresh cookies right out of the oven! Their menu is always evolving, which makes each visit exciting to discover something new. They have a strong online presence, and everything I’ve tried has been delicious. I couldn’t recommend it more highly—definitely a perfect 10/10 for me. I will be a lifelong customer!
