Southern Sweets Bakery

Excellent vegan and gf chocolate ganache tart. My partner got this for me for my birthday so that I wouldn't have to make my own birthday treat. I felt initially skeptical that it was truly gf and vegan because the presentation was so gorgeous ... and it tasted so good! The crust is a ground nut crust that the website describes as caramel nut. It has the slightest touch of cinnamon and the texture is crunchy and delicious. The ganache is smooth and dense, in the best way. This tart could feed a lot because a tiny sliver is all you need at one time. The tart did seem frozen when picked up, but we had time for it to thaw. Factor that into your plans if you're getting a whole one.She also got a slice of oreo cheesecake and ate the whole thing which tells me just how good it was! Dense-style, not light or fluffy (cheesecake people will understand). Happy to have this as an option - it would be a great take along to a party if you didn't want to make something and will please everyone but chocolate haters and folks with nut allergies.

We stopped here after lunch in attempt to curb afternoon sweat cravings. And the cakes did their job!

Really one of the best bakeries in Atlanta. Some great gluten-free options as well. And these are really good to bring to a holiday party!

This has been a long-time family favorite spot for sweets, and I have always said that they have had my favorite cakes, but lately, I feel like the quality has gone down. The cakes are obviously smaller than they used to be but at the same price, and they just don't taste as good as they used to. I did try a new kind of cake this time, the strawberries and cream, and it was just not really good. It tasted too sweet and a little artificial, and the layers just kind of fell apart. Not really the quality I'm used to them having. It didn't taste great, and it was a disappointing experience. I hope they are able to get back to what they used to be because it was so good but I don't know how soon I'll be going back.

This place is a hidden gem. I came here because it's the only place in the area that offers turkey bacon as an option for a breakfast sandwich. The sandwich could have been constructed differently but was good just the same. Additionally, I ordered a slice of lemon blueberry cake which was somewhat moist but easily crumbled. The cashier's service was friendly and informative. The ambiance is a bit rustic, dark, but welcoming.

If you're ever attending a potluck or a dinner party and you're tasked for bringing desserts, this is the place to go! A friend of mine decided to bring a vegan chocolate cake from here over to our house for a holiday party and it was a hit! My wife and I enjoyed the cake so much that we decided to get the same cake for Christmas Day. Although I've only had the chocolate cake, the cafe does a lot of desserts and they also serve breakfast and lunch items. While we were picking up our Cake for Christmas today, we also decided to grab a Cobb salad and a BLT for lunch. Both the salad and Sandwich was decent, but probably a little bit overpriced in my opinion. As for the ambiance of the cafe, it was pretty cool. You walk in and there is a few tables for sitting and there are some outside as well. All throughout the cafe is dope art from different time periods and cultures, definitely gives you a "cafe" feel. Probably wouldn't recommend the spot for large parties or a date night, but if you wanted to grab a quick bite with a friend or have some coffee and read/work on something, this is the place.

It's in kind of a warehouse district looking area, but this little place clearly was not hidden from the locals who were streaming in. A splendid spread of baked goods awaited, but I was surprised how many of them were vegan. I sampled what was described as a chocolate raspberry mousse cake, bearing in mind that mousse is a very non-vegan foodstuff. The rich flavor and smooth texture did little to disappoint, and if it was coconut or something like that there wasn't any strange or off taste to dissuade me from wolfing that thing down. The average diner may just ignore the labeling as to what is and what is not vegan, but those with particular dietary preferences or allergies will be quite satisfied if what I got is any indication.

I sent in a request for Southern Sweets to do a gluten free 1 tier cake for our wedding reception. We wanted something to cut into and look pretty but also something that we (as the bride and groom) could take home and enjoy later. They did a wonderful job- the cake was amazing (we did GF chocolate cake with amaretto frosting)!! You could not even tell that it was gluten-free! They also were pretty full for the date that I requested and still took me on because it was a smaller cake, which I really appreciated. Overall, great experience!

Great service and the cake was delicious Lee up the good work a travel from McDonald ga to come here well worth the drive

So absolutely disappointed in the cake and a different cake slice I got. Not only are these totally different cakes from a few years ago, but they are horrible. They fell apart just touching them with the fork and the key lime had 3 layers, still small, and that layer was more than the actual cake layers. So sad that they are no longer the best cake around and they have downgraded their cakes to crumbly messes!! Drove from a different county for my husband's B'day and he was shocked also... he is a chef. Charging more money for horrible cakes. And can only imagine what the rest of menu items taste since they have made these changes.
