This bakery definitely lives up to its name. The desserts look as delectable as they taste, and even after arriving close to the bakerys closing time, there were still tons of desserts behind the glass. A few pros: -The bakery is open late, which is definitely a plus! Most bakeries close early, but since this one is on Main Street where there are lots of customers who like to eat dinner and then search for a bite of dessert, having the bakery open a little later definitely has its advantages! -Everything looks amazing. I seriously wanted to try every pastry and dessert behind the refrigerated glass covering! -The workers are really nice and take extreme care in packaging up the goodies in boxes. -Lots of sitting area (inside and outside) if you want to eat the dessert in the store. -They serve coffee and tea along with desserts. The only con that I can identify is that the pastries are not cheap, and run around $5 and up. Some desserts that are quite small (like the chocolate covered strawberries, etc.) are almost $3 while a banana cream pie (individual sized) is only $5. I tried their famous strawberry shortcake and the individual banana cream pie. Within a few minutes, my parents and I had devoured the strawberry shortcake and most of the pie. Both were amazing! I can definitely see why the strawberry shortcake is so popular. Its encircled with a piece of plastic to keep the cakes shape. The cake was moist and light, and the strawberries and cream werent too sweet, but had enough sweetness to satisfy my sweet tooth. The banana cream pie was tasty, but I still prefer Marie Callenders banana cream pie. The only thing that really stuck out was that the crust was extra flaky and crispy (while Marie Callenders is usually soft and chewy). I did like that the cream of the pie was banana flavored, which made the whole dessert come together. tl;dr - A great little place to get dessert! You can place an order for a larger sized cake or pick up to-go. I would recommend stopping by on a weekday (M-Th) since I feel parking will be tough until the new structure opens up. Prices are fair, and everything I tasted was amazing!

HRRRRNGGHH-- oh. Hi. Dont mind me, I was just reminiscing about the Florentine I had here several weeks back. Coming in with a friend and her boyfriend during my trip to SoCal, we arrived knowing full well that Perfectly Sweet was going to be, quite literally, pretty damn sweet. As in their desserts are done in the typical style of Western desserts: rich, heavy, and absolutely delicious. Those seeking lighter Asian dessert fare need not apply here. While I only tried a few bites of their German chocolate cake, which was indeed deliciously rich and dense, most of my efforts were focused on the Florentine I ordered: a monstrosity meant to shared with others (or so I imagine), comprised of an almond brittle bowl, inlaid with dark chocolate, filled with a custard base, and topped with fresh fruit. Absolutely fantastical, and actually surprisingly light, for the first few bites, anyway. ***Accessibility Info*** Venue - A smaller cafe with seating for about 20 at most, most of which were pretty accessible. Bathroom - While the bathroom itself was accessible, getting to it required shifting a little furniture, as the hallway is partially blocked by a little coffee table they keep to the side.

i tried their carrot cake a few years back at a friends birthday and remembered it being really good. Fast forward a few years and its just as good as I remembered it. Ive never been to Perfectly Sweet but placed my order over the phone with a sweet woman. I didnt catch her name. Anyway, i had my sister pick up the cake for me and it turned out perfect. The cake looked great and tasted amazing. My boyfriends favorite cake is carrot and he enjoyed it very much. Thanks for making my boyfriend happy with his birthday cake!

Disappointed. The tiramisu mousse was dense and dry and tasted old... The aztec hot chocolate was OK, not memorable. Their desserts are pretty, and you can see the bakers decorating the cakes behind the counter. Too bad they wouldnt let me take a picture. I was disappointed but Im willing to give it another shot with a different dessert. Its a nice coffee shop to sit and chat.

I got a cake for me moms bday. The design on the cake was so beautiful. I loved that there was a huge rose on it! It looked so pretty. It also tasted great. The frosting, in my opinion, is a tad sweeter than I would like, however it was still really good. Basically, if you were wondering... YES, YOU SHOULD GET A CAKE FROM HERE.

I think this is the best cake shop I have ever been to, they dont have lots of options and their decorations arent impressive BUT, THEIR CAKES TASTED THE BEST.
