We ordered a cake for my daughter’s “Strawberry Shortcake” themed birthday party and it was beautiful and absolutely delicious. The owner was very kind and accommodating in making us exactly what we showed him in our reference pictures. All of our guests were raving about the cake and how delicious it was. We will definitely be getting another cake from Sweet Caroline’s!

Delicious food for a snack anytime. I’ve been here several times and tried a variety of different dishes. Never been disappointed. Food is always fresh, hot, and delicious. The sticky buns and hot cross buns or two of my favorites. And the lattes are made to perfection. So if you’re looking for a snack in you’re in the area, I highly recommend you swing by Sweet Caroline’s bakery and café and give it a shot.

Sweet Caroline's has been an absolute staple for our family celebrations over the years! ​They have made multiple amazing cakes for us for various milestones, and every single time they completely exceed our expectations. Not only are the cakes stunning works of art, but they are also incredibly moist and delicious. Beyond their custom cakes, their regular food menu and selection of sweet, delectable treats are top-notch. It’s impossible to walk out of there without a box full of goodies. ​The quality and consistency they deliver year after year is remarkable. Thank you, Sweet Carolines, for always adding something special to our family's memories!

Wow! This place is great. 🤤 best quiche I’ve ever had thus far in life. The hashbrown casserole was very tasty. I had unsweet tea with a little raspberry and it was light and wonderful. The noise level is a bit loud in here- some sound panels could go a long ways in here. There’s indoor and outdoor seating so I’ll probably do outdoor seating next time. The pastries are so beautiful and delicious. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking. Highly recommend!

My 1st time to the Cafe. Very nice vibe and atmosphere. Very nice selection of coffees, drinks , cookies, cupcakes, pastries and breakfast items . Eat inside or outside. I ordered the croissant egg cheese and sausage sandwich.... An orange juice, A lemon pastrie and cinnamon bun . All were great . You could even say much better than average. The 4 items were $24 an change. Plus tip. I would definitely suggest this bakery and I'll be back .

We ordered a specialty cake for an Alice in Wonderland-themed birthday celebration and Sweet Caroline's Bakery nailed it! We are so happy with how the cake turned out. It wasn't only a masterpiece to look at, but also very delicious. A true crowd-pleaser! Thanks and special kudos to the Cake Decorator and Baker!

Such a hidden gem inside Mease Countryside Outpatient! I was genuinely so surprised by how good everything was. I got the sea salt toffee iced latte and a bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich, and both were so good. Definitely not what you’d expect from a tucked-away little cafe inside a medical building. What really made it even better was how kind the barista was, I asked if they had hot sauce, and she actually went searching through the cabinets and found me a brand new bottle. Such a small thing, but it really showed great service and care. Honestly, I never would’ve known this little spot existed if I didn’t have time to kill between tests, and now I’d absolutely come back. A seriously unexpected win.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sweet Carolines! They truly came through for me when I needed a custom cake for my daughter's baby shower on relatively short notice. From the moment I placed the order, they took the time to listen carefully to my ideas and review my inspiration photos, making sure they understood exactly what I envisioned. The finished cake exceeded my expectations. It was absolutely gorgeous and matched my inspiration perfectly, becoming a beautiful centerpiece for the shower. Even better, it tasted as amazing as it looked! The white cake with lemon filling was incredibly moist, flavorful, and a huge hit with our guests. We also enjoyed their lemon bars which were fabulous as well! Their attention to detail, excellent customer service, and commitment to getting everything just right made the entire experience exceptional. I highly recommend them for any special occasion and will definitely be ordering from them again!

Super cute cafe. Stopped in before an appointment to get pastries, but they have lunch items as well and I've heard great things about their pot pie. We sat outside to enjoy our pastries, but there is inside seating available. It was quite busy during the lunch rush, but the staff was quick to take our order and get our items. We had an apple turnover and cheese Danish. Both were tasty. We ordered a pecan roll and croissant to go and ate them later. Both were delicious.
