Sweet Sensations Pastry

Had a delicious Mocha Chocolate Bread Pudding here, and it was damn tasty! Moist, dense, and a fantastic taste of rich coffee and chocolate.
The interior is very cute, with an adoring interior design. A very cute place to stop by and pick up your next sweet treat!

Sharin made a fantastically decorated and delicious cake for my son’s birthday party. Hands down, best cake in the city.

I had the german cupcake so did my friend, that was an ok cupcake well the filling was, the cake itself tend to on the dry side as well as the red velvet cupcake, maybe because it was refrigerated, but ive been to plenty of cupcake places where it was moist and made that day. Didn’t seem fresh, Won’t be going back, plus the service i found the woman to be rude especially when we were the only customers in there. We ate our cupcakes there n she kept on saying $ 16 dollars its $ 16 dollars, we weren’t going anywhere and like i said we we the only ones there next to the register at that. Id prefer mollys or sweet mandy bs.

I live right around the corner and will stop by once a week in the morning for a cupcake and coffee. Sharin, the owner is so nice and it appears that her face lights up every time I walk in the door. I had the cookies and cream cupcake the last time that I was there and I swear it was the best cupcake that I have ever eaten. It was so moist and had a lot of frosting on it. The next time that I am there that’s what I’ll have. It is just that good. The bread puddings are also very good. The only thing that disappoints is the lemon pound cake. The two times that I have eaten the pound cake it was dry. Everything else there is great. One of these days I am going to get a snicker doodle cookie. Too many things there to choose from. I recommend Sweet Sensations to anyone in Ravenswood as well as anyone visiting the neighborhood,

Went in to try a vegan treat, as I spied through the window that they have some! The nice woman at the counter showed my the vegan coconut cake they had — which looked amazing. I got the vegan chocolate cupcake, which looked small but ended up being the perfect size. She gave me a great container to carry it out with that kept the cupcake in place, perfect if you’re getting in the car or are prone to dropping things. The cupcake was moist, and the chocolate frosting tasted the closest to buttercream I’ve ever had in a vegan cupcake. No weird textures! Friendly service, and a really nice looking place if you want to eat there. I’ll be back!

I Felt the need to update this post after I was contacted by the owner via Unilocal and offered a cupcake to make up for my prior not so great experience. I have a lot of respect for people that take the time to cultivate customers this way. Will definitely head back and give it another try

Ive been here a bunch of times and never bought anything bad. However, nothing spectacular and i’m not a fan of the taste of their icings. Definitely overpriced for the quality. I will probably go back as I’m in the area a lot and always have a sweet tooth.

Sad i moved from this perfect little gem, now every time I’m near the area I have to get my half a dozen of red velvet. Cakes are always moist and delicious and everyone is always so friendly and ready to serve you. I always come back for the red velvet cupcakes my favorite!

Was eating down the street at Glenns and saw this place. The waitress recommended I come by and said it was very good. She was correct in every way. I got cookies and cupcakes. If the cupcakes are half as good as the cookies were they’ll be delicious. Everything I expected and more. The woman behind the counter (owner/baker)I’m assuming was very helpful, polite and friendly. It’s a shame I live so far away or I’d be there every other day. I will definitely be returning whenever I’m in the area. Keep up the good work!

Maybe the best peanut-​butter cookie I’ve ever had in my life. It was crispy at the edges and chewy in the middle, with milk chocolate chunks almost melted in. I’m not sure how i managed to save half of it for my girlfriend.

Holy cupcakes.
I am not a dessert person, but maybe once every six months I’ll crave something sweet. Today I was craving a cupcake and looked up what was near me (I’ve lived in the area for three years and had no idea if cupcakes were nearby — more proof I’m not a dessert person) and found this place.
I stopped in and was greeted very warmly and asked if I needed and help. She gave me cupcake suggestions, and I went with the red velvet for me and salted caramel for my husband to eat later.
Holy crap were they amazing. Like, I inhaled mine in a minute, with my husband commenting how weird it was for me to enjoy a dessert so much. They were perfectly moist and great size. The red velvet frosting was perfect. And the salted caramel was even better. The salt perfectly balanced out the sweetness, and the caramel filling was a nice surprise.
It was that good that I may be craving sweets more.

I don’t get the hype here. Overpriced for the quality to me. Maybe Molly’s just ruined it for me. I tried their s’mores cupcakes. The frosting didn’t have the best texture and the cake was a bit dry and crumbly. I came early afternoon so I don’t think I got anything old.
The set up of the store is a little confusing. I wasn’t sure what to buy. I was on my way to the burbs and bringing something back. The store’s layout doesn’t seem to wow me. It doesn’t advertise or show me what they’re really proud of. I was confused between cookies, pastries, and cupcakes. Maybe I can try something else.

Damn good! Nice people! Try the chive bread!

THEY WILL MAKE YOU A NORMAL CUPCAKE. I’m not into the «loaded» cupcakes. My tastebuds never evolved, I’m afraid. Give me cake and cream cheese, nothing stuffed, etc… I mentioned off-​hand I wasn’t seeing what I really liked… AND SHE OFFERED TO MAKE ME A NORMAL CUPCAKE. Rich dark chocolate, cream cheese frosting. Perfect, done.
Only downer is no espresso, only drip coffee.

Ugh, I waited to long to write this review so I can’t remember exactly which cupcakes I had. I guess I’ll have to go back to do more «research.»
I stopped in here one afternoon with my mom while she was visiting. We were talking about where we could get a cupcake as we were on our way to Nadeau, because my mom likes to go look around there. On our way we pass Sweet Sensations. Bingo!
So we went in and thought that 6 cupcakes for the two of us was a good idea. So we went back and forth picking cupcakes. Whoever was working (can’t remember any details now) was super nice and helpful. She even made sure to tell us which ones should come to room temperature for best enjoyment.
We got home and over the weekend took them all down ½ by ½. We were pleasantly surprised. Some were better than others of course, but the good ones were REALLY good, the less good ones were still GOOD. There was not a bad cupcake in the bunch. They were moist and the flavors were delicious.
I’m writing this review now because my mom and I were just texting about these cupcakes, easily 2 months after we were there. I have a feeling I’ll be stopping in again sooner rather than later now that I’m thinking about it!

I wasn’t sure I could write a review based on just one treat, but I’ll just have to taste more to see if they measure up to this delicious vegan pumpkin scone. The scone was perfect. It was just a bit crustier on the outside with a crumbly melt in your mouth texture within. It was barely sweet with a definite pumpkin flavor, and a hint of pumpkin pie spice. The nice baker lady also let me know they had a vegan apple spice cake that looked delicious with its drizzle of white icing. This is a super cute bakery right off the Montrose brown line. The baker also told me they just sold out of their vegan brownies. I think I see one in my future.

Best Salted Caramel Cupcake ever!!! Very nice service from everyone there. They can make fresh cupcake for you right away if we want.

Sandy, the girl who was working when I came in was really nice and helpful. She was even all scientific and explained to me what gluten is (since they had gluten free items I thought I would try it. Is gluten really so good that I would scoff gluten free items? I don’t know til I try something gluten free I guess).
Seems like a quaint place with enough variety, yet you can tell its all hand made with love and not made en masse.
Only complaint I would have is that its not really a place to go to get treats for a big group. Each item ranges between $ 2 – 3 and that can get pricey if you’re just looking to feed a group some nice snacks.
But if you’re looking for something yummy and well made to treat YOURSELF (or someone special) then this is a great place.

Super cute place and l love that they are so passionate with their items. Super friendly and just felt you went into a friends kitchen. I love the honey cherry almond bar… it was awesome, it is now a sweet as it sounds but the butter tart with the crunchy toasted almond which tart cherries just hit the right notes. The cupcakes are good too but I must say my favorite was the apple caramel, light fluffy cake with apples and cinnamon.

Keep your eyes out for the storefront because it’s a little inconspicuous! The cupcakes are a little small for $ 3, but they are extremely fresh, even when refrigerated for 3 days and brought to room temperature.
Of the mint choc, vanilla caramel swirl, vanilla with choc buttercream, red velvet, and boston cream ones I tried, I liked the boston cream and red velvet ones the most. Thanks for the hook up, LivingSocial!
