The Sweet Boutique

The banana cupcakes are awful. They are hard as a rock and taste stale. I ordered half a dozen and it cost me $ 18. I expected good quality cupcakes. I could’ve got something better at the local super market. I called to make them aware that I was not satisfied. The young lady that answered the phone told me that that’s the way they are. She did not offer to replace the cupcakes or give me my money back. She said she would make the bakers aware but had no compassion for my wasted money. Go next-​door to nothing Bundt cakes and you will always get quality cupcakes.

This place is awesome, they use meringue frosting for some of their cupcake icings, so it’s very light and fluffy and not too sweet. The cupcakes are moist and fluffy. They have a great selection of cupcakes, cookies, cake pops. I love the little store, it’s super cute and very well decorated. It’s located in the LaCenterra shopping complex, so this area gets a little crazy on the weekends. The parking situation can be a bit of a nightmare, but if you had the time I would definitely say stop by and give it a try. Super yummy!

Macarons are ok, but the staff is just so unfriendly and unwelcoming… will not go back

not the best tasting cupcakes I’ve had. they are a bit dry to my tasting and not as flavorful as others like crave for instant.
they have the spot on when u come u can scan your card and get points and redeem for discounts or free items. and if u subscribe to their email they send promotions maybe every other week or so. I would only go for a promotion/​special.

I was in the area and heard there is a place that sells macarons. I’m in love with these sweet treats; so I had to give this place a try. I would say this establishment is pretty large compared to other sweet places I’ve been to. There was not a large variety of macaron flavors today and I know they have different flavors for different days of the week.
I tried the vanilla, blueberry, lavender, and guava. I like that the filling is more creamy than jelly. I don’t prefer jelly type macarons. The LAVENDER was my favorite because it was very floral and aromatic. I could really taste the lavender and smell it as well. The BLUEBERRY was probably my second favorite, but the blueberry wasn’t as present as the lavender. I could only taste a hint of it. The GUAVA didn’t have a guava flavor. All I tasted was sweetness and I was really disappointed because guava is one of my favorite fruits and it does have a distinctive flavor, but I couldn’t taste any of it. The VANILLA tasted like a typical vanilla macaron. It was nothing special, but the vanilla flavor wasn’t really present, which was surprising.
I want to try their other flavors because the price isn’t too bad. I got 10 macarons for about $ 18 something. It’s cheaper than most other macaron places so I’ll definitely be back.

Delicious but over priced. And some cupcakes are too dried and their icing is too thick. But their Salted Caramel is the best their.

I’ve never been one to write reviews, but I’m upset that I just wasted my money on the worst smoothie I’ve ever had. My husband and I went in because we noticed they had bubble tea. My strawberry banana smoothie was essentially just ice and one strawberry poorly blended with some banana flavoring. Very very bland. My husband’s Java chill was watered down coffee with no sweetener. In all fairness, it is a bakery but based on some of the reviews on here it sounds like the cupcakes aren’t very good either. I’ve never been one to throw away food/​drinks either, but we both had to throw away our drinks/​$. Just awful.

Unfortunately, I can’t say anything about tasting the cupcakes or cake pops because the customer service has been so bad. I was trying to find someone to do cake pops for my cousin’s wedding shower. As requested, I submitted an online order and gave them 72 hours notice (because this was a big order). I would have given more notice, but my cousin sprung it on me last-​minute. After leaving 2 messages, 6 emails, and getting one email reply back, I found someone else. I really should have tried to find someone else earlier, but I kept holding out hope (in vain). Very disappointing. Maybe the in-​person customer service is better, but you shouldn’t advertise online orders if you don’t have the capacity to keep in touch with your customers.

I looove the macarons. Espresso & Strawberry are my favs. People very friendly, especially Tristan who is as sweet as she is helpful. LaCenterra great location!

Scrumptuous macaroons (I got the espresso, pistachio and strawberry cream cheese ones) and red velvet ice cream. Would have put up pictures but ate them all :-)

First to start with something positive. The staff is super nice. Unfortunately, I didn’t go there for the staff, I went there for some cupcakes.
Extremely disappointing. The cupcakes were VERY spongy and didn’t have much taste to them. I didn’t even finish mine because the taste definitely wasn’t worth putting the sugar into me. My 11 year old son didn’t finish his either and told me my cupcakes — which are the standard Betty Crocker cupcakes — were way better. I had to agree. My daughter had the chocolate chip cookies, which not only looked very unappetizing, but she said they didn’t taste good either.
We’ve tried cupcakes at a ton of bakeries in Katy and I would highly recommend you use any one of those over this one.

Love going for an afternoon snack.
After trying all flavors the wedding cake one is my favorite!
Cake Pops are moist and always freshly made.

The cupcakes were VERY DISAPPOINTING, and honestly not enjoyable.
I bought 4 different cupcakes to taste test. I bought the red velvet, peanut butter and jelly, strawberry, and salted caramel. Overall, the icing tasted rather flavorless and the consistency of cool whip. The cake was very spongey and bland. The jelly middle in the peanut butter and jelly cupcake was congealed and low-​quality. I could only manage a bite of each, because I could have bought a box of mix and icing from the grocery store that would have tasted better than that. I love cupcakes, and at $ 3/​cupcake, it was not worth it.

After eating at Dish Society, we walked over to grab a couple of macarons. Previous reviews said it was $ 1.50 which I thought wasn’t too bad. But upon entering I realized it’s gone up to $ 1.85. A bit expensive but a little cheaper than other macaron places I’m sure. We got the rose, strawberry, red velvet, and espresso. They all tasted pretty good. Different fillings and not overly sweet. I would come back if I had the urge for some macarons and not want to travel far from the house. I wish macarons were cheaper! That is all.

I went by tonight and got a few cupcakes for my kids. I got a strawberry one and a few others. The place is kinda cute in that traditional «we do everything pastel» cutesy kind of way… but to be honest the few «cakes» they had on display were not impressive looking. All fondant décor done simply. Heavy with airbrushing and food color.
They had decorated cookies on the bottom shelf and when I asked about them they said they were just for decoration… I mean what, are ya just trying to say «hey we can decorate cookies» to show off or something? Because they weren’t that impressive either. All fondant and painted heavily with food coloring. Ewe.
And I saw a tray of cakepops off to the side which were sparkling blue… I mean like glitter sparkling. I have been in the baking industry for years. There is such a thing as non toxic food safe glitter. Disco dust. But it is not edible. It’s intention is for cake decorations… it isn’t made for consumption. That should have set up a flag for me but I ignored it.
The cupcakes were cute tho, which is good because it seems that is all they really sell. That and macaroons with poor consistency…
Anyway, the staff was friendly. There’s your one star. I paid for my cupcakes and took them home to my kids.
My 5 year old ate the strawberry cupcake and commented that she didn’t like the icing. It didn’t taste right…
Well here I am at 2 am dealing with a child who is vomiting pink cake and frosting. I asked her when she started feeling sick and she said it was after she ate the cupcake. And it’s not like she overdid it with the sweets. The cupcakes are small. Smaller than the average make it at home cupcake.
I was underwhelmed before… but after watching my poor child sick all night I positively will not be back to this establishment.
EVER.

What kind of establishment opens at 10:30!!! The baker sat and stared at me and said I’m sorry we are not open yet. This was at 10:10. All I wanted were some cake pops that were already made! Oh well, looks like Ooh La La Will be getting my business from now on. Oh, and btw I’ve spent several hundred dollars here buying cake pops on a weekly bases…

When my gf was living on the west side we were always looking for things to do and places to eat. We were lucky to stumble upon The Sweet Boutique.
This was during her introduction to American desserts. She enjoyed their macarons. And the best part they were pretty affordable, when came in they were only $ 1.50 each. We enjoyed the chocolate and blueberry the best.

I’ve come here a few times and picked up some cupcakes to go. I guess I’m always hoping they will be better than the previous time. They aren’t.
I get the red velvet and while the frosting is the sweetened cream cheese all of us red velvet lovers crave, the cake itself is pretty bland and somehow misses the mark. It’s pretty dense, but not too greasy like some of the other popular cupcake places. I guess the lack of greasiness is the one positive thing.
What it all come down to is that after having eaten one of their cupcakes I never feel like I just had something I couldn’t make myself.

OMG. Thank goodness stopped by this place! Nestled inside La Centerra, this place is housing some amazing macarons at only $ 1.50 each! They also have jasmine tea bags for a cup of hot, aromatic tea to go. The macarons are fresh and fluffy with the perfect crisp shell, all while having a moist and creamy center. My only complaint is their macaron to-​go box. It is a simple brown paper carton box where your precious little babies can slide around. But, if you’re like me, you may not get out of the parking lot with more than a few left in that box! ;)

I always come here for the macarons. I do not like ganache or jam in my macarons, and Sweet Boutique always makes it right for me with the whipped buttercream on the inside. My faves: Earl grey + lemon, Key lime, salted caramel, and cookies n cream… unfortunately these are not offered everyday.
Cupcakes are great as well for they also have a «whipped» buttercream… smooth and not tooth-​aching sweet. I find it best to eat them right away!
