Sweet Lucy’s Bakery

Closed November 2015. Read the backstory here, but no mention of any attempts to sell the business:
Now has brown paper on the windows so maybe something new will come soon?

Got our wedding cake here– we chose carrot cake. Delicious. Thank you!

I want to like Sweet Lucy’s, but it’s just not that great. They get an A for cuteness factor, but selection is so-​so and taste is just ok. Definitely better than Swiss Chalet down the street, but can’t hold a candle to the Artist Baker on Catano.

I wanted to love this place because it is so damn cute. The cupcakes, cookies and bars are sweetly displayed on the counter in glass jars and cake plates. There are tons of flavors of cupcakes, but I don’t think they taste good. I’ve tried a handful of flavors, most have been dry, the frosting grainy or void of flavor.
I hadn’t been in Sweet Lucy’s for over a year. I was craving something sweet so I figured I’d give it another chance. I ordered the yellow cake with chocolate frosting. Took one bite and threw it out. Not sure if the cupcake was old or over baked. I’m leaning towards the later since the frosting wasn’t «crusting.» The chocolate frosting had an odd texture and didn’t have that fudgy or light quality. I’ve had better yellow cake with chocolate frosting from the Shoprite down the road.

The bakery itself is so very cute! Nice clean design with a sweet twist! We walked in and immediately saw a fridge and proceeded to pick drinks from there. They had «Joe’s lemonade» which are retro lemonades and iced teas, my boyfriend loves those, he was so excited about those that I didn’t even notice the menu board which has coffee beverages… Bummer. I got the banana split whoopie pie, and a carrot cake cupcake. He got two vanilla cupcakes. The whoopie pie was great! The cupcakes not so much; they were on the small side and the whipped cream was a little too heavy for my taste. For a place that only sells baked goods, they could be better. I also expected someone to point us to some new flavor or store specials but no one did care to explain. Two minutes before we were done they came up to us to say the store was closing. Maybe it’s just me, but that always irks me. Overall good, could totally improve tho!

I purchased 20 mini vegan red velvet cupcakes. They were amazing! Everyone loved it and couldn’t believe they were vegan. However, it is pretty pricey for extremely mini cupcakes… Also parking is an issue. Customer service was phenomenal! Will go there for their vegan cupcakes again!

As good as the macaroons are it’s just not worth it! I placed an order a couple days in advance and when i went to pick up the order the girl needed to take a macaroon from a container to complete my order. On top of that I ordered ½ dozen cupcakes that for their size are way overpriced and were all smooshed due to the contraption they put in the box to keep them in place. This only works when the cupcakes are big enough to fit in it so all it was holding was the stale icing and pretty much took the icing right off of the cupcakes. I will definitely not be going back here!

I was pretty happy with my experience at Sweet Lucy. I stopped here on Valentines day to pick up some goodies. They have vegan and gluten free options which is always a plus in my book. They have the most amazing peanut butter cups which I am still salivating over.

Been there several times, very nice store and people. Have tried several of the cupcakes, always very good and fresh. The flavor combinations are very interesting, haven’t found one I didn’t like. Great place to stop by if you want to surprise the family, friends or office mates with something special.
Problems include limited parking both front and back. If you’re going the around lunch time you may need to park at the multi deck parking lot a couple of blocks away. I know they are selling high end product that provides a flavor experience but I do find the cupcakes a bit on the small side and expensive.

Ahh… Next! Machine not hand crafted coffees and pricey ta boot. Even a plain cup of joe was sub par.

Being around bakeries my entire life, I am convinced that there is ABSOLUTELY no baking done on the premises. Have you ever been to Carlos’ Bakery? While they aren’t much better, I can most certainly guarantee, they bake. The smell of sugar in the air is very apparent, which at Sweet Lucy’s, it well… doesn’t smell Sweet at all.
My husband and ventured here because they «sometimes» have chocolate chip macaroons, and they «sometimes» have gluten free cookies. And that’s their biggest problem, they «sometimes» have things, and the items they «sometimes» have are not consistent. When they first opened their macaroons were delicious, now they are hard and flavorless. I was happy with their gluten free cupcakes, but when I tried them a couple of months ago, they were dry, and the frosting tasted mass-​produced.
It is hit or miss, and I am too serious about dessert to take another chance.

After several businesses have been in this space over the past 10 years, I’m really surprised that Sweet Lucy’s has lasted. It’s a baker on the main street in Morristown, yet it’s not opened breakfast and not opened on certain evenings. I’ve stopped in twice in the evening for dessert, but it’s been closed, but then I’ve walked by and it’s open. There are no posted hours, so I honestly have no clue when they’re open.
I ordered a cake from here for a friend’s bachelorette party. We were going to eat it there after dinner before we went on to other events. When we arrived, they didn’t have any way for us to cut the cake (we had to use the handle of a fork), and the cake was cold! The old adage «cold cake is old cake» was true, the cake tasted stale and honestly hurt my teeth! We tried to order drinks (tea, coffee, etc.) and the girls at the counter seemed put our.
Honestly, the only reason I gave it two starts is that a. I haven’t bothered to go back in two years so I left some wiggle room, and b. it’s a small, locally owned business and I feel bad giving it one star (that it probably deserves).

Passed by this place and it has a nice storefront so we decided to check it out. The inside is cute, bright and with friendly staff. They also have seating so we decided to indulge right then and there. The tea came out in proper cups (no plastic/​paper) and the desserts served on proper plates. Huge difference from Starbucks or other bakeries.
So glad we stopped in, the choclate chip cookie was amazing and thank the dessert gods that I got the coconut macaroon.
Will happily go back.

I don’t care if you like coconut or not… do yourself a favor: Order the coconut macaroon. Devour the coconut macaroon. Decide that forever you will be a coconut fan.
Seriously… these things are insane.

I had the best experience with Sweet Lucy’s! I was looking for a fancy and fun custom cake for my daughter’s 1^st birthday. I wanted it to be super special without breaking the bank, which was a tough fête (many places started at $ 250+). I reached out to Sweet Lucy’s after doing a simple online search for custom cakes in the area. The bakery’s portfolio blew me away — so many unique and fun designs. I reached out and worked with Sara through email who was responsive and patient with all my questions. I sent them a design from our invitation and they came up with a handful of awesome options that met my budget ($ 100-​$ 125). That’s the one of the things I loved about working with Sweet Lucy’s — they asked me my budget and told me that they’d work to make the best cake in my price range, and they did. Our cake was amazing — a 10″ round cake with a Mickey Mouse theme that was girly and fun and was «ooh’d» and «ahh’d» the entire party (35+ people and there were plenty of leftovers!!). Besides the fact that it looked absolutely awesome, it tasted delicious. I can’t begin to tell you how many people told us how much they enjoyed the cake!
Planning your kid’s 1^st birthday can be completely stressful, but I’ll tell you, working with the team at Sweet Lucy’s took one less stress out of the equation. We had an amazing party with a gorgeous, delicious cake that brought it all together, thanks to Sweet Lucy’s!

Great place ! So fun and cute ! I feel like i can sit in there all day ! Looved the carrot cake cupcake! And their brownies!

I came to Sweet Lucy’s because of a Living social deal. I don’t know if I would have seen it if I wasn’t looking for it. The inside of the shop is quant, the place if pretty quit but the displays grab your attention.
They had an assortment of cupcake when I went in. all under 3 per as well as some cookies, squares and other goodies. I ended up getting 2 boxes of cupcakes, the peppermint, cookies and crème and hot coco. As well as a raspberry square and some doggie treat for my dog.
The cupcakes were a big hit; people loved them, and were surprised by the flavor. I was able to sample all three and they were very good. I really liked the flavor and I’ve been to a bunch of other shops. If I had to criticize something it would be that you get ample icing on the top and that really is what contributes to the flavor but the cakes were a little small. But it wasn’t that big of a deal and compared to some places they are cheaper.
As for the dog treats, we ended up wrapping them for Christmas and our dog smelled them through the wrapping and we got some funny pictures of her opening them up that morning.
All in all, I like this place and would come back for my cupcake needs.

This is a delightful bakery with a great sit down area!
The décor is beautiful, with great signs, nice displays, and ample seating. Choose your seating wisely if you need an outlet — they DO have free wifi!
They display a great arrangement of cupcakes, and cake bars and other great goodies. I tried the turtle bar, and it was quite good… a little too sweet, but still tasty. They serve Harney & Sons tea (if you have seen my Harney & Sons review, you know I LOVE THEIR TEA!). Unfortunately their coffee is terrible. It was watery and hard to swallow.
This is more of a 3.5 star, but I’m not ready to round up. Maybe they will grow on me.

I liked this place well enough. I’ll definitely be back, because it’s a good endpoint for a bike ride. Having a goal keeps me motivated– I just think about that cupcake while I go.
I splurged the first time here because I had the living social deal and had to spend $ 20. I got a bunch of items to share with my family, which means I ate about half of it and they got the other half.
I had:
vegan chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting: surprisingly good. The vegan bakers really have it down. I’ve had a few vegan treats at other places and they always surprise me. Don’t know what’s in it but it tasted like a regular chocolate cupcake to me. The frosting was a bit too much, but for appearance’s sake it looked good.
whoopie pie: a regular whoopie pie makes you feel like you are pigging out, but these small versions are just the right size. I loved the filling. It was smooth and not too sweet.
pb chocolate cupcake: this cake was stale. I think it might have been because it came from one of the cake stands on the side, as opposed to the big display case. Perhaps it makes a progress from the display to the stands, as the numbers dwindle on the batch. There was also a crusty, butterfinger-​like bit on the bottom, and I’m not sure if that was even supposed to be there.
red velvet cupcake: best overall. Both the frosting and the cake were good. I inherently like the cream cheese frosting better than the sugar one. The frosting on these cakes was not centered though, giving them a sloppy look. Half the point of eating a cupcake is that it is this perfect little thing.
Anyway I am looking forward to going back and trying some more. Overall it was very good. They do come in a nice box so that is good if you’re bringing them to a party.

I was so excited to visit this store but my excitement was fall in an hour later. I went Morristown for a mini-​vacation with my husband and did the Unilocal research when I checked-​in the hotel I stayed to find a good cake or bakery shop in the town.
This store was very near by the hotel and walk distance so I decided to stop by at this store before I get on the train to going back to NYC.
store itself was very quiet, clean and cute looking. and the only one lady working in there and she was very nice.
All the sweet goodies was looks good but those looks very small I thought.
The price was I thought too much as the size they offered and taste was average… that size and price is just like NYC. I’m some how expected to have a bit more reasonable price and enough size to satisfied. but it wasn’t.
again, the taste was good but it wasn’t so special for me.
(*One thing I impressed about was this store don’t use the food color for the red velvet’s sponge. I don’t often see that un-​used food color red velvet cake in the NYC and that was good surprised.)
I’d like to go back to this store when I have a chance to go back to this cute little town at next time.
