  Beautiful little bakery in Oakville. Great ambiance, very pleasant atmosphere, great decor. Cute desserts. You see them and you want to grab a bite. I got some Valentine's Day cookies and loved them. I also tried a toffee cookie and it was delicious

  If your reading this thinking about going, stop reading and go. If you don't like it contact me and I'll buy your items off you. This place is a rare gem, very much an artesian bakery. Ive been here twice already, sorry I didn't take photos of all the items I've tried. On my first visit I had the gingerbread sandwich cookie and a brownie slice. On this visit I initially purchased a caramel pecan shortbread cookie and a chocolate. brownie type cookie with sprinkles on it. After paying I saw a sign saying "the best blueberry muffin ever". I had to purchase one. So the first thing I'll say is in all their items you can taste the fresh butter. The chocolate items wow, what a blast of chocolate, I love ganache and they use it in their confectionary. I'll start with the muffin. I agree, best muffin ever,. The top is crispy, not what you'd expect at all from a muffin. The rest of the muffin is dense yet soft, packed with whole big blueberries. The top had that amazing sweet buttery flavour, I am still dreaming of that top! The cookies were also good, I wouldn't say the best ever but certianly not something you will find anywhere else. It looks like their items change regularly as they dont put signs, I have to ask the staff what each item is! The brownie, oh man so rich, the perfect combination of dense yet chewy yet soft and pillowy if that makes sense. The chocolate icing is to die for. The gingerbread sandwich cookie, amazing, only thing I didn't like is they roll the outside in Crystal sugar, its overkill, I would buy again but wipe off the sugar. Its not an obscene amount of sugar but too much when the cookie and filling is nicely sweet. Much respect to the ladies baking this stuff right infront of you in the store. Please go and support this business so they stick around. To the business, my hats off to you.

  The Sweetest Thing on Kerr Street is such a gem. Everything tastes fresh and homemade, and you can really tell how much care goes into what they make. The desserts are amazing, not overly sweet, and always hit the spot. The staff are super friendly and welcoming, and the whole place just has a really cozy, feel-good vibe. It’s one of those spots you keep going back to once you try it. Highly recommend if you’re in Oakville and craving something sweet.

  Such an amazing bakery. I rarely eat sweets, but the storefront was so warm and inviting that I couldn’t resist stepping inside. The design of the building immediately draws you in — it feels welcoming and thoughtfully put together. A huge thank you to Mary and the owner for their incredible hospitality (they even surprised me with a complimentary dessert). It’s small businesses like this that truly bring warmth and character to the community. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly encourage anyone reading this to stop by and support them.
