| - I love this place. Not just for their awesomely delicious baked goods but also for the charm and vibrancy they bring to the neighbourhood.
When you walk into Sweet Serendipity you're immediately welcomed by Stacy or Pina, both of whom are incredibly friendly and helpful.
The selection of baked goods is just right for a bake shop of its size and offers good variety. On any given day they typically carry a few flavours of cupcakes (vanilla, red velvet, etc.), several varieties of squares (pecan, lemon, chocolate berry cheesecake, brownies, blueberry oatmeal, etc.), 3-4 types of cookies (cranberry oatmeal, chocolate chip, peanut butter and chocolate chunk shortbread), butter tarts, cakes (red velvet, carrot cake) and of course Pina's signature biscotti.
On weekends they carry bread from St. John's, rustic pear tarts and scrumptious scones (blueberry and "cinnamon bun").
My personal favourites are the scones, pear tart (the pastry is light and perfect), butter tarts and blueberry oatmeal squares. I love that nothing is too sickly sweet, though I will note that the pecan squares are a little heavy on the vanilla for my tastes. I love their carrot cake, which I'm usually not a fan of from other places. For just $12 one of their "mini cakes" is just the right size to take to a dinner party. They also take custom orders for parties.
The space itself is beautiful with its wood floors and exposed brick. There's an espresso machine too, so you can get a latte, cappuccino, americano (or whatever your coffee fancy) with your treat. They've got tea too!
Keep up the good work Sweet Serendipity!
