Sweet Treats — Restaurant in Lexington

Fantastic find on my travels home from the Carolinas!! I stopped over in Lexington hoping to find some lunch. When I found out that the “café” up the street was actually just a coffee shop and ice cream parlor, I asked a local person where I could go to find a nice lunch, and she recommended Sweet Treats. Despite the fact that the name says bakery, it’s much more. The location has lots of charm with the black and white checkered floor, tin ceiling, and the ice cream parlor chairs. The owner was very personable, and I’m pretty sure his brother was helping out that day, and he was fun too. I ordered up a BLT at the counter, was given options for the bread, and I chose the croissant. I took a seat while my sandwich was under construction, and I enjoyed watching the local people come in and out of this friendly atmosphere. A couple of old gents came in for coffee and some afternoon chatter. A few small groups of ladies came in to grab a treat, or have some lunch, and on a couple of occasions, people popped in to ask for directions. The friendly ownership obliged on every turn, even walking the one couple out onto the sidewalk to point to their destination, and make sure they got going the right way. When my sandwich arrived, I dare say it was the best BLT I’ve ever had. It was delivered with a smile, the croissant was fresh and the bacon was perfectly cooked. After lunch, I picked up a couple of mini sweet treats for dessert, including a tiny, Keylime, cheesecake, and a black-and-white mini cookie. Both were fresh and delicious! Before hitting the road again, I decided to use the facilities and found the charming drawings on the restroom door, and admired the little mini card catalog of feminine products that were freely available to anyone who might need them— extra touches that make them stand out from the crowd! This place is an absolute asset to Lexington, and if you’re ever in the area, stop by and they’ll make you...

I stopped in Sweet Treats in a total panic late on Saturday afternoon. We were driving in from Massachusetts for a 50th Anniversary party for my in-laws and just as we were passing through Lexington on the last 30 minutes of what had been an 11 hour drive, my cake maker texted to tell me she was sick and couldn't do the cake we had ordered weeks ago...for a party less then 24 hours away! Quick Google search, and I entered Sweet Treats begging for help. We settled on completely wiping them out of a variety of cupcakes and an 8" white on white cake with raspberry filling. Everything was wonderful! Everyone loved the cake, and all the cupcakes were amazing. You can tell when bakery items are made with quality ingredients, and these were. Thank you so much for helping us out! We were thrilled with everything we got, and I will be recommending this location to everyone who is looking for baked goods for any event, big or small. I really wish there had been leftover cake, but sadly,...

I used Sweet Treats as a vendor for my wedding last August. The owners are very nice and the food tasted great both times I ate lunch there. My fiance and I left Sweet Treats after our tasting with a photo of the cake design we agreed upon saved on their tablet and a signed contract. Fast forward a few months to our wedding, and we notice the cake looks nothing like the simple design we picked out. I did not get a chance to see the reception venue set up prior to the cocktail hour and trusted the bakery to deliver the right cake as agreed in the contract. Luckily, no one but my husband and I knew and we really didn't care too much. It still tasted great and that is all that matters. I'm sure there are brides who would rightfully care a lot more that their wedding cake looked very little like the cake agreed upon in the contract, hence the lower review. Recommend the baker - just confirm your cake...
