Sweet Savannah's of the Florida Keys — Restaurant in Marathon

Sept 21, 2022, Sweet Savannah (day we picked up the cake)

My wife wanted her birthday to be celebrated down in the keys with some friends. I found Sweet Savannah online. She is a passionate lover of chocolate and we wanted it to have as much chocolate as possible. We ordered a chocolate cake with 2 layers, and chocolate icing in the middle. Chocolate varieties of icing, candy etc on top. They did an incredible job. This cake was so freaking heavy. I know some say that about cakes, but I guarantee you it weighed at least 10-12 pounds on a conservative number. It took our party of 6 a week to finally finish it and that was having very large pieces. It was so rich. I could barely eat it without getting a sugar rush.

The cake was an absolute steal for what we received. When my friend told me how much it was when I went to reimburse her I was flabbergasted at how inexpensive. I was imagining at least double that price for a cake like what we received.

I wish their bakery was up here in Georgia near us. I'd be referring everyone I know to them.

Thank you so very much to your staff for making my wife's dream come true. She said she never met a chocolate cake that was too much chocolate... She said she met her match with this cake.

The only thing I would do differently next time would be for the bottom layer to have been brownies instead of cake, then a layer of icing and then cake. That would have put this cake into extreme chocolate mode. Sadly I didn't think about it until after we picked it up.

I can't praise this bakery enough for the cake we received. Do yourself a favor and don't think, just...

True to its name, Sweet Savannah’s really serves up some of the best sweets in Marathon and the Keys at large! So many sweets- ice cream, cookies, brownies, cupcakes, various key lime creations, it’s a sugary heaven! They Key Lime pie was pretty excellent, it had the super tart kick that a true KLP should always have, and it was definitely one of the top ones we tried in our Keys trip. My only complaint is that the piece was so tiny, I wanted more... But oh well, at least it was scrumptious! But my favorite thing I tried there was the peppermint cupcake. It was just perfectly proportioned- the cake was moist and soft, and there was just enough frosting but not too much. The frosting itself was sweet and smooth but not over sweet, I mean I was blown away. One of the best cupcakes I’ve ever had, no lie. The workers here were not real friendly as they were young kids, but I didn’t focus on that. And along with a dreamy variety of sweets, Sweet Savannah’s also has a small gift shop-esque area as well, where it seems to mostly be gifts for young kids but it still makes it stand out. Definitely will be back for another cupcake in...

Been vacationing in marathon during summer for over a decade, always find time after sunset to run into savannahs and grab a brownie boat or whatever., This year was quite different tho. I'm no ice cream scientist, but I'm about 100% sure that the ice cream I was served had melted at some point then refroze. This could've been a supplier issue, but I ordered 5different flavors on 3 different nights within a week , and all were extremely gritty, melted extremely fast, not to mention the poor girls scooping almost broke their wrists trying to get it out. The Oreo Heath bar crunch in particular is my favorite, and when looking at the Oreo pieces, they were already completely soggy, no crunch whatsoever. Unfortunate, and upon mentioning my concern on my 3rd visit, I was told they didn't feel there was anything wrong. I love a good ice cream at the end of a full day in marathon... I sure hope they get to the bottom of this mystery, and serve me some quality product next summer...
