Sweets By Sarah Bakery — Restaurant in Town of Sterling

Lovely inside and out! Even lovelier are the baked goods! All made from scratch, which makes her products incredible with each product being a wonderful surplus of delight in taste and the highest of satisfaction in the consumption of her offerings. I discovered this bakery as I overheard a conversation which involved the mother of the owner & baker. I attempted to respectfully thrust myself into the overheard conversation in order to learn more about this bakery. All conversationalist were so nice and accommodating of my popping myself into their time of talking. My wife and I took a drive to Fair Haven (which is a very, very nice little village located adjacent to Fair Haven State Park. So it’s location is in a most lively area to visit and spend some time. Sadly Sarah had departed before we arrived, but her mother (from where I learned of this bakery) was there and was so inviting, kind and a joy to share in a conversation. I must also include the young woman with whom we first had contact; she being just as kind, accommodating and delightful as one would desire to have as an employee. This experience in learning of the bakery, and then visiting the bakery, I consider very much a true blessing and blessed experience. I have maybe written 2 other reviews; I only do so when I am no less than “blown away” It’s nice to partake in all that comes from a owner/baker who is passionate, highly skilled and so devoted to begin a business and provide such quality and wonderful baked goods, and all within so comfortable and peaceful a place in which one is surrounded by a great atmosphere: inside or outside at the spaces created in order to partake of whatever baked joys one desires. Great work to all there, and to the master...

Let's start with the positives. It is a nice little shop with nice people. Everything presents well. I purchased a chocolate chip cookie, a sandwich cookie, a peach pie bar, a brownie and a cinnamon roll. Total cost $20.59. I have had a worse chocolate chip cookie I just can't remember when. It had no flavor and wasn't baked enough. The sandwich cookie was the same, bland and not baked long enough. The filling tasted like sweetened shortening. The peach pie bar was also disappointing, again very bland. The bottom crust was good and the sliced peach added some much needed flavor. The brownie was a better option. Very fudgy and tasty! The cinnamon roll, although good, did not live up to the rave reviews I'm seeing here. It would have been better without the icing. The icing again was flavorless and there was far too much of it. In all honesty you can get better cookies and frosting from the Wal-Mart bakery. The great reviews I'm seeing here certainly didn't reflect what I...

On Saturday I had the opportunity to sample one of Sarah's cinnamon rolls with the cream cheese frosting and I can honestly say I have never tasted one that was as delicious as hers. It had awesome flavor with just the right amount of cinnamon & frosting. It was so good, I went back Sunday morning to get 6 more. While there, I had the pleasure of meeting Sarah and her parents and learned how her business came about. I'm not sure if I was more impressed with Sarah's baking skills or her ambition & dedication as a young entrepreneur to start and run her own business. After seeing all of the amazing looking treats, I'd say both are very impressive. I would highly recommend everyone to stop by and treat themselves to some awesome baked goods, you will not be...
