Iconic, Southern Sweets Bakery in Decatur, Ga. Is highly known for their decadent desserts. They have the grandest selection of cakes, pies, Tiramisu and other wonderful confections. They sell them by the slice, or, you can take the whole thing home.
If you are there during lunch and hungry, grab a soup of the day with a half a sandwich, or pimento cheese, chicken salad or other any of the other tasty morsels they offer. But get there early, as the lines get long. So worth a visit.
Let them do your Holiday baking!

Mmmmmmmmm! The Herman chocolate cake slide was delicious! I was in the area and stopped by after seeing the sign several times on trips to the DeKalb International Market. Although I stopped in about 10 minutes before closing, they greeted me as if it was still the middle of the day. Very friendly service! There were so many cake options and some pie options as well. They also do other deli type sandwiches and things the entrance is full of the eclectic artistic work on the walls, but it’s a nice seating area if you choose to stay and eat. Because it was the end of the workday I chose to take my cake to-go. I was surprised that the German chocolate cake was actually chocolate cake with coconut “German chocolate” frosting and some addition regular chocolate frosting atriums the top edges. I’ve never had it prepared that way, but it was good. I was craving sweet, and that’s what I got. I’ll be back again to try other items on the menu. Oh, and I loved the Reserved Parking signs for customers.

Southern Sweets Bakery feels like a warm hug. The staff is so friendly and welcoming, making you feel like family the moment you walk in. I love coming here for a slice of cake and a coffee. It’s the perfect spot to relax. Their portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable for the high quality you get

While visiting Atlanta area I wanted to find a bakery that has dairy free options. This bakery has the best dessert selection for vegan/dairy free. They have the best carrot cake I’ve ever had. Thank you for offering these yummy desserts for the people that can’t usually find them.

Best cheesecake (I get the lemon and let it sit room temp for a few minutes). Best red velvet. All around best cakes/pies in Atlanta. They make the desserts for a lot of restaurants in an Atlanta that are known for “their” great desserts Also, don’t sleep on the breakfast! Generous portions, good pricing. A gem I came 2 days before Thanksgiving and they had ALL of their cakes/pies fully stocked

We ordered the red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting for my girlfriend’s birthday. It was exquisite. From the moistness of the cake itself, to the silky goodness of the frosting, to the delicate crunch of the white chocolate shavings, it was an excellent treat for her special day. I highly recommend this bakery.

The ordering and picking up was seamless. I ordered a half caramel cake, half red velvet, slice of the ammereto butter cake, and a slice of the carrot spice.
The amaretto slice was okay, moist, but bland, I’m unsure if it should taste that way. The red velvet was moist, but I wouldn’t call it a classic southern red velvet cake. It has more cocoa that I’m use to and the cream cheese frosting is quite tart. I like a tart/tangy cream cheese frosting, but more tart than what I expected. The caramel cake was dry and did not taste as if I was recently baked(within a day of picking it up). I haven’t tried the carrot cake slice, yet.
The staff were extremely nice and receptive to my feedback regarding the cakes. I think my comments on the red velvet cake and ammereto butter cake come down to personal preference. I’m unsure if I’d purchase half or full size cake again, but would try out individual slices given the wide variety offered.

So I have been here for their desserts before and they are good. I saw they did breakfast and a friend who referred me said breakfast is good too. I had the smoked salmon scramble with parmesian cheese grits. Everything was freshly cooked and great.

I’ve enjoyed vegan desserts from Southern Sweets for years but always at a restaurant that sells them so this was my first experience at their actual location. I ordered a vegan raspberry chocolate mousse cake for a friend’s birthday but I arrived hungry so decided to order food for myself while there. I had a vegan black bean burger and a bag of chips. The burger looked a little strange but was actually pretty tasty and the price was good. The atmosphere was nice – eclectic and comfortable. It felt welcoming. The cake was ridiculously delicious. After serving everyone there was this collective silence because everyone was taking it in. Seriously SO good. I also got a slice of vegan German chocolate cake for myself and it, too, was amazing. It’s in or super close to Avondale Estates and I could see making an afternoon of thrifting and stopping for lunch and a treat, especially if I lived closer. But it was definitely worth the trek.

Called in a customer gift rush order sweets platter and they got it completed while we sat and ate breakfast! The bacon was that perfect crispy. The biscuit was super fluffy. And the eggs not overcooked, yes! And I highly recommend the potatoes with that. My friend had lox with bagel, he was very pleased too (and picked up some pistachio butter?).
I WILL drop back in.
