Unfortunately, I was really disappointed with this place. First, the Buckeye Bark is fantastic—I would definitely return for that. However, the cupcakes were simply awful. They had a flavor reminiscent of an old coffee shop, as if they had been sitting out for days and absorbed all the surrounding odors. It was truly off-putting, and it felt like the flour used had soaked up those same stale aromas. I can't emphasize enough how unpleasant they were; I even had a nightmare about them! The dryness and crumbly texture made it worse, and the frosting was equally lackluster—deflated and unappetizing.

I also sent an email and posted a review on their Facebook page, which the owner, Meghan, clearly didn't appreciate. After several email exchanges, I informed her that the conversation was over and it was time to move on. Despite this, she continued to email me three more times. I then emphasized my desire for no further contact and asked if I had made myself clear. After that, she sent me two emails calling me "unhinged," accusing me of harassment, and informing me that I was banned and blocked from her establishment. Honestly, I couldn't care less. It's shocking to see a business owner resort to name-calling toward a customer. I would strongly advise staying away from this business.

I called the bakery, and although they didn’t have one available, they kindly offered to make one for me. It was ready right on time and, oh, it was absolutely delicious! The staff was incredibly friendly when I came to pick it up. I can't thank you all enough for coming to my rescue!

This one is the bees knees and the cats meow! I was looking for a bakery to purchase a red velvet cake for my best friend 's birthday, and I only had about 6 days before I 'd need it. I 'd called another place but earliest that I would be able to pick up on the day that I needed it was 2 PM. That was entirely too late. However when I called Sweet Savory, Meghan told me she could do it and asked me when I wanted to pick up. She said that they opened as early as 8 AM, even on Sunday. So, I requested to pick up the cake at 10:30 AM, on the Sunday of the day I needed the cake. She asked me a few details about the cake design, but I told her to be creative. I gave her the colors I wanted, and icing choice, but she could be creative with design. Per Megan, I know now that she doesn 't prefer to not have a cake design concept from the customer (I can understand why, because without it, it can be a nightmare with some customers), but I trusted her expertise. I 'm a creative person, so I know sometimes it can be confining to not allow an artist to let their creative juices just flow! I had feeling she would come up with something amazing, and SHE DID! Can I just say, she knocked it out of the park!?! The cake was gorgeous and delicious! My friend love, love, loved the cake! She 's still talking about that cake and it 's been a week! The folks at our event loved the cake too! It was so soft and moist (that is difficult to do with red velvet cake) and the icing tasted like a cream cheese, the macaroons were out of this world and overall it was incredible! I cannot wait to use this bakery for future events and/or special occasions! So, if you 're looking for an incredible professional bakery, affordable, convenient and the baked goods are awesome, then go to Sweet and Savory! You will not be disappointed, and if you are, then you did something wrong or something 's wrong with you because they are the BOMB.com! Thank you Sweet and Savory!

When I discovered that S&S had opened a shop in Worman's Mills, just a minute up the road from 26, I decided it was worth a stop. True pastries are buttery, tender, not overly sweet, all the opposite of what we Americans have learned to consume. If you are looking for the type of disgustingly sweet food you find at that grocery store and you like American Buttercream, you may not enjoy the offerings. BUT, if you like buttery flaky croissants, perfectly whipped filling in your crispy profiteroles, and tender rolls, check out S&S. The shop is small, with limited offerings, but everything I tried was delicious. I'm so excited that there is now a place locally where I can purchase amazing treats when I am too busy to bake them myself. I hope word gets out and the business is able to expand because there is nothing of this quality anywhere else in town.
