The carrot cupcake was pure poetry! Great spice profile, perfect frosting, just right bake, light yet satisfying, gorgeous proportions, reasonably priced at 4.25 (I would pay more - it was that good)! The chocolate salted caramel cupcake was just as fantastic: terrific moist crumb, excellent chocolate, the caramel drizzle was very caramel-y and the salt hit my mouth at the end...perfect finish! Plus all the cupcakes are delectable in presentation, the whole pastry case is so tempting and attractive.. Easiest 5 stars I've ever given.

Sweet Encounter is a gluten free oasis in the general gluten free desert that is the Lansing area. The owners and other staff are SUPER sweet and always greet you with a big smile. Their cupcakes in a jar and regular cupcakes are the best I’ve had in a long time. I haven’t tried any of their lunch items, but plan to soon!
They also sell some baked goods at Hooked - can’t go wrong with a gluten free treat, wine/cocktail/cup of coffee or tea, and a good book!

Absolutely great experience working with Nikki and her team for our wedding desserts. Everything was so delicious and a real big hit with our guests. Many were shocked when they found out everything is gluten free! Highly recommend even if you are not gluten sensitive!

I ordered a turkey slaw sandwich and peach cobbler cup cake. The cupcake was delicious. I had a hard time enjoying the sandwich because the person making it was also the cashier, was touching everything and talking all over my sandwich with a dirty nose. All I could think of was yuck. I ended up taking a bite of the sandwich and throwing it away. The staff was ok service-wise but not presentable, one of them had flour all over, I'm like you should have stayed in the back! But you could tell they had been baking all day. It took while to make my sandwich. The place feels like it could use a deep cleaning. Sorry, I really wanted to be positive but presentation is everything in the food industry.

Wow, I was so impressed with Sweet Encounter Bakery & Cafe! The selection, the food, and the atmosphere were all fantastic. The sweet potato roll (similar to a pumpkin roll) was absolutely fabulous. The staff member who helped us was very sweet and working hard, though it was clear she was still learning the ropes. This place is a gem—completely gluten-free and perfect for casual visits or even meetings. I’ll definitely be back!
