What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
The Sweet Oven is highly praised for its award-winning, 'ooey gooey' butter tarts that many consider the best they've ever had. Diners also love the variety of unique flavors and the delicious mini cheesecakes. While generally well-received, a few reviews mention the filling being too sweet or the crust not being flaky enough.
"The best butter tarts ever!! The ooze when you bite into these butter tarts....is insane!! So delicious! Grab extra napkins and enjoy! I'm addicted! You can also order what level of ooze you want to order."
April Kalloo
"I recently discovered The Sweet Oven and their delicious butter tarts. My favorite is the Coffee One, but the other choices are great as well. I'm going to try the cheesecake next time because they look very good, and I love that there's a selection of different flavors. Also love the packaging! Friendly staff and the service was quick. The biggest problem was deciding what to get because everything looks so good."
