"We ordered the Double Trouble chocolate cake for my mom’s birthday and it was the BEST cake I have ever had. No exaggeration. Do yourself a favour and try her amazing desserts. I cannot recommend it enough! Plus, Celia is just such a wonderful lady. Such positive happy energy! A business owner you want to support."
Paige Pinder
"Lots of good looking cakes. Tried the tropical cake. Had a nice rich and moist texture. A bit expensive. Tried going back another day to try something else, but hours on Google are incorrect as it was closed."

25 Best Things to do in Sámara, Costa Rica
Another cool place for handmade jewelry is located in the small food court where you’ll find Sweeties by Celia (a really good restaurant, by the way.) Unfortunately, it’s not on Google Maps, so just walk to Sweeties to find it. The selection here was mesmerizing, and I had to drag Bailey away from his stall!
