I can't believe I hadn't been here before! I was welcomed by wonderful staff and offered a tour of the facility. Everyone focused, friendly, welcoming, and I could tell they enjoy what they do. They were easy to talk to and shared a little bit of what they were working on.The glass display caught my eye upon entry. They have an assortment of desserts. These are small and can be for one person or shared if you're feeling generous. One caught my eye: Tres Leches Cake. It's a smooth, delicate, white dome filled with soft cake layers and the most exquisite cream. I was amazed that the cake was wonderfully soaked with the tres leches mix and kept its shape and moist texture. Was not soggy at all and absolutely delicious! I shared with a friend. Not because I couldn't devour it, but exactly because I COULD! Not only did I take the Tres Leches dessert with me but a pistachio cannoli, Creme Brulee tart, and Dubai Chocolate dessert.A few months ago, I was gifted a vanilla cake from here. It was a heart-shaped cake filled with Bavarian Creme and strawberry filling, covered with Italian Butter Cream. It was a great balance of creme, cake, and sweetness. The Italian Buttercream (unlike American buttercream) wasn't heavy. The decoration was hand-piped and gave vintage feels. This combination will be hard to beat for future birthday cakes.While talking to their staff, they mentioned they are working through renovation, and have some surprises stored. Can't wait to eat (a breakfast croissants) with a matcha while I set up my workstation.

I placed my order at Honeymoon Sweets and was thrilled with the experience. From the very first moment, the service was warm, attentive, and very professional; the care with which they treat each customer is truly evident. Furthermore, the cakes are simply delicious: fresh, with a unique flavor, and presented with impeccable attention to detail. The quality of their products and the excellent service made my husband's birthday a joy. Without a doubt, it's a place I'll always want to return to and one I highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable dessert and exceptional service.
Sep 26 · Kari QuirozI am from California and was visiting Tempe with my dad, and his two sisters. They remember having Key Lime pie in Key West Florida when they went on a siblings trip a few years ago. This pie brought back memories and created a new memory for us as it was very delicious! We lost my mom 2 years ago and she loved that trip. It would have been her 80th birthday on 6.6.25 and that is when we had the pie. Thank you Honeymoon Sweets European Bakery.!
Jun 13 · Merritt PaciniThe Rustic Napoleon was absolutely excellent. The delicate balance of cool and perfectly (lightly) sweetened cream and custard balanced against the flaky pastry topped with a crisped marzipan paste and toasted almonds was absolutely delightful.Based on this one pastry I’ll be back to try others. YUM!
Jul 15 · Jelisaveta GavricHoneymoon Sweets = Delicious! Our wedding cake exceeded our expectations. Honeymoon Sweets understood our vision for a vintage cake and absolutely delivered a tasty cake (yum!). They were great to work with and paid attention to our wedding details to ensure the cake was delivered seamlessly.
