This place was recommended by a friend and did not disappoint! Both the food and the service are excellent, but the sweets (pastries, cookie bars, et cetera) are simply amazing! If you're in a hurry and don't have time for a meal, visit the bakery and you'll leave with enough goodies to last you a good while. more

This little bakery/cafe is wonderful. Try the Mexican Chocolate Cake....wonderful flavor...it IS perfect. We had lunch here followed by dessert...sandwich was wonderful, (homemade bread) and the cake was enough for 3 people. Very happy we stopped in. The owner also has 2 cookbooks, (just search Pastry Queen on Amazon)...much to my delight I see it has the recipe for the... more

I think finding this bakery/restaurant was a real score. I'm one of those food snobs who looks for the best. The best is usually that small little ethnic restaurant where you don't expect it. Or in this case a unique bakery, tucked away, down a small pathway. Let this pathway lead you to wonderful scones, cinnamon rolls, muffins, tarts.....need I... more

My husband and I ate there Saturday Nov 17th. The chicken salad sandwich was wonderful. We ate outside on the 2nd floor patio. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend. more

Go there every time we go to Fredericksburg. Unfortunately, we have never gone there for lunch but always make sure to stop by for a dessert snack. Cookies are wonderful, cakes are out of this world. You can't go wrong. more

We stopped here after reading the reviews posted here on Tripadvisor.com and we were not disappointed. We just had dessert, not a meal. The carrot cake was out of this world! More than enough for 2 people, too. In addition, we bought some pastries to go for the next morning's breakfast that were delicious. I would highly recommend Rather Sweet... more

We ate dessert here one day, then came back the next day for lunch. We had key lime pie and lemon pie, both very rich and way too much for one person. We ended up sharing and taking half of each to enjoy later. Each dessert cost around $5. Next day came back for lunch sandwiches, we both had half... more

We had breakfast at the Rather Sweet Bakery on our trip to Fredericksburg. It was wonderful! My absolute favorite was the cinnamon rolls, they were so good. I would definitely recommend trying one on your next trip! more

I am a food snob - at least my husbank thinks so. We just came from Fredericksburg, for our annual trip to visit relatives. I have always thought this city was over rated, but Rather Sweet can't be rated highly enough for me. The food is terrific - high quality ingredients, delicious tastes, and interesting variety. The prices? Well, I... more
