Love the coffee, any way you like it! Chocolate to die for and the Sugar Free Chocolates fantastic! They have cupcakes, cookies brownies and the owner is a sweetheart. Great place to get ideas for kids parties and bridal shower wedding candy bar set up what fun!

Found this place on Google and I’m GLAD I did! Tried the chocolate frosted strawberry & Apple pie cupcake and it was AMAZING! It had apple filling inside and tasted fresh.

Really great cupcakes. They now have a cold brew coffee which is actually very good. Staff is always friendly. Love stopping in here.

I ordered my mothers 80th birthday cake over the phone because I live out of town. OMG!!!!! It was the best cake ever. The lady I talked to on the phone was so nice & helpful. I kind of knew what kind of cake i wanted for mommy, but i needed alot of help putting it together. The suggestions she gave was right on point. The cake not only looked beautiful & delicious it was the best Ive ever tasted. It was so good my brother tried to fight me to keep what was left for himself. When I come uptown to visit I will definitely stop in to check out How Sweet it Is...

Aurea is absolutely one of the best people ever. Hey shop was built with nothing more than hard work, blood, sweat, tears and a whole ton of massive love. The candy is sweet and the atmosphere is even sweeter. Everyone of all ages will love this hidden gem that sits right in plain sight of McLean Ave.One of the things you have to try are the ices she makes because they are just so creamy and not like those fake ice and food coloring ones you get from other lie grade places. Also, allot of the items in store are hand made, like the cake toppers, cards and soaps. She also is hosting special sessions either for kids or just for adults to express their real creative side in a fun and fantastic environment. If you have nothing to do on a weekend (or weekday), then you should make it a priority to stop in, grab an ices, chat for a bit and enjoy good chocolate and candy with the little ones or your few close friends.Always support your local shops, without them, we lose the charm and unique experiences we get from meeting wonderful people who own these businesses.

Great cupcakes! They were some of the best Ive ever had. The frosting was not of this world. Keep up the good work!

They had a great selection of chocolate and the owner seemed very nice. The icing was great

Nice Place...Nice And Cozy...Friendly Staff And Good Atmosphere...I Love Their Sweets Especially The Cannoli Gelato

This shop was the BEST cupcakes Ive ever had. I think Ive tried just about every kind by now and Im NEVER disappointed! The carrot cake is the best Ive had (and Ive tried from many places!) They also have some crazy flavors with Reeses cup, blue velvet, cookie dough, etc. I got a cake here for a friends graduation and it was equally delicious as well. The owner is SUPER nice. Also a very cute location to walk to and check out other local shops. Highly recommend if you have a sweet tooth or a special occasion!

Amazing service. Ordered a cake for my mother’s Birthday, Aurea personally delivered it. She’s a very sweet and professional lady. The cake was absolutely delicious. Cupcakes were divine! Thank you to everyone who helped with the cake. Thanks Aurea, you have a new loyal customer...

Beautiful, old school candy and sweets store. Fell in love with everything inside with some really creative items and old school sodas. People behind the counter were wonderful and so kind. I highly highly highly recommend I absolutely love this place !!!!

This was the one place I found that would make a German chocolate cake for my special day. First glance i was amazed when I finally got Home even more amazed at was Delicious it was best German chocolate cake ever. now my wife is a fan of German chocolate cake

Words cannot begin to describe how amazing this place is! We ordered a strawberry cheesecake for my sister-in-laws birthday and the quality and taste of it surpassed anything we couldve imagined! My husband is the pickiest eater on the planet when it comes to cheesecake, but he was swept off his feet by this one. He said it is better than Juniors Cheesecake, The Cheesecake Factory, S&S cheesecake.... well, you get the point! You cannot go wrong with the How Sweet It Is Bakery on Mclean Avenue! They will forever be our go-to for every occasion!

Great selection of treats. The cupcakes are delicious. The store itself is very cute and cozy inside. Definitely recommend.

Fabulous little candy shop / bakery. The brownies and blondies are my favorite

Super friendly, great little shop, very helpful!!! Will go back again.

Already is a warm loving shop owner...She makes u feel welcome as u walk in.

I was craving something sweet and stumbled across this beautiful little shop of sweets. The chocolate chip walnut cookies are amazing !! I’m definitely coming back to try more treats 😋The girl at the counter was very nice and gave me a sample of the chocolate fudge which really good!!

This place is amazingly cute and has a warm feeling! My nephew got a bag full of assorted candy and a very yummy cookie. I had a chocolate cupcake with vanilla buttercream frosting. We went pretty late in the day (5:30pm) and my cupcake tasted so fresh like it just came out of the oven. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you for the exceptional friendly service and even more for the yummy goodies!!!!

Awesome homemade cookies- choc chic chip and peanut butter chocolate out of this world. Beautiful shop

My daughter had a birthday party there. It was great. They had arts and crafts and other activities planned.

Aurea, the owner, is super sweet and takes great care of her customers! She is an asset to the community!
