Sweet Temptations Du Jour

Absolutely delicious pastry and cookies! I pick up anise cookies tues! Very knowledgeable and super nice! Give them a try, wont be disappointed!

Having tasted their Croatian Apple Strudel for the first time a few weeks ago, when we had to decide on something to take to a party recently we immediately thought of Sweet Temptations. The party was on a Sunday and we went in mid-​week to order a whole strudel. They’re not really open on Sunday, but the owner insisted that she would be there so we could pick it up on our way to the party. Everyone loved the strudel, which was rich and moist, but not overly sweet. Many of the other guests said they intend to become regular Sweet Temptations customers.

Stopped in the other day. I ordered a cinnamon roll to go, and picked up a package of the chocolate and almond waffles. The owner’s husband offered me a piece of the strudel and cheesecake to try. They were both delectable. I hate cheesecake, but this cheesecake tasted really good. Can’t wait to stop in and order a piece of the strudel. The cinnamon bun was delicious warmed. The chocolate and almond waffles were heavenly. Def. couldn’t stop eating and ate the whole waffle. Try the waffles! The service was great and the husband made great conversation, offering up what they served and explaining everything. Great service and great products.

It seems as if every time I try and come here the place is closed. I finally catch them on a day when they are open and popped in for a treat. The cookie was pretty dry, as the other reviewer mentioned. There was not much of a selection so I didn’t bother trying anything else. I think this location is cursed as there hasn’t been a business that has lasted more than a few years there. Either that or the person behind the counter being downright rude will put them out of business.

Very odd hours for a «bakery». Tried a cookie that my daughter deemed «too dry», unfortunately, I found it to be inedible as well. Unfortunate that Allentown can’t seem to establish a decent culinary scene/​selection in the neighborhood. It would be great for local residents to pick up a wonderful pastry on a Sunday morning with a great cup of coffee to boot. I guess «du jour» doesn’t cover Sundays. Personally, I’m not in the mood for a «sweet temptation» at 9 pm. Maybe the owners are new to the city? Allentown visitors are ready for a drink in the evening, not a muffin. Maybe things are different in Williamsville.

The delicious Croatian Apple Strudel that I received as a gift from Sweet Temptations Du Jour is light, a bit lemony, and absolutely amazing. I will definitely order more of their baked goods.
I received another order with each «temptation» individually wrapped to ensure freshness. Personal service is always a plus!

Happened to walk down to Allentown on a Saturday afternoon. Her sign out front caught my eye– polish cheesecake? Had to stop. It’s a cute little bakery. She makes everything fresh so there isn’t a lot hanging around to go bad. We tried the apple strudel and polish cheesecake. Both were to die for! Fresh made phyllo dough?! Worth it! Took home some yummy treats to fill up on with coffee in the morning.
She takes credit cards and it kind of looks like she teaches a baking class. Saw some little waffle things and other pastries. Stop by if you’re in Allentown. Take the stairs up. Kinda like a stairway to heaven if you like baked goods!

I realized that while I’m in Allentown often, it seems not after 12 noon on Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday. I say this as I came across the Sweet Temptations booth this past weekend. I asked when she was opening the store that I have been eyeing for ages. Well over once a week, as I pass by there many times a week. She said they are open. And have been for a while.
I picked up some popcorn, which was very good and I’d happily eat it again. I sampled some of her cookies and other things she had on the table. They all tasted great. I can’t wait to try more, but I’ll have to stop by Thur-​Sun after 12 noon. But they are open into the evenings many days, great for the Allentown restaurant and bar crowd. Pick up a frozen treat this summer or a cookie instead of a grilled cheese from just down the road. Nice to have choices like that on Allen.
If you have a specific thing you want to pick up I’d call in advance to make sure she has it that day or can make it for you. But if you are like me and are content to browse and see what strikes your fancy from the case, you can pop in anytime she’s open.
