Fantastic coffee and delicious pastries! Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere make this the perfect spot to relax. Highly recommend

Really nice place. The pastry options were superb. Great atmosphere. Much better than popular competitors. The young cashier girls were a bit standoffish and seemed uninterested. They were not the friendliest bunch. Overall great place to visit and on my next visit, I will be there before 1:30pm hot lunch cutoff! 😀

Literally the best strawberry matcha I’ve ever had!

The matcha was incredibly disappointing. The “Real Matcha Latte” tasted like 99% milk with barely any matcha flavor. It honestly looked pre-mixed and lacked any freshness or depth you’d expect from real matcha.

If you’re someone who actually enjoys matcha, do not order the Real Matcha Latte at Confections Bakery. I will never come here again for matcha. Huge letdown.

German chocolate cake
8020 mcginnnis ferry road

I wish I could give this bakery a zero star rating! I called twice to specifically inquire about a German chocolate cake. Each time, I was assured that they definitely had it available. I emphasized that I was traveling from 30 to 40 minutes away, and I wanted to confirm they had the cake in stock. The representative confirmed it, even providing a price of $32 for a small cake.

However, when I arrived, the staff had no idea what I was talking about. The person who attended to me didn’t even recognize what a German chocolate cake looks like. Instead, they tried to sell me a mousse-like chocolate cake for over $40. Frustrated, I left the store empty-handed.

I advise being cautious when communicating with anyone over the phone, as there seems to be a tendency to agree without being certain and try to sell you a different cake. This experience left me very disappointed.

Warm atmosphere, good pastry with reasonable price.

Kind staff, great pastries and good coffee. The only problem is that they sell out very quickly and even though there’s still hours left for them to close, they don’t refill anything.

Was good experience

Great bakery

This is the first local bakery that I experienced price shock at. Yes, they were that expensive.
Since then, I have seen their prices come down slightly, or at least this Suwanee location is lower than the Duluth location.

Why are they so overhyped?
Well, they have some items that are just that good, honestly.
1. Confections has the ONLY decent croissants in the area. Anything they make in croissant dough form is delicious.
2. Their doughnuts are the best. The fillings are fresh and not too sweet. With any local bakery, arrive 1-2 hours after opening for the freshest experience.
3. Melon Pan - or anything with their cookie-top for that matter. Creative and filled with fresh ingredients. Nowhere else compares.

Don't order drinks or savory meals here, too expensive and not tasty.

Overcrowded, so get your items to go. I don't even notice the atmosphere here because always so crowded and staff are stressed out.

Even though I am giving them five stars, I sadly won’t be able to come here anymore because they stopped making their gluten-free sweet roll cake! As a person who can’t eat, gluten, it was nice to see they had such delicious offerings, but they don’t make it anymore. I know gluten-free things don’t make a lot of money, but I would also go there with my family when I wanted something and we would easily spend $30 or $40 each time, I don’t think people realize how much business they could do if they sold even one or two gluten-free things, those places end up being the places people go with their families to dinner or coffee because they can have something. Amazing quality food tho. Staff is nominally standoffish but not rude.
