We drove from Scarborough to try the cupcakes after reading the reviews here.  I had called twice with questions, the first girl who answered the phone did seem a bit rushed and not very helpful, however the second time I called back to ask another question, a different girl was very helpful.  It could have been due to being busy, etc.  

We bought half a dozen for just hubby and me and chose: 2 coconut, 2 chocolate, 1 lemon drop and 1 mango tea.  They were very good, although still a bit moist the next day (in a rubbermaid container), they were as Claire suggested, "best the day of."  We actually met Claire and she was very nice, not like what I read here (or had expected).  She suggested we might not want to double up on flavors so we could try more, but I didn't want to fight with hubby over the coconut or chocolate ...lol.  

After we paid, I saw the minis and went to take a look (so cute).  Claire actually offered us one each to try (complimentary) and I thought that was very kind of her.  We tried the butterscotch and white chocolate, absolutely moist and delicious).

We'll definitely go back, but perhaps try other flavors.

Having tried many of the cupcake locations around Toronto, I finally came upon Life is Sweet. Purhased a half dozen cupcakes, everyone of them a hit. In fact we had to cut them up so everyone could get a taste of all the flavours. Picked up a coffee and a muffin and headed out the door with a complimentary mini of a flavour I hadn't purchased. Service was excellent.......makes me think maybe the negative comments are coming from the competition. I think I will serve a variety of the mini's at my next dinner party! Well done ladies. ]]>

Life Is Sweet Has very flavourful and fresh cupcakes; the muffins and jam cookies are really good too. 

Re: Bad service/attitude -- It's hard to understand some of these bad experiences people have posted. I've never had anything but friendly and pleasant service. In fact, I went in with my five-year-old daughter just after the shop closed one Sunday afternoon, and the owner gave her a FREE brownie to make up for being out of cupcakes! ]]>

My boyfriend and I went here a while ago and the cupcakes were great.  We bought one regular sized white chocolate cupcake plus 6 minis which included vanilla, chocolate, butterscotch, earl gray, chocolate, and chocolate mint.  They were all amazing and I couldn't even pick a favourite!, thou my boyfriend ranked white chocolate and butterscotch as his favourites. I can't wait to go back again.  They had great service, told us about all the flavours, and even helped us pick which to sample.  ]]>

Contrary to the opinion of one person's sour grapes (and the friends they obviously enlisted to post, how naive do they think we all are that we don't get that...) Life Is Sweet is sweet in every aspect of the word. I was in today, my third visit. Each time I have been treated like a valued customer and each time the baked goods have been beyond outstanding. The Earl Grey tea cupcake and the Lemon cupcake are my favourites; twice now I have been lucky enough to try the Mango Tea cupcake (with lime icing!) and it's delicious too. I hope they make it part of their regular rotation. Their chocolate cupcake tastes like my homemade chocolate cake, the highest compliment I can give. This place is a welcome addition to east-end Toronto and far superior to the cupcake place at Yonge & Eglinton I used to rave about. I can assure them they'll get a LOT of business from me ... and hopefully my friends too! I recommend them to everyone!]]>

I have been a customer at Life as Sweet since it opened about two years ago.  I find the staff very friendly and the store has a welcoming and cozy feeling about it.  The cupcakes are the best in the city, I even think they are better than the ones at the Magnolia Cupcake shop in NY.  The cupcakes taste homemade, made with real ingredients and not full of synthetic crap.  Whether you live in the beach or not I recommend visiting for a sweet treat :)]]>

I have gone there for over a year and have had nothing but great service from Claire and most of her staff. To the people that have had bad experiences maybe it as you. Does this happen a lot to you.]]>

Fabulous service and fabulous cupcakes. Claire was warm and friendly. We went in for a wedding consultation (we're getting cupcakes) and the suggestions and service we got surpassed the 3 places we tried prior to this one. 
We'd recommend this place to anyone.]]>

I ABSOLUTLEY agree with those who spoke about the service. I believe the owner couldn't even care less about customer service! I will not be back regardless of how the cupcakes taste.]]>

I'm not a cupcake fan, or a fan of sweets, really, but I am a passionate and obsessive sort when it comes to Earl Grey tea. I decided to visit this location after I heard they serve a cream of Earl Grey tea, and was surprised to find that they also had an Earl Grey flavoured cupcake.

Contrary to some of the more negative reviews here, I was FLOORED by the service. I would not even have known about the Earl Grey cupcake if the clerk (who later revealed herself as the owner) had not been so conversational and pleasant to me. I expected only a cup of tea, but I got great conversation as well as a uniquely flavoured cupcake; two things that I found go VERY well with tea.

The cupcakes themselves are very good, especially for someone like myself who finds most desserts overpoweringly sweet. The saccharine taste I've come to expect was toned way down so I could actually enjoy the flavour and texture of the product. Most upscale desserts go with a "richer is better" approach which I find off-putting, but Life is Sweet's cupcakes struck a balance between light, most, sweet, and flavourful that I was very pleased with! The Cream of Earl Grey tea was a great indulgence and a decadent version of an old staple for tea drinkers. I will definitely be back to Life is Sweet to enjoy a tea, the friendly service, and potentially sample some new flavours of cupcake. They may even make me a convert to the world of desserts!]]>

Cute place and good cupcakes (not the best however), but I was shocked by how rude and off-putting the owner was to my myself and two other patrons.  People on this site posting about what a sweet person she is must surely be her friends.  I must also add, that I had given her the benefit of the doubt the first time I went in and was shocked by her cold disposition.  The second time confirmed to me that she is just plain rude.  I will never go back, nor would I recommend her establishment.  I would much rather hand my money over to someone who doesn't come across as spoiled and mean-spirited.]]>

I found these cupcakes were hard, and the icing tasted stale.  Also, the owner was rude when I went in, she was busy on the telephone and didn't seem to even care that I was standing there waiting.]]>

My daughter loves the little pink cupcakes--and Clair and her team are always so "sweet" to her when we come in.  They also carry really nice cards, antipasto, dips and baguettes.  And their coffee is great!]]>

Forget the rest Life is Sweet is the best !!  Their cupcakes are not overly sweet like others instead you get real flavors and a moist cake. Orange Earl Grey rules !!!]]>

I have been on a quest to find the best cupcakes in Toronto and finally on Saturday my wish was granted. This place is awesome. I took three cupcakes home, the lemon, chocolate and chocolate mint and all three tasted like their descriptions. Moist cake not too sweet icing, perfection. I will be driving to Queen East for these treats...]]>
