We went to get cupcakes for my wife’s birthday and were surprised not only by selection but quality and how super nice the owners are. Great locally owned and high quality food and super nice, accommodating and local owners! Cup cakes and key lime pie were some of the best we’ve ever had!

Love this family-owned foodie spot! Little Mattie is a great host, and the menu is simple but delicious! Sandwiches, Lil Foodie plates (meat and a side), Big Foodie plates (more meat and 2 sides), seafood trays (for solo and group efforts), and AMAZING baked goods (the Pineapple Concussion was like a delicious Piña Colada cupcake)! Indoor and outdoor patio seating, right at the Port! There are some great restaurants in the Cove @ Port Canaveral, but Ludz is joining the rotation!
UPDATE: Mattie's Delectable Deserts needs to be your new cheat day! Every cupcake is better than the last! Loved the Mango, Little Mattie!

Where do I start! My husband and I stumbled on this place one late night looking for dessert and we hit the perfect spot. Cupcakes are 5 stars! Unique flavors, baked to perfection with incredible frosting. We each had one and 2 large cookies to go.
The owners are incredible people who truly care for the taste and quality of the food. The next day we came back and my hubby had jerk ribs and i had a blue crab platter with huge meaty crab spiced with corn, potatoes and garlic bread. Coleslaw is to die for too! Then of course two more cupcakes. We enjoyed a few hours talking with foodies at the next table and the couple who owns the place. You must go if you're in the area.

Delicious food in about 20 minutes for a big group of people!! Wow! Impressive! Mostly bbq menu and seafood platters.
They don't serve alcohol yet but it's coming soon they said or you can bring your own bottle of wine LoL

What a great place, staff is so friendly. I have been to many bbq places across the country. There sides, chicken and ribs compare to anyone. So thankful that we saw them in the parking lot. Cant recommend highly enough

We found this place 30 minutes before closing on 7/29/23. We were looking for something sweet out cruising on our E-Bikes. I google desserts and this came up. We zipped right over and boy were we excited. Homemade cupcakes and they had amazing flavors. I had the Coconut, We also had a slice of some amazing Key Lime Pie, and we took back to our RV a Chocolate Chip cookie and a sugar cookie. The owners Mattie and Peter were so nice and genuine. Most restaurants just shove you in and move you out, your just a number, and all the food is the same. They have been in business for 30+ years in southern Florida and at this location since January of 2023. The best part is they also serve Jerk BBQ Ribs, Pork, Brisket, Shrimp, and Blue Crabs. We shared our experience with Blue crabs and they brought some out that are locally sourced to show us how big they are. We told them we would be back tomorrow for lunch. We came back on 7/30/23 at 330pm as promised. I got the Jerk Beef Ribs, that just fall off the bone, and they have great flavor not too spicy, and are very moist. My wife wanted the Blue Crabs, we ordered the Blue Crab tray, lol She wanted 1 Crab and 4 came out, with corn, potatoes, and 4 pieces of Garlic bread. Don't worry they all got eaten. I ate 2 and she ate 2. They took the time to explain exactly how to open a blue crab and break it apart so that you don't miss the meat. I would have tossed 50% in the trash if they did not share the secrets to getting all of the meat out. Then for desserts AGAIN! I ate the Lemon Fusion cupcake and my wife had the Chocolate Truffle cupcake. They did not disappoint. If you are in the area please stop by and give this small mom-and-pop shop an honest chance and provide you with some GREAT Jerk BBQ and very Unique and tasty cupcakes. We will for sure be back. I already miss the food. Thank you for your hospitality and kind words it was a pleasure to have you cook for us. We will be back. Your friends Darren and Daniella from Ocala, FL

Fabulous!! The shrimp tray is outstanding. The short ribs melt in your mouth. The brisket and Cuban sandwich are worth stopping for as well. You will not go wrong here. Had so much, I need to come back LATER to try a cupcake.
Extremely friendly people and atmosphere.

You are hungry, like original Caribbean BBQ and delicious cakes. Don't miss this place. It might be a bit quiet, don't be shy, walk in and enjoy lovely service and BBQ at it best
Sheila Hernandez
Such hospitable owners. Very clean and great desserts!! Will have to come back to get the cheesecake- it was sold out.

We went here the night before our cruise was set to leave. Amazing food and service! The owner was so friendly and helpful. I can say enough good things about this place. Its definitely a hidden gem. I had the brisket and my husband had the short ribs. Both were tender and seasoned well. We didn't even use any sauce. We had cupcakes as our dessert and they were the best I've had in a long time. We definitely recommend and will return on our next trip.

Last night my wife and I were driving around Downtown and saw Mattie's. I decided I wanted a cupcake, but couldn't find parking! By the time I found parking and made it to the shop, they had already closed down. The owner saw my wife and I standing outside and came out and opened back up for us. He was very nice and took the time to take out all of the cupcakes so I could see everything he had. We ended up getting a couple gluten-free ones (which are amazing btw) and a few for my step-mom. I am so pleased with the quality of the gluten-free cupcakes! It's sometimes hard to make a good tasting cupcake without traditional flour! I highly recommend this shop to everyone!

I used to live by their first shop in Winter Springs, FL. I love that this new shop is located right in the heart of Downtown Sanford great location, also l9ve to decor especially the brick wall behind the counter and that they now offer food like sandwhiches and breakfast foods. Lastly the service was great they are very friendly, one last thing I had the roadt beef sandwhich it was very delicious.

I absolutely have found my new favorite shop
They have such a variety of cupcakes to choose from, it's hard to pick one. So far my favorite is Key Lime, with a glass of milk. The staff is always so friendly and helpful.

I was introduced to this fabulous place a few months ago. I've been running to get there ever since. The cupcakes are too awesome. The apple tart and the berry tart is so good. The crust I could eat without the filling. The service is excellent. I always get a friendly smile and my wait is always minimal. Sometimes it may be a little crowded but it's worth the short wait.
Maria Harris Mitchell
Love this place! Best homemade food and sweets! You have to try them.
Maria Fernanda Pina Pujols
Loved it! The cupcakes were SO amazing, I haven't tried such an amazing pastry since I was in the Dominican Republic. The sales associate that attended us was so sweet and explained every ingredient and cupcake flavor so well. My husband and I were simply amazed. And of course, we will be coming back� it's a little bit pricey but the taste is so good that I can't say anything bad.
Phelica Glass
Friendly outgoing staff! Fresh baked delectable goodness that made me close my eyes as I enjoyed every mouth watering flavor in my banana pudding cupcake. So God I went back a 2nd time during my 3 day trip from Kansas!
Brian M Waugh
This place is indescribable. You have you come to experience how good this is
Prissy Brew
I always go to Matties for my shrimp and grits and seafood chowder. The food and sweets are delicious!
Noelle Lamonthe
Best bakery in Sanford!!!!! Get the salt Carmel cheesecake!!!! Yum
Monique Wright Mosley
Sanford Seafood Soup was Mattiegood!!! I adore the inviting and intimate space to just chill and relax. When I'm home again I will be stopping in even if it's just to say hello to Ms. Mattie!!
Debra Lynn Ferrell
I bought 3 gluten free cupcakes and ended up going back the next day to get 4 more. They were outstanding! Thank you for adding a little sweetness to my vacation. Being Celiac it is hard for me to find really good eats while traveling. Thank you for this and the sandwiches.
Christine Borches Frisch
SO delicious! Tried several cupcake flavors and I can’t decide which I like best!
Carolina E. Barillas
I visited the new Sanford shop and I had a big chunky chocolate cookie that was so delicious! I spied a sweet potato pie...I can't wait to try that and some other menu items. Will you have any vegetarian sandwiches? I love the decorations BTW!
Delany Dean
The pastries are fabulous, but, if possible, even better is the seafood chowder -- just had it today for the first time and I am blown away! It's what you might hope for at a good seafood restaurant, but more so. Wow!
Jeff Jantzen
One amazing experience. Our friend was having a rough birthday, and we called from Colorado, attempting to get some cupcakes delivered on extremely short notice. Not only did they deliver within 90 minutes, our friend can't stop raving about them! She said the buttercream was fantastic, and that the banana one was to die for. Can never thank them enough. You are truly good people.

Amazing staff, amazing products, amazing service!!! This shop went out of their way to make a special order birthday cake for my 3 year old who has food allergies. It was completed before the original requested time and was absolutely wonderful tasting.
