    Close up of the cupcake from Area 51
    Kendall P.

    We just celebrated our child turning 4. We went to Fort Hill Activity Center for their party and usually they provide cupcakes from DeEtta's bakery. I don't remember the reason why they couldn't get DeEtta's for the party, but they went through Area 51 instead. I'm actually very pleased with how the cupcakes turned out. They were delicious and the frosting was great! We're big fans of Area 51 cupcakery now!

    I was in communication with Katlyn about my daughters 1st birthday smash cake. She was so nice to help us out. The cake was a smash. Super cute little bees!

    So pretty pretzels were chewy though

    Instead of birthday cake, we have been getting Area 51 cupcakes for our large family gatherings.

Each and every location features plentiful parking, a social media worthy interior, comfortable elegant seating, and quality desserts that consistently delight everyone who has the opportunity to try them. On my visit here, I tried a different set of items from my Schaumburg visit to test the consistency of quality across different flavor profiles and dessert types, and it delivered perfectly. The mango gelato here is incredible -- with probably the strongest mango flavor I've ever had in a gelato. The Lotus was an elevated version of one of my favorite biscuits. The gelato is incredible, creamy and flavorful -- and something I'd happily serve with most any dessert. The waffle was flavorful as usual which paired perfectly with the chocolate mix. I also wanted to try My Passion to get a mix of different fruits -- as I was pleasantly surprised by how fresh the fruit was at the other location. This was equally as great, with fruit presented at the perfect ripeness. Extra kudos to the kiwi which wasn't sour at all, and in fact was one of the first items to be finished completely. The pineapple was also super juicy, sweet, and flavorful. I wish we'd gotten more eclairs, as the filling was super delicious. Maybe the weakest item in this dish was the brownie, which was only good -- while everything else we'd tried was great to amazing. Overall, worth a special trip for any dessert lover. This business consistently delivers top notch dishes at very reasonable prices.

They offer a huge variety of treats--crepes, cakes, coffee, and even fresh fruit--with both indoor and outdoor seating, plus a super friendly staff. The Dubai Chocolate Crepe was massive and delicious, packed with crunchy, shredded phyllo dough. The lava cake was unique too, overflowing with chocolate on the outside! If you have a sweet tooth, definitely stop by.

I was happy to wait and I was handed the box it felt warm but once I was in the car and excited to break off a small piece on the way home I realized it was still frozen. I also ordered a crème brulee gluten free/keto cookie. It smelled delicious but the texture was dense and crumbly at the same time without a lot of flavor. The shop is cute and they had some festive Halloween themed cookies for those that tolerate gluten but for the gluten sensitive, I think there are better options.

As with other gourmet cookie places, there are no tables and chairs inside; it's takeout only. Service was friendly. They have a selection of always-available cookies, and a weekly selection of two specialty cookies. We ordered a cupcake cookie, a creme brulee, a celebration cookie, and a keto chocolate chip cookie. Oh my goodness! These are some of the best cookies I've had. The cupcake, creme brulee, and celebration were all delicious, especially the first two. The keto cookie being sugar-free was not super tasty, but it has far less sugar than the regular cookies, so it's a worthy trade-off. All gourmet cookie places are expensive, but these are way better than grocery store cookies. If you've got a craving, this is the place to go.
