Babycakes was such a bright spot during our Christmas week visit. They were open on Christmas Eve morning, which already felt like a gift, but the real magic was the staff -- genuinely sweet, welcoming, and full of that small‑town kindness you can feel the moment you walk in. The blueberry muffin we ordered tasted exactly like the energy of the place: warm, comforting, and just the right amount of sweet. It's the kind of café that makes you want to slow down, savor your breakfast, and appreciate the people who make it special. A lovely little holiday surprise. read more

Was craving a cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting. They have the sugar and cream cheese frosting. They don't have any parking by the store. We had to pay street parking across the street and down some. Once inside I wasn't feeling it. Didn't look carb worthy after all. read more

Delicious muffins and friendly service! We came on a weekday morning and ordered a cappuccino and two muffins, blueberry cherry and apple crumble. Both muffins were tasty and not super sweet. Cappuccino was perfect. There are so many items in the case we wanted to try so we'll definitely be back! read more

The cutest bakery! Had sandwiches, coffee drinks, teas, bakery, cakes, bars, macaroons. Wish we got the lemon bar it looked to die for! Right downtown! read more

They have some gluten free options. Mostly desserts but they were good! I wish they had gluten free bread but it was still nice! They were quick with getting us our pastry's and coffee. It's a smaller shop it could be called "cozy" and the line was out the door! read more

We stopped in based on the recommendation of the local bookstore staff...they were right, Babycakes is the best. I had a perfect, bold and flavorful Americano and a Chorizo Bean Burrito. Service was kind and prompt and the whole vibe was very welcoming and chill. This is a must visit coffee shop in Marquette. read more

Baby cakes made my day, truly. I was looking for an exceptional experience in the mqt area and found my vibe at Babycakes. A full espresso menu, baked goods that second as artwork and reasonable prices for the absolute perfection you're getting. The service was so kind (and patient) as my husband ordered more and more baked goods. They even had vegan options for our friend! Marquette needed a place like this. Don't miss out on the best baked good in the area, in my opinion. I'm obsessed with croissants so I came in to order two flavors (almond and apple). Perfectly Mediterranean croissants that were still warm in the center. Not stuffed like a French, but sliced in half with the filling perfectly spread evenly. I can't say enough good things about Babycakes. If you're from the Grand Rapids/Detroit/Chicago area, this is where you want to go when you're missing home. read more

WOW. Stopped here while in Marquette for a long weekend awhile back. The muffins were SO DELICIOUS. I'm still thinking about them months and months later, so I felt that a review was warranted :) read more

Excellent! My wife had a big slice of Tiramisu and I devoured a large piece of Butter Pecan Cheesecake. Both were superb, and served by smiling, cheerful staff. Babycakes will be a "Must Stop!" on any future visits to Marquette. read more

Babycakes is a local staple in Marquette. They have a variety of pastries and drinks. When I went, there was a long line of customers waiting to place their order. While in line, I asked a lady what is Babycakes known for and she recommended the cinnamon roll, which I gladly ordered. The cinnamon roll is a good portion and it was delicious. With their drinks, you have option to have flavored coffee/lattes, but they don't make their own syrups. Overall a good bakery for a treat. read more

HOLY GLUTEN FREE MUFFIN! I mean WOW was that thing MOIST and DELICIOUS. It was truly what dreams are made of. Thinking about it makes my mouth water.

Fun little coffee spot in Marquette. Babycakes serves up all your coffee house faves, made to order and well executed. The muffins are the real stars here, and it's because they focus on the best part--the muffin top! Oversized tops give the muffin a distinct mushroom profile. And they've already removed the annoying paper around the bottom--a muffin lover's dream! That means oodles of fresh baked goodness that you can pull apart and eat with your hands. Eat in or bring them elsewhere. Baristas are attentive and easy going. All part of that great Marquette vibe. Stop in! read more

We got a decent selection of items here. Pesto turkey sandwich 11/10. It was one of the best sandwiches my husband, my sister, and I have ever had. The pesto and turkey together was magnificent and bursting with flavors. So good I forgot to take a photo. Fruit cup-9/10 fresh random mixed fruit . Lavender blueberry macron- 9/10. Bursting with lavender flavor with hints of blueberry. Vanilla bean macron- 6/10 standard vanilla macron nothing special. Strawberry matcha- 1/10 didn't taste like matcha or strawberry. Double chocolate chip muffin- 4/10 very dense and bitter. Meaty stuff burrito- 9/10 it tasted silky with a soft crunch shell and was very juicy and delicious. The Belgian chocolate chip cookie 7/10- the cookie was hard to chew but good. read more

Bakery items are amazing!! We couldn't decide and bought soooo many to take with us and taste tested alll of them before we even got out lunch! Customer service 10/10 very friendly and helpful. Wild rice soup should be called Mushroom/Wild Rice, didn't love the mushroom part (but that's personal preference). Swiss train wreck sandwich was great. Definitely will come back next time we're here to visit. read more

I will admit, I wasn't paying a whole lot of attention during our first visit to Babycakes because I was busy surprising my best friend! We arrived around 8:30 on a Saturday morning in September and it wasn't busy yet. Once we settled down, we tried the black bean chorizo breakfast burrito and a lemon poppyseed muffin. I also got a maple oat latte, yum! The breakfast burrito was delicious! It had a bit of a kick to it and was nicely warmed. I'm not a big sweet breakfast person but the glazed muffin was sort of scone like, with a square top, probably since the muffin top is the best part! We went back to Babycakes Muffin on our way out of town and got another specialty drink for the road. I ordered the chai tea latte with raspberry - also yum! It was delicious, sweet, and creamy. It was an interesting combination I'd never seen before and I enjoyed it. The baristas were friendly and I'd go back again. It's a small space inside but I'd grab another burrito to go. read more

We loved this place so much we visited twice! Almond poppy muffin was so unique and delish! We were actually most surprised by their hot sandwiches. They were hands down, some of the best I've ever had. Warm, gooey and crunchy my party had the shipwreck, the longhorn and the perfect bite. My husband even ordered another to go! Awesome spot for quick take away to enjoy outside somewhere! read more

Just had a cookie and some macaroons and they were fine. A bit overpriced for what we got.

I came to visit Marquette and needed a place with outdoor seating because I was with my dog. I saw this place online and was excited to try it. They are known for their massive muffins, but there is more on the menu there than that. I ordered two sandwiches, a low fat berry muffin and a tart trio. All were good. The muffin didn't taste like it was "diet." I do think that there was way too much vegenaise on my veggie panini. Next time I will ask for any condiments on the side. read more

Fantastic local restaurant. Lots of sandwich options, all of which I've had have been great (ham and brie croissant and Ranch Hand). There's also pastries and macarons which make great little treats. The employees are kind and offer suggestions if you can't make a decision. The prices are also reasonable. The one major piece of info to remember: they close before dinner. Do not expect to go there after about 6pm. Great local place with lots of charm and good food that I highly recommend! read more

Delicious local coffee place! We had the quiche which was very sharp, a small key lime tart, and a cinnamon roll. Was quite busy and fairly loud but the seating rotates frequently. read more

What a cute little shop! My husband and I stopped by to grab a coffee and a quick bite. I ordered the cup of spinach feta and artichoke soup with a chickpea wrap. It was excellent! I wish I would if ordered a huge bowl of soup. It was so delicious! I ordered one of their seasonal coffees - the oatmeal cookie latte. It was amazing!! Not too sweet with the perfect amount of cinnamon! I can't wait to go back and try more things as they have a vast selection of treats and coffee syrups and seasonal drinks! read more

Great coffee shop with excellent breakfast foods, coffees, and teas! Something for each of us in the family.

I'm not sure what I can say about Babycakes that hasn't already been said in so many reviews, but I'll share my experiences. I was a little hesitant because of the reviews mentioning cupcakes out of a box. I'm assuming they are implying they are store bought. I had to take a picture of our muffins to prove there is no way these are box muffins. The muffin tops on ours were obviously made by hand. They were also super moist and very rich. Tasty I'd say. So why only 3 stars? Consistency. After a couple of visits I realized that it's a crap shoot if the coffee will be good or not. Or if your muffin will be dry or not. If the service is fast or not. Or if they care or not. I can't comfortably give a 4 star or higher rating to a place that I have to decide if I wanna risk a good experience or not. I didn't say it's a bad place. I'm saying it's a roll of the dice if you'll see me there or not. read more

Tons of gluten-free options and great desserts and pastries. A good place to stop for morning coffee. It's not a large store and seating is limited, but worth it. read more

The food and coffee here is seriously delicious! I have the utmost respect for any coffee shop that doesn't water down their lattes!!

Best muffins ever! My dad said "the muffin top is just as good as the bottom". The entire store is clean and super cozy. Super friendly staff! The double chocolate muffin is unreal. read more

The beautiful red storefront draws you in! Once inside, the quaint decor is inviting and then you see the stunning display of treats. They serve mouthwateringly delectable desserts and drool worthy sandwiches and wraps. Vegetarian options available! I can't possibly taste them all but I'd like to! They make a great cup of coffee as well as teas. They also have a cooler with waters, juices, and parfaits. It is not a huge space. I'm thinking max of 22 patrons but that would get crowded. Very pleasant barista with a lot of patience for children making difficult choices. The bathroom is clean. Thank you for a wonderful stop this rainy afternoon! read more

Great service, great coffee and food options - loved the double chocolate vegan, gf muffins

Really liked the low-fat berry muffin. Super moist and fresh. For some reason I wasn't as big of a fan of the sour cream chocolate chip muffin. But for a muffin company, they only had like 5 flavors. More of a coffee shop that happens to carry a few muffins, per se. Cute place though. read more

I ordered 4 different types of muffins. I like the unique square muffin tops. The almond poppyseed muffin top was good, but had a weird flavor for the rest. Same with the Apple crunch. Blueberry was my favorite! read more

I am not sure if they have changed recipes of the muffins since the new owner took over, but things don't taste the same. Lemon poppy seed used to be my go to, with a close second by the sour cream chocolate chip. Today when I was in, I noticed several flies and fruit flies INSIDE the display case. This was a little off putting. I understand maybe one, maybe two flies, but there were several. I'm not big into leaving reviews, but hopefully they can take care of the fly problem and get the recipes back to the way they were. I like the place and have been going there for years, personally and for treats for clients. The staff is always friendly and I have noticed some new faces in since the new owner took over. read more

After all the positives reviews, this place was a HUGE disappointment. I really wanted to enjoy the confections and was very hungry. When walking up to the counter, I counted at least 5-6 flies INSIDE of one of the displays, and then another 2-3 inside the second display. I saw flies literally LANDING UPON the various baked goods. I immediately couldn't help but think of other places flies land, such as around poop and dead animals, then depositing that and their own fly-poop onto the food. I lost my appetite. I cannot recommend this place to anyone after seeing those tons of flies everywhere. OWNERS: Please consider doing something to prevent flies landing upon your food before visitors even have a chance to try it! I recommend screen doors (at least for the displays), fly-traps, insect-repellent, fly-swatters, etc. I would happily re-visit and give it another chance if we didn't see flies within where the food was displayed. We did get drinks - my boyfriend ordered a french vanilla coffee and was not impressed. He could not taste any vanilla and the coffee was lackluster overall. I ordered the pink-bliss tea, and although no sugar was mentioned on the menu, it was WAY overly sweet and overpowered my tastebuds. read more

Absolutely most delicious and moist vegan cupcake I've ever had! The vegan frosting was out of this world and it was actually better than a non-vegan cupcake which has never come out of my mouth. They have gluten free and other vegan options if you have diet restrictions. The staff was extremely inviting, friendly, and accommodating too! Not only does this place have hot/iced coffee and pastries but soup and sandwiches as well. You MUST stop here and I promise you won't be disappointed!!! read more

Came highly recommended by someone who worked at the Children's Museum. I ordered the Irish latte, and a regular drip coffee for my dad.

This place has crazy good muffins! My favorites are the classic chocolate chip and the apple crunch. Their muffins are huge with lots of crispy 'top' to them. I'm looking forward to returning to try other food they have (their sandwiches look great). read more
