    Small location inside the airport and they have certain packages you can pick from. You can't choose what you want but they have so many options even gluten ones. I got the variety pack! It has some classic and new flavors in it. they were super fresh and packaged very neatly. It made it from JFK to MCO.

    Ever since a friend introduced me to these mini cupcakes, I cannot go past the location at the JFK airport terminal without stopping for some. The cupcake minis are perfect bite-size that fits completely into my mouth in one bite! Moist, yummy, deliciousness! They package them in these neat little containers in packs of as little as 3 or 6, up to about 25 or 50. My go-to flavors of choice are the Cookies & Cream, Triple Chocolate Fudge, and the Cake Batter. They have a few seasonal and holiday flavors in addition to several vegan and gluten free options and macarons as well. If you like sweet treats, do yourself a favor and stop in here if you're in JFK Terminal 5!

    The "cupcakes" are more like mini muffin tops, if that. We paid almost $5 for 3 small thumb-sized bites. We ordered the red velvet, crème de leche, and the peanut butter and jelly. They were so tiny and just tasted like sugar bread. I couldn't really taste the flavors of these bites because there was so much sugar in them, but maybe other flavors taste more like they claim to be. The peanut butter and jelly tasted the most like it was supposed to be, but it still wasn't something spectacular (you can make your own peanut butter and jelly). For the price, it's not really worth it because it's small and the flavors were not spectacular. I don't think I'd come here again.

    As soon as I walked out of the airport from the jetBlue terminal, I had my eye on Baked by Melissa. I saw it all over New York City, but it wasn't until my return flight that I got the chance to finally try it. Baked by Melissa has bite-sized morsels of cupcakes and macarons. In comparison to a standard cupcake, they're basically button-sized. I loved how such proportionately small they were, because I hardly finish a regular cupcake. Furthermore, this was perfect for me because a.) I'm very indecisive and b.) I could sample all the flavors if I wanted to. However, I exercised no self control and easily ate the whole box before I even got on my plane. The dough for the cupcakes was very soft and moist on all the cupcakes. I got a custom 12-pack with a mix of 11 cupcakes and 1 macaron. (You pay extra if you add macarons.) Here is my review for each one: 1. Black and white macaron - Top 5 favorite. Very good! I really enjoyed this, and I thought that it balanced the chocolate and vanilla quite well. 2. PB&J - Top 5 favorite. The peanut butter was light and whipped. The small dollop of jelly was a nice touch. 3. Dulce de Leche - Not memorable 4. Double Cookie - Not memorable 5. Cookies and Cream - Not memorable 6. Mint - Top 5 favorite. Great chocolate/mint flavor. 7. Memorial Day special - This was a special for Memorial day. It was vanilla flavored. 8. Pink sugar cookie - Not memorable. Didn't care much for the sugar cookie flavors. 9. White sugar cookie - Not memorable. Didn't care much for the sugar cookie flavors. 10. Tie-dye - Didn't get to eat this flavor, although my boyfriend said it was good and his #1 favorite from the entire pack. 11. Chocolate chip - Top 5 favorite. This was just a very comforting flavor for me. It tasted exactly like a gooey chocolate chip cookie. 12. Peanut butter cup - Top 5 favorite. Exactly what you think it should taste like. The whipped peanut butter is great.

    Loved my mini cupcakes from Baked by Melissa. The staff were very suggestive and friendly. They have a wide variety of flavors, I was good, had three mini cupcakes. My favorite was strawberry milkshake, although they were all delicious and moist. Cute packaging. We need a Los Angeles location.

    Deeeeeelicous! I don't have a big sweet tooth but I had to try this place out after a few recommendations from friends. We had lunch already and wanted just a little something sweet. The 6 mini cupcakes were perfect for 3 people. The cupcakes are the perfect size for one bite. We got 6 for $7.50. They have normal flavors and seasonal flavors. We came in October so it was Halloween time. We got snickerdoodle, mint cookie, chocolate chip pancake, cookies and cream and haunted pop chocolate flavors. All delicious, moist and not overly sweet

    Yum

    Five star cupcakes along with five star service. The young lady who helped us seemed so excited to be able to describe each one. She clearly enjoys what she does and make this cupcake buying experience fun! Bite size, moist, flavor paced, reasonably priced and really, really good. I really like the texture of these cupcakes, slightly chewy and moist... all this in a cupcake the size of an oreo. We've had these cupcakes at JFK airport and Roosevelt field mall. Smart move putting a location on the way to your plane. These went perfectly with a coffee at 35,000 feet. It was nice to have a little variety too. I thing my favorite is the red velvet. Next time, I buy a dozen... for myself!

    Always a line - very popular place!

    This is the new thing in New York - tiny little cupcakes for $1.00 each. I had been to an NYU Bookstore open house the day before where they served these little treasures. They are meant to be eaten in one bite so you can enjoy the clever blending of flavors. I bought 12 for $10 for my husband (huge cupcake lover!) and asked for one of each flavor to test out as many flavors as possible. They are so friggin' adorable!!! And they come with a menu so you can match up which ones you're eating. I know it's a gimmick but they are moist and delicious. Fun to share!

    Super cute bites! Even a Pride inspired bite this month!

    Super good but wish they were a little bigger. They're cute little bites but super easy to devour a 24 pack. Great flavors and really moist cakes. They aren't overly sugary but a nice little treat while at the airport. They have a good selection of flavors and even featured a special Pride one for the month of June.

    Because I couldn't wait to eat them, 2 down. 4 to go. Yum!

    The only thing better then full sized deliciousness is bite sized. I needed a sweet pick me up while I waited for my flight. I was immediately drawn to the shop full of tiny treats. Cupcakes and macaroons. I picked out a 6 pack cupcake sampler. Each slightly different but all quite tasty. Different icings, batter and toppings. I like being able to try many different flavors without having to purchase large treats. Each is literally a pop in your mouth bite size, shareable if you are really congniscent of your bite. Located in terminal 5 at JFK near jet blue flights. A nice change from the usual candy at the magazine shop. The cookie dough was my favorite.

    Maybe Melissa has an established product following and I am just out of the loop, but I was underwhelmed by this place. Cute setup, good selection of flavors, but the "cupcakes" themselves are like 1/5th the size of a regular mini cupcake- they seem to be going for the "just the tops" crowd, but when I'm paying dollar for a piece of undercooked cake the size of my thumbnail, it better be amazing. But it's not- tastes like the dough is barely cooked, but I will say that the flavors are very distinct. PB&J and their version of Mint Chocolate Chip were both good, Red Velvet was very basic, Tie Dye seems to be their take on classic Confetti Cake. Didn't care for their featured Crunch flavor or the chocolate-covered versions. Side note: they also give out an absurd amount of "featured product" ads, brand stickers and tattoos, and other marketing materials with every order. I shouldn't have as many flyers as "cupcakes" with my order.

    Reading all the reviews makes me sad they didn't offer any cupcakes with macarons on top! Excited to find a Baked by Melissa at the terminal, I bought four 12 piece boxes, one of each flavor, and a 6 piece box all as gifts. I found out adding the tie dye ribbon costs $1 each but what the hey, it looks pretty and presentable. It was very nice of the employees to wrap the boxes up with plastic wrap before adding bows to seal in freshness. Right before our flight, we ate almost a whole dozen so I ran back to the store and bought the 25 piece bubble container for $20 a few minutes before boarding. Good thing we were at the closest gate! We really liked the cookies & cream, mint cookie, red velvet, chocolate chip pancake, and April flavor chocolate Babka with cinnamon filling. I interacted with both employees and they were polite and patient. I added on the 4th dozen while she was tying the ribbon. We also got some free cupcake stickers and temporary tattoos. Pricey at $12/dozen but great NYC gift to bring back home!

    A dozen for about ten bucks

    0.6 miJFK Airport
    $$

    The shoppe is located within JFK airport in the Delta Terminal B. The customer Service was…read morefriendly. I made the lady say that everything was calories free & low in fat. She did try to upsell due to the fact that I was drooling and already indecisive over what I saw. I choose the raspberry cheesecake muffin and the mini cheesecake mud pie. The muffin was really good. I was a bit disappointed that the Cheesecake was only on that little portion of the muffin top instead of also within the muffin, it was chocolate oh & moist. The muffin was huge and cost $3.95. The mini cheesecake cost $4.95. It was rich in chocolate. Now this was perfection; it hit the spot. If ever I come through this terminal again, I'd definitely come back. I just wouldn't get the cheesecake muffin.

    Ah...duped again: cupcakes that are all pomp and circumstance, but no substance. Despite all the…read moreeffort and love that went into getting them across the coast.... Methinks not,,,the rip off of $5, despite all the pretty pretty box, bag, piping, etc Quality of the cupcake batter is very pedestrian. As someone else pointed out, no flavor to the frostings either. i actually took a fork and scraped over 80% of it off....not a good overall texture or flavor. On the tongue, was even a bit gummy! Who likes that!? Cake batter: not moist enough, and def not big enough for the price tag. RV was an off putting "non fresh" dyed color. No thank you. This 8 month old cupcake spot at the JFK just doesn't have the wow factor for me.
