The shop is cute and cozy with a nice display of cupcakes available and prices. I opted to purchase 4 cupcakes to share and had asked the staff member for recommendations on flavors. Customer service was excellent, friendly and efficient. I will say the cupcakes are a bit pricey ($4.99 each) but the quality and taste are great. It's also wonderful that they have gluten free and vegan cupcakes available too. I enjoyed the cookie butter and cookies n' cream flavors, the cupcakes weren't overly sweet and had a nice texture and the icing was good too. I was curious about trying the pandan and strawberry crunch flavors, and will need to return for more cupcakes! Overall, a solid spot for delicious cupcakes! Definitely recommend!

The event guests had fun choosing what flavors they were going to eat and raved about the taste. I think my two favorites were the cookies and cream cupcake and the biscoff cookie cupcake. Highly recommend for any events you're hosting (they have regular cupcakes, mini cupcakes, cakes, etc.).

I'm going to focus on the tart because to be honest, it garnered a buzz for how good it was. Perfect balance of flavor, tart, sweet.... absolute deliciousness. This has been my go-to bakery and never has it let me down. I couldn't take praise for how good the tart was but I happily accepted the thanks for the sharing the find.

Even my friends who don't like sweets love this cupcake! They make a full sized cake version as well which is also delicious. I usually am not a fan of cupcakes because I feel like they lack depth of flavor compared to other desserts, but that's not the case at Cupcakin'. While key lime is my favorite, I've enjoyed every flavor I've tried here. Chocolate, Oreo, and red velvet are also great.

Street parking is the only option. Today, on a play date, I asked my daughter and friend if they wanted a cupcake - YEAH! The permanently drawn hopscotch and flowers on the sidewalk adjacent to the store was a nice touch. The two littles hopscotched their way to the front door. The hours are clearly printed on the door with adornments in the windows to be seen from the outside. Inside the store is quaint. The cupcake display is upfront with the register to the left. We were immediately greeted upon entering. We were the only group inside. At 12:30PM the display case was fairly empty, using cupcake name plates to determine if I wanted any not displayed - I did, one. The young lady behind the counter was in the middle of bringing out an oversized tub of cupcakes to fill the display as we entered. There were about 25 cupcake flavors to choose from with some being vegan including 3 additional dessert options. We each made our selection - vanilla bean, vanilla chocolate, lemon drop, Meyer lemon cream - each $4.75 and packaged individually upon request. Mobile pay, credit/debit and cash were options of payment. The cupcakes are smedium (small medium) in size. The vanilla bean frosting was enjoyed by my daughter. The cupcake itself did not taste like vanilla, more yellow cake forward and was a bit dry. The vanilla chocolate was devoured by my daughter's friend - she enjoyed. The lemon drop was lemon forward, the cupcake was moist, frosting thick. The Meyer lemon was a sweet, lemon forward cupcake, moist with a lemon curd my husband enjoyed.

However, I didn't have a great experience. The person who served me was not nice or friendly at all. I was new and I was not informed on anything, sizes, or the type of cupcakes flavors she had. I was even asked, what size do you want? And there was multiple sizes, all I could guess by hand, was small and big.. but I didn't know the other sizes names...due to not being told. I was super rushed and was the only one in line. Weird. I was so excited to try, but the experience made everything change. Customer service was terrible. I wanted to take photos and videos to make a review and I was basically questioned as to why I was doing so... I informed her, that I was apart of the yelp community and then I was rudely asked. Do you work for yelp? I said no, I'm Yelp Elite. Then nothing was said, just a not so pleasant look. I don't think I will ever return, but you guys check them out. I hope you have a better experience. * UPDATE... then my co worker went to get cupcakes on his break... and had a totally different experience and he was given a Togo cupcake box when I received a napkin.
