I would get a cupcake once a month for my daughter each month of the first year of her life. It's a bit of a drive but I would make the drive because the cupcakes were so cute and tasty. The little shop is adorable and the service is always good. Great little bakery! read more

Was going to place a large order for cupcakes for my 65th birthday celebration. Purchased some cupcakes to see what cakes tasted like and what flavors to get. I must say I was disappointed!! The 4 cup cakes I purchased were NOT impressive at all. They were not moist nor delectable as I had hoped read more

Ewww , just ordered via grubhub,half of them were dry,cake part dry and cream part hard,i don't like old stuff,expect it to be fresh,the were super sweet as well,ended up in the trash,my kid got grossed out,no more from this place! read more

Deliciousness - 4/5 Happiness - 5/5 More than your average high end cupcake shop. I went in expecting just a handful of cupcakes but came away with a whole bevy of stuff. So let's start with what you want when you come here - cupcakes. They were really good. A perfect frosting to cake ratio and the icing was flavorful and fun. The cake is a little on the dry side, but the frosting was more than good enough to compensate. They also have a ton of different flavor combos. If you don't see what you want in the case, just ask as they keep a lot in the back. But what kicked it up were the extras. I bought handmade chocolate bars. One was blinged out with edible jewel type things and silver streaks. The other was coated everywhere in nuts and fruits - so much so that I can convince myself it's a health bar. I also bought an Irish Cream flavored chocolate bar from an outside vendor that I look forward to eating. They also have chocolate covered pretzels, cake pops and lots of other Wonka-esque fun! Finally, I ordered a mocha that wasn't nearly chocolate-y enough for me (I like mine more sugary than espresso flavor), but they did have a bunch of coffee drinks there. I definitely look forward to going back. read more

Not great! Cookies are extremely dry & hard. Wouldn't recommend over even Food Lion next door.

Soooooo the craving for a red velvet cupcake hit me and unsure where to turn, my tried and true led me here to you!!! I walked in about forty minutes before closing and thought my cupcake dreams were destroyed as I walked in and saw the young lady cleaning the case. After asking if I was too late, she responded not at all. The case was empty but the cupcakes were in the back, she just had to "dress" the ones I wanted as the tags were still in the case. Undecided and greedy I begrudgingly went with a six pack. Four red velvets, one Black Forest and a something blueberry. So far I've only had one red velvet and it was yummy. Don't let all the icing fool you, it looks like a lot but it works well with the cupcake. The cake was moist so that was a plus. If you get your bite right, you get a perfect pairing that makes all red velvet dreams come true. Hopefully the other two will taste just as good. The inside of the cakery is a total vibe. It's something about the color turquoise that warms and pops any location. Seating is not plentiful but there is some seating gone had. Located in the strip mall, there's plenty to of parking. Not only do try have a check in offer but they also have a military discount, coffee, tea and make custom cakes as well. Officially cupcaked and happy with this experience! read more

Yum! After making a quick visit to IKEA, we took out our handy Yelp app and found this cupcakery. Free parking is available. The cashier is friendly and very helpful. Our goodies were wrapped up neatly. The cupcake shop is super cute and I love the decor in here. They offer cupcakes, cake pops, chocolate bars, and custom-designed cakes. We tried some of their cupcakes and cake pops. The cake is flavorful and not too sweet. The consistency isn't as fluffy and light as we'd like it, but it was still very tasty. The frosting is creamy, smooth, and sweet. Some of the cupcakes had fillings as well, which was a lovely surprise. Indoor seating is available. Restrooms are in the back and clean. I'm glad we got a chance to visit Cravings Cupcakery. If you check-in on Yelp, you get 10% off your order. If you're in the Woodbridge area, definitely check this cupcake shop out. read more

Purchased 6 cupcakes, that looked delicious. Unfortunately the cupcakes were awful. The frosting was "crunchy" and cake was hard and dry, obviously stale. The taste confirmed they were old- who knows how long they sat in the cabinet. I had purchased them over the years since they were opened. When sharing my experience with a neighbor, who's also purchased Cravings Cupcakery over the years, who shared having a similar experience with purchasing stale cupcakes after the holidays, she learned the original owner sold her bakery so the current cupcakes - although the name and recipe may have been sold to the current owner, they obviously do not offer the same high quality freshness that was previously offered by Cravings Cupcakery. Save your money, go over to the Food Lion in the same shopping center for cupcakes instead of paying for dry crusty cupcakes here. Very disappointed learning the delicious cupcakes once offered here are a thing of the past. read more

Cravings Cupcakery absolutely ruined my peace of mind this past Saturday for my sons first birthday by not having our PAID FOR order ready. I tried to rally but was truly devastated. They apologized to my husband (who went to pick up the cupcakes and smash cake we talked about, ordered, and paid for on the way to my sons party) and said they would deliver the cupcakes in 30 to us. TWO HOURS LATER..in came a laughable mixmatch of cupcakes- Some were funfetti, some were vanilla, some tasted like cinnamon, other people said they tasted coconut. Luckily, none of the kiddos who ate some were allergic to any of the random assortment ..non of which we agreed on. *THE ICING ON THE CAKE* (pun intended) was when we finally cut open this massive "smash cake" they brought to us, there was a giant roll of PLASTIC inside it. I almost don't even have words for this. Like..What if I let my one year go to town on the cake and one of them choked on the plastic? Or cut it open at the party? Not to mention it's disgusting and a total slap in the face on top of everything. Finally, get this, no call of apology was ever made. Just a late night email saying they would take 100.00 off my order..implying that I was going to pay them ANYTHING after this nightmare! I made a few posts on my social media to make others AWARE because, duh, if you get good customer service you tell a few people but bad service you tell the world! And SO many people chimed in! Late orders, wrong orders, MOLDY CAKE POPS! How are they still in business? My dad (now retired) was the director of health and safety for a major organization. He'll be making a few calls to some health inspectors to check them out. Buyers beware! read more

Cravings cupcakery is hands down one of the best bake shops in Woodbridge. The chocolate covered strawberries taste delicious and they use really big strawberries unlike other places I've ordered from. & they have countless cupcake flavors that are all excellent. The staff is super friendly here. I highly recommend getting all of your dessert/pastry needs from this establishment. read more

They did offer me a refund for the molded cake pop, but it wasn't worth the 40 minute commute. I'm hoping that with this review they will figure out a better way to rotate their food. I was told that these are rotated every 24/48 hours. That's been more than two days. read more

Stopped in to grab something for my Grandma's birthday. I have never visited before but the inside layout looked really nice. However, the customer service was eh. The lady behind the counter just had an attitude for no reason. When she was walking towards the counter she did say something but I was pretty far away and couldn't hear her( she was saying she had everything in the back) even though I missed partly what she said; I had asked do you have carrot cake and she goes everything in the case is what we have rather then just saying yes. ( which they do ) She just had an attitude...like I understand I could've read the signs in the case but I literally just wanted one carrot cake cupcake so that's all I was asking. Despite that, I do like that this is a local place you can support them rather then just run into a grocery store and get cupcakes. My grandma enjoyed the cupcake! read more

Man oh man. I wish i knew about this place sooner as often as i go to Woodbridge. We walked in 15 mins till close and we're greeted with a smile! Told there was plenty left if not shown in the case. They wrap up early & take leftovers to the shelters! That's so awesome. No waste & helping the community. Got 4 cupcakes: 1 marble, 1 raspberry & 2 red velvet. The raspberry was by far my favorite. The red velvet taking a 2nd place of course. I might have waited too long to eat the marble one because when i did it was kinda crumbly instead of moist like the others. I will def return!! They also offer military discount and if you check in with yelp, 10% off! read more

It's nice to know that Woodbridge has a local bakery whose owner was on Food Network's: Cupcake Wars! The cupcakes are delicious. Moist.. (I hate that word, but it's true!). My favorite so far is their Marble cupcake. The cake pops were so fresh and soft. I also ordered an iced coffee on a hot day which was definitely better than Dunkin' Donuts iced coffee, but not quite the work of a full on coffee shop. Oh! And if you're a Yelper, don't forget to check in! You may get a 10% off coupon! read more

I've never been so disappointed in a bakery like this I used to go their with my friends because their cupcakes were so good and so I decided to order a cake for my brothers birthday, I ordered the cake 3weeks ahead(nov 14th) and I was going to pick up (dec 4th) I did the order in person was their awhile and asking what flavors can go best, they seem kind and helpful. December 4th comes up and I call at at 10:56am to ask when I can pick up the cake since I had forgotten( I didn't know if it was 11am or 12pm) no one answers so I called again and again and I just left a voicemail to call me and let me know. I let another hour to past this time it was 12pm and just went down to the bakery and when I got there it was closed(12:30pm) and I worried because I needed my cake and I called several time and I even sent an email. I went back to my car and I had seen someone moving so I went back and just waited for them to open at this point I was upset because they knew I was outside and ( they didn't even answer their phone knowing I was outside) couldn't even open the door so I just started to knock because I just needed my cake and I was looking like a crazy person waiting outside the door and knocking. I had already seen a men on the back and stand there for more then 30mins, then went back to my car because it was getting cold and then I seen the man unlocking the door at 1:10pm, so that when I went in no one was in front but then a girl came up front and I told her" I came to pick up a cake order" she proceeded to tell me that the owner that makes the cake had an emergency and she couldn't make it and that she would send me an email about it. I was very upset and just wanted to cry because one I had no cake two I had left my brother without a cake that I paid in full since I had order it 3weeks ahead, I told her kindly that I wanted my money back and she proceeded to tell me I'll give her a call, like (I paid you to do absolutely nothing) I told the front girl "I understand emergency happened but you don't leave your customers on read and solve the problem by themselves", mind you they open at 9:30am they could've gave me a call at 9:30am past and let me know they can't do my cake instead they abuse my time and didn't let me know, after that I was rushing to some bakery's if they do a cake for me, in every voicemail and every email I had put my phone number in to call me, text me if anything happened , sincerely I was too nice and didn't argue with them or told them a lot of things like a upset customer would never going to recommend this place and never coming back to this place. Especially for the men owner that didn't want to give its face and let me know what was going on. Was hoping for him to just let me know they forgot my cake and couldn't make it and that they can give my money back Instead they made me wait and I had to ask to give my money back! Was really excited about this cake was a kind gesture for my brother but they really ruined my day, my time and patience. DON'T recommend! Doesn't even deserve one star I give it ZERO STARS(0) Below I will show proof of all the calls I made emails I made and when I send the picture for reference. read more

Can't do Dunkin Donuts at all so I was super excited to have this bakery open up in Woodbridge/Dillingham Square shopping center. Small, cozy store but the decor is very funky and cool. They offer indoor seating as well. Staff was great......Not a huge selection of cupcakes. We picked up 2 cake pops.... a gluten free vanilla, and a regular chocolate cake pop as well as a banana pudding cupcake. The chocolate cake pop was fine but the gluten free have you ever accidentally gotten sand in your food while at the beach. The gluten free option taste like they use rice flour and has that gritty taste....... dry and well yuck. The frosting was sweet but the cupcake had chunks of bananas in it that was nice. It was a actual pudding in a cupcake holder. I hope they work out some of the texture issues I really want them to do well- the community needs them. Agreeing with my fellow yelpers - the gluten free was a bit dry. My daughter who bakes says they may use rice flour. Lidl's bakery is not as exciting...... bring back hazelnut croissants! read more

I was hoping I just hit it on a bad day. I wanted it to be good. I wanted to support a small local business. But... the cupcakes ended up in the garbage. The cake was dry and tasted stale - like it had been around several days before selling it. The frosting was buttercream - which I normally love. But, it tasted like they forgot a few ingredients because it literally tasted like eating a stick of butter. I reached out to follow up and they insisted they were baked fresh daily and did not seem to care about my feedback. I had purchased these for my son's milestone birthday. It was supposed to be special. Instead, it felt like an April Fool's joke. He didn't finish it. We got 6 different flavors - we each tried two. All four of those ended up in the garbage after a few bites. The other two just went directly in the trash. To say we were disappointed is an understatement. To say we will never go back is an easy decision. I hesitated to share this review but felt it would be a disservice to future customers to not share our experience. I'm still hoping it was an off day but they did not offer an opportunity for us to bring them back or try to encourage us to try again so that leads me to think that they did not value our opinion or our business. So... I wish them well but needed to share our experience. It was very upsetting to have what should have been a special treat turn out to be trash ... literally inedible. I also got a Smores cake pop that looked good but also tasted ... well... disappointing... to put it mildly. read more

If I could give it zero stars, I would. Ordered a custom cake (over $300) and the entire cake collapsed. Two tiered cake that was too top heavy. Contacted the owner, Alex and was told nothing could be done once it leaves her doors. TERRIBLE customer service!! Will NEVER go back! DO NOT ORDER ANY CUSTOM CAKES from them. read more

I really not sure if I ordered the same place as others. I ordered delivery through Doordash because the cupcakes on the pic looked great, and the reviews were mostly good too. The presentation was great, however, the cakes were soooo dry, the frosting was super sweet. For this price, I won't be back. read more

UPDATED REVIEW: I reached out to Carie with another outlandish request, and she made me look like a rockstar. My daughter is part of a local high schools' Marching B as and, so we were celebrating her birthday at halftime with her band friends. I asked for 3 layers, totally customized for my daughter. It was a hit! Both aesthetically and delicious. Some kids came back for thirds....(you're welcome, parents!). I will continue to order from Carie for our milestone moments. Her cakes are not only yummy, but the perfect edible centerpiece!! read more

I coincidentally saw this place on my way to the dollar store to pick up birthday balloons. As soon as I walked in I knew it was going to be good. It smelled soooooo good!I bought the orange creamsicle and it was soooo good!!! Im not a big fan of icing, but here it was good! Maybe a lot more sugar than I should have, but good! LOL read more

I stopped by this am just to pick up a few cupcakes to brighten my COVID day. They had peaches and creme cupcakes which I got since I love seasonal peaches. OMG! Next to a peach fresh from the orchard, this is the best I have ever had. The cupcake is heavy full of peach filling, the cake moist and with the icing, it made for one of the best cupcakes I ever had. I would be remiss if I didn't comment on the other cupcakes which are always very good. Try the peach - you won't regret it. read more

I am a cupcake enthusiast and being that we are military and move around about every other year, I'm always searching out the best cupcake places in the area. This was my first time visiting this facility and I believe I was greeted by the owner. If not the owner, then it was one of the most considerate and dedicated employees I've ever met. She quickly pointed out the different types of cupcakes, gave a brief description of each, and also told me about the different specials they offer. Though I came in for one possibly two cupcakes, I ended up leaving with four. No regrets. The cupcakes were great quality, tasted wonderful, and filled the sugar needs had for the day. I would love to return one day to purchase one of the specialty cakes they provide, because I'm sure they're even more immaculate than the cupcakes. read more

What a treat!!! I cannot begin to tell you how many times I have driven past and didn't go in. But we are hooked! The cupcakes are fantastic with a variety of flavors and concoctions.

Trying new places during post-Covid is in fact "trying". I have been trying to get to this place for a while now and today I went in and was greeted by a wonderful employee immediately. There weren't many cupcakes available at the time but since for me sometimes less is more that was fine. I headed home with my Confetti and Strawberry Shortcake cupcake and I have to say the Confetti cupcake was a sugar rush. (I am not sure if that's good or bad but it happened. Now keep in mind, I didn't have breakfast yet so that may definitely played into it.) I think they are definitely better than some of the other cupcake places in the area. Since I'm signed up for their Loyalty Rewards and the cupcakes were above average. I'll be back. :) read more

Carie Parker is one of the most TALENTED bakers I have had the pleasure to work with. She created two AMAZING cakes for events I was hosting. The cake she created for my retirement ceremony was gorgeous!!! All my guests AND the staff at the restaurant were in AH!!!! Jaws dropped!!! Have I mentioned the taste? Probably not because I am still drooling over the memories! I had red velvet tier and a pumpkin w/spiced cream tier. I am not going to lie, there were people licking plates and stealing bites from other people. I seriously saw my Grandmother give someone the "look of death" when they asked for a bite of her cake. Carie is a amazing artist!! You will not be disappointed when you order from this company! THANK YOU THANK YOU THA K YOU CARIE!!! read more

Hands down the most delicious cupcakes I have ever had. With that being said, I will say that the coffee is a tad overpriced for my liking.

cupcakes were waaay too dry and the frosting is extremely sweet. high expectations but not really impressed. the cake pops were okay though. read more

To be perfectly honest the cupcakes are just ok. As some have said the quality has gone done over the past year or so. I went in with my son last week and we waited just over 5 minutes before someone came out from the back to take our order. It seemed like they were in back chatting. We ordered our cupcakes and cake pops and they were just ok. Nothing especially special about them nor anything too terrible about them either. You could probably come up with the same at home with some practice. Would I come back, probably because I don't like to bake and this is the only place in the area. read more

Here is my take on Cravings Cupcakery! The store front is adorable with nice seating. The employees are super friendly and explained the way it works with the daily special flavors and the flavors they have all the time and about the coffee which is their own blend. I will definitely try coffee next time but I brought my own! I had one of the cupcakes of the day which was a Heath! The cake was amazing! Very moist! It had a little chocolate bomb on the inside which was delicious. The icing was VERY sweet! I LOVE sweet so it was good with me but some would probably find it toooo sweet! I would say her flavors are just a little bit basic for a cupcake specialty shop. Not as creative as Lavender Moon in Alexandria but also not as far and the service was definitely friendlier! Definitely a good place for a local cupcake.....I will be a repeat customer for sure! read more
