Stop at Cup Cake for a quick bite for lunch. Not expecting much, but to my surprise the ruben sandwhich was delicious. It came with home made french fries, very crunchy and fresh. The ruben had home made sauerkraut, and a delicious sauce. Great Bloody's and local beers read more

I used to hate Cupcake because they replaced Pardon My French... The customer service I received tonight was incredible. Three of the four cupcakes I got were delicious. One was too sugary for my taste. read more

First time at the Mason Jar--the restaurant side of Cupcake. Atmosphere--a bit noisy, which is sort of par for these types of places. Lots of echoes and very tall ceilings, so the place feels more like a cafeteria than an intimate restaurant. That may be what they're looking for, but it was loud enough that conversation was a little tough. Service wasn't bad. Nothing to complain about, other than my standard complaint that most servers interrupt conversations, while a good/professional server will wait and find a better time to interrupt. I had the "10,000 Lakes" pot pie. I like the idea of it not being a run-of-the-mill entrée. Chicken, carrots, mushrooms, some cheese, with a biscuit as the top of the pie. The pot pie was just adequate and seemed more something out of a can than a true chef-inspired and chef-made meal. It was heated a little unevenly, which seemed to indicate that it was a microwaved meal. Biscuit was not very fresh, more what you'd expect if you bought it at a grocery store. There was very little chicken in the pot pie, and everything was a bit dry, and generally very bland. The bottom line is that this particular dish was a nice idea, but poorly executed and not very flavorful. read more

Four of us had lunch on the restaurant side. We had the artichoke dip for an appetizer which was good but nothing unique. We shared an order of Mac n cheese- it was delicious! Wish I would have ordered that as my entree. Service was good and prices were reasonable. As for the cupcakes. A nice selection but I wasn't that impressed with the taste. Definitely overpriced. I paid the same for two cupcakes as I did for lunch. read more

I had the Boston Cream Pie cupcake because it had a little sign that said it was from the show "Cupcake Wars". It was pretty moist and I liked the chocolate ganache on the top. I wish the cupcakes were bigger though. $4 for that one cupcake just doesn't seem like a good deal to me. Also, the coffee could have been a little warmer. read more

Cupcake Bakery - Boston Cream Pie cupcake with black coffee - Cupcakes Near Me - Eagan, Minnesota

The cupcakes have been ok at best. We have eaten at the Mason jar as well which was ok as well. So on a cold Sat afternoon after some major research on caterers for our daughters grad party we(my wife and I) decided to go there for a cup of coffee. we entered to several tables being occupied. The one cash register right at the entrance said 'Closed', however there were people behind the bakery counter appearing busy doing work. We hovered there for several minutes. The girl saw us but did not bother to ask us if we were helped. Maybe we didnt 'look' like the people that would haunt places such as these. In all aspects ie. Its terribly sad that when I asked the girl if they were open, she rolled her eyes and replied to my question about a product with no interest in me understanding it. At that point we walked out. My wife was pretty hot under the collar at the behavior and went back in to seek the manager, who was unapologetic. He said he was sorry that she was having a bad day. Which she was not until we stepped into the store. NEVER GOING THERE AGAIN. Felt humiliated, treated like a retard and for what, terribly terribly average food? They dont deserve our business for sure! read more

The cupcakes are yummy, the service is friendly and the coffee is weak. Cute decor but very loud refrigerated display cases and wobbly tables. read more

Cupcake Bakery - My daughter was thrilled by the selection. - Cupcakes Near Me - Eagan, Minnesota

The selection isn't unique and the cakes are cloyingly sweet as well as dry. There are better places for desserts for sure, and going here will just make you wanting more as it's not satisfying. The cupcakes are also overpriced as well. The Redeemer of the bunch is the dulce de leche cupcake. If you are curious about this place due its notoriety due to the Food Network order the mini cakes. read more

Stopped into Cupcake for the first time last night to check it out. The layout of the building is odd, but they have signs to direct you. The cupcakes were delicious. We tried carrot cake, sea salt caramel, pumpkin, and a brownie one. Pumpkin and sea salt caramel were our favorites! The cupcakes could have been a little bit more moist, but that's the only negative taste wise. The cupcakes are a prefect size to try a couple, however, I think they were a bit pricey for the size. read more

Went in to "Cupcakes" to actually buy cupcakes when they opened at 7 only to be told that they didn't have but 2 kinds but if I came back around 1pm they should have a "good variety". Ironic.... No cupcakes at a place that specializes in one thing....CUPCAKES! read more

After disappointing experiences at 2 other specialty cupcake shops, I was anxious to try this Eagan location in light of the Cupcake wars win. The closed bakery (Pardon My French) that they replaced was going to be some stiff shoes to fill. Today we picked up 5 cupcakes to share and try different flavors. The cupcakes were expensive and small and did not look anywhere near as impressive as they did on the website. They were at best ok, but not worth the money. The cream cheese frosting on the Red Velvet had a gelatinous texture. The texture of the strawberry shortcake cupcake was very dense, but perhaps they were trying to mimic the texture of real shortcake. The other flavors were better but nothing I couldn't make myself with a mix for far less than the $4 per cupcake they were charging. Also, I previously noted that their hours indicate the Eagan location (which is the only location that also has a cafe, and serves beer and wine) is open until midnight on weekends. I found it hard to believe that in the dead of winter with this suburban location off the beaten path, that they could do enough business to stay open past 8 or 9, but we tried to go there a few weeks ago on a Saturday around 10:00 p.m., and they were closed up tight, but still have not changed the hours on their website. The had a huge selection of cupcakes from which to choose and I can't imagine they sell enough of any flavor to justify making so many varieties which is why I suspect the freeze them and take out a few of each flavor. That might explain the horrible texture of the cream cheese frosting. read more

Since my last review, I've been here a few more times. I went there last night. Really, I wish this place all the best. I won't be back for dinner. For the price, there are dozens, if not hundreds, of restaurants in this market that offer tastier food and better service. Fifteen bucks for a small plate of blackened tilapia and seasoned rice was actually the highlight at our table (other than fries on kids plates). At least they cooked the fish. My girl got a pot pie - 10,000 Lakes - which was bland and, well, not a pot pie. It had a top crust and then some sort of creamy soup w/ bland and cheap dark meat chicken. But the kids - we paid seven bucks for uncooked chicken strips and fries. We sent some chicken strips back - they were raw (I.e. Pink in the center and cold to the touch). When the original strips returned on a plate handed to us by our server, she said, "I'm not sure if they're trying to haze me or something, but they've cooked the rest of your strips." Unreal. It's raw chicken - a health hazard - and the cooks are back there laughing it up. And of course kids pay for their milk at Cupcake, too, so their meals are actually about ten bucks each. We did order cupcakes at the bakery and they were fine, though we waited quite a bit to get someone at either our table or the bakery to notice. I've tried to give CC the benefit of the doubt. They try to make some things interesting. And the cupcakes are usually tasty. The problem is that I spent ninety dollars and I left less than satisfied. If I spent ninety at Bonfire or at Andiamo MN or at Vivo or at Stephanos or virtually any place in Bloomington or south Minneapolis, I would have left happy. At Cupcake, I am always left saying, "if only." If only the pizza didn't have flour all over the crust. If only they could cook chicken strips (or could make a pot pie). If only the kids meals came with a drink. If only I didn't drop ninety bucks on marginal food. I won't have to write that last sentence anymore - at least as it relates to CC. read more

WOW ! (Again Wow!!) - delicious food and an awesome experience. Friendly staff, SUMMIT Oatmeal Stout .....mmmmm. I had stuffed chicken w/ feta and it was silly good! Go go go - GO DOG GO ! Go here and you will see ....now back to my beer. read more

I don't usually review on Yelp, but saw the negative reviews this place has gotten, and felt I had to give my two cents! Just ate here today (my 6th or 7th time), and the food was AMAZING (as always - have never had a bad experience here, and take friends/clients/family frequently since they opened). As a side note, the restaurant part is called The Mason Jar, the dessert side is called Cupcake. Both are in the same space. This time, my friend and I tried two different stone fired pizzas (Margherita and 4-cheese), and both were the best we've ever had in an Eagan restaurant - as good as Punch's Pizza in Minneapolis. Our server was really sweet and attentive, and we met the owner. The cupcakes for dessert were crazy-good. I had a chocolate mousse cupcake, my friend had a chocolate/caramel/mousse one. 5 stars for sure. Everyone I take here has been impressed. Give this place a fair shake - it's the best thing to happen to Eagan since Pardon My French closed. read more

At the current moment I am not impressed with the staff. One of the staff (lady with glasses and bandanna) was extremely unwelcoming. I came with a friend and my 2 kids. After 1 of my kids chose their cupcake she asks annoyed and rudely... Is that all. I said no.. Then my other child chose theirs and again she says rudely.. "Is that all"... I look at her and say no.. We are getting one too... She was staring at the ceiling.. Leaning on the counter.. I chose mine and again she say "is that all""... And then walks away. He finally ordered his and I said and 4 waters.. She point behind me and says something under her breath.. I say what.. She then yelled it's behind you.... Overall the customer service is enough for me to question whether I would recommend this place again. read more

Stopped here on a whim on my way home from work one day after seeing a sign on the highway with a cupcake. It was a bit of a haul from the highway but the results were delicious. I bought a couple of macarons and 4 cupcakes. I had the red velvet cupcake and really enjoyed it. If I'm in the area again I would totally stop by again. read more

Nicely located in a strip mall in Eagan, there's ample of parking! There are lots of selections to choose from when you walk in, also there are non cupcake items for sale too! The cupcake prices vary and the size of the cupcakes are average. I usually order the Paris Hilton (pink sprinkled top vanilla frosting + vanilla cake) & the I Love Lucy (heart fondant on vanilla frosting + vanilla cake). The cupcakes are usually soft and not dry! The only disappointing part of the cupcake is the vanilla frosting, the taste and texture is kind of like cheap store bought frosting. Its really sugary and gritty. read more

Cupcake is ok at best, for what you would expect would be amazing.. Their cupcakes. They are high priced, but as it is more of a special occasion thing that is fine if they are high quality. These simply aren't. Head to sweet retreat in Edina for a significantly better option. Heck lunds and byerlys even makes betting IMO. Their saving grace are their macaroons. Those, while smaller than Patrick's, are fantastic. Overall we will likely not be back as we have given it 4 tries now wanting to like it. They are lucky in this location as true competition is a drive. read more

Let me start with the good: amazing quality of food and a good variety with good value. I ordered one of their pot pies which was great and some cream of broccoli soup which was the best I've ever had period. The problem lies with the service, it's terrible. There were 2 people hosting and cleaning off tables which was a job for one at most since they were mostly standing around doing nothing. There was one waitress working who was incredibly slow and obviously needed help. 10 minutes to place a drink order, almost another 10 to get our drinks then she ran off before we could place our orders being we had 20 minutes at that point to decide on what to get. Then a woman walking around who looked and acted like the owner asked us what looked good so I thought she was helping out. She wasn't. She then left and we had to wait for the waitress to come back another 5 minutes later. Who that woman was and why she asked if she wasn't taking our order may never be answered. So in short, amazing food which was overshadowed by terrible service. I want to go back but probably won't, it's a shame. read more

I've tried a few flavors a few times. Cupcake frosting is hard, like they were made a week ago. Chocolate is not very chocolatey, other flavors are just bland. Certainly not worth what they charge read more

Cupcake has by far the best food in eagan! I have eaten lunch a couple times now at the mason jar, and have purchased cupcakes and bread at the counter. The service has been outstanding on both sides. All the employees are very friendly and knowledgable about the food. The owner, Kevin, came to greet us at the table. He was very friendly and welcoming to us. Every cupcake I've ever had has been so good. The focaccia bread is out of this world, as is their cheese bread. Their coffee and chai are both great too. I highly recommend the breakfast sandwich with bacon or sausage. I will definitely be returning. read more

REVIEW OF MASON JAR...the restaurant side of this is lackluster and the service is even worse. My friend and I split the ruben and fries, my friend also had the chicken vegetable soup. First off, the service was bad. My friend ordered hot tea, she got a cup of tea with this weird huge tea bag in it. No spoon, no sugar, no extra plate for the tea bag...I had to go ask for everything. The sandwich was ok, nothing special and the fries were also just ok not to mention that they split the fries on our plate and I think we both got maybe 10 fries. My friend said the soup was tasteless and didn't even seem to have salt in it. Lastly, it took FOREVER to get our bill. It was not busy and there seemed to be plenty of servers so not sure why it was so slow. read more

Highly recommend!! The atmosphere, dinner, dessert, and drinks were all great! Additionally, we had great, cheerful service. Had the walnut pate flatbread and it was wonderful as was the spicy chai Arnold Palmer. Make sure you get their famous cupcakes while you're here - I tasted the peanut butter chocolate and mocha - awesome - can definitely understand why they won cupcake wars! read more

This review is for Cupcake in Eagan. My family and I have tried these cupcakes on two occasions. The first time, we were extremely disappointed. The cupcakes were dry, tasteless, and all but one was barely edible. We bought the red velvet, the Carol Brady, the salted nut roll, the black bottom, the German chocolate, and the caramel apple. The only one that any of us liked was the black bottom, which is more cheesecake-based. The frosting on the other five was hard and easily separated from the cake as though the cupcake had been refrigerated and/or frozen. After our first visit, we gave Cupcake one star. We decided to give Cupcake another try two weeks later. Upon arrival, my daughter asked if there were any red velvet cupcakes as she didn't see any in the display. The friendly and enthusiastic employee said, "Yes! We have some that are freshly made in the back!" We ordered a red velvet, a pumpkin cream, and 3 mini cupcakes. The red velvet did seem fresh, but actually tasted like a box mix cupcake. The frosting was much fresher this time around. The minis were somewhat dry, and the frosting had a hardened shell but was soft on the inside. The pumpkin cream was delectable. The cream cheese frosting was delicious and the cake was moist. After this visit, we have decided to give Cupcake two stars as this was a better experience, but there do seem to be inconsistencies with the cupcakes and frosting. It really seems to be hit or miss. read more

I like this little dessert shop, I had a blueberry cheesecake cupcake and it was delicious. They have lots of unique flavors, I wanted to try them all! read more

Wow, AMAZING cupcakes! Super place to meet friends or just get some to go. The variety is crazy.

Ate at the Mason Jar restuarant last night and it was delicious! Ordered the Chili Mac & Cheese to eat and the cheesiness was spectacular. The portion was definitely filling but not outrageously large. I had the Chocolate Peanut Butter cupcake for dessert which was perfect balance of Chocolate & Peanut Butter and just the right amount of sweetness to top off the meal. Nicole was a great server & I will definitely be back again. read more

Great pull apart cinnamon treat! Excellent coffee spot, roomy and great view of the kitchen- fun to watch the pastry chefs! We will be back again!! read more

The cupcakes are amazing! I have been to Mason Jar three times now. The food is AMAZING but the service leaves a lot to be desired. The server told us he was swamped and that it was "very busy". I don't think he ever came back after he took our order. A lady (manager?) took care of us after. At least the food was good! I have never had bad food, just bad service. read more

Went to Cupcake on Mother's Day. Didn't realize that we could only sit in the Cupcake section since the Mason Jar was "over and hour" wait. Wanted to order soup but only desserts were available in the Cupcake area. Not at all clear where to order from, waited at cash register then went to baked goods case, the server there said we could order from any of the people behind the case so we started to order from her but she told us she couldn't take our order. What? Just a terrible experience... unfriendly staff, very loud environment, stale, overpriced cupcakes, and an all around uninviting place. Will not go back. Would give it another chance if the cupcakes were half decent. Will get them from another place instead. read more

Boudin Bistrot is nested in the upper floor of Boudin Bakery, with a great view of the San Francisco Bay and Alcatraz. The food was great, as well the experience of seeing the production process of different types of bread, specially the sourdough bread, which they furnish to various restaurants to serve the traditional Clam Chowder in it. They also have a little "Bread Museum" with plenty of nice information about the owners, the history of the establishment and how these histories are linked to the San Francisco's history. read more

Overpriced average food that's just ok nothing really worth speaking of not worth the money

I am a company that that built part of the interior for the restaurant. They damaged it and asked me to come to repair it. I did exactly what was asked of me and they refuse to pay. This was back in January of 2014. There was never a conversation about any problem with my work, they simply will not pay their bill. If you are a small business considering to do work for them, think twice. Why would a reputable company not pay a individual for their labor. read more

Saw this bakery on Cupcake Wars and had high expectations! I was quite disappointed! The cupcakes were dry and overly sweet! I tried the macaroons as well which were not horrible, except for the mint one... slip the mint! Many other choices at a better price! Would not be my pick for cupcakes! read more

Great food. Horrible service. Waited to visit at least three times before posting a review. Was hoping things would improve. The worst is when they screw up they really don't care or try to make it right. Also, FYI, their hours say they close at 10pm on Sat. but they really shut down everything at 9pm. We felt like a burden showing up at 9:20 for dessert and coffee (both of which they were pretty much out of). We had such high hopes for this place. If they cared just a bit more they might have a chance. read more

I was expecting really awesome cupcakes from a place that specializes in cupcakes but mine was not good and was expensive. I got the Cupcake Wars winner - Alton Brown. It has poached pear filling. The cupcake was small and cost $4.95. It had a small dot of pear in the filling, the icing was not sweet at all, and the cake was dry, like it was made a week ago. I ate the filling and threw the rest away. It was a great disappointment and waste of money. I will stick to the yummy Lunds and Bylery's cupcakes, that are huge - I usually split one with my husband and about the same price. I will not go back. read more

I just walked out -- stood at the cupcake counter for ten minutes with no one helping me. I walked over to the cashier to ask her if anyone was manning the counter today. Waited a few more minutes for her to come over to help, then noticed the owner had come over to the counter but was too busy with his paperwork to notice me. Bye bye Cupcake, this was your last chance . . . And you've had plenty! read more

We got a four-pack to bring home after dinner at the Mason Jar. Maybe it was too late in the evening when we visited (6:30pm?). All but one of them were extremely dry and the flavors didn't do it for us. It was a disappointment because they looked wonderful in the case! Looks like other reviewers had better experiences, but the price was not worth the quality during our visit. read more

Not sure which is worse, service or food. We go out to eat in Eagan at least once a week, sometimes 2 -3. We don't even consider going to Cupcake/Mason Jar any more. There is hope, but please Cupcake, listen to these reviews and make changes fast. read more

I can't believe the lack of customer service that I received from this establishment. I called inquiring about the choice of macarons for an upcoming party and was treated horribly and eventually hung up on. I will say that I have previously purchased cupcakes and have eaten in the restaurant. I won't ever be back. read more
