    Classic Butter Cupcake with Chocolate Frosting
    Chris A.

    This summer has started off with a bang! Softball of coarse is the reason but even when the score doesn't go our way, food exploration is on the docket. We decided to visit Chattanooga and grab a sweet treat...well 5 of them! Eclair, cannoli, raw cookie dough, snores cupcake and classic butter cake with chocolate frosting! All of them were very good! Food was a 9 but the service and friendly atmosphere was a 10+! If you are here in town, it's definitely worth a stop. Downside, Chattanooga has the most expensive parking, if you are here on a weekend, park on the street, it's free! However, this place is worth every penny to park!

    To Go Packaging

    Cupcake Kitchen is a delight from the moment you walk in--the display cases are packed with cupcakes in every flavor imaginable, along with cookies, cannolis, and other treats. At $5.50 each, the cupcakes feel well worth it; they're dense, generously topped, and clearly made with care. The staff was warm and walked me through how the cases are organized by icing type--buttercream, fudge, whipped topping, and cream cheese--which made choosing so much easier. I went with the German chocolate cupcake, which was rich, fudgey, and full of coconut flavor. Looking forward to coming back and working my way through more of their lineup.

    The selection of flavors is so hard to choose just a few from! I want them all every time! They're all absolutely delicious, especially the Pineapple Upside Down. The ladies behind the counter were happy and nice. And the little store is small but cute and clean. I visit here every time I'm in Chattanooga, my hometown. :)

    Lots of options to serve everyone here! Their regular bakery items look amazing. In addition, there are gluten free cupcakes (vanilla and chocolate) and gluten free/vegan cupcakes. The gluten free chocolate cupcake is dairy free (contains egg). The gluten free vanilla cupcake contains dairy. Icings are also marked for which ones are gluten free and which are vegan. If you have food allergies, I recommend placing an order. We got lucky when we went that there were cupcakes leftover from a special order. We ordered the gluten free chocolate with strawberry icing and gluten free chocolate with caramel fudge icing (all dairy free also). We ordered the gluten free/vegan vanilla with cinnamon icing. The icings are SO good. We definitely preferred the chocolate cupcake (containing egg it had a better texture). The vegan cupcakes are denser as expected being egg free. Would definitely return!

    Stopped in for cupcakes after dinner at Lupi's ... we got a few few things. They were good but not great. I thought the cupcake was a little dry. We still scarfed them down though. Luckily it was a nice night and we were able to sit on the porch to eat. They have a nice little sitting area there on the porch. The staff inside was pleasant but nothing special. If you need a cupcake, this is the place to go.

    Almond Raspberry cupcake ($5). DELICIOUS!

    Hands down the BEST cupcakes in Chattanooga, if not in all of East Tennessee. Their cupcakes are appealing to the eyes and delicious to the taste buds. Quality and presentation are just as great, too. They offer creative flavors as well as classic flavors that are done extremely well. Cupcakes are the star of the show here, but there's also edible cookie dough, ice cream cupcakes, and confections like chocolate dipped pretzels, strawberries, oreos, truffles and more! Service was a bit pulseless the day we visited. The two workers seemed a bit preoccupied and almost slightly bothered that they had to stop packaging to help us and the handful of people who came in behind us to order. We did get a "thank you" after paying, though. Designated free parking for Cupcake Kitchen customers can be found just behind the storefront. There's only a total of 5 parking spaces currently, and you must pull in and back out directly onto the road, so parking can be a bit tight. There's an outdoor bar height table to eat at, but no seating inside. Our favorite and most recommended cupcake is definitely the Almond Raspberry ($5). Other flavors we've enjoyed and highly recommend are: Lemon Drop, Chocolate Raspberry, Key Lime Pie, and German Chocolate. Gluten-free and dairy free cupcakes are offered as well! Definitely pop on in and grab yourself a cupcake or two whenever you're in the area. Your sweet tooth will thank you!

    HEAVEN!! If only this place didn't have calories! The selection is endless and it was overwhelming but so fun! I tried the strawberry which was light, flavorful, filled with strawberry filling. The presentation is mouthwatering! The staff is polite, friendly and welcoming. The space isn't huge and it is packed full of delicious options full of color and flavors!

    Cupcake kitchen, downtown Chattanooga Tennessee

    Strolled past this little spot and decided to pop in for a GI spike. The teens split a lemon and Boston cream, while enjoyed a chocolate raspberry. Yum. The girls both agreed that both cakes were deliciously moist but lemon ruled supreme.

    S'mores cupcake
    Dee Y.

    My sweet tooth was in need of something yummy yesterday and so stopped into Cupcake Kitchen. The shop has a variety of delicious looking cupcakes and brownies. I settled on the s'mores cupcake after speaking to the woman workers in the shop about options. The cupcake was $4.09 plus tax. I also grabbed one single cookie - I call it an Mexican wedding cookie but they had another name. It was $0.89. Honestly, the size of the cookie was tiny and not worth the price. So the cupcake... was beautifully designed but the flavors were lacking. I expected more chocolate goodness in the cake which was honestly disappointing. The bottom had a graham cracker crust like but it lacked crunch or flavor. The clerk said the icing marshmallow flavor but I couldn't taste it beyond the single marshmallow on top. If you want a pretty cupcake this is your spot but if you want a delicious tasting cupcake then find a different spot! Plus $4.09 for 1 is in my humble opinion too pricey for size and taste.

    Cookie Sandwich
    Cheri B.

    They have the best macaroons ever. Our favorites are the pistachio and red velvet. There is something for every one, from cupcakes, brownies, cookies, you name it. The chocolate chip cookie dough sandwiches are heavenly! This time we also got the sinful brownie, can't wait to eat it . The staff is also very kind and patient.

There were a lot of options as far as flavors, sizes, toppings, etc. I stuck with a 12 oz white hot chocolate with whipped cream. Now the white hot chocolate was fantastic. It was real white chocolate and it was a nice bit of sweetness. But the cheesecake was unfortunately disappointing. I don't know if it was over baked or over beaten or what but it had a rubbery jello like texture that's not appealing in the mouth when expecting something different. I could only have two bites before giving up on the $9 slice. I'm torn on this review. And this is because I was so excited and hopeful to try the cute hot chocolate place with desserts that I wanted to love it. But was so disappointed with my dessert. The hot chocolate was fantastic and that being their key thing is what I would try again. But I'd probably never reorder a baked dessert from them as they are not necessarily cheap and I wouldn't want to be disappointed when there are other treat options around the area. The space itself is mountainy fun candy cottage vibe. Serves the purpose of having somewhere to enjoy the treats you've ordered inside.

    Mmmm, pie. On my…read morelittle day trip to Chattanooga, I wanted to find a dessert or pastry to take home to share with my husband. It was getting late and I was also tired of walking around the city, so I wanted to find a place that I could drive to easily that would have accessible, free parking, and that was still open -- many bakecafes had already closed. A quick Yelp search revealed this place as a great option! I scooted on over and walked inside. Very friendly staff members, super welcoming. The place was clean and smelled AMAZING! No real seating inside but that's okay. They have a cooling drawer and a room temp drawer depending on the need of the pie. I'd say mostly dessert pies are available but they also have a nice selection of quiches and pot pies. Flavors/varieties rotate depending on the day. They'd sold out of a few varieties when I arrived, but I was still able to get plenty of yumminess. They have a deal for four pies at a reduced cost so that's what I got! All pies are individual though you can preorder larger pies if you need one. Since I had the ~2 hour drive back home, I of course had to opt for non-refrigerated options. I wound up with a lemon blueberry chess pie, a chocolate bourbon pecan pie, a regular pecan pie, and a chocolate chess pie. Seriously, they were all delicious! Somewhat surprisingly, I'd say my favorite was the regular pecan pie. Don't get me wrong, pecan pie is a beloved pie of mine...just thought it would go to something with chocolate. But the amount of sweetness, the ratio of gooey inside to nutty outside...just so good! Each pie had a delightfully buttery, flaky crust. You really can tell the difference -- they're the real deal. Hubs and I split a mini pie each night for four nights and the quality really didn't suffer! I'd say they're the perfect size to split, though I'm sure I also could've devoured a whole one if left unattended, lol. Would love to try more flavors in the future. If you're in the area, give them a visit!

The bread was perfectly crisp, the sandwich was packed with flavor, and the side of wood-fired vegetables gave it a really nice twist. She had the Shrimp and Crab Po'Boy special, which she absolutely loved, especially paired with the Confusion Potatoes. Those potatoes were definitely worth mentioning on their own.
