    To Go Packaging
    Jeremy G.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This sugar free cupcake was good. I thought it was going to taste bad because it's sugar free but it was the opposite. It was moist and tasty. I recommend this place. I'm visiting from Knoxville

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.

The biscuit was very good and there was a big piece of egg and lots of cheese. I'll admit I burnt my mouth eating it too fast. I thought the price was high but comparable to costs these days and yummy enough to be worth it. It also took quite awhile to be made. I got the Self Portrait, which was delicious and worth the visit by itself. Just the right amount of sweetness. My gf got the St. Tropez pastry, which she didn't love. She said the cream inside was cold and disappointing. I ended up stopping back in after going to the art museum because I really wanted to try a croissant (I meant to order it for my breakfast sandwich, but apparently my brain was on biscuit). It was VERY crowded and the line moved slowly. They were telling people ahead of me that it would be 30+ minutes for anything from the kitchen. The croissant was good, nothing special though.

The soup had plenty of basil and the artichokes added a nice twist. The bowls are huge and the portion is large, plenty enough for lunch. It's served with a soft roll and all their bread is baked in-house. The pastries are incredibly delicious as well!

She does have years of experience, superior education and she helped with little tips. The rest of the clases got better because she was more confident. This class is very good for people who are pretty new at decorating cakes, is a VERY basic and short course that will get you started! In my case helped me tremendously because they introduced so many new tools to me and taught me techniques on how to use them. So yes I would totally reccomend this class! I will be taking course 2 and 3 so I can learn even more! They also sell a lot of baking supplies that are priced very reasonable and they have a lot of different options, for example they have several kinds of food coloring and flavors, candy melts, cookie cutters for every occasion, cake boards, pans and boxes every size you can imagine. The sugar shoppe also has a stand at the farmer's market at the first Tennessee pavilion and we really like their cake slices, my mom and my husband enjoy them very much because the textures and flavors they offer. They are large portions for $5 each slice. They are very delicious! I haven't ordered a cake from them, but since I was able to be in their kitchen for the classes I was able to see their cake schedule and they had a very clean and organized kitchen, they prepare ahead the buttercream which is their own recipe ans it's perfect texture to decorate and pipe any designs. I would definitely order a cake from them, they are very nice, I saw them interact with customers who were placing custome orders, they ask a lot of questions to make sure they deliver the cake you want.
