Half a dozen. From top going across... red velvet martini vanilla rum snickers chocolate peanut butter key lime pie and lemon
Dana O.

I wish I had seen the check in deal but it gives me an excuse to come back sooner. This place was amazing. I'm not a huge cake fan but I tend to like cupcakes more for the right icing/cake flavors. They offer an assortments of flavors that change as well as cake. They have unique alcohol infused cupcakes as well. All the icing was so fluffy yet flavorful and perfectly dense. The cake itself was also well flavored and soft. We were really pleased with the richness of the flavors like the key lime really tastes accurate but not artificial. My sister loved the alcohol infused ones. She said she could really taste the alcohol and the sweetness of the cake was balanced well with it. Cupcakes were $3.50 for regular ones and $4 for alcohol infused ones. Got half a dozen for $20 and I was happy to support this family run small business for quality dessert. I'll be back!

Red velvet and strawberry cupcakes
Suhana E.

I tried the strawberry and red velvet cupcakes. I thought they were average. The cupcakes didn't taste very fresh. They were not soft & moist as I would like and the frosting was not light & fluffy as I like it to be. The cupcakes I had were little dense and the frostings were a bit thick. Overall they were okay.

My mom discovered Cupcake People more than five years ago. She told me that she knew who was going to do my wedding cake -- Cupcake People. I laughed because not only was I not planning a wedding, I wasn't in a relationship. Because the location wasn't too far from my commute home, I stopped in one day to try their sweets. O. M. G. The wedding cake is simply divine and I still haven't found another like it. Their cupcakes are all extremely delicious, also. My favorite was quickly established -- salted caramel -- and this became my go to spot on the way home. Calories be damned. In the course of enjoying this guilty pleasure, I started dating the man who became my husband. I'd buy cupcakes to celebrate birthdays and just because. So when I got engaged in 2019, I asked how could I order a cake for my wedding. The owner told me just give them a few days notice and they could do it. Great! That was the idea for our October 2020 wedding -- and then Covid happened. So we went ahead and eloped at home and ordered a small naked cake. Perfect. We postponed our bigger affair due to the pandemic and it was scheduled for November 2021. Again, we knew we wanted their cake to be our cake. I requested a 2 tier salted caramel drip cake with salted caramel and wedding cake layers. I also ordered an additional salted caramel sheet cake for the wedding and a chocolate cookies and cream drip cake and cupcakes for the rehearsal dinner dessert. Because we our event would take place while they were closed, we received our desserts 4 days beforehand and froze them. They held up perfectly!! One frequent question we've gotten since the wedding was "Where did you get this cake?" My mama knew! Thank goodness for Cupcake People. My best friend is getting married in April 2022 and told me she was going to go to Cupcake People for her cake. My wedding planner grabbed a salted caramel cake after the wedding because it was so good. We are thrilled to create more Cupcake People fans! This is a great business in Gwinnett and is owned by a Black family. Wins all around!

Best customer service! My mom and I have the same birthday however I live in CA and she is in GA. I had multiple questions and requests for cupcakes to be delivered to her and they accommodated everything. I wish I could have tried them because they look fabulous. Rave reviews from my mom and her coworkers though. Thanks again!

Strawberry daiquiri, red velvet, coconut, n s'mores on the right is pink lemonade
Kousee L.

Overall, I like this place. I used to go here all the time before I discovered other cupcake bakeries.. The only thing I hate to say is that some if not most of their cupcakes differ ONLY by frosting, disappointing that they are just plain white cakes with like a generic birthday cake frosting or a chocolate cake with peanut butter on it and you call it pb cupcake then the other cake is the same choc. Cake with like chocolate frosting n drizzle or something on it and all of a sudden it's something else. It would be better if every cake had it's own individual uniqueness. BEST BEST thing is the alcohol infused cupcakes. Red velvet martini and strawberry daiquiri... Yummy!!

Red velvet, lemon, strawberry
Saida Y.

I ordered the red velvet, strawberry, & lemon cupcakes. They were all good, the icing was spectacular! I usually stay away from so much icing, but it was so good, I ate it all!

The bare cakes sit on the bare stands without covers all day; can be exposed to anything airborne and not good hygiene practice.
Misty S.

I tried here once before. I tried a banana pudding and pineapple ones. I can tell they are very flavorful and well-crafted recipe, especially for the icing to impress the customers. They have an awesome array of different flavors to grab people's attention to turn them into the repeaters. But the problem was, they were very dry because I got them at night, maybe close to the closing time. I felt like I was eating 2 days old leftovers. Their cupcake display on the cupcake stands are very pretty and appeals to your appetite. But none of those a cakes are covered by glass lids or covers on the stands. The bare cupcakes are sitting on the bare display all day. In other words, they are exposed to the dry air, possibly airborne illness and employees saliva flies out of their mouth as the talk over time. As much as those crafted cupcakes were impressive, they should be more careful and responsible for handling the edible merchandise. I didn't think it was a good hygiene. Most of bakeries, even Waffle House cover their cakes and pies with some protective glass or acrylic covers or lids. I don't know why they slack on the final stage of "quality control". I think it's important for any licensed bakeries to provide fresh, safe, edible, and satisfactory products, no matter what time customers visit the store and buy the baked products. That's their job to perform a constant quality control to maintain the products good all the way through a day, any given time.

A dozen cupcakes that were ruined because the cupcake holders in the box are terrible!

In my opinion, it's the best cupcake shop in the greater ATL area. I appreciate the variety of flavors. I always want to try them all.

I HAVE to tell you the story about our wedding cake! Tom and Jeannine with "It Takes the Cake…read moreLawrenceville" are SUCH dear people and I could not be HAPPIER that they made our cake!!! --------- 1: Jeannine and I corresponded through email and ironed out all the particulars of the flavors they offer. 2: Tom baked the samples and they tied them up in a ribbon, cupcakes with many different flavors for us to take home and try out. 3: They drove 3 hours to deliver it! I moved to NW GA from NE, and they didn't even hesitate to transport it all the way to where our wedding ceremony was. 4: We left a few flowers on the cake table in a jar and Jeannine decorated it BEAUTIFULLY. I absolutely ~adored~ how it turned out. They are artistic in more ways than one. 5: It was soooooo good. I can't even tell you how many times I have thought about it since. I need to place a continuous order for our birthdays and holidays etc. 6: And extra extra! They didn't depend on us snagging the top layer for the future, they brought us a COMPLETELY NEW tiny cake top, all wrapped up for our first anniversary- that is neatly tucked away in our freezer; we'll see how long it lasts though... Colton wants to save it, but I highly doubt it will still be there on May 3rd of next year, it sitting there calling my name and all... 7:Months later after the wedding - our guests and family are STILL talking about how "out of this world" our wedding cake was... is that even normal??? ---------- Can't recommend them enough! They are dear souls. Every conversation I've ever had with them - I have been lifted up and encouraged in the Lord. Love you guys so much! Senator & Mrs Hailey Ann Moore

And they are so so much better. Soon's Bakery is one of those bakeries - with fun and viral options like the sweet potato bread (mochi-like texture), sweet corn bread and cream donuts, that you wouldn't find at the classic Korean bakeries. I'm also a big fan of their cookies - with my personal favorite, the earl grey. I'm unsure if they still have their brunch menu, but I also really loved their soufflé pancakes. I'm also impressed with their coffee options - much better than the average Korean bakery. Recently tried the matcha cream latte which was pretty much perfect. Creamy iced latte topped with unsweetened matcha cream - perfect pick-me-up. Overall a pretty quiet spot to grab a sweet treat and a coffee in a newly renovated cafe. Definitely recommend if you're in Suwanee!

The cooler on the left has the sandwich's. The rest of the restaurant is just blah. They do have a nice selection of desserts. Health score We did order, but I saw the health score was an 80, I just could not eat the food. So I can't critique it.

A bit underwhelming as you drive up and walk in, but don't let that fool you!! There is a great store attached jam packed with a wide variety of anything you could want from a local Polish market. And, I didn't realize they actually have a deli/lunch offerings! The gentleman behind the counter was nice and very helpful answering questions and providing great guidance on other items we picked up. I can't wait to come back and try all the food they have to offer! BUT ..... I was on a mission for the bakery, and specifically, lots of poppy seed!! They were a little short on fresh goods given it was a Sunday afternoon late in the day but I will return to get my fill. After all this, did I actually buy anything?? YES!! I had a great poppyseed roll and the best rum ball EVER! The rumbas was substantial in size, definite rum flavor comes through, and the texture was so much better than any marble size candy balls places usually try to pass off as a rum ball! I can't wait to go back and continue my edible delights journey at Grand Polish Bakery!!
