    Maple bacon cupcake
    Damian P.

    Actually a very different kind of cupcake. To think, a maple based bacon topped cupcake that really works. The maple balances it out to the point of deliciousness and the right balance. I have only seen unusual cupcakes in HGTV but I am so glad that my friend Lupe bought me one of these concoctions. I am amazed that a cupcake can be balanced enough to withstand the flavors. I mean, who would of thought of this? Cupcakes for courage is one of those new age raves but I kind of feel that it will be around for quite some time. I don't mind following them on face book and begin stalking, this is a good stalk, you know the kind that gets you a smile on your face. Can't wait to try their pistachio cupcake for sure. Unfortunately they do not accept credit cards, which of course is kind of why I can't give them a perfect score, due to myself as well as many others, never actually carrying cash, I totally understand that they do not want to pay $ to a credit card company because that falls into their profits. I can totally understand this but for some of us who never carry cash, it can be an inconvenience. But still, I can live with that.

    First of all, Cupcakes for Courage was always lurking around Rush with their cute little food truck... I loved seeing them there after my appointments. Then they moved to Elmhurst- 10 minute walk from the college and I was in heaven. Their cupcakes are amazing! I have probably had over a dozen different cupcakes now and they all have been fresh, moist, and flavorful! The cool things about Cupcakes for Courage is that some of their proceeds go to cancer research. Hands down one of my favorite cupcake places to date.

    Delicious donut!

    Stopped in for a quick breakfast on our way out of town. We appreciated the fast counter service, good pricing, and good tasting food. I had the huevos rancheros and tried the pancakes. You are not going to get the meal of your life here but expect good value. Now, the chocolate ganache donut is another story.... Don't care what it cost because it was delicious!

    Foreign matter in cupcake that appears to be a nut shell.

    I have had many good cupcakes in the past from Cupcakes for Courage. They make a pretty decent gluten-free cupcake. On another day, they would be deserving of a 4 or 5-star rating. Unfortunately, my most recent experience was not so pleasant. I had a piece of what appears to be a pistachio shell that was in the cupcake. I don't know if it was in the frosting or baked into the cake since I eat all cupcakes as they were intended to be eaten - both the cake and frosting are consumed at the same time. And, unfortunately, the cupcake itself tasted nothing like the flavor that was advertised.

    Cupcakes for Courage now has a store front at 108 W. Park in Elmhurst....woooo hooo! It is super cute with green/white decor and lighting enclosed in wire baskets. Cases filled with cupcakes, donuts, muffins and croissants! What's not to like?! Plenty of seating for dine in coffee and cupcake eaters. Fancy shmancy take out containers for cupcakes on the go! Tried the pink velvet today. The cream cheese frosting is delightful and the cupcake is super moist. Wanted to try the key lime pie cupcake too, but I can only eat so many cupcakes at a time...

    Food Truck

    I just came from the cupcakes for courage food truck. One word: DELICIOUS. I'm a huge fan of pistachio and luckily, they had a pistachio cupcake! The flavor its amazing. Very sweet. The lady was also VERY nice. She gave me their punch card and was very warm. I'm not a huge fan of cupcakes but this is just GOOD. They also give their proceeds to the cause: non-Hodgkins T-cell Lymphoma! The truck was located right outside of 35 W. Wacker on Wednesday at 2:30pm.

    Right on time! Follow them on twitter for location updates

    Sweet treats with a great mission for their business? What's not to like? Oh ya, they are semi-famous because they have been on reality TV. I recently signed up for their emails (dangerous move) and was emailed weekly with flavors and truck locations. When my husband wanted to go to lunch near one of their locations, I quickly checked the flavored and decided that cupcakes HAD to happen today. On top of that, they had a Yelp Deal ($5 for $10 of cupcakes). Not only were cupcakes going to happen, but $10 of cupcakes! The truck arrived right on schedule and they took the time to explain what was in each cupcake. Our choices: -Vanilla Bean- very good, specks of vanilla, moist cake -Pink Velvet- cake portion didn't have much of the "red velvet" taste, but the cream cheese frosting was pretty good. Sprinkles is the only red velvet I go gaga over, so I didn't expect to fall in love with this flavor. The "pink" supports breast cancer! -Turtle- chocolate with homemade caramel & chocolate buttercream with chopped pecans. I normally don't like chocolate cake, but this flavor combo surprised me. Delish! -Gluten Free Lime in the coconut- Hands down the best GF cupcakes I have ever had! This was my favorite of the four and I would go back especially for this flavor. I loved the tart-sweet flavor combo and it was filled with homemade lime curd. A great unique flavor that they pull off perfectly! Get the yelp deal...follow that truck...eat the cupcakes...or 4.

    Cupcakes are consistently good :-) they really need to open a Chicago location. I like that the van goes to several. Different places.

    This was an overall amazing café. We came here back in May. There were so many great-looking…read moreoptions on the menu that it took us a while to finally decide on the Southwest Breakfast Bowl and the Butterscotch S'mores Pancakes. Both dishes were flavorful and delicious. I was absolutely in love with the pancakes! They were gigantic, beautifully presented, and incredibly rich and satisfying. We were both very happy with our food. Our coffees, however, were just okay and not particularly memorable. The only downside, and the reason I'm taking off 1 star, was my bad experience with their seating policy. I had planned to stay for a while on a weekend to finish my coffee and get some work done. However, because the café was busy and completely full, a waitress politely came to my table and asked me to leave while I was in the middle of working. I understand that restaurants need to accommodate waiting customers, especially during busy hours, but I was still disappointed by the experience. I rarely have been asked to leave a café or coffee shop while I was in the middle of working. Because of this, I would probably choose another café in the future when I'm looking for a place where I can comfortably work for a while. That said, the food was fantastic, and I'd recommend coming here for the pancakes alone.

    I wanted to write a review of how delicious everything was…read more Our server was amazing and everything was perfect. Just the gf and I and place gets packed quick, I think we got there around 9:45am. New breakfast spot close to home! Big shoutout from someone who works in food, everything was on point from the pancakes to biscuits and gravy to the salmon lox. Yummy!
