My coworkers are from out of town & since I'm the "San Francisco Treat" I had to treat them, lol. The minis were perfect & so fresh. It's also right across the street from work, which can be dangerous. I'm SO glad we only come to work quarterly! They loved them! We'll be back next quarter. read more

Bought a few cupcakes from here and they're easily one of the best cupcakes in the bay area. I went to their east bay location first and was delighted when they opened a location here in SF a few years back. The cupcake is fresh and moist and not dense while the frosting is not too sweet and balances the treat out. My favorite is the salted caramel and key lime. read more

Yum, I come here for a sweet treat or when I need to get dairy free cupcakes. It's a tad pricey but I don't mind getting the day old cupcakes for a cheaper price. UCSF employees also get a 10% discount. The employees make great recs if you don't know what you wanna get. My top favorite are Key Lime Pie and Banana Pudding. Both taste amazing!! Other okay flavors have been red velvet, cookies n cream, and carrot cake. Nothing has been bad and the dairy free ones are really good. Just too bad if you're allergic to almonds cause there's some of that in the df cupcakes. read more

Craving something sweet before the game. Saw the balloons out front and went in to check them out. The employee behind the counter was so nice. They offer several varieties of cupcakes including gluten free and vegan. We decided on two key lime pie cupcakes, the cookies and cream cupcake, and the carrot cake cupcake. They were all so moist and delicious. The standout cupcake was the key lime pie flavor. There was a graham cracker crust at the bottom and the center had key lime pie filling. It was decadent and delicious. Both my husband and I enjoyed these very much. read more

So happy to see that Cupcakin has a location right outside the Chase Center! While it was my first time visiting this location, they are by far my favorite cupcakes in the Bay Area! Surprisingly they still had a nice selection to choose from towards the end of the day. Service was fast and my treats were delicious. read more

Such a cute place to get a sweet treat! I got a couple of mini cupcakes here for my birthday, the red velvet and the lemon blackberry. I loved them both! The lemon blackberry had the right amount of tartness, and I loved the cream cheese frosting of the red velvet. Perfectly bite sized, would definitely come here for another celebratory treat! read more

I'm glad to have caught this cupcake shop before leaving San Francisco. They close at 6:00 PM! It's a cute small shop inside the Chase Center. There's plenty of parking around the Chase Center today, and you can also park from the garage. There's plenty of cupcakes you can choose from, and you can also try mini cupcakes as well if you don't feel like feasting on a normal size. It's decorated nicely. Some of them have sprinkles and a few of them have flowers. The lady who works in this shop is very nice. She kindly explained what flavors are available to me. I got the vanilla cupcake. The frosting was fantastic. I think the base of the cupcake could have been more cooked. It is a preference of mine so the cake itself doesn't stick onto the wrap. I'll come by to try the chocolate flavor next time! read more

Cupcakin Bake Shop makes the most decadent and delicious cupcakes ever! They have the perfect amount of sweetness in every bite and always moist and never dry. So many unique flavors from Hostess chocolate to lemon cream pie flavors. Great customer service, rewards system, and cute ambiance! I will definitely come back for more cupcakes! read more

Cupcakin Bake Shop - Hostess Cupcake...absolutely the best cupcake flavor ever!! - Cupcakes Near Me - San Francisco, California

I love the cupcakes here! They're honestly the best cupcakes I've ever had in the Bay Area and in general. The cake is moist and the frosting has a perfectly balanced sweetness. Service is also usually quick and friendly. There's little to no line if you get there before the game ends. read more

Tasty and cute cupcakes at the Chase Center! Went on a Wednesday late afternoon and there was no line. Got both a key lime pie and Oreo cupcakes. The bigger ones were $5.25 each and the mini ones were $2.25 each. Enjoyed both... preferred the key lime pie because it was not too tarty and well-balanced. The Oreo one was not too sweet! I usually like my chocolate on the sweeter side. Overall, pretty expensive for one cupcake but that seemed to be the new norm! Probably will stop by again if I was craving a cupcake nearby. read more

I absolutely love cupcakes from here and prefer it to most cakes! The cake itself is perfectly spongy, and I love the flavor offerings, with red velvet and coffee being my favorite. The buttercream is very heavy on the butter, and that tends to put me off a bit but i just eat as much as I can. The staff here is super kind and helpful. I love how this location is located next to the Chase Center. Makes for a yummy pre-game snack or post-dinner dessert! read more

unfortunately the person in front of me got the last key lime liked the lemon cream slightly better than the carrot since it has lemon curd filling and a graham cracker crust. the one worker was very patient with questions (and he missed watching usa vs paraguay bc he was working ) . no seating inside so plan to eat elsewhere read more

I had another excellent experience with a Too Good to Go bag, as the wonderful staff Aa'Qyra remembered that I had a nut allergy, without me even saying anything, and made sure I got a box without nuts. The cupcakes were delicious as always and the holiday decorations were elegant and welcoming. Thank you, Aa'Qyra! read more

Many different flavors to choose from! They have regular size or mini cupcakes. I would recommend going for the regular size since the mini ones are literally one bite. My favorite that I tried is the key lime flavor one. This is a unique flavor that I haven't seen elsewhere and has the perfect balance of tartness with sweetness. The other cupcakes were all great choices. Every one of them was frosted nicely. I would say this is a great option to go for a quick dessert if youre around the Chase center but I don't know if I would go out of the way to get some. read more

Key Lime Pie Cupcake comes with a graham cracker bottom!? It's a must try. I didn't go by the shop so I don't know what the ambiance is like, however, I know these cupcakes by taste! They have mini cup cakes which are small but not anything less than a regular size cupcake. They are not overly sweet! And buttery and cakey cake. They have a lot of great flavors and so far I haven't had one that I didn't like. I figured out this is the same business my job orders from in oakland. We've ordered only the minis for our job (great idea for your staff if you have a business) but they have been unforgettable. read more

A quick, sweet stop in Thrive City. Their selection is small but mighty because the cupcakes are delicious. You can stop in for a cupcake and share it with a friend along the water OR eat it yourself, guilt free and without regrets. read more

This is hands down the best cupcake I've ever had. I am not a stranger to cupcakes. I know them well. I know them like a man knows his vehicle. Like a man knows his shoes. This is not coming from someone who eats cupcakes once in a while. The flavors are spot on. The details like the small Graham Cracker crust, moistness of the cake and the supple creamy cream cheese frosting will take you through neural pathways to memories from your childhood when foods were made with the real da real. This place deserves your attention at once. Go. Now. This place is ELITE read more

Cupcakin' is hands down the best cupcake I've ever had. The cupcake was incredibly fresh and moist, and you could actually taste the quality of the ingredients in every bite. Nothing about it tasted artificial or overly sugary like a lot of bakeries -- it was perfectly balanced and clearly made with care. If you like cupcakes, this place is a must try. It completely exceeded my expectations and I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Great spot for cupcakes - went right before they closed and still have a great variety of cupcakes to choose from. Pickup was easy and service was friendly. We ended up getting one of everything they had and everyone was pleasured with the moistness of the cupcakes and frosting to cake ratio. We will definitely be back if we are in the area again. read more

I haven't had this place in over 4-5 years and it's just as good as I remember it!!! The sea salt chocolate caramel is just heavenly, incredibly incredibly moist cake and sweet and creamy frosting. This location has few hours and I hear they sell out quickly. I had an overnight order for a work event so it was all easy peasy. read more

Came here today after I've gotten off work to pickup a box of cupcakes. The staff was super nice and I chose a box of cupcake that had a carrot cupcake in it. I've tried the oreo, red velvet and a keylime so far, it was delicious! The cupcakes are definitely moist and flavorful! Definitely recommend if you're craving some yummy dessert~ read more

I came in on a weekend. A co worker told me about this place. Cupcakes taste real good. Service is great. Placed in a good area at chase center. read more

I discovered this shop using the Too Good To Go app, scoring an incredible variety of large cupcakes for only $11 and was hooked. I stopped in recently to treat myself since I was in the neighborhood and was greeting by August. I chatted for a while with them getting details of the various flavors I had tried only once and excited to eat again but had a hard time trying to decide which ones to pick. Being a chatterbox with 20 years of customer service experience, I easily identify employees who have a natural ability to connect with customers and make the interaction feel less like a transaction and more like catching up with a friend. August is that employee and a pure delight be served by. Interactions like these will definitely keep me coming back, as if the key lime cupcakes weren't enough!! Shout out to Key Lime & Lemon flavors!!!!!!!!! read more

I took a chance on Cupcakin on DoorDash since my sweet tooth was callin'! I was looking for some cupcakes when Cupcakin' Bake Shop popped up with good reviews. I'm so glad I ordered from them because one bite into the Red Velvet cupcake and I was in sweet tooth heaven! It wasn't overly sweet, good enough to satisfy your sweet cravings, creamy cream cheese and doesnt make you feel full or icky afterwards. I also ordered the carrot, cookies & cream & key lime pie! Cant wait to try the rest later. Give Cupcakin Bake shop a try! read more

These are some of the best cupcakes I've had. They were really moist and full of flavor. We tried the crème brûlée, chocolate salted caramel, key lime, and passion fruit, and all of them were good in their own way. I'd definitely come back to try more flavors. Customer service was also excellent and made the experience even better. read more

Love the cupcakes and the dot cake... we always love to stop in for a snack before a game.. staff is friendly

Came here a little after opening on a Sat only to be told they did not have any cupcakes baked fresh that morning and wouldn't be getting any. Only day olds and 2 day olds. What kind of bakery doesn't provide any fresh baked goods? I didn't have time to run around and needed several for a birthday party. Had I known they wouldn't be fresh, I would've gone elsewhere. I bought the day olds at a minimal discount. Half were dry and half were good. How embarrassing. And Not worth it. Call before to check. Although if some were already dry after only a day, I suspect they wouldn't be that great fresh either. read more

Yum I got two today, and going to eat both of them. You should have T-shirts and cute reusable bags. read more

Stopped by this spot after the Sunday farmers market in thrive city. We actually got one 2 day old and one one day old cupcake due to the flavor choices. The cupcakes were still really moist even after a day old. The staff was nice and told us to take out time. It was only staffed by one person and looks like they truck in the items since no spot for. A kitchen in this kiosk style building but they had a nice big moving tray container for their stock. Guessing they will only really have 1 person here unless they know an event is happening and need more. Honestly the area is not that busy on a non event day. They had a couple of concert special cupcakes and they were really good. Price wise it's not bad especially for the day olds but they are reasonable enough for the quality and location. If looking for something sweet pre or post game this would be a good spot to stop. read more

So glad I got to try this, they were open later on a warriors game night! The key lime cupcake is sooo good! The graham cracker crust and key lime filling, cream on top, moist cake, overall perfect balance of flavor and not overly sweet. Definitely the best cup cake I've ever had. Wish I had enough space to eat multiple! read more

I decided to come here since i was craving for something sweet. Its cute little cupcake place, right ny chase center. Wasn't sure which flavor of cupcake, cake the worker there which flavor is popular. She mentioned key lime and strawberry were their popular flavors. I decided to get their key lime cupcake. Its very good. Has enough sweetness. It doesn't really have that acidity lime flavor to it. More flaky at the bottom. Its not super big but i feel that for $5.25 is kinda expressive for a cupcake for its size. But i will come again to try their other flavors read more

LOVE THESE CUPCAKES!!! So incredibly fresh and delicious. All kinds of delectable flavors- carrot, red velvet, key lime and caramel are my faves, but my hubby love the Oreo cookie ones! The staff- Gabby- was so lovely and helpful and skilled at packing up our 4 dozen minis as gift to our docs/nursing & professional staff @ UCSF down the street. Don't miss this place if you are anywhere near Chase Center!! read more

I came here because we were watching the Warriors play, and I had no expectations at all! My son and I were blown away by how good these cupcakes were-and just an hour before closing time!! We had the key lime pie and vanilla. Seriously, these were some of the best cupcakes we've ever had-we will definitely be back!! read more

I decided to give Cupcakin a try after hearing some coworkers talk about it. The cupcakes were aesthetically pleasing, with eyecatching colors and variations in their appearence. I'm pleased with the moisture of the cupcakes but had mixed opinions based on each flavor. Cookies & Cream (4.5/5) - perfect sweetness with Oreo that adds to the texture. Bourbon Peach Cobbler (3.5/5) - while delicious, it was very sticky and messy overall. A lot of the actual cake was stuck to the paper compared to the other 3 for some reason. Strawberry (3/5) - found this one to be slightly boring. A little strawberry jelly or even a slice of strawberry would have elevated this one a lot. Key Lime Pie (5/5) - definitely the winner. Delicious lime curd that was refreshing. At $5.25 each, these are quite expensive. While I can't see myself visiting frequently, I would probably stop by to pick these up as a mini gift for someone and would encourage you to give it a try. Tip: buy the day-olds for $1 less. I ate 2 of the cupcakes the next day with both retaining ample moisture. read more

I checked online on their website and their door and yelp and it all says open daily from 12-6pm. I arrived today to grab a coworker a birthday treat and it was closed. If they are going to be closed it would be best to update their hours somewhere. Especially with things like cakes, it's used for special occasions and it said online that they don't do pick ups for this location so I was just going to go in and see their flavors of the day. Now is too late to pick up any cakes which is a huge bummer. read more
