Cute place from the outside and welcoming staff on the inside... but the love affair ended shortly thereafter.
We had just finished tacos next door and decided to garb a couple cupcakes to enjoy at our condo around the corner since we have walked by Kuchen Cupcakes many times this trip and other trips to Playa Del Carmen.
From the storefront window it was colorful and cute and the menu board in the doorway was enticing. The selection was not extreme but I don't really need a million choices so I was happy with the limited selection.
My wife ordered the CARROT CAKE CUPCAKE... it was cute and once we told the girl it was to go so we eat later that night, she packaged it into a cup with lid. I ordered a TRES LECHE something.... it too was packaged but I wish the girl would've told me it was served sitting in a cup with milk (possibly evaporated milk).
I really wanted it for that night in the condo but I ended up eating on the walk back because I didn't want it turning to a wet bowl of mush. That was one problem but it also wasn't great tasting... I think my wife can make a better Tres Leche anything anytime.
I will say the CARROT CAKE CUPCAKE was better but not amazing.
I'm not back in Playa Del Carmen too often anymore, but I don't think it's one of the places I'd ever return to... with that said, I will say the place was clean and the staff (2 people) were quite friendly. read more
