Let's be honest Magnolia bakery has become way too overhyped. Little Cupcake Bakeshop real star when it comes to NY cupcakes. They have a wide variety of super unique flavor combos like Snowball, Gingerbread and Brooklyn Black out. Counter staff is friendly and service is quick. Like everything in NY it's on the expensive side with cupcakes ranging from $4-$5. They also don't seem to price by 1/2 dozen or dozen so it means if you want a dozen you're paying at least $50. They do mean it when they say little. The space is pretty small and the tables even smaller. But still a nice place to sit and enjoy a sweet treat. read more

Maybe I came on a bad day but half the sweets we ordered we extremely dry and lacked flavor. We ordered the vegan strawberry cupcake- 3, dry and couldn't taste the actual cupcake itself. coconut slice cake- 4, it was really moist! The carrot cake was really good! But then we ordered this banana blueberry loaf- we had to take a few bites bc we tasted nothing! Again maybe it was a bad day but not sure if I'd come back here. It was busy for a Thursday evening at this location and the only girl behind the counter looked frustrated. Again, we'll see! read more

Stopped in to get a cake for a party of 20. A good variety of bakery items. The top flavor is the Brooklyn blackout - tried the cupcake which was dry and did not live up to the hype. Got the strawberry shortcake ($80) 2 layers which was very moist and delicious. Had leftovers for several more portions. Like other reviews, I would recommend getting a slice of cake over the cupcake. Had the pumpkin spice latte $7 which was A-OK. Mild flavor. Service is quick. Cutely decorated, a couple of tables. For large groups, may be better to get your items to-go. Street parking can be challenging due to a busy area. read more

I've been coming here since I was younger, so I was excited to try it again! I love the decor and design of the shop--it's absolutely adorable. I usually go for the banana pudding, but this time I decided to mix it up and try cupcakes. I ordered the vanilla cupcake with chocolate frosting and the it was with gluten-free or vegan banana chocolate chip cupcake with frosting. The cupcakes looked beautiful! The vanilla cupcake was okay--the cake was a bit dry and slightly overbaked on top, so overall it was just average, especially for the price. The banana chocolate chip cupcake was much better, and I really enjoyed it. The frosting was good, though personally I didn't think it paired perfectly with the cupcake. One small thing: they put the cupcakes in a bag instead of a box, which I prefer. Overall, this place is worth a visit! I'd recommend trying a cupcake (maybe a different flavor next time) and the banana pudding. read more

If zero stars were an option, that's what I would give this place. From the moment I walked in, the customer service was terrible. I wasn't greeted, and when I asked for a cupcake, the employee behind the counter responded with a noticeable attitude. When it came time to pay, I tapped my card and the employee simply walked away without saying a word. No receipt. No thank you. No acknowledgment. Just walked away and left me standing there. There's also an extra charge for paying by credit card, which would be easier to overlook if the actual service were remotely welcoming. And then there's the cupcake itself: dry, with icing that had already crusted over and cracked. At 10 a.m., that is not what I would consider fresh. For something so mediocre, the attitude and lack of basic customer service were especially disappointing. I've heard people in the neighborhood raise concerns about BIPOC customers being ignored or treated differently at this establishment. I can't speak to anyone else's experience, but unfortunately, my own experience left me understanding why people might have those concerns. I won't be returning. There are plenty of bakeries where you can spend your money and receive both a fresh product and basic courtesy. Save yourself the disappointment and go to the Korean bakery on 86th instead. Friendly service, clean environment, and genuinely fresh baked goods that aren't overloaded with sugar. That's what a bakery experience should be. read more

I don't think I've ever been treated more rudely by a staff person in a store. I will never go back inside this store.

Got to try the chocolate cake! My friend picked this up in advance to celebrate a birthday and was able to customize the cake. It was yummy without being overly dense and was beautifully decorated and packaged well. It was dryer than I expected and the cake had a bit of crumble which I actually really enjoyed and offset the frosting well. Overall it's not overwhelmingly sweet and a cute spot. read more

Little Cupcake is a cute neighborhood bakery. From my visits so far, it has never been so busy that I had to wait for long to place and receive my order. The quality of the cupcakes is fine, a bit forgettable even. I love the atmosphere the most and getting a sweet treat after dinner nearby. read more

Little Cupcake Bakeshop is a charming little bakery and coffee spot in Bay Ridge, offering a wide variety of cakes and muffins. I tried their classic chocolate chip cookie and caramel pecan cheesecake--both were fantastic! No complaints at all--delicious and definitely worth the money. The quality was so good, it makes me want to go back and try more from their menu. They do have some seating available, but be aware: you're only allowed to sit for 45 minutes after ordering (they even have a notice about it). The staff seemed fine--nothing stood out, but nothing negative either. Overall, a sweet little spot for dessert lovers! read more

I am a fan of this place and have been for years across their various locations. The thing is, some of their cake slices are dry. I don't doubt the freshness because they do move their product it just is what it is. Certain slices are moist, usually the chocolate but my strawberry shortcake slice was dry. Id still recomend little cupcake bakeshop but be warned at nearly $9 a slice. read more

My man suggested we get some sweets from here. We ordered the raspberry white chocolate cheesecake, gluten free banana cupcake, and black & white cupcake. I was super excited to try the banana cupcake. I don't care that it's gluten free; I was just excited after seeing a random banana pudding cupcake on IG; but that excitement quickly faded away. Maybe because it was 9pm; the cake and frosting was stale and hard. I don't know why they wouldn't use a banana flavored cream, it tastes like the cheesecake frosting often found on red velvet and carrot cakes. If you told me there was no banana in here, I wouldn't be surprised. The cheesecake wasn't bad but there was nothing spectacular about it either. I didn't even try the chocolate cupcake, I gave up at this point because nothing met my expectations. read more

IF you are charging $9 for a single slice of cake at least have the decency for your customers to throw away old cake. Kinda unheard of that this needs to be said.. and this isn't the first time which is why I am here writing a review, the cake was stale and so obviously old, frosting and cake both crumbling off $18 just to throw in the trash... beyond disappointing. read more

We came in here a sweet treat after having brunch somewhere else. I had visited their Soho location a few years ago. I remember enjoying the cake I had so I was excited to visit this location. The store was bright and had a beautiful decor. It had an old school dinner vibe with counter service. They also have a public bathroom available. I didn't visit the facilities so I cannot attest to the cleanliness of it. They serve cupcakes/cakes, other baked treats and coffee. We were greeted immediately upon entry and the staff was very bubbly. They gave a few recommendations. I got the cookie dough cupcake for $5. They charge an extra fee if you pay by credit card but I didn't know that. They told some people but it would have been nice if there was a sign prominently displayed. I would have paid in cash if I had known about the surcharge. For a $5.20 cupcake, I was expecting a lot more. The cake was very tiny and was sloppy in appearance. Like the cupcake had uneven edges and a dent in the frosting. The cake was super dry and the cookie dough in the middle was hard like a brick. The frosting was very sweet and overpowered all the other flavor. I might try another flavor but probably a more basic one for $3.75 as this one was disappointing. read more

Whether you want cupcake or a full slice of cake this bakery can take care of your sweet tooth I opted for the strawberry cake today... it was moist flavorful not too sweet... When you're in the area it's worth a visit read more

5 Stars for their cookies & cream cheesecake! Super soft & flavorful, without being too overwhelming (as some cheesecake does). That's the only item I always get here every time I visit (in the bay ridge or soho location). I have tried their cakes, cupcakes, banana pudding - but that cookies & cream cheesecake is still my most favorite! read more

A great selection of baked goods. The Little Cupcake offers a traditionally quaint bakeshop perfect to enjoy on your own or meet with someone for coffee and dessert or breakfast. The menu consists with a variety of cakes, cookies, cupcakes, cheesecakes, pudding parfaits, muffins, and croissants. The croissants hits the spot and the cake slices can be shared. While I have not tried the entire menu yet, I look forward to returning the next time I have a craving. The Little Cupcake has now become one of my top five go to sweet spots in the Bay Ridge / Fort Hamilton area. *service is friendly, store is clean, and seating area is comfortable. Menu items range from $3 to $9/$10. Relevant Views is a service of Alternative & Supplemental Solutions and Fatima Partners, LLC. Contact us at calendly.com/relevantviews. read more

Fast service. When it comes to cupcakes, I like to try anything new. Here's what we ordered: - Good Humor Strawberry - Brooklyn Blackout - 7 layers - Black & White This is the 2nd time visiting in the span of two months. The cupcakes are consistent and delicious each time. Can't wait to come back and try something else on their menu. There are 3 locations: 2 in BK and 1 in NYC. They do birthday and wedding cakes, as well as office events. read more

A cute cupcake and dessert shop. Got a red velvet cupcake ($3.5), walnut brownie $3.50), and ice chai latte with almond milk ($4.75). The cupcake was alright but for the size that it is I feel like I could have gotten a bigger for that price in the city. The chai latte was good. There are 4-5 tables for anyone who would like to sit. read more

I have been coming here since they opened a few years ago. They have an interesting assortment of cupcakes, pastries, brownies, s'mores, teas, coffee, etc. They have a good selection of what appears to be all home made products. They do have gluten free options. Everything is good, appears to be fresh and they are a popular spot in the neighborhood. The shop does not inside dining since COVID so your only option is take out. It use to be a nice place to sit inside or outside. Hopefully they will make some adjustments in the future. One observation is I do not see anyone that identifies as the owner or manager. There are many other bakeries in Bay Ridge that have employees that are more outgoing and the managers are there if you want to ask a question. It's a basic business, the employees do their job and are pleasant. There isn't any personalize that makes you want to come back. I'm not saying it's bad it's just an observation and comparison. I would recommend them and would continue to shop there when I'm in the mood for pastries they carry. read more

I came here mainly for their strawberry shortcake cake. Sadly i came here twice and they didn't have it. The staff only told me that the cake is made randomly and they do not know when they will have it. I ended up getting the strawberry shortcake cupcake instead. The cupcake was so delicious. The crumbly on top tasted just like the good humor strawberry shortcake ice cream. I really enjoyed it. But the second time I got it the batter wasn't fully mixed. Half of the cupcake was yellow instead of pink. I had tried a few of their other cupcakes but they were just mediocre and more toward the sweet sweet side. If you want something fun you can get the blue velvet (it turns your tongue blue). I also tried their banana pudding. The cream was light and it had good flavors but it was a little too sweet and the sliced banana in the middle was brownish/black. 5 star for their strawberry shortcake cupcake but 3 star overall for everything else. Hopefully next time I come they have the cake! read more

I made a quick stop here with some friends after pizza and was not disappointed with this corner bakery. I ended up getting a chocolate chip brownie square, which was not too sweet yet still was really satisfying. My friends got the cupcakes and they both said they enjoyed it thoroughly.

We went into Little cupcake and were immediately greeted. We then asked what can I get you. I asked if they could recommend a cupcake to try. Both of the servers gave a personal preference. I also ordered an iced latte with a drizzle of chocolate syrup. The cupcake was very fresh and delicious and the latte was perfect. So happy to stop in a grab a quick treat! If you are in Bay Ridge you should stop in. It is my "Happy Place". It brings a smile to my heart. read more

Door dashed some sweets on a cold night in. Weirdly it took almost 2 hours for the desserts to arrive and when it did I wasn't really impressed. The cupcakes were too sweet for my liking but I nibbled on the carrot cake cupcake. The Oreo cheesecake was a pleasant surprise ! It wasn't too sweet. Good size and it has a Oreo crumble base that was just wonderful. Would order again just for the otero cheesecake ! read more

Surprised by the overall subpar ratings: my wife and I really like this place! The inside is very cute, not big but enough space for about 10 tables (each for two). The selection of cupcakes and desserts is impressive. The vegan chocolate cupcake is very rich (ideal with some mon-dairy milk or maybe coffee). The red velvet was excellent. Servers are all very nice and patient. This place is almost always busy but the line moves well - a testament to their efficiency. This is a great neighborhood spot. read more

Community staple since it came up in bay ridge years ago. I have been to the other two locations. Such a cute place with a nice concept. I love their Illy coffee. I love the Nutella banana cake- I highly recommend this and most often it's sold out by the end of the day. The new hostess cake is also delicious. Another favorite of mine is the pistachio pudding and the red velvet cupcake. That being said I have had cupcakes here that sometimes were to dry or that I disliked. But for the most part pretty consistent, cute , cheers you up walking in. read more

I've been a steady customer since the doors opened in Bay Ridge. I'll put up with an incredible $9.00 price for a SLICE of cake and the every-varying slice sizes, but the blond woman working there at 6:30pm tonight - no more. I cannot continue to patronize a business that would allow someone who is that rude to serve customers. It was literally shocking at how I was treated there. And to think I was a customer for 19 years! read more

Best cupcakes in Brooklyn! So far anyway! Try the blackout one if you're a chocolate lover. Bit pricey at 3,75 minimum per cupcake. Banana pudding is also excellent as is the individual cheesecake.

Ironically, the cupcakes are the worst thing here. They are stale 9 times out of 10. And not just like "a few hours past their prime". We're talking like 2 or 3 days old. You should definitely eat them in the store instead of taking them to go, because you will likely have to ask for a replacement. No real complaints about anything else. The mini cheesecakes are good. The banana and pistachio puddings are good. The full-size cakes (which you can get by the slice) are good. If you go in the morning the croissants (especially the one filled with ham and cheese) are excellent. It's got a cute ambiance, and the people who work there are pretty nice. It's just a shame about the cupcakes. They look so good but then when you bite into them they are dry and hard. You'd be better off making funfetti cupcakes from a box mix at home. read more

Such a sweet spot with delicious desserts and extraordinary employees! Swung by on an unassuming weekend afternoon and stayed for a bit to catch up with an old pal that recommended the place, and she sure was right when she said the shop has some excellent cupcakes. The gracious staff member recommended her favorites as well as the public's, and hello flavor town! The pistachio pudding, the lemon cupcake, oh my! Everything was a chef's kiss. I was amazed the most with their strawberry shortcake; that itself deserves a Michelin star! read more

It's a Bay Ridge institution. First of all, I'm pretty sure this is a nice place for first dates. I never took one here; but by the looks and feel of it, I assume it is.

They have a REALLY STUPID POLICY when it comes to cake orders!! I called last week to put in an order for a full "Dreaming Princess" cake for my Mom's 76th Birthday Wed (honestly I'm not crazy about their desserts everytime I give them a chance, we're disappointed, however my Mom can't have certain things due to her acid reflux & once I brought home some items from this place for her to try, everything made her cough except for this piece of cake, it didn't irritate her acid reflux as much as the other little cupcake bakery items. Plus it's little cupcake's ONLY moist cake that isn't chocolate & that doesn't taste artificial). I called last week to have it made, I was on a business trip when I called & I've explained to the girl on the phone, that I wouldn't be home until Tuesday. I called this morning letting her know I got a surprise late meeting from work sprung on me & wouldn't be home in NYC on time to pay the cash $65 (it's $2 cheaper to pay in cash by the way) $65 for a 7 inch cake is really expensive but I wanted to get it for my Mom, again since this cake seemed to be ok for her to eat. Villabate Alba doesn't even charge THAT much for their large cakes & they're well known more than this place! Anyway I've explained I would DEFINITELY be there to pick it up the next day, can I pay then? She said it was being made & I can do that. It makes sense to pay when picking up, IF someone didn't show they can always use it to cut up slices for their customers, they serve that, right?? I ordered it with NO writing, so they could have definitely used if I were a no show, but I would definitely have been there to get it & pay, Wednesday! Anyway I get a call saying she made a mistake that it was their policy to have the customer pay full price before making it, that I'd have to pay within the next hour in order for them to make it. I've explained again why I wasn't able to & that was basically a crappy policy & I said forget it! So I'm left without the cake I had planned for my Mom's Birthday, they've lost a few customers now since I as well as Family members have gone there many times. They couldn't even make an acception, this review would have gone in a much different direction. What pieces of sh*ts! read more

I love this bakeshop, everything I've tried is amazing. It always tastes fresh and delicious! The bakeshop is also very cutely decorated!

This is my go to spot whenever I want to treat myself. Food: I think I've tried everything here at this point and it's all good. You really can't make a bad choice. The banana Nutella cake is my absolute fav, highly recommend. It is so moist and chocolatey. The mini cheesecakes are also really good. Price: pretty reasonable. We got 2 cupcakes, a brownie, and a small hot chocolate and total was about $16 Service: staff greeted us when we walked in and helped us immediately. Ambience: there's no place to eat in. Likely due to Covid but the display case is obviously enticing and it's a cute shop with pink accents and neon signage. read more
