I read the polarizing views and needed to try this place myself- I am a cupcake brat and have eaten far too many in my day. The lady behind the counter was very kind and welcoming. She explained all the goods they had to offer and answered any questions we had. We decided to get 6 mini cupcakes: Pros: Creative flavors and every cupcake had a filling. I was very happy with every cupcake I ate. My favorite was definitely the carrot cake or snickers but truly, I was pleased with all the cupcakes I tried. They were not too dry and the filling choices were incredible. Cons: the pricing is ridiculous but maybe it's normal for Boston? $23 for 6 mini cupcakes is absurd to me. read more

Sooo I was taking a little stroll on Newbury Street and decided to act on an impulse, and lo and behold I ended up here. This is such a cute little cupcake shop!!!!!!! My inner girl is screaming. So many aesthetic and unique options. The cupcakes themselves? Average. But the place itself is too cute to pass up. I got myself a mini chocolate shark attack cupcake. read more

I have had these in the past when someone brought them to Philly from Boston. These cupcakes are insanely good. Went for the first time this week and was blown away with the aesthetic of the cupcake shop and the assortment of goods that can be purchased. I ended up getting some cookies and cupcakes and they were all very delicious and filled with flavor. They have buttercream frosting which is a plus and it was very good. The cookies were filled with icing and had great taste. Highly recommend this place if you are stopping by. Prices are excellent too! read more

An after dinner stop on Newbury St lead us to a cute Little Miss Cupcape store. Down a set of stairs you can smell the sugar in the air. A few tables inside and out. The cupcakes were one of the best we've had. I wish we weren't still full from dinner. I'd get a pack of them to go but my scale at home would be angry at me. 1 mini will have to do this time. They also have delicious looking cookies and whoopie pies. Also available are some gluten free choices. read more

It was my daughter's 7th birthday yesterday, and I was on a mission to get her the best cupcakes for her and her friends. After browsing Yelp, I decided to go with Little Miss Cupcape. I opted to take the train, as parking can be a challenge. I placed an order for half a dozen regular cupcakes and four vegan mini cupcakes. I have to admit, the packaging was impressive, which is why I'm giving two stars. However, despite my excitement, I noticed none of the kids ate much beyond the frosting--some only ate the toppings. Later, when there was one regular and one vegan cupcake left, I decided to try them myself. To my dismay, I could barely take a bite. I understood why the kids didn't finish theirs, including my daughter, who normally loves cupcakes. I ended up throwing mine away. The cake tasted like cornbread and was extremely dry. I even apologized to the parents for serving such a disappointing dessert. My husband questioned why I chose this place, and in hindsight, the only appealing aspect was the fancy packaging! Wouldn't be my goto anytime. read more

Update: Let's show what the actual text said not the updated/ever changing version posted below shall we. Note she continues in her response to claim posting a review on yelp is slander. Keep in mind this text came about 30-45 min after her inappropriate behavior on the phone. Also note she claims i am constantly calling her shop when in fact she has been blocked by me bc she called twice then began texting. Per the business owner...posting your experience on yelp is slander. News to me. Know that the owner of this business will say this in order to intimidate you. Sometimes things cannot be made "right". Giving someone their money back or redelivering cupcakes where the recipient would have to be home waiting doesnt fix anything. The experience and moment are done. What i thought i was ordering was 1/2 dozen nice cupcakes for a birthday delivery. What was received was 1/2 dozen cupcakes in july 4th sprinkles for the holiday. 3 days after the holiday bc "that was what was on hand". I called to discuss the issue with the business and was immediately met with justification and defensive language about their website saying it is according to what is on hand and the holiday. This was before they could even find my order. The justification continued once they eventually found my order.. At that point i realized the call was a complete waste of time and became upset. Told them i would be leaving a review of my experience. That was when the person claiming to be the business owner said she would "pray for me". Yep full on said that and I hung up on her. So know if you order around a holiday, regardless of your occasion you are sending them for.. you are going to get themed cupcakes. Lesson learned. Based on the behavior of the owner i would NEVER order cupcakes from her again. Ever. She can pray all she wants for me. read more

We ordered off of Too Good to Go and was able to get 4 cupcakes for $6 which would have been $18 so it was a terrific deal. The cupcake bases were fluffy and semi-sweet and the frosting added a lot more sweetness and flavor to it. Overall, they were pretty high quality and the woman who was working there was so nice and personable and we appreciate her serving us a few minutes before closing. Definitely will be coming back to at least look around their other kinds of cupcakes. It seems like a very fun and cute place! read more

They makes great cupcakes. A friend of mine sent me a TikTok about this place, so we had to try it out. We got an assortment of minis so that we could basically try them all, and that we did. There was no dryness to the cupcakes at all. They were all so flavorful, and we loved that they fill them - even the minis. It's a nice little surprise when you take that first bite. I'll definitely be back to try new/seasonal varieties and their non-cupcake treats. read more

I want to start off by mentioning how adorable this shop is! They have a beautiful patio with umbrellas and flowers, bubbles blowing in the summer and their interior is really cute as well! They have the best packaging I've ever seen- it looks a little cottage with windows which would make for the perfect gift on someone's birthday. The employees were friendly and we really enjoyed the effort they put into little details. We ordered the lemon cupcake as well the Oreo one. Something we did notice that set them aside from other bakeries is that they add filling to their cupcakes. The lemon cupcake was nothing special in my opinion and the frosting in the Oreo cupcake was a tad too sweet. They do have a "little miss cupcake" featured cupcake which I believe is a strawberry flavor so we may return to try that out. Overall, cute decor but average cupcakes. read more

This is such an underrated little Cupcake shop in Newbury! My son absolutely LOVED the cupcake he got last time so much he remember the name of the place when we came back to Newbury Street a couple of weeks later- he remembered the name of the place (and he's only 5 years old) so of course I had to take him back! He got another cupcake (vanilla) and he said it was perfect! It wasn't as sweet as the last one and he liked it much better! I also got the large cookies as I did last time and they were beyond delicious!!!

I came late in the day, and they were completely out of regular size cupcakes. I ended up ordering a buttercream stuffed cookie, which was delicious. The cookie was about the size of a Panera cookie, with some dollops of buttercream on top. The cookie was then filled with buttercream- but it seemed to have been filled/stuffed with buttercream prior to baking. Thus it wasn't a very fluffy/tall cookie- more the average height of a cookie. The buttercream added a sweeter component to the cookie, making it very good. I would go back again, especially to try some of the speciality cupcakes. read more

What makes a good cupcake? Is it the cake-to-frosting ratio? The creativeness of the flavors? The moistness of the cake? Whatever your criteria, Little Miss Cupcape has you covered. With the recent-ish loss of some major cupcake players in the area (Crumb, Sweet, etc.) it was great to see a new entrant on the Boston scene. Even better? Little Miss Cupcake is owned and run by a young female entrepreneur from the Cape. My favorite flavors are the lemon and the coconut. If you're ordering for the office, get dozens of the minis so you can all have your own without feeling guilty or awkwardly splitting cupcakes. Being able to order from Grubhub makes things super convenient, too! Additional amazingness? Excellent gluten-free and vegan options. Little tubs of cookie dough. Frosting shots. Buckeye balls. Cake pops. Cookies. Brownies. And even pies during the holidays! Seriously, go check them out. What's better than treating yourself while supporting a local, woman-owned business? read more

I had noticed that this little store (located where "The Wired Puppy" coffee shop used to be) was going to be opening soon, then I stumbled by it on it the morning of their grand opening! I had been having a really rough morning and was instantly cheered up by the entrance with lots of pretty balloons, then I noticed a sign advertising "free coffee" that day. That clinched it for me so I went inside. The atmosphere is bright and cheery and the women who were working and shopping were all so friendly. The cupcakes are beautiful and there's an array of novelty candies and cute brightly colored stuffed toys on shelves. I decided to buy a couple of full-sized cupcakes (they come in full and mini sizes). I decided on the strawberry and vanilla, and they put them in a super cute box. If I was still a little kid I probably would have saved the box and made a little house out of it for my Fisher-Price little people. Anyway, the cupcakes ended up getting cut four ways and I shared them with a few co-workers that afternoon. The cake part is nice and moist and not sweet, and the frosting is sweet but not overpowering. Everyone thought they were great and made me glad that I bought & shared them. I was given a loyalty punch card, not that I need incentive to go back again. If you ever need a sweet treat (and a coffee to go with it) THIS is the place in the neighborhood. Next time I'll buy more than two. read more

I and the other non-vegans at the party couldn't tell that they were vegan, and our host was delighted to know that there is a bakery nearby that caters to her needs.

In response to Shironda W's (owner of Cupcake Therapy) she needs to take responsibility & update her forms or state the delivery policy under "Terms" on website. I was not aware (not stated on the website) the driver is not allowed to leave delivery with "random people" @ any hospital. When I instructed delivery be left with a specific floor (the cupcakes were for everyone working on that floor), I should have been contacted prior to delivery if a specific name of someone to accept delivery was required (I was not contacted). These cupcakes were not for a patient (certainly would be a very hungry patient) but for the nursing/administrative staff. Number listed on form was general number for Beth Israel Deaconess, yes, but again, if driver asked where Stoneman 5 was there would not be a problem. Again, read the information prior to delivery so driver can have any questions clarified & this problem could have been a non-issue & delivery could have been made on date & time it was promised. Clearly not the fault of the purchaser that there is a flaw in the design/content of the on-line order form. Having my contact number listed only under the billing that driver does not have, not my fault. Very easy to blame the customer (who will NEVER be a repeat customer) instead of taking responsibility for your mistake. Regarding not receiving a voice mail from me. I called when I saw an email (again no phone call) stating deliver was not made. Had you took the time to call me right after notified delivery could not be initiated, perhaps you would have done the right thing and returned that day with cupcakes while they were fresh. I called during business hours in hopes of speaking to a human being but no answer so left a VM. Very easy to put blame on customer & not take responsibility. Certainly makes me appreciate companies that do right when an issues arises. Do better for the next person!!!!!!

This place is cash only, and the service is really straight-to-the-point. I guess they just want people in and out quickly. There's not really anywhere you can sit, so definitely just get what you want and go. The bakery itself is kept very simple and minimal. Sweets are displayed behind the glass, and there are plenty of signs along the wall that display what they have to offer. There were a lot of different goodies, but I noticed that people really only ordered the cannolis. I got a singular chocolate chip cannoli, and I think it really threw the person helping me off that I only got one to try. Pastries are packaged in a nice blue box and securely tied with a long string. The cannoli itself tasted pretty nice, but I wish there were more chocolate chips other than the ones that coated the areas of visible filling. I liked that the shell was crunchy and flaky. I can't say much because this was my first time having a cannoli, so I have no point of comparison. Not sure if I can eat a lot of it in one sitting.

However, after seeing the menu, I'm not surprised why it was so busy. The staff is really friendly and patient, especially as many people would change their orders when they got to the front to order. On a busy day, it can be difficult to see the menu on the wall, and all other menus were near the cashier so made sense that orders were changing. I tried the toffee nut coffee and loved the subtle toffee flavor that added a hint of sweetness without being overpowering. There are many other coffee flavors that I cant wait to come back and try. While I didnt try any pastries this time, there were so many to choose from, and they all looked good. For me, Id likely be more inclined to get one of their many treats if a table is available, which can be tight give the size. However, their coffee is great and a nice place to grab a cup before heading out to explore the surrounding area.

The hot chocolate was absolutely delicious. Rich, creamy, with little bits of chocolate floating in it. It was almost decadent. I was thrilled with joy! The Nutella pop tart was delicious, even though I saved it till today! The crust is flakey and lighter than one might think and the Nutella was still fresh and gooey without being too much. The fellow who served was friendly without being overbearing. I will definitely be back! I can't speak for the coffee, but the hot chocolate and pastry hit the spot.

We ordered a birthday cake from them, and it was perfectly made. The cake itself had multiple, well-defined layers and was impressively tall, providing a really great portion size for the price. The texture and flavor were spot-on, the cream filling and frosting weren't too heavy or overly sweet, so the whole cake still felt light and enjoyable to eat, even with all the rich chocolate inside. Based on this excellent experience, we'll definitely be considering them for their more elaborate custom-shaped cakes in the future for other special occasions. They clearly know their craft.

It was a chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream and chocolate ganache, topped with raspberries. First of all, it was beautiful! My mom ordered a heart shaped cake which was perfect for the holiday. The ganache was shiny and rich, the raspberries on top were perfectly fresh, and when we cut into it, I was blown away by all the layers (the more layers, the more frosting!). I didn't tell any of my friends at first that the cake was gluten-free, and all they had to say was how rich, chocolatey, and moist the layers were. They could not believe it when I told them! My favorite part, though, had to be the buttercream frosting. I consider myself a frosting expert, and this was by far the best I have ever had. I wish I could by cans of this stuff, in bulk. It was unbelievably smooth and just the right amount of sweet, with a real vanilla flavor. The bottom line: whether you're gluten-free or not, Gracie Cakes is the way to go!
