    Red Velvet, Chocolate Pistachio, Bunny Love, Chocolate Salted Caramel, Vegan Chocolate
    Kyra K.

    Birthdays always call for a sweet treat! I've never been fond of cake, even as a kid. Growing up, I'd always request cupcakes for my birthday. For my birthday this year, I was in the mood for a good vegan cupcake. Yelp lead us here to Love at First Bite! The cupcakery is quaint, small, and cute. You can order online or in person. Cupcakes are on display for customers ranging in traditional flavors as well as specialty, gluten-free, and vegan options. Service by the workers was efficient and helpful. They even have dog cupcakes too! I chose the Vegan Chocolate Cupcake. It was moist, and rich, and you couldn't even tell it was vegan. I highly recommend it! My friends and family had their cupcakes which everyone seemed to enjoy. It's a nice size for the price and good quality too! For those cupcake lovers in the area, I recommend visiting Love At First Bite. They're able to cater to different dietary restrictions allowing everyone to enjoy a little sweet treat! Looking forward to coming back when those cravings hit. Find them off Vine Street with street parking around.

    Ordered some cupcakes for a staff Halloween lunch. Woah! I'm not a huge cupcake person, but I am now! The flavors were absolutely divine! Red velvet, chocolate, vanilla, banana nut, cookies and cream, etc. Each cupcake was perfectly moist and not dried out, like some places tend to be. The designs were adorable as well. Best of all - it was fun to try out the flavors but not feel guilty for indulging, as these were the mini sized cupcakes. So we were all able to satisfy our sweet tooth's within reason. I look forward to ordering from here once again!

    The cupcakes were ok. Definitely super sweet. It was cool to try them out, but, they're not really my kind of jam!

    key lime, salted caramel chocolate, pistachio chocolate
    Amy T.

    First time here and greeted with a friendly and very patient staff close to closing. Red velvet, Bunny Love and Salted Caramel are the popular flavors here and the first two were sold out by the time I got there. I tried the key lime which was my favorite, strong lime flavor. It was quite sweet and a bit tart. It has a yellow cake bottom I think with a graham cracker crust.I bought the salted caramel and pistachio chocolate as well but didn't get to try the salted caramel since I gave it away :( The pistachio cream has a really strong pistachio flavor, almost tastes like the way almond does as a flavor. The chocolate bottom is subtly chocolate and felt separated from the cream top. I think this is the cupcake that would taste better if eaten with the cupcake hack like a sandwich. All flavors that I tried are strong here. Cake is soft. They have so many flavors, I look forward to returning and trying the others.

    Gender reveal cake
    Natalie P.

    I've gone here through the years and have always had really good experiences. It's been my go to spot for birthday gift cupcakes and a few birthday cakes. I just recently purchased my gender reveal cake here and they did a fantastic job. It came out beautifully and everyone commented how perfect it was. The process was also easy and they were very responsive as far as getting things set up. The cupcake flavors are fun and consistent. I like the frosting they use- both the texture and the amount of it.

    Get back, six pack, get back!

    Get the day old six packs for $15 and don't forget to tip! Warm cozy lil shop. Fast friendly service. Fresh and moist. Generous with the frosting. Vanilla tasted a little like cornbread which was a nice surprise. These cupcakes could cure cancer. This ain't generic Betty Crocker or chemical laden Safeway! Always a good day when you stop in here! Seriously, Love At First Bite takes the cake...

    Cupcakes order
    Sydney J.

    I went to an event recently that did a big order of cupcakes from Love at First Bite. They offer lots of fun flavors including but not limited to lavender earl grey, orange creamsicle, carrot pecan, lemon pistachio, passionfruit, coconut passionfruit, key lime pie, and strawberry, as well as gluten free and vegan versions of cupcakes. They were all very cute with nicely swirled frosting on top and things like sprinkles, a nut, or an Oreo piece on top. I ended up eating a lemon pistachio cupcake, which I liked a lot since I enjoy things like lemon poppyseed muffins and I feel like the cupcake portion of it doesn't taste too cake-y (I do not personally like the spongey part of cake), but the frosting was sweet and did taste pistachio-flavored. I would've liked if they had included even more pistachio pieces on top. A good option if you want to get a variety of cupcakes with fun flavors!

    Mini cupcakes variety
    Julissa J.

    I've got a sweet tooth & this place hit the spot. This is a small but cute bakery , they had a variety of candles & birthday hats etc. The ladies working the front were friendly & gave me their suggestions. They had plenty of choices & I couldn't decide but luckily, they had a variety pack of day old mini cupcakes, a dozen for $15 & that was a deal for me! These cupcakes were moist & flavorful which says a lot for it being a day old. I enjoyed all the flavors & I'll definitely be back for the full sized ones + the cake pops that they recommended. Highly suggest you stop by for a sweet treat if you're around the area!

    Had to have their last vanilla cupcake.

    See all

I had there ham and cheese turnover and a pecan sticky bun one time I stopped by and then I had the ham and cheese turnover again with a slice of there apple harvest cake. One that ham and cheese turnover is the star of the show. Crust is so buttery and me being the savory queen that I am it is just so good.

She had picked up half a dozen of the vegan chocolate chip cookies from this place. I tried one very skeptically. And was completely blown away as to how good the cookie was. By virtual of being vegan, there is no butter, so I'm completely perplexed as to how they are able to get the cookie to come out. But it taste fantastic. Not too overly sweet. And pretty much taste like a normal cookie. After that experience, I went down a month later and got a couple of my own from the bake shop itself. The place is well decorated and homie. I'll be back!

They also have a small parking lot exclusively for customers which I just found out after my umpteenth visit. LOL! I purchased the Crème Brûlée cupcake for a friend who reviewed the crème brûlée topping as "not too sweet" and noted that the sugar still had a bit of crisp to it. The frosting on the Lemon Blackberry cupcake is sooooo delicious, but I was disappointed but the innards due to an absence of any blackberry filling. And then when I got to the BOTTOM of the cupcake, I found a flattened blackberry in the center. I suppose they get an A for effort on that one... As for the Key Lime Pie and Vanilla Salted Caramel cupcakes, I've had them multiple times before and they're so tasty. They're really good at what they do here. Unfortunately, if you don't get there early, you won't get to grab any of the limited/exclusive flavors they sometimes have; I missed out on the latest Banana Pudding cupcake and it still keeps me up at night... Ultimately, I don't have the heart to rate any less than 5 stars. Their cupcakes are so delicious, soft, and moist every time. One of my dessert pet peeves is dry cake--I can't stand a dry or underdressed cake. Cupcakin' makes sure I don't have to suffer.

I walked in as soon as they opened, and secured my favorite flavors, and a new one. First, the Dubai Chocolate cupcake is prepared perfectly. The pistachio cream inside of a rich chocolate cupcake, with a combination of pistachio and chocolate on top with candied pistachios to finish it off. Every bite is heavenly! I also tried the Lemon Blackberry cupcake, which is a flavor of the month. I love new and exciting flavors, this one was pretty good. I would've preferred a lemon blueberry (which I would love to see on the menu regularly) but this was good nonetheless. Another favorite is the Chocolate Salted Caramel cupcake. The salted caramel is well pronounced and compliments the light, airy chocolate cupcake. I highly recommend what I believe is the "BEST CUPCAKES IN AMERICA"!!
