Fast service, enough variety. Couldn't order online for 6 cupcakes so had to do it person. Would have preferred being able order ahead and pick up. But tasted good and friends all enjoyed the flavors.

Creme Brulee Cupcake

As delicious as they look! They're usually filled with some sort of crème or filling in the middle that makes the cupcake extra fun to eat. There are so many flavors to choose from I'm sure there's something for everyone in here. On top of that, the woman behind the counter was friendly and not pushy (like some others are). We are inside because it was raining and the interior was surprisingly modern. Only complaint is how weirdly low the chairs are. Not docking points for that though. I highly recommend coming here! -AT

This place is located in the west loop area. The staff were friendly and attentive. They have a wide selection of cupcakes that you can choose from. I decided to go with the butter, scotch and the cream Brulé,. The cream Brulé is ridiculously amazing and I highly recommend. The butterscotch was not as tasty it was a little dry. The prices are decent. There are plenty of tables where you can sit down and enjoy your delicious treats. The decor is nice and fun. They have street parking where you can pay to park. No one informed me of any rewards program when you pay if you ever have you square it shows up as Muslim company and you get an email which can be a little confusing. I hope you enjoy.

This place is amazing! I love cupcakes! They are one of my favorite desserts and having moved from Los Angeles, I've been looking for a great dessert place, and THIS IS IT. I knew I was going to be in the area rather late and that by the time I got there, they might be out of some flavors, so I called in the early afternoon and put my 6 on hold. The lady who answered the phone was very nice and offered for me to pay over the phone or in person when I picked up. After deliberating which to get, I settled on: -peach cobbler: this has vanilla cake with brown sugar strussel, filled with peach cinnamon purée, topped with whipped cream and a sliver of peach. This is hands down the BEST cupcake I have ever had in my life! This thing is just sooooo good! It's no wonder they won cupcake wars with it. Seriously, if you're torn between what to get, just get this. You will be so happily surprised! I love peaches and peach cobbler is one of my favorite pies, but I had no idea a cupcake could be so good. It is balanced so well between fruit sweetness and the creaminess of whipped cream, and yet it is so light. I could eat several of these in a row! It's unlike any cupcake you've had before. -salted butterscotch caramel: wow! This is my second favorite. This has butterscotch pudding inside and salted buttercream frosting and caramel drizzle on top. In general, I'm a fan of butterscotch and caramel, but I love it when the sweetness is cut by salt. I mean- such a perfect rounded out flavor profile. Sweet and salty, you can't go wrong. So, when I read that they had this cupcake, I went for it, and I'm glad I did. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. It was sooo moist and just the perfect sweetness to salt ratio. -cookie dough: this is good, but not my fav. The first cupcake I ever had that had cookie dough inside was in LA at cafe23 and that was amazing. This one, is good, but it's not excellent. Maybe, that's because I had such high expectations of this being my favorite, that I let myself down. That or, their other cupcakes just blew this one out of the water. - crème brûlée: I was pleasantly surprised by this. The staff member working said this was his favorite and I can see why. It's not my favorite, but I get the appeal. Personally, I love crème brûlée. I almost always get it when it's on the menu, and that may be why I liked but didn't love this. I would get it again, if I were hankering for a crème brûlée, but I would get the peach cobbler or the butterscotch everyday. -chocolate decadence: this has chocolate cake, with chocolate moose, topped with chocolate ganache. It is essentially the best chocolate cake you've ever had, except in the shape of a cupcake. If you're craving chocolate, get this and you won't be disappointed. -Samoa: I didn't try this, but my boyfriend enjoyed it. He agreed that of the 6, the peach was the best though.

Their churro cupcake will always hit, its a must have. But my absolute favorite is the crème Brûlée cupcake definitely my favorite!

Happy to see this Molly's cupcake near Fulton Market area. We venture here after our activity. And of course these desserts delivered .

Dropped by here on a whim as I was searching the city for desserts late at night and boy was I surprised at the wealth of creative flavors and options available to me. Only got two but eager to come back and try even more of the flavors! Staff was super nice even though I came in 5 minutes before closing. I ordered the Peach Cobbler and the Creme Brulee. While they are slightly smaller than other boutique cupcakes, the flavors are well-cultivated and refined.

Sweet little cupcake shop right off the L. The ladies working were very kind and patient while we tackled the impossible task of selecting flavors. I went with a dirty chai cupcake and it was decadent.

Happy Birthday Pick

sent some birthday cupcakes on ubereats and the red velvet was a favorite, they looked cute, would recommend to send a sweet treat

Cake Batter, Blueberry Cheesecake, Creme Brulee, Peach Cobbler, The Ron Bennington, Samoa
Elsa G.

By far the best cupcakes I have ever had! Forget about all those other cupcake places in Chicago, they cannot compare to Molly's. I have never had a more soft, moist, or flavorful cupcake. None of the cupcakes were overly sweet. I got 6 different flavors and not one was a disappointment. Here's a breakdown: - Cake Batter: Icing was light, fluffy, and not too sweet like most store bought cupcakes. The center was exactly like cake batter in consistency and taste. - Blueberry cheesecake: Tasted just like a blueberry muffin. - Crème brulee: Somehow it makes you feel as if you are eating crème brulee. Fruit on top is a nice touch to break up the sweetness. - Peach cobbler: The icing on top is basically whipped cream, it is so fluffy and light. Dusted with cinnamon on top and filled with spiced peach, it is sure to bring a smile to your face. - Ron Bennington: Chocolate and peanut butter, how can you go wrong? The icing on top melts in your mouth. Just heavenly. - Samoa: Perhaps the most well known and definitely the crowd favorite. Can't stop thinking about the whipped cream topping with shredded coconut, chocolate drizzle, and gooey caramel center. You can be sure I will be back to try all of the other flavors!

Chocolate decadence cake

I always get Molly's cupcakes and we decided to try a cake for my birthday. My boyfriend forgot to order it 48 hours in advance, but they still accepted our order with some modifications! With everything going on with the pandemic, this was greatly appreciated. We got a chocolate decadence cake and it tastes just like the cupcake. I absolutely loved it! The only downside was the thickness of the frosting. It was about an inch thick, but the cake was rich and moist and the ganache was not overpowering. I'd definitely get another cake from them and I'll continue buying their cupcakes.

I didn't see this note before complaining. Felt like a jerk!

Tonight I ordered delivery through DoorDash and got a bunch of items, including an order for two eclairs. There was no issues with the timing but when the delivery showed up I was disappointed with the fact that (at the time) I thought there was a mistake and they had two cupcakes instead of giving me two eclairs. Sent a note to DoorDash and they credited me $2 and said they would talk to the restaurant. As I was cleaning up tonight I saw what I thought was a receipt in the bag but it was a note explaining what happened and that they ran out of eclairs. Talk about feeling like a complete jerk! I just called the store and profusely apologized. I'm sure they never get any happy callers or positive feedback but in this case I was completely wrong and should've looked through everything before making assumptions. Thank you for great work and service! Molly's has been one of my personal favorites since the early days and the fact they're in the S Loop near me is just awesome!

Molly's never fails! I've ordered Molly's several times from my Birthday cupcake, to quarantine parties, to random drop ins. Molly's has a variety of regular cupcakes, as well as chocolate and vanilla vegan cupcakes. They also have coffee, lates, teas, etc! I'd love to see MORE VEGAN DESSERT OPTIONS from Molly's, but otherwise I have no complaints :)

Wanted something tasty for dessert and came upon this place from IG…read more I ordered the cream soufflé and the matcha float. Both came out in pretty quick time even though it was a busy Saturday evening. Loved the cream soufflé! It was something different that I wanted to try and it wasn't too sweet which was amazing. The soufflé was so fluffy and hot and fresh. The cream inside was sooo good! Everything was well balanced together and the float was also great. Only downside is that it's a really small place. So inside felt very cramped and crowded.

We ended up getting the Matcha smoothie with red beans on the bottom, as well as a matcha float with Ube soft serve. My friend got the Matcha smoothie and said the Matcha was a tad bitter, but also a little too much he said that the Matcha and the ice wasn't really well mixed. Therefore it tasted a bit icy, but he agrees the overall flavor was all right, but he probably wouldn't get that if we came back. On the other hand, my Ube and Matcha float was absolutely delicious. I knew I wanted the Ube soft serve over the Matcha soft serve because I'm very picky with my Matcha, but I also didn't want to get Matcha tea as well as the Matcha soft serve as I figured that would be a little bit too much. I would literally come back just for the Uber officer, it was perfectly sweet, but not overly sweet and the texture was extremely creamy and soft, perfect for a hot day. I'll definitely be coming back just to get that and I also appreciate the server, giving us her favorite combinations and suggestions. It was extremely crowded by the time we left the place literally opened at 11:30, so you know the restaurant has a good reputation already in the community! We will definitely come back!

I recently tried UFOUU, the Chicago-based bakery known for their Japanese-style cheesecakes, and…read moreoverall it was a really a hit for me. I wish I was able to travel with one of their cheesecakes but they require refrigeration. Anyhow the cheesecake itself was delicious super light, fluffy, and honestly felt like biting into a cloud. I had the salted egg but they had several flavor options that I would've loved to try if slices were available. The texture is what really stands out, and the flavor was unique and interesting in a good way. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it taste like, but it was sweet, but not too sweet They only sale but I consider a personal size but it's definitely enough to share with two people, maybe even three depending on how much of a sweet tooth you have. My only downside like others is the price. Paying around $19-$20 for a small cheesecake felt a bit steep, especially since they don't offer slices. I really wish they had smaller portions available so you could try different flavors without committing to a full cake prize. They package it very well and they also serve you a cute little fork set and a knife for cutting which I think is contributes to the price. The shop itself is very cute with chic décor and a lot of Asian-inspired artwork, which adds to the overall vibe. Customer service was friendly. When I visit Chicago again I'd definitely go back the texture and taste alone make it worth it but I do hope they consider offering smaller portions in the future.

One thing I personally did not like was that they require customers to pay first before the food comes out. For a sit-down restaurant, I prefer to eat first and pay after, especially when service is expected. The service was not very proactive during our visit.

Finally, the broth of the Sichuan noodles was packing with flavor: sweet, tangy, spicy, umami - truly hit all the spots without being too numbing to your mouth, if thats one of your concerns Would definitely return to try the other menu items, especially their hot sizzling plates and their dessert/drink offerings
