This little hidden gem was such a pleasure to visit. Since my wife and I were out of town, we wanted to try something new since we were craving something sweet. We walked in and were surprised at the many options Molly's offered. Once I saw the display case, I knew we were in trouble. The ladies behind the counter both days were very nice, patient, and friendly. We ordered a 4-pack of cupcakes both days, and my favorite was the peach cobbler cupcake. My wife said it was a tie between the dulce de leche churro and the white chocolate raspberry. I am so glad we were just visiting from out of town because those cupcakes are so delicious, you'll want to return the next day like we did. One of the things we loved most was how delicious the buttercream frosting was--it really melts in your mouth. For so long, I have taken the frosting off cupcakes because it was too sweet and pretty heavy. You won't have that problem with Molly's Cupcakes. read more

Cashed in on a TGTG deal and got to try 5 varied cupcakes. I had bites of a basic chocolate and a strawberry filled vanilla cupcake. Both were excellent! The cake portion itself was very soft and not too sweet. I'm usually not a fan of frosting, but theirs was very good. The cupcakes themselves were beautifully decorated. If paying full price, the cupcakes are a bit small. I'm definitely curious to try their other flavors. It's worth a taste if you are a cupcake aficionado! read more

I can only review what I had to work with and that's 1 cupcake I tried. My first time here, I've seen a lot of people go in and so it seems popular. However, I chose the peach cupcake? Had a compote filling, light cake and a light fluffy whip on top with a slice of peach. I'd give it a 3. The employee told me that I chose "an award winning cupcake" as a first choice... I was expecting a sweeter taste. It had this medium-bitter undertone. I would've loved if it were sweet and had more tartness. Reminds me of a peach that you eat when you get too close to the center? The frosting was nice and light. I think that was nailed. The cake toward the center became a bit dense. I wouldn't buy this one again. I might give it a second shot and order something else for comparison. Super cute shop and very cleanly! The employee was very friendly. read more

I've been here numerous times, and I almost always get the dulce de leche churro or a chocolate/nutella/pb cupcake. I'm never disappointed. All the cupcakes are so pretty, and most of the ones I've tried have a lovely surprise in the middle. The staff is always super friendly and helpful. My kids enjoy the cake pops. read more

Entirely overrated. I got a Ron Bennington cupcake and when eating it, half of it stuck to the cupcake liner. Cake itself was dry and the ganache tasted like ... food additives. The only redeeming part was the peanut butter filling, which tasted pretty much like just a glob of peanut butter out of the jar. Which I'm fine with. Blech. read more

I love the variety here! Most of the cupcakes have some sort of filling in them and there are so many different flavors to choose from. In addition to cupcakes, they have enormous cookies, cake pops, rice crispy treats, as well as some other sweet treats. My husband and I visited with four 8 year old boys and among us, we ate two s'mores cupcakes, a peach cobbler cupcake, a rice crispy treat, a cake pop and a chocolate covered pretzel. Everyone finished their chosen item without a crumb left on their plate. The peach cobbler cupcake was topped with a whipped cream topping that wasn't too sweet. The rice crispy treat was the perfect level of sweet and gooey. We will definitely be back! read more

I'm hovering between a 3 and a 4, but knowing the quality and freshness of the Lincoln Park location, this rounds down to a 3. On a midweek day when I felt like treating myself after some namaste time at Core Power, I moseyed in to try a couple cupcakes. Peach cobbler was a done deal bc it's my tried and true favorite here, with the delicious flavors of vanilla brown sugar cake combined with peach filling and homemade whipped cream. It's lip smacking good and worth the $4.50 price tag. Also, I hear this is the flavor that won Molly's the Cupcake Wars title on Food Network. I wanted something chocolatey for my second pick, so tried the red velvet lava, which has a red velvet cake, dulce filling, and buttercream with chocolate curls on top. This was made the day before at best, and the drying cake was a telltale sign, so that was disappointing. Molly's takes over the corner storefront by Sephora and Macy's that used to be home to Mrs. Field's cookies and TCBY yogurt. In the afternoons, the direct sunlight through the windows makes it quiet warm inside, and the staff has to remove the trays exposed to that angle from the case. I also noticed there's quite the selection of ~10 cookie flavors and a handful of jumbo rice krispies. Lots of drinks to choose from too in the case. Best of luck! read more

I ordered 2 cupcakes on DoorDash and they were buy one get one free. I got the crème brûlée and the peach cobbler. The crème brûlée was my favorite. It has the hard sugar top and the cake was moist. The peach cobbler was just ok. Will definitely be ordering more of the crème brûlée. read more

Molly’s Cupcakes - Creme Brulee Cupcake & Peach Cobbler Cupcake - Cupcakes Near Me - Skokie, Illinois

This is a hard review to write because I love Molly's and have been visiting the Lincoln Park location for years. I was looking forward to this location opening and have visited twice now. The bakery cases always look appealing. They're well stocked with a variety of flavors, both standard and a seasonal rotation. On both visits I've picked four cupcakes spanning everything from cookies and creme to blueberry cheesecake. So why only four stars? This location lacks the charm and warmth of other Molly's locations. The staff aren't quite as friendly and there's nothing about the experience that compares to Lincoln Park. There isn't seating, so it's truly going in to get what you want and leaving, but even taking that into consideration, it all feels transactional in a way that Lincoln Park never has for me - that always feels special. We'll be back - you can't keep me away from Molly's cupcakes, but I do hope the vibes warm up a little before my next visit. read more

Lots of cupcake choices! The staff was very friendly and helpful! She helped me which one is the best! I got the peach cobbler! read more

I was looking for a bakery in the area, and Molly's cupcakes kept coming up as a very popular location. However, I was not a fan of any of the cupcakes that I tried. I really didn't find anything unique about Molly's cupcakes. They are not terrible, but they're not great. however, the staff were really kind and it was in a great location. read more

Oh, this review pains me! Anyone who knows me knows that I will say Molly's Cupcakes are the best cupcakes you'll ever eat! I was super excited that one opened up in the area! I thought... oh no, my waistline isn't going to be happy...haha! Went in on a Tuesday afternoon, and the mall wasn't crowded, and neither was Molly's. The interior is cute, but don't expect the swings and such you see at Lincoln Park and River North locations. It is a way smaller location, so I'm not surprised. The interior colors are cute and fun! Now to the past that pains me. My favorites at Molly's are chocolate decadence, cake batter, and Peach cobbler (which won them Cupcake Wars). During this trip, I ordered 1 chocolate decadence and 1 cake batter. Upon trying them when I got home, I immediately realized that they aren't as moist as the cupcakes at other locations. The cake batter filling didn't have that slightly salty taste and it was thick... nothing oozed out as I cut the cupcake. If this was my first time trying Molly's, I wouldn't think much of it. The cake was dry and the flavor lacked. It is so sad!!! Again, I'm probably Molly's #1 fan, so this is excruciating to write. I'm really hoping that it'll improve with time, and this is just because they've been open for a little shy of a month. I'll probably stick to the locations in the city and come to this one when I'm short on time and really need a cupcake. read more

I haven't had a Molly's Cupcake in forever and when I heard they were going to open one up in Old Orchard, I was ecstatic! Totally forgot about it till now but it's never too late! I really loved the blueberry cheesecake so I got 2 and then I got 3 other flavors that I don't remember trying before - red velvet, peach cobbler, and creme brulee. I really liked the creme brulee and would definitely get that again. The peach cobbler and the red velvet were ok - not my fave but I think that's just a personal preference. I also grabbed a turtle cheesecake because I felt like it. It's only a quarter more than a cupcake. It tasted fine but I probably wouldn't get it again. I also grabbed a birthday gift box for a friend. That had a large cake pop, small cake pop, a rice krispy treat and a brownie for $16.95. My friend reported back to me and said it was delicious. I really loved that they had that gift box option as I was stuck on what to bring her. I would totally come back again for my fave cupcake flavors and to try out other ones. The lady working that day was super nice and helpful. read more

I ordered Molly's Cupcakes through DoorDash when I was having drinks in celebration of my recently deceased uncle. I wanted a dessert that was uplifting and tasty, and that was exactly what I got. First, I ordered the buy one get one free chocolate peanut butter cupcakes. They were moist, perfectly decorated, and gave me exactly what I wanted in terms of flavor. Secondly, I had them surprise me with a random flavor. They gave me Pecan Pie, which I was originally hesitant about. I'm not a big pecan pie fan, and funnily enough, pecan pie was the one flavor I DID NOT want. BUT the cupcake ended up being surprisingly amazing. I loved the whipped topping, the candied pecans, the cake, and the filling. I actually liked the pecan pie flavor the best. That shows this cupcake shop is not one to mess with! They can make you love a flavor you don't usually love! I will definitely be ordering from them again when I travel to the area in the near future. read more

Molly’s Cupcakes - Pecan Pie Cupcake - Cupcakes Near Me - Skokie, Illinois

Molly's is a fun kind of stop, but also quite pricey.  For now, I'll go with 3.49 stars, rounded down to 3.  We were with one of the grand-darlings on her school holiday, so we came in mainly to spoil her, and after all that is our primary function in life right now.   We picked up a chocolate covered pretzel stick for $2.25 and a couple cupcakes for $4.50 each (a white chocolate raspberry and a blueberry cheesecake).  She really enjoyed the pretzel stick and I presume the cupcakes (consumed later) were at least decent.  (It was subsequently reported to me that the grand-darlings inhaled them, and they were of decent freshness though still a tad dry). They did have a good inventory of some delightfully flavorful selections. But I must admit my main impression was "my, these cupcakes are tiny for the price".  I've had Molly's cupcakes before but didn't pay for them, and I don't remember thinking "I would die for these" lol.   This time it was reversed, so I'll leave the mid-range rating as is, mainly due to price, until further notice. read more

Great unique flavors and cake is flavorful. I always have a hard time choosing. The plain cupcakes are okay but I mainly go for the specialty ones. Boston cream is my favorite read more

The Good I have been ordering Molly's for years. From their cupcakes to custom orders. But being in the northwest burbs, the trek to the city for orders was long and time-consuming. When I heard of this location FINALLY opening up I was ecstatic. The Better They don't yet have a phone number so I had to go in person to place the order. Understandable- they just opened 2 weeks ago. Needed to place an order for my son's birthday and order a half sheet cake to serve our guests. Dori was able to take my order with 48 hour notice without hesitation. Gave me her personal number since they didn't have a phone line setup yet in order to stay connected. The Best No leftovers, guests coming back for seconds- compliments all around on the taste. What more can you ask for. read more

surprised by the low rating, love molly's cupcakes and love that its in the suburbs now. these are some of the best cupcakes with a huge variety of flavor so definitely something for everyone! read more

I believe the young ladies name is Diana. Super friendly welcoming.I went in for the first time and asked her input on which cupcakes to get. She suggested creme brulee, and peach cobbler. I walked out and dropped them I went back and showed her what had happen."she said no worries we can fixed that". Gave me two new cupcakes. Thank you thank you Diana the service industry needs more people like her. read more

I was so excited to see Molly's coming to the burbs. I use to frequent the Lincoln Park location when we lived in the city. This is my second time at this location since they opened and each time the cupcakes tasted stale. Almost grocery store chain cupcakes. For the price of one of these bad boys, I want it moist. I always spoke highly of Molly's in the city but I probably wouldn't recommend this location for the lack of freshness. Maybe it's worth the 20 minute drive to the city to get tastier bites. The workers here were friendly. Glad to see smiling faces behind the counter. read more

I love this place, just tried it, and it is delicious! I met a woman named Sabrina that works here. She is amazing, sweet and kind. I tried the blueberry cheesecake, and the cheesecake. These are so delicious and sweet! I will definitely be coming back again. read more

I am sorry, but not a fan. They look amazing and taste subpar at best. The cupcakes we got were moist, however the frosting that isn't chocolate has zero flavor. Cake batter had a ton of runny cake batter in the middle that tasted like flour. Red velvet had a chocolate center that was way too runny. The salted caramel center tasted burnt. read more

Wow! That's an understatement. Because this place is beyond good. You haven't had a cupcake till you've tried Molly's. For the first time my family and I decided to go in and try it. And they do not disappoint. You walk in and the staff is friendly the atmosphere is light and fun. The manager Sabrina is exceptional. Not just a hi and bye. Very into engaging with customers and making sure you're happy with what you got. And her kindness to kids and pets. The girls who are behind the counter are very helpful and sweet. Francesca and Michelle made the pick very easy for us with their very amazing selection. All our questions were answered and we never felt rushed. We will be back very soon. Great sweets and phenomenal service! 10 if I could. read more

My wife and I picked up four different cupcakes. Their staff were very patient and nice. We ate three of them quickly, and the four one was still fresh three days later. We can't go there that often for two reasons - these cupcakes are very good and very sweet, and they are too expensive. read more

I had one of their gluten-free molten lava chocolate cupcakes, and it was so good I had to go back for another one! The best gluten-free cupcake I have ever had! Sabrina, Theresa, and Alina were so friendly and helpful. I only wish this place and these people were closer to where I live. I would go there every day! A wonderful, delicious, and delightful experience!! read more

I've been waiting for this Molly's location to open for months. Finally opened about a week ago and only found out because I happen to walk by. If you go under the Old Orchard website it still say's coming soon. Came in today to get my Molly fix and ordered my usual cake batter and cookie monster. I can definitely taste the difference between this Skokie location and the one on Clark. The cupcakes at the Skokie location are not as moist. If you are a Mollys fan you will definitely be able to taste the difference. The cupcakes at the Clark location are super moist! Additionally they cost 50 cents more than the Clark location. Not a biggie because I would be saving gas and time but I can honestly say they are lacking. If you're not a Molly's fan you probably will not find anything wrong with the cupcakes but if you are you will know. They also don't have hours or phone number listed anywhere. read more

I never cared for cupcakes because I just don't like American sponge cake from *most* bakeries, but today I give credit to Molly's Cupcakes. Putting those toppings, and ESPECIALLY those fillings, made me a fan. read more

I love molly cupcakes and was craving some when strolling at the mall. The cupcake was disappointing, it was flavorless and a weird temperature that made it taste old. I had the white chocolate raspberry. My sister had the famous peach one and she said it is different than the one made on other locations but it was still good. read more

Sabrina, the store's manager, went out of her way to help me come up with a plan to surprise my daughter and her friends with cupcakes for my daughter's 13th birthday! She wrote special notes for each girl and they each picked out their own flavor. Not only were the cupcakes delicious, Sabrina took the time out of her busy day to take fun pictures of the girls. Thank you so much for making Charlotte's day extra special! The girls all loved it! read more

I have been a Molly's customer for 10+ years (ordered cakes and many many cupcakes) and went to old orchard location today...spent $34 + for 7 cupcakes.... tasted horrible, not fresh, red velvet although half off was smushed and the frosting tasted like it was made a few days ago...this place is the closest to me (lives way up north near Wisconsin border) but will rather head to Lincoln Park or Morgan St. and spend gas and money as this place is not worth neither! Sorry Molly 's cupcake but this place is nowhere close to the others.... read more
