    First trip to Molly's and this did not disappoint! My children LOVE cupcakes and my son even went back and bought 2 more to bring home. I'm not usually a frosting-person but it was the perfect amount of sweet and creamy! The inside filling was the best surprise! We will be going back again!

    The vibes here are very cool and the swings at the bar are very fun. Unfortunately the Flourless Gluten Free Cupcake while available, had signs saying that there was definitely cross contamination - I appreciated the transparent note! Even though I couldn't enjoy it, my party all got items that looked and smelled amazing. The Rice Crispy treat also had my friend going back for seconds to have later this weekend!

    sorry, i don't get it. i tried and cookies and cream cupcake and it was dry, and expensive. i asked the worker for recommendations on best sellers, but there was nothing impressive about this at all. i've had better cupcakes at target.

    With a stellar reputation of serving up some truly delicious cupcakes and treats, the whimsical flavors and variety of choices will certainly make you a repeat customer. Staff is friendly and attentive, and the bakery itself is cheerful and inviting. I do feel that as the expansion of this establishment has continued to grow, the home baked taste has taken a bit of a hit. I will continue to support them, but will also be looking at smaller bakeries to entertain as nothing tastes better than a home baked treat.

    Love a good cupcake place and this one lives up to the 'Best of' Lists! Unfortunately, I only grabbed a pic of the peach cobbler flavor which was my personal favorite. We also tried the Funfetti and Creme Brûlée. The peach cobbler was the only one that truly captured a slice of the actual dish. Perfect filling, icing flavor with a tiny bit of cherry and a peach on top.

    The cupcake i got had peanut butter on the inside, chocolate on the outside. It was ok, it wasn't very sweet. Service was great! Ambiance is chill with a good vibe ! Check it out for yourself

    The OG Molly's location is always the best! Since they've expanded, most of the cupcakes are usually made out of the Clark Steet location. The service is amazing at this location and has always been since it's opening. The atmosphere inside is always inviting and people always dining in and hanging out. They still have the board games to play if you want to just chill. They always have the water station and the plate bins to return your plates and utensils once you've finished using them.

    We looove Molly's cupcakes. It's a must-have every time we come back to visit to Chicago. You can't go wrong with stuffed cupcakes. Seriously. My son ordered the Samoa one, and I got a Nutella stuffed one. Both of them were so yummy!! Easier to knife and fork it, but you can manage with your hands too. We so miss being near to Molly's.

    My husband and I got married in September of last year and we couldn't be happier with our decision to go with Molly's Cupcake. The cake tasting process was amazing, fun, and delicious. There are tons of flavors to try from. We ultimately went for a vanilla cake with peach puree filling and a chocolate cake with raspberry filling for our three tiered cake. Communicating with the coordinator was easy and efficient. Molly's Cupcake delivered the cake carefully to the venue in a timely manner. Thank you again!

    Knew I had to try this place after I saw the food network rating in the window!! I was impressed by the variety of fun unique cupcake flavors but had to try their top rated - the flourless chocolate cupcake. I was surprised when she told me this was the favorite but after trying it I get it. The cake part is rich and fudgy, more so than a normal cupcake which I loved. And the icing was light and fresh and not too sweet so the cupcake itself was really the star of the show. Cant wait to try more!

    As a fairly avid fan of cupcake wars, I was really excited to see a Molly's Cupcakes storefront while taking a stroll down Clark St. After looking at the wide variety of flavors, my friend and I ordered the passionfruit and salted caramel butterscotch to go. Both cupcakes were not overly sweet or decadent, which I appreciated. The cake itself definitely tasted fresh and the frosting texture was quite whipped and light. The part I was a bit disappointed by were the flavors themselves. I had hoped that the flavor might be infused in the actual cake batter to help distinguish, but it seems like it was mainly found in the filling and/or frosting. The salted caramel butterscotch cupcake had a creamy butterscotch filling, but I think I would have liked a stronger flavor for both the frosting and filling. The passionfruit cupcake confused me a bit as it was topped with a blackberry and had a blackberry filling. Because the passionfruit flavor was rather light for the frosting, I found the blackberry jelly inside to be a bit overpowering. Overall, I'm glad I gave it a shot, but not sure if I'd go out of my way to return.

    Friendly staff. Good space with a toilet for customers. Some cool flavor combinations. But the cupcakes-- especially the toppings --are so sweet that the flavors are often very very very obscured.

    Flourless Molten Chocolate *Gluten-Friendly, Red Velvet Cupcake, pumpkin, churro
    Clara S.

    I forgot how good mollys cupcakes can be compared to store bought. This location though did not have any hot drinks because the machine was down. It would have been great to have a coffee with our cupcakes. We got the red velvet, pumpkin, churro, and flourless chocolate molten flavors. I loved the cream cheese frosting on the pumpkin the best. The churro was tasty, and the flourless chocolate was nice and dense. I didn't love the red velvet surprisingly, because that's usually my favorite flavor.

I get the egg,cheese,& hash brown sandwich. The fluffy egg is magic. Potato bun is soft. Hash brown is crispy. The Ube latte is delicious hot or iced. But the star of the show is the pastries. That huckleberry basque is my favorite. Fast, friendly service. The outdoor patio is adorable. They bring your food out to you. Oh yeah, they stop some of the breakfast items at noon though.

By the time I completed my order, the pickup time was 12:15pm. However, it's nice to order from wherever you are and know what time to swing by for your pickup. When I got there, the line wasn't as crazy as I've seen photos of, but it was still long. You get to walk inside past the line for online pick up. There's a sign on the counter. They make any drinks you order fresh when you get there, and it's really quick too! Service was very friendly and fast inside! The ube latte was one of the best ube flavors I've had in an ube latte before. Highly recommend! I had it iced. The pork belly adobo (only available on weekends I think) was a little disappointing. It's very possible it wasn't that great because it might've been sitting a few minutes before I picked it up and then it was 15-20 minutes uber back to my hotel to eat it. Food is always better when eaten fresh, so I don't fault them for it. The egg was perfectly cooked. I thought the pork belly would be cut in bigger chunks like their photos online, but they were cut very small. I want to try the breakfast sandwich next time I'm in town. The chocolate chip cookie with dark and white chocolate was big, soft, and yummy. I also got the banana tart which was SO good. It was not what I expected, but the flavors and textures were spot on. They have some benches on the side of their restaurant so if you do online order for pickup, I'd recommend trying to grab a spot there and eat the food fresh. I would recommend the baked goods and ube latte, not sure about the hot food until I can go back and try more menu items.

This is a fast casual spot so service was pretty fast. There is a decent amount of seating, most of which was surprisingly taken around 11am on a Thursday. For starters, they no longer have their rainbow cake! I was surprised to hear that considering how popular it's supposed to be. We got both banana lattes which were extremely sweet. It's basically dessert with a hint or caffeine. I'm a big fan of banana, so I actually liked this but I would've preferred half the sweetness. The Turkey Bacon & Egg Croissant was so good! A solid breakfast sandwich - the eggs were cooked perfectly, the turkey bacon was insanely crispy, and that sambal aioli was just what this needed. I highly recommend adding Avocado like I did for some freshness & creaminess since it's a heavy sandwich as is. The Cinnamon Roll was soft, moist, and not overly sweet. Overall, I really enjoyed this breakfast!

    Glorious. One-of-a-kind. Amazing. Definitely some of the best pastries I've had in Chicago…read morerecently. If you haven't made it over to Sugar Moon yet, it's well worth a trek out of the way! We visited around noon on a Sunday, and after reading the reviews here, I wasn't optimistic there would be many pastries left. Maybe I should play the lottery, because luckily there was no line and a pretty good selection of pastries left. The staff were super friendly and there were so many unique flavors of baked goods. We decided to split several and opted for the blueberry cloud cookie, chai cinnamon roll, banana pudding croissant, espresso cornflake cookie, and potato focaccia. The shop was more of a small take-out operation, so we took the pastries to a nearby park to eat. Everything was absolutely divine! The group favorite was the focaccia- the creamy potatoes and cheese brought a rich flavor that was perfectly balanced by the fluffy bread. The chai roll was perfectly soft and delicately spiced, completed with that soft cream cheese frosting and gooey center we all like to see. My personal favorite was the banana pudding croissant- the dough was so crispy that I'm pretty sure others could hear the bite, and there was a generous amount of filling with fresh bananas and visible vanilla beans in the whipped cream. The espresso cookie was super soft- while I couldn't taste the espresso very clearly, I absolutely *loved* the caramel-coated cornflakes topped with sea salt. Super unique and would definitely order again. Despite their decadent appearances, none of the pastries were too sweet. Already plotting a return visit and can't recommend this shop enough!

All their pastries are fresh and made with seasonal ingredients so you will always be getting something new. I got there 30 mins after they opened and had to wait outside for around 15 mins but the line does move fast. There is very limited seating inside so plan to just grab and go. I tried their banana pudding croissant and raspberry scone. The croissant melted in my mouth, it was so flakey and buttery. The raspberry scone was soft and sweet enough. Awesome spot in Logan Square! One of my favorite bakeries in Chicago.
