I had the best red velvet cupcake of my life here. Moist, buttery, not too sweet. It was fantastic!

I like that Molly's always has some tasty filling in the core of the cupcake. It's their signature and it works really well. The cupcakes themselves are a good balance of fluffy and sweetness. I don't love their frosting though. I've had a number of flavors and the frostings are always way too sweet or way too buttery. I often end up wiping off half the frosting and eating more of the cupcake and filling in the middle instead of the frosting. read more

Had the peanut butter Nutella cupcake and it was fantastic. One of if not the best cupcake I've ever had. The shop is welcoming and a great place to hang out for a while. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Honestly, I haven't seen a single episode of cupcake wars, but decided that I should try a cupcake from the winner of cupcake wars haha the cafe itself is a good size. A few tables to sit and enjoy your cupcake. First of all, options galore!! I had such a hard time deciding what cupcake to get because so many sounded so good and interesting. I ended up deciding on the white chocolate raspberry, thanks to the help of the lovely workers. The cupcake itself was pretty yummy! Moist, sweet, and lightly tart from the raspberry. Not amazing, but I understand the appeal simply from the flavors available alone. I love the fact that you can customize the cupcakes as well. And the sprinkle shakers? Amazing. Genius. Overall, solid spot for a yummy quick dessert read more

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. read more

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. read more

Some of the best cupcakes in Chicago! Everything is good, but if I had to choose just 1 it would be the peach cobbler cupcake. Service is fast and there's a fair amount of seating inside as well. Parking in this area is limited but is easily accessed by bus. A tip, Molly's in on Too Good To Go app and it's a pretty good deal if you don't mind the surprise! read more

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. read more

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. read more

I do NOT recommend trying to order custom cupcakes from here. I called to discuss what I wanted and they directed me to email my request to the manager, well I got no no response so I proceeded to reach out 5 times by calling and each time someone on the phone said that they could do what I wanted but needed the manager to reply for a quote, and said they would text them. I never heard back. So I proceeded to get plain vanilla cupcakes and decorate them myself and my ONLY request was for half to have silver wrapping and half to have gold -- no one reached out to let me know they couldn't do this and today they arrived without them. I'm just very frustrated with the service and the lack of any communication. They're not worth the hassle of having to communicate with the store!! read more

Some of the best cupcakes that you will ever have the most unique flavours my favourite is a crème brûlée and I believe the devil food or double chocolate but they have so many amazing flavours. The shop is so cute and amazing. The service is fantastic whether you're going in or even getting it delivered. They are excellent customer service. I highly recommend them. I would say that the best cupcakes read more

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. read more

What a carnival of fun, luscious flavors!!!!!!! Now this is someone who knows how to make cupcakes...fresh, light, moist, tender cakes filled with mouthwatering flavors exploding on your taste buds. Topped with creamy, silky, smooth toppings with awesome, decorative, edible designs. Ordered a 12 cupcake variety of what was in the case and each one was better than the other. Bravo!!!!!!! read more

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! read more

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! read 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. read more

I purchased four cupcakes and I wasn't impressed. The cupcakes just seem overpriced for what you're getting. The only true testament is that the icing and the decor is what stands out. read more

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. read more

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. read more

It was ok. Service was ~ok. Parking on this section of Clark is pretty dicey a lot of the time. I got lucky in that there was a space right across the street when I stopped in. All pay to park, with the possible exception of a 15-minute-flashers zone space here and there. The cupcakes were ok but I wouldn't come back here as a destination. Perhaps that's in part because cupcakes aren't really my thing (other these homemade ones I make that are amazing). My partner and I agreed that the creme brûlée cupcake was the best; creme brûlée is my favorite dessert, so I'm glad it wasn't disappointing. The other I got was a berry cupcake and it was okay. Overall I can see how folks for whom cupcakes are amongst their favorite treats would find something they love here. For me, it's not somewhere I'll return unless I have a specific reason to. read more

I decided to look for a place for a treat and coffee while I was on Clark Street! I googled and looked on Yelp to find a place near my location ! It looked very inviting and homey from the outside with good ratings posted ! Went in a looked at the cupcakes to see if my mouth would water and it did! I showed my vaccine card and ID to dine in because I was cold from walking from my other outing! The coffee was tasty but could have been a little warmer(maybe playing it safe) The cupcake was very yummy ! It was filled with cookie dough cream and had a chocolate mini cookie on top! It was just the right size! I will definitely go back again ... maybe order ahead! I will probably by a half dozen variety! Recommended Keep this local business going:-) See you soon! read more

I never really understood the cupcake craze in this city but my kids who are cupcake connoisseurs will say these are hands down the best cupcakes in Chicago. They love the red velvet. We also tried the peach one ( a little too much frosting for my liking but the base was fantastic). Husband had the banana with chocolate - he loved it too. Friendly and efficient service. Grab a swing ( counter seating is all swings) and enjoy. read more

I don't know if I've just been living on an island but these are some of the best cupcakes I've had in a while. They do a great job designing their cupcakes and also just kinda bite construction. The crème brûlée one was very satisfying. It had custard filling and the brûléed top. I also tried the very vanilla, which was very tasty. Vanilla wafer, with vanilla crème topping, vanilla custard filling, and vanilla cupcake batter. I definitely want to come back and try the rest of their extensive cupcake varieties. The place is super cute too. Great decor & swing chairs! Coffee! Cupcakes! Great spot. read more

I LOVE Molly's. If I see Molly's, I go regardless of time of day. Been to their Lincoln Park, Illinois St, West Loop, Woodfield and Iowa City locations. They are open late, great place to stop by after dinner or if you need a late night treat. Every store has a swing. I've sat in all of them! :) Love all the cupcakes. My personal favorites are the creme brûlée and Ron Bennington. Instead of cake, my daughter had Molly's cupcakes for her birthday (photo below) read more
