    Great, quick, and wonderful experience! I went into this location with the idea of wanting to buy one cupcake for my wife... I left buying 4 haha They were all delicious and tasted high quality! The reason I purchase 4 was because they had a special promotion going on and I would have never known without the Server helping me out. So just because of that, I give this place & location a 5 stars! It's a bit pricey, like I wouldn't be able to go here as often because of it, but because of the wonderful customer experience, I'm going back because of that! Thank you cashier and Molly's Cupcakes, see you soon. Personal Review: 8.4/10

    I love, love, love Molly's Cupcakes. I've had them a few times, but I never stopped inside of a store before, and I absolutely needed a sweet treat after dinner. Molly's has thee best cupcakes in city, not even kidding, but I didn't know they had such cute stores too! It was really spacious in here. They have a fun science wall and a lunch box wall. It was really cute. The staff were so sweet and kind. I managed to snag the last strawberry cheesecake, and I truly could've eaten like five more of them. Molly's has some pretty great flavors for their cupcakes like Blueberry Cheesecake, Crème Brûlée, Peach Cobbler. They also have other cheesecake flavors, which I thought was near. I almost tried the cherry cheesecake, but had to stick with what I love from Molly's. Highly, highly recommended!

    Second time trying Molly's Cupcakes but this time at the location on Wabash! Can we please start a slow clap for the design and decor of this location? You walk in and it's not just a bakery it's a place to socialize, catch up with friends, and swing...YES sit in a swing and not try to drop your goodies! One day I'll move to Chicago and pick an apartment based on distance from this location.

    I tried the Cookie Monster and the Strawberry Lemonade cupcakes and both were dry and tasted old. The icing was mediocre at best and the cake itself had a strange spongy texture. The only decent one was the Strawberry Cheesecake, but even that wasn't impressive enough to make up for the others. Mollys Cupcakes seems to be all hype with small, overpriced cupcakes that don't live up to their reputation. For the price they charge, I expected much better quality and freshness. I wouldn't recommend this place unless you're okay with paying premium prices for subpar cupcakes. There are much better bakeries in Chicago worth visiting instead.

    Such a cute atmosphere! I was there first thing in the morning so the cupcakes were still cold and not as soft and fluffy as I'd prefer. The peach cobbler was enjoyable and I bought others to try later on today.

    The specialty cupcakes are so good at Molly's! They all have filling on the inside (which is not just frosting) unique to each flavor. The cookie cupcake had cookie dough in the center which was so good. The sprinkles one has cake batter inside - might be my favorite one! Blueberry one was really taste too. They have flavors you can't get everywhere and I heard they even make a ras malai cupcake during Diwali so I'll have to go back to try that one!

    Mollys is my favorite cupcake place/bakery in South Loop. I love the setup of the shop; there are plenty of tables for people to sit, and they even have games available for customers to play. The sweets are all displayed in glass cases, so I don't have to worry about bugs flying around. Recently, they introduced the option to create your own cupcake cake, which is really cool. During my visit, I tried the strawberry bubbles and the cake batter cupcakes, along with a doggy treat for my furry friend. I appreciated that they sell dog treats, and the person taking my order even threw in an extra one for free, which was really nice of her. I especially love these cupcakes because they have an extra surprise inside, which is always a delightful treat.

    Amazing cupcakes and very helpful and friendly staff! They answered my many questions and helped me pick out the perfect cupcakes for me and my ex-roommate!

    Mollys by far is my favorite!! I have never had a cupcake as good as Mollys. Every single cupcake that I have tried has been one of a kind. They are all filled with so much flavor and not to mention they are the cutest cupcakes ever. These cupcakes really live up to their name. They are all so unique and embody the dessert it's named after. This particular day I had cookies and cream, strawberry shortcake, peach cobbler, Cookie Monster, my absolute fave creme brulee, and red velvet. Every single cupcake was like heaven in my mouth. And did I mention they deliver!! You can order these cupcakes and have them deliveredby door dash! Even better right?? However if you're in the area you might want to stop inside. Look at how nice it looks. Very creative and esthetically pleasing.

    These cupcakes are decent and will fix a cupcake craving but I would not say they are the best cupcakes. Pros: Good variety of cupcakes You can customize your cupcakes Cupcakes are decently priced around $4 Inside of the store is cute Cons: Taste is average

    So cute inside

    I was HOOKED on Molly's cupcakes when I visited Chicago. My personal favorite by far was the white chocolate raspberry. I tried most of the cupcakes and nothing beat the white chocolate raspberry. The cupcakes were just SO good. And the interior design was super cute! They had cute swing seats. There was a book wall with lockers across from it on the way to the restroom. Everything here was just adorable, it was well lit and great for some cute pictures. They also had two giant stuff animals in one of the seating spaces. The place is self serve, they have a station with forks, napkins, a sink and everything you need to clean up. Tl;dr - Great interior for cute pics. Cupcakes are delicious. Love the white chocolate raspberry

    Now I will say this review is only for this location (granted I have never tried the other locations etc). I think the concept of l filled cupcakes is so fun, and Mollys has a variety of great flavors on rotation usually. The price I think is reasonable to other cupcake/ bakery shops in the city (though a bit pricey in general; I blame inflation and Chicago just being expensive in general ) The reason I'm giving 3 stars is for the service. Truly not an amazing customer experience, the staff felt like they didn't want me there as a customer and was kinda rude honestly. I think I'll try my luck at the other locations if I really want another Mollys cupcake.

    Decent cupcake shop. I'd say a 3.5. If the service was a little nicer the day I went, I'd probably give them a 4, but it definitely impacted my experience. Didn't want to spend too much time there after I ordered. However, the cupcakes were solid. Not party-in-your-mouth good, but tasty and good texture. Good frosting to cake ratio... I'm sure if you used them for catering a party or getting a large order for a party, people would be satisfied.

    Molly's Cupcake's are so good! The only part I didn't like was that I didn't try every flavor! I recommend it.

    Sweet Mandy B's - Banana cupcake with chocolate buttercream!

    What can I say? I'm a frosting girl and Sweet Mandy B's is the best spot to get my fix!…read more If you love buttercream like I do, you'll find many treats here that will be right up your alley! From frosted cookies, cupcakes, and even cake by the slice, they also sell pies (including by the slice), brownies, scones, and all kinds of other goodies. There's definitely something for everyone (With a sweet tooth) here. It's a great spot! This location in particular had a lot of seating, as well, and is also accessible from the Northwestern Med building or from the street! I especially loved the Cookie Monster cupcake. Vanilla cake with a chocolate chip cookie baked at the bottom, with chocolate buttercream. I think. It was DELICIOUS! The perfect sweet treat!

    A Longtime Fan, but Lately... a Mixed Bag at Sweet Mandy B's…read more I've been a loyal Sweet Mandy B's customer for more than five years. In that time, I've raved about their desserts to friends, hosted celebrations with their cakes, and considered them one of my go-to bakeries in the city. But over the last 12-18 months, something has shifted and the experience has become surprisingly hit or miss. The first indicator was a slice of their snickerdoodle cake that we tried several months ago. The cupcake had always been a favorite so we thought we would try the cake slice, but this time it arrived disappointingly dry. A few weeks later, we tried the banana cake slice, and it was a completely different story, moist, flavorful, and topped with a rich chocolate frosting that reminded me why I fell in love with Sweet Mandy B's in the first place. Their cupcakes were another longtime love of mine. However, they now come standard with sprinkles or chips on top. When I asked if I could get one without those toppings, I was told I'd need to place a custom order (which can't be done for a single cupcake). It felt surprisingly inflexible for such a small request. For a recent birthday, I ordered a yellow cake with chocolate icing. Unfortunately, it landed on the "miss" side of the spectrum, dry and crumbly. Thirteen guests tried it, and more than one commented that even a boxed mix would've tasted better. Lastly, we picked up the peanut butter Rice Krispies treats, a nostalgic favorite. These, too, were disappointing: stale, tough to cut, and ultimately left unfinished because no one enjoyed them. Bottom line: Sweet Mandy B's still has the ability to wow when they get it right. But the inconsistency in quality has become hard to overlook. As a longtime fan, I'm really hoping they return to the delicious reliability that made them such a standout in the first place.
