They were pretty light on traffic when I visited but I was totally fine with that. They had ample inventory of all their cupcakes which I'm not really accustomed to as we normally visit the Lincoln Park location where they constantly revolve the menu based on inventory. Because of this, the cup cakes didn't taste as fresh as they usually are. Nonetheless, the flavors of the cupcakes were on point as usual. I loaded on chocolate decadence, mint chocolate, key lime and cake batter. Most of them OG flavors and they can always be counted on. Because I went on a weekday in between lunch and dinner, it was fairly quiet inside. I'll take this too as I didn't mind it being silent compared to the hustle and bustle at the Clark St Lincoln Park location. All else, great location and always consistent flavors!
Went to get a pack of 6 cupcakes for a birthday. They had an insane amount of variety!! But we got the chocolate decadence, peach cobbler, cake batter, chocolate with caramel, cookie batter, and butterscotch flavors! Omg every single cupcake was so perfectly moist and rich at the same time. It wasn't too sweet and was a complete treat to our taste buds!! I think the cookie batter was actually my favorite! It had a cinnamon taste and OMg it was absolutely addicting!! The inside is so cute! I love the seating and the decor, it's such a warm and welcoming atmosphere! And I asked the server for some candles, which she added for free!! Such an inviting atmosphere! I'm obsessed with cupcakes but I've truly never had better cupcakes than the ones they have at Molly's. And no matter when you show up, you will not be disappointed. 10/10 would highly highly recommend!
Hands down my favorite cupcake place will always be Molly's. They're peach cobbler and raspberry cream cupcakes are my favorites, but you honestly can't go wrong with anything they offer. You can get minis or regular sized cupcakes but I recently saw a big boi the other day. Not sure if that's a regular offering, but the regulars are a mouthful already! The ingredients used in Molly's cupcakes are great. Their buttercream frosting is perfect. I've never had a dry cupcake and I've been a lifelong customer. This location is big enough to social distance, but also to chill if you're feeling it. I have nothing bad to say because there really isn't!
I've been to Molly's three times now since they've opened in downtown Naperville and it's always a wonderful treat! On my first visit I just popped in quickly to grab four cupcakes to bring home to my family. I chose four different flavors from the display case and there was not one that disappointed! On my second visit I had my two young children in two and I got them each a cupcake to enjoy in the shop. They have a a fridge with beverages so I snagged a couple milks as well. Thank goodness the staff is so helpful and friendly! My boys were a tad messy and also hopped up on sugar, but everyone was happy to see them enjoying themselves. On my most recent visit we brought the whole family. Thanks to my husband's help I had a little more time to explore the menu and all Molly's has to offer. I realized you can choose your own cake and frosting! It's not just what they have pre-made in the case. I also discovered that they have wine by the glass and the bottle, and you can get it rimmed with chocolate or caramel! Say no more, mama wanted some chocolate and wine. We got a cookies and creme cupcake for one boy and a red velvet cupcake for the other. My husband and I both ordered a glass of the red blend - mine with a chocolate rim and his without. It was the best of both worlds for the kids and I to enjoy dessert here after dinner at Quiobo! The cupcakes are kind of pricey, but I do believe you get what you pay for because they're delicious. Highly recommend stopping by for dessert or picking up some cupcakes to go!
This quarantine has unfortunately turned downtown Naperville into a ghost town, but lucky for my friend and I Molly's cupcakes is still open for pickup and delivery. This is such a cute cupcake shop that is located in such a great and lively area of Naperville. The decor on the inside is warm and welcoming, and every time I am here the employees are always incredibly nice. In my opinion, they have some of the most creative cupcake flavors I've seen! Some examples of these flavors include their salted caramel butterscotch, peach cobbler, and Créme Brûlée. These novelty cupcakes are mainly popular for the cream filling found in the center. Of course, not everyone enjoys cupcakes with fillings, so they even give customers the option to create their own cupcake. I think this is a great way to cater to everyone's needs. The cupcakes themselves are delicious. Nice and rich in texture, I see why Molly's cupcakes is a staple for Downtown Naperville! Do yourself a favor and order to see for yourself!
This kiosk must have just opened, as there are no reviews as of yet. I'm not a cupcake expert but I have heard of them from the daughter, who is a self-proclaimed one. All I can say is they didn't look very big for $3.75 apiece, but they must be good cuz they're a popular franchise? ps - The photos and reviews are for the new kiosk at Woodfield Mall, located Lower Level, K2. Someone at Yelp or Molly's apparently changed the business name/location info back to their Naperville location for some reason, and I will not put forth any further effort to correct this.
Have come here multiple times with and without other people to try the cupcake that won Cupcake Wars (peach cobbler - along with its other tasty friends offered!) Super cute and spacious as you walk inside, and the staff is attentive, friendly, and willing to describe each cupcake. If you do come to Molly's, I would recommend any of the filled cupcakes. Although I'm sure the make-your-own cupcakes are yummy, they really are known for their speciality cupcakes and it's worth the extra spend (and calories!) Creme Brulee - my favorite of the current permanent variety that they offer. Well torched on the top like real creme brulee, with a creme filling. Topped with two pieces of fruit. Not overly sweet in my opinion for something that is both cupcake and creme brulee. So delicious! Cookie Monster - cookie dough filling. Can be a bit hard, but for cookie dough lovers, it's perfect. This one more like a traditional cupcake - on the more sugary side, but the buttercream top (along with a small cute chocolate chip cookie!) make it less heavy than other options Peach Cobbler - amazing, almost like two desserts. Best eaten right away as the ice cream on top does start to melt quickly, but the cupcake itself is unique. Peach on the inside. Tiramisu - best of what they had around the holidays/January. Was super light with a buttercream filling and frosting. Sooo good. Favorite next to the creme brulee. I've come here several times and have brought my boyfriend and friends. It's a super cute place that even has swing chairs. Perfect for date night and my favorite dessert place in downtown Naperville (and there are a LOT to choose from!)
I've been to this location a couple of times but today I got the worst cupcake. It was dry , crumbly and had more cream than cake just awful. I expected more. The service was good and the place is always cute.
Such a nice and roomy store. THE SWINGS SWING HERE, not like the ones in Lincoln Park! A con would be swinging too hard and having your body too far forward and hitting your knees on the counter...wupz. They have about the same size display windows as the other location, but I didn't feel as overwhelmed. There was more rooms between each tray. I got the lemon meringue, which I may have looked over while at other locations. I was excited and the cupcake was delicious. They also had these 5 layer bars...or something like that, which I picked up after I finished the cupcake. They were cutting them right in front of me, I couldn't withstand the temptation. The bar was absolutely delicious, although I will say a tad too sweet for me, so I had to split it up and eat it throughout the day. They had something passion fruit related (I think with an orchid on top) and I completely missed it when I was picking my cupcake. Would have loved to try that!
I think Molly's cupcakes is a GREAT little store with yummy treats. They make cupcakes that taste good & look good too. A bit pricy when ordering a dozen or larger quantities, but worth it for special occasions. My frustration with this location is their website not being updated. I like to get in and out right when the store opens so I can avoid traffic and get on with my day. Website indicated store opens at 8 AM, but the shop did not open until 10 AM. Also, website indicates seasonal flavors by month but store attendant said those flavors are not in season. Too many inconsistencies to overlook.
Super good cupcakes! I'm obsessed with the creme brûlée, peach cobbler and the blueberry cheesecake. Those flavors seriously can't be duplicated. I wish they had more specials or a punchcard.
My gf brought me here to celebrate my graduation. Honestly, at first, I wasn't sure if I wanted cupcakes over the other dessert options in the vicinity. But after I peered into the display case, I was sold. We ended up leaving with 4 flavors because I couldn't decide. Creme brulee, mixed berry, blueberry cheesecake, cookies and cream. That is also how I rank them starting with my favorite. Nothing was overly sweet. C&C was the sweetest because of the chocolate. Most of the topping was way lighter tasting than it looks. The creme brulee and cheesecake ones had to be refrigerated so just keep that in mind for those not planning to chow down right away. I also appreciated their pride displays.

Molly's Cupcakes in Naperville are decadent and creative. The menu includes filled cupcakes. The top left cupcake is their creme brûlée. It is filled with creme brûlée filling and topped with fresh glazed berries. They also offer other creative cupcakes like cookie monster, peach cobbler, cake batter and a flourless cupcake among others. read more
Do you like cupcakes? Do you like a cup of coffee with your cupcakes? Do you want an inviting space with a swing to eat your cupcakes? How about cupcakes to go? Definitely check out Molly's cupcakes. Not sure who Molly is but she makes a solid cupcake. Maybe she oversees the operation and doesn't make the cupcakes but either way, you can't go wrong with Molly's cupcakes. read more

This review is far overdue, I've visited a couple of times before COVID19 and I've tried a variety of Molly's Cupcakes with my boyfriend. I have finally found out what my favorites are! Any of their famous center filled ones are highly recommended. If you're lucky enough to catch their seasonal ones and it sounds to your liking - get it! It's probably just as delicious as your mind thinks it to be. Tiramisu was my first love but ever since I've gotten Creme Brulee - that is now my new favorite! Since tiramisu was a seasonal flavor, it's hard for me to find something to satisfy my craving but now I have. Whenever I have a sweet tooth, I know which one to go for. It's caramelized at the top and the inside is oh-so creamy. The blackberries on top add a nice tartness to compliment the sweetness. A close second would definitely be Blueberry Cheesecake. Just like it's name - imagine a cheesecake but in a smaller cupcake version! This one provides more of a fruity taste in my opinion because of the blueberries. I also enjoy the little bits of crunchiness provided by the graham crackers. Molly's has super cute decor and it's the perfect spot for having a little snack. Great to just hang out and have a conversation with someone. There's also friendly and attentive staff. PRO TIP: try to eat your cupcakes asap because they will look AND taste better. They provide free water, forks, and plates so why not? We took them home the first time and the experience was not as great as having it right away! read more

I picked 4 cupcakes for my family and I. I chose taremisu cupcakes. It was moist and tasty. It was not sweet that what I loved from this bakery. The store was very modern, cleaned, and organized. The staff is friendly and quick. There were many different types of cupcakes. They also serve wine. I will definitely come back in the future. read more

It's amazing! I love the texture of each of the cupcakes and they've taken precautions with Covid! Definitely better than sprinkles cupcakes!! If you're a chocolate lover get the chocolate decadence (to die for) read more
Instead of getting a cake for my birthday, I decided to go the cupcake route to try numerous flavors. I have heard of Molly's Cupcakes, but have not gotten a chance to check them out yet. We ordered 7 cupcakes for curbside pickup due to covid. We ordered 2 boston cream, red velvet (create your own), cake batter, blueberry cheesecake, creme brûlée and Cookie Monster. The prices were as expected for "boutique cupcakes". They conveniently had curbside pickup parking in front of the store. The exterior and interior had cute decor from what I can see from my car (since my SO went in to pick up the order). The cupcakes were packaged in a clear container and everything looked so good. My absolute favorite flavor was the creme brûlée w/ vanilla cake, creme brûlée custard filling and caramelized topping. It was amazing. I wish I had some right now! In second place was the blueberry cheesecake. I love cheesecake, but the graham crackers and glazed blueberries on top of the delicious vanilla cheesecake blend just took it to another level. The other cupcakes were also delicious. My SO's favorite was the Boston cream. I am definitely a fan and will order from Molly's Cupcakes again! I look forward to visiting the actual store when things calm down with covid. read more

We got a creme brûlée cupcake which was not topped with cream. Filled with light custard cream and topped with rapsberry and blueberry , it was just a nice size and taste for us, just to enjoy with a cup of coffee. The staff was all nice and kind. read more

Oh yum! I used to be a cupcake baker and I'm very critical about cupcakes. I've eaten cupcakes from Australia to Europe to Canada and everywhere in between. My favorite cupcake bakery is in Portland, Oregon. Thanks to Molly's, I don't have to travel to the West Coast to get a great cupcake. I stopped in Molly's today for the first time and had their chocolate cupcake with peppermint frosting. The chocolate cake was moist and delicious, but the best part was that peppermint frosting. It was light and fluffy, not too sweet and creamy. It really was perfection! Some other flavors I saw that I'd love to try in the future is pecan pie, peach cobbler, blueberry cheesecake and crème brûlée...birthday cake, too. I can't wait to eat my way through each and every flavor... LOL read more
Came in for an after dinner cupcake, and I am quite glad that I did! I thought their swings and lockers were a really cool touch, makes this place super fun to visit! All of the cupcakes looked so delicious that I had a hard time deciding! My sister and I ended up sharing a chocolate cupcake with peanut butter in the middle and butterscotch on the top, it was a little too rich but very delicious. We got my grandma the raspberry white chocolate cupcake and she loved it! I like that it was filled with cream. My parents got a flourless cupcake and it tasted like a regular cupcake, it was yummy! read more

Worth trying. Cupcakes are rich but very good and taste just like their respective flavors. We got S'mores (seasonal flavor) and Boston Cream and enjoyed both. Both had fillings and cost $3.75 each (they have customizable plain cupcakes for less). The cupcakes seemed a little smaller than I expected but were so rich that I didn't mind. I recommend going with someone else to share a few flavors or going for a long distance run after. There's plenty of seating inside and some swings for you Instagram people. Employees were friendly. When you pay, the screen asks for a tip...I'm a generous tipper, and I'm sure they work hard, but for handing me a cupcake...sorry kid. FYI The cupcakes are refrigerated and they have a sign stating you have to eat or frigerate them within an hour. read more
National Cupcake Day, and we are fans of Molly's (Chicago) so we had to go. Got 2 cupcakes each, and the place is just very well organized. I loved the Samoas, and the blueberry cheesecake. The Samoas were a hit with everyone. Loved the cute sprinkles water cups - love that they didn't have wasteful plastic products. Would definitely visit again - their cupcakes are to die for!!! read more
We got here right when they were about to close but they still let us in! Success! The two ladies behind the counter were very sweet and filled us in with their favorite selections. Their menu is so extensive also including many vegan options, ice cream, and you can even build your own cupcake! I got the Peanut Butter Nutella cupcake and it rocked my world. I honestly ate it so slow because I didn't want it to end. Is that sad or the perfect reason you have to go!? The peanut butter cake was so moist and the nutella filling was better than I can even describe. It tasted as homemade as homemade could be! The store is adorable also and has plenty of seating for people to enjoy while they are there. They even have swings that you can sit on while you wait or just for fun. We took advantage of that opportunity ;) read more
I don't know why or how I haven't discover this place before but better late than never! First of all, they are in perfect sweetness. Not overwhelming which allows me to eat more than one cupcake without sugar coma. I had tried samoa (coconut one), creme brulee (omg to die for!), peach cobbler, german chocolate, eclipse, cookies and cream and they are all amazing. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the flavors. Inside decor was cute, even have a picture board for those selfies. Enough reading my yelpzonians go get that treat! Enjoy! read more
The first time I came to Molly's I came in and grabbed a delicious variety of cupcakes. Peach cobbler, tiramisu, creme brûlée, and Boston cream. Out of all of these the creme brûlée blew me away! The cupcake top was sweet and crispy like a creme brûlée, and tasted just like it. When I bit into it I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was actual creme brûlée filled in the center. It was like two desserts in one. On my way out I noticed that they had a create your own cupcake menu. I knew I'd come back to make my own vegan cupcake. I returned and did just that, I made my own vegan cupcake! They had two options, vanilla or chocolate cupcake and two frosting options as well they were vanilla or chocolate. When given the option I do my best to avoid dairy. Thank you so much Molly's for including vegan on your menu, it's rare to see that. The inside is super cute they have swings you can sit on while you eat your cupcake and they also have tables to sit at. Molly you have now become my favorite cupcake spot, stay sweet and I'll see you soon! read more
