Meh is how I feel overall but I still recommend trying this place for their cupcakes at least once if you're in the area. Some cupcakes are better than others in terms of texture and flavor combos but I always found the chocolate flavor ones more moist than non chocolate flavor ones here. I would avoid the cake and overall not a place I would go out of my way for. Got a birthday cake here once and the frosting was overwhelming sweet and hard even after leaving the cake at room temp like the staff recommended. I think the service could be better too- not very friendly and they didn't really like to answer questions about certain ingredients when I was looking for vegan cupcakes for family members who don't have dairy. The space is decorative though and probably a fun spot if you're a fan of the owner from her books or being on tv. read more

Checking off a bookish bucket list item! When I learned that Abby Jiminez owned a bakery in the Minneapolis area, I immediately added it to my must-do list since I visit at least once a year. As I walked in the door, I felt like a kid on a field trip!!! I was immediately greeted by a kind young lady who allowed to take lots of pictures and video. It's just so cute inside with quaint sitting areas and a cute area for photo ops. There is a large assortment of cupcakes to choose from as well as macarons and even treats for your fur babies. In addition to sweet treats, there are signed copies of Abby's books available for purchase. The experience was amazing! The cupcakes were delicious! This will definitely become a routine visit when I'm in the area. read more

It's so pretty and fancy! The display of the cupcakes is amazing!!! The seating area is super cute and they have fun games to play for free. My son and I grabbed 4 cupcakes, 2 for now and 2 for later then sat down to eat them while we played some games. I was bummed the espresso machine was broken cause I had my heart set on a late but the cupcakes were still worth the visit. We got the peanut butter chocolate, raspberry pistachio, confetti, and coffee late cupcakes. All of them were amazing with suck creamy frosting. Not the cheap kind. This place is a great spot for taking kids, a date, or a friend. Hopefully the espresso machine will be working soon. read more

I have known of Nadia Cakes from all my book loving friends, so when I knew I needed to stop while I was in the area! Abby Jimenez had recently released a new book and there was a flavor and display dedicated to the book launch. There was a flavor for every pallet and each cupcake was beautifully decorated, I had so much fun selecting which I wanted to take home! The staff was friendly, providing recommendations and patience while I was decision making. Ultimate the cupcakes were fresh, moist, and extremely delicious! read more

I love Nadia Cakes! I stopped in before book club because we read Say You'll Remember Me so I thought it'd be fun to get the cupcakes for the girls as well. I was pleasantly surprised to find she had themed cupcakes for the book! I got some of those and a few other flavors and everything was great. This wasn't my first time at Nadia's and it won't be my last! They are a little spendy so definitely more of a treat every once in a while but I'm always happy to support small businesses! read more

What a delicious little cupcake shop! My mom is a librarian in Chicago, after reading Abby Jimenez's most recent book she said she had to come see Nadia Cakes - and I'm so glad she did! We stopped in to try a couple of cupcakes, but they have so many different delicious looking desserts. We went for the wedding cake and chocolate knight, both were delicious. Normally I am a chocolate person, but I absolutely loved how light and delicious the wedding cake was with the strawberry frosting. The chocolate cupcake was also rich and moist. I will definitely be back here to try some more flavors! read more

Highly recommend the strawberry cupcake, it was a favorite amongst us all but the blue guava cupcake was not as preferable to us.

My mom and sister were visiting and this was a must try for them while they were here. We went to try the cupcakes during their April fools event. The cupcakes were all super creative and fun.

It's a super cute shop and the cupcakes are really cute as well! read more

It's been a while since we visited nadia cakes but made a repeat visit recently and the cupcakes were just as delicious as when they opened! Nadia cakes has a large variety of flavors available daily as well as some rotating flavors. They also offer special flavors and decorations for all of the holiday. St Patrick's day, thanksgiving "dinner" and the April Fools days cupcakes are some of our favorites! In terms of flavors, the triple chocolate, red velvet, salted caramel and cookies and cream are some of our go to's. And they offer most in gluten free and a few Keto friendly options as well. Service is always friendly and the space is so cute with planets of seating for those that choose to enjoy their cupcakes at the shop. If you need treats for a special occasion or just because, nadia cakes is a perfect option. read more

Super cute vibes, DELICIOUS cupcakes and treats, friendly service what's not to love!? Absolutely give this place a try! This is my now favorite cupcake place!! This place is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. When you walk in, you immediately get such fun vibes! I love how they display their cupcakes! The hardest part is picking which flavors you want to try!! I was going to go through the flavors I tried but here's the deal, they were all AMAZING and I suspect all the other flavors are also sooo good! The cake is slightly coarse but pairs well with the smooth frosting! I was given plenty of time to pick the different treats to try and the service was very friendly! There is a little seating here and some drink options as well! This definitely has cafe vibes and would be so fun to meet up with a friend to chat and enjoy a treat! I love being able to support local businesses and I will happily be back!! read more

Love love love Nadia cakes. They made my wedding cakes and the wedding cupcakes. And we stop by nadia cakes a lot on the way home (I would take a star off because it is just too convenient for me to go). Their frosting has the perfect level of sweetness and you have lots of choice to pick from. They also offer featured flavors each months or seasons. The shop is also very cute and fun to stop by during a busy day to relax with some yummy treats. read more

UPDATE: TRIPLE CHOCLOATE: Moist chocolate with good chocolate flavor including the frosting. I will definitely get this one again. I feel like it's hard to get a good chocolate flavor into cakes. and it was a lot better than last time. PEANUT BUTTER CUP: Moist chocolate with good flavor and the peanut butter frosting was great. It was my favorite from the bunch. APPLE CIDER: This was a let down for me but it was okay. I'm particular about the apple cider flavor and it just wasn't there. The flavor was more of a spice cake vs apple cider.  RASPBERRY ALMOND: I've never had this flavor anywhere. I learned that I'm not a fan of the almond flavoring but I think someone who likes this flavor would really like it. CARAMEL APPLE SUCKER: I misread the email.. I was expecting a Caramel Apple cupcake and was quite surprised when I ate this. It tastes just like the sucker. Great flavor of you like the sucker. ORIGINAL POST: The taste is great but the texture and moistness has been off for me. We've had a couple different experiences. Years ago when we first tried them, we thought they were amazing. Flavorful, moist.. left us excited to go back for more (We had the Cheesecake, Salted Caramel, Lemon Drop and Kitty Litter). When we went back the second time, several months later, we had the Salted Caramel and a chocolate one. They were both dry.. had flavor but on the dry side. We were so confused at how there could be such a difference. It seemed like they had been sitting out for awhile. Then we found Nothing Bundt Cakes and that became our #1 spot for cake cravings. While I love them, I was craving something different and decided to give Nadia a try again. I got the Salted Caramel because I loved the filling and flavor the first time. This is my favorite flavor in general and it was so memorable for me the first time I had it at Nadia. Well.. the jury it still out. It was about in the middle of my first 2 experiences. Slightly dry but not as bad as previous and the flavor was present. The frosting was not as soft this time too. They are spendy so it's a tough decision on whether to buy more cupcakes just to see if they'll be that top tier bakery that they promote and once were.. read more

The frosting on top was hard as a rock. Cupcake was delicious, but I will never return.

I have come here a few times, most recently, for the April Fool's event where they had silly cupcakes. We got 6 cupcakes, and I only ended up liking the chocolate donut cupcake. The chewed up bubblegum cupcake was too sweet, and the cupcake itself was pretty dry. The unicorn poop cupcake was the same, and the decorative pearls on the top were really hard; I couldn't even bite into them. Other than that, I really liked the staff and the inside of the store. I would just say that the cupcakes are pretty expensive, but I understand they're specialty cupcakes. read more

Some of my favorite cupcakes come from Nadia Cakes! Love coming in and seeing the flavors they have each week. I usually always go with an Oreo or peanut butter flavor and then a classic like chocolate or vanilla. The decorations are beautiful, and the cupcakes itself are so moist and delicious. I always have to end up getting at least 4 cupcakes just to try them all. Employees are always really friendly and helpful. The price is also pretty reasonable in my opinion. The effort that goes into making these really shows. Can't wait to see their new flavors! read more

Came here specifically to get the berry fusion. We were helped by an older lady. She didn't seem happy. Our total was $20.50, I didn't have change so I gave her $40. I was talking to my son because he wanted to stop at another store so I didn't stand there and count my change when she handed it to me. When I got in the car and started to drive off I had my oldest daughter put my money in my wallet, turns out I was only given $19. She kept the 50 cents. Some might say it's just small change but it's the principle. We come here a lot. Love their cupcakes but after this I will be going somewhere else. I also didn't get a "carry tape" like they always do for the cupcakes. read more

I saw my review from years ago and figured it was time for an update as we've now gone a few times recently! First off, the variety there are so many different flavor cupcakes/ cakes that there's something for everyone. And for those gluten free/gluten conscious/keto friends, there are OPTIONS for you too!! That's right, options, more than just one to pick from which is awesome. My husband and I were keto last time we went, and even though we aren't keto anymore, we still eat the keto chocolate chip cookies because they taste like a real treat!! Pro tip- you can call and request they make them fresh, you will not regret it, when they are warm they are absolutely delicious!! Now, as I mentioned we're no longer keto so we've been trying some of the other options. My husband surprised me with a honey lavender cupcake and let me tell you, it was hands down the best cupcake I've ever eaten. I'm a huge fan of tea/ lavender flavors and this cupcake was so light, so fresh and the perfect amount of lavender. I didn't realize it was limited time and wish we went back and got 10 more! We also got the salted caramel, chocolate vanilla (highly recommend if your not a fan of cream cheese frosting), and the cookies and cream. All were very fresh, cake tasted light and moist, exactly what you want from a cupcake. A few of them had a little more frosting than I'd prefer, but my husband happily ate what I didn't. The store itself is pretty small, but they make good use of the space and when you walk in you can see the large array of what's available which is so fun! Service has always been great for us. And this was showcased when we had an issue. We bought a cake and brought it home, cut into it and while the frosting was amazing, the cake itself tasted wrong. It was kind of dry and sandy, almost as if something had gone wrong during baking. This had been a spur of the moment buy so thankfully we hadn't needed it for an event or anything. But I called the store to let them know what happened and the woman who helped us was beyond helpful and professional. We offered to bring it back so they could see and she said that wouldn't be necessary, and offered us a new cake, store credit or a refund. We opted for a refund since we didn't need a cake but went back the next day to spend it on more cupcakes. And even more recently my husband surprised me with the bouquet cake for Valentine's Day! I was a little nervous it being another cake, but this time the cake was perfect- ot looked gorgeous, and the cake was soft and the frosting tasted perfect. It had the right balance of chocolate and sweet frosting, even our daughter was enjoying it! All that to say, we much prefer Nadia's to other dessert places around here, they have tons of options and the desserts are so cute and so well made. read more

Not going to lie, I love Abby Jimenez and have read all of her books. Of course, I had to try Nadia Cakes. When you walk in, don't be surprised if you're overwhelmed by the sheer volume of cupcakes - it's such a beautiful sight! I appreciate the served behind the counter for her patience as I tried to decide what to get! My Top Three Picks Are: *Strawberry Cupcake - I was transported back to my childhood in a bite. I grew up eating strawberry cake, and this just absolutely transported me. Not overly sweet and hints of strawberry come out. Just so good and the perfect summer treat! *Red Velvet - Bottom line, you can't go wrong with this classic. *Chocolate Knight - Another classic cupcake that doesn't disappoint! I also love dark chocolate and this definitely fulfilled my craving. read more

I've never met a cupcakes I didn't like. And Nadia is what I judge all cupcakes to. I spotted in on a weeknight just before closing so there was no waiting. But on a weekend it's not unusual to have the line out the door. The line tends to stay organized due to the iron railing. However, it can get chaotic once inside, looking at all the options when there's people in the way. I've been her multiple times and staff has always been friendly and helpful. Sometimes I see they are hosting a birthday party in their side kitchen (near the parking lot entrance) for kiddos. That looks like fun. Plenty of parking in the rear. But getting out of the parking lot did require patience due to the Costco traffic and the amount of traffic congestion due to the Fountsins Dr/Elk Creek stoplights. read more

Saw their April Fools event and had to try out the fun cupcake and goodies they had! Due to the pandemic, it was curbside pre-order pickup.

Visited Nadia's on a Saturday afternoon. They have a lovely little table set outside with their full menu (pictures included). They also have stickers on the ground for you to space out 6ft apart. My mom ordered their Strawberry Lemonade while my brother and I both got the Award Winning Cheesecake. They didn't have any tables, so we sat on a grassy spot near the shop. My mom loved her cupcake and my brother really enjoyed the cheesecake. I'm a knob and didn't realize this was a cheesecake (I was really in the mood for a cupcake) and that's obviously not their fault. It was still good, but can't wait to get back so I can try a cupcake! read more

Tasty!! These were perfect for a special treat for St Patrick's day. They are a little spendier (6 for 19.50) but the ingredients seem to be nice quality. I prefer Nadia Cakes to Nothing Bundt Cakes! FYI... The parking lot is a little confusing if it's your first time visiting. There is no parking on the main street but around back. You can enter in the front or by the parking in back. Cupcakes we tried: Brownie cupcake: tastes like a brownie! No filling. Rainbow cupcakes (St Patrick's): marshmallow fluff inside... amazing!!! The rainbow gummy was a perfect touch. Bailey's cupcake (St Patrick's): yummm and boozy! It had a chocolatey goo inside that was so good. Grasshopper (mint chocolate): super rich and perfect for after dinner. Chocolate mint goo inside elevated the flavor. These were great. I'm looking forward to trying the Reese's and Oreo cupcakes one day. See you again Nadia Cakes! read more
