They also have a small parking lot exclusively for customers which I just found out after my umpteenth visit. LOL! I purchased the Crème Brûlée cupcake for a friend who reviewed the crème brûlée topping as "not too sweet" and noted that the sugar still had a bit of crisp to it. The frosting on the Lemon Blackberry cupcake is sooooo delicious, but I was disappointed but the innards due to an absence of any blackberry filling. And then when I got to the BOTTOM of the cupcake, I found a flattened blackberry in the center. I suppose they get an A for effort on that one... As for the Key Lime Pie and Vanilla Salted Caramel cupcakes, I've had them multiple times before and they're so tasty. They're really good at what they do here. Unfortunately, if you don't get there early, you won't get to grab any of the limited/exclusive flavors they sometimes have; I missed out on the latest Banana Pudding cupcake and it still keeps me up at night... Ultimately, I don't have the heart to rate any less than 5 stars. Their cupcakes are so delicious, soft, and moist every time. One of my dessert pet peeves is dry cake--I can't stand a dry or underdressed cake. Cupcakin' makes sure I don't have to suffer. Even when they're sold out of my favorites, I'm leaving with something!

I walked in as soon as they opened, and secured my favorite flavors, and a new one. First, the Dubai Chocolate cupcake is prepared perfectly. The pistachio cream inside of a rich chocolate cupcake, with a combination of pistachio and chocolate on top with candied pistachios to finish it off. Every bite is heavenly! I also tried the Lemon Blackberry cupcake, which is a flavor of the month. I love new and exciting flavors, this one was pretty good. I would've preferred a lemon blueberry (which I would love to see on the menu regularly) but this was good nonetheless. Another favorite is the Chocolate Salted Caramel cupcake. The salted caramel is well pronounced and compliments the light, airy chocolate cupcake. I highly recommend what I believe is the "BEST CUPCAKES IN AMERICA"!!

It is not an option on their website (which it should be hehe) but I saw in one of the reviews that someone had ordered it...so I decided to call and they made it happen! This bakery is very cute. The customer service is excellent (on the phone and in person). It looks like a family owned business which I wanted to support. They were also very kind. They made the process easy since I had ordered this just days before and she also included a candle for me. I was very unprepared and sleep deprived with a newborn so I appreciate that they thought of everything for me and made it so easy. Very kind. So the birthday cake was VERY very good and cute. I couldn't resist getting a slice of strawberry cake myself which was also good but I prefer the tres leche. I also saw they have food (which I want to try) and ice cream cup cakes available and I think that would be another good party buy. I definitely will come again. This bakery is lovely and so are the people who work there.

I think it might've been a bit undercooked... I don't think I would try another one unfortunately. I think I would also stick with the sweet bakery items moving forward. I also ordered a lychee strawberry matcha milk tea (with the oat milk option) and I was pretty happy with that purchase. Overall, I wouldn't dock them more than a star for the underwhelming pastry because most of the others are excellent. It might just be that savory isn't their thing...

The folks ordering in front of me seemed to be regulars, and I went with what they got which was an eclair (soo good) and some mango mouse cake thing which was divine. I overheard folks in line mention ordering online for an event, so you can order ahead of time on the website for cakes. I recommend this place. Heads up, not a ton of seating indoors...BUT it's a lovely neighborhood to walk up and down, and there's some seating, just not a ton.

We ordered two decorated donuts (we left a note that it was a birthday, and to choose something fun), hash browns, an egg and cheese croissant, and coffee. They were having a special if you spent x amount, your coffee was complimentary or in all reality, I think it came to about .25 cents! They chose the cutest panda bear donuts as the decorated donuts, and it was such a fun breakfast vibe full of all the whimsy. They included a bag with napkins and coffee creamer which was a nice touch. And omg, the egg/cheese croissant...so good! There is truly something special about the discovery of breakfast croissants at spots that don't typically market them. (See pic) but the croissant was hearty and layered high with gooey cheese and warm egg. The croissant was warm, buttery, and it seemed like potentially put in a press. Chefs kiss, no notes. I noticed you could add meat and/or avocado, but it was perfect paired down. All in all, a food delivery gone right! Hard to come by these days, and my first time ever executing a delivery order before 7am haha. Thank you for adding to a truly special day, can't wait to visit soon!
