    Store closed announcement.

    So what's going on with this place?? They close up from out of the blue, but you can place an order 24 hours in advance with a minimum order of 12 cupcakes. I can't eat 12 cupcakes. C'mon, I can do a minimum order of 6 but not 12. Is Small Cakes going to reopen the store eventually or move to another location? I think you should stop selling stuffed animals and sell only bake goods. It was a little odd to have a store full of so many stuffed animals but this little display case of only about 40 cupcakes, if that. Yeah, focus on the bake goods, get rid of the toys and add cakes, pies, brownies and donuts to your menu. More choices means more customers.

    S'mores, Strawberry, Cookies & Cream

    FOOD - Cookies & Cream: chocolate cake with cookie and cream frosting, topped with cookie crumbs. The cupcake was moist and not too sweet. 5/5 -S'mores: chocolate cake with marshmallow frosting topped with 3 marshmallows, a piece of Hershey's chocolate and chocolate syrup. This cupcake was a little on the sweet side, though very good still. 4/5 - Strawberry: strawberry cake topped with strawberry frosting, topped with sprinkles. This one was surprisingly the sweetest. A little too much for my liking. 3.5/5 SERVICE: The young lady at the register was friendly. One of the cupcakes got sliced into when she closed the lid, but no big deal. 3.75/5 FINAL THOUGHTS: The cupcakes were all very tasty, though some were more sweeter than others. I wish they would give a break on the price, the more cupcakes you buy. That would encourage me to buy more.

    I stopped by to pick up some cupcakes for my daughter's birthday. I've driven by hundreds of times and never stopped, I don't know why it took me so long to pop in.... Now that I've tried it, it will definitely be a while before I return. Cupcakes are $4 each, with no break on price until you get to a dozen. Alright, if they're absolutely over-the-top delicious I can see paying that kind of money. I ordered seven different flavours that we shared amongst the seven of us. Most tasted good. A couple were on the dry side. None of them were so scrumptious that I would get back there as soon as possible for more. Bummer, this place is closer to home than Nothing Bundt Cakes; but Smallcakes just doesn't measure up! I think most often I'll drive the extra distance and go with a Bundt cake.

    Banana cream and carrot cake

    I passed by this store so many times and finally got to try today. I wanted to try their mini cupcakes but they were not ready yet or maybe they are not making them at all...not sure. So I just ordered two reg cupcakes, carrot cake and banana cream. They were both very moist and tasty. Perhaps the frosting was a little too much and it was tad too sweet for me, but I am Asian and we are used to lesser sweet levels. So I think most people would find their cupcakes perfect! The service I received was very nice too. I hope to come back to try their mini cupcakes so I can sample more flavors!

    Fantastic cupcakes! First and foremost these cupcakes are delicious, they are fluffy, moist, fresh and flavorful. I use to have a gourmet cupcake business so I am hyper critical of cupcakes. I feel confident recommending Smallcakes to everyone. I went in and got a dozen for my boyfriends birthday party and they were an absolute hit. We got several flavors including Vanilla, Strawberry, banana, champagne, chocolate eclair, lemon, chocolate marshmallow and maybe a couple others that I can't remember. Every single one was raved about. Everyone was asking where I got these cupcakes from. So thank you Smallcakes for some awesome, adorable and delicious cupcakes!

    ... Mamma mia, here I go again My my, how can I resist you? I pass by this little cupcakery every weekday at least twice a day and sometimes on the weekends but it was my first time to stop by just recently! Not sure how my sweets radar missed this place and they have plenty of locations all over the U.S.? I stopped by to get a cupcake for my teen... I wanted to surprise her with her favorite flavor, carrot cake! She loved it. I stopped by another time after work, this time I purchased two cupcakes (one for me). I bought one lemon drop and another carrot cake. I had the carrot cake. So soft and moist and delicious with fun decorations! The frosting may be overly too sweet for me, though, but overall yummy. They bake the cupcakes on-site so you know they are fresh. With a variety of yummy flavors, there is something for everyone... if you feel like you came at a time where their display case is running low on cupcakes just ask the friendly staff member and they'll check the back... they might just be getting ready to roll out some more. They are pricey but they are delicious with a decent variety of flavors... I think it's different flavors every day! The place is tiny and immaculate. I don't know how often they make them but they also offer gluten-free cupcakes. Also, Smallcakes appeared on the Food Network's "Cupcake Wars" seasons one, two, and seven as well as on the daytime talk show "The View." The shop is located in the Safeway shopping center on Pleasant Grove Blvd / E Roseville Pkwy. It is something like two doors down Safeway. Lots of parking. I've been here twice and I am now currently the Duchess! LoL Review #1308

    I placed an order online Friday for pickup Sunday afternoon…read more On Sunday I was running behind, so I called them 30 minutes before scheduled pickup time and said I would be in to pickup the cake, but that I would be late. The gentleman on the phone said he would write a note for his coworkers. Made it to the bakery an hour after I called and was able to buy some extra treats for the drive home. Our cake was ready. Looked delicious, came with a plastic serrated cake server with two matches and some candles (thank goodness because the ones I had purchased for the cake broke in transit!) It smelled delicious inside and had they had lot of patrons. I was unaware they had coffee as well. We grabbed a matcha donut, strawberry tiramisu, and milk cream bread togo. We'll be back to try more!

    Stopped by a couple hours before closing so there weren't many pastries to choose from. I ordered…read morean Iced Matcha Latte ($5.25) & 3 pastries ($3.65-$5.65 each). It was my first time visiting, I've heard of this franchise before but wasn't aware there was one in Roseville so I was super excited to try. The Matcha Latte wasn't anything special, tasted decent but probably wouldn't order again. I did enjoy the pastries but I would probably come earlier in the day so they're fresh. I spent $20.68 after tip for 4 items. They have a cute aesthetic and good amount of seating as well. Can definitely be an area to get any work done if needed. I didn't receive much service other than checking out at the registers but they were all very nice.

    Visiting Rocking Roseville from San Jose for volleyball at the grounds. I always peep yelp in a new…read morearea to find the best eats and saw this one. First and most important star: Pushkin's is predominantly vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free -- and bakeries that truly excel in all three are one in a million. For anyone with allergies or dietary restrictions, this place feels like winning the lottery. You can actually relax and enjoy treats without feeling like you're settling or taking a risk. Second star: the employees are incredibly friendly and genuinely passionate. One guy (nose ring, long blonde hair -- didn't catch his name) was amazing. He knew the pastries inside and out and patiently walked my wife through allergy questions about dairy-free options, putting her totally at ease. And trust me, my wife can ask a thousand questions (till u wanna choke her).. Another employee -- a short, curly-haired, very light-skinned/mixed Black woman -- was just as gracious when we asked about cashews for our daughter. Both of them were beyond kind and knowledgeable. Third star: great coffee. I only had an Americano, but it was really good -- smooth, rich, and exactly what you want with pastries like these. Fourth star: the place is clean, organized, and clearly well-run. It was busy, but the team handled the crowd efficiently without feeling rushed or chaotic. Fifth star (the fun one): the pastries are ridiculously good. We tried a bunch: * chocolate mud cookie -- perfect crunch on the outside, chewy inside * cinnamon-roll-style pound cake -- super moist and flavorful * cinnamon roll scone * almond cake with raspberry ...and several others I didn't catch the names of. Everything was delicious. You'd never guess these are vegan/gluten-free/dairy-free -- they're just straight-up amazing pastries. Bottom line: Pushkin's is a gem. If you have dietary restrictions, it's a must-visit. If you don't, are you sure you don't? Maybe you should? it's still a must-visit. We'll absolutely be back when in town to check out the cafe and real food items !

    I came here about three years ago and was really impressed, so I was excited to come back…read more Unfortunately, this visit didn't live up to how I remembered it. We ordered several items and so far the flavors just weren't as good as before, which was a little disappointing. Keep in mind I only bought pastries. I won't be back for those. That said, the staff was very nice and friendly, and the service was good. I'm hoping this was just an off day because I remember really enjoying it in the past.

The baristia that helped me was overall nice but the coffee itself lack many things and I was very disappointed. I ordered the Shaken Espresso and asked for sugarfree vanilla with regular milk. They only have 1 size so you don't have much options to choose from. After trying it, I felt like I was just drinking a whole cup of milk, it didn't have ANY espresso/coffee taste in it at all. Note they only have 1 size so its like a large size coffee cup. I brought the coffee back and had asked them to remake it and the barista informed me that it only comes with 1 shot of espresso per drink thus thats why it taste so milky. 1 shot? What? I was so shocked, in such a big cup I would expect at least two shots since the total of it was over $7. Anyways I asked them to remake it with less milk and 5-6 minutes later, it honestly ended up just being worse than earlier... Now it just taste very watery, like a diluted espresso and I can't even drink it. She was nice and helpful but I was disappointed I couldn't enjoy the coffee like I wanted to. So I just tossed the whole cup away, what a waste.
