Absolutely love the cupcakes here. I've had the opportunity to try a red velvet cupcake (regular batter) a few years ago and really enjoyed it. But more recently, I tried a dairy free version of the red velvet cupcake (picture attached) and loved it even more. It was very delicious and not overly sweet (just the perfect amount of sweetness). The service is awesome. Each time I've spoken to them over the phone or in person, it's been a great experience so I can't complain. The only thing I would say is that if you need to contact them for anything, your best bet to get a quick response is by calling them. You may not get a quick response if you try to email them or contact them via social media... so call them. The other thing too is I was a little surprised at the size of the cupcake I got. I ordered the 'big cupcake' which essentially should be bigger than the regular but it just felt like it was a regular size cupcake with extra layers of icing to make it a 'big cupcake' Overall though, great experience read more

I arrived today and they werent open at posted time 11am. Very inconvenient. Will not be shopping here now.

Great selection of cupcakes picked up for wife bday would recommend going early but had a really good selection available when I went after work around 5pm read more

Amazing!!! Can't believe this is in Coquitlam... the cupcakes were perfect. So nice and fluffy. I got the double chocolate vegan cupcakes.... I'm going to say it, it was the best I've had so far. And if their vegan cupcakes were good, then their original ones must a gift from heaven. 10 out of 10 would recommend!!! Also the staff were the most wonderful and helpful people ever!! read more

They have vegan option. I ordered the cakes for birthday. They are so cute and tasty. read more

Asked for rainbow cupcakes, manager said they can make them, even gave them a pic of exactly what I wanted. They gave me slime-looking like cupcakes. Terrible. End up with simple looking white icing cupcakes with rainbow sprinkles, which I could have made myself! Only decided to order because I needed multi-coloured icing that I don't know screw up on for my son's bday party! N yup, they screwed them up big time. Only got half of my money back. Not ever coming back again. read more

I ordered cupcakes with pearly icing, but got regular dull icing withsuperstore grade decoration. The person who took the order said they still have the pearly pink icing. When I walked in to pick up, I sensed the decoration of the cupcakes looked terrible compared to a year ago. They said the owner has changed about a few months ago. They didn't offer for any discount but just put extra sparkles... The cupcakes itself was so distorted, too. I thought they used the cupcakes that were made by kids who were having a birthday party there. I will not pay for extra for this kind of cupcakes. It is not worth it. read more

I'm a sucker for cupcakes, so I was excited to find a cupcake place in Coquitlam. Clever Cupcakes focuses on making 100% natural, preservative free cupcakes in their nut free facility. They also make a limited number of gluten free cupcakes, and can accommodate vegan, egg-free, or dairy-free cupcakes with 24 hours notice. This is quite rare for a cupcake place! The store front itself is small (nestled in beside Kin's Farm Market) but the store is very bright and clean. They offer a large variety of mini ($1.40 each) and regular cupcakes ($3.15 each) in a variety of flavours. They also make "big" cupcakes for $7. If you order multiple cupcakes, the boxes they supply are the best I've seen for cupcake transport, and $31 for 12 cupcakes isn't completely out to lunch. I purchased a regular chocolate cupcake with strawberry icing. The cupcake portion itself was fantastic! It had a great chocolate flavour and wasn't too rich. The icing however was just mediocre. It was definitely "healthier" than icing at other cupcake places, but it didn't have that strong strawberry flavour I was looking for. Overall, Clever Cupcakes is a great find in the Coquitlam area if you want to satisfy your sweet tooth without the guilt. However, I wish their icing was a bit better (even though the cupcake makes up for it)! 3.5 stars. read more

We had my daughter's birthday here, and it was so great! The party host was so enthusiastic and patient with the kids, and the cupcakes were great. They had a whole schedule for the kids to go through, like touring the kitchen, making fondant decorations, etc. So nice for us parents to be able to sit back and watch and not have to plan anything. Definitely would recommend them for parties. read more

My sister took me to this cupcake place which is amazing. What makes it amazing, other than using 50% less sugar than the other cupcakes, is that the flavor is actually in the batter unlike other cupcakes (whose name I will not mention) who just have the flavoring on the icing. No preservatives and or trans fat. It's a sometimes treat, however, a treat that you can feel good about. The cupcakes are better priced than the boxed chain store (you know who you are your reality TV show wh0res). I love lemon and lime, that is it. I have a very specific taste pallet. There was 1 mini lime cupcake and the b*tch in front of me took it on purpose for her "random assortment" of cupcakes for what I suspect was a party. She only bought that cupcake 'cause my sister and I were talking about it. She also was grumpy (the lady who bought the lime mini and had a permanent b*tch face). I hope that she has a nightmare tonight of a giant lime squeezing her. At least I have something to look forward to next time...a lime mini. The guy at the til was super friendly. read more

BEST CUPCAKES EVER! We've been customers for the past eight years and were never disappointed either by the service or the lovely cupcakes. Highly recommend! read more

Placed an order online 2 weeks before a birthday party for a dozen of their mocha cupcakes. I called in a week afterwards to make sure my order was confirmed (I didn't receive an email) and it turns out they didn't receive my online order initially. Perhaps a system glitch, but I would definitely follow up with a phone call if you ever decide to place an order online. But everything was smooth sailing afterwards. I picked the cupcakes, paid at the till and was VERY happy with the quality. Smooth, fresh and had a good amount of mocha flavouring to it. Definitely worth the $31. I'll keep them in mind for any future parties. read more

Who ever thought that a cupcake made healthy would taste that great? When I think of half the sugar and no preservatives I think of the glutten free bread (yuck). These cupcakes are damn good. I absolutely love the chocolate, and the red velvet with the cream cheese icing. Every time I go to Coquitlam centre I pop in and see what the flavor of the day is. Apparently you can do kids bday parties there as well as have them do custom orders for special events. I just may take them up on that opportunity. No harm in enjoying and not feeling guilty right after. read more

Had our gender reveal cupcakes made by them - and they turned out beautifully! Their attention to details, and flavor profile was beyond on point! Highly recommend :) read more

Ah, the elusive fifth star. Clever Cupcakes, you've earned yours from me today. I've shown my face here a handful of times since my first visit and review. Every flavor I've tried has been delicious, but alas, I still hadn't gotten my paws on the banana cream cheese cupcake that I so desperately wanted! Every time I go in, "Banana cream cheese today?" No. No, no, no, no, no, not today! They only pop out on Thursdays and Saturdays, two days which I am ALWAYS working. Today being a typical working Saturday, I decided to take a stroll over to my (now) favorite cupcakery after my shift in the hopes that there would be some banana goodness left for me. It must've been a busy day, because there were literally two cupcakes left, neither of which were the one I wanted. Apparently, I'm a difficult face to forget, because no sooner did I gaze upon the empty cupcake display with sorrow, the man working told me that he had a hunch that I would show up today, and that he set aside a banana cream cheese cupcake for me! It's service like this that keeps me coming back. I would recommend this place to anybody. Oh, and the cupcake? Everything I dreamed of and more. Thanks, CC, for making my crappy day at work just a little bit sweeter! read more

We the just bought roughly 30 cupcakes for a gender reveal party. The customer service was good but we are really disappointed with the final product. We asked for each cupcake to have a colored filling to tell our friends and family if we are having a boy or girl. Unfortunately there is almost no filling in the cupcake. It ruins the moment when guests are struggled to see what color was inside because there was so little. I would steer clear from this shop for our next special event and use another bakery. read more

I gotta admit, their cupcakes are delicious! The cupcake itself tasted not to sweet, yet not to plain. Their icing feels natural, once again not too sweet yet not too plain! My favourite cup quake there was the chocolate one, but my biggest concern comes here. Each cupcake costs 3.15$, it may be average/cheaper or pricy depending on your perspective. However, I find it a bit over my borderline. Another thing I need to talk about is the price for birthday parties. Each child costs 20$ and is provided with two cupcakes+two pea sized icing moulds. I do not find the price reasonable, but I do want this store to stay strong. I prefer not to leave negative reviews ( unless it's really just that bad) so I'm giving 4 stars for the exquisite flavour! (minus 1 star with prices) read more

I love this little cute shop. Great thing about this place you can order allergy free cupcakes. My friends have food allergies to egg and gluten and it's very hard to find a bakery that would accommodate this. We ordered couple times and both times we really enjoyed it. This bakery also uses less sugar and cream cheese for their icing which makes you feel it's actually not that bad for you. Highly recommend to order from them or just grab a few when you visit Kin's market next door. read more

Most delicious cupcakes I've ever had from a cupcake store! This place is a bit hard to see from the street, as it's tucked beside Kin's Farm Market, but I'm so happy that I found it! Very friendly staff and a super cute store. read more

On a typically rainy day on the wet coast, I decided to venture out with my son to Coquitlam. Why Coquitlam you ask? Well, I was in search of cupcakes. I had heard that a fairly new cupcakery happened to carry a gluten free version. And you know I will travel just about anywhere for cupcakes. The bakery also uses all natural ingredients. Say no more, where do I sign up? Their bake shop was clean and had a small seating area with nice decor. I ordered 2 vanilla cupcakes for myself and my son. The cupcake itself was tasty, and not too sweet, although a bit heavier than some I have had in the past. The frosting was a nice departure from the sickly sweet icing that you typically find on a cupcake. It was more like a custard, and was delicious! They have vanilla and chocolate gluten free cupcakes. Its a great idea for birthday parties, so your child doesn't feel left out, or for treating yourself. It is not a dedicated gluten free facility, but the owner assured me that they do their best to prevent cross-contamination, and use separate pans. Try them out! Close to Coquitlam Centre. www.theclevercupcakes.com read more

So disappointed! The cupcakes I ordered were lopsided and EXTREMELY dry. Unfortunately, the worst cupcake I've ever had.

I come and buy the cupcakes in dozens to satisfy my sweet tooth from time to time. My favorite is the kind with cream cheese icing. The texture of the cake itself is perfect, soft but never too moist/oily. It's made with natural ingredients too, which eases my guilt when I give into sweet cravings. There is seating area in the store to relax with a coffee and a cupcake. The facility is extremely clean as well. The cupcake is slightly pricy however, but it compensates for ingredients and yumminess. read more

Very cute place, very friendly people and absolutely amazing cupcakes. I am not a cupcake person myself but I tried some with my daughter and wow, it's so good! read more

They are located near Coquitlam Center. Their cupcakes are made by natural ingredients. They are delicious, and not too sweet. Even though I am not a big fan for sweets, I can eat 3 of those mini ones at a time! Definitely worth trying! read more

Great tasting cupcakes.they normally have a special with mobile bandit and it's a great deal..it is a bit pricey but it's worth it..

I'm a fan! This past weekend was my first time ordering cupcakes from this place and I don't regret it at all!! I ordered customized batman cupcakes for my good friend's birthday!! Juan (the owner) was very helpful, friendly, and professional!!! He was prompt in his email replies, ensured he answered all my questions, and delivered results that exceeded my expectations. I was very pleased with the delicous, moist taste and overall presentation. I will definitely order more cupcakes from them. The cupcakes are a bit pricey but well worth it. read more

Didn't taste too much different than the Safeway brand I usually eat. My boyfriend dropped one of his all over his jeans and the guys working there just stared at us. No napkin no help. I don't understand this place, always walk by and growl at it under my breath. read more

I love clever cupcakes because it's a very cute cupcake place which uses natural ingredients and the cupcakes taste amazing!

I drove 20min out of my way to get cupcakes for my nephews birthday. I purchased 6 regular for $19. They were horrible, all over baked, dry and the icing tasted like butter no other flavour. The coconut one wasn't a coconut batter as the sign indicated it was a spice cake. The chocolate one tasted like a bran muffin. So disappointed read more

This place would easily receive a fifth star from me if they extended their hours. It took me months before I could finally make it into the store because with my class schedule, I was always arriving there half an hour late. However, it was on my list of places I wanted to visit as it is on my way home and I really love cupcakes. My mistake is that I assumed that the shop would be open hours that reflected those of the mall, which include extended hours on certain days. Perhaps the location is more looking for larger orders than my craving for a singular cupcake on my way home, but I would frequent the location much more if I could swing by after dinner. I am not thinking cupcakes in the late afternoon when the focus is on savory. However, this issue is not enough to tarnish my opinion of the place. The flavours are fantastic and they offer a great selection in their showcase. Quite literally everything looked good and choosing was difficult. When I finally selected a mint chocolate one, I was amazed at the quality. While spending that much on a singular baked good is usually unappealing to me, this purchase was worth it and one I will definitely make again. I also enjoyed that they were 50% less sugar and I felt like I was making a (slightly) healthier choice while the final product tasted better than a standard cupcake. The atmosphere of the shop is perfect. It is cute, clean, and the man working was super friendly and helpful in the transaction. If you can manage to fit a trip in your schedule and love cupcakes, you need to try this place. read more

The best vegan cupcakes I have every purchased. Their regular non vegan cupcakes are right up there with the best I've tried as well. Being 50% less sugar is a real bonus. They're a little pricey but otherwise I love it. Will definitely be back for more! read more

I bought these for my grandson's birthday - 8 children ages 5-9 and not one finished a cupcake. They ate the icing and left the rest. We had chocolate & strawberry and neither was a hit. They were heavy, dry and tasteless. For $27.00, it was a waste of money - next time I'll do a mix or buy a cake. read more

Great service and better yet GREAT CUPCAKES!! The first time I visited, there was the cutest little kid's Birthday Party :) So far I have tried the Coconut and the Mango cream cheese - SO YUMMY! The cake is so moist and the frosting is not too sweet! This is by far the BEST cupcake place I have ever visited and will keep on visiting. They have NATURAL ingredients so the price paid is WORTH IT!!! read more

Terrible customer service! I ordered some strawberry cupcakes for my daughter's birthday party and when I opened them up at home, they didn't have any pinkish color to them. I thought this may be because they only use fresh natural ingredients and called to see if it was normal. The assured me it was as the strawberry is pureed into the batter. However, the next day for the party, they had no strawberry flavor! And no sign of strawberry inside! You would think there would be some pink color to them. I emailed them to let them know and they didn't even acknowledge my concern. I have yet to hear from them about this. It was my first and LAST visit. I will never go there again! What kind of customer service is this! Too bad as I like to support local businesses! In addition, they screwed up my original order as I also ordered 2 gluten free mini cupcakes, 1 vanilla and 1 chocolate. I ended up getting 2 vanilla. I called to re-order (as the icing was disturbed) and the next day, when we went to pick them up, they were full size cupcakes. They were not very understanding, just saying that this was what was written on the order form. In addition, the icing looked terrible. When we complained, the said it was because they were gluten and dairy free. Still.....it looked terrible. Not only that, they pass on the blame to my husband saying he came before the agreed upon pick up time of 11:15 am. He may have been no more than 5 min early as he went after my daughter's soccer game which ended at 11:00. Can't believe they are blaming it on him. So, if you still choose to use them, don't go early at all......they apparently just do a rush job as oppose to a quality product. Also, I didn't find these cupcakes to be anything special. Definitely not worth any extra money. So, don't waste it. Go to another local bakery. Ultimately, very poor way to handle customers. read more

Customer service at this place is TERRIBLE. I sent my coworker here to buy some cupcakes for another coworker's birthday, and it was a complete disaster. They were out of regular sized cupcakes, so they gave him mini ones, but the box they put them in was clearly for larger cupcakes, so they all fell through the cardboard holes in the holder and were a total mess. He called to explain, and they tried to suggest it was his driving or that he did something wrong. I even tested my theory and put one of the mini cupcakes in the cardboard holder, and it fell right through. This caused problems, because we had to send another coworker out to buy new cupcakes at the last minute. We called the place and emailed, but they wouldn't do anything or respond. It's so unfortunate, because it's so easy to fix. Apologize and give a refund or new cupcakes. My coworker just gave up and didn't bother trying to take the destroyed cupcakes back. They clearly put them in the wrong holder, and they need proper packaging for mini cupcakes. read more
