I was so lucky to find this place! I needed a last minute donut tower for my daughters birthday party and the dessert junkie made it happen! After trying to get ideas on their website, Alexis reached out to me directly and sent me sample pictures of the tower design. She was so friendly and extremely helpful. She definitely left my mind at ease with her warm personality. Not only was the donut tower GORGEOUS but it was also delicious. The flavors I chose were the strawberry crunch, banana pudding, fruity pebbles and the Oreo. These were all delicious! All my guest and I were very impressed with everything. I am so thankful to Alexis and her team! I will recommend this place to everyone I know for every occasion, even just a sweet tooth. And ofcourse I will be going back :) read more

That's why I haven't been here in a while. This place has out-priced everyone's! The bakery down the street is more price effective. I got 6 cupcakes for $15. The service is okay. I don't know how this place stays in business. Nice cupcake spot but too expensive! read more

The Dessert Junkie - $13.61 for 2 cupcakes - Cupcakes Near Me - Bowie, Maryland

I stopped by to try a few of the milkshakes after seeing the photos on the menu and was really looking forward to them. I asked the person at the counter, what was in some of the specialty flavors. The Unicorn? "It's just vanilla." The Mermaid? "It's just vanilla." The Creamsicle? "It's just vanilla." I ended up ordering the Mint Chocolate, Cookie Monster, and an ice cream sundae. Unfortunately, none of them looked anything like the pictures. The milkshakes came in clear plastic cups with what appeared to be plain white shakes, and the sundae was simply vanilla ice cream with a little fudge on top. To make matters worse, they had run out of lids, so my sundae was put in a cup, and then the cup was placed inside a plastic food box container. For a total of $36.94, I expected much better presentation, quality, and consistency with what was advertised. I honestly should have just gone to McDonald's. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. I don't mind paying premium prices for desserts, but I do expect them to resemble the menu photos and deliver on the flavors being promised. Unfortunately, this visit did not meet expectations. RESPONSE: Thank you for your response and for providing additional context. I understand now that many of your specialty shakes begin with a vanilla base. However, that was not communicated to me during my visit. When I asked about the Unicorn, Mermaid, and Creamsicle shakes, I was simply told, "It's just vanilla" for each one. There was no explanation about the mix-ins, toppings, presentation, or what made each specialty item unique. As a customer, I took that to mean that these menu items were essentially the same flavor with different names. I also wasn't informed that the specialty presentation was unavailable due to supply shortages. Had I known that the shakes were normally served in mugs or glass jars, or that my sundae would be packaged in a cup inside a plastic container without a lid, I would have appreciated the opportunity to decide whether I still wanted to proceed or receive a discount. Unfortunately, I didn't take photos because I was trying to carry all three desserts, and the sundae ended up spilling in my car due to the packaging. I understand that supply issues happen, but communication is key. For a nearly $37 purchase, I expected the staff to explain the differences between the menu items and let customers know when the experience being advertised could not be delivered. I hope this feedback helps improve the experience for future customers. read more

Saturday 1/10/26 I've been eying this dessert spot for a while, and today I made it happen. I ended up getting the apple pie cinnamon roll $11.95, biscoff banana pudding $9.95, and the MEGA cookies n cream shake (sub for a chocolate chip muffin) $28.95. - Service was solid and helpful. - Although the apple pie cinnamon roll $12 price tag is a bit much, I still was able to enjoy it. The toppings were nice, especially the cream cheese, but the dough was underwhelming as it was a bit dry and slightly firmer than I usually prefer. - The Biscoff banana pudding was the main pick the staff member recommended, so despite not being the biggest banana pudding guy, I had to try it. Unfortunately, it wasn't anything impressive, but it was cool. Also, the biscuit taste was more so in the background. - The shake was pretty good, but not $29 worth by any means. The cupcake that I got with it LOOKED GREAT, but I can't say the same for the taste, as it was just alright. The Oreo donut was solid. All in all, I'm not really crazy or impressed by any of the items and definitely wouldn't spend that amount of money again (especially on the $29 shake), but I enjoyed the experience. -- #issa.cheatday read more

Decided to grab a quick dessert. Walking inside, the shop is beautiful with beautifully decorated cupcakes and other desserts. I decided on the biscoff cupcake. For 7 bucks, I was expecting perfection, but I was a bit underwhelmed. The icing was really good, but the cupcake was a little dry. The service was okay- I think I was expecting superb service but was left wanting more. With so many options, I would have appreciated a little more intention of walking me through the options. Overall, I'd try them out again but won't go out of my way. read more

Had a horrible experience. My sister and I went to get 2 shakes. We were taken aback with the $30 price for each so since we had already ordered we decided just to get it and lesson learned. Nope the claimed not to have change. We are there waiting and see customers paying in cash and it looks like enough to give us our change if we pay with our hundred dollar bill. Nope they refused. Not sure what kind of business plays games but that was it for us Will never return read more

Aesthetic beautiful location that scream let's get down with the sweets! I did overhear that it was the first day for one or two of the workers and I do appreciate that they have people that more seasoned to assist not only the customers but also their new staff. Unfortunately this wasn't the shop for me. I walked out with 2 cupcakes (strawberry shortcake and a lemon) and couldn't finish either. The icing was too thick to my liking and it didn't taste like cream cheese was used as the base. Now I'm no expert in baking but I did feel like the cupcakes lacked the light airy moist texture that I prefer. Idk it just didn't do it for me. I can't say I wouldn't return but I know that I would pass on the cupcakes and maybe shoot for a milkshake. read more

I've been to this bakery several times since it opened. The cupcakes were moist, artistic and delicious! I go as an expensive treat for special occasions. On Wednesday, I ordered 6 cupcakes for my daughter's birthday and paid $41.02! The cake was dry and the flavor fell flat. This is the second time I was disappointed. I hope the dried out cake is corrected soon. My 8 year old asked for a different birthday treat because her lemon cupcake was not good. And my guests left the dried cupcakes picked through on their plate and threw it in the trash. What a waste of money. I'm sure the owner would not sell this dry cake knowingly. Reply: I would love to discuss. What is a good time and number to call? read more

The Dessert Junkie will take care of any sweet tooth, with their wide variety of cupcakes, milkshakes and cookies. I am overwhelmed every time I enter this store. As soon as you walk in, your are hit with the smell of delicious desserts. Everything is eye catching and tasty. My favorites include the banana pudding and strawberry shortcake cupcake. The banana pudding is just so creamy and the cookies add a bit of crunch. The desserts are a bit pricey but worth the splurge. I wouldn't recommend leaving these cupcakes out , if they even last a day after purchase. I would put it in the fridge. read more

I had a sweet tooth so I went to this establishment to order a cupcake since I had a cheat meal for personal training. There are so many tasty options to choose from and the presentation of all the desserts was on point! I asked the associate which cupcake was her favorite since I had a hard time choosing. She recommended the snickerdoodle cupcake. I love snickerdoodle cookies so I gave it a try. It was really moist and tasty! The cupcake was even topped with a snickerdoodle cookie. The frosting was a tad too sweet so I made a sandwich with some of it. I put it between the cookie and cupcake. That bite was soooo good! I def got a sugar rush but it fixed my sweet tooth so I was pleased. The cupcake was $6 which is a little pricey but it was worth it. They also have a dog section when you walk in with treats. I thought that added a nice touch for us that have dogs! Excited to try more options on my next cheat day! read more

Saw an Instagram video from big schlims about this place and knew I needed to stop by. I called on Thanksgiving eve around 3pm to see if they were open and the person who answered the phone told me they would be open until 6. I raced over and arrived around 4pm. We arrived and were told they were out of almost everything. Kinda blown however they did have the Birthday Cake milkshake which was the main reason I wanted to come for about $25 I think. This seems a bit pricy as Crazy Mason offers 80% the same thing minus the donut. I doubt a donut costs $8 bucks but I understand the need for a profit. The cupcake and donut tasted dry. I've read this in the reviews before but figured I'd give it a shot anyway. While I read they are made fresh daily, they don't taste fresh at all. The overall presentation of the cupcakes and milkshake were great. I can tell they have worked on this. If the taste of the cupcakes matched the presentation this could easily have been a 5 star review however they are lacking. I'm sure I'll get some feedback from the owner as she is quite responsive however I hope she listens to the reviews vs. being so quick to "clap back" as most of her responses on negative reviews are. read more

The desserts are amazing . The service is fast and friendly . The shop also look nice and cozy on the inside.

I have been driving by the Dessert Junkie for some time now wondering when I would stop on in. Found an app that lets you purchase items so they won't go to waste, the Dessert Junkie was an option, soooo why not? Located on Annapolis Road, pretty easy to spot from the road as it faces it. Parking is fair to middling considering the stores in the strip. Once inside, I swear it feels as though you will catch a sugar coma with how great it smells! They had so many options from cakes, to macaroons, cheesecakes, basically any and everything to satisfy your sweet tooth. I got the items from the app (vanilla cupcakes) plus because they looked to die for a small banana pudding (I think) caramel cheesecake. Both desserts were beautiful in presentation and of nice size. I'm not really a banana pudding fan, but I enjoyed the cheesecake, so much that I'd like to go back and try other flavors. The cupcakes were just okay to me, I'm not sure if it's because I didn't let them rest at room temp before scarfing them down or if it's something else. The staff were attentive and kind. A nice place to go if you want to satisfy your sweet tooth, and to patronize a minority owned business. read more

I visited The Dessert Junkie on a Saturday afternoon. The wait was rather long and they were out of most of their cupcake inventory. Having traveled such a long distance just to try them out, I settled for the Oreo cheesecake. It was tasty, definitely fresh, and very rich. The person I was with ordered a milkshake which took over 30 minutes to make, which I was not happy about. I feel like for such a long wait, we should have been notified in advance so that we weren't standing around annoyed. The employees were friendly but this isn't an experience I would rush back for. read more

This is a female black owned business and the owner and the employees were incredibly welcoming! I ordered a birthday cake for my Mom's 80th birthday and my mom was blown away when I presented her cake! The celebration was for the recognition of the women in our family so it was a celebration birthday with all women including my mom, her sisters and her female cousins, her sister in laws and her best friend. I wish they had saved me a slice but I wasn't gonna argue with the old lady gang over a slice of cake. read more

*I forgot to take updated pictures* Last time I was here, it was during the soft opening. It wasn't a lot to choose from since I came later in the day. So, I really wanted to return. I finally got the opportunity to do so. Today, I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door, which made me feel welcome. I didn't get the young ladies' name, but she was friendly and answered all of my questions. I got birthday cake, cookies and cream red velvet, regular red velvet, Twix chocolate, and German chocolate. My daughter and her friend really liked the birthday cake and both red velvets were ok. The chocolate ones were ok too. Overall, the cupcakes aren't the best I've had, but they definitely aren't the worst. I think I prefer my cupcakes with buttercream, so I'll make sure to ask when I return to try the milkshakes. read more

Unless you like babysitting your order from the time you place it until you receive it, DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING FROM THIS BAKERY. This is the SECOND time I placed a cake order with Dessert Junkie more than a week in advance fully paid for, only to find that my order was never made the day I go to pick it up. The first time was for my youngest daughter's first birthday. The owner claimed it was a disgruntled employee trying to sabotage her business and had a cake made at 50% off and delivered it to me that evening. I gave them the benefit of the doubt because their cakes are pretty and tasty. This time, I placed an order for my older daughter's birthday more than a week in advance and fully paid for only for me to arrive to excuses about how the cashier who I actually placed the order with didn't process it because she was "rushing" and my daughter's cake was never made. This time the owner was out of town and there was no time to fix it. My daughter was deeply disappointed because she wanted her "Moana" cake. They offered cupcakes to compensate and the owner was apologetic. But again, this is the SECOND time they have messed up my order so I will NOT be patronizing them again. Alexis has good products but she needs to completely revamp how her business is run because that level of ineptitude from her employees is UNACCEPTABLE. I never thought I would be cursing out a baker and cashier on a Sunday morning but Dessert Junkie brought that out of me. NEVER AGAIN!!! Now Alexis the owner is LYING stating that I threw a manager's phone down. I used choice words to express my frustration and disappointment with YOUR subpar service that happened TWICE, but no phone was thrown anywhere. Furthermore, disrespect is messing up someone's special occasion and thinking some ready made cupcakes rectifies the situation. To see you respond with LIES, and little accountability displays why your business is run so poorly. STOP BEING DEFENSIVE AGAINST SOMEONE WHO TRIED TO SUPPORT YOU AND REDIRECT THAT ENERGY TO FIX HOW YOUR BUSINESS IS RUN SO IT STOPS HAPPENING MOVING FORWARD!!! TASTY CAKES, BUT DISGUSTING SERVICE AND MANAGEMENT!!! read more

So glad I stopped in this beautiful little shop for a treat. For some time, I'd been watching from afar on social media, tempted by pics of the elaborate desserts offered, especially those milkshakes. WOW! Too intimidated to attempt one by myself, I explained to the young lady that greeted me that I was just looking for something small to enjoy. With her friendly, patient guidance, and couple delicious samples, I ended up with a scoop of banana pudding ice cream topped with Biscoff cookie butter and Biscoff crumbles. OMG! After just one bite, I wanted to run back in from the parking lot where I sat devouring my purchase and compliment the staff for an brilliant choice. However, my greedy spirit sat right there and continued to shovel bite after bite into my mouth. That was just enough dessert to hit the spot for my sweet tooth and curiosity without feeling like I was breaking the bank or sending myself into insulin shock. That said, I highly recommend that everyone go check them out. Whether you are looking for a showpiece dessert or just a small taste of something really good, The Dessert Junkie has us covered. read more

It's good to see a bakery that we can call "local". Rather you need cupcakes, or something sweet for a celebration they make it and more. After several weeks...months of driving by and not stopping today was the day. So I ordered. The customer service was good, not great but good and acceptable. The clerk wasn't the most talkative but she answered all of my questions. She also struggled placing the cupcakes in the box, simply put she smushed them. So either they need a bigger box for their cupcakes or they need to make a slightly smaller cupcake. No big deal...this time. As for the taste. It was just okay, not great, not bad, not good, "just okay". BUT I didn't try everything another is reason to go back and see what is actually earning the 4 and 5 star reviews I saw. It's got to be something so I'm on the hunt. Until now 3 stars is all I can give because they earned it. read more

What a cutie patootie shop!!! It's a dessert junkies dream come true! So fancy...so prissy...so me! Just a super adorable shop! I've been eyeing The Dessert Junkie for a while, but my work-out regimen, nor my personal trainer has allowed me to give it a try. *major eye roll* Since the BFF was having a birthday, I knew this was the perfect excuse, I mean occasion to stop by. I came in and was cheerfully greeted by the staff behind the counter. I eyed all the items they had to offer. Cupcakes, cookies, cake pops, Rice Krispie treats, milkshakes, etc. I ordered the cupcakes. Snickerdoodle, Birthday Cake, Chocolate Chip Cookie, and Strawberry Crunch. I also ordered red velvet and peanut butter cookies. I was a bit irritated when I got home, because I realized I was given a banana cookie instead of peanut butter. I wasn't pleased with the taste of it either. Sigh! The cupcakes and the red velvet cookie on the other hand were out of this world delicious! Very moist cake and decadent frosting, equals a substantially good and quality cupcake. The BFF loved her selection as well. I can honestly say very easily, that these were the best cupcakes I've eaten in a very long time. Since I'm not a huge cake eater in the first place, for me to say that, is BIG! The prices are a bit steep for cupcakes, but for the quality you're getting, It's worth it! Although, for a dozen, you may have to take out a loan. Yikes. Nevertheless, still worth it. From what I gathered, you can customize your cake/cupcakes by placing orders in advance and they even make MONSTER MILKSHAKES! I need to come back and check those out! All and all, I was very impressed with my first of many visits to come to The Dessert Junkie! I can now say, I'm an official DESSERT JUNKIE! read more

I'm always on the lookout out for a cupcake or dessert spot, and this place is a black-owned, too! I walked in to such a vibrant and beautiful shop and was instantly greeted by friendly staff. The first thing I saw was a huge balloon arch, and apparently the owner specializes in making them for different events. I spoke with, who I believe is a manager at this location, and she was telling me all about the origins of the business and how they only opened a little over a month ago. She also told me that the owner has a doggie treat business, so there were a lot of doggie treats in the shop as well. Now, about the desserts! They sell cupcakes, chocolate covered strawberries, Rice Krispie treats, gummy candies, cake pops... I literally did not know what to choose. The manager described all the cupcake flavors to me to help me decide, and there are so many unique flavors! I ended up choosing their vanilla and the strawberry crunch. This was probably one of the best vanilla cupcakes I've ever had. The strawberry crunch was amazing too. It even had a vanilla Oreo on the bottom of the cupcake, which added an extra crunch to it. I also bought watermelon gummy candies that I've been munching on all day. They are very sweet and very delicious. This is probably my new favorite dessert spot, and I can honestly see myself coming here an unhealthy amount of times haha. read more
