    Now I consider myself a cupcake snob so I'm hard to impress! We were at the houseboat for the week and wanted something sweet and gourmet. My husband went here and picked us up 6 cupcakes. I couldn't believe it when he said there was no workers there lol but I really love the concept now. He was able to take time and look at the cupcakes and the flavors. I had the tuxedo one night and the salted Carmel the next. Tuxedo was ABSOLUTELY amazing and the frosting was OH SO good!!! Such a cute idea!

    Many changes have occurred over the years. The second location they used to have is no more, but they apparently offer a cupcake vending machine at the university. The downtown shop has prepackaged cupcakes that you pick up yourself, which aren't boxed and labeled by hand as they used to be. But you can't question the quality. The myriad toppings give way to a delicate buttercream center that is sure to please. They offer the occasional cupcake for special diets, which don't look as fancy but in my experience do taste the part. Having stopped back in on this occasion, I can't tell you whether the cupcakes are truly as good as they used to be, because I bought them for a crowd and the crowd ate all of them.

    Stop by the shop and got the Keylime pie cupcake $5. It a very soft cake with amazing cream. The key lime flavor was just right with the sour and sweet ratio. Surprisingly one of the top 3 cupcakes I've ever had. Very glad I just stumbled across this shop as I was visiting the area. I would definitely come back if I come back to the area!

    The Peppered Cupcake is a self-serve cupcake shop conveniently located near the Cape Fear River. They have a great selection of rotating items that are all on display in the shop. We decided on the Coffee Cream cupcake for a post-dinner snack. The ordering and paying process was pretty straightforward, and we liked how we could take our time looking through the different displays. The cupcake itself was surprisingly quite moist! The frosting and caramel drizzle on top were also nice, though a little on the sweet side. We would recommend stopping in if you have a sweet tooth or want to check out some novel flavors!

    The cupcakes were amazing! It's a cute little shop that you can select and bag your own cupcakes. You pay by scanning a QR code. There was no staff in the store area when I went.

    Black velvet!

    I was able to try these because they were given to my brother-in-law from his volleyball team and I was delightfully impressed at how yummy these cupcakes were! The flavor I tried was Black Velvet... it was a dark chocolate with a cream cheese frosting and vanilla cream center...yummm! It was moist and decadent. The frosting was so light and I couldn't help sticking my finger in it to try it. One of my favorite things to do when I lived near WDW was to try all the yummy cupcakes at the different resorts. After trying one of these and seeing the amazing flavors they have, I'm super excited to keep my cupcake tradition going by trying all the Peppered Cupcake flavors! Very excited to visit this location...this may be as close as you get to cupcake heaven here in the Wilmington area ;)

    Tasty cupcakes! We had chocolate peanut and toasted cookies. We love the self serve concept and how everything is hand made.

Now I'm gluten free, dairy free and processed free person. I was very disappointed for 2 people two teas and take home munchies was close to $70.00 for two people. That is a grocery shopping experience for a gluten free diet person for two . Yes you can eat that way if ya know what, how and where to find your food from. It's a place I'd personally rather visit once in a blue moon. My Italian heritage and visiting Italy I will cook and eat Italy way! I starred it for its pricing Everything else is five stars The prices are way too high.

    First time making an order via this company. Ordered a country loaf, sourdough pizza dough, and a…read morecinnamon raisin loaf. All items were ready when I arrived to pick them up. The location is super cozy with an inviting space perfect for your WFH day or to meet up with friends. Let's start with the highs! The pizza dough and country loaf are perfect. Our family really enjoyed stretching the dough, creating the pizza shape we wanted, and then adding our toppings. I will say try to make it on the thinner side so that it will bake all the way through on the baking stone. The raisin bread loaf has great flavor, however the loaf I received was too overdone, almost burned. This has made it unpleasant to eat for our family. When I stopped in to pick up these items I also grabbed a savory danish egg & cheese and a caramel latte. Both were delicious!
