    Signature cup cake! It was delicious!
    Miranda C.

    You HAVE to visit the pink box! This bakery is tucked away in the back of the Harbour view marketplace (close to the theater and cold stone).. When you walk in, it's bright, clean and very well organized. This delicious little sweet haven is proudly a black, woman owned business! Ms. Gwen & her employees are absolutely the nicest most customer oriented around. I came in for a Yelp event & after getting a taste, I was eager to have MORE so I came back to purchase more. Her cupcakes are so moist & fresh! There is no artificial taste, only natural blissful flavors. The strawberry cupcake had a creamy yummy jam type consistency hidden in the middle, that just made the flavor profile EXPLODE. The caramel cupcake was the perfect balance of sweet and savory! I love when you have a sweet topping & the cake isn't overly worked with sugar! NAILED IT. Their signature pink iced cupcake also did not disappoint. I consider myself a cake type dessert lover but honestly Gwen has switched me over to puddings! Her banana pudding was a taste of PURE HEAVEN. It had the right amount of creamy, crunch and did not feel heavy like banana pudding can tend to be! I'm actually planning another trip back this week to purchase a couple. Last but certainly not least, the homemade pink lemonade was so refreshing & really hit the spot after a variety of sweets. Suffolk is a little far from my house in Hampton but after speaking with Gwen, she says they spotlight at the farmers market in Yorktown so both sides of the water can truly indulge! DO NOT MISS OUT on The Pink Box- these ladies are incredible & such good people. Support local & tell them I sent you! Thank you so much Pink Box.

    Salted caramel, chocolate, red velvet, lemon (delivered through 3rd party which is why the toppings are messed up, no fault of the bakery)

    My fiancé had these delivered to our apartment after finding the bakery on Yelp so I can only comment on the cupcakes themselves. Unfortunately, the delivery service was poor so the cupcakes were flipped over by the time we opened the box, no fault of the bakery though. The cupcakes were tasty! I really enjoyed the moist cake and the flavors of each cupcake (chocolate, caramel, red velvet, lemon). My favorite was probably the salted caramel because it was a subtle taste. I personally wasn't a huge fan of the icing because it was too sugary/sweet for my taste. I look forward to going to the bakery and trying out the cupcakes there!

    We ordered two cupcakes,one being the Strawberry delight and the other Red Velvet.The Strawberry delight has a strawberry-like filling. They both tasted very good! The service was Ok. We reallyyyyy loved the decor of the place. It was also very clean and nicely set up. Overall rating 4.3 . Go check them out! Follow our social media platforms for more content @Brunchbabez757

    Very dry, like it's either older or overbaked.

    Went in expecting a moist delicious Cupcake, with the tart lavor of lemon curd inside, sadly I was disappointed. My first visit and my last, decided to try 1 lemon cupcake, and was told there was lemon curd inside. Initial disappointment came when I opened the box, the cupcake was not the same sizes as the ones in the display case, as the cake portion was much smaller & hidden under alot of frosting. The display case had cupcakes with the cake above the level of cupcake paper, peeking out feom under a smaller amount of frosting all the way around. Mine did not, exactly opposite with cake well below the level of paper and a load of frosting in attempt to try and make the cupcake look bigger than it was. Taste was decent, a little tart like lemon curd may have been used in the batter, BUT there was no lemon curd inside or on top of this cupcake-as you can see in photos. Texture was VERY DRY, literally tasted like a cupcake that was either older or overbaked. Definitely NOT worth $3.50 plus tax for this cupcake, making it $3.94! I can and have made much better cupcakes at home, and was expecting so much more from a cupcake shop that specializes in them. ​

    Vanilla Bean, Key Lime, Cookies n Creme.  Simply the best!

    These cupcakes are well presented in the shop with a no worries electronic check out if you so choose. I bought four but they didn't all make it to the shoot, "One simply must have dessert after a meal." The cupcakes were well balanced in flavor, with the icing complimenting the cakes. The cakes were soft and moist even the one I had with filling was well balanced. Hands down the best cupcakes I've ever eaten.

    If you're looking for a cupcake with great frosting look no further, The Pink Box is good and the customer service was awesome! The reason I give them 4 stars is because when we got our cupcakes the frosting tasted like it had been sitting out a while. I ordered. Cookies n' Cream, Strawberry Lemonade, Salted Caramel, Strawberry, Fruity Pebbles, and Red Velvet cupcakes. My favorite was the Salted Caramel and Strawberry Lemonade one. However, in terms of freshness, I wouldn't say they're the best but the girl working there was awesome! I signed up for a rewards account with them and it said the 10% was applied but the thing didn't apply at checkout so after leaving, she called and informed me that the discount was not applied and said that next time she would give us a free cupcake. I would return if in the area again!

    Cinnamon roll cupcake
    Charmaine B.

    So I kinda have mixed feelings about this place... I ordered curbside pickup, and I tried the cinnamon roll cupcake. I was a little disappointed with the size of the cupcake. It was a bit on the smaller side compared to most cupcake places I've been to, and costs just as much and a little higher. I was also a little disappointed with how the cupcake was decorated. It was just plain icing, no special touches or decorations. I have seen some better decorated ones online, so I wonder if I just got unlucky with this one. Idk but it looked as if I could have made at home, which sucked. But besides that the flavors were very good. The icing had a good amount of sweetness; not overpowering. And it did taste like a cinnamon roll. And the associate that served me was polite. The only other sad part about the experience was the cupcake definitely didn't taste fresh. It tasted like it was made maybe a day or two before. So Im still fighting with myself, I'm not sure if I'll come back.

    Before I start, let me start off by saying that this review is based solely upon my personal…read moreexperiences and my personal experiences alone, so with that being said let's begin!. I have been to this location on a number of different occasions. They often change the flavors of their signature bundtlets every so often to keep you wondering what the next flavor may be. They currently have s'mores but they sell out so quickly so if you really want some flavors you may have to come quite early in the day after they open for business!. The younger gentleman in the store was very polite and answered every question with overwhelming confidence and enthusiasm, that is almost felt like he rehearsed his lines before his shift!. Of course I am joking about rehearsing his lines, but seriously he was top tier in customer service!. You walk in and you see the open flow of the store immediately after walking in. As well of the smell of fresh baking going on in the back!. Everything is clean and always looks great, spotless clears so you don't see any dust particles or any other debris laying around. What you do see is different cake displays behind the clear glass with many options to choose from ( other than some of the popular cakes that are featured)!!.. Banana pudding is the latest flavor that has come out for a limited time, so if you're interested you may have to make your way to your nearest location before they're all sold out for the day!!... I left one star off because if you're advertising certain products and you are selling out before the end of a business day, then you supply should be plentiful.. remember it's based on my opinion at the time of the review!!..

    It makes me really sad to write this review. I love to support small and local…read more I have only ever had their cupcakes sold individually at a Moyock farm market, but I've tried at least 5 different flavors. They always LOOK so delicious, fun and exciting! But...I have never in my life spit out a cupcake, or any kind of cake. I LOVE cake. First time trying them was a couple years ago, and they were unicorn-y looking, and sparkly, and gorgeous. But just not good. Thought I'd try them again 2 days ago and these 3 flavors: Ube, Strawberry (in case I didn't like the Ube), and Chocolate Cheesecake. The Ube was actually fine, and the best of the 3. But I still tossed half of it because it was so dry. SO dry, like sawdust. And sadly, I literally spit out the first bite of both the Strawberry and the Choc Cheesecake. Even drier than the Ube, but worse, they tasted...spoiled, if that's possible. Sadly, I only remembered to take a photo of the last one. I just don't understand! Most other reviews are so great! Maybe you have to order them fresh and not in a retail outlet. Or maybe the farm market gets them a week old or something... or the frosting is only good for one day. ?? Sad face.

I saw Carolina…read moreCupcakery, and had 30 minutes to kill so we headed over there to get some sweet treats. Upon entering we were greeted warmly. She engaged in various conversations. She even helped me choose my cupcakes and answered any questions we had. I loved seeing all the examples of cakes they do, displayed throughout. I opted for a 4 pack. Whenever I am trying new cupcakes I have a method to my madness. I have to get a fruit one, a chocolate cake based, a vanilla cake based and a surprise. I ended up choosing a lemon cupcake, a vanilla cupcake, a chocolate cupcake and an Ube cupcake. The all tasted nice. The flavors were not over powering at all. I did not taste lemon in icing too much. Out of the 4 flavors I purchase, the Une was the best. Even my coworkers voted on the Ube cupcake being the best. The chocolate cupcake I chose... can't remember the flavor, but it was ok. It didn't wow me. I would definitely visit again.

If you recall a few months prior, I only had a slice of cake and fell in love. This time around, I ordered a sheet cake and some cupcakes for the kiddos. Everyone was thoroughly pleased! I only kept raving about this baker for months... the day came for all to taste and see what the hype was about! I ordered a strawberry lemonade flavor for the children and a strawberry champagne for the adults. This cake was super rich, I could only eat one good sized slice. But I made sure I had more for later. I think the cake lasted a good week and every day I had a slice and it kept tasting better and better. Now if you want to treat yourself, check her out! Her customer service is on point as well. I placed an order online and receive word via email about someone contacting me about my order. It may have been an hour that went by before I noticed an email in my inbox from the bakery. My daughter kept changing her mind on what type of party(ies) she wanted. As a result, I at least reached out to the bakery via email three times before my order was final and the flavoring and design was set. Each time the contact person, I believe it was the owner, she was super professional and continued to work with me and my different arrangements until everything was final. I understand she has tens maybe hundreds of orders each month, but she was focused on getting my order right and making sure I was satisfied. All in all, I wholeheartedly recommend you give this baker a try. Make sure you check her office hours online, but I'm thinking someone is always monitoring the email. At this time with all the turmoil going on in the world, I believe she is offering delivery of baked goods. I noticed she's offering a KETO style cookie too. I think I am going to try those. real soon. Her masterpieces and gifted hands are worth every cent. Support local, Buy local! Have fun and enjoy life :)
