Maya Angelou quote! I love.
Tequealla S.

Very cute place with vegan friendly options! Staff are always kind and informative. I've had 3 of their vegan cupcake flavors and they were extremely rich and yummy. Will return seeing there aren't many vegan dessert options at most bakeries I've visited.

Cannoli brownie
Lizzie R.

Loooveee this bakery! Their cupcakes are yummy but sometimes I like their other items more. One of my favorite items is always either sold out or wasn't made that day when I go- lil' Krissy's. They're delicious swiss rolls. I love their Nutella stuffed cookies, too. For Father's Day, we picked up a 4 pack of cupcakes & a cannoli brownie. Our favorite (surprisingly) was the cotton candy milkshake. I would have never expected it but the frosting wasn't too sweet & the inside had marshmallow. It was so good! The PB Stout brownie was good, too. But hands down the best thing was the cannoli brownie. The cannoli filling is perfect and their brownies are amazing. I'm usually not a huge fan of bakery brownies but these are near perfect. It was very rich though so I'd recommend splitting it or saving half for later. They post their daily menu on Instagram which I find super helpful. The store itself is super cute but the parking can be tricky sometimes since it's in a busy area. There's a small lot for the bakery itself but it fills up quickly. Otherwise there's street parking but that can be tough to find on weekends. I love bringing my out of state friends here, too. They always love it!

Very impressive and worthy of my time and money :) I've been a customer of TQC for YEARS, and let me tell ya, I am NEVER disappointed. From wedding cakes, to birthday cakes, to just because treats- the care is always incredible and the final touches speak volumes to the detail they add to all their goodies. I also have never had difficulty finding seating or parking at TQC, hence why I keep going back ;). Definitely add this place to your list, especially your return list. You will not regret it :). Those who get it, get it! Thank you so much, TQC team! You make my holidays and all my events that much more exciting and tasty. Support your local small & woman owned business :)

Snowy day in Worcester, stumbled into this cute cupcake/pastry place. Was closing early due to the snow. so got a deal everything half price. I got a dozen cupcakes and a cherri cheesecake. The cupcakes were so good just the right balance of frosting to cake. My husband was also impressed stating how fresh and tasty they were. Will be making the drive again maybe in better weather. lol

Funfetti sugar cookie and cotton candy milkshake
Nicole N.

This was such a cute little bakery. I'm a sucker for cupcakes and had to try it! I enjoyed the cotton candy milkshake one the most. It was beautifully decorated with pastel colors and a cute little straw to resemble a milkshake. Personally, the funfetti sugar cookie cupcake wasn't my favorite, the cookie dough ball inside the cupcake made it a bit hard to eat. I had to make room for the strawberry shortcake macaron--very delicious! I also loved how they had pupcakes to purchase for your dogs, such a cute idea! The parking lot is very small here. Unless you're coming in during a less busy day, it might be difficult to park, but there is street parking nearby.

Everything is delicious. Cannoli cookies, PB brownies, cupcakes, specials all the time. The perfect spot to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Chocolate strawberry cupcakes on the left and chocolate lovers chocolate on the right. Soo goood.
Eric D.

Not sure why Yelp marked this location was close. I can assure that they are open for business. Just left their location moments ago. They do have limited hours though so worth calling in to make sure they're open. Looks like they also rearranged their location a bit so there's more space to social distance if needed. Enjoy the holiday, be safe, and get your goodies for the holiday. Cheers

Blueberry Cupcake Chocolate Cupcake Chocolate cake
Rosa A.

If you try anything here, let it be the gluten free cupcakes! As you walk into the store, the sweet, warm aroma of freshly baked pastries welcomes you with the kitchen door always open and perfectly positioned beside the entrance. The glass case is a cake lover's delight with a lot of options. I found the normal cupcakes to be slightly dry but the gluten free options are always dense with the chocolate flavored ones having the most distinct flavor! I try a cupcake a week and it's been good so far! Shoutout to the friendly two ladies at the counter!

We finally returned here again! We ate dinner next door at Maddi's and stopped in to grab a dessert. I had the cherry cheesecake that was delicious and I got my mom the margarita cupcake which she said was also delicious.

Whoopie Pie and Funny Bone
Maddy F.

The best bakery hands down! The queens cups has never disappointed me or my sweets loving family! It used to be a treat to go here as we lived a distance away but now that we live closer, it's even better! I stopped in this morning to get treats for Father's Day. They have quite the selection. My favorite is the fluffernutter cookie but they change their menu daily so make sure to check their instagram or website if you're looking for something specific.

Pineapple coconut, chocolate, summer berry lemonade
Maisha R.

I looked at their Facebook page and everything sounded good. They have so many unique flavors to choose from such as banana walnut pancake, cookie dough crunch, Jameson & ginger, and lookin' like a snack. I decided on the pineapple coconut, summer berry lemonade, and chocolate because I mean, why not. What struck me initially were the decorations on top, which were rather elaborate. When I bit in to them, I was hoping for soft cake and for the most part, that's what I got, well at least for the chocolate cupcake. The chocolate was excellent - chocolate frosting, chocolate candy, and wonderfully moist chocolate cake. I thought that the pineapple coconut was just ok and the summer berry lemonade was quite dry, which made it difficult to eat. My primary issue with this place is that it seems that all of the cupcakes are filled. As one who doesn't like oozing icing or creams in the middle of my desserts, this was disappointing. I was hoping that at least one cupcake wouldn't be filled but nope, all of them were. Perhaps they use the filling for moistness of the cake and if so, it doesn't work. For this reason, I likely wouldn't seek this place out for cupcakes when I'm back in the city despite the fact that my husband has ordered dozens and dozens from them for events. This just isn't my kinda place.

PB cap, S'more, Reverse Cannoli, Dream Cone
Gabriel F.

Always excellent. Every time I visit this place, every flavor I try, I am surprised every time at how good these cupcakes are. They never fail to absolutely satisfy. I am usually disappointed by cupcakes everywhere else. This place is always good. The S'mores cupcakes was my daughter's favorite. My wife loved her PB Cap cupcake. I tasted the Reverse Cannoli and Dream Cone. Both were excellent. Not sure which was the best, they were all so good.

Chocolate Caramel Cannoli and Cookie Dough Crumb Cake
Logan D.

Updating my old review because I found a new favorite cupcake! 3.5/5 Pros: -Clean, airy, modern space - great for Instagram photos -Super creative cupcake flavors and baked creations which change daily (and potentially HOURLY)--menu posted @thequeenscups on Instagram -Cupcakes are beautiful! TQC really shines in the decorations. -Live music on Thursday nights Cons: -Flavors advertised on Instagram are sometimes not in the case and you need to ask for them from the back -Seems like day-old cupcakes are sold at the same price based on the fact that flavors listed on Instagram the day before are sometimes still in the case the next day--it would be nice if they were half off -Some desserts/frostings just taste like sugar (get the cannoli or ganache frosting instead of buttercream or cheesecake) -Cupcake cake is not very strong (with exception of Pumpkin--highly recommend! Avoid chocolate) --toppings/fillings carry them -- Blackberry Lemonade Cupcake Vanilla cupcake filled with lemon AND blackberry curd/jam, topped with blackberry(?) buttercream. By far my favorite cupcake from TQC because the tartness of the fruit balanced the sweetness in the icing. Highly recommend! Chocolate Caramel Cannoli Cupcake Chocolate cake filled with cannoli cream and topped with cannoli cream, caramel, and mini chocolate chips. The chocolate cake is somewhere between dry and moist but the cannoli cream was great--not too sweet which provided some needed balance--and the caramel really came through. This was easily our favorite of the bunch and we'd definitely get it again! Cookie Dough Crumb Cake Cupcake Funfetti cake filled with a cookie dough ball, topped with chocolate buttercream and another cookie dough ball. The funfetti cake tasted similar to a boxed mix but a bit more buttery. The frosting was too cold to cut into easily, as were the cookie dough filling and topping. The cookie dough texture was decent but it just tasted like sugar and there were a few m&ms inexplicably mixed in with the chocolate chips. The chocolate buttercream frosting was typical buttercreamy sugar overload. Strawberry Dippin Dots Vanilla cupcake with absurdly sweet buttercream icing, topped and filled with strawberry Dippin Dots. The icing on this cupcake was the sweetest I've had from TQC--definitely overkill. Though the texture of the dots was nice, since there was no cream inside (just dots), the cupcake was even more dry than usual. I wouldn't recommend this, though my family enjoyed it. Matilda Cake Two layer chocolate cake filled and topped with chocolate ganache. Easily feeds 2-3 people. This cake was richer than the chocolate cupcakes, but not as fudgy as we were expecting based on the description. Probably a good thing because it wasn't sickeningly sweet. Our second favorite item. I wish they made these in cupcake sized portions because I'd order again if so! Pumpkin Whoopie Pie Ginger/cinnamon whipped cream frosting in between two fluffy pumpkin cakes. The cake was more moist than the cupcakes and tasted more like pumpkin gingerbread. I'm not a fan of whipped cream frosting, but the cake portion of these was pretty good. Brownie ($3.45) Super thick and fudgy brownie topped with chocolate icing. Loved the fudgy texture, but it just tasted buttery/sugary. A bit oily as well--the frosting kept separating from the brownie. -- Would go back for cupcakes with cannoli or ganache toppings, but skip anything with buttercream, whipped cream, cheesecake, or cookie dough. Hoping they have donuts next time I'm in town!

It's got just the right mix of bounce, density, and butteriness, without being too greasy. Big, fresh blueberries (not the shriveled kind). Plenty of crumbly streusel on top for extra taste and texture. Their mixed berry has multiple fruit presence and more of it, minus the streusel. Also very good. Sometimes the muffins are warm. Sometimes a little long in the tooth. -- Cakes: That's their claim to fame, and for good reason. They're more expensive than most, but so dense, rich, and heavy that a small slice goes a long way. My favorite is the chocolate raspberry decadence (pool of raspberry atop a deep, dark chocolate frosting). Or maybe the strawberry snowflake, which is like the best strawberry shortcake you ever had. -- Cupcakes: These often feature some of the same ingredients as the cakes, such as that killer chocolate ganache. Great for the toppings and fillings, though the cake part (especially if chocolate base) is often dry. -- Cookies: Noticeably less impressive, EXCEPT for the Linzer heart. Great flavor and texture in the raspberry and shortbread. -- Coffee: Good stuff. Not elite, but good, in heavy mugs with good feel. Service is a little lacking. Not so much because of rudeness, but because they're perpetually understaffed for the amount of business they do.

The frosting was too sweet and sugary and I don't think it was cream cheese frosting, which would have made it better. This is still a nice cafe to do some work or socializing or just chilling in. It was kind of chilly in there, but it was a hot summer day outside so it makes sense.

But I was on a mission : - ) I was in the city yesterday to visit relatives and thinking of what to bring to them would not be deter me as I snaked my way through all the construction. Trying not the be negative, the thought entered my mind that this wonderful place may not have made it through the pandemic... But there it was - lights on and someone walked out while I was parking... The on-way street has parking on both sides. I've always found it to be tough to find a spot... but I hit it right, finding one directly across! I was greeted by the nicest, friendly clerk who chatted with me some while she hand- sifted powdered sugar over a few paczkis ( Polish/Eastern European donuts) I bought. I kept going... hoping for a cheese babka, they only had a few other kinds - it was late morning. So I opted for a Walnut Strudel that looked delish. I added a few more items to my purchase. She packed them well. Leaving, it took more snaking around the streets, but not too bad. I just want to remind people that what you purchase here will not be as "sweet" as grocery store bought. The Kosher certified pastries, cookies etc. are made in the old world tradition and are exactly as they should be- as they've always been. They are meant to be shared over steamy cups or coffee, tea and engaging conversation. When I arrived my relatives were all smiles awaiting what was in my bags/boxes.. happy to see me? or the pastry? LOL

I was unsure if the tart was made at the bakery due to the packaging and label. But it looked good, so I grabbed them to go. I thought the tarts were delicious, not overly sweet with a nice texture. I'd look forward to eating these again. Alas there were no French Eclairs, my perennial favorite, and there could be a greater selection of pastries. That said, this is a great local spot to score some fresh bread or tasty treats!

Cool higher end culinary items for purchase and some other weird but welcome items like handmade soap! Good community posting board! Chill vibes and surly baristas that make you feel like you're in a bigger city! What I don't love: there are never signs telling what the baked items are, so you literally have to ask one by one at every visit- as does every single person in line. It makes me feel guilty for the people behind me and I often rush before fully exploring my options. This is made worse when I bring my small indecisive child, so I go elsewhere when I have him with me. Also- 90% of the time that I have asked, the attending barista isn't certain what the baked items are and says something like "I think that one is an apricot and cheese danish. Or cheese and some fruit. I'm not positive." At Crust's prices, I'd like to know what I'm buying and I would appreciate time to make a decision. Why won't you tell us what your yummy pastries are?? Lastly- the automatic tipping options are so high (this is coming from someone who never tips below 20%) that it makes me wonder if you're paying your employees appropriately, or expecting tips to make up the difference.

The frosting on the cake was so bitter that no one ate it at all! In addition, when I came to pick it up, they were just finishing the cake up and did not let it rest! When we started cutting it at the bday party, the cake was basically falling apart. I never had such a bad experience anywhere. I paid over $130 for the cake to end up throwing all frosting away. I called the same day and asked why frosting was so bitter, like metal taste, and at first, they hang up on me, and when I called back they said its because the color of frosting was red color! What a non sense excuse! They just added so much dye that it was impossible to eat!! It stained everything and I could still taste bitterness 2 hours after eating it. Also, sensative individuals could have gotten sick from it! You would think their bakers would try it first when they prepare mixture. I will definitely not going back again ever. Please be careful! In addition, they didn't put my decorations I brought for the cake a week before. Bunch of new people and bakers probably with no experience, but charging the same money.
