My family and I love Queen's Cups!!! Their cupcakes are always amazing (the best in MA I'd say)! They also generously donated cupcakes to my daughter's charity bake sale. We are very grateful for Queen's Cups! read more

Yummy yummy treats! I came in the other day for a vegan cupcake. It was so delicious. One of the best vegan cupcakes I've had. I only wish they had more options. Staff at register was very nice. Will be back again. Would recommend read more

Was looking to have special cupcakes made for my child's birthday party, and support a smaller local bakery. Pretty bummed with the lack of client service they provided. When Facebook says that is it not the best form of contact, i called the store and left a voicemail which was not respoded to, followed up with another call, got someone on the phone who provided me with an email address to send the photo of the cupcakes i wanted to, sent the email and never received a response. I ended up doing a quick google search ended up finding another cupcake shop that started locally im my town (Cake Shop Cafe). Forwarded my request to them and received a response within the hour and got exactly what i was looking for. read more

Nutella stuffed chocolate cookie just made my absolute day. Also managed to snag the very last pumpkin whoopie pie, and that is just a very exciting thing. Basically choosing what I wanted to buy was one of the most difficult decisions of my day - everything looked absolutely wonderful. read more

The cupcakes are huge and tasty with some interesting flavors available. I am not a big desert person but they definitely make for a special treat of a nice special gift. read more

They did a great job with the build out. Great location. Without the frosting the cupcake was subpar. Going to give it another try. I want to love this place...hoping they can live up to the hype. read more

Shop local! A great dessert shop to come and relax and eat delicious cupcakes, as well as a variety of other treats. They even make 'pupcakes' for your pooch. Gluten free and vegan options are a plus! I absolutely LOVE the GF chocolate pb cupcakes, and the GF chocolate chip cookies are heaven! They have live entertainment on certain days, and byob. read more

I was so excited to finally go and buy cupcakes from this place!! Follow them on Instagram or Facebook to see what cupcakes are being made for the day. I happened to go on a Tuesday to get dessert for my boss's birthday and they had $2 cupcakes!! Score!! Everyone loved them and they were so adorable. My favorite was the muddy buddy. It's so rustic and cute inside if you want to enjoy your treat there. read more

The cupcakes are really pretty with clever names. However they have missed out on one very important aspect.... taste. They are dry and lack flavor. A disappointment. I've tried twice, thinking I caught them on a bad day.... nope. Still dry and lacking flavor. But they are beautiful. Everyone in my household agreed. read more

There aren't enough good, wonderful, delicious words to describe these bites of goodness. This is my go to place for when I want to impress people with dessert. Also, I love picking up these cupcakes for holidays so I can bring a variety for each guests taste buds! Can't recommend this local gem enough! My favorites are the pineapple coconut margarita, the traditional carrot cake and Boston Cream pie! read more

I think the food/desserts speak for themselves! Amazing. Love going in and literally getting a different dessert each time. I have also ordered an engagement party cake last year. It came out beautiful and everyone loved it. read more

Ordered a cake and cupcakes for my fiancé's surprise 50th. The cake they made is exactly what I envisioned and it was delicious! The cupcakes looked amazing but were gone before I could try one, everyone loved them. I was most impressed with the service when we picked up, they helped bring everything out to the car, made sure it was secure, and could not have been nicer. It was my first time using The Queens Cups and I cannot stop recommending them. Really great experience! read more

These cupcakes are spot-on!!!! I wish I could eat them all!!! The people who work at the shop are delightful and the cupcakes are delicious! I love to stop in and pick up treats on weekends for the family!! Keep up the great work!!! :) read more

Excellent bakery, the cup cakes are dangerously good! The only criticism of the place is it's a pain in the ass for me to get to which is probably a good thing for my waistline! read more

So friendly and accommodating. Easy parking, smart packaging and creatively delicious. Great addition to Canal district.

This place is so good!! The BEST vegan, gluten free treats in Worcester. You wouldn't even know they were vegan or gluten free. Super elaborate and delicious, not just boring plain flavors either. Cupcakes are delicious, and they have a wide range of other treats too. I go here at least once a month, and am never disappointed. Super easy to just call up, order, and curbside pick up whenever you want during hours of operation. Definitely recommend!! read more

I just want to give a heads up to customers that the staff doesn't seem knowledgeable at all about nuts/nut allergies. We asked the girl at the counter directly about tree nuts, she said pointed out a cupcake that had peanut butter and said only that one had nuts. We pointed out the cupcake that had pecans in the name and she said oh yeah that too. She also asked another woman working there and both of them seemed to have absolutely if any of the cupcakes had nuts or not. I'm pretty surprised that a bakery wouldn't ensure all of its employees are knowledgeable about which products of theirs has nuts in it but also that peanut allergies and tree nut allergies are not the same thing, especially considering some nut allergies can be fatal. read more

So in love with these cupcakes! I first tried them over a year ago at my friend's wedding, and had to have them for ours. We had raspberry Oreo, strawberry margarita, better than anything kit Kat remix, caramel brownie sundae, and Reese's pieces. Not only did it make OUR day that they were so amazing---and looked great!-- but a lot of our guests were really excited and happy with them well. Such a good experience throughout! Also, they now make small cake topper cakes for cutting, which I was very excited about! read more

The Queen's Cups - Bakeries Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

See all

This is my go to place for the best desserts in Worcester County. They did an exceptional job providing outstanding gourmet cup cakes for our wedding reception that my guests raved about. I have been here many times and have never been disappointed! read more

I took three eleven year old girls with me to check out The Queen's Cups; it was TOTALLY worth the 1.5 hour round trip. The variety and decorations were incredible! And the cupcakes tasted as fabulous as they looked. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the little room next door was charmingly decorated with comfortable seating, flavored water with mason jars, books and board games. The girls were completely enchanted and only ready to leave after extracting a promise that I'd bring them back soon. HIGHLY recommend!! read more

The cupcakes delicious, creative, and beautiful. You can tell Renee takes a lot of pride in what she does and has fun creating new flavor combinations and designs for her cupcakes, which is admirable. As a local consumer I appreciate that she caters to the holidays and fun quirky events. When I am having or attending a get together the Queen's cups always comes in to mind for dessert. I also love how cute and trendy the bakery is! I wish more businesses would take time to add personal touches to their decor, it really shows how much pride they take in their business. Every time I have gone into the bakery I'm greeted by a friendly staff, and either Renee or her mom who always make a point to say something cute or nice to my kids. They go above and beyond! Thank you for bringing this awesome business to Worcester! I highly recommend the matiltda cake! And I still need to try their homemade take on pop tarts and dunkaroos! read more

I really like it here. There is a constantly changing variety of different flavor cupcakes and other desserts here. If you are looking for just plain old chocolate cupcakes, beware, they may not always have them. Unlike some of the other reviewers, I think the staff is great. Very helpful and friendly. It's a bit busy on Saturdays and the parking is tricky since the parking lot is tiny but there's on street parking too. They have a side room that I think is used for local entertainment. It's really a cute place. read more

Best most creative bakery around! Everything I've ever had from there has been delicious. They are known for they're yummy cupcakes but honestly all there treats are good, from the cookie dough cheesecakes to the cookies and cookie dough cones omg! Also the lemonades and special drinks are really good read more

Cupcakes, lots of different and unique deserts . Have also ordered a custom cake. Everything has been great.

This place is beyond delicious. Follow them on Instagram if you want a daily view of their deliciousness. I literally dream about their fluffernutters and my dogs definitely approve of the pupcakes! You can order online from them and they will bring it out to your car or they do delivery now of cookies I think as well. You will not be disappointed. read more

While the cupcakes are extravagant and pretty looking, they don't live up to the taste. I've been twice, because every business has a bad day. But both days I was disappointed. I ordered a 6 pack and all of the cupcakes were dry and the frosting was hard. It tasted like it had been left out for a week. The cake tasted like a grocery store cake, it was not moist and just nothing special especially for the price. Definitely don't suggest spending $20 on something that will just end up in the trash. Then I decided to try the PB cup brownie. The brownie again wasn't anything to run home about. It was over powered with peanut butter and the brownie tasted like it came from a box mix. I was so disappointed because I love supporting local businesses but unfortunately this one is just not worth spending the money on. A cupcake is only as pretty as it tastes! read more

My boyfriend and I picked up an order here last weekend and we loved it!!! He got the cannoli cookies and I had the vegan cinnamon roll and brown. SO GOOD! Worth the trip up from Boston! We will be back! read more

Wow! I ordered 5 dozen of the mini cupcakes for our wedding reception, and am blown away. We worked with one of the staff to select 5 varieties that would mirror our island theme (carrot cake with mango & coconut, chocolate lasagna, raspberry margarita, salted caramel vanilla, pistachio cannoli). Even after a massive spread of great food, these babies were gone in 20 minutes. Even guests who don't typically eat sweets were sucking them down. The couple that I managed to snag were magnificent. The details, flavors, and moist cake were perfection. I was bummed when Sweet closed as I'd loved their margarita cupcakes, but these were better. Great service, sweet heaven! read more

Our low rating is due to disappointment with the gluten free menu. Most people will eat gluten free because it's better for their health overall, or they find that they're sensitive to gluten, and if that's the case with the gluten free items at this bakery, then the quality of their baked goods is excellent. However, when dealing with celiac disease, it is a whole different ball game. We have two family members with celiac, and so when gluten free is advertised, we are extremely hopeful and excited that we can also enjoy food out of the house somewhere, which makes having this disease so much less agonizing. We heard about the gluten free cupcakes here and so I was delighted to go out of my way to find it and get some cupcakes for my son. Unfortunately, they do not have a dedicated gluten free space in their kitchen. They told me that they sanitize the area before making gluten free items, but this only tells me that they don't understand celiac disease at all. Gluten is not a bacteria that can be sanitized. It is a molecule. Even in a household where someone has been diagnosed, there have to be separate pans, utensils, cookware, and a totally separate area in which to prepare food that never, ever touches anything with gluten on it. I'm sorry to be such a downer, but this is also an opportunity to educate the public food service places because most simply don't understand the gravity of what gluten free means to a person with celiac disease. People with this disease that get even one tiny particle of gluten in their system can end up projectile vomiting for days and sometimes weeks. They are officially contaminated, and it takes a long time to get their system back to normal. Every time they are re-glutened, they are at a higher risk for other deadly diseases, malnutrition, and more. It is a serious thing. And so I beg of you, please put it somewhere in your marketing that you do not, in fact, have a gluten free designated kitchen. Yes, you have gluten free items, but no, you are not safe for celiacs. This alone will save others the trip out there, and the great disappointment of finding out after they get there. Also, I will say that if you ever decide to dedicate one area and a set of pans and preparation utensils, and oven space to go completely gluten free, you'd have some insanely dedicated celiac customers. read more

Sometimes I think the frosting is too sweet. Then sometimes the cupcakes could be a little bit too dry. But I like all different varieties of cupcakes they have. But since the move to a different location, there is less cupcakes displayed for sale. Location seems smaller. read more

Always great amazing cupcakes. We've been going here for years. We absolutely love TQC!

The cupcakes we're not what I was expecting. They were not fresh and had too much frosting. They are also too small and overpriced. They are more for children than adults with a craving for something sweet. Disappointed read more

Hands down one of the best small businesses in Worcester. I'm not huge on sweets but the cupcakes are so light and tasty. Everyone is always extremely friendly and hardworking. You can tell that everyone working there loves their job and is extremely passionate. Sometimes the selection isn't huge but even when the selection is limited you can't go wrong. Also, the environment is awesome. I've gone here in between classes and grab cupcakes with some girls. It's a blast and the live music is a great touch. read more

I've gone to the Queen's Cups several times over the last year or so. I've never been disappointed. Most recently I went after the animal hospital I work at passed an important accreditation. I wanted to treat my coworkers to something sweet and special for all their hard work. I got a dozen assorted cupcakes. I was not disappointed this time either when I walked into work with cupcakes in hand and my coworkers were so happy with these special treats. Thank you TQC's for always being there when I need something for any occasion(happy, sad, post accreditation, what have you). I'm also a sucker for Instagram and seeing my pup on yours eating a pup cake was pretty special! Thanks for making Cooper Instagram famous! read more

I really wish I could have posted a picture, but unfortunately, all 40 cupcakes were taken before I had the chance! Ladies- if you have a shower to host you should definitely opt for The Queen's Cup cupcake favors! So easy, cute, and delicious! Thanks girls for all your hard work! read more

Needed to write a review not only to rave about how amazing the cupcakes were, but also to rave about the customer service here! We went in to get a few cupcakes for a friends birthday, and a younger girl helped us and put them in a box. I didn't even realize that the cupcakes were a little to big for the box however, the owner certainly did. She went and got us four new cupcakes without us even asking (I would have demolished them no matter how they looked) and then she gave us the two prior cupcakes to us for free! What stuck out to me was when I told her she didn't have to do that and that we really didn't care she said "I know, but I care". Really can't ask for better customer service! Will definitely be back! read more

Never again. We stopped in based on the good reviews. We bought some gf and some regular cupcakes. Pricey at 3.50-4.00 per cupcake. They looked pretty- but upon getting home and tasting, what a disappointment. Almost completely tasteless. The texture was unappealing, the flavor nonexistent. We were very surprised, after reading many positives here. I don't recommend this place at all- it really is the worst bakery I've been to in a long while. read more

I have been going to The Queens Cup since day one, and I find that the owner, staff, atmosphere and of course the goodies, to be anything but fantastic! I'm not too sure what you could actually complain about. I understand that people have an opinion, but you have to be a paleo fanatic or something to not enjoy the most delicious cookies, cupcakes etc. Shoot, I may just get my toddler and newborn dressed and out the door just so I can get my hands on some yummy cookies! Reviews are helpful, I read them and write them all the time. But I like try things for myself no matter what people say! Thanks Renee for all of your hard work! read more

The Queen's Cups is one of the best bakeries in Central MA. I have tried many others in search of a delicious treat but have always come up disappointed: where others have been beautiful to look at, they have been missing flavor. TQC has some incredibly unique cupcake flavors and a variety of desserts besides just cake. The cupcakes are moist, ingredients fresh, frosting perfectly sweet. These are always a hit for any get together. The new location in Worcester is adorably quaint and makes you want to sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee and a cupcake while you bring an entire dozen home. I couldn't recommend TQC any more! read more

The cupcake that I tried was good, but the iced coffee was clearly hot coffee with ice put in it as all of the ice melted in less than a minute. Looking past that, the coffee is not good. My friend had hot coffee and didn't seem to mind it but I certainly wouldn't recommend wasting your money on the coffee. The cupcakes are inventive and cute, I'm sure most are good. What struck me was the decor, it was quirky and cute. The exposed brick is beautiful and they had a lot of nice signs and doodads that I loved. A small framed piece had a collage of diverse faces with the caption "be a friendly face". On another note, the young girls at the front desk should take note from their decor seeing as they were sour faced and boorish. read more
