I love this place. Excellent cupcakes and so addictive that I have made it a practice to only go on special occasions. If you mention the occasion, and order a couple, they might reward you with a free cupcake! Nice perk!Recently I ordered three dozen minis for my birthday party. I was disappointed at the size of the cupcakes! They are very miniature. It would have been better to buy regular sized cupcakes and cut them in halves or thirds. Not worth the $27 per dozen I paid. I would not recommend buying the minis and won't be doing this again.

Where's the button to give them six stars? I'm a long-time customer, and though I really miss the old location serving breakfast, the new spot is quite charming and includes the expected variety of innovative cupcakes. It's probably hard not to be happy working in a cupcake shop, but it always stands out how friendly the staff is. From the off-site bakers to the people behind the counter, it's clear that a lot of love goes into the product.

Cool place for desserts. Cupcakes, brownies, cake, etc. Love! Recently visited for the first time in quite a while. But still the cool place to get desserts.

Considering I paid $10 for two cupcakes , I was very underwhelmed by the quality of the cupcakes. They’re a 10/10 for visual presentation, but a 6/10 in everything for me. The frosting on my cupcake had a very off putting sugary/chemically flavor and texture. It was to the point to where I had to scrape it off and throw the frosting away, and I love frosting.. the cake itself was your standard run of the mill cake. Nothing to boast over. Even my 1 year baby was not pleased with the frosting, which really sucks because one of the cupcakes was a stand in as a smash cake to celebrate his 1st birthday.

This is one of my regular stops when I'm looking for cupcakes and miscellaneous desserts. The cafe is incredibly clean with available seating. The staff is courteous and friendly. Limited parking is available in the front. Restrooms are available for customers. The price is right for a specialty bakery.Since I visit this business quite often, I will be adding more photos of these delicious treats.Tonight I had the chocolate cake instead of the cupcakes. Definitely a good choice!

Loved the lemon one and the blood orange! Yum! ???

Over priced for quality. Full sized cupcakes are gourmet, but mini were 27$ a dozen and they were clearly frozen and defrosted. They were soggy and simple.

I’ll drive down here for my bday from SF. It’s my absolute favorite spot for dessert and coffee! My top favorites are the crème brûlée cheesecake, apple strudel and their tres leches. The vibe is super cute and the service is always a pleasant experience which makes it all even better.

You will be amazed with each bite you take from any of their cakes. Absolutely delicious cakes, great flavors, and their special order cakes for any of your occasions are perfect.This place is iconic in Hillcrest. Love coming here for the good vibes and the yummy cakes.

We tried several varieties among our group and all were really moist and delicious. 2 thumbs up!
