    • Q:

      Are the mini cupcakes made to order only, or can I walk in and purchase?

      A:

      They have mini muffins already made in packages. If you wanted a special flavor, probably best to call first

      We've been getting our cupcakes here for years. Of course I had to make sure we had them at our wedding & they're always a hit!
      Their snickerdoodle & s'mores cupcakes are the best
      our family is always raving about them.
      Always looking forward for the next party as an excuse to get more little cakes

      Got an order of the vanilla cupcakes and champagne almond cupcakes for my grandson's birthday party, and when I got home, saw that the sprinkles on top of 5 of the six vanilla were Halloween colored (black and orange). Not exactly birthday colors. And then just one odd pastel sprinkled cupcake (as the website picture showed).

      I called to see if I could exchange them, and at least ask why I didn't get six matching cupcakes. The store clerk just said "yeah, sorry, we are doing Halloween Sprinkles right now on our vanilla cupcakes. You must've gotten one of the last regular sprinkle cupcakes." I told her well it's for a birthday party not a Halloween party. She just said "yeah sorry." Then silence. I was so ticked, I just hung up.

      I know it's hard to get good help in retail these days, but this was just really bad customer service. The cupcakes taste great. The customer service tastes rotten.

      Mismatched and misleading advertising on the cupcake sprinkles.

      Cute little shop in Vista. Stopped by 45mins before closing and they still had a decent selection available. I ordered the half dozen for $24.50. Flavors were similar to what you'd see at other bakeries. I enjoyed the green tea matcha and almond champagne.

      Best cupcakes EVER!!! I actually don't like cupcakes but these are SO good. I've ordered from then tens of times.

      My favorite is their Snickerdoodle cupcake, hands down, but all their flavors are good.

      They also used to have these mini cheesecakes that were DIVINE but they stopped selling them, unfortunately. Please bring them back!

      Only downsides are they are pricey and their rewards system (stamp card) is bad in that they only give you a stamp for every $10 you spend. So if you buy $9 worth, you don't get a stamp at all.

      This is our go to cupcake place....and I don't even care for cupcakes LOL The cupcakes are moist and delicious and not overly sweet. They have limited seasonal cupcakes that are just as fun. My daughters's favorite is their red velvet and my son favors their chocolate....while I'll take their almond champagne. Really, we haven't had any bad ones yet. They also sell prepackaged mini cupcakes so you can sample different flavors.

      Such a cute store and nice employees. They have vegan and gluten-free cupcakes, as well as regular ones. They have drinks too! Only a few seats inside and outside. Most likely, you will have to take it to go. No bathroom here.

      We were looking for a place to make a cake for one of our events and we decided to try a few cupcakes first. When we went in they had Halloween themed cupcakes and the 'sally' was our favorite. There is a slight price increase for the specialty cupcakes but nothing crazy.

      My favorites are the banana mocha tella, vanilla and almond. Their vanilla and almond buttercreams and sooo rich and creamy. Their award winning almond champagne with Bavarian is also delicious!

      We ended up ordering two round cakes and one sheet cake. I was in touch with Alexa all month - she is so friendly and accommodating. She calls me on time and always responds to my emails and texts.

      I highly reccomend this place for any special event or just a nice treat. Their cake is moist and never dry.

      I came here to pick up some last minute treats for work and grabbed their pre packaged dozen mini cupcakes! It came with 6 different flavors and was fast & easy to purchase. For a mini dozen, it was $21 I believe? The cupcakes were moist and flavorful, and everyone in my department enjoyed it. My favorite was the strawberry milkshake, it was a vanilla base and strawberry frosting that explodes with flavor in your mouth. The parking was easy to find, I parked next to the Panda Express and walked over to the opposite side to find the store. It's in front of the movie theatre. The service was nice and easy. I would come back for sure in the future!
