    I finally made it here after wanting to try this place for so long, and it was definitely worth the wait. I got six cupcakes: Red Velvet, Snickerdoodle, Birthday Cake, Banana Pudding, Chocolate Chip, and Vanilla. Each one was soft, moist, and full of flavor. They have so many other unique flavors I can't wait to try.The cupcakes were a bit pricey. I paid $48 for six, but they were worth it. I took them to a restaurant afterward, and everyone was asking where I got them!The customer service was really great and attentive. They took their time to explain the flavors and other items they sell.The only thing is the packaging could be sturdier. A few cupcakes tilted over during the car ride home, and I wasn't even driving fast. But best believe I still ate them. I give my experience a 10/10 and can't wait to go back!

    Service 10/10 friendly and nice. The cupcakes are a mixture of ratings. 6/10 for the banana pudding one it should've been inside the cupcake. The biscoff cookie one 8/10 tasty and perfectly made. The red velvet Oreo cookie 8/10 i don't normally do chocolate it was good. 5/10 for the snickers one the frosting could have been better. Place is nice

    The Dessert Junkie did my granddaughter’s Sweet 16 Dessert Table and it looked absolutely fabulous. Not only was the display pretty, it had so many variety of desserts. Everyone raved about how good everything tasted. The birthday cake was so beautiful, that a few people thought it was fake and used for a prop. Not only was it beautiful, it was delicious and moist. Alexis was very patient and accommodating when we were placing the order. We told her the color scheme and she blew it out the park. I will be using them again.

    I've been here a few times and the customer service is always decent but the selection isn't the greatest it's price I brought 3 cupcakes and a cinnamon bun I paid $35 dollars. The ingredients taste like they've changed I taste hydrogenated oil and high fructose corn syrup. I still take real strawberries though . I won't be back I'm gonna find another dessert spot. It's not the same when they first opened.
