“The cupcakes were incredibly moist and the frosting was perfect!”

The line outside had me convinced something special waited inside. People clearly love this place. The display case pulls you in right away. The cupcakes look incredible. Big frosting swirls, great colors, the kind of desserts that make you stop and stare. That’s where the excitement peaked. The cupcake I had looked amazing but the taste didn’t match the promise.

A great place for cookies, cupcakes, and other sweets. You have to make a quick decision on what you want to get because they start asking what you want right after you walk in if there’s a line.

Cupcakes were nice too, a little pricey though. Super nice area with a little bridge nearby and other restaurants and bakeries. A little hard to find parking.

Worth going out of your way to try. See my posted photos if you need further pursuasion.
