This place is so cute & pink. I always wanted to stop and try them every time I drove past it. I heard from somebody that they were good so I wanted to try it for myself. These cupcakes were so cute and not too sweet. I’m not a fan of heavy icing, and their icing is perfect.

I rolled in with my husband and toddler to snag the goods. Owner is super sweet and happy to give the whole run down. Everything is good BUT the vanilla and lemon cupcakes stand out. Perfectly classic with a touch of modern flair. This physical space is super cute, ALL pink everything. This place is black owned and well def go back.

I mean for a shop devotedly solely to cupcakes, I expected better quality. They taste fine, some flavors better than others, but overall they can taste pretty dry and are just all around average cupcakes. I don’t believe they sell anything other than cupcakes and hot coffee either. While there’s a decent amount of cupcake variety, I just don’t know how I feel about a whole storefront that only sells mediocre cupcakes. This place seems more like a gimmick than a contribution to the neighborhood, since there are many other things that could have been here instead of this. So to brief it up, limited options, no coffee variety, and just decent cupcakes. Eh.In response to the owners, when I visited that is all they offered. Hot coffee and 6 varieties of cupcakes. I am writing a review for my experience when I visited. If things have changed I will pay another visit and update my review. No need for a passive aggressive response. I gave an honest opinion of my experience. The online menu only shows cupcakes still from what I see.

Ordered from UberEats. Got here quickly.Strawberry cupcake, 9 out of 10. My strawberry had slid off by the time I got it so the presentation wasn’t amazing .The icing was unexpectedly light, like whipped cream and I was pleasantly surprised at the cake itself - real strawberry like, not artificial tasting at all. The confetti cupcake, 4 out of the 10 - and that’s because of the sprinkles only.... I love sprinkles. The cake had the essence of confetti.. with the colors and taste .... but the batter itself ...was flat. I’m saving my chocolate cupcake for after dinner..so no feedback on that. I ordered a chocolate chip and oatmeal but got two oatmeal instead which was irritating.... How do you “run out of” chocolate at 4PM on a Saturday? The oatmeal cookie - 3 out of 10 .It was soft, but the batter was lifeless as is basic....with maybe 5 raisins. Overall- I’d try it again.

What a gem! My friends and I were visiting Philadelphia from California and happen to drive by the pink building we decided to stop in. There’s a good variety of desserts to choose from. The cupcakes were so moist and fresh! Highly recommended

Stopped in to see what there was. They have cupcakes. And coffee. What else do you need after a rough day? I bought a strawberry cupcake, and a chocolate one. Oh, my but the strawberry hit the spot. The slice of fresh strawberry on top of the generous amount of strawberry icing was just perfect. The person who assisted me was professional and friendly. Cupcakes are competitively priced at $3.00 each. There is a variety, including chocolate, strawberry, lemon, and a variety of frostings and toppings. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed.

Super nice people! They just opened up and they seem excited to be part of the community. I think they have great potential. The coffee was good, and the carrot cupcake tasted really good, homemade good!

I got four cupcakes and all of them were really dry, not even very sweet. The chocolate was barely chocolate. It was like eating bread more than cake. The icing was good but thats about it.

Friendly staff and tasty cupcakes. I do wish they offered sandwiches and breakfasts. They have the best view of the city skyline. It’s worth a trip just to see that and hang out in the park.

Really wanted to like this place but was kind of disappointed to see what turned out to be a mediocre business go into such a nice location. The chocolate cupcake was quite dry, not entirely awful, lets just call it eddible... a real let down given thats supposed to be their thing. The whole business just seems so out of touch with the area, like comon, no one really wants cupcakes like that... The community could be much better served if a different business were to go into that location. I really cant imagine this cupcake shop remaining open for long as they had some initial grand opening traffic but business has seemingly been steadily trending down which doesnt bode well given the seasonality of the product. The exterior of the building is a very hot pink with a lot of flair and pop but dont be deceived, although initially eye catching, overtime it has developed into an eye sore; especially given all the unintended and unwelcomed blotches of pink spray pain that now stain the sidewalk surrounding the building, a visceral example of their hastily and ill prepared opening, as well as their apparent disregard for the community which they are supposed to be serving but evidently are so out of touch with. As a 5 year resident of the immediate area, Im just saying what everyone is thinking... 9/10 people I talk too about this place agree which is kind of SAD because the only redeeming quality is the staff who work there :)

Ordered from grubhub, they called an hour later and stated they were too busy to deliver. I had to call grubhub and cancel myself -- Im guessing they were too busy to refund my money.

Only decent part of the food here was the icing, other than that the cake was very dry and of poor quality, would love to have something else here other than some poor tasting desserts.
