John AJanuary 18, 2016Ehm..."unique" is only description for this dusty antique shop/old bluegrass music/cupcake shop combo. Dense walnut cupcake with wax-like buttercream frosting seem made with the original antiques.
Hannah NicdaoJanuary 29, 2015LOVE this place. My mom used to take me here when I'd get to go w/ her to work as a little 90s kid...way before cupcakes "got cool". The buttercream frosting is MINDBLOWINGLY good with unique flavors!
Nancy ChungMarch 9, 2016Delicious smooth butter cream frosting. It's a mess to eat be warned!! (Had the chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting. The frosting has No shortening and is not frothy, it's actually cream!)- honeywhatscooking.comApril 2, 2015Love the Walnut Cupcake w/buttercream. The cupcake has a hint of coffee and the frosting is to die for. Moist and delicious.
Zeba SiddiqiFebruary 28, 2016Cute old school cafe near port authority terminal, Cupcakes are tasty & very pretty. Serves good coffee.
Rose GMSeptember 15, 2010You can order one of the best cupcakes in New York, then sit down with a cappuccino at the giant marble table and read for hours with no one bothering you. In autumn, be sure to snag a pumpkin donut.
FabioNovember 14, 2013In t mood for sweets: try spectacular hot cocoa n a lemon cup cake. ...... U will love it but u will have all t sugar dosis of week....
The coffee here is fantastic, the cupcakes are beautiful to look and yummy to eat. On the weekends Mike makes delicious waffles, no frills because they're not needed. If you're looking for a place to
CompassMay 15, 2014Coffee and pie go hand in hand at the Cupcake Cafe, where cakes and delicately dressed cupcakes are beloved by all neighbors.
Paulette OsborneMay 31, 2014Great place for a cupcake. But I hope the surly dude up front is the owner because I'd suggest he be fired.- New York HabitatMarch 8, 2012These beautiful decorated cupcakes taste the same way they look! Try the Vanilla or Mocha Cupcake, it's a real treat!
NancerellaOctober 19, 2015Sad that their store looks a little too dim and gloomy but one of my favorite cupcake in NYC...
sadiaSeptember 26, 2012Call ahead of time to make a cupcake order. The carrot cupcakes were the best I've ever had.
KillerHeels_UKFebruary 7, 2010I use cupcake to round off a meal whilst on foot in Manhattan. MacD's or bagel with lox and then get a cupcake for dessert. Cheap treat and lovely! Read more
Fernando ClaroAugust 3, 2011good american spot between so many turistic places around the area! And order hot chokolate!! Beautiful
patrice tanakaApril 25, 2010The best cupcakes in Manhattan! If you like dense, moist cake-y cupcakes, this one is for you. I love all of the flavors.
Village VoiceOctober 25, 2012Readers' Poll winner of The Village Voice Best of NYC 2012 Best Cupcake!
Margaret-Ellen JeffreysJune 1, 2014Been told these are "true buttercream." Guess I don't like true buttercream. Dense, dry cake, frosting tastes like eating a stick of butter. They're beautiful, but I didn't eat mine, & won't be back.
ArpanJuly 14, 2013Be very particular about soy milk - I ordered soy cappuccino and I was served with regular milk.
stacey linMay 4, 2014This ancient&dusty place is the worst!Service is beyond horrible.Even when speaking to them w direct eye contact, somehow they still ignore the customer. Even if cupcakes are great,never coming back!
MeliAugust 25, 2013Save your money and go elsewhere for coffee and cupcakes. The cupcakes were not only dry, they each weigh a ton...like a brick. That's how thick they were. The butter cream is sub par. Avoid!
Try the Mike's Weekend Waffles - Like a littte piece of heaven in the hell's kitchen!- Try the Cafe Americano - With couple of cup brownies. Breakfast for scary people.
- Order Mike's hot chocolate! He melted the chocolate himself for you. Then if it's any left grab one of those pumpkin donuts. Hmm!
Andy SantamariaFebruary 22, 2012Just come here and hang out with Mike. Great guy. Tell him I sent you.
Saaya Rei RuizApril 20, 2015Went in try to get someone to take care of me... Not really friendly... I'm a bit annoyed how when I asked for help I got glared at... Sigh....
April TynerSeptember 22, 2010If u like moist cupcakes w creamy icing don't come here. They r dry dense cake & the icing...ehh
