Leszek DowgierAugust 22, 2018One of my favorite places to get something sweet and a coffee on the Upper East. And I am picky about my coffee!
SuperbJuly 17, 2012What a cute little shop! Their cheesecakes and their cupcakes are amazing. Stop by if you're in the UES, but watch out for long lines during the busier hours.
Earn NichaDecember 22, 2016Get the red velvet and Brooklyn Blackout. The best cupcake shop in America. I've tried Georgetown, Sprinkles, and Magnolia before.
EMILYAugust 7, 2015Their chocolate cake cupcakes are the best, with great frosting. Cheesecake is good too. However, the red velvet is subpar (go to sprinkles instead).
Becky D.March 19, 2013Beware of hipsters. It is NYC, after all. Delicious cupcakes. Good after a meal at the German restaurant next door. (You may need to do what we did and walk off dinner first...)
Brittney PotterDecember 4, 2019We had their seasonal pie, pumpkin pie. Delicious! I’ve heard their cakes and cupcakes are awesome!
Keri ThompsonAugust 22, 2015Everything here is made with love and delivered with a smile. Carrot or Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Icing are both amazeballs!
if you like chocolate, there's no possible way you won't love the Brooklyn blackout cupcake
IreneAugust 16, 2015Their Brooklyn Blackout cupcakes are super filling and delicious. Probably one of the softest cupcakes I've ever had.
Brittany BeisnerMay 20, 2019Custom ordered a cake for my friends bday and it was perfect! The red velvet is AMAZING and the customer service was fab.
Shreya NathanApril 19, 2018cupcakes are better than the cakes... chocolate lovers, get the pudding-filled cupcake
- They are properly rated - believe the hype as the lines before every holiday are for good reason. Pies, cakes, cup cakes they knock it out of the park routinely.
Jireh RapayJanuary 19, 2014Best place to go to when you want that old grandma's kitchen smell plus its kinda that secret place thats not overcrowded so its cozy.
I trek from Bushwick to get cakes and confections from this place. Brooklyn Blackout may be their signature cake, but I adore the red velvet!- K. M.May 28, 2015Huge cupcakes (but they also have smaller versions). The peanut butter one is heavy, greasy — and yet delicious.
Kyle ByeAugust 13, 2015The Brooklyn Blackout cupcake is the perfect mix of chocolate cake, pudding, and icing. Pretty much divine.
The best red velvet cake in all the land.. Two Little Red Hens sets the bar extremely high! Hands down best bakery in the UES..
Phil KatzMay 1, 2016Hands down the best cheesecake and cupcakes in the city. Well worth the trek uptown.
Danielle DuemesiNovember 28, 2016A hidden gem! Scrumptious cupcakes with a uniqueness to each one that you just gotta try them all!
NearSay NYCJuly 28, 2011Sweet tooths beware: You'll want to eat everything on the menu!!Go with us on this one: Brooklyn Blackout, American Vanilla, Choc.Covered Macaroons, the Banana Cupcake.....shoot we ran out of charact
Faye DMarch 26, 2017Amazing red velvet and brooklyn blackout cupcakes. Hands down the best cupcake in New York!
Brooklyn blackout is 'the ultimate treat' and Two Little Red Hens is 'the place'. All your other Brooklyn what-if's don't stand a chance.
Serious EatsAugust 1, 2013The cheesecake here is our favorite in New York, perfect in both aesthetics and taste.
Elizabeth BursteinDecember 18, 2018Brooklyn blackout is the best! Marble is good but prefer the bb. Coconut not so good
PierreApril 16, 2017Cakes! Banana cake, carrot cake, apple pie. This is the best cake place in the world.
RaqApril 20, 2013The key lime is to die for! Do yourself a favor and just get the big cupcake bc you're def going to want more than the mini!- Serious EatsAugust 10, 2013Excellent American-style bakery for pie, birthday cake, and moist, flavorful cupcakes.
Mirjana V.March 30, 2014Well worth the trip uptown. Amazing (and affordable) decorated cakes, and the best cupcakes around.
Elvis RodricksMarch 16, 2015They do run out of their cupcakes towards the end of the day. We resorted to their pecan pie - drove us nuts in a good way!
Syndicate Media GroupJanuary 30, 2012NYC [Eat] The banana cupcakes with cream cheese are the best of their kind. Moist and flavorful with just the right amount of decadence. Grab one or two.
Stella KimDecember 16, 2010The Brooklyn blackout is Absolutely Perfect! Everyone should eat this. Other than that, you really can't go wrong! I just had a Ginger cupcake and even that was delicious.
Michelle ChenOctober 29, 2016Great red velvet cupcakes (love the cream cheese frosting), also had the pumpkin harvest which was good!
{ Ella Bordeaux }November 1, 2014Everything's so delicious and tasteful, gotta try it all before I come back to Italy! Supreme!
You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu here. Try the yellow cake with fudge frosting!
Josh MinznerNovember 7, 2017The peanut butter fudge cupcake may be the best peanut butter flavored dessert I’ve had in my life.
Kimmie OhhSeptember 29, 2019You must definitely order the New York cheesecake, Brooklyn blackout & red velvet!
Angela ZhangAugust 27, 2014The Brooklyn Blackout cupcake tastes like boxed devil's cake + average chocolate pudding + grocery store fudge icing. All that just for the hefty price of $4!
Divya MenonAugust 21, 2016This is my favorite place to buy a chocolate birthday cake ❤️. The BLACKOUT is Amazzzzing!- Elizabeth BursteinJanuary 6, 2018Loved the key lime and pecan pies. Snickerdoodle cookie was meh. Want to try the raspberry cake
Brittany GoodwynJuly 29, 2015Very cute little bakery. The cupcakes are a good size, but unfortunately the key lime cupcake wasn't that great. It didn't have enough flavor for my extreme love of key lime.
NeetOctober 23, 2012This is the best in the city!! Magnolia is over rated and doesn't taste half as delicious as these amazing cupcakes! Yum!!!!!
Mike FriedlichOctober 9, 2018Brooklyn Blackout cupcakes are excellent, probably the best cupcakes I’ve ever had.
Jannette GMarch 13, 2016Their cheesecake was amazing along with their cupcakes. Cheesecake was super creamy.
Rafi RomeroSeptember 20, 2015the yellow cupcake with chocolate fudge is probably my favorite. the marble one is also really good
Rock RainesJune 2, 2019Ridiculously good cheesecake and the peanut butter and chocolate cupcake is incredible
