kartik sApril 6, 2015Well... Apart from the amazing cupcakes, the coffee is very good as well. The "icing on the cake" is that there are a bunch of games for kids which will keep them occupied while the parents can relax!
Claire WatkissMarch 31, 2018Cookie Monster cupcake the absolute best. Go early in the day (before 3) to have many options to choose from for their stuffed cupcakes-the ones they are known for. Also cute space for taking pictures
Maike PlotnikMarch 31, 2015I tried the peach cupcake - it came with fresh fruit, cinnamon and a light whipped cream on it - so delicious, cool and exactly what I needed in that moment. Great, i can only recommend it!!
Dina SimonMarch 4, 2015The cupcakes are to die for! And if you don't fancy the fillings you can create your own cupcake on the spot! Also good cookies and mochas!
Amster DamAugust 2, 2015I had heard about this place and finally went!! It was amazing especially if you love gourmet cupcakes! I had the peach cobbler one and my bf had the Cookie Monster!! Can't wait to go back!
Todd WhiteNovember 3, 2014Amazingly good cupcakes. If you don't see what you like you can build your own starting with about 8 base cupcakes, then about 10 frostings, then some more toppings for that.
Jonathan FerreraFebruary 15, 2015There are delicious cupcakes here. And the location near North Pond is quite tempting.
Nia MorenoFebruary 29, 2012I wasn't a big fan of cupcakes, but these cupcakes are amazing! Best in the city by far. My favorites are the Red Velvet with cream cheese and the Cake Batter, but you can't go wrong with any of them!
Christie ChristosFebruary 28, 2017This place is really cute, a neighborhood jem! Love the Red Velvet Cupcake with cream cheese frosting! I've tried many different flavors, they are all pretty great!
Ron Bennington. Not a man, (well, I'm sure it was named after him) but a cupcake of biblical proportions. Chocolate cake, peanut butter filling, covered in chocolate ganache. Will change your life.
Nicole LitterioFebruary 4, 2016Butterscotch Salted Carmel cupcake was great. I personally was satisfied eating half and sharing with a friend because a sweeter option.
Redeye ChicagoAugust 3, 2014You'll find some of the best cupcakes in town. If the brown butter frosting is available, don't pass it up. Read more
- Zach Solomon-BeloinJune 27, 2016Just go here. Everything is great. The frosting is tasty and doesn't have a sugary taste like many other cupcakes have.
I'm very particular about cupcakes, but this place takes the cake (no pun intended) for having the most variety. Something for everyone! Also, awesome vibe in this place! :)
If they're cream cheese icing tasted like Georgetown Cupcake's, their red velvet would be a killer. Peach Cobbler cupcake is my favorite so far. Work on that icing!
Tiffany YoungFebruary 19, 2013Sit and enjoy your cupcake. The shop has awesome board games to play, and cute swings to sit on. And if you're lucky you might hear the staff sing pop classics.
Hamid Alan9aryFebruary 5, 2018Tasty cup cakes and the coffee is nice here. I prefer anything with choclate 😋🍫🍩☕️ #Yeswaa

Tim MaayApril 12, 2011Had the Ron Bennington last weekend...it was the best cupcake I've ever had. A far cry from those grocery store things in the plastic clamshell container. Oh and the prices are fair too....enjoy!
Libby KingJuly 6, 2015I love their cupcakes. They're actually normal sized cupcakes, not the huge ones. Every flavor I've had has been excellent.
LaurenJuly 23, 2012The candy bar carnival cupcake is amazing! All of the icings are so light and delicious :) yuuuuum!
Michelle C.October 17, 2011I have to honestly say, best cupcake I have had. Boston Cream. The cookie monster I didn't try, but it is filled w/ cookie dough! Regular chocolate.....it's ok. Defiantly worth the stop.
Time Out Chicago KidsJanuary 11, 2012Sweet and spicy ginger molasses cookies ($1.50) like the kind you’d find at a bake sale. Which is fitting, since a portion of Molly’s profits is donated to schools. Read more
Tiffany LamAugust 16, 2013Cookie Monster has cookie dough filling and the Ron Bennington has chocolate ganache on top!
Nancy LyMarch 20, 2012Kahlua cupcake is amazing! The frosting is not as heavy as Sprinkles, but equally delicious. AND a portion of their profits are donated to local schools!
Dana JensenNovember 2, 2014I usually just split a single filled cupcake with someone, because dannnng are they rich. Particular love for the cake batter flavor.
BellyCardAugust 28, 2012If you're in need of something sweet, look no further than Molly's Cupcakes. Molly's has homemade ice cream, cookies, & cakes. Check in w/ @bellycard and get one free Molly, Mini or cup of Coffee!
RebeccaMarch 27, 2011Cupcakes filled with yummy goodness... Cupcake orgasm. I promise. Try them all, I have and never disappointment. I personally like the carrot cake with my choice of icing.
JK JohnsonAugust 9, 2014If you're in the mood for chocolate and peanut butter, the Ron Bennington is the way to go.
The Butterscotch Caramel cupcake is definitely up there with the Red Velvet! Scrumptious!
Try their newest cupcake, Linzer Torte! It has raspberries and macadamia nuts :)
Nicole DoupAugust 19, 2015I like their cupcakes but they're over the top sweet. The peach cobbler cupcake is pretty solid.
Bryan KFebruary 16, 2014You really can't go wrong with anything you try! Love the late night, dance party staff!
ᴡ HildebrandMarch 28, 2015They have swings at the bar and children's board games. Perfect for kids or kids-at-heart.
Patrick VillanuevaSeptember 17, 2013If you like cookie dough, get the Cookie Monster. It's probably one of the best cupcakes.
Jade PreciousJune 21, 2014Blueberry cheesecake and chocolate decadence were delicious! Not very sweet just right!
CherniseJuly 28, 2014Cake batter cupcake. There's actual cake batter in the center of the cupcake. Yum!
Lili BorbaJuly 13, 2016Red velvet, cremè brûlée, peach, are delicious, but carrot cake I don't like! 🍰🎂☕️😋
Elyse HudsonFebruary 2, 2013So much better than Magnolia! The carrot cake with cream cheese frosting is mighty delicious!
Rachel Hernandez-VelardeAugust 16, 2013Get the peach cobbler. Ultimately their best cupcake. Perfectly balanced and flavored.
This is my favorite cupcake shop in the city. Absolute faves are cookie dough and butterscotch caramel.
The BEST red velvet cupcake I've ever had.. even better than those I loved in DC. Also cheaper!! Only $2
Ermin MisticaFebruary 24, 2013Be adventurous! Cupcakes are small and bursting with flavor not like the competition who try to outdo with size and sweetness. Give any one flavor a try and be prepared for a surprise.
Blueberry cupcake is amazing! Also, get the gingerbread cupcake during holiday season.
Bella Sara KopacMay 3, 2014Red velvet cupcakes are delish. They also sell the mini versions of them.
Meaghan GipsonOctober 9, 2012Cake batter has actual cake batter in the middle. Ron Bennington is amazing. Love cupcakes for breakfast!
