| - I have been wishing there was a cupcake or fro yo place in Dilworth for awhile now and now we have two-in-one-hooray! This place is nestles in between Picasso's and East Blvd Grill. After reading a review on here, I had to stop by yesterday to see what it's all about.
The good:
-Open late (midnight during the wk, 2A on the wknds. Do cupcakes make good drunk food? We will see)
-Open early as well and they offer oatmeal along with their other goodies
-Cupcakes for various dietary needs---diabetic, vegan, gluten free and many flavors
-Good selection of fro yo flavors which you can get swirl along with the standard fro yo toppings
-Outdoor and indoor seating
The bad:
-It kills me to say this but I wasn't too impressed with the cupcakes. I got a chocolate espresso and I believe either gluten free or vegan blueberry cupcake. The chocolate was hard on the outside, not to moist and had me reaching for some milk. The blueberry one was actually tastier-it tasted healthy but still pleasing to my taste buds. It didn't look like a traditional cupcake when I took the paper off though, kinda looked knotted.
-Cupcakes are around $3 a pop. If I'm paying that much for one, I want one on steroids.
-The fro yo I tried (strawberry banana) tasted good but was a grainy texture.
Who knows, seeing it was opening weekend I am sure they are still working on what works taste wise and such but I will still frequent other cupcake places I visit or enjoy the company of my girl, Betty Crocker. Concept wise, I think it's an awesome idea to combine a cupcake and fro yo place in one with late hours but don't think I will go there again just for the cupcakes. I would love if these places started doing a punch card for every cupcake or fro yo you buy, I would visit even more!
