| - Cupcake houses are one of those places where you kind of close a blind eye to price because they are all quite expensive. I mean really, anything more than a bakesale $1 for a cupcake is expensive, and Itsi Bitsi is no exception. So I won't comment on pricing here, as I think Itsi Bitsi is price competitive with the other cupcake specialty shops in Montreal, BUT if you are looking for a cupcake shop with tasty cakes then this place will not disappoint and maybe even exceed expecations.
In my view, these cupcakes are really quite excellent if you stick close to chocolate or vanilla flavours. So Chocolate Caramel (Yes please!), Chocolate Coconut (Yes please again!), Vanilla Coconut (Yes I'll take one of those too), Vanilla Vanilla (if you like vanilla you'll be happy with this) and any combination of vanilla cake with Chocolate icing or Chocolate Cake with Vanilla icing are winners. I find that the 'fancier' flavours (margarita, floral infused flavours), have very sweet icing that are just not as delicious as the vanilla / chocolate varietals. The sweetness is generally all I taste too, so not really my bag nor recommendation.
The store itself also has some really unique and fun present and card ideas, so if you're a last minute person, you can head to Itsi Bitsi, buy your loved one/friend a sweet cakey surprise, unique present and fun card and walk out looking like a superstar at the celebratory event. They'll also box your cupcake(s) in a fancy box and wrap your present too free of charge! So sweet, and such a nice service.
So go to Itsi Bitsi for cupcakes if cupcakes are what you're looking for! and go there too if you're scrambling for a last minute present :)
