Every changing cupcake menu alongside a daily lunch menu in a former drive through coffee shop.
I used to come here weekly when it was a latte shop last year... but I don't get to this side of Tallmadge much these days and noticed there was a new store in this building when we stumbled on The Daily Bread next door.
The website has a pdf listing of what the 2 daily lunch specials and 1 side will be for each day of the current month... I wish I hadn't JUST picked up some General Tso's at a Chinese place before stopping or I would go back tomorrow when it will be the special... the Loaded Grilled Cheese (with salami or turkey) sounds fun... I definitely plan on coming back for a lunch soon...
Cupcake Review
There is a dry erase board next to the drive up window that lists flavors, but it wasn't up to date so the owner listed all of the flavors she had available... which seemed like more than 10... but it was difficult to keep track so I ordered the standards... something chocolate... red velvet... and I caught the word caramel as I tried to absorb the list.
The Facebook page lists coffee as an option, but there wasn't a menu for flavors so I stuck with just the cupcakes this time around.
Overall I didn't like the balance of frosting to cake... not that there was icing piled high... but it was REALLY thick... and the cake REALLY light...
Death by Chocolate - for the true chocolate lover... fudge frosting... a more liquid chocolate filling, and a devil's food cake... but the cake was way too light in structure for my taste... it was plenty "chocolaty" enough... but it was hard to keep it from crumbling around such thick frosting.
Caramel Apple - The website says the frosting is caramel... but we only tasted vanilla... the apple pie filling was nice with a hint of cinnamon, but the frosting was really thick and the cake really light.
Red Eye - Espresso frosting with Red Velvet cake... nice balance between the thickness of the frosting and the soft moist cake... easily my favorite. The frosting wasn't too coffee tasking... the non-coffee drinking hubby loved it.
I would try the cupcakes again... BUT... I will bring my own container... the plastic cups were really hard to get the cupcakes out of... we had to place them in the refrigerator for almost an hour so the frosting could set up and the cake became firm enough to lift them out of the cups with 2 steak knives... I tried it with the cupcakes at room temperature and the cake caved in and the cupcake wouldn't lift.... if the cakes themselves weren't so tasty... it would have been a 2 star deduction for the frustration and loss of frosting... but they were really good!
