After reading above average reviews from my fellow YELP comrades I knew I had to check out this cupcake haven for myself. I really wanted to jump on the DLish bandwagon but unfortunately my first experience at this shop was disappointing.
The store is small which is not unusual as I generally do not expect cupcake shops to be a full out cupcake eatery with fancy booths and dining tables. It is a cute little shop located on Queen Street West designed for the stop and shop clientele.
The overall service was adequate, meaning the staff members weren't rude but they weren't friendly either.
The cupcakes I had were cookies and cream, dark chocolate, and red velvet. I wasn't too impressed with the taste and texture of the cupcakes. I found them to be dry and dense and nothing out of the ordinary. To me they were all basic vanilla and chocolate based cupcakes and a basic red velvet cupcake. Nothing about them stood out. The icing wasn't too sweet but it still wasn't something to rave over. The size of the cupcakes was fairly small and I didn't think it was worth the $3. I wouldn't say these cupcakes are the best in Toronto but perhaps I came at a bad time and ate cupcakes from a bad batch. I am willing to give them another try however it's unfortunate that my first impression of this place wasn't a good one.
