I really want to like Dozen. The proprietors are nice people, they have convenient locations, and their shops have an inviting, albeit busy feel to them.
I simply do not like their cupcakes. I find them overly frosted and the cake dry. This is applicable, unfortunately, to their other baked goods as well.
Two great things about Dozen. First, their brunch is fantastic. I love the quiches! Second. If you ask, they will make you special treats for your dog (I have bought pup-cakes on more than one occasion!)
These redeeming qualities do not make up for the sub-par baked goods. Also, some of their better brunch items are sold out after a very short time. I might go back... but only for the brunch.
