| - There's nothing sadder than dry cupcakes.
This review is based on a drop-in, grab-and-go order. In my hunt for a cupcake spot in the west end, I discovered the Yelp reviews for this place, and visited on a weekday mid-afternoon. First of all, the decor is elegant and absolutely lovely. When you walk in, you feel like you stepped into a fairytale. Wonderful ambiance.
However, when we visited, there wasn't much selection (I guess that comes with dropping by on a random afternoon). We ordered a few of the mini cupakes just to try - and unfortunately, they were incredibly dry. Zero to none moisture to the point that they tasted stale. The flavour was definitely there but unfortunately, and sadly, they weren't as fresh as you would hope.
Perhaps I visited at the wrong time of day. Or, perhaps the cupcakes are better on a made-to-order basis. But regardless, they weren't the best cupcakes I've had. Overall, 3 stars = for decor, reasonable price point, and friendly staff. But the actual product wasn't too impressive.
Note that there is lots of parking, as it's located in a large plaza. For four mini-cupcakes, with tax, we paid around $7.00.
