| - I was disappointed. I had been meaning to go for ages, and was actually embarrassed that I hadn't gone, as I'm a big "buy local" advocate, and it's only a block from my house. However, the establishment wasn't really that well kept up, I wasn't greeted warmly, I felt as if I were intruding on something more important (someone had to come out front from the back.)
The most important part- the cupcakes. I went on a Friday, which was buy one, get one free. I have to say, they all looked delicious, albeit small, and it was tough to choose. I went with my standard red velvet (sort of the cupcake by which I judge all cupcake establishments by) and the coconut). They were both ok. The cake was not dry, but it wasn't really that moist, either, on either of them. I went at about 3:00 p.m., so maybe they had been sitting out all day? The frosting on both was good enough, but truthfully, there wasn't nearly enough of it.
And did I mention that the cupcakes are small? Good if you're on a diet, I guess, which maybe I should be, but I was in the mood to indulge. Cupcakes are small enough as they are!
In the future, I'd rather go to TopIt in Gilbert or Mind Over Batter in Tempe. I found both places to be cleaner, the staff to be far friendlier, and the cupcakes to be bigger, moister, and with more frosting.
With that said, though, I will give them another chance. They ARE local, and maybe it was just an off day. I'm guessing the size of the cupcakes are pretty standard there, but the other items might be improved upon. I like to see local businesses make it.
