| - I'm honestly shocked to see so many positive reviews of this place, but after reading some of them I see one common thread the berries and cream cupcake. I got three cupcakes today, berries and cream, vanilla vanilla, and key lime pie. I was so excited for the key lime pie because it had a graham cracker crust! I love traditional vanilla with vanilla because that's just a classic you can't go wrong with... at least so I thought. Maybe it's just me, but I was not a fan of the icing, the texture was off and the flavor was weird. It was a little too buttery, guessing it was a buttercream icing, but it taste like a sweet piece of buttered popcorn. The cake did not melt in my mouth for any of the flavors, the texture was crumby and dry not really smooth, airy, or creamy, just bleh, meh, and ugh. The only cake that was half way decent to me was the berries and cream, but I couldn't manage to eat it. The icing was runny and gritty not smooth light and creamy. The key lime pie cupcake was disappointing as well, same feel as the vanilla cake on the vanilla vanilla, and same texture icing as the berries and cream. I was most disappointed by the unpleasant demeanor of the lady working. Maybe there's something wrong with me, but I got the feeling that she wasn't to interested in helping me. I've been here twice and I've caught the same vibe service wise.
Overall the whole visit was disappointing. I was craving something sweet after lunch, and I like to surprise my hubby with sweet treats, but I don't think I will be coming back here. Their prices also seem a little high for the cupcakes, $3 a cupcake, $4 for filled, and $22 for a half dozen. Maybe I was just so disappointed it made the price seem like it wasn't worth it.
