| - Stopped by after reading about this shop on-line. Bought a few things for evening coffee... The PB brownie, couple of cupcakes, oatmeal cream pie, an eclair, a plain brownie and cheesecake bite.
The oatmeal cream pie was large, but had a "minty" taste in the cream, hmmm not sure if a fluke. The PB brownie was good - not overly sweet, still something I would not try again. The plain brownie was hard and crispy on the outside (not sure if on purpose) but soft inside - still flavorful. The cheesecake bites & eclair - nothing memorable. The cupcakes is what made this place worth the expense, limited parking & traffic fight to get to. They were delicious, fluffy, light and the two different flavors didn't taste like each other - by that I mean the batter had a distinct flavor. Some of the other cupcakes in the area including in Scottsdale all have the same batter taste - hard to explain, but no matter what flavor you chose they all taste the same, these did not. They tasted like the flavor they were supposed to be. Strawberry tasted like 'strawberry', vanilla tasted just like vanilla and not like the same batter as the strawberry with vanilla, etc. Lets just say they were a hit, and this is a tough crowd to please.
The only cons were as stated previously; the parking, the traffic to get into the small shopping mall and the goods were a little pricey - but I will fight traffic, park in back and pay the asking price for these cupcakes because they are good.
