| - I went to Gigi's on a Wednesday. I often walk past this place because I rarely see many customers there. I was glad I finally decided to stop in.
I tried the Sopapilla cupcake. The recipe is a great idea and was executed well. As a point of reference, I'd rate MY Dad's Favorite Cupcakes (similar style cupcake) at four stars.
Here are reasons why I was satisfied with my experience
1. Finally, a cupcake vendor on Mill! Why other places do not sell cupcakes is beyond me. Haters and owners of other confectionaries* take note. If you think you can do better, by all means, put your money where your mouth is.
2. Frosting with a purpose - this is a specific type of cupcake, where the main feature is the frosting. So if you are looking for a muffin with glaze on it, go elsewhere. However, if you are looking for a fun, flavorful crown of creamy goodness with a small bit of cake underneath, try Gigi's. I was happy with the consistency of the frosting.
3. Selection - the variety is interesting and creative. The menu looks interesting. I'm looking forward to returning
4. Frozen yogurt - much better than the previous occupant. The peanut butter flavor I sampled was divine.
I was not so happy with the prices, lack of smaller-sized cake options, and slight dryness of the cake.
* I often suspect that the people who post the worst reviews, type in obnoxious ALL-CAPS-OMG, and have no photos on their profiles, are competitors, jaded lovers, or some other non genuine sort. Real reviewers review the restaurant based on what that place intends to offer, not what you think should be on the menu. Yeah I'm talking about you, fake Yelper, Felper, or what have you. If you are a genuine Yelper and indeed hate the place, then that's okay.
