| - This place is adorable. The décor is very welcoming and though it's not a large place, they fit a decent amount of seating inside. It's a great place to sit with a friend and have some yummy treats but I would get milk or water because the coffee is just average. My daughter's went over to Starbucks grabbed drinks and brought them over. The first time we came, six months ago, the cupcakes were to die for! I had the salted caramel bacon, filled with bacon and had the perfect balance of salty and sweet. My daughter had the Reese's which was moist and just plain luscious. We returned again earlier this year but they were closed through the New Year and finally we made it back this week for $2.00 Tuesday. We ordered a cocoa pebbles, Reese's, 2 S'mores Cupcakes and a cake pop. We sat down to eat them and lo and behold, the magic was gone. The Cocoa Pebbles one was dry inside and the cereal on top was so stale, The Reese's was just okay and lacked filling and seemed to be a tad bit overcooked and the S'mores, while rich, was kind of meh! We got a box to go and left without even finishing them. We were all underwhelmed by our last visit and my daughter even said that she was bummed she'd spent 2 bucks on it. On the other hand, she thoroughly enjoyed the cake pop.
Now, don't get me wrong, they were good cupcakes but I was comparing them to my initial visit and had even, at that point, put them up there with Sprinkles in NY. No joke! I guess I just expected that same rich, moist, perfectly balanced cupcake and I just didn't get it this time. We gave the leftovers to hubby and he thought they were good but a little heavy on the frosting and said that it seemed too thick/dense for the cupcake.
I am still a fan and will certainly return to try some of the other flavors but maybe not on Tuesday. I'll pay regular price like I did on my first visit but I would guess they are still making them fresh on Tuesdays, right? We'll see. and maybe it will be just as amazing as the first time. This place is lovely, the flavor selection is great and the people who work there are kind, efficient and patient as people mull over their choices. I just hope that the person who baked those cupcakes 6 months ago is back in the kitchen, otherwise my cupcake Nirvana search will continue.
That is all!
