I always rave about these cupcakes to my friends and family. A must for bringing out of town visitors.
Usually when presented with the option of chocolate or vanilla, I always go chocolate- but not here. Just the plain vanilla cupcakes with vanilla frosting are amazing! Such a good mouth-feel and a really rich vanilla flavor. The cupcakes are moist, and the frosting has a nice creamy texture (they are generous with it too) and then a sprinkle of sugar or another topping gives a subtle hit of crunch which really sets it all off.
They also offer french-press coffee, yum.
As a grad student I understand the reviews concerned with the price, but I like to keep in mind that it is a local business and they have costs that they need to think about as well. A high quality product requires high quality ingredients. Also, it is a good deterrent for me not to eat them all the time (calories, eek), but definitely a fun splurge now and again :-)
