| - I would recommend coming here earlier during the day as there will likely be a) more flavors and b) fresher product. Not that the cupcakes we had were stale or anything, but near closing, the cupcake selection dwindles and the frosting looks a little like it's been sitting out for too long.
I've long been wanting to visit FuManChu Cupcakes for the longest time, after seeing rave reviews of it online. Because I'm allergic to alcohol, I opted to try one of their non-alcoholic cupcakes. I got the sea salt caramel cupcake, for my love of caramel and sea salt. The cupcake was slightly disappointing in that it was basically all frosting and caramel and hardly any cake. It was also on the very sweet side, so if you have a major sweet tooth, this place is for you. The cake could have been a little more moist, as well. The cupcake overall was just okay for me - I probably would not crave it and at $4, it's higher priced than even cupcakes in NYC.
My friend had the white russian and said it she couldn't taste any of the alcohol - not sure if it's supposed to.
I like that FuManChu has unique flavors, especially for the lovers of liquor out there, but I've just had better tasting cupcakes that are more "blow-your-mind" elsewhere. Definitely worth at least one visit though.
