| - The best thing I like about this place is that every day of the week they have a different menu, and they change their entire menu every season.
The first time I came here my boyfriend and I got the dozen mini cupcakes for 12 dollars (the usual price of one mini is around 1.25) and so got to try twelve different flavors. We were at the Plaza for a late night show, and so when we ordered them it was within the hour that they would be closing, so a few of the cupcakes weren't very moist, which is fine. I don't expect the cupcake to be in mint condition at that time. I enjoyed all the flavors we got, and really enjoyed being able to try so many.
The second time we came here was in the evening again, but not SO late. I got a full-sized Grasshopper cupcake, and my boyfriend got the White Chocolate Pumpkin cupcake. Now, I have stated before that when I buy a cupcake late in the day I don't expect it to be in out-of-the-oven blessedly-moist condition, and so wasn't upset when the top was a little dry. I don't get people whining about cupcakeries who have not-so-moist cupcakes. Do you think they make them in the back all day long? Heck no. Most of these places get them shipped to them from their bakery. I understand if you walk in the moment, or even within the hour of them opening and get a dry cupcake- now that's unreasonable. Anywho. It was a little dry, but what really urked me was that it wasn't minty. At all. Almost 4 dollars for a chocolate cupcake with green icing. Seriously? It was very depressing to me since I adore mint.
My boyfriend lucked out on his Pumpkin cupcake, not only was is VERY moist, it was delicious.
Note that the best deal is to get their 12 mini cupcakes for 12 dollars- you get to try many different flavors for a relatively decent price, compared to one cupcake for 4 dollars, and you might hate it. You also get a free water bottle when you buy the mini dozen.
The guy who runs it/works here (I don't really know) is kind of strange- he told us that the best way to eat our full sized cupcakes was to flip them over in their plastic box, smash it with the wrapper still on, take the wrapper off and eat it with a fork. He claims that this way there is a equal cake to frosting ratio. My boyfriend tried it, but I thought it was sacrilegious. I know some cupcake fanatics who would faint at the very idea of defacing it.
