| - Cupcakes places seem to be popping up like Starbucks these days, and I've been to quite a few of them. Hands down, without a second thought, Retro Bakery's cupcakes are absolutely the best cupcakes I've ever had anywhere. By now I've tried almost all their flavors and each one is just as good as the last. Every day they a special flavor (Maple Bacon anyone?), while on Wednesdays and Saturdays they serve a flavor of the month offered, yes, for that month only.
A little known secret: They also make cakes. Check out their website for some of the amazing special order designs they've completed. Sometimes they also have cakes in the display for sale, and if you see one when you visit, grab one! You won't regret it, the chocolate cake that I tried rivaled any dessert in any top restaurant. Yes, it was that good.
The owners are very hands on and a treat. Nine times out of ten at least one of them will be there when you visit, which makes them stand out from other local cupcake spots as well.
Make sure you visit Retro - it's not as far away as you think it is (I know, I thought the same my first trip). It's worth a drive from CA and AZ even.
