I stopped in here on July 4th because I wanted a few sweets for the evening. I went with the banana cupcake with strawberry buttercream frosting because the girl up front said it was her very favorite. Then I asked what she recommended between the glazed donut cupcake and the birthday cupcake and she said glazed. I also ordered the chocolate chip cookie because when a bakery offers one I have to try it.
The overall consensus on all the cupcakes was that they were sickeningly sweet. The glazed donut cake part was very bland and the glaze on top tasted like nothing. The strawberry buttercream frosting was just overly sweet. It has potential because they do use fresh strawberries but it does not need all the excess sugar. The chocolate chip cookie wasn't bad it was just super average.
All these high reviewers must like the overly sweet baked goods that Retro Bakery serves.
