I have to say I'm really surprised to read the bad reviews on here. I've made several visits to Designer Cookie over the last couple months and have been impressed each time.
Their cookies are so good, I crave them and find myself being thankful they aren't open after 5 during the week or my behind soon wouldn't be able to fit through their front door.
I've tried many of their cupcakes, and have been really happy with them all. They don't taste like they are made from a mix (like a certain other shoppe in the area), and although I am not a fan of their vanilla icing - somethings just not right with it - i love the Orea icing, thier Peanut butter icing is delish, and the chocolate is super yummy also.
Yes they are a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for.
I have to say this is my favorite cupcake place in Toronto!
