Pillsbury has more flavor.

by ViennaD at Citysearch

Very cute cozy shop with baked goods that look great, but have no taste. Pillsbury tastes better than their product. Appalling for what they’re charging. I’ll stick to baking with real ingredients at home.

• Pros: Cute, cozy, shop.
• Cons: Bakes goods with no taste.

DELISH!!!

by ds1187 at Citysearch

While in Brooklyn today visiting my grandfather, I went to the Little Cupcake Bakeshop with my daughter, and was very pleasantly surprised! We thought the cupcakes were yummy!! I'm a baker (and a very good one i may add!!) and i loved it! The girls that worked there were friendly and greeted us as soon as we walked in. It was organized and clean (which is something i always look at before I order anything), and it had a comfortable atmosphere. We ordered 5 to go, and took a little taste of each when we got home. The red velvet was delicious...the cake was perfect, the golden cupcake had a nice vanilla flavor, devils food had good rich chocolate flavor, the carrot was moist and tasty, and the peanut butter was my least favorite but still good. The frosting on all of them had nice texture and taste. The banana pudding was creamy and delicious too!! I think this adorable little shop is soooo much better then Magnolia!! I found Magnolia cupcakes to be dry and tastless and their frosting tasted like crisco and sugar.....yuck!! Magnolia's staff was unfriendly, sloppy and robotic, and decor was boring. The Little Cupcake bakeshop is well worth the visit. I look forward to going back and tasting more of their yummy treats!!

• Cons: parking

OK, Ok, ok......I admit it, I'm hooked!!!

by bobbisunshine at Citysearch

I really didn't want to do this...but I finally gave in and now I'm hooked....I dunno how to explain it, I'm not sure if it's the dessert (BEST CUPCAKES THIS SIDE OF THE EQUATOR), the actual place (ATMOSPHERE IS AMAZING) or the beautiful people watching I enjoy (I'M KEEPING MY MOUTH SHUT ON THIS ONE)...maybe it's all three.....whatever it is.. All I can say is that I'm in love with the Little Cupcake Bakery!

• Pros: great dessert and coffee..staff is wonderful!!!
• Cons: difficult to find parking.

Ripped Off!

by tinktinker at Citysearch

We just came back from little cupcake bakeshop. We've been there for years. No problems until now; just realized that we got ripped off. A cupcake and a small banana pudding for $7.00. A gentleman with glasses took care of the transaction. When we realized what happened, it was too late since they were closing. Should have been $5.75 accordding to the website's menu. Extremely disappointed with the dishonest service.

• Pros: Nice decoration, good atmosphere
• Cons: DISHONEST SERVICE, THEY RIP YOU OFF!

If you like dry, stale cupcakes then this is the place for you.

My heading says it all. I bought 2 cupcakes, took a bite out of each and had to chuck them. Very hard to swallow. Wanted to buy a coffee to wash it all down but didn't want to take a chance with that either. Defn not recommended.

• Pros: it seems pretty empty everytime I walk by it so seating shouldn't be an issue
• Cons: everything else

Cool Cupcakes in Bay ridge!

by girzeldaleg at Citysearch

Finally something comparable to manhattan in bay ridge. I got 40 cupcakes for a birthday party and was not disapionted! These cupackes were amazing, i have had the Magnolia ones many times and I think i like these better! The cake was moist and the icing was thick but not too buttery. Even the simple vanilla cupcake was great. Red Velvet was the favorite of the crowd though!

Cupcake Heaven

by ilovebuttercream at Citysearch

After my visit to Little Cupcake bakeshop I was left absolutely amazed and speechless; but not to speechless enough to write an incredibly well deserved review for this incredible establishment in the Bay Ridge neighborhood of Brooklyn. Immediately as I pulled up to this bakery and noticed its playful, yet sophisticated and chic atmosphere my excitement grew. As I entered the bakery and was engulfed by the smell of freshly baked cupcakes, cheescakes and freshly brewed Illy espresso ( only used at the top establishments in the world) my brain was going haywire at the ethereal aroma of the entire shoppe. With the mint frosted walls, and its elegant chandeliers the bakeshoppe exudes traditional Americana life at its prime. With its light and airy red velvet cupcakes, and non cloying cream cheese frosting to its raspberry white chocolate cheescakes and hummingbird layer cake filled with delicious pecan one is surrounded by pure bliss. I can say without fear of any contradiction that this is the best cupcake bakeshoppe in the five boroughs. No pretentious staff, no overhyped cupcakes and actual sweet goodness. Needless to say it has my highest reccomendation!!!

• Pros: Amazing desserts are fair prices
• Cons: None come to mind

Wow!!!!

by rachel212 at Citysearch

I was intoduced to the Little Cupcake Bakeshop thru a friend who brought cupcakes to a party we were attending. When she told us where they were from, we were like Bay Ridge??? Being that we live on Staten Island, it's not often that we got to that neck of the woods. None of us knew there even was a cupcake shop there. We all just assumed they were from some place in the city....But let me tell you, these cupcakes were such a huge hit, needless to say there were none left over, even the cute pink boxes they were in were nowhere to be found.......OK..That was like 2 months ago, now 5 pounds later, it seems like we cant get enough of this place. My biggest mistake was visiting the shop because now it's so hard to stay away from it.....the red velvet was to die for.

• Pros: great cupcakes, atmosphere
• Cons: no parking
