Hanan MalOctober 6, 2014I tried the salted caramel cupcake, the first bit with icing was great but the icing become overwhelming (I'm not a sweet tooth) the actual cake was too good to be true!
Eric HarveyMay 5, 2014This place is my go-to for sweets in the Gaslamp! Try the gluten-free red velvet if you're eating clean. Grab a cupcake-in-a-cup if you're taking a stroll downtown.
Justin RandAugust 20, 2015The peanut butter cup cupcake was incredible, especially the bottom of it.
EmilyPostsMay 18, 2012I'm not a huge cupcake fan but this place is great. The cake isn't dry - so moist and yummy!!! The tiny ones are the perfect size.
KayleeSeptember 7, 2015Amazing cupcakes- keep it simple and try the vanilla it's very rich without over complicating.
JoyJune 8, 2011My favorite cupcakes anywhere hands down. Their signature orange chip is outta this world. Peanut butter and carrot are also very tasty.
Michael McAllisterMarch 16, 2014Like many cupcakes, the cake is somewhat dry. Frosting is excellent though which makes up for the dry cake.
Jonathan SasseMay 24, 2011I fancy myself a bit of a cupcake afficionado and this is as good as they get in San Diego - get a Red Velvet, thank me later ;-)
Steven David BranonMay 6, 2011Next time your all dolled up and downtown with your friends stop by the photostudio and get a nightlife portrait. And a free beer!
Mr. & Mrs. Jasper and Mary ThomasJanuary 27, 2013You need to try the Red Velvet Cupcake... Dee and Lish! ;)
Senator FeldmanOctober 2, 2011Open till midnight on weekends (really 1130), but they clean up & leave door open
Erica StallingsMay 31, 2011It's No Lucy and Leo's Cupcakery Magnolia Bakery or . If you have high cupcake standards you be disappointed!
Just close your eyes and point, all the cupcakes here are good.
Joy HJuly 15, 2012Have had much better cupcakes at other places; plus they rip you off for ComicCon, refusing to sell you one cupcake (you must buy two). Skip it and go to Extraordinary Desserts.
Lisa SMarch 4, 2012Watch when they ring your order up. I was overcharged...$39.50 for a dozen MINI cupcakes and two regular size ones. On top of that, the cupcakes were only so-so. This place is way overrated!

"6/17/13 - Gluten free cupcakes. Only chocolate and vanilla (at least when I went) with your choice of frosting. Chocolate was delicious but a little too dense."
