After years of R&D, it was here where 4SQ's "Pilgrim" technology *actually worked* for the very first time (Aug 16, 2013). This was Foursquare's "invented the Flux Capacitor" moment. :)
Jess NaldoJune 14, 2015Everything is basically heaven in your mouth here: Pistachio, Dreaming Princess, Southern Red Velvet, and Carrot Cake. Wait is a bit long if there's a line so prepare to just stand there... Standing.Upvoted Jan 11
Get a slice of the Black and White cake To Go. Bring it home as a surprise treat for your wife. It will totally erase all the shit you're in trouble for. Yeah, it's that good.
Paula BuzzoOctober 16, 2023We ordered red velvet and carrot cupcakes and raspberry and Nutella cheesecakes. Everything tasty. We went on a Sunday morning, so there was no line, and the attendance was super quick.
- Lizzy KDecember 16, 2019A NYC classic bakery! Strawberry Shortcake, Brooklyn Blackout, Banana Nutella and more
Mike FriedlichJanuary 31, 2018One of the best bakeries in NYC. Cookie Dough Cake slice was tremendous, possibly the best cake I’ve ever had. Brooklyn Blackout cupcake was very good but the cake of the cupcake was not too good.
Hands down the best vanilla bean cake I've ever had. The slices of cake are more expensive then the cupcakes, but worth it. The layers of icing make the cake more moist and delicious then cupcake imho
TingJuly 21, 2015Not just a little cupcake bakeshop, the gluten free pistachio cheesecake is pretty decent as well! Love that it's not so sugary sweet unlike most American bakes.
Niki Katherine HolmesNovember 20, 2018Banana pudding was scrumptious. They have adorable single-serving cheesecakes in a variety of flavors, and are famous for their black and white cupcakes.- Andrew ChoiMarch 15, 2014Delicious cupcakes with cake equivalents. Cake portions are huge! Try the Dreaming Princess, because I'm a dreaming princess.
Bubba BrooksJanuary 15, 2018Split the Brooklyn Blackout cake slice. Very moist. Decadent. The Oreo and coconut cake looked great as well. Actually, it all looked great.
Missy MackeyNovember 23, 2021The best cake slices in the city! I love the cookie dough and the strawberry crunch
Alyssa B.August 15, 2021They have an iced chai latte perfect for humid summer days, had it with almond milk (ran out of soy) and it tasted like horchata… ?anyway im making it my go-to drink!
Sweta MohapatraSeptember 6, 2015Most of their cakes also come as a cupcake, so try them first to see what you like since the cake portions are big. Everything is delicious though, you can't go wrong.- ProTip for Summer 2014: Take your iced coffee to go and enjoy it on the leather chairs across the street (outside the leather shoppe!)
Doraly PantaleonSeptember 28, 2014My favorite coffee shop in soho it's a bakery as well and they serve illy coffee!!! It's also a super cute spot
Zack KinslowMarch 17, 2016My go-to coffee spot in the neighborhood. Their cakes are pretty insane too (and I'm not a sweets guy).
Elvis RodricksJuly 22, 2018What you get here are cupcakes with no preservatives or shortening- you'll notice in taste and texture. The carrot cupcake was freshly soft and top cream was delicious.
Great little place for those with a sweet tooth. I had a carrot cupcake and it was excellent. Many more things to try. I'll be going back.
They offer a lot for a bakery including breakfast/early lunch options (oatmeal, too). Atmosphere and brand are super cohesive. Staff are helpful and listen. Cakes look awesome, so I stay away.
Grab a coffee and a little baby cheesecake! Everything is reasonably priced and the staff are a bunch of sweethearts.
Best cake in NYC. Carrot cake, dreaming princess, red velvet all good. So moist!!
- DorouliniMay 24, 2018Great variety of cupcakes! I tried the red velvet and it was really tasty and fresh.
Hrudika GaribaAugust 1, 2013You can't miss this place, the cupcakes are to DIE for. Perfectly baked with perfect amount of sugar. They bake right in front of you, super fresh!
Umm...they have an adorable little ice cream cart in the summer (parked just outside of the shop) and the red velvet is AH-MAZING. There's red velvet cake IN IT. Yeah. I know.
Huseyin EncDecember 21, 2014Uuuunbelievable place you don't worry about calories then this your place must definitely give a try to pudding
Ahmed BMarch 14, 2016Banana. Nutella. Cake. Moist and delicious. Get a coffee to balance things out.
I'm so addicted to their Rosewater Pistachio cupcakes and iced lattes! Highly recommended!
The best cupcakes in the U.S. as rated by Food + Wine (and me). The banana nutella cake is 🔥 😜
AerieFebruary 21, 2012Cupcakes and beyond… all homemade sweet treats in the sweetest neighborhood with shopping all around you. And in our opinion, it’s better than Magnolia!- Torrey, Copy/Editorial Director
Jane JohnsenFebruary 14, 2014Known for the blue velvet cupcake, featured in German Vogue. Blueberry cake with Italian cream cheese frosting!
HashtagNYUMay 5, 2016Blue Velvet is not just a seminal film by David Lynch — it is also a delicious cupcake at the Little Cupcake Bake Shop.
Jacob ForsterJune 10, 2015Homemade Ice cream is sooo underrated! If you like red velvet cake, the southern red velvet cake ice cream is off the charts!!
Naeemah LeonardApril 9, 2016Everything is good here - love the German chocolate cake and the Vanilla Bean icecream is addictive. Great date spot....
raymondweilNovember 1, 2011Love comes in bite sizes (literally) at Little Cupcake Bakeshop which specializes in baking traditional American desserts, using only the freshest ingredients. Independence is a state of mind.
Amanda BOctober 11, 2011Adorable and seriously one of the best bakeries in town! I got the simple but utterly divine vanilla cupcake w/ chocolate frosting. Moist, not too sweet, and had the perfect crumb!
Gansevoort Hotel GroupJanuary 19, 2011A must try cupcake shop. Our favorites are the red velvet, the carrot and the "mott" street (a tiramisu inspired cupcake) which can all be washed down with some fantastic Illy coffee!
this place has deceptively good coffee, never has a line, and has a tiny little model of itself on the wall (for all you fans of meta-dollhouses)
IreneAugust 16, 2015Small, cute bakery with delicious dessert options. German Chocolate and Banana Nutella cakes were spot on.- TiffanyNovember 16, 2015Lots and lots of cupcake and cake options! Get the cookies and creme cheesecake or the banana pudding.
Charley ToddAugust 6, 2015Cupcakes are good but experiment with some of the more eccentric takes on classics like key lime pie and cheesecakes.
Phil DeeeeeeeJune 30, 2013I got the Nutella cheesecake pod for my lady who insisted I shouldn't. I told her that she would love it, even though I'd never had it. Turns out I was right. Get it for someone you're sweet on.
Kevin VengOctober 20, 2015Cupcakes too good! I gained 14 pounds in 2 weeks! Don't get the first one, don't know what they put in them but they are highly addictive! Watch out!
Rollin LeeJuly 14, 2015Cute little shop in Soho. You will love this place if you like sweets. My favorite is the Brooklyn.
Geoffrey VasudevanAugust 20, 2016The smores brownie is amazing especially if you can warm it up! Also the ice cream is surprisingly good
Bastian BeyerOctober 21, 2013Try a piece of Nutella Banana Chocolate Chip cake, it's amazing. But be careful: it is huuuuuge
Madhu MJuly 4, 2015Banana pudding is amazing. Cheesecakes are also really good. Slices of cake are really really big.
