Cream soda, root beer float, Arnold Palmer and raspberry lemonade: Delicious beverages ... or cupcakes? At this Uptown sweet shop, they're the latter. Owner/pastry chef Darius Williams bakes up more than 30 creative cupcake flavors, as well as a few classics, so look for standards such as chocolate and vanilla alongside more than a half-dozen unique creations (such as toasted hazelnut) daily. Coffees are totally sweet too, as Williams blends red velvet, caramel cream and vanilla cream flavoring in with roasted beans. (Plain ol' coffee is available too.)
