    Great place! The cupcakes are really fresh. I had the cookies n' cream and the red velvet. The cake was very moist.

    1208 W. Webster Ave. - Chicago (Lincoln Park)

    My FAVORITE!!!! This place is so adorable, very nostalgic. Not only do they have the best vanilla cupcakes, but they also have other treats. Try the double doozy. It is a cookie sandwich with ICING!

    This is a very SMALL shop, and the cupcakes are very pretty too look at and not too shabby to eat. Salted Carmel is my favorite.

    Disappointed by these cupcakes. I had the malted cupcake and a vanilla with vanilla frosting. The cake and icing were dry.

    This is my 2nd favorite cupcake place. The mini cupcakes are so cute and are perfect for a small snack. The red velvet is amazing!

    I hear the cupcakes are really good here. I went on a Sunday at 3pm and they were all out. So I headed to the ever-favorite Sweet Mandy B's.
