Nostalgia Cupcakes

I’m not a huge fan of cupcakes but I like these alot. I’ve had Georgetown Cupcakes, Cupcake factory in Baltimore and other ones near in far. Nostalgia hands down is my favorite. It’s not just a cupcake its a dessert. The icing isn’t just icing. It’s like smooth creamy pudding on top of a moist melt in your mouth cake. Tons of flavors, check out their site to see what the flavors of the day is. My favorite is anything involving peanut butter.
A little on the pricey side, but either way still good.
They also do curb side service!

I love me some cupcakes, and I would NEVER turn one down. That being said, these were missing some major punch for me.
The store is adorable, super quaint and the checkered flooring is amazing.
The actual cupcakes though, leave much to be desired. Kind of bland and nothing really exciting. No interesting flavors to discover here and and the filled ones are kind of icky.

Bought the groupon which gave a dozen cupcakes for half price. I drive a combined total of 65 miles to pick them up. I could tell they looked very dry but when I tasted one it was horrible!!! Tasted old and stale. What a waste even with the groupon deal. Stay away.

This is by far the worst cupcake shop I’ve been to in the nation. First of all, the one lady that was working was incredibly rude and not helpful at all… she never cracked a smile at once and it seemed like she had better to do than answer our questions… and we were the ONLY two people in the store. The cupcakes themselves are not good at all… you are better off with Betty Crocker cake mix because these are way dry. The salted caramel is wayyy too salty and the yellow cake on the bottom is plain and dry. The monkey business cupcake is like eating a grocery store-​bought cupcake. I will NEVER go back.

Not impressed at all. For a street as charming as Main Street in Annapolis, this place looked liked it belonged in a strip mall. Also, the service was terrible — the attendant was just obnoxious.

The store front is set back and hidden from the street. The ladies were busy baking in the back so took a few minutes to come help the customers but they come out so be patient. Their aprons are dusted with flour and frosting. There is a bunch of magic going on in the back. They sell cupcakes but really focus on wedding and special occasion cakes.
Picked out the pistachio special flavor cupcake of the day. It was slightly dry from being in the display but it’s not like you can’t display the gorgeous cupcakes. They were a little too generous with the frosting and because it was on the soft side a huge dollop fell off when I took a bite. Would like a little less sweetness and little more pistachio flavor. $ 3.18 is average for cupcakes these days. I won’t give up though, I’ll be back to try another flavor.

Not bad but if you are going to specialize in something and charge $ 3.00 for 1 cupcake it better be phenomenal. And these are just ok. Cool Idea and a great place to get out of the heat.
The décor is terrible. It looks like a plain Jane Baskin and Robbins.
The have a Unilocal sticker on their door so hopefully they are taking constructive criticism. Fix the décor and up your game.

Walking along Main Street our eyes were delighted to see a cupcakery! We were so happy to see vegan cupcakes on the menu. We have to drive to D.C. for vegan cupcakes, how tasty! Well, we’ve stopped in on three different occasions and there were none available. We were told they are served on Fridays and Saturdays, but they «haven’t gotten around to it» on both a Friday and a Saturday.
So I’m not completely able to tell you how the cupcakes are, as this vegan apparently won’t be able to find out.
Update: We’ve been able to catch some vegan cupcakes after checking in at my daughter’s insistance and they are wonderful! Trick is timing your visit right if you are dairy free or veg. Adjusting my score to 3 stars that would be 4 if there were dairy free every day.

(look for DAY OLDS — see below)
Delicious cupcakes — though I have to admit i usually stick to the basics — yellow cake with choc frosting — thats just how i roll when it comes to cupcakes
The cake is buttery without being overly sweet, frosting is delish.
My previous job required me to spend a lot of time in Annapolis, 98% of which was either boring or stressful — Nostalgia Cupcakes is a perfect antidote/​pick me up
I’ve seen comparisons in these reviews to Duncan Hines — I actually find Duncan Hines /​from a box cakes and cupcakes more appealing than about 90% of what I come across in bakeries and such — so my taste leans heavily in that DH direction.
My hold back is paying 3 bucks for a cupcake — but i guess that’s the industry (again, why I favor DH so often)
*********** BUDGET FRIENDLY TIP ******************
Get the DAY OLD CUPCAKES — when u make cupcakes at home, theyre perfectly delicious 1 day later — the same holds true here and it’s half the price!

This place was awesome! The cupcakes are wonderful (I had 3 flavors), the service is great, and the location is perfect.
If you are in Annapolis, you have to try at least 1 cupcake!

Completely unimpressed. If you are going to specialize in something, do it right, please. Crumb was dry, frostings too grainy, and even my cold glass of milk didn’t help it to go down. I think Duncan Hines or Betty Crocker could do better.
The cupcake shop in Eastport (over the Spa Creek Bridge in Annapolis and across the street from The Boatyard Bar & Grill) produces tastier cuppies. (forgot the name). Their original location is in Baltimore.

YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY…
Went close to closing time but they still had a decent selection… had the salted caramel (heavenly) and husband had Grandma’s Best Chocolate (scrumptious). Staff was über friendly and didn’t rush us at all even though it was getting late. Wish we lived closer to Annapolis because most if the cupcakes in DC aren’t worth the dough…

I love sweets and I especially love cupcakes! We went into Annapolis for the day and I had to swing by this place and give it a try. Its a cute little place tucked into a building. We ordered Grandma’s best Yellow cake with chocolate frosting and the little boy blue. It was okay. Not better than Charm City Cupcakes and not worth the Annapolis weekend traffic, but since we were there, it was a nice treat. I think I could have made something just as good at home. So, not amazing, but good.

I would give this place 3.5 stars.
The place isn’t welcoming as the guy behind the counter was not helpful. I asked him what the different cupcakes are, and he gave me terse answers, argh!
I had the Little Blue Boy (yellow cake with blue buttercream frosting and chocolate filling), and that was decent. But I’ve had better. My friend had the Chocolate City Cupcake, and she said that it was good as it had the dark chocolate tasty and it wasn’t too sweet.
I do like the different flavors they have there (i.e. pink lemonade or Mississippi mudslide). The cupcake is $ 3.00 each, which I guess is average for a cupcake.

I always have a hard time writing reviews for places that were just kind of okay, since I don’t really have much to say. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great. We got two cupcakes to share, the first was a chocolate cake, domed high with chocolate frosting. I was afraid it was going to be too rich but it was actually a lighter, more mousse like frosting. We also got a salted caramel cupcake. I thought with such an unique flavor it would be fantastic but it was fairly forgettable.
If you’re in the area and really craving a cupcake then this place will do the job, but it’s not my favorite.

I have been to many cupcake places in D.C., and NYC and this rates better than Red Velvet (worst in DC) but definitely not better than Georgetown cupcake (best in the world). I really liked the spiciness of the hot chocolate cake, but the frosting kinda sucked. I like really soft, non butter cupcake frosting, so this is more preference than anything else. Try it if you are there, but its nothing to travel to the area for.

Stopped by here today on a beautiful sunny Saturday. We tried the Southern Red Velvet and the Hot Chocolate Cake.
[Southern Red Velvet Cupcake]
A red, heavy cake bread with a really sweet and thick cream cheese frosting. I wasn’t impressed with the cake portion or the overly sweet cream cheese frosting that was more reminiscent of buttercream frosting.
[Hot Chocolate Cake Cupcake]
A heavy chocolate cake bread with a mountain of whipped cream frosting and a flame decoration on top. The frosting was too sweet for my taste, but was much lighter than the cream cheese frosting on the Southern Red Velvet. The chocolate cake portion was interesting and leaves a light spicy flavor towards the end very similar to the hot spicy chocolate drink, «Lucy», at ACKC.
Overall, I liked the atmosphere with a cute retro modern feel with a checkered tiled floor, hues of light blue, and large round shabby chic white tables. The cupcake wrappers even had their name «Nostalgia Cupcakes» on them. I also liked that they offered samples of the cupcakes they were featuring. The tea was pretty cool too, as each tea bag came in its own little box (for about $ 2.75 each). Unfortunately, the shop is embedded inside a building without a real window front directly in front of the street and offered no outdoor seating.
TIPS:
–Water is cheaper than buying hot tea
–Two cupcakes and two teas came out to about $ 11
–They offer samples of their cupcakes
–There is a bathroom inside
–They offer vegan cupcakes

Decided to head to Annapolis for lunch and had to make sure we saved room for desert! Was very excited to try the cupcakes at the new Nostalgia Cupcakes in Annapolis and glad we did! They were delicious! Sharon is amazing and very sweet! Can’t wait to take my parents when they visit for a nice treat!
Super cute and chic little cupcake bakery!

S u g a r R u s h! While riding up west street yesterday my daughter and I spotted Nostalgia. We found a quick parking spot, amazingly, across the street and headed in.
It’s a cute little shop newly opened in January. No frills, just drinks and cupcakes. Also pupcakes which is a cute idea.
I’m not a big fan of spending $ 3 plus on something I can make myself but for an occasional treat I’ll bite! And bite we did!
We got a half dozen: lemon-​cello, red velvet, toasted coconut, coconut, salted caramel and vanilla/​vanilla. The toasted coconut was just perfect. The frosting to cupcake ratio was great. So tasty. The coconut was delicious with a surprising pineapple filling. The salted caramel was amazing with chocolate piping. The lemon-​cello was way to tart. The cake part was vanilla which was disappointing. The vanilla vanilla was good. The red velvet was spot-​on delicious. The cream cheese frosting was subtle but a great combo with the cake.
The coconuts were by far the best, the caramel was wonderful and the red velvet absolutely marvelous.
Nostalgia is a great place to get a deliciously made sugar filled treat.
Dangerous but delicious!

I’ve been eager to check out this newcomer to the DC-​area cupcake craze for the past few weeks, and finally got a chance yesterday. Nostalgia Cupcakes sits in a cute little shop off of Main Street and offers several varieties of cupcakes, plus appropriate beverages like milk, tea, and coffee for your snacking. We ordered a half-​dozen pack to go: two chocolate peanut butter, a mocha cream, a yellow cake with vanilla frosting, and two «Little Boy Blues» (yellow cake with fudge inside and blue icing) for my friend’s nephews.
The cupcakes are delicious and rich, with a very dense cake and loads of icing. The nephews tore into the Little Boy Blues, which equaled great hilarity– little boys + tons of blue frosting. But I managed to dive into the carnage and get a few bites, and they were really tasty. The chocolate filling is a great surprising touch! The «grownups» ate the chocolate peanut butters and those were my least favorite, but I’m not a big fan of super-​rich chocolate desserts to start. The other two still remain and will probably get scarfed down today!
Definitely a fun addition to the Annapolis waterfront, and I’m excited for some more warm weather for strolling and picking up more cupcakes.
