The Cup – Chesterfield

The most delicious and savory cupcake i have ever tasted and it is very presentable/​instagramable!

Delicious cupcakes! We tried the red velvet & the chocolate. Very moist & flavorful, without being too big! I’d rather have a normal sized cupcake at a normal price:)

A friend and I were looking for a special dessert for new year’s eve (we are making a nice dinner at home to avoid the crowds) and decided to give this place a try.
One of the best cupcakes I’ve ever had!!! The cake is moist and the frosting is light, fluffy, and delicious. They’re reasonably priced for the amount of cupcake you get. The only thing I wished was that we had gone earlier in the day so that we could see all the options… but that’s not their fault, and that’s how you know it’s good! We will definitely be back!!!

Oh my goodness, I loved this place. Not to mention that the cupcakes were worth the trip! I’ve wanted to visit forever but always missed store hours.
It’s beautiful inside, well laid out, clean, and roomy.
We arrived near closing time, and how nice it was to be greeted by Caleb enthusiastically and patiently with all my questions as a newbie. Caleb is awesome!!! Winning personality and not too chatty (when cupcakes are calling). What’s your best seller? Which one is your favorite?
I picked only two because I wasn’t going to have any help eating them. Strawberry (yummy!!) and Turtle. I prefer caramel flavor that is less maple-​y but it was still delicious. Their classic flavors are only $ 2.95 which is modest compared to many cupcake shops.
Cannot wait to go back!

I looked forward to a nice morning with my daughter all week long to pick out cupcakes for my sister’s 41^st birthday. We went to The Cup the morning of 10÷10÷15 and were so excited, I have never been to The Cup before and was eager to see what it was all about.
Mandi filled our order and she was VERY unpleasant. Almost like we were a huge imposition. I don’t know if she woke up on the wrong side of the bed or what – but I sure hope her day got better. Frankly, it shouldn’t be too much to ask to be kindly greeted with a smile and opening dialogue such as «Welcome to The Cup, what can I help you with today» and a smile upon departure while stating «I sure hope to see you all again real soon, thanks for coming in.»
I went as far as to apologize to my daughter for the way we both were treated. No business should ever make a customer feel as unwelcome as we were made to feel. Next time I’ll take my $ 50.00 and head to Jilly’s down the street. When you are rude or impolite to or in front of my daughter, it’s a deal breaker, I don’t care how good your cupcakes are.

Wow! These cupcakes are fantastic! However, get ready to pay for every taste bud that activates. I would happily pay $ 2.69 for a cupcake this yummy, but you have to at least say «thank you» when I pay for me and my 4 kids. The service was nonexistent and during minimal forced exchanges of communication, the lady was cold and downright rude.

I was yearning for a great cupcake and decided to try the cup. I’ve been driving past the bakery for a year and heard great things about them. They don’t have cupcakes with just cream cheese frosting or whipped cream. Only buttercream or a buttercream/​cream cheese mix. I do not like buttercream which is a shame because it ruined a pretty good cupcake. I tried the red velvet because it was the closest to the frosting I prefer. The cake was super moist and quite delicious. The frosting ruined it. It had a cardboard taste which I can only relate to the powder sugar. I would love to go back but with this as my only option of frosting ever… I won’t return.

If your name is, «The Cup,» shouldn’t you have a selection of coffees? My employer has a better selection for free in the cafeteria. All they have is a pot of Kaldi’s (the kid couldn’t tell me anything about the style) and one pot of decaf. Serve yourself.
The teenager seemed like an hourly worker that wasn’t into nice conversation, socially kind of awkward. They don’t even have heavy whipping cream for my coffee, only those cheap carb-​loaded fake creamers.
I didn’t try the cupcakes but they looked good. Probably worth the approximately $ 2.85/each I could see on the menu.
They say they’ve been there an hour and a half. I’d say to make it longer, they’ll need better seating and more selection than a few cupcakes and one pot of coffee.

So, this place is a bit hard to find. I do mean a bit. My GPS on my car was wrong, really wrong. It’s on the same side as Barnes & Noble. Just have to drive a bit farther to see the hidden sign. As Patt C. mentioned in her review, I couldn’t have anything except the drinks. :(Friendly employees, but the food is definitely not Kat compatible. Nice ambiance. Very airy & sooo much light.

I met Kat V. for a little conversation and catching-​up.
She could not eat anything in the store, because there’s butter in everything. So, she got a bottled tea.
I selected the carrot top cupcake. They had chocolate peanut butter, double chocolate, red velvet, red Cardinal, strawberry, Italian crème and a couple others I cannot remember, but there was a mocha in there somewhere.
They have gluten-​free options and cookies (two offerings I saw today — sugar and mini-​flower), and double things — which looked like large chocolate chip cookies sandwiched in cream or frosting in the chill-​case.
I don’t tend to like cupcakes all that much. I don’t like cake in general, unless it’s exceedingly spectacular, like hummingbird cake or carrot wedding cake.
This was a good cupcake. The cake was tender and moist (My most-​hated word in the world, but I had to say it.). Not too dense.
The frosting (cream cheese?) was a little sweet for my palate and maybe a little gritty.

Their cupcakes are the best in the area. They are a perfect size. Moist, delicious and always different flavors. Plus they are decently priced.

The cupcakes & sugar cookies are divine! I am a chocolate fan but they made me a fan of their very simple vanilla. Very moist cake, great frosting and they always have a great variety. I met Erica at a party & I bake from scratch. Her design for the party was incredible but I usually take a small piece of cake because I am a cake snob. I loved it & cut a large piece for myself after tasting the lemon cake. Amazing!,

These are hands down the best cupcakes I have had in STL. I like both locations on The Cup. The cupcakes are a good size, moist, and the icing is to-​die-​for. I really wish I could buy extra icing– it is perfection. The Italian Crème Cupcake is my very favorite. The Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcake comes in close behind. Try these cupcakes. They can make your knees weak!

The Cup has long been my favorite cupcakes in STL. This location is much more accessible than the Central West End location — and that some people are complaining about parking is laughable! Obviously they’ve never been to the other CWE location.
My doctor’s office is nearby so I decided to stop by after a recent appointment. It’s a weird turn in — feels like there should be an entrance closer but you have to turn in by the book store and wind around to get here.
I came by at 5 and was a little worried that there wouldn’t be a good selection, but there was! I got 2 vanilla/​vanilla, one red velvet and one tuxedo (chocolate cake with vanilla butter cream). I also got a frosted cookie. I was feeling hungry!
Service was super friendly and the price was right for these beauties.
Alas, I ended up not being able to eat one that evening. I was too full from dinner. My husband enjoyed one. And the next day, I took the remaining ones to work and shared with colleagues. I had the vanilla and the cookie and dang were they delicious…
This is going to be a frequent stop when I’m in the area!

I was happy to see that The Cup makes the «classic» cupcakes as well as the more trendy flavors. I enjoyed the Gold Rush cupcake, which is the classic yellow cake and chocolate frosting. Will definitely add The Cup to my list of dessert places.

My first try of Banilla. I rate it 3 out of 4. Banana bread, cake, pie are my fav. The cake here is good. Not dry. But a tad sweet. The buttercream is vanilla which is very sweet. The banana chip on top is cool and there is also sugar on top. I’m glad I tried it but probably will stick to other flavors.
I wanted the Lemon Drop and they were out and didn’t appear to be making more. So sad as this is my all time favorite flavor here. They close pretty early during the week so about 5pm Sat and they are out. Oh well. A sign that I didn’t need anymore.
The store is clean and the service is always prompt and friendly. I’ll have to wait another month for another shot at the Lemon Drop!

My mother is a fan of this place, but I’ve had a fair share of cupcakes and «The Cup» is not unique to me. First of all the cupcakes are enormous, so if you’re watching your calories, your’e better off just eating half at a time. My favorite flavor of cupcakes is lemon, NOT here though! The cake and the icing was just edible, not that tasty. i was very disappointed. I’ve tried a few others before too, but I dont think they taste as good as the other companies ive had in chicago and michigan. My mom claims they have an amazing peach flavor in the summer… maybe thats their claim to fame. But for me, I’d rather save my calories for something else!

I’ve always been a fan of cupcakes over cakes all of my life except for ice cream cake, but I most say my absolute love for them did not come to life until I moved to St. Louis and was introduced to the cup.
I’ve definitely tried other cupcake bakeries in St. Louis, but I most say none of them compare to the cup and its strawberry cupcake that I do adore. Needless to say I was more than ecstatic to know that we have in Chesterfield that is quite quaint. It’s small it’s not as big as the one in CWE, but still very nice and enjoyable.
I absolutely love the strawberry cupcakes, but the one thing that I do not like, because I’m a creature of habit, is that they rotate the cupcakes so I’m not always able to get the flavor I desire.

You could call me a convert. I used to be a fan of another cupcake shop down the road that rhyme’s with… Milly’s… but this place is BETTER!
The prices and the size of the cupcakes are much more reasonable. Having gotten used to other said cupcake shop, I’m still always stunned when I look at my receipt and see that my four cupcakes cost less than $ 20! Woo hoo!
But seriously, they make a good, solid cupcake here. The cake is moist and perfect, the icing tastes wonderful, and the size is right. They are slightly larger than your at-​home cups.
And the people here are so cheery and happy. It’s a cute little shop, the biggest downside is they don’t have much visibility from the road, they’re kind of tucked away. But once you find them, you’ll most likely be back.

I have been a The Cup fan since before the name change (used to be The Cupcakery). Such a fun little shop with multiple locations. So glad they opened one out in west county!
Their buttercream is the best around (I get a tub to take home!). I know the cupcake craze is big, but not all cupcakes are alike. These are truly the best. Moist, great size, fun flavors. Their sugar cookies are top notch too!
Favorite flavors include: Tuxedo, Peanut butter cup, Espresso, Cuppa Coffee Cake (warm it up!), Strawberry, Holy Moly, and Italian cream.
