Baked by Melissa

Boooo!!! My cupcakes werent fresh at all. One day later they were hard as rocks. These usually last 2 – 3 days. My first bad experience at BBM.

Poor customer service. Was given 3 red velvet macarons when i asked for 2 and when i told the employee, she said she cant exchange it for another one (??)

Came here once on my lunch break while I was wandering around for a treat. Small stores, as most of them are. Just a counter with their goodies and one or two girls inside. Very friendly staff, and helpful when I ordered.
Love their chocolate fudge cupcakes (hope I’m calling it the right thing — but it’s chocolate on chocolate on chocolate!). Delicious, moist, fresh little bites of sweetness. You can easily pop them endlessly, but if you can handle portion control, you don’t feel so guilty having one of these little bites.

I found out about Baked by Melissa when I went to a friend’s gallery opening in Soho. Her cupcakes were given away as appetizers. I thought, «what a cute frickin idea! Bite-​sized cupcakes with all of the same bells and whistles as the larger ones. Yummy squared! I thought I had one of their flyers, but alas when I got home I couldn’t find it. I was heartbroken!
Fast forward a few weeks and I’m coming out of the train station at Columbus Circle only to see this
Location and recognize the name. (Of course I wouldn’t remember it when I was trying to find it online! Lol) I went in with my son and looked at the very clean, minimalist interior with the beautiful menus and amazing assortment of cupcakes. I planned to take two and ended up ordering 6. We ate them too fast to remember what they all were, but just think delicious in a small, calorie friendly package. All of the flavor with just an ounce of guilt. The attendants were also very pleasant and helpful. We were informed that some of the locations had gluten free options… definitely a plus. All around a great place to get a lil sugar fix can’t wait to go back.

I never heard of this place before until a friend of mine mentioned it. We went in today to buy some cupcakes. These cupcakes are small and delicious. The downside is that it’s a bit expensive for super small cupcakes (1 cupcake is $ 1). Other than that it’s not bad!

Ordering their flavor of the month (dulce de leche) caused mass confusion for their staffer — «peanut butter?» «cookie?» «just 1?»
Finally received what I think was actually what I ordered, which was moist to the point of being creepy-​wet, sticking to my hands.

Best cupcakes in America! If I could bath in these cupcakes I would. Ok I’m dramatic but i LOVE these cupcakes. I bought 75 one day. Def a place you need to go to in New York! They need one in LA

I got some Tie– Dyes as a peace offering; my 1^st taste ever and I’m reminded why I said I can pass on this place. I’m always last, if at all, to jump on trendy foods.
The cupcake was moist but the frosting was super sugary sweet — like Lil Debbie kinda sweet. Or maybe my palette too mature? Cupcakes that pricey ought to be sensational and memorable and not have me on a sugar guilt trip
I only ate one and gave the rest away.

Moist mini cupcakes!
I like the variety of flavors and the price, hahaha! They are much better than I expected them to be… small and tasty! The only flavor that tasted kinda off was the cotton candy… STAY AWAY from that one! LOL!
It is a fun idea to give someone as a gift. Oh, and they also give you a little fake tattoo of a colorful cupcake.

SOOOOOOO good my favs, so perfect and tiny and delish. love that change a new flavor of month each month but I just wish they had carrot cake on an everyday basis as it is a pretty basic flavor otherwise I love!

God bless Melissa, whoever she is!
DELICIOUS+ BEAUTIFUL.
I adore the tiny size and it is NOT expensive. If you pay a few dollars for a larger cupcake, the cost per amount of cake is equivalent. Plus thr more you order the more inexpensive they become. The best value is 25 cupcakes for a twenty dollar bill.
I enjoy the fact that every bite of cake is a different flavored cupcake! Much more fun than putting yourself in a sugar coma from overdoing it with a monster cupcake! And every bite has a little frosting.
If you want a lot more, order more, but this tiny size lets you personalize your portion size. You can freeze them and the ones enrobed in choc are especially fab that way.
I have shipped to others as birthday gifts and they never fail to delight, in their gorgeous, cheerful packaging!

I just moved to NYC from Chicago. I had seen that Baked by Melissa created some cupcake flavors for New York Fashion Week. They looked so delicious on TV, and the friend I was with at the time told me the cupcakes weren’t outrageously expensive, so I decided to take a little trip to the nearest shop and give them a try.
Upon entering, I was (happily) overwhelmed by the gorgeous selection of mini cupcakes in front of me. I purchased a box of 12 mini cupcakes: two Salted Caramel, two Doughnut, two Chocolate Pretzel, two Cookies and Cream, and two Chocolate Chip Pancake.
I couldn’t resist from trying one (or two… okay, I ate four) on the train ride home. I actually finished the rest of the box the next day. They are so, so good!
The only thing I wish was that the cupcakes were a little larger. There’s something magical in them, though! Especially that Chocolate Chip Pancake one – genius!
Definitely going to visit this place again.

Bite sized cup cakes, um genius! This little gem is a must for any cupcake lover! They make tiny cupcakes packed with flavor! My personal favorites are the cookie dough, a yellow cake with chocolate frosting and a little ball of cookie dough on top! The Oreo is a classic and honestly I haven’t tried a flavor here I didn’t enjoy, best part is if you don’t like it, it’s already gone! For $ 5 you can get 6 different types of poppable little cupcakes. Not a bad deal for all the flavor they have! They also give you a cute rainbow cupcake sticker and tattoo. It’s a fun place and if you’re walking around it’s a place worth stopping into. Best part is you can eat 6 and feel no guilt what so ever! They’re so tiny!

Really good, addicting tiny bites. However, they must be really popular at this location because everytime I pass by, it looks like they are nearly sold out. I purchased a 25 pack and added the gift box for an additional $ 5. The gift box is adorable and makes it a beautiful presentation. It sucks that these cupcakes are overpriced at $ 1 each. There has to be something else in these cupcakes because they are still just as moist two days later!

First time here while the cupcakes are delicious for a teeny tiny bite I really think $ 1 per «cupcake» is overpriced
You do get a discount for a larger quantity $ 5.50 for 6 and $ 10 for a dozen
The store was clean and staff pleasant
P B & J was my fave!

No one can deny the deliciousness of these cupcakes. I see a lot of people complaining about the pricing, but they forget how religiously they frequent Starbucks and spend over $ 5 for a great cup of coffee. Same thing here, you get what you pay for, and what you pay for is heaven in a bite.
Not to mention, those specific people tend to purchase Starbucks EVERY DAY. I doubt anybody eats cupcakes every day, so to complain about paying $ 1 a cupcake when it’s a luxury that most of us enjoy only time to time is absurd.
But back to Melissa, oh boy, what a genius. Not only are her signature mini cupcakes a great concept (high quality, lower calories) but she is always doing something unique which intrigues new customers and locks in the regular ones. To have your regular menu and to add «cupcakes of the month» (which are usually relevant to that specific month/​season) is brilliance. This has me coming at least once a month to sample the new stuff. And the real kick here is: It. Never. Fails.
Having a great idea is one thing, but to execute it flawlessly is a whole other ball game; and Melissa, darling, you’ve hit a home run!
Quickly, I want to mention how every single location I’ve been to, there have been the sweetest employees. Always smiling and very helpful, simply a delight.
Keep doing your thang, girl!

Wow. When I saw all these Baked by Melissa pop ups this year my mind was blown. Wasn’t just a tiny street cart in Soho the last few years? Anyway, all the little pop-​ups made it easy for us to pop in and get a small treat when it was convenient for us.
We purchased three mini cupcakes. Triple Chocolate Fudge, PB&J and Cookies and Cream.
Everyone was happy with the flavor they selected and the quarter size was the perfect small bite after a large lunch.

These are not cupcakes. They’re something less than a cake pop but more than an M&M. There is nothing less satisfying that paying $ 3 for three teeny cupcakes that are equivalent to taking one bite of a normal cupcake.
I gave 1 star for taste and flavor variety but this place loses 4 stars for a stupid idea. Unless you’re on a diet or have money to waste, I would not suggest going here.

Like Donna Summer would say, I love to love you baby.
I love to love Baked by Melissa. Quick, friendly service. Affordable and tasty… there is little risk eating here because, unlike Crumbs, everything is bite-​sized so if you get something you don’t like, you’re not stuck with a giant piece of cake you despise.
Plus, if I only get three of the little ones, I don’t feel like such a pig. Not that there’s anything wrong with pigs!

Don’t go here because you want amazing quality cupcakes, not to say the quality is awful — but sometimes they kind of all taste the same and are can be kind of dry, underwhelming and artificial-​ky, still decent — but not as satisfying to someone who enjoys a really good homemade cupcake.
Come here and and enjoy 1 or 2 tiny portioned ones — if you’re cool with overpaying that is since it’s like $ 1.50 for a cupcake that fits on a teaspoon — they so make a fun gift since they excel in having zany flavors (like french toast, pancakes, chocolate mint, cotton candy, vanilla rainbow, S’MORE!!! OMG, S’MORES!!!) and are super cute.
These would also be fantastic for children if they want something sweet but you don’t want to mess up their appetite or send them into a sugar rush, lol.
They’re definitely best when consumed fresh so definitely be sure to let the giftee (or yourself) know that. I do respect them for not being a huge corporate chain… and cute for what they are.
