Little Cupcake Bakeshop

Tried the vanilla bean cake and the dreaming princess cake. Both were generous size slices at $ 6.50 each. The dreaming princess cake was really nice with a vanilla buttercream and raspberry jam filling and then a vanilla meringue icing on an almond cake which were all excellent. The first time I tried the vanilla cake it’s seem to be much more flavorful then the second time. Still a very good bakery choice highly recommended
Update On my visit today I was very disappointed with the size of the cake slices that were given and the service overall They were not as generous size slices as on previous visits and the staff member piled them on top of each other in one small box. When I alerted the staff member that the portions seemed rather small they did nothing to correct the situation. Will definitely be hesitant to return.

I was super excited to try this place I’ve read all the reviews and saw countless photos from Mike Chau/​foodbabyny but unfortunately they just didn’t live up to the hype. I tried the red velvet cupcake and the black out cupcake. Both we’re just OK. I have to say I’ve def had better cupcakes. Prices were average $ 3.00 for cupcake. Slices are $ 6.50 which is outrageous Bc the slices aren’t that big and the taste not so good either. Such high hopes but left feeling disappointed. I can’t say that I’ll be back to give them another chance

This little quaint coffee & dessert spot is now my official «go to» refuge when the urge for mindless decadence hits me. The place isn’t large put there is seating inside and a few outside too. This was the second time my girlfriend and I patronized this Little Cupcake Bakeshop and boy was it worth it. We sat down and each had individual desserts with a latte to wash it down. She had they’re Luscious Lemon with meringue icing, which she enjoyed but felt the icing was very sweet. I had the cookies & cream cheesecake for the 2^nd time (I’m obsessed with cookies & cream). On the suggestion of a couple who happen to be regulars and who bragged about having everything in the place… we also bought a «to go» slice of the Brooklyn Blackout cake… OMG!!! If I didn’t already have a girlfriend, I would have attempted to have a relationship with that slice of cake. The only thing it was missing to be perfect was a scoop of cookies & cream ice cream. Do yourself a favor a drop by and check this place out. Btw, the staff there is also extremely welcoming and friendly which made our experience and our desire to return that much stronger.

Several of the pastries/​desserts we tried were all well done, but they are, I would say, about 15−20% overpriced. Still a good option if you’re in a dessert fit. I had better cheesecakes but they still rank decently.

It is true that we inhabit a post-​cupcake moment. But Little Cupcake Bakeshop will make you fall in love all over again, especially the yellow cake with the vanilla frosting which can best be described as tasting like childhood. Added to it a genuinely friendly staff and very reasonable prices and you can understand why there’s a steady stream of customers at this spot.

went in because of the rain.
had one of the best cupcakes ever.

The German Chocolate cake taste exactly like my grandmothers. Deliciousness from start to finsih.

If you see my other reviews, I am no stranger to a cupcake. Though I have been, lately, a stranger to a good one.
A friend of ours brought these to our apartment as dessert to the meal we were cooking. He was our favorite guest of the evening. Every flavor was delicious — I sampled a bite from a few — I know one was the Hummingbird cake, and that was probably the favorite overall. All of the cakes were soft and flavorful, with just the right amount of frosting.
This is basically the type of cupcake Magnolia dreams about at night, but hasn’t figured out how to actually make. No idea of the price or customer service as it was a gift, but it was beautifully packaged.

My daughter said I have to give this place 5 stars
Based on what we had, I agree
we had a walnut brownie, a black and white cupcake (with milk) and an ice coffee.
Everything was decadent and delicious
As my daughter said «we have to come back to try their other cupcakes!»

Brooklyn blackout was good, but not the best cake I’ve ever had. Apparently it is award winning and v hyped up.
While I was there, house/​EDM music was playing loudly — would prefer a more neutral playlist.
It’s also mom/​baby central if that’s your scene… I’ll be taking my cake to go next time.
p. s. wifi would be a nice touch :)

Yummy yummy yummy baked goodness in my tummy! I purchased the pecan caramel cheesecake, key lime square, and coffee and it was all amazing! I was craving something sweet on Sunday night and luckily the wonderful Little Cupcake Bakeshop was opened until 10:00 p.m., *insert praising hands here*! The cheesecake was filled with caramel and pecans, which was right up my alley and the key lime square was tarty goodness with a graham cracker crust!
There were a few small tables available for seating; however, I was getting my items to go so seating wasn’t a problem for me. The location is conveniently located near Prospect Park so after my run, I can stop over and stuff my face with cake! :-)
I would give Little Cupcake Bakeshop five stars if the customer service was a little better on the day I visited, i.e., my first visit to the bakery. I walked in and no one greeted me even after I said «hi», no one offered any assistance, and the guy at the counter spilled my coffee, which I cleaned up. :(Maybe they were tired because it was late/​40 minutes until closing. Luckily, I wasn’t going there to make a new friend or for the customer service, although it would have been nice. The baked goods were pretty awesome and I will likely return when I’m in the area.

I mean the pastries just keep getting worst and worst… It’s laughable.
I’ve been a customer since their first day and the quality (and size) of their products keep declining.
Just a few examples:
Brownie walnut — now only walnuts on top. No more inside ! But price is the same. Interesting.
Banana Nutella — slice is looking a little slim. no frosting on sides. Just on the top and half the amount at that. Since when do you frost half a cake. Oh but guess what? Price is the same too.
Chocolate chip and oatmeal Cookies– diameter has shrunk. And they are hard and stale.
I keep going back because they are the only bakery of its kind around. But I just don’t get how businesses continue to Charge more and give LESS to their customers. Sad.

The smores bar was creative take on an American classic. It was rich and delicious. I’d be eager to try one of these fresh out of the oven or one of their renowned slices of cake.
Their other pastries looked delicious as well. The staff was friendly and nice. The bake shop was pretty spacious with five or so tables. I like that you can sit down and have a coffee whereas many bake shops and bakeries are takeout only.

Little Cupcake has a few locations around the city. I’ve generally had good experiences with each of them individually but I do think that this is my favorite one, although, I couldn’t really say why. The selection is vast (and it’s all very good), and I really enjoyed the coffee. The last thing I remember having was the whoopee pie and some ice cream and it was phenomenal. When you’re in the neighborhood and you really have a sweet tooth, this is the spot. Nice siting area inside as well, right on the corner, perfect for people watching.

They have a s’mores bar that is fair. I thought the cashiers were nice and the vibes were pleasant just being inside.

Fantastic addition to Prospect Heights. Old fashioned American style bakery, similar to Magnolia, but the cake is more moist. Their banana pudding is just as good as Magnolia, and they make a great cinnamon roll and a pretty good almond croissant… fluffy and not overly sweet!

Just like their location in Manhattan, it was rather small, or skinny, with window showcases on your left and tables and chairs to your right. They have a bit of classic, antique look in the inside, from ceiling to the wall to the floor. I always thought they have a cute interior.
There are not many seating available, so it doesn’t take much before it gets pretty busy. You might not always find a seat in here immediately.
The cheese cake is always good, and most of any other sweets they have are nice too. The service, well, the only sweetness you get from this cute little place is the desserts. Out of all the times I visited Little Cupcake Bakeshop in Manhattan and here in Brooklyn, I can say that the desserts are good, but don’t expected any friendly smile, or warm service at either place.

Went here for the last time today.
Yesterday, though, I went for probably the 10^th time. And I bought a slice of Banana Nutella cake — the first slice in a new cake. Which is usually very good (cake is the only thing that I buy here, since their cupcakes are meh). I got home, ate dinner, whipped out the cake. .. and it was definitely, very undercooked. Inedibly undercooked. Salmonella-​potential undercooked.
So I called to let them know. The woman on the phone was great and said that she would check the rest of the cake, yada yada. She also told me that I could come back today with the bad cake and they would give me a new good slice or a refund.
Fastforward to this rainy shitbrick of a day. I walk 8 blocks out of my way to trade in this cake. Normally I wouldn’t have, but I really wanted cake. I love cake. I was in the mood for cake, goddamnit. Clearly nobody had told the lady working today. And her default mode is apparently «unconcerned asshole who gives terrible service.» So she gave terrible service. Acted like she was deeply inconvenienced, when I had walked a mile in the rain to get a single slice of cake. Refused to believe that the cake sucked. And was overall a person who should not have a job.
And then she tried to serve me a slice from the same undercooked cake from yesterday. For fucks’ sake. Never again.

Soooo, yeah this place is a trap. I usually have a buffer that includes crossing a bridge for a good slice of German chocolate cake, which means I do not get to to have it often. But then here comes the Little Cupcake Bakeshop with the $ 6 slices and they have German chocolate cake. Who told them to bring that so close to me? Why would you test my willpower? The cake may not be made by my nana, but it’s sooo good.
So needless to say I frequent this place way to often (hence my new gym regimen or not eating anything else for the day). I have no idea what everything else taste like, but I’m thinking their other stuff is just as good.
Try it… and you may see me there one day… LOL!

Stepped in here on Valentines day because my friend was having an impulsive sugar craving and need for some LOVE. It was probably also one of my last hurrahs before I gave up all of this deliciousness for lent. Looking at the past photos of cupcakes, cookies, and cake is already making me salivate. But really cute shop on Vanderbilt huddled conveniently amongst a large amount of bars. Not being in the mood for a regular olé cupcake and seeing that they were starting to run low since they seem to be doing good business, I went with a chocolate chip cookie. This thing was huge and took two sittings to finally finish. But flavor wise — delicious as hell, moist, soft and chewy, perfect chocolate ratio and they use the big chunks. Also fairly affordable if memory recalls I don’t remember it breaking the budget or being over $ 3.
Though, the cupcakes were still insanely tempting and the lady behind the counter went on to describe to me what exactly blue velvet entails and its exactly as what you would think with delicious cream cheese buttercream frosting piled on top delicately. Other flavors that sounded interesting: Hummingbird, Brooklyn Blackout, Dreaming Princess, and Peanut Butter and Jelly. Note, they also have some gluten-​free and vegan options available. But then there’s also CHEESECAKE, and PIE, and ICE CREAM. RED VELVET ICE CREAM?! My friend after much indecisiveness went with a huge slab of their Black and White Cake. I tasted a bite and it was really moist and sinfully delicious. There are a few quaint tiny tables and seating near the window for people viewing while you torture them with your baked goods.
