Cake Tin

The people here are super sweet. If Kim makes your coffee, she’ll make sure it’s what you want. Refreshing to find a cute, warm place like this at an airport. Ps. Dad says coconut cupcake is yum!

False advertising. The plethora of baked goods in their display case are just that. For display only. I waited an inordinate time in line just to be told that they were sold out for the day. Not the news you want to get after a 6 hour flight delay and 6 hour flight. Prepare to be disappointed.

Really wanted to like this spot at first glance – and by all rights, it has the necessary features to be a good coffee/​sweet shop in a hopping terminal. BUT, through poor managerial decision or worker unreliability, the wait to be served was nearly unbearably long. It got worse as we waited and turned people away. The girl behind the counter was doing her best, but she was overwhelmed.
To make the experience more of a disappointment, the plethora of baked goodies were from the previous day or two. The cinnamon frosted pastry I tried was dry and inedible on the edges. Cupcakes appeared the same.
Finally, and granted I’m picky, but it was apparent the clerks espresso training was nil. She doused my cappuccino with milk and swirled it around after pouring, mixing the milk, foam and espresso, meaning she eliminated a key element of any milk+espresso drink, let alone a drier cappuccino. Like I said, I’m picky, but you get my point.
Wanted to like this place, but management has gotta get on their game.

Well what can you ask inside an airport terminal for cupcakes? I think cake tin already had everything that I could think of — cute decoration (with adorable plates hanging on the wall), lovely cupcakes (though I haven’t got the chance to try them out) coming in all sizes, warm service from the cashier (she picked the best apple for me!). I almost threw it a five star before I realized that I should leave some room before I am trying out the cupcakes haha.
Got the Americano as usual, loved it! The best coffee/​dessert shop in an airport.

Best «store» cupcakes I’ve had in a while. The cakes we had were moist and the flavors were decent. Some of the frostings left a lot to be desired but you can’t win them all. The décor is cute and simple. For an airport shop, the prices were reasonable.

Rip off. $ 1 for a cupcake you can swallow whole like if you were an anaconda. It didn’t even taste that good. A complete joke. But I’m the type of person that will spend money to try something so it is what it is, but this place will never see my money again for two reasons. 1) not worth it and 2) because I don’t know when I’m coming back to this airport terminal.

Fancy decorations and the multitude of beautifully decorated cupcakes lure you into this little store but nothing to rave about. The overpriced cupcakes taste ok but go for the out of the ordinary ones to get the full enjoyment of this place. They do have a decent cup of coffee and the service is good as long as there’s more than one employee.

Worst customer service ever. Refused to give me a larger box to carry on the plane… Resulted in me buying nothing.

I ordered the funfetti cupcake and was very disappointed with the lack luster ‘buttercream’ frosting, which actually tasted more like mock cream and did nothing to satisfy my cupcake craving. The place is set out nicely but I honestly wouldn’t waste my time here again. So disappointing :(

Terrible customer service, cashier gave me the wrong cupcake because she heard me wrong and she put the blame on the Customer. Extremely disappointed, not sure how she got this job

I resisted the urge to indulge and went for a coffee and water instead but just had to check out this place. Super cute! Gummy candy, pastries, cupcakes (mini and regular size). A cute little shop in an otherwise very utilitarian place (airport)…

Nice décor, a wide variety of pastries, and a straightforward coffee/​tea menu. I had a cinnamon roll which was very good, and an Earl Grey tea. The cinnamon roll was small, though, for the $ 3.89 price tag.
The place is tiny and the line got a little impatient with the two employees, but I received excellent customer service.

If I could give a zero, I would. Terrible customer service. The salesperson ignored my family, chatted with other airport personnel while we waited, including being inappropriate. Never got to order the cupcakes.

I wasn’t really a fan of the cupcakes. I’ve had better cupcakes at other bakeries in NYC. These taste a little «store bought»; if that makes sense. The cupcakes were not very moist but they were not dry… if your in the airport and want something sweet and quick, I’d stop into Cake Tin. Just don’t expect the same quality as Crumbs, Magnolias etc

Meh cupcakes. Good service.
I’m a cupcake junkie and love a good buttercream. I had the funfetti cupcake with vanilla buttercream and buttercup cupcake with either caramel or brown sugar buttercream. The bread of the cake was slightly dry to the touch, but decently moist when I tasted it. My issue was with the buttercreams. They weren’t the hearty, slightly thick buttercream I prefer. They tasted almost like whipped cream, which I’m not a fan of. I was craving a sugar fix and this did it, but be forewarned that this isn’t the rich buttercream some may prefer.
Service was quick and professional.

Walked off my LAX –JFK red-​eye to the gorgeous view of this cupcake shop. Kimberly and Nafeeza were charming and engaged, and the cupcakes were fantastic! So was the latte!

Went here looking for something sweet for desert, left wishing I had never walked in. It looks beautiful from the outside, but the dessert I had was terrible.
The staff is incredible rude and short tempered. They could care less about the customer, and personally If I was the owner I’d fire the cashiers and have them replaced immediately. They seemed so bothered that I wanted to order 3 macaroons, even though there were only 2 people in the whole place.
I got macaroons. Coffee, chocolate, and raspberry. They all sucked. Beyond stale, lacking flavors, and an overall disappointment. I’m not even being critical. They were so stale that they crumbled everywhere and I had to buy a bottle of water just to wash them down.
If you are looking for some sweets, grab a milkshake from Shake Shack or just go pick up some standard candy from any of the Hudson Stands or the candy store in Terminal 4. $ 6 wasted on three dry stale macaroons.

A delightful looking shop on the outside, bitter on the inside as far as customer service. The women that worked there were beyond rude. They almost seemed hostile.
When I asked what tea they served, the girl said «on the wall» without even looking at me and pointed to the tea menu. I stepped slightly to the left and before I could finish my order with her she says «Can I help you?» Talking to the people behind me.
So I stood where I was, not to intrude on the couple who just walked up and had no idea I was in the middle of ordering. I pulled out the cash to pay and the other girl getting the tea yells at me, «You gotta pay over there». Pointing to the cash register I had just been standing at. So I stepped over to get back in line.
But honestly, the chaos of the line, wasn’t that big of a deal to me. It was how shitty they were during the entire process.
After I got my tea, I met my husband to sit down. I asked if he noticed what had happened. He said they were rude, not helpful and I shouldn’t have ordered anything from them. Which is funny because I almost did just walk away and leave the tea.
Then as we are sitting there some girl walks in. They all start joking around with each other real friendly. As the girl goes to leave she starts randomly yelling «Who left this here!», in a demanding tone. I ignored the first several times but then the 3^rd time looked over to see what she was talking about.
A customer had left behind a tea cup and a couple napkins. The girl starts yelling, «Customer’s need to clean up their own shit, these aren’t your maids.» (or something to that effect). At that point we decided to leave since we did not feel welcome.
The whole thing was just a icky experience. Really sad because it seems like it could be a fun place.

Decent bake shop in the airport. It’s a small little shop near gate 35 in terminal 4 — Delta. I find it to be reasonably priced for airport dessert fare. $ 4 for a very large cupcake or for the muffins.
I got a blueberry muffin and it was soft and not super sweet. They have coffee, waters, teas, and other drinks. Their display is definitely enticing!
Nice sweet and light snack to grab and take on the plane. I really enjoyed it on my evening flight back home with that watered down cup of coffee they offered on the plane.

Ah… duped again: cupcakes that are all pomp and circumstance, but no substance. Despite all the effort and love that went into getting them across the coast…
Methinks not, the rip off of $ 5, despite all the pretty pretty box, bag, piping, etc
Quality of the cupcake batter is very pedestrian. As someone else pointed out, no flavor to the frostings either. i actually took a fork and scraped over 80% of it off… not a good overall texture or flavor. On the tongue, was even a bit gummy!
Who likes that?!
Cake batter: not moist enough, and def not big enough for the price tag. RV was an off putting «non fresh» dyed color.
No thank you. This 8 month old cupcake spot at the JFK just doesn’t have the wow factor for me.
