SuperbJuly 17, 2012
What a cute little shop! Their cheesecakes and their cupcakes are amazing. Stop by if you're in the UES, but watch out for long lines during the busier hours.

They do run out of their cupcakes towards the end of the day. We resorted to their pecan pie - drove us nuts in a good way!

The cupcakes here are fantastic. The Brooklyn Blackout are a personal favorite. Three different types of chocolate goodness, all in one convenient package.
Elizabeth BursteinDecember 18, 2018
Brooklyn blackout is the best! Marble is good but prefer the bb. Coconut not so good

Hands down the best bakery in Manhattan. The cupcakes are awesome, as are the beautifully (and elaborately) decorated cakes.

cupcakes are better than the cakes... chocolate lovers, get the pudding-filled cupcake
Keri ThompsonAugust 22, 2015
Everything here is made with love and delivered with a smile. Carrot or Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Icing are both amazeballs!

Really moist and creamy and sweetness is perfect! Wide range of flavours to choose from, surely there's always something to suffice your taste buds :)

The key lime is to die for! Do yourself a favor and just get the big cupcake bc you're def going to want more than the mini!
K. M.May 28, 2015
Huge cupcakes (but they also have smaller versions). The peanut butter one is heavy, greasy — and yet delicious.
IreneAugust 16, 2015
Their Brooklyn Blackout cupcakes are super filling and delicious. Probably one of the softest cupcakes I've ever had.

The cheesecake here is our favorite in New York, perfect in both aesthetics and taste.

My favorite bakery in the entire city. You don't know what your missing if you have not been here. A million times better than magnolia!!!

I trek from Bushwick to get cakes and confections from this place. Brooklyn Blackout may be their signature cake, but I adore the red velvet!

Best place to go to when you want that old grandma's kitchen smell plus its kinda that secret place thats not overcrowded so its cozy.
Elizabeth BursteinJanuary 6, 2018
Loved the key lime and pecan pies. Snickerdoodle cookie was meh. Want to try the raspberry cake
Michelle ChenOctober 29, 2016
Great red velvet cupcakes (love the cream cheese frosting), also had the pumpkin harvest which was good!

NYC [Eat] The banana cupcakes with cream cheese are the best of their kind. Moist and flavorful with just the right amount of decadence. Grab one or two.

The best red velvet cake in all the land.. Two Little Red Hens sets the bar extremely high! Hands down best bakery in the UES..
Leszek DowgierAugust 22, 2018
One of my favorite places to get something sweet and a coffee on the Upper East. And I am picky about my coffee!
Brittany GoodwynJuly 29, 2015
Very cute little bakery. The cupcakes are a good size, but unfortunately the key lime cupcake wasn't that great. It didn't have enough flavor for my extreme love of key lime.
Caleb LubarskyNovember 6, 2010
The best bakery in Manhattan, hands down. Everything I've ever had was delicious...cupcakes, scones, cakes. Best of all? Their sticky buns...on my top 10 list of "best thing I ever ate!"
Kimmie OhhSeptember 29, 2019
You must definitely order the New York cheesecake, Brooklyn blackout & red velvet!

You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu here. Try the yellow cake with fudge frosting!
Angela ZhangAugust 27, 2014
The Brooklyn Blackout cupcake tastes like boxed devil's cake + average chocolate pudding + grocery store fudge icing. All that just for the hefty price of $4!
NeetOctober 23, 2012
This is the best in the city!! Magnolia is over rated and doesn't taste half as delicious as these amazing cupcakes! Yum!!!!!
Rafi RomeroSeptember 20, 2015
the yellow cupcake with chocolate fudge is probably my favorite. the marble one is also really good
Mirjana V.March 30, 2014
Well worth the trip uptown. Amazing (and affordable) decorated cakes, and the best cupcakes around.
Harumi UAugust 15, 2014
Cream cheese frosting on red velvet cupcake is unexpected and cheesecake is really fluffy and delicious.

Ridiculously good cheesecake and the peanut butter and chocolate cupcake is incredible

I'd love this place more if snobby white people wouldn't ask so many ridiculous questions that can easily be answered if they read what's in front of them. Get a coffee, a brownie, a gal, and shut up!

The mini cupcakes, especially the key lime cupcake.
Cindy OlJuly 28, 2019
Fantastic place - try the carrot cake! Hard to pick a favorite cake.
Stella KimDecember 16, 2010
The Brooklyn blackout is Absolutely Perfect! Everyone should eat this. Other than that, you really can't go wrong! I just had a Ginger cupcake and even that was delicious.
Sheila HsuDecember 8, 2011
Their sweets are perfect with cup of coffee. The red velvet and brooklyn blackout cupcake are divine. Moist and the right amount of sweetness.
Sofia MartinezAugust 17, 2018
The Brooklyn Blackout Cupcake and the Cheesecake taste really good!
VeraSeptember 10, 2018
The cheesecake is to die for: very smooth, soft, creamy, rich in flavor
Phil KatzMay 1, 2016
Hands down the best cheesecake and cupcakes in the city. Well worth the trek uptown.

Best cupcakes on the UES, better than Sprinkles or Crumbs, and nice but expensive pies for special occasions.
Ma Lo CAugust 18, 2015
The chocolate cupcake is my favorite!! And try the chocolate chips banana muffin OMG
Serious EatsAugust 10, 2013
Excellent American-style bakery for pie, birthday cake, and moist, flavorful cupcakes.

A variety of the mini cupcakes is great to share with friends. Good frosting ratio

Try the Brooklyn Blackout Cupcake - Mini size. Incredible. And this tiny cupcake is somehow filled with more gooey chocolate.
