Brooklyn blackout if you like chocolate cake filled with chocolate pudding..amazing- Two Little Red HensDecember 9, 2013It's beginning to look a lot like... Our Christmas & New Year's Menu is now available so visit our store or website. The last day to place orders for Dec 19-Jan 5 is Sunday, December 15th.
Best cupcakes on the UES, better than Sprinkles or Crumbs, and nice but expensive pies for special occasions.
Truly my favorite cupcakes in New York, especially the carrot cake cupcakes, pumpkin cupcakes, chocolate crinkle cookies...
Try the Brooklyn Blackout Cupcake - Mini size. Incredible. And this tiny cupcake is somehow filled with more gooey chocolate.
Sheila HsuDecember 8, 2011Their sweets are perfect with cup of coffee. The red velvet and brooklyn blackout cupcake are divine. Moist and the right amount of sweetness.
Caleb LubarskyNovember 6, 2010The 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!"
Harumi UAugust 15, 2014Cream cheese frosting on red velvet cupcake is unexpected and cheesecake is really fluffy and delicious.
LittleLs Dog TreatsJanuary 2, 2016Peanut butter cupcakes are the best!!! Go for cappuccino if you want some coffee.
Marcia LeeApril 21, 2017I trek uptown to make peoples' birthdays getting these cupcakes. Two words: Brooklyn blackout.
AMAZING banana cupcakes... I dream about them :) They are that good!
Amanda WilliamsMarch 28, 2015Amazing cupcakes - I like the banana, red velvet and chocolate ones best
Been coming here since the beginning. Great bakery - UES gem. 😋
Chrissy KFebruary 4, 2016A variety of the mini cupcakes is great to share with friends. Good frosting ratio
Ma Lo CAugust 18, 2015The chocolate cupcake is my favorite!! And try the chocolate chips banana muffin OMG
William ImperialeFebruary 2, 2018I had a chocolate cupcake with pudding inside. Yes you read that right. Highly recommended!
Natasha ZuluagaJune 21, 2015Adorable little shop for a quick stop cupcake! Chocolate peanut butter for the win!
Serious EatsApril 22, 2013The cupcakes are consistent, generously sized and have a perfect cake to frosting ratio.
- The peanut butter fudge swirl cupcake is the best peanut butter cupcake I've ever had
Don't tell your friends about this place. Let them go to Crumbs and Magnolia ... while we enjoy the best cupcakes in Manhattan !
Chocolate cupcakes are great, but the cheese cakes are the best!
Get ready to eat a slice of Heaven. Can't decide? Get the Blueberry Oatmeal Scone, awesome!
- Thomas MoAugust 13, 2014The New York Cheesecake here was ranked my SeriousEats to be the best in the city.
Kimmie OhhSeptember 29, 2019They have a lot of chicken decorations inside. There’s limited seating inside too.
Order your Thanksgiving pies early. They have the best pumpkin pie I've ever had.
Their classic American cupcake put Magnolia Bakery's signature cupcake to shame. Bigger, better, and without the inflated tourist-fleecing price.
AnnieFebruary 26, 2019Key lime cupcake is delightful. Light and a little sweet. Nothing heavy handed here
- Try the Marble Cupcake - With a swirl of chocolate fudge and Swiss vanilla buttercream
Erica GlynnFebruary 19, 2015That Crimson pie will knock your socks off! Don't forget to grab a slice.
Daisy GongDecember 29, 2013Great red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. Also available in cakes.
