Meghan KathleenApril 10, 2011Try the ginger cookie, the brownies, or the red velvet cookie. You won't be disappointed with those choices.
Kimmie OhhSeptember 29, 2019They have a lot of chicken decorations inside. There’s limited seating inside too.
Aileen O'BrienJune 1, 2012Scone with double ginger and mango! Yum! Great coffee too and staff are sweet
Try the Marble Cupcake - With a swirl of chocolate fudge and Swiss vanilla buttercream
Don't tell your friends about this place. Let them go to Crumbs and Magnolia ... while we enjoy the best cupcakes in Manhattan !
Try the Cherry Almond Scone - Still my fave spot for a baked treat.
- Try the Yellow Cupcake With Classic American Vanilla Buttercream
The frosting on their cakes are unique and really delicious.
Brooklyn blackout is 'the ultimate treat' and Two Little Red Hens is 'the place'. All your other Brooklyn what-if's don't stand a chance.
- Try the Brooklyn Blackout Cupcake - One of the best cupcakes ever baked.
Order your Thanksgiving pies early. They have the best pumpkin pie I've ever had.
Reagan BarbosaDecember 11, 2016People will hate me for saying this: but Amy's Bread has a Devil's Food Chocolate Cake/cupcake that is better than the Brooklyn blackout. And the peanut butter cupcake from DC cupcakes is better too.
- Try the Red Velvet Cupcake - Best red velvet cupcake in the city, hands down
Everything, but in particular their Brooklyn Black-Out Cake.
Order the Triple Ginger Mango Scone! You won't regret it!
Rachel S.April 17, 2011Best cupcakes in Manhattan by far. Brooklyn Blackout and Banana are both excellent choices.
Stephanie SharplessJanuary 30, 2018Got a half dozen of cupcakes because everyone raved about this, not particularly impressed. High expectations for the Brooklyn blackout but it was okay.
Chunky apple muffin with caramelized pecans and Peanut Butter Chocolate mini cupcakes are to-die-for!
The Red Velvet cupcake may be famous, but my favorite is the Brooklyn Blackout.
The Brooklyn Blackout cupcake is amazing, and the strawberry rhubarb pie - in season only - is the best I've ever had.
Firyal AlthobaitiDecember 19, 2019Sooo good😍😍best place, i was taking a stroll and the smell caught me
Marni GoltsmanJune 16, 2012Agree about amazing blackout cake--but beware they won't hold one for you even if they have one in the store and you'll pre-pay with a credit card. What ever happened to customer service?
Elizabeth FigueroaJanuary 14, 2012By far one of the Best !!!!!!!!! Cupcakes, Cakes all number 1 Perfect
- Caroline DruckerMay 22, 2011Best red velvet cupcake in the city. And don't leave without the Brooklyn blackout either!

"I am always thankful when my burger-eating companions suggest Shake Shack. The veggie burger is unreal -- think juicy, perfectly crisped portabello shroom hugged with melty, tangy cheese."
