I am always on the hunt for the best Nanaimo bar when I'm in Nanaimo, BC. Found this spot as recommended by a Nanaimo travel guide. Ordered a cupcake, a cookie, Nanaimo bar and a muffin. All were delectable. I wouldn't say this is the best Nanaimo Bar in Nanaimo but its a worthy addition to the Nanaimo bar tour of Nanaimo. As the namesake, the cupcake was definitely the star, it was moist and rich and flavourful. The cookie was ok, the muffin also ok. Overall, a noteworthy stop in your search of Nanaimo's pride!

Had a great experience, ordering 15 cupcakes of various flavours. All of them turned out so great and kept well!

Got 6 cupcakes of all different flavours to go and they were delicious. My friend had the gluten free and said they tasted amazing, couldn't even tell the difference!

Lovely owner and the best cupcakes you'll ever have. (I don't usually enjoy cake or desserts, but I adore her cupcakes!) Hope she'll print a recipe book one day.

This is long overdue! Last October I phoned several places searching for a special birthday dessert that was gluten-free and lactose-free. I was about to give up then thankfully, I called Medina at Wee Cupcakery. She not only guaranteed that her cupcakes would be gluten-free and lactose-free, but that they would be ready for the party the next day. The cupcakes were incredible! They were super moist and covered with a thick layer of dark chocolate icing, and an absolute hit at the party! I live north of Nanaimo, but whenever I can I treat myself to one of Medina's delicious cupcakes. I highly recommend that others do the same.

I came in to get cupcakes for Valentine’s Day, after trying 2 other places with no luck. I usually don’t like macaroons, but they were delicious and bursting with flavour. The cupcakes were the best I’ve ever had and my boyfriend loved them, too. The icing on the cupcakes is divine, and definitely doesn’t taste like your regular icing. The icing on the Raspberry Beret cupcake actually tasted like fresh raspberries, which is a very hard flavour to get to come through in something. I was very impressed with the quality and service. 10/10 would recommend. Totally worth the price.

Adorable local business with the best cupcakes on Vancouver Island. The Whipped Chocolate Ganache, Ebony & Ivory as well as both coconut cupcakes are my favourite, but have never had one that I didn’t like. Wonderful and kind owner who is incredibly thoughtful to customers, and takes great care in her work. Can’t recommend enough!
Amazing Nanaimo bars and cupcakes. Mostly takeout.

The cupcakes make me life my mood. No words would do justice to the cupcakes they serve. Must try Red velvet if you like less sweet flavor. My friends like coconut coffee cupcake. But all the cupcakes are fantastic and fresh. The owner is also kind and honest with her work. Must try!

Fantastic spot!! Both the cupcakes and the variety are amazing, so many fun flavours along with the classics. The gluten free and gluten free/vegan ones are just as amazing as the regular ones, and so nice to have the option so that everyone in my family can have a treat. The owner is so lovely to chat with!
Dietary restrictions: Great gluten free options, and gluten free/vegan options. Delicious cupcakes!
Kid-friendliness: Lots of fun flavours to appeal to kids and grownups alike!
