A random find of the day and they did not disappoint soon the writing of this review I have tried the carrrit cake and it was very light and moist. The icing was creamy and not sweet, a very good cupcake.
Once youâve had them fresh it makes ya wonder how good the day olds are lol. Significantly cheaper and something that moist canât truly go bad overnight if stored correctly ryte?
Anywhoo, just some thoughts. I purchased a half dozen and canât wait to try the rest

I was tasked with buying a cupcake for a couple to privately share their babyâs gender. Nothing fancy, just a cute blue cupcake with a little topper. I ordered online from James & the Giant Cupcake and threw in a little âtipâ for the restaurant to make the cupcake special.
When I picked it up a couple days later, it was ⊠definitely a blue cupcake⊠Nothing more, nothing less. I asked about the topper or glitter or something and they told me that was only for large orders. They donât decorate solo cupcakes.
Okay. Cool, I guess. They did give me what I ordered, though I donât know why I had to wait two days to pick up the same plain cupcake they had in the case? Oh well. Shoutout to all the restaurants doing the bare minimum!

Been coming for years. Customer service has gotten so bad hardly come. The quality of the cupcakes are subpar. Definitely not worth the price. Finally made my last stop 5/22/24 the customer service from the woman with slick ponytail. She was rude and unfriendly. Just because you have old cupcakes keep in mind the customer donât wonât them especially if they cost $5. Once these start raises prices they lose value in all areas typically.

Support this (kinda hidden) local business! Very tasty cupcakes! Itâs hard to find a good gluten free cupcake and their tiny chocolate cupcakes did not disappoint! The cheesecake frosting I stole from my bfâs regular cupcake was also very good. The cupcakes are kinda pricey, not something Iâd buy all the time, but until my next visit: Iâm going to be craving them for sure! Park around the corner by the school, San Pablo St doesnât have much available.
Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free and vegan options.

What an experience. I'm standing in line and all of a sudden, the host of the morning radio talk show I listen to gets in line behind me. Him and his kids. OMG
Nothing special and frosting is waaaay too sweeter
Cute store. 8 / 10 on cupcakes.
Favorite spot for great cupcakes
Honestly one of the best cupcakes we have had. Friendly service also.
