I had ordered two dozen special decoration cupcakes for my daughters 14th birthday party. The morning of the party I went to the Ogden Avenue location for pick up, and it turned out that they had been delivered to the route 59 location by mistake. The staff was extremely gracious and offered to pick up the cupcakes from the wrong location and deliver them to my home just in time. They turned out absolutely beautiful and were so delicious!! Thank you again, to the Ogden Avenue staff that took care of me and my family that day!

Had the Cookie Dough and Cannoli cupcakes and had the peanut butter cheesecake. Everything was delicious and flavorful. The wide variety of cupcake varieties will have me come back. A great spot for a coffee and a sweet treat

Dietary restrictions: They have Gluten free options and Vegan options, however the vegan options are by order only

I am from out of town and called in to have two gender reveal cupcakes made for a friend for her to pick up. Unfortunately, they had two options and after I very clearly told them blue, the cupcakes somehow ended up pink and ruined the reveal. Very disappointed.

These guys are second to none in the Naperville area when it comes to your sweet treats. My wife and I recently use their expertise for our gender reveal – needless to say they knocked it out of the park. We would recommend these guys to anybody passing by or in the area!

Wow. On our way to get cheesecake for my birthday we decided to stop here instead. We bought several to try and it's absolutely some of the best cupcakes I have ever had. We live in Bartlett so not close but I can absolutely say we will be back and hopefully not just for birthdays.

I am so happy we used Area51 for our wedding cake and cupcakes. We really shopped around for the best bakery when making our selection, so we already knew our choice was a superior one, but they delivered even more than anticipated the day of. When we did our cutting my husband and I did not want to stop eating it!! They were easy to work with, extremely accommodating and reliable. I highly recommend using Area51 for any future wedding or event and will be giving them my business again as soon as I have the opportunity. Thank you!!

This bakery is truly wonderful! Although there was a small detail missed on our 5-year-old’s cake, the cake itself was so delicious and beautifully made that we couldn't resist ordering from them again for our 8-year-old’s birthday. Today, I picked up the cake for our celebration (it serves 20 people), and to my surprise, they gave it to us free of charge. It's heartwarming to know that such kind and generous people still exist. You’ve earned a very loyal customer who will sing your praises. Thank you!

We used Area 51 for our wedding cake and they didn’t disappoint! They have the best tasting cupcakes we’ve ever had. There was not one flavor we did not like! We set up a tasting with Jill and she was so helpful throughout the entire process. We ended up ordering a custom ~9” strawberry heart cake, super simple, but packed with flavor! We just looked through their amazing instagram profile and found cake designs that we liked and it worked out perfectly. We dressed it up with a basic Mr & Mrs cake topper and to add a little flare, had a mini replica of our one eyed Pitbull made so she could be a part of our big day too! We would recommend Area 51 to anyone (they also have great strawberry cheesecake🤤). Thank you Area 51 for making our wedding day so sweet!

Come for the cupcakes and stay for the cakes! Amazing quality and freshest cake in the area! My daughter wanted a 🦀 crab cake and they hit it out of the park! Beautiful work every single time and amazing communication!!

Area 51 Cupcake is a gem! The caramel Frappuccino was rich and delicious, The ambiance was such a fun touch—true to their name. The friendly staff topped it all off, making me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. Highly recommend for a delicious treat with a fun, extraterrestrial twist!

HONESTLY. THE MOST AMAZING CUPCAKES EVER. I ordered Molly’s for a special event and threw SO many away. I ordered Area 51 for the same sort of event and literally there was not ONE left. They were equally delicious and beautiful. At a MUCH better price than Molly’s.

This is our go to bakery in the area when we need a birthday cake. This particular cake was a Black Forest with whipped icing. My only complaint was that it didn’t have enough chocolate shavings. Other than that their cakes are always delicious, moist and priced right, including this one.

Discovered this place because a patient brought these to my place of work as a thank u gesture. And OMG how good these were! I introduced my family, my friends and my coworkers at my other job to these now. Brownie is my mom’s fav, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Boston Creme cupcake ( but tbh, all the cupcakes here r rlly good ).
This is easily one of my fav sweet treat places now ???♥️

First time visiting and using them for a custom cupcake order based on great reviews. Unfortunately not a good experience. Employee that took my order wasn't the most friendly and didn't ask for much detail for my custom request. Designs were very sloppy and obviously rushed; extremely heavy frosting and lack of detail. Concept was there and was cute in an amateur way, but not for the price paid. I feel I may have gotten better quality at a grocery store for a less expensive price. On a positive note, the cupcakes were super fresh and moist.
