I enjoyed a tasty vanilla cupcake with a slight orange flavor. Frankly, I was a little nervous about the orange flavor but it was not overpowering. This place is a delightful little boutique cupcakery that operates on the honor system. Consider, giving this place a try.

Absolutely THE best cupcakes I’ve ever had! I’m HOOKED!! My favorite is the Black Velvet. It’s absolutely delicious and they’re so beautifully made!! I can’t wait to go back!!!

Horrible experience. My cupcake had mold. And of course cant speak to anyone. Advertisement is a lie if you stock daily why would it have mold Gross nasty. Someone can seriously get sick.

Charged me for three cupcakes, no cupcakes, came out. There was no help number, the one listed was anll 0’s which is upsetting and even when I called the other store, there was no one I could get through to. I will have to dispute this with the credit card company.

Well we use TripAdvisor wherever we go to find new culinary adventures and heading to Wilmington we did just that and found peppered cupcakes ranked number 1 so we stopped. Tried a simple vanilla chocolate cupcake and that’s what it was simple. No wow factor just as basic as you can be, such a disappointment but maybe we picked the wrong cake. Few miles down the road in Morehead City is Happycakes now this place brings the WOW factor and then some. Next time in Wilmington we will be looking elsewhere for a good dessert.

Great cupcakes! We used their vending machine which is a super cool idea!

We walked to the store front because online said they have vegan cupcake options. When we got there, it was a vending machine with cupcake and no vegan options. The idea is cute. Maybe just update the offerings.

This is a different experience from other bakeries. It's a vending machine that has the answers to all the questions about the cup cakes. Nice and easy to get a cupcake.

These are cupcakes like NO others! There are standard flavors that are available every day, and specialities of the day. I wanted to visit on a Friday, because that is Chocolate Turtle with Nuts day! Just cashed in my birthday free cupcake coupon; only good at Racine walk-in location. Downtown is a vending machine.

A great idea, fresh baked gourmet cupcakes available through a vending machine. Many varieties with butter crème icings. This frosting is found through the middle of the cupcake. I chose Chocolate Revelation and is was just the right amount of chocolate. My husband decided on Tuxedo which was chocolate with vanilla icing. There in a microwave to warm the cupcake up if desired. Can’t wait to take the grandchildren here!
I was super excited to try the pepper cupcake, but was a little disappointing when I noticed that this wasn't a location with actual employees that bake the cupcakes. This location has vending machines. Wow I do agree it is pretty brilliant I think it's quite the experience that I thought I was going to have and I don't like refrigerated baked goods. Overall, I get the cupcakes a five out of 10 if ever in the area again I'll try the other location.

Love the cupcakes here a staple place for deserts. Downtown location has the cool cupcake vending machine. Creative cupcakes I personally love the cream brûlée one. If you get a chance to try the chai cupcake it is sooooo good.

I had the absolute best first experience at The Peppered Cupcake! We walked into the storefront and there was a cute cupcake vending machine for us to use to buy and get our cupcakes. I thought the machine was extremely user friendly and my 60 year mother (who sometimes struggles with technology) thought it was so fun and had no issues! The cupcakes were fresh and so freaking good! We got five of the available flavors and they were all delicious! I will definitely be returning the next time I’m in town!

Oh my goodness!!! These are hands down the BEST cupcakes I've ever had!!! The cookie butter flavor is my favorite by far, but they're all so good! And I got to meet the owner!! She is so sweet!!!The vending machine option is so cool too, my toddler LOVED selecting our cupcakes!!! Next time we're down we'll make it over the store front!! I can't wait!

Every one of their cupcakes is delicious. The vending machine is super fun, easy to use, and a great way for the owner to keep the business going during staffing shortages. I find it super easy to use, and very convenient. I recommend grabbing a cupcake and watching the sunset on the river walk a block away. 10/10 must have if you’re in downtown Wilmington.
