Molly's Cupcakes

I've had four of Molly's cupcakes and found only one worthy of writing home about, but I won't praise a business that has terrible customer service. A friend introduced me to Molly's on Wednesday, April 24, 2013. I thought the person waiting on us might have had a bad day so I dismissed the attitude; however I returned on Friday, April 26 and was given worse service. After making my selection and paying for it, the worker packaged my items and put them on a table behind the counter. Another worker asked if she could help me and I said another individual was bagging my purchase. I told her what I'd bought and one other worker found it on the table. The individual working on my order had left my bag on the table to take a phone call. Since she didn't go running out of the bakery, I determined the call wasn't an emergency. My tip for Molly's, Good cupcakes don't make up for bad customer service. On neither visit was there an exchange of harsh words so there was no need for this kind of service. I will not be returning. Thank you for the calories saved. more

I've been going to Molly's since it opened, and it has remained a staple dessert in our house every since the first day we tried a cupcake there. The cupcakes are really phenomenal - perfect frosting (the cream cheese on the red velvet is TO DIE FOR) and perfect cake texture. Sometimes the fillings are a little bit too much, but really, can you ever have too much cupcake? The hidden gems here though are the smaller items that aren't right at eye level in the glass cases. These items are cheaper, and really make it a tough decision between cupcakes which are more expensive. Their rice krispie treats are absolutely PERFECT. Chocolate covered strawberries have the right consistency and quantity of chocolate - at half the price of high end places. And their cookies are totally divine. Bottom line is there is something for everyone here. You will not be disappointed! Pros: Perfect Cupcakes, good atmosphere, nice staff Cons: Expensive, too tempting more

Molly's Cupcakes tastes like heaven. Well baked, tasty cakes in just few dollars. Whenever I visit that street, I never leave it without buying one. It makes me crazy. Staff is also polite and friendly. more

We came from France to check out real US cupcakes. After having tried several well renowned bakeries in London, UK, we hit Chicago. Walking into Molly's is like going back to school - with all those good memories. The small tables and chairs, the games and the counter with swings ! Then when we get to the counter it's heaven. You can make your own cupcake. You choose the base, the frosting and the toppings. Then it is decorated in front of you ! Or if you are feeling really adventurous you can try the many specialised cupcakes. Be careful, these are serious cupcakes soft and fluffy, excellent filling and not sickly at all !! Much to our (pleasant) surprise expecting US cupcakes to be sweeter than those in the UK. So Molly's is bakery number 6 on the cupcake list and went straight to the top and is still there (after trying 3 bakeries in Madison WI too). To tell you how good it was, we were due to drive back from Milwaukee on the following Sunday directly to O'Hare to fly home, we changed our plans to spend the Saturday night in Chicago so we could go back to Molly's !!!! This is THE address to know, to go to and to share with everyone ! Pros: Friendly, confortable, delicious Cons: temptation more

The cupcake I had was a bit dry for my taste and it was nearly $4.00. Being a fan of the Ron and Fez show on XM radio, it was worth a visit. Pros: Fun for kids Cons: Too expensive more

I'm a huge peanut butter and choclate fan and this cupcake made my life complete! I believe I can die now, LOL. The Ron Bennington is worth the drive. Pros: Best Cupcake Known to man. The Ron Bennington! Cons: Only The traffic to get there from N.W. Indiana more

My friend makes the cupcakes there and she is a terrific baker:) more

The cupcakes are very delicious, there moisty which i love, pillsbury dough boy got nothing on that, plus the workers there are super nice. Its worth the trip and its really worth the view. : p Pros: taste good very moist more

makes u feel like a kid again, staff is always friendly and cupcakes are flawless. more

I came from Ft. McMurray Alberta Canada for a Ron Bennington and was not disappointed. Highly recommended to all. more

I live in Cleveland, OH. My father went to Chicago on business and I made him bring me back some cupcakes. They were the best cupcakes I've ever had, especially the Ron Bennington. I am hoping to get back to Chicago soon to have some more. more

This place is heaven on earth. I went there i few months ago and I can't stop going back. Every time I go in there the staff is SOOO friendly and helpful; even when the line is out the door.\r The flavors change seasonally but like always I am infatuated with the Ron Bennington. Next in line is the Éclair cupcake. \r There are games to play and SWINGS at the counter. That's where I like to sit with my Ron Bennington and the very best cappuccino ever. Pros: Best staff ever Cons: too delicious! I am going to gain 10lbs more

Love Mollys, everything is hand made, and decorated and filled one at a time, by hand. The recipes and flavors are really unique and every filled cupcake tastes like a dessert in a 5 star restaurant (for only $4!). Try the Ron Bennington unless you hate Chocolate or Peanut Butter. I also love the plain cupcakes and the minis. \r \r I think my favorite thing about mollys though is they're always creating and looking for new ways to offer things that blow away the competition and they usually succeed.\r \r Stop in often, you never know when they'll be creating Italian sodas made the old fashioned way, or a new kind of ice cream, or scones, or a new blend of hot chocolate, or cinnebunnies!\r \r Pros: everythings fresh, amazing recipes Cons: fattening! more

The ron bennington cupcake is the best I ever had. Hats off to mollys. And the pumpkin spice. Out of this world. more

Nothing beats a Ron Bennington Cupcake! Pros: Ron Bennington Cupcake Cons: they are so far away from me in jersey!!! more

These are honestly the best cupcakes ever. I especially enjoy the customization that goes into each cupcake :)\r \r I go to school in Milwaukee and I wish they could deliver here!\r \r ALSO! The staff is am-az-ing. Super friendly. Pros: best. cupcakes. ever. Cons: they're all I want to eat when I'm in Chicago = weight gain more

This place is the BEST! We love going here every time we're in Chicago. I'm from New York, and can tell you honestly that no place in NYC stands close to Molly's. It's perfect: you can pick your own frosting (and cake) to create your idea of perfect. The red velvet (my fave) is super moist and yummy. I love the atmosphere, it's fun and happy and always bustling with friendly staff and customers. We love the games, too! Can't wait to go back! Pros: The BEST red velvet cupcake I have ever had! By Far! Cons: n/a more
