I can't believe this place was considered the best of Citysearch. I've tried several cupcakes from Crumbs in Beverly Hills, Violet's in Pasadena, Auntie Em's Kitchen in Eagle Rock, and The cupcakery in Las Vegas and they are way better compared to this bakery. Not only was the service slow (we waited 15 mins to get our cupcakes when there was only one lady ahead of us who ordered 5 cupcakes) and unfriendly (the girl in the tattoo didn't even want to help us) but the place smelled funny and was stuffy inside. Furthermore, the cleaning mop was in plain view behind the cupcakes. Despite the service and aesthetics, I also had the worst cupcakes in the world. The cupcakes were extremely dry, bland, and hard as a rock. Most of the taste came from the frosting, which was too sweet. The cupcakes I make from store bought powder mix are even better than what this place had to offer. However, I must acknowledge that of the four cupcakes I had, only one was decent (the one with fudge inside), not excellent. Because of the inconsistent quality of the cupcake, I do not recommend this place to anyone. Eating a cupcake from here is a waste of calories and a huge disappointment. If you're in the area and have a sweet tooth, skip this place and head down to Porto's, which is on the same street where the baked goods are amazing.
Pros: promoting the cupcake craze
Cons: cupcakes do not taste good, slow service, looks dirty inside
