In Short – Cupcakes made daily using locally sourced and organic ingredients are displayed like gems in glass cases at this mostly to-go shop. Flavors include classics like sweet chocolate, carrot and vanilla, as well as more grown-up varieties such as buttermilk cake filled with passion-fruit curd and topped with vanilla butter cream.

Moist Bundles of Sweet Happiness

by vanessam888

I think my headline says it all. However I will say a very sweet cake and a very sweet frosting can be a bit much. Maybe they should make one less sweet than the other. Oh never mind. That's a lousy idea.

  • Pros: Too Sweet
  • Cons: Too Sweet

Don't do it!

by NikkiAEC

I love cupcakes, and Kara's come with a good reputation, albeit a high price tag. However, I refuse to support a business owned by someone as unkind as Kara. I've seen managers with various managing styles, but I have never seen someone berate their staff the way Kara has (maybe with the exception of Gordon Ramsey from Hell's Kitchen). Cupcakes are supposed to be happy, friendly food (although not so friendly in terms of calories), but instead, my experience was tainted by the owner's harsh words to an employee. It seems like a really hostile, unhealthy environment to work in, and I will NOT be returning.

  • Pros: variety of flavors
  • Cons: price, Kara's treatment of staff

Yummy cupcakes!

by angelallang

I LOVE these cupcakes. The best is that they are moist, and the frosting is quite divine! I love the Meyer Lemon, the Coconut, and the Chocolate Velvet. I did get Sibby's for a recent party, and they were very cute, but not nearly as moist as Kara's.

Gotta be gentle with these darlings, since they will melt if kept out too long. They are also easily squished in the box.

  • Pros: Great cupcakes!!!
  • Cons: Need to eat them right away, parking is rather challenging
