That Takes The Cake

Absolutely Deelish!

I absolutely love the cupcakes here. I stumbed upon this fabulous place during a stroll down Union. The cupcakes truly taste homemade, and the flavors are out of this world. It's a locally owned cupcake boutique, and the owners are so incredibly sweet. They even do weddings/special events. If you haven't been, you don't know what you're missing. If you have been.....just face the fact that you'll have to run a couple extra miles because they are addicting!

The Nutella cupcakes are soooo delicious, I can't get enough of them. This cupcakery is the bomb and so convienient to my house near Union St. All of the cupcakes look incredible-the mini ones are to die for. They totally cure my chocolate cravings and are so pretty to look at! HAnds down, the best cupcakes in town.

• Pros: There are so many different flavors
• Cons: I can't eat all of them

Bright, clean and cute store

by foodielover at Citysearch

I was ambling down Union Street and spotted this cute storefront and popped right in after I saw the uniformly aligned, inviting cupcakes luring at me from the display case while I stood at the doorway. It was as if they had imaginary arms waving me in. I knew exactly what to try, my favorite, a red velvet cupcake. The server was friendly and smiling the whole time even 'tho I only purchased one cupcake. My tastebuds were all in alert status hoping to replicate the same sensuous flavor as the ones I crave for at Noe Valley Bakery, but they were disappointed. The frosting didn't have as creamy nor cheesy flavor as the ones at NVB, maybe it's not cream cheese? And it reminded me of the outer shell of a meringue. The cupcake was very moist & I really liked the red color and the fact that the cake wasn't too sweet. The server told me it's a recipe passed down 3 generations. You get a larger cupcake for the same price at NVB. Ah, live and learn. The tiny store is clean, bright & well-lit and the cupcakes are attractively displayed with a large variety to chose from.

• Pros: Pretty, attractive, brightly lid storefront, friendly staff, nothing but cupcakes
• Cons: Parking, small cupcakes
