So I stumbled upon this gem of shop and tried a cupcake... extremely charming cozy spot, friendly people but I've tried a couple of cupcakes at other cupcake bakeries around and wasn't that impressed - I mean if that's all you do, it better be amazing. That takes the Cake did not disappoint! AWESOME, fresh, moist cupcakes with interesting yet not overpowing flavors and not too-sweet icing. This place is on the end of Union, past Fillmore so you could miss it if you thought you might just walk by it while shopping (it's across from Novella) but it's worth the couple of extra blocks (plus you can walk off your treat too). I've been back 3x since my first visit and it's a new addiction. The banana cake and mint chocolate are so good you'll immediately want another dozen to gobble down. Seriously. Do yourself a favor and get a cupcake from this place. I want to get married again just so I can have these at my wedding instead of a boring cake. Oh well. I'll just keep treating myself to these little bundles of goodness.
Pros: fantastic flavors, moist, fresh
Cons: I don't live closer
