Giovanni makes a lot of these cupcakes himself! He’s the lovely 30 something Italian guy that mans the cupcake shop most days. Ladies eat your hearts out!(That’s actually kind of a weird phrase now that I’ve typed it) He serves you with a smile and a wave and will talk to you all day about his passions which are many and close between: Confectionary Art, Poetry, Juventus and Love Making. Some of his proudest designs include minions from the Despicable Me movies(which I still haven’t seen and probably won’t. I know people say they’re good but the people who say that are usually really boring or annoying) and Oscar the Grouch which he has encased in a glass box and promises never to sell no matter what the price. Great cupcakes and a fun little seating area where you get a great view of Giovanni’s buns(if you know what I mean)

Verdict: Subpar. VERY dried out cake and too much lard in the frosting. We came at the end of the day so the selection was very sparse, but I won’t hold that against them. It seems like they are set up more so for specialty ordering than a mall kiosk(which is what they are). Disappointing really.

No comments for Johnnie Cupcakes? Come on! How is it possible! Best cupcakes ever! The cheapest too(2 euros each)! Just the thought of them make me want a book a flight to Dublin. I’ve tasted them all. My favorites: Vanilla Bean, New Yorker and of course Banoffi! I wish they could come to France but for now they’re only expanding in the UK. If you go to Dublin, make a quick stop at the Ilac Centre to taste them!
