OMG Cup & Cakes

After my first two visits to this place I would’ve given them between 3 – 4 stars. The cupcakes weren’t very fresh and moist seeming but they hit the spot for my cupcake cravings. Another consistent disappointment was that they were not gourmet seeming at all. The icing was just alright and the cupcake was on the small size for gourmet. Additionally, there was no cute container to put them in.
My last visit was so disappointing that I haven’t been back in over a year. I’ve had the key lime, blackout (chocolate on chocolate) and big red (red velvet). The big red was so nasty that I spit it out after a few bites. It had a weird taste to it and it was so dry. I figured that it was spoiled. The other cupcakes in that batch were also horrible. My friend and I were really upset because they aren’t cheap. We were just trying to support a local, black-​owned business but were too greatly disappointed. The service, nonetheless, was outstanding! But we’re rating the cupcakes here.

Once again, the service and dedication to customers at OMG knocks me off my feet! They held a contest on Facebook and I won a free cake! And everyone one else that participated won free cupcakes! Can you say OMG!!! :-)

Stopped in to try out the local bakery and was very happy with what i found. An unbelievable cake (cheesecake in the center-​and chocolate cake on both sides). I was so impressed by the «PUPCAKES» that i bought a half dozen for my 2 dogs (Israel and Cayman). To top of the experience, the girl working that night (Shaune) was a treat to be around…
They have a new customer!!!

Staff was very friendly. Cupcakes were delish however of the two «spirited» cupcakes, I tasted the bourbon in the Sweet Bourbon but I think they forgot to add the liquor to the White Russian. It tasted like a regular vanilla cake with butter cream on top. Good stuff though. I’d still go back.

I’ve tried OMG Cup & Cakes many times and no problems but I ordered some for the Christmas holidays and was disappointed. The main thing was they were dry which was unusual. I ordered a dozen cupcakes a mixture of red velvet, strawberry, and vanilla. It seem like the cupcakes were a bit smaller or maybe it was the lack of icing not sure. A+ for customer service but fell short on the cupcakes this time around. It happens. I’ll give them another chance especially for the Elvis cupcakes.

The girl behind the counter was really sweet and welcoming and let me know about specials, her favorites and the scoutmob deal (I was already ready to get half off). She also let me know about the rewards card called belly. (How cute is that?) Carrot cake was awesome! I goot caught up with names and forgot to get basics. Strawberry, red velvet and key lime. I guess Ill be going back. The others I tried had too much icing… Some people are into that. The cake was soo moist! My little cousins are in love with the snickers cup cake and I think I have moved to the top as their favorite ‘old’ cousin.

Everyone has talked about how great the cupcakes are and how awesome the service is, but let’s talk about those pupcakes. My two small Chihuahuas shared one recently and were very happy puppies after plowing into their respective pieves. My youngest dog now perks up whenever I say «pupcake.»
Definitely pick up a pupcake if you love your dog!

These cupcakes are awesome.
I mean, you know something is delicious when you are completely full, and you’re still stuffing more cupcakes in your face. They have all the flavors you’d expect, though, they do chocolate variations best. The salted caramel is amazing too.

During my morning jog yesterday, I spotted a little girl on the sidewalk dressed as a Samoa, attempting to sing a song about Girl Scout cookies, attract pedestrians’ attention and control the flapping fabric at the same time.
Later in the afternoon, I stepped into OMG Cup & Cakes to find a Samoa cupcake topped with pretzel sticks. Clearly I was meant to eat it.
I destroyed it.
Other flavor temptations included the Elvis Royale (it incorporated peanut butter and bacon, natch), the peanut butter dream and something with a hunk of caramel on top. I’m sure they are shuddering in their box on my kitchen counter, awaiting salivation and destruction.

I had the best Black Out cake in years from this vendor who contributed his wares to the Unilocal helps launch party this week. See photo. This is an unusual recipe, which is not too common in the south (unlike red velvet), so the fact that they make it so well, my appreciation is really heightened!
I DEFINITELY will be visiting their shop to make some various purchases.

I got a cupcake from OMG accidentally at an event. The nice lady who runs the place was handing them out and recommended as her favorite the salted caramel: a chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream, sea salt, a caramel drizzle, and a little chunklet of caramel on top.* The cake was, to my mind, the ideal of a devil’s food cake: feather-​light, but still rich. The chocolate flavor was deep yet balanced. The buttercream was also feather-​light and not too sweet – and with the occasional crunch of salt, it was elevated to a completely other plane. The ratio of frosting to cake was perfect, although it’s amazing I had time to notice this because I got on the outside of that cupcake faster than you can say «extremely goddamn delicious.»
And that is all there is to say about that.
*I shall heretofore be known as «a little chunklet of caramel,» but only to those who know me.

Mmmn… Delicious cupcakes. Was able to order a dozen of mixed flavors with a gift card that I received recently. So far, so good. Right now I would recommend the yellow cupcake with cream cheese icing as well as the cupcake with the chocolate shaving on top. Other flavors we ordered were the strawberry and the red velvet and I can’t wait to try them. Definitely recommend that you visit this shop if you are in the area.
Once a month on Saturday, they also have a late night happy hour with great DJ named L. Knight and they provide free beer. It’s such a fun way to enjoy your cupcakes.

I am a HUGE fan of cupcakes, I came across this place on Unilocal and wanted to give them a try. The people are very sweet there which makes me want to try them again. The cupcakes were good not great, I will try them again and try other flavors. The strawberry cheescake cupcake didn’t have that cream cheese flavor I was looking for. The key lime was just ok too, I thinkif they had better flavor icing I would be a fan.
try them out yourself and let me know what is the best one so I can try it.

I am giving this little spot 3 stars because of the ambiance & the nice young lady behind the counter. But as far as the cup cakes go my husband and I both tried 2 different favors and all were meh!
*bold type*This place is not Cami Cakes!*bold type*
Red velvet & Peach cup cakes were not moist at all. Just glad we used Scoutmob & got 50% off.
I would gladly go back for a mini meeting, nice people work there :), free wifi & glass of lemon-​aid just not the cup cakes.

After engorging myself with a chicken sausage slider or three at Delia’s this past Saturday, I promptly turned to Scoutmob for assistance identifying a nearby dessert source. At the time, it seemed like nothing short of serendipity that OMG Cup & Cakes was less than a mile away. In retrospect, I was likely suffering from impaired judgment as the result of hyperinsulinemia.
Cupcakes: OMG Cup & Cakes offers approximately 16 different flavors of cupcakes, most of which are available on a daily basis. Gluten-​free options and dog-​friendly cupcakes, or «Pupcakes», are also available. During my visit, I opted for the chocolate peanut butter, strawberry cheesecake, vanilla white chocolate, strawberry banana margarita, the Queen Bee (honey-​infused cream cheese frosting), and another chocolate-​based cupcake that I don’t recall the name of. The frosting of each cupcake was incredibly flavorful, but the cake portion was painfully dry. The cupcakes were also meagerly frosted, which was unfortunate considering that it was the best component.
Service: Friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to answer any questions. There were no name plates in the showcase, so we asked the girl behind the counter to give a brief tour of all the available flavors. Once we made our flavor choices, she promptly packaged boxed them and cashed us out.
Atmosphere: OMG Cup & Cakes is located in the heart of East Atlanta Village. The shop itself is small, but clean and nicely decorated. There was no indoor seating during my visit, but two tables were set-​up on the sidewalk outside the shop. The cupcakes are all neatly presented on decorative platters inside a glass case at the front counter. Unfortunately, the to-​go containers are not as impressive — instead of the clean-​lined boxes I’ve come to expect from other gourmet cupcake shops, they use clear plastic clamshell containers.
Cost: Most cupcakes are $ 2.75 each, while certain premium varieties are $ 3.25.
Other: OMG Cup & Cakes does not have its own lot — however, ample and free parking is available along Flat Shoals Avenue. Both cash and credit cards are accepted. Free WiFi is also available.

So what’s in the cupcakes? The rep says she doesn’t know, they don’t make them here. All she knows is that it doesn’t have eggs. Well that’s not helpful, I would love to know what I’m eating since it’s not a traditional dessert i.e. vegan cupcakes. I cracked a joke about the doggy cupcake meant for pets and she replied she eats those… just not the cookie placed on top of the cupcake, because it doesn’t have any sugar.
I didn’t even eat a cupcake here, but maybe I would have if they had a better person working the front of the store.
The entire conversation did not make these cupcakes appealing. So maybe if someone brings them to work or at a function, I’ll try them one day. But I don’t foresee myself visiting again in the neat future.

I’ve been wanting to try OMG Cup and Cake ever since I received the Scoutmob deal on my phone. I love all things sweet so a new Cupcake Shop… I had to check it out.
I ordered 4 cupcakes.
Simply Vanilla-​its a pretty boring cupcake. The cake was pretty dry and the frosting was a bit tasteless.
Tuxedo– DELICIOUS!!! OMG, I’m a fan. The cake was super moist but not fall apart moist. The frosting was good however the cake is what stood out to me.
Hazelnut Heaven-​this cupcake was pretty bland as well. I am a huge Hazelnut fan so I was quite disappointed in this cupcake. I didnt taste any hazelnut flavor. Maybe it was just this batch, I may give it another try.
The Village-​DELICIOUS!!! Again I say, OMG! I believe its the same cake as the Tuxedo, hence my love for this cupcake. The salted caramel on top is «to-​die-​for.» Great combination.
OMG Cup & Cake truly knows how to make a good chocolate cake. I gave them 3 stars because I like 2 out of the 4 cupcakes I ordered. I definitely plan to give them another try especially since I’m always on the block getting my eyebrows threaded. I like that this is a family business. The shop is cute. Parking isn’t an issue, its street parking, free from meters. I also want to try their coffee. I wish them much success.

Wonderful service! This was my first visit so the employee (Janay) explained ever ingredient of every cupcake. Which is good for someone as indecisive as me. She also informed me of the other services they offer (birthday cakes and soon they will be serving homemade ice cream)!
Now for the cupcakes… I tried the Key Lime and fell in love! Moist with a tangy filing, and not overpowering or too sweet of an icing. I also tried the Red Velvet and have to admit I was hesitant at first because I don’t care for red velvet cakes that taste just like chocolate; if I wanted chocolate cake I would just order chocolate cake… DUH! But the Red Velvet was sooooo GOOD and moist… I LOVED it. I like that the cupcakes were not super sweet and didn’t make you go into a diabetic comma (that was a plus).
Cupcakes are $ 2.75/ea. I had a Scoutmob and ended up purchasing a ½ dozen for $ 8.25. I never would have paid regular price mainly because I love a deal and darn near $ 20 for 6 cupcakes is not a deal to me no matter how yummy. But I will say I’m sure I will be back for a cupcake or two!

Really enjoyed this place. Lots of cupcakes, perfect size, very moist, good price, perfect amount of icing. They also had these really yummy salted caramels for sale– I hope that’s a usual thing!
Management was also very nice and there were lots of tables to sit at. Décor is lacking but maybe the store is new.

I tried Omg Cup & Cakes today because I was in the area and they were on Scoutmob. I have to say that I was quite impressed.
Omg Cup & Cakes is located in the middle of historic east Atlanta, just south of I-​20 and east of Moreland Ave. Given that this neighborhood was originally built for streetcars, you will have to find a spot to park. I was able to find a spot a few yards up the street. The nice part is that I did not see any parking meters on flat shoals ave, so free parking… YEAH!
The Scoutmob deal requires you to buy four different cupcakes… but don’t be discouraged by that small rule. Once you see the cupcakes, you may be tempted to buy even more. I don’t remember the exact cupcake names I finally decided on; I believe the flavors were key lime, original, hazelnut, and cookies and cream.
I also noticed that they sell some pet cupcakes… they are well presented with a little doggy bone treat on the top… perfect treat for man/women’s best friend after a walk. If only I had a dog.
Omg Cup & Cakes appears to only have cupcakes, but I could be wrong. It would be nice to add some hot beverages to go with the coffee… but then again there is a coffee shop right across the street.
I just cannot justify eating four cupcakes in one day. So far, I have eaten the original and key lime cupcakes; but fear not, the other two cupcakes will be gone by tomorrow.
