LaBella Cupcakes

Their cupcakes are really good. The icing wasn’t over powering, it was a perfect blend.

Seriously, the place is plain? Toledo is plain. I’m not eating their store I am eating their cupcakes! Awesome place. I am a chocolate person and the wedding cake cupcake was to die for. Living in Austin, TX –I am in the midst of a premier food town. However, I fly to Cleveland for the cupcakes. I prefer normal sized cupcakes (check LaBella), not the colossal ones Try to this place, you won’t be disapointed!

I really really like the cupcakes and frosting from LaBella, but recently have been disappointed. I know business is down and the husband and wife team are cutting hours to try to conserve. They are now only open Wed evenings from 5 – 9 p.m.; Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. They shoud reconsider being open on Sundays since they are a huge day for bakeries.
I was in this past Saturday and was told (possibly inadvertently) that the cupcakes were made 2 days earlier. OK, great, I thought. I know sometimes bakers make wedding cakes ahead of time and freeze them and they are perfectly fine. My cupcake however was not. It was slightly dry and crumbly. If I’m going to purchase 2 day old cupcakes then that should be disclosed and I shouldn’t be charged full price. The website states, «We believe in baking fresh cupcakes & buttercream every morning, never frozen. You’ll taste & see the difference after one bite.» So, maybe mine weren’t frozen but they definitely weren’t baked that day.
I understand when unexpected things happen but it seems to impact the business more than it should. I sincerely doubt the storefront will be open in a year, which is too bad.
UPDATE — 8÷1÷12 — they will be closed for all of August and then September 1^st only doing online ordering and delivery. .. .. ..

Is this place ever open? I have looked at their websites millions of times and yet they are never there when the hours are up. I like the cupcakes, I think they are better than most cupcake places in Cleveland.

We had LaBella Cupcakes for our wedding reception instead of a standard wedding cake. If that’s not a ringing endorsement, I don’t know what is.
The flavors are playful and numerous. Stop in to see what’s available, but get there early in the day. When they’re gone, they’re gone!

The cupcakes are AMAZING here and they are always trying new flavors.
Great Scott’s Bakery and LaBella have the best cupcakes (in my mind) in all of Cleveland. The owners are really sweet too and they do all kinds of social media discounts so“friend” them :)

Cupcake Place. Small storefront in Lakewood.
For me, the maple + bacon and pumpkin spice are my favorites. She likes the red velvet. Mileage may vary, but get there early.

One of my friends had these on her birthday. I tried the cookies and cream flavor as I am a vanilla person over chocolate. It did not disappoint. While most people are all about the frosting, I am much more of a cake person and this cake did not disappoint. The frosting was very good as well and not so much that it overpowered the cake. I did share my frosting with my new little buddy who IS all about the frosting, though. These seem to be the favorite of all my friends in Lakewood and totally trumps Main Street Cupcakes in RR.

In terms of the shop itself, it was very plain. I realize that people are going there for the cupcakes, but it seemed very bare in there– more of a to go type place than a sit down and chat.
The price was reasonable for a cupcake place ($ 2 per cupcake) considering the one where I live charges $ 2.50.
When I saw the picture shown on their Unilocal page, I was expecting really cute cupcakes. They weren’t ugly, but just not as cute as the picture. But apparently they can make those pretty cupcakes with the pretty wrappers upon request (probably for catering?).
I ended up getting the Cookies and Cream and the Dark Chocolate Raspberry. The frosting for both was VERY, VERY sugary and I think a whipped frosting (I’m no baker so I could be wrong.) The frosting was almost TOO sweet! But the cake part was moist and not very sweet so it offset the frosting. (For the record, I don’t like things that are TOO sweet so when I say that the cake was not very sweet, I mean it as a compliment because the cupcake wasn’t overbearingly sugary, sweet.)
The Cookies and Cream had a thin layer of chocolate cake or a cookie on the bottom. Like I said, the cake wasn’t sweet but tasted good with the frosting and the little Oreo on top was a great touch!
The Dark Chocolate Raspberry just seemed like very ordinary chocolate cake. The plus to this was the raspberry jam like filing. Although the cake was ordinary and not sweet, the raspberry filling added to the flavor.
I feel bad giving LaBella’s a 3 star rating compared to all the other ratings that everyone else left because the cupcakes were pretty good and based on other reviews, it seems as though LaBella’s is one of the better cupcake places in Cleveland. But compared to the cupcake place where I live, it’s not as memorable. I would probably have given Labella’s a 4 star if the place was cuter/​friendlier.

The dish is delish. Seriously, you can’t go wrong with any of their cupcakes, but cookies&cream and pumpkin spice top the charts (at least for me). Everyone is so friendly too. On Mondays, all the cupcakes are half off! So really, there’s no excuse.

Best cupcakes ever. The staff member was super friendly and helpful. I got the Cookies & Cream Cupcake and the Wedding Bliss and it was light and delicious. There was another one I tried… some kind of watermelon cupcake and it was really good (mistakenly picked it up thinking it was strawberry but still delicious). Usually not a huge fan of frosting but their frosting is light which I love.

Best. Cupcakes. Ever. Can’t really say any more than that!

Holy crapola! This storefront (and interior) is unassuming, but geeeeee whiz.
I’m going to say it. Ready?
Best cupcakes in Cleveland!

Wow.
WOW. Some seriously good cupcakes. Made my first visit there today and while I live nowhere near LaBella, I’m going to find reasons to go back, trust me.
I’m pretty sure you could pick any flavor and it would taste stupendous. You can tell these cubcakes were made with the highest quality ingredients and a great deal of loving care.
Go try these wonderful treats. These people make a great product and deserve to be supported.

I have watched this small little bakery grow from just a website to a full fledged store front.
If you are looking for an AMAZING cupcake that will make love to your tastebuds then this is the place. If you are looking for perfect buttercream then this is the place. If you are looking for cool flavors like Maple Bacon, Peanut butter Chocolate, Guinness Trifecta, and the list goes on, then this is the place.

Cupcakes.
I am admittedly a cupcake afficionado and had been trying all of the local places in the greater Cleveland area to satiate my desire to find, finally, a great cupcake in NE OH.
*This is the place. Perfectly sweet and savory. Balanced flavor profiles. Delivery at a reasonable price. Moist. Beautiful.
I ordered 40 cupcakes for a birthday party that we were having downtown at Zdara on W 9^th. Wedding Whisper, Oreo & Crème, Red Velvet, Molten Chocolate, Peanut Butter Cup, all amazing.
I judge based off a simple white cupcake. The Wedding Whisper was my baseline and it was incredible. I’ll never get cupcakes in Cleveland anywhere else.

These are the best cupcakes ever! I usually don’t like frosting but I love LaBella Cupcakes! Try the flavor Wedding Whisper, it’s my favorite so far. Cookies and Crème is delicious too and it has an Oreo cookie at the bottom of it.

I am not a fan of cupcakes and they always look a lot better than they actually taste. LaBalla Cupcakes is the exception. Each bite was better than the last and they were honestly the BEST cupcakes I have ever had. They aren’t too sweet and there is something about that frosting that is just AMAZING :)
I ordered a dozen to be picked up and taken to a family function. They had 12 flavors of the day so I got one of each. Flavors change daily and each sounds fabulous. I would suggest finding a way to label them but it didn’t seem to matter which one we ate because we loved all of them. The wraps around the cupcakes are cute and unique and everyone was impressed by the quality. They are $ 2 a cupcake but worth it!
The employees were friendly and my order was ready on time. I did pass the store the first time I drove by, they don’t have much of storefront yet. Bring some change for the parking meter!

I’ve never been a much of a cupcake person until I tried LaBella’s cupcakes. Super moist and bursting with interesting and delicious flavors. Her Maple Bacon and Guinness Trifecta are two of my favorites! Cute packaging. Very friendly owners. If you haven’t been, you need to go!

Cookies and Crème, Maple and Bacon, Pumpkin Spice, these are things dreams are made of!
I love cupcakes, I especially love cupcakes when the owner is nice and pleasant as she serves them up! This location is very new, as of writing they have only been open with a storefront for nearly 2 weeks, sure they had delivery before that but that’s a bit different.
The location isn’t the best, it’s on a pretty empty street, but that means good things for parking! The cupcakes are slightly smaller than I’d expect for the price, but not so small that I won’t go back. The two I tasted today were great! The best part is the owner, if you follow her on twitter you can basically chart the life of the cupcake you’re having as she tweets when baking. That’s exciting!
Oh and for those who want to save some cash. at the end of the day today she discounted them 25 percent for the last 30 mins or so. not much was left, but whatever was you got cheaper… not sure if that’s an every day thing, but I’d follow on Twitter to find out.
