PolkaDot Cupcakery

You’ll be saying «Gigi is a name of a poodle» after taking your first bite out of a Rob Lowe eaten’d cupcakery cupcake. One time, I was sad then I ate their cupcake and am like. Dang son. That was the cupcakeriest cupcake I’ve ever put up on my mouth. The end.

To be honest, I’m not a huge fan of cupcakes. And the icing height on these make them somewhat difficult to get in my mouth without making a mess. But they taste fantastic, and my girlfriend really likes them. The daily variety is nice, just need to remember to get there while they still have some. I think they’d take off with a better location, as their product is top notch.

Some of the best cupcakes we have eaten. Ordered a dozen vanilla cupcakes with buttercream frosting for a baby shower. Tammi was kind enough to fill my order on a Monday when the shop is closed. I sent her a few pictures of what I was looking for and she matched it to a T! I was very impressed. I’m a do it myselfer/​bake it myself kind of gal, although, after Tammi’s cupcakes, I definitely won’t hesitate when time is not of the essence! Amazing job!

I’m so glad that I did my research around Columbus for local delivery! Tammi was very accommodating. I wanted to surprise my boyfriend. I live out in California. I’ve called other places around, but they wouldn’t pick up on my phone calls or respond back to my emails. So I called PolkaDot Cupcakery. The prices are reasonable, the cakes are high quality. Before Tammi delivers the cupcakes, she would even take a picture and e-​mail it to you to see what they look like.
TL;DR: if you’re looking for a place to delivery this is the place to do it at!

Good product, good service, good value. I have twice sent cupcakes to mourners who might not appreciate flowers. Both same-​day delivery, and am happy with the results. Thanks, Ms Tammi.

This is an awesome place! The owner Tammi is excellent and I can’t be happier with the service and product! I called her from Delaware and made an order of cupcakes to deliver the next day to one of our teams in Columbus! She went out of her way and was wonderful. Our team raved about their cupcakes! Support this business, you won’t be disappointed, I sure wasn’t!
Next time I’m in Columbus I’m definitely passing by!!!

Okay! I’ve been back now at least 2 more times, and it’s still fantastic. The other day, Tammi (the owner) had some Lemon Drop cupcakes that she’d been making for a private order, and made one up for me. It was like, the best cupcake I’ve ever had. Buttery lemon curd on the inside, light vanilla cake, and a bright lemon buttercream on top. SO GOOD.
I also tried buckeye, chai and got another chocolate covered strawberry BECAUSE THEY ARE SO RAD.
You guys. I’m not joking. These are the real deal and you must go pronto. And now they’ve added drinks and cute places to sit! It’s really adorably decorated, as well.

I absolutely love this place! I went there yesterday, and got 2 strawberry lemonade cupcakes, and 2 salted caramel pretzel. I have had the pretzel flavor before, which is my all time favorite. The strawberry lemonade was awesome as well! Still want to try the maple bacon, but they didn’t have that flavor yesterday. I recommend getting here early– when they run out they run out. A million times tastier then Gigi’s, and it’s nice to be able to support small local business!

The best cupcakes in all oh Ohio! Definitely worth your time to stop in and try some!!!

These cupcakes are delicious! I stopped in after hearing about Polka Dot on the radio, and got a buckeye, chocolate/​chocolate, snickerdoodle and salted caramel pretzel to try. I have had a lot of cupcakes in my day in various locations (NY, Utah, etc), and these were some of the best I’ve had. They are definitely the best in the Columbus area. I love that it is a small, local business to support too! Do yourself a favor and try them. :)

We happened to come upon this place while out running errands. This is definitely heads and tails above a place like Gigi’s cupcakes!
I can echo the previous statement that the chocolate cupcake was a tad dry, but the frosting on top was amazing (had the German Chocolate)
The other cupcake we’ve tried so far was the strawberry cupcake. It was amazing. The wife is generally not a fan of frosting but she raved immediately about the lightness and freshness of it and the cake. I snuck a taste and it was indeed amazing!
The only reason we don’t give this place five stars is because the selection was a tad limited and pricey. We paid just over $ 15 for a half dozen normal sized cupcakes. At a place like Gigi’s I can get a jumbo size for the $ 2.50ish that I spent for each cake here. All in all, just a great place and proud to support a local business.

I’m a serious cupcake snob and these cupcakes are the bomb. The cake is the right balance of texture and not too sweet. The frosting tastes like a Swiss buttercream. What the flour am I talking about?
American frosting is heavy on confectioners sugar which can sometimes make them taste cloyingly sweet and grainy. European buttercreams take a little more time and effort and involve heating the sugar to remove the graininess. It results in a fluffier, lighter frosting and is much more difficult and time-​consuming than the American version. People who do it and do it well should be applauded for their efforts.
Keep up the good work Polka Dot! Try the maple bacon.

The Chai Cupcake is devine. I don’t generally care for buttercream frosting, but the Polka Dot Cupcakery frosting is delicious! the chocolate cupcakes are a bit dry, but the Snickerdoodle and Chai are AMAZING! I can’t wait to try the Maple Bacon!

I was so impressed when a friend of mine surprised me with a delivery from Polka Dot Cupcakery! Each of the 12 cupcakes she sent me were absolutely beautiful!!!
My fav was the chocolate cupcake with carmel frosting and crushed pretzels on it. The inside of the cupcake had a carmel center and it was TO DIE!
The red velvet cupcakes were my least fav – just standard cream cheese icing but nothing to complain about there!
I can’t wait to go inside the store and check out all the cupcakes they make!

I can’t say enough good things about PolkaDot Cupcakery! First and foremost the owners are very friendly and professional, and just have a fantastic way of treating their customers like family! That aside, the cupcakes are out of this world! I have ordered from them on multiple occasions now and have been extremely happy each time. The cake texture is spot on, and hands down the frosting is the best I have ever had! I highly recommend PolkaDot for anyone searching for a great locally owned business, with fantastic customer service and quality products.

I wanted to get a dozen specialty cupcakes last minute for one of my girlfriends’ birthday. I did my Unilocal/​google research and found PolkaDot Cupcakery. It’s conveniently located and looked really cute! The prices listed for mini, regular, or jumbo sized cupcakes were very reasonable as well. I love that they can do fondant pieces here (and at only an extra 25 cents per cupcake!). The owner is SUPER nice and very, very accommodating.
The bakery is located on Henderson, as per the website, but she primarily will request pick-​up out of her home (it’s still in Upper Arlington and close-​by). This isn’t really the kind of place where you can just wander in and peruse cupcakes, as she makes them to-​order. If she happens to be baking that day, she says there will be a few on display in the shop.
Overall though, I was incredibly pleased with my cupcakes and even let out an embarrassing squeal of delight upon pickup. They were VERY well-​made. Everything was perfection from the generous swirl of frosting on top, to the sprinkles of shaved chocolate on the double-​chocolate cupcakes.
So, summary:
— Call-​ahead for orders, inquiries, or before stopping in
— Well-​worth the money
— I will, without a doubt, be ordering cupcakes from PolkaDot again for future birthdays and special occasions!

Went to the address listed on their website (yes, I went somewhere new without going on Unilocal first… gasp!) and it was no longer there. We called the phone number listed and an answering machine only. We left a message and asked for a call back, drove around and got nothing. THEN came to Unilocal and went to the address on the website and it was a residential area. WTH?!
1) Update your website.
2) Call back potential customers. (Which we no longer are no matter what celeb endorses them)
3) If you’re an out of the home operation, you should say so on your Unilocal listing/​website. It’s sort of implied on the «about» section of the website but if you streetview the address on the site it was a business location.
Disappointing and a waste of time driving around since that was the only reason we were on that side of town.

Had a cupcake tasting and I must say they are the best cupcakes I have had in Columbus. Must try the cookies and cream, strawberry and Irish bomb. You can’t go wrong with any of the flavors though.

We had a surprise to tell our family and we aren’t in Ohio to tell them personally so we thought we’d send them some cupcakes! We called and ordered them the day before and the woman who answered the phone was more than nice and helpful.
We ordered a dozen cupcakes and had them do up some special decorations for the occasion and they were spot on! Not expensive considering we had some ‘custom’ fondant made for our cupcakes and we ordered an assortment of their original flavors. Not only was it not super expensive as the whole ‘craze’ of cupcakes has sky rocketed the price of cupcakes, but the service was awesome! There was an additional charge for delivery but understandably they are probably not a huge company nor do they probably have a huge storefront. They delivered exactly during the time we discussed and the cupcakes (so we were told) were absolutely delicious!
It was a special moment for all of us and she even took the time to video record it on her phone when our family opened the surprise cupcakes and their reactions! She sent the video over and it was awesome to not be able to be there in person but to be able to ‘see’ their reactions online. How thoughtful and amazing is that?!? Which company takes the time to go OVER and beyond just delivering their product and sometimes leaving it at the door if the people aren’t home?!? We didn’t even ask nor knew she was going to do this for us, which made it that much better.
Cupcakes were delicious, decorated wonderfully, service was impeccable and price was reasonable! What more could you want? We paid $ 26.00 for one dozen regular flavoured cupcakes, $ 5.00 of that was delivery charge! Pretty great considering you probably pay a quarter more for these than the crappy ones at any Vons or otherwise!
I would recommend them in a minute!!!
