Grace and Shelly’s Cupcakes

I can’t comment on the cupcakes, since I have only tried the ice cream here. I stopped by the other day for a refreshing treat and tried their flavor of the month, which in March was «Bake Sale». It was a cookie dough flavor with chunks of brownie and cheesecake, it was delicious. I was able to sample the toasted coconut and mocha flavors, which were also very good.

These cupcakes are delicious they are always moist no matter what time of day I come and they have delicious flavors
They have never disappointed I love this place

PERSONALLY ONLY TASTED THE GLUTEN-​FREE CUPCAKES
These are the only items I’ve had over several visits. They don’t make too many and have definitely run out by early afternoon. While the flavor is great and (very) cute-​ly decorated, these Cakes are pretty dense and only mildly moist inside (however that’s a common difficulty in GF pastries with difficult solutions). Not the freshest tasting… I assume from only having a limited number made each time and not enough potential customers.
BUT GOOD LOCATION, SERVICE, CHILL SPOT
Prices for everything are great especially for being in Downtown Naples. Although I haven’t tried, the Ice Cream looks pretty good. My family has had the regular Cupcakes and claim them to be fluffy and moist without being overly sweet. The guy behind the counter has been overly sweet in being apologetic if anything had run out, to being happy to answer any questions I had.

The low score comes from disappointments.
The cupcakes and the ice creams offer hardly more than what is the least amount of expected deliverable.
Service is very uneven. Portions vary between staff and days. This is clearly a staffing and management problem that remains unsolved.
The place used to be quite interesting and exciting — when it comes to cupcakes in Naples, FL — but without rethinking what’s gaining momentum elsewhere, the place will soon offer an empty storefront to someone else.

red velvet cupcake was OK. nothing i would rave about.
my husband enjoyed the pistachio ice cream which was $ 4.50 for one scoop.
the lady who served us was not very friendly or chatty. she was nothing like the flower-​on-​the-​headband-​tu-​tu-​wearing-​over-​enthusiastic bakers you see in cupcake wars.

Red velvet is super tasty. Butterfinger is by far my favorite… Cream cheese frosting gives a good twist!

The cupcakes where ok. Nothing out of this world. They didn’t have much favor and they were dry not moist. They look very cute but lack flavor. They had ice cream and these cool cones made out of different cookies but we didn’t try the ice cream nor the cones. I have them 2 star but I would not come back here.

On vacation with my boyfriend and we stopped by to this cute little cupcake and ice cream store, went for cupcakes but ended up getting ice cream and it was delicious the lady that helped us was sweet and patient, if you want good homemade ice cream go here

So much yum. Their ice creams and cupcakes are delicious! Death by peanut butter is no lie!

Lovely little cupcake shop. We thought there was a location closer to the mall but I think this may be the only one. Decorated very nice, really cool floors, light colors, greasy location, and modern looking. Friendly staff.
Now to the cup cakes!!! DELICIOUS! Just amazing! We bought 6 large cupcakes and the minis. Spent about $ 36. The first one I tried was a pineapple upside down cake. The chunks of pineapple and cherry in the cake made it over the top. Then I tried a mini red velvet. Very moist cake. The frosting wasn’t overly sweet.
If you have a Florida ID, you get a free cupcake with the purchase of 3.

Best cupcake I have ever had (chocolate peanut butter). Just wish they offered flavored and specialty coffees, or even a cappuccino.

I wish there was a way to give no stars cause this place deserves none…
No no no flavor no taste not even moist I can make better cupcakes then this, save your money and your time there’s better desserts on Fifth Avenue, like Wynn’s
They are very pricey for what you get for price I
I give them 10 dollar sings for being pricy ULTRA HIGH END WITH NO TASTE!!! LLL!LLL

We bought a variety pack to take home and they were delicious. If you are on 5^th avenue it’s worth taking a variety pack to go — it’s perfect to share. Lots of great flavors!

Got ice cream here twice during our 3 day stay in Naples! The Salted Carmel Cashew Crunch ice cream was delicious! They even have a ton of cone choices. All the usuals, but they have a chocolate cake cone and even a pretzel cone. I tried the Raspberry Lemonade cupcake, and it was so yummy! Sweet, yet refreshing. We will be hitting them up again on our next trip to Naples! The woman who helped us even gave us points of interest to visit in Naples. Customer service was top notch!

Amazing cupcakes! We ordered 36 for a wedding shower and the guests loved them. Full of flavor and very moist. This is now my favorite frosting. Plus they are beautiful. Flavors we tried were red velvet, avalanche, tiramisu, chocolate raspberry, and chocolate peanut butter.

My friend and I passed by Grace and Shelly’s Cupcakes on a Saturday night. Since it was the first time we’ve been here we decided to get the 12 pack of shooters (mini cupcakes) to try out a variety of flavors.
The first shooter I had, which was the worst one, was the brown sugar caramel. The consistency of the cake was a little odd, but okay. The frosting was horrible; it tasted just like butter. I tried to find any other flavor or consistency in the frosting, but all I could taste was butter covered in a caramel drizzle. It was the same for another caramel covered shooter that was in the pack.
Other than those two, the rest were good. I did notice that the vanilla cakes were more like poundcake (which I don’t mind at all) but some may find them a bit too dry. The chocolate cake was AMAZING. Every single chocolate shooter did not disappoint, and the same goes for the red velvet.
If you’re in town, you should try this place out, just be careful of the flavors I had mentioned above. Also, the store was really cute and clean (which is a major plus for me).

This is the main bakery where they bake, then ship out to their other locations.
Parking may be a challenge since its Downtown, however there is additional parking in the back. Obey the signs though or you may get towed.
ASK when the cakes were last baked, sometime are not fresh.
LOVE the shots of frosting you can buy, love the gluten free Devil’s cupcakes.

Such fun flavor combinations! What a cute shop! Everything about this cupcake shop was poising itself to be one of the highlights of my Naples trip. Their frosting was one of the best ones I’ve ever had. So rich and creamy! If I were basing this review on that, it would be a 5!
Sadly, the cupcake itself was devastatingly dry. It was a group of 4 of us and each of us tried a different flavor… and each one of us was met with a brick under delicious frosting.

The business model is crisp and the product delivery is too. In the last year, two friends collaborated with intent of opening four locations for sale of cupcakes.
The Fifth Avenue location is really attractive, with robin egg blue walls, lucite chairs, and brushed stainless café tables. Large scale photos on the wall show several individual cupcakes, as well as the promotional endorsement of TV’s «cake boss.»
I appreciated the good sense these «sweet» ladies showed in bringing a recognizable, and long-​time successful, establshed brand into the store. Along with a list of cupcakes, Grace & Shelly sells locally made Royal Scoop ice cream.
About those cupcakes (!) They are moist and flavorful. I would say that the size is the same as baking cups you would use at home. The baker here does not over pour the batter, so the cupcakes all uniformly fit into their papers. Then, icing on top is about ²⁄₃ the height of the cake.
I loved the treat. I had a coffee, and stumbled on one small detail to mar the experience. Quality baked goods deserves quality drink. Coffee was good, but the only creamer available was milk requested from the kitchen, or dreadful pre-​packaged thimbles of Coffee Mate. I will go back, however. Even if I can’t get half-​n-​half for the coffee.

I don’t envy a place like Grace and Shelly’s. They’ve got a tough job, trying to balance creativity with senior citizen appeal. Naples is tricky like that. There’s a ton of foot traffic (hence, restaurants and desserteries), and that foot traffic is in a money-​spending mood. But the snow bird lot has their tastes set in stone, more or less, and many of them would shy away from an abundance of craziness from the local cupcake concern.
As such, Grace and Shelly’s needs to walk a fine line between being innovative and being too far out there. And they succeed. They have a wealth of varieties that showcase classic flavors (carrot cake with a whipped cream cheese frosting) and just-​a-​little-​whimsical items (Butterfinger cupcake, as an example).
I recommend Grace and Shelly’s as a baked goods alternative to the wealth of ice cream, gelato and fro-​yo options on 5^th Avenue.
