Kinda reminds me of Baked By Melissa, but of better quality. These mini cupcakes are bite-size, $ 1 per piece, with $ 5 for half-dozen. Flavors rotate weekly. They also have Pupcakes for your doggie. I tried the Warm Brown Sugar and the Milk and Cookie, and both were good. The icing was a little stiff from being in the fridge, but the cake was decently moist. Cute store, but I can’t see myself going out of my way to come here. Street parking on a cobblestone incline street can be difficult.

After a not so great lunch down the street we stopped in here to make up for it ! So happy we did, the woman(the owner) was so nice and personable. The cupcake selection was pretty decent. Chocolate for me and even non chocolate options for my boyfriend! I like how the cupcakes are mini, just means you get to try more :) so worth a try !!!

Stopped in for my first time today… I was a little disappointed with the lack of choices. They had no cake pops or large cupcakes and a limited variety of the mini cupcakes. I was also a little disappointed in the flavors. All were heavy flavors, no lighter flavors like the key lime, lemon or orange that the website advertises. I bought a dozen minis and they were good, some of the cake was a little on the dry side, but good. The owners were really friendly and nice. I’m not sure if I would go back without calling first to make sure they had more of a variety.

This is a cute little cupcake shop that just opened in Brookline on Capital Ave. The only problem I had was with the pricing, which is a little high. Other than that, the cupcakes are very good, and the pink boxes they use are so adorable, I kept one(I prevented Darren from throwing it out, I might need it for arts and crafts).

Le Cupcake Shoppe specializes in selling delectable, mini cupcakes($ 1 each or $ 10 per dozen).The owner, Alexandra, and her mother are fantastic and are truly vested in their small business. The little shop is cute, with pops of color throughout. I purchased a variety of mini cupcakes. Each were delicious, but the salted caramel stood out the most. Le Cupcake Shoppe is conveniently located on the south side of the Liberty Tunnel.

Note: CASHONLY! Last week, I spotted a new business on Capital Avenue, and at first glance it appeared to be an ice cream parlor. However, it turns out that someone decided to open a cupcake specialty bakery a few doors up the cobblestone road from the famously overrated Fiori’s Pizzeria, and the interiors are akin to a pink poodle; small and excruciatingly cute. Women will most likely love the place as well as the keen designs of the cupcakes themselves which range in size from regular to miniature. Le Cupcake Shoppe also sells cookies, cakes, and other assorted pastries, but aside from some cake pops that the person behind the counter(the owner?) threw in for free, they only had cupcakes for sale at the moment. I took home bountiful baker’s dozen of the micro cupcakes and a few of the normally-sized variety. They included the following: Red Velvet, S’more, Chocolate Potato Chip(!), Hot Chocolate, French Vanilla, and I cannot recall what the others were called at the moment. All of them were adorned with either a cream cheese icing or a buttercream. Some of the cake portions were a little on the dry side but most were up to the usual par of richness, and each of the icings of course made the cupcakes sing, hitting every sultry, velvety, dulcet note. The Hot Chocolate, my personal favorite of the batch, had a chocolate buttercream with sprinkles and a small marshmallow on top, evoking wintertime comfort personified, solidified. Although none of the others were duffers, an honorable mention must go to the expectedly brilliant salty/sweet smash-up of the winged Chocolate Potato Chip cupcakes. Aloft on golden wings of deep fried, ridged, mass-produced tuber, they fluttered into my beak like moths to a smoldering campfire after sunset. Cake Pops, like cupcakes themselves, are not typically something I crave, but the chocolate one had an irresistibly fudgy quality(was that fondant?) to it that had me wishing for more. Let’s pray to the confectionery gods that Le Cupcake Shoppe sticks to the neighborhood like their treats did to my palate.
