La Luna Cupcakes

Elvia was SO easy to work with and super accommodating! I had custom cakepops made for my boyfriend’s bday and they looked amazing (exactly how I had asked) and more than that, they were delicious! People wanted more than one! Would definitely go here again for any special occasion!

Customer service was on point (thank you to the gentleman holding down the fort today– he was the only one in there from what I could tell) and the cupcakes tasted great.
The regular size cupcake was about $ 3.30 (I can’t remember exactly) which isn’t bad compared to other places in the area —this is the FIDI after all.
I will be coming back.

My co-​workers & I decided to treat ourselves (treat yoself) and get a cupcake after lunch. The pretty cupcakes in this shop lured us in and we were oohing and ahhing over the different treats while waiting in line. After what seemed like an eternity it was our turn. The clerk was pleasant, but his communication was limited & as greedy new customers we had a few questions. He had other customers so he indicated that someone else would come to help us. About 5 minutes later another employee emerged from the back. It seems her shorts were already royally bunched because she came out of the gate with major ‘tude. «What is the frosting on this one?», «it is the frosting»…mmkay. We settled on a few mini cupcakes and they were alright — nothing to bust your diet for. The frosting was better than the actual cupcake, but again both mediocre at best.

La Luna might be why my jeans don’t fit… I spent almost a year attending school nearby and ended lunch with a cupcake way too many times. The people who work there are the sweetest, especially the man… he’s such a happy, genuinely positive guy that it’s impossible to be in a bad mood around him. The cupcakes are absolutely delicious– I don’t recommend the vanilla, but the Tres Leches, Chocolate, Cookies and Cream, and Carrot Cake are all ridiculously good. This is still the first place I head when I’m spending the day in the city. Love!

A cute little shop with decent cupcakes… Strawberry frosting taste pretty fresh and the service is excellent.

AVERAGE cupcakes. BRING CASH, or you would be charged an $ 0.85 cent charge for using your card. NO APPLE PAY either! #FirstWorldProblems
The cupcake itself without the frosting is very plain (think Wonder Bread). The frosting is good though. But, honestly, I would NOT come here again. The staff was pretty friendly though. Even though the place is cute, it was empty when I went in during lunch hour. Overall, this place is meh…

I used La Luna because our firm works with a number of La Cocina incubated shops. I am always happy, but today I was in heaven.
These cupcakes are amazing. I ate three different ones myself, each better than the last. The strawberry was everything good about strawberry cake. The Tres Leches was smooth and moist, but not messy or hard to eat — and the oreo minis, I mean, come on, right? Their frosting is light and not overwhelming, and this from someone who usually dumps all frosting in the trash and just east the cake parts.
The ordering process for our baby shower work event was easy, cupcakes were ready on time, and the staff was friendly and helpful.
I will be getting only the strawberry (my fav) for my birthday. This is 100% my new go-​to cupcake shop! Thanks so much! You made the mom-​to-​be feel very special, and me (the host) happy as can be!

Holy melt in your mouth and not too sweet goodness. I came by here with a colleague after seeing the shop. While we already had sweets in hand, I said I would come back the following day and I am so glad I did. I tried the mint chocolate cupcake and my god, the cake itself is so moist. Often, the cream on top is too sweet for me but this was the perfect amount. Give it a try. :)

Tried a variety of cupcakes here and like they 3 star rating category– its «A-​OK». I think their most unique flavor is the tres leches cupcakes, which would be the only flavor I’d get more than once. The Napoleon cupcake cake was so sweet itself that you can hardly taste the strawberry frosting!
Price is pretty high PER cupcake– a regular sized tres leches cupcake costs me about $ 4.50!
Staff doesn’t seem too friendly OR knowledgeable. They didn’t tell me about the cupcake flavors that were available, but not on display nor did they seem to know the answer when I simply asked for the cupcake topper’s price.
Overall, standard good (ish) cupcakes and probably not worth the price tag.

…I don’t think I’ve ever had such a positive reaction to frosting. Ever. I just wanted to start with that, because I found that I was eating the frosting first. And to think I was going to scrape it off with a spoon…
Anyway, I went here after a surprisingly pleasant trip to the post office. I didn’t really deserve a cupcake, but… they looked so beautiful, and I thought… you only live once, and there should be a cupcake for every day of –
But I digress. I got a chocolate-​vanilla cupcake and it was pretty tasty. It might’ve been the one that I picked up, but the cake itself could have stood to be a little more moist. It was a bit crumby, but… the frosting. The frosting was so good. It had this wonderful, light texture that I enjoyed immensely, kind of like having a delicious melted-​esque marshmallow that’s light and fluffy and… kinda like whipped cream. I dunno. Look, that’s the thing that really stood out to me on that cupcake, and it was all I thought about on the way to work, budgeting when my diet would allow me another cupcake from this place.
Plus, the service was lovely. No one was there when I came in, but I didn’t notice right away since I was admiring the handiwork of the cupcake decorating. When the gentleman came out, he was the most jovial person ever and was so accommodating. I must say, he certainly has the spirit of a cupcake, if cupcakes had spirit.
I’d personally go back just for the frosting on the cake and the great service. The cupcake was tasty albeit needing a little more moisture, but according to some of the other reviews, the Tres Leches is where it’s at in terms of a good, moist, flavorful cake. I don’t doubt that and I’m all for heading back there.

This is a beautiful little cupcake and more shop. They make cake pops, serve coffee or tea, yogurt, and do beautiful custom designs.
Jesus, who was helping me was super helpful and attentive. I got to sample the cookies, I bought the coconut cupcake and a chocolate one for my friend.
He gave me the logo they made it for the Warriors team recently too!

The Red Velvet was very good. Moist and not too sweet. I can’t decide whether to get the Tres Leches or the Oreo and the owner gave me the Tres Leches for free! Sweet!!!
I will definitely come back.

Best tres leches cupcake I’ve ever had!
My fiancé always knows how to surprise me with the best treats. He exposed me to these delectable, delightful cupcakes a few years ago. And they never let me down.
Whenever he brings me home a tres leches cupcake from here, I swoon!!! Ahhhhhhhh! These cakes are little clouds from heaven. Unbelievably moist, tender cake, succulent milky texture and light fluffy whipped cream. Perfect sweetness. Not sugary. Just right.

3.5
The cupcakes here are super cute!!! buve tried the coconut and carrot cake so far. The owner is very helpful & really nice. The first time I came here was with my supervisor. We bought 5 & he told us he would throw in another for free.
The coconut one was very tasty. I love the flavor of coconut so I wish there was a bigger taste to it. The cake batter itself was semi-​moist, but definitely could’ve been better.
The carrot cake was actually better than the coconut cupcake. It had actual carrot in it and I absolutely loved the cream cheese frosting. It was the perfect sweetness. I want carrot cake now that I’m talking about it… The strawberry one looked really yummy. We bought the last big one.
I like their concept of having a mini and a regular size cupcake for each flavor. Perfect for people to try out what they like before knowing to buy a full size cupcake.
This is a place I would come back to if I was in the area, but would not go out of my way to get here.

Had lunch at the Galleria and thought I’d get the office mates an afternoon snack so I stopped in La Luna to do the good deed.
Cute shop and I liked how the cupcakes were all nicely displayed. I just got a dozen of the mini cupcakes which were only $ 1.50 per, which was not too bad. I got a mix of whatever they had ranging from vanilla, coconut, chocolate, cookies & cream, just to name a few.
The guy that helped me out was so kind and delicately handled each cupcake into the box like it was a fragile work of art.
When I got back to work, the office mates seemed to like it (or were just saying it) but I had a vanilla cupcake and thought it was a little dry. The frosting however was really good. However, I also tried the chocolate cupcake and it was moist, but I didn’t like the frosting!
Overall, nice Mom & Pop spot to get some non pretentious cupcakes.

We were having happy hour for a girlfriend’s birthday and someone brought cupcakes from La Luna.
I ended up trying the Sunny vanilla: rich vanilla cake with vanilla frosting. The frosting was light and creamy, but the cake was a little dry. I ended up only eating about half of it. It did have great vanilla flavor, but the frosting wasn’t enough to cut into the dryness of every bite.
My girlfriends ate the Mars red velvet & Asteroid cookies & cream and enjoyed them. They finished the entire cupcake.
Maybe it’s just me, but I thought the cupcakes were okay. Could have had more moisture. I wouldn’t mind coming back to try the Tres leches. Everyone seems to rave about that cupcake. Next time!

Friendly service and great cupcakes! I went over and the owner/​chef (?) was decorating beautiful looking cake pops. He even offered to do a custom decoration for me. I decided to go for a red velvet mini and it was delicious — moist and great cream cheese frosting. It only costed $ 1.50 and perfect size. Next time I will be over to get more and for that pour-​over coffee too.

The cupcakes are not dry but I wouldn’t say they are moist, the crumb is a little tough and crumbly (thats pastry talk) and I was not a fan of their frosting. The frosting on the Hot Chocolate cupcake was just a whipped cream with very little sugar and no flavoring (like vanilla) in it. I could appreciate the lightness and it was apprope for the topping on a «hot chocolate» confection, but aside from this what else makes this cupcake «hot chocolate» flavored? Nothin… I found it pretty boring TBH.
The vanilla-​chocolate cupcake is a combo I typically dig– deep choclate cake and buttery rich vanilla icing. This one was vanilla/​chocoalte swirled cake as well as icing. The cake was OK, did not scream chocolate or vanilla in particular, the frosting tasted like it was a decent chocolate ganache, dampened by a blah vanilla buttercream. It YEARNED for a pinch of salt! I’m not talking about how everybody wants salted caramel this and sea salted that I just mean toss a pinch of salt in dat frosting yo!
I fear I shan’t be back :””(
I really want to find out if Batter Bakery srsly has cupcakes. I’ve read it on Unilocal but where the heck are they in that lil phone booth?!? I don’t want to just be like «one cupcake please» all matter of fact, what if they dont have any and then I just look like a FOOL!!!

I bought a dozen hot cocoa cupcakes. It was beautifully decorated. Chocolate with marshmallows on top of a chocolate cupcake. Cake was moist and yummy. The clerk was friendly and helped me store the cupcakes in a box.
He even threw in a mini cupcake for me to sample!

$ 3.50 for a regular size cupcake. $ 1.50 for a tiny one.
Looking from the outside and walking in, you could see all the pretty little cupcakes and cake pops they have on display. Everything looks so yummy and delicious that you wouldn’t want to touch it. Personally, I think the small ones are a little pricey but sometimes, you just want a taste and not waste a giant one.
Had a taste of the mini chocolate cupcake. It was definitely very chocolatey. The frosting tasted a little bit powdery in my opinion. It was still yummy. Cupcake was moist (a little longer, it would have been dry).
Giving it 3 stars for now. I want to try the other ones there before I can claim to be a fan :)

After taking my hubbles to Crocker Galleria today, my sweettooth was acting up and I was in the mood for cuppycakes.
How convenient of this place to be right next to the dang chessboard. After having lunch at the Fountain Café and spending a good 15 minutes watching the hubs play chess again, i decided to stop in and check this place out.
It’s a pretty spacious little cupcake store with about two small tables and one long table by the front for sitting, if not the outdoor seating area. The cupcakes are neatly stacked in separate circular trays and come in two different sizes. There are about 8 flavors: vanilla, cookies&cream, chocolate, red velvet, lemon, gluten-​free carrotcake, coconut, and their most popular tres leches. Thw mini cupcakes are $ 1.50 each and the bigger cupcakes are $ 3.50 each.
The man working the counter was so nice. He must’ve figured that it was our first time, so he let us sample the tres leches mini cupcake for free. It was really decadent with the frosting, and when you bite into it more you get the leches which is muy bueno for me!
We bought 4 mini cupcakea for $ 6.
— Vanilla: tasted like a standars vanilla cupcake from Luckys or any other supermarket store. Frosting was thick, but cake was vanilla moist.
— Cookies&Cream: dont hurt me, but I am not the biggest fan of chocolate. So i didnt fancy this one so much. The cake was super chocolatey and sweet. A bit too sweet for my palate, but the hubz liked it.
— Red velvet: i LOVE red velvet, so this one was a plus for me. Cream cheese frosting had a tartness that mixed well with the red velvet cake. Moist cake + whipped frosting = yummies.
— Tres Leches: This one was my favorite, hands down. Cake was soft and moist and it didnt crumble even thougg there was some milk there. The frosting was sweet but it wasnt too thick or soggy.
They have cakepops here for $ 2 i believe. You can do combos here and each are $ 5.
— Soda + cupcake =$ 5
— Coffee + cupcake =$ 5
— Yogurt + cupcake =$ 5
Overall a nice experience. I’d come back to try the others one day heh.
Big thanks to Albertino M. for the tres leches suggestion again! :)
