Discovered this hidden gem in Downtown Cincinnati during a stroll, and entering was one of the best decisions I ever made. This is a small shop, but with a nice variety of cupcakes. Flavours vary, but they are all consistently solid. Moist texture, bold flavour, these cupcakes are everything! The Red Velvet and the Banana pudding were my favourites. read more

Closed forty minutes early. Wanted a cupcake after work very disappointed. Wont be back.

Cupcakes were yummy! They didn't lose moisture when we put them in the fridge. The workers were not super friendly. Maybe because they were just opening but friendliness goes a long way at making lifetime customers. read more

Super moist and very tasty! Plus, they were kind and generous. The shop is also very cute and clean. read more

Abby Girl Sweets - Classic vanilla, Red Velvet, two Classic Chocolate cupcakes. - Cupcakes Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

If you're staying at the Hilton, this cute cupcake shop is right downstairs. The window display was quite enticing, so I decided to get some to bring back home with me and to support a local business. The one staff member working was very friendly and boxed up my four choices. I selected lemon, Samoa, cookies and cream, and sugar cookie. The box held them fairly well, but the box needs a bit sturdier support frame to keep them from tipping over. Overall, they were all very good! Quite moist cake and creamy smooth frosting (albeit a bit sweet). I'm not sure which was my favorite, but I think I liked the lemon best. Great lemon flavor in both the cake and icing. The Samoa also had an interesting flavor somewhat reminiscent of the Girl Scout cookie of the same name. Give this cute shop a try if you're in downtown Cincinnati and fancy some cupcakes!! read more

Great combination of flavors. $42 for a variety dozen. Plenty of options were still available even in the afternoon. Convenient parking isn't available but if you pull up next to the storefront and turn on your hazards, you can send someone in real quick to pick up the cupcakes without being penalized. read more

Tasty, sweet, moist cupcakes. The shop is small but cute and clean. The woman working there made some recommendations (after she put her phone down), so I got a cookies and cream cupcake. The cake was rich and chocolatey. The icing was sweet but not cloying. Price is on par with other cupcake shops at $3.75 per cupcakes. I wouldn't say the product stands out or is unique in any way (traditional size, traditional flavors, traditional deco style, no filling), but it's a solid cupcake when you're looking for a sweet treat. read more

Abby Girl Sweets - Cookies & Cream - Cupcakes Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Just left the Blue Ash location, the cashier was extremely rude, did not wear gloves while touching my cupcake order, placed it on the counter. When I asked her for another one to be placed directly in the container she did and then tossed my order at me. I just threw it away. read more

My partner pointed out the sticker on the door that read's, "People Live us on Yelp", so of course we had to stop in. I am serious that little sticker is what brought us in as I definitely didn't need a cupcake but so glad we did. We ran in and ended up grabbing two to go. Friendly little shop. The cupcakes were $3.50 each but noticed there is a discount for 4 & 6 boxes. We did a Double Trouble cupcake for the first pick. It was a chocolate cupcake with a vanilla cream filling, dipped in Chocolate with a vanilla icing swizzle on top. Well that is what I am calling it. It was similar to a hostess. The second cupcake was a Carrot Spice cupcake with cream cheese icing with a pecan on top. This was my favorite. It was so good. Such a cute little find this trip and so glad we didn't pass it by. Thank you to whomever at Yelp but that sticker on the door! It got us in the door! read more

I was in search of a local dessert shop when Google led me to Abby Girl Sweets. They offer both cupcakes and cheesecakes, so it was perfect. It's cheaper to get a box of four than it is to get a single cupcake, so we went that route. There's several flavors, which made it super hard to choose, but I eventually selected the lemon-licious and strawberry delight. Never have I ever eaten such a soft and moist cupcake! Wow, was I blown away! The lemon was the star of the two, but they were both ridiculously good. A generous amount of icing was on each, but not too much to be overwhelming. They peeled so nicely from the liner and were hefty! Just one was enough to hold me over for a while. We didn't get the cheesecakes, but I'm positive they are just as amazing. It's a tiny little shop and the woman was very helpful in describing each cupcake. Highly recommend!! read more

Abby Girl Sweets - Lemon-licious, Banana Pudding, Strawberry Delight, and Buckeye - Cupcakes Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

We visited the Abby Girl Sweets location downtown. When you walk in the door you're greeted by the aroma of fresh baked cupcakes. Parking is definitely an issue, but that can't be helped by the business. I had a coconut cupcake. The crumb was tender, there were vanilla bean flecks throughout, and the icing was sweet but not overly so. The single cupcakes come in a cute little container that's sure to protect it until you eat it-if you can stand to wait! read more

these were disgusting, made worse by the cost $7 a cupcake. the frosting is minimal and I think this is what makes a great cupcake. I had lemon which tasted only of sugar no lemon, black raspberry...no raspberry taste just a purple frosting to distinguish it from the lemon, peanut butter, and vanilla. you couldn't have told one from the-other with your eyes closed. Im not sure they actually have butter cream frosting cause it doesn't taste at all like it. I used to go there when they first opened many years ago and I swear they were better. I'll never order again...I think Gigi's is much better read more

Best cupcakes in Cincinnati. Period. I've tried their Red velvet, Carrot cake and Double Trouble (I guess that's the name, it is a chocolate one), and they all floored me! The cupcakes have buttercream or cream cheese icing only, which is awesome because I don't like the whipped cream ones. This makes the icing so rich and the cupcake decadent. Carrot cake was probably my favorite. I don't find good carrot cake desserts generally- this was awesome. Also, yes, the icing-cupcake ratio is perfect. It isn't overtly, annoyingly sweet, which I appreciate. read more

Abby girl sweets has been one of the best finds in Cincinnati so far! While looking for a small cake we came across Abby Girl & even though they were cupcakes - decided to try it out. I have to say we were delighted with how delicious & well though out each cupcake was. My boyfriend regularly brings up the coconut cupcake he had from there, I personally loved the white chocolate raspberry & banana cupcakes I had! We will be back to Abby Girl sweets! read more

I purchased two cupcakes today. I paid for them with a $20. and received change as if I had paid with a $10. I had just purchased lunch at the Barbecue and counted my money and I only had 4 $20. bills left. Two fives, 4 twenties and 3 dollar bills. The sales girl was a little abrupt and insisted that I had given her a 10. I did not have a ten to give her. read more

So good. The cupcakes here are fantastic. All of the cupcakes are beautiful, but equally delicious. A lot of bakeries have stunning cupcakes and the taste doesn't measure up but not here. These are delicious, not dry, and have many flavors. The employees here are so friendly and I love the variety of cupcakes offered. Great bakery to try for cupcakes. Came here based on some reviews on Yelp and online without hearing about it from anyone and am so glad I tried it out. Craving cupcakes or need a sweet gift, this is the spot. read more

Abby Girl Sweets - a dozen cupcakes in a box - Cupcakes Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Always one of my first stops in Cincinnati. My favorite is lemon...filled with lemon and oh so good. I have to admit I remove half the frosting because it is sweet My next favorite resembles a Hostess cupcake with white filling, chocolate ganace icing with that white squiggle across the top. Perfect in every way. I also enjoy coconut, banana cream and every other I've ever tried. And for the quality the price is right. I'll be back...and I can't wait. read more

I just happened to see this place on the way to Carew Tower during our weekend stay in Cincinnati. I had to go back the next day to try one of these cupcakes. I had the Banana Pudding cupcake which was deliciously moist and had a banana pudding filling. The consistency of the cake was very different. More of a sponge cake, which I kind of like. I've had better frosting on a banana cupcake, but the ratio of frosting to cake was very good. The frosting didn't overpower the cupcake. I would definitely go back to try more flavors if I'm ever in Cincy again. Highly recommended if you're staying anywhere near the Hilton Netherland Plaza. read more

Abby Girl Sweets - Deliciously moist banana pudding cupcake - Cupcakes Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

The best cupcakes I've ever had. One of places I really miss from Cincinnati. I remember someone got them for someone's birthday party. I had had them nor even heard of Abby's before that day. One bite and I was hooked! This a very cute lil shop located right downtown. I've been many times, and the store is always clean, and the presentation of the cupcakes at the shop, make them look soooooo scrumptious! My favorite is red velvet. Others favorites of mine are banana pudding, cookies and cream, and strawberry. Those are my go to ones, but I've never had a bad cupcake from there before. Prices are a bit on the high end, especially the fact that it's a cupcake. Don't let the prices deter you though. You'll forget what you paid after you have a bite of these delicious cupcakes! read more

Ah-mazing cupcakes! Best I've ever had! They aren't just sweet, they have a lot of flavor. And incredibly moist. Never met an Abby Girl cupcake I didn't love. read more

Literally, truly iconic. The most tastiest and moist cupcakes I've ever had. Like my tastebuds have never been blessed like that. The sugar there had my dopamine and serotonin levels WILD!! I got a box worth with several of their signature cupcakes. The lemon one, superb (I even didnt mind the lemon filling which was a surprise; not a huge fan of sweets filled with jelly or whatever). The strawberry blast, majestic. The Cinnabon, delightful. The one that takes the (cup)cake by far was the Sugar Cookie one. Which is adorned with a sugar cookie square piped with a rose petal frosting on top. I had to set a dentist appointment asap because they know what they're doing. Still, it's worth it. read more

I'm kind of amazed that I haven't tried Abby Girl's sooner. It's pink and girly and serves up one of my favorite sweet treats, the cupcake. We stumbled across here on our way back to the parking garage. Again, it's super pink and adorable and every fiber of your being will insist on stepping inside. So we did. New Year's resolutions be damned. It is clearly intended to be a catering or take-out type place, since it is a tiny space with only two four-top tables. I'm embarrassingly familiar with the franchise-type cupcakeries (Gigi's, Caramanda's, Sprinkles), and the ones made at Abby Girl Sweets are just as beautifully decorated and presented as any I've seen. In the mood for chocolate (is there ever any other mood?), we both ordered a Double Trouble Cupcake, which basically is the Hostess cupcake's hot handmade twin. Except, instead of a dry manufactured cupcake splurted with a blob of tasteless hydrogenated filling and a plastic-y chocolate icing, Abby's is a deliciously moist chocolate cake with that unmistakable homemade flavor and flat-tish top (trust me, real homemade chocolate cupcakes aren't pretty until you swirl frosting on them). The Double Trouble had a delightful creamy filling, a rich, still-soft chocolate ganache and a fun little white icing twirly on top. It was a delicious cupcake and we loved it. I almost ate the paper liner, I was trying to scrape off every moistly clinging crumb. I would strongly recommend trying one of AG's little delicious cakes. I've read where people complain that the cupcakes are too expensive, but I don't think $2.75 for a lovely little dessert or mid-day treat is expensive at all. As a home baker, I will be the first to say that good, quality ingredients (e.g., pure vanilla, quality chocolate, real butter, etc.) are NOT cheap. Try baking a batch of cupcakes at home and making them pretty and buying cute liners and tempering chocolate for ganache and you will be OK with paying $2.75 for a cupcake. read more

Located inside the Carew Tower / Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza is a small cupcake shop with an entrance inside the hotel and at street level. While staying at the hotel I passed by several times and decided to stop in to grab a sweet treat for later that evening, I was greeted by a friendly woman who was putting away some of the cupcakes (it was closing time) however she offered to get the cupcakes out to show and was very excited to share some background on the baking process. Prices were very reasonable, and the service was excellent. As far as the cupcakes go I opted for a Peanut Butter Cup & Salty Carmel, both of which were delicious. The cake is moist and delicious, and the icing was used sparingly (just enough to give it a perfect combination of the two flavors. I was shocked that neither the cake or icing overpowered the other. These cupcakes were top notch, and I highly recommend you stop reading this review and try them! read more

I was parked outside the Hilton Netherlands yesterday and I spotted this small cupcake shop. I said yes then no, then yes, then no and finally gave into temptation. WOW! Delicious.... Frosting was sweet and creamy and the cake was (moist) sorry, it's a good adjective for cake!! Just what you'd expect from a stand alone cupcake shop. I ordered 6 Strawberry Creme Salted Caramel Oreo Cookie Red Velvet Peanut Butter Cup Carrot Cake Service was great, I'll definitely return for a delicious sweet treat! read more

I'm not a cupcake connoisseur, but what I can tell you is that I know i) cupcakes are supposed to taste good and ii) my wife, as it seems most women do, love cupcakes. Abby's cupcakes taste more than just good - they are phenomenal, and my wife is now Abby's biggest fan, which means I now have a new go-to when I'm in the dog house. I visited Abby Girl recently and my wife lit up like a Christmas tree upon walking into the store - she was like a kid on Christmas. In looking at the cases, there was at least a dozen flavors, some traditional, some unique. When we ordered our half dozen cupcakes to go (4 for us, 2 to give away), the staff was very helpful on providing tips on how to manage our cupcakes in the event we were walking a long distance (it was roasting hot that day) and even offered to hold the cupcakes for us while we continued shopping around downtown. We got the cupcakes home that evening with every intent on eating just one each between my wife and me. However, our attempts proved futile. Before we knew it, all four of our cupcakes were gone in one evening (we gave the other 2 away). I can't speak for the bakery nuts out there that know cupcakes inside and out, but I can speak for the guy or gal that has a novice level understanding - if you want to impress some body or some group of people with something sweet, look no further than Abby Girl's cupcakes. read more

What I like about Abby Girl cupcakes are the right amount of frosting or icing. It's smooth and melts in your mouth kinda experience. Cupcakes are moist and not too sweet. I must have tried almost all chocolate cupcakes they have in the store. Best on my list would be the double chocolate cupcake, choco chip and the strawberry covered chocolate which I missed to photograph. It was that good I forget I had to share my experience with you. Good thing I had some extra double chocolate and choco chip cupcakes to photograph. I have to give 4stars because there's no other cupcake place around that I know of... and it's locally owned. I love to support independent businesses. read more

AbbyGirlSweets is now located on Fifth St in Downtown Cincinnati, same building as the Hilton Netherland Plaza (street level). They make "every batch from scratch." I stopped by this shop before I went to the airport. When I walked in the place smelled yummy and they had about 10 flavors to choose from. I chose 5 different ones to take with me and was advised which ones will be good to take with me. I really wanted to bring the red velvet cupcake but was told it's good for the next 3-4 hours if it's not refrigerated (because of the cream topping). They helped me choose the flavors that would be okay for my 4-hr flight. I still got the red velvet as my snack :) The cupcake was moist and the icing was nice and light. My hubby actually called them when it was already after hours and he spoke to Andrea. He said that she was very nice and patient with answering his questions. The next time I go to Cincinnati, I will definitely come back here again. read more

Working downtown, my bus would pass this on my way home everyday. Finally, my husband came down for lunch one day and we wandered on over and picked up our first amazing cupcakes, a double trouble (a chocolate cupcake dipped in chocolate ganache with buttercream frosting and a buttercream center) and a key lime cupcake (a vanilla cupcake with key lime frosting and a key lime filling). We fell in love. The cake was moist - not dry - and tasted delicious. The filling was just a wonderful surprise, and the icing was perfect. We fell in love immediately. I think we knew from our first bite that this would be our cake/cupcakes for our wedding, even if we would go around and try a bunch of other places just in case. Their cupcakes are always amazing. They have great special flavors that come up every now and then that you just must try. And their normals are always good - I enjoy the cincy creme a lot. We did end up going with Abby Girl as our wedding cupcakery. They did an amazing job. We did three different cupcakes - double trouble, key lime, and lemon-licious. We set up the date pretty early, and the girl who I think owns it (Andrea - she was who I talked to at least) was really great to work with. She made sure everything was perfect and went right. The cupcakes were beautiful, and when they were delivered, they worked hard to try and work with our caterer to get them on trays. Our caterer didn't have the right kind, so Abby Girl let us rent their carriers then and there, which worked out perfect. They helped us set up our crazy cupcake chandelier too - which was a work of making sure it was all balanced correctly. The cupcakes were delicious, moist, and beautiful. Everyone loved them - and I still get comments on my Facebook wall about them. I think they were everyone's favorite part of the night. Love, love, love this place. read more

After a rather disappointing lunch in Mt. Adams, my husband and I ventured downtown looking for a sweet treat. Abby Girl Sweets did the trick. We shared a Strawberry Blast, which is a strawberry cupcake, with bits of real strawberry in the sponge, topped with strawberry buttercream icing, and a Peanut Butter Cup, which is a chocolate cupcake topped with peanut butter icing and a miniature peanut butter cup candy. Both were outstanding; in fact, I'm not really such which was better! The sponges were incredibly moist. The bits of strawberry in the Strawberry Blast and the icing that reminded me of peanut butter fudge on the Peanut Butter Cup made both cupcakes over-the-top delicious. Thank you, Abby Girl Sweets, for saving the afternoon! There are two things that got in the way of a five star review. First, the location on Fifth Street is difficult to get to unless you happen to be walking by the shop. Second, for the price, the cupcakes were rather small. read more

Who knew that cupcakes could be gourmet? Abby Girl is a small shop near Fountain Square that specializes in one thing: cupcakes. These 3-inch treats come in a variety of flavors such as strawberry, mocha, cookies & cream, peanut butter, and cheesecake. Then each cake is topped off with a unique flavorful icing. I really enjoyed a strawberry cupcake with chocolate icing; the chocolate cupcake topped with peanut butter icing was delicious as well. These cupcakes are quite the treat after lunch or by the dozen for an office party. The cupcakes are a bit pricey: $2.75 each. The only downside to Abby Girl is that it's difficult to find a parking spot nearby. There aren't spaces near Fountain Square, and I'm certainly not paying $3.00 to park in the garage to run in and get a $2.75 cupcake. Would love to see this place stock their baked goods in suburban restaurants around town! read more

The women that work here are always friendly and the packaging is great too. My only wish is that they create a frequent buyer/loyalty card (buy 5 or 10 cupcakes get one free) because it is pretty pricy--but worth it! read more
