    Cupcake
    Rebecca K.

    I love this concept! Bite-sized cupcakes. After all, cupcakes can be messy. They come as few as a six pack and quantities increase. You can eat the cupcake in one bite! I sampled a chocolate one. Very rich and the icing was good. A guilt-free way to enjoy a sweet treat!

    Baked by Melissa treats are great for on the go. This is a great location at 2325 Broadway Upper West Side near places I visit. When I don't want to ruin my lunch I stop in here for one or two. I'm posting some of my favorite treats. I don't splurge with these very often. The owner/creator developed a one of a kind sweet. I hope she is successful keeping her numerous locations open. They do fit in with the take out trend. You can order on line and have them shipped too! That's my favorite way to purchase Baked by Melissa as gifts for my out of state friends! If you visit this location the employees are nice and knowledgeable. I've never had a problem with customer service if I get here early.

    Oh My Gluten Free Cupcakes (pack of 25)
    Cheryl P.

    I've seen these cupcakes around for what feels like forever and finally picked up a 25-pack ($46) for a recent special occasion:) The gluten-free version contains 6 flavors: birthday cake, caramel, cinnamon, tie-dye, red velvet, and triple chocolate. My favorites were probably the caramel and triple chocolate, which both had really tasty stuffing inside and the chocolate quinoa brittle had the perfect crunch. They're definitely bite-sized treats that are on the pricier end but my family definitely enjoyed how whimsical and cute these cupcakes were! The location on the UWS is pretty small but very clean and service was so friendly. I was able to order online and choose same-day pick-up, which was convenient. My only wish is that hopefully they can introduce a few more unique flavors in the gf pack once in a while :')

    I tried their mini cupcakes and honestly felt like it was wayyy too overpriced and definitely not worth the hype. The cupcakes are so tiny you can barely even taste the flavors in that one tiny bite. The cupcakes got really dry after being in the fridge for one night. The guy working there was super nice however and very helpful as well. It was my first time trying Baked by Melissa since I had been recommended to try it by many of my friends. I wasn't a fan of it.

    Stepped in for a quick Friday treat and the sales associate was very friendly and knowledge of all the cupcakes. They had so many flavors and I was unsure of what I wanted but she was patient and gave great descriptions of each one I inquired about. I ended up getting a cookies and cream, a rainbow, a red velvet, a purple kind that had a cookies and creme filling, a double chocolate fudge kind, and another flavor that I can't remember. They were all really good, very small and good for 1-2 bites, but you know this when you come to Melissa's. I saw they have ice cream by the pint and I wish they would start selling it by the scoop

    Mini cupcakes won't make you heavy :D

    While when I was in NYC 3 years ago, I tried the Carrie cupcake in Bleecker street, the famous Mongolia. This time I am impressed by the innovation done by Melissa. They halved the size of normal cupcakes. And the rate categories are rather reasonable: 3 in box for one person, or a 6 bigger box for two share. We always thought cupcakes are sugary mountain, somehow Melissa is changing that. At least I am not guilty for finishing 3 of them by myself!

    I was tired after a long day out and about, my feet hurt from walking, I was dehydrated and feeling a bit sluggish, needed a pick me up and BAM...saw "Baked by Melissa." My spirits rose quickly. When you walk in, you're greeted by the most upbeat chick. What I love about the space and concept is that it's clean. All white, with just the mini cupcakes on display. Makes sense, you want the center piece to be the product. The owner used to work in advertising so I'm glad some of her aesthetics transferred over. That's why places like this and froyo places do really well. Because everyone loves to eat in white spaces. There's a refreshing quality to a space that feels open, new and bright. As I've mentioned before, I'm not a huge cupcake girl, but I do love mini-things. Mini cokes, mini pencils, mini anything. The size of each cupcake, no joke, about the size of a quarter. So, you can just pop one in on the go. I bought 3 cupcakes for $3. Okay, the price is exorbitant, but for the novelty and the flavor options, it's worth it. You have to try it! I got 1) S'mores, 1) tie-dye vanilla and 1) orange creme. I killed all three cupcakes by the time I walked out of the store and got to the next block. Cheers!

    Perfect sized cupcakes

    if you are craving something sweet, check out this cute cupcake shop. They have bite sized cupcakes for sale. I love just having one-two bites of sweets and be done, so this is perfect for just that. All the flavors were awesome, and I had no complaints about them. I loved the way the tie-dye looked, but the taste was nothing special. Red velvet is always my favorite, perfectly moist with the tastiest cream cheese frosting on top. Chocolate chip pancake, actually did taste just as it sounds, that would probably be my favorite. I just checked their website, and they have chocolate dipped cupcakes now....My does that sound good. I need to go back to NYC and try one of those mini cupcakes again!

    Forgot to take a pic before I ate one -_-

So fun fact they are now advertising Banana Pudding Hot Chocolate and it is NOT actual hot chocolate but banana pudding made to taste like hot chocolate. Why I got so confused? I don't know! Maybe I have been watching too many videos about Tyra Banks Hot Ice Cream. Either way I appreciate the guys patience and kindness when explaining it to me twice especially because I did not end up ordering that at all (though it sounds interesting) but I did get the regular actual hot chocolate and it was amazing! It tasted like melted marshmallows were in it! Perfect for a cold winter day. In addition we got to the humming bird cake, a cupcake, and the regular banana pudding. My husband had never been here before so you know we had to get the banana pudding, it's their claim to fame. And it is decent. Growing up in North Carolina banana pudding is taken very seriously and is literally at every gathering. Would this be a contender for the cookout? Sure! I have no complaints about. The other baked items were delicious as well. The store is cute unfortunately this location has no indoor seating but plenty of outdoor. It was like negative degrees when we went so we definitely did not sit outside. All and all it's a cute bakery/ sweets shop. There are many locations through out the city. I've been to others and it is consistent. It's definitely not a bad dessert spot to try.

While the presentation was 10/10 across the board, the flavors ranged from "nostalgic perfection" to "a bit of a letdown." ​ ​Devil Dog (The Winner): This was by far my favorite. It was a trip down memory lane, perfectly capturing that nostalgic Hostess chocolate cupcake flavor I loved as a kid. ​Lemon Raspberry Meringue: Coming in a close second, this cupcake was bright, fruity, and incredibly fresh. It felt light and offered a great balance to the richer flavors in the box. ​Ube: This cupcake was stunning to look at. However, the flavor didn't quite live up to the exotic profile of a purple yam; it tasted like a traditional vanilla cupcake that just happened to be purple. Great for the aesthetic, but standard in taste. ​Hummingbird: This was the only real disappointment. I was expecting the signature tropical punch of pineapple, but it lacked that acidity. Instead, it felt more like a simple banana nut muffin with icing on top. ​Final Verdict: Overall, the experience was positive. The shop clearly has a talent for decor and nostalgia. I'd definitely return for the Devil Dog and the Lemon Raspberry, but I might skip the Hummingbird next time. Last Note: The woman working in the bakery was a bit rude and had an attitude and that alone will make me not com back no matter how good the cupcakes are.

I'd definitely return and recommend, though not the mini assorted as I feel the full size is better in terms of texture and flavor.

It was just a bit rich, had a soft texture inside, and had a very mild ube flavor with a bit of vanilla. The dessert was decent, but not strong enough of a ube flavor for me to buy it again. Much better was the Brookie I got the first time for $4.50 or so, listed as a blend of their Ooey Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookie Bar and Fudge Brownie. I was happy that the chocolate chip part was dark chocolate, and it wasn't overly sweet. Otherwise, it had a nice mix of textures, with some soft and crunchier parts. I liked it a lot more. The prices here are decent enough, and the quality isn't that bad. It's not a place I would go out of my way to go to, but it's nice to be nearby if I want to pick up a snack or something similar. I would probably try a slice of cake, or another bar such as their lemon or dream, next time.
