The vibe in here is very "small business" (things aren't quite as shiny as they could be), but the theme is on point: pink and gold through every inch of the place. If you wanted to buy their delicious treats and get good Instagram photos, the entire place is a goldmine. (Y'know, in addition to having great places to sit to enjoy your treats.) Their S'mores cookie was downright perfection, and I'm sad I didn't get to try more of their treats. Parking is a bit of a pain around here, so I'd probably stop in as a pitstop while at other nearby businesses. This place is really centrally located, so it's easy to pop in after dinner for a dessert to enjoy later. (That's what I did!) read more

A friend and I stopped by after grabbing brunch around the corner. The service was okay and the inside has cute decor. I had the strawberry shortcake while my friend had the blue velvet cupcake. The cupcakes were good as they were soft and had a good texture. I would go here again as it was a good cupcake. They have so many flavors to choose from so I would like to try something new. read more

I bought cupcakes for a birthday while in town. I needed to order a couple dozen, 2 days before I walked over and asked if I can place an order for a pick up in 2 days. They told me that I had to place orders online. I went online that night and the next day, they're website said "Not Taking Orders". So I decided to pick up the day of as they opened. Everyone enjoyed the cupcakes but the 4 out of 5 is for being told to order online when you can't. read more

Colossal Cupcakes - Bakeries Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Ugh, I hate doing this. I never like to "dis" a bakery, much less a bakery located in the Midwest Slum we call downtown Cleveland. First, God bless the entrepreneur who took a chance with a great idea. Cupcake places are all the rage in Chicago, from whence I came after moving out of Cleveland 30 years ago. This place really needs some tweaking. They have potential. I purchased a chocolate cupcake with vanilla buttercream frosting. The Good: The buttercream is real buttercream and was good... above average. God bless them for keeping up the old Downtown Cleveland vibe as the entire city decays into nothingness. The Bad: The cupcake was a f-ing $7.50!!!! For one cupcake!!! Seriously? It was slightly larger than a regular cupcake, but not worth $4 over what I pay for a cupcake in Chicago at several different bakeries. The Ugly: Frankly, the cupcake was slightly dry. Not completely, but dry. There wasn't nearly enough frosting for the size of the cupcake and its cost. It was very disproportionate. Overall, I wouldn't go back. Sorry. I hate to say this. I want to support places like this, God bless 'em. But I can't spend that kind of money on a subpar experience. read more

I was excited to try these cupcakes. I visited early afternoon Saturday. Was expecting a moist fresh cupcake. First of all they are not worth $7.50, I ordered 2 different kinds and was highly disappointed. Both of them were so dry and stale. The icing is good but couldn't eat them because they were very dry even with the icing. Definitely not worth what they cost! read more

Cupcakes were not good and they were extremely expensive. Don't waste your time, money or calories! They look nice but they were dry and frosting was not flavorful (way too sugary). Fine if you need a quick sweet fix but I'd try to find somewhere else for dessert. read more

Probably one of the nastiest and driest cupcakes I've ever had. The cupcake itself was served chilled (was it previously frozen?) and lacked any flavor. $7.50 for one cupcake is outlandish for something I could have gotten at a gas station. read more

Colossal Cupcakes - Bad Dozen Box Colossal Cupcakes - You Pick - Bakeries Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Utterly disgusting. Woman at counter couldn't even stay off her phone. My boyfriend ordered the chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting and sprinkles on it, and I ordered the Cinnamon Toast Crunch cupcake. The cupcakes were dry and the frosting was DISGUSTING. I had to pick the Cinnamon Toast Crunch off my cupcake because it was so old tasting and it tasted like it had been left out for days. Don't come here, it's overpriced and not worth the money. read more

Colossal Cupcakes - This is the frosting, the frosting was worse than the cupcake itself. It came off in a giant chunk very easily - Bakeries Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Absolutely not worth it. I went and was hesitant to begin with because $7.50 for a cupcake is INSANE. This place makes crumbl seem cheap. I went ahead and along with my cousin bought four of them to try. Safe to say they were disgusting. They were extremely dry and the frosting really could've been better. Zero balance. Just sweet cardboard topped with mediocre sludge. Do yourself and go to your local grocery store and buy a party pack for $5. You'll be way happier and your pockets will thank you. It's sad because the idea and the vision is there but the execution is truly pathetic. read more

Yelp led us to this dessert spot in downtown Cleveland. We were at the Drury Inn and this was a quick walk. Colossal Cupcakes offers cupcakes, cookies, macarons, ice cream, shakes and various drinks. The brightly colored space has plenty of seating if you'd prefer to enjoy your dessert there. We enjoyed a variety of items. While I didn't think anything was more unique in flavor than other spots, I did appreciate how many cupcake flavors were in the case and they were huge! Items seemed fresh too. Areas not as stellar - only chocolate soft serve was available and it didn't seem ready for customers. Very melted in the waffle cone and I'd rather we were told it needed more time to sit before serving. Staffing was low with only one person serving customers and because extra hands weren't available the seating area felt dirty. Fun concept and worth a visit; however, nothing stood out to crave a return visit. read more

The cupcakes were beautiful. The place smelled Devine. The cupcakes were $7.50 each. One had great expectations. We got one snicker doodle and one chocolate cream cheese. OMG. What dry crumbled cakes and disappointing icing! I did not have any milk, so I only ate 3 bites! They were both stale. A tasty cake cupcake is a thousand times better. They should be arrested for calling them cupcakes. read more

The cupcakes are undeniably beautiful, with creative flavors and towering frosting. The staff are friendly and helpful to guide you through various frosting g types and flavors. The cupcakes are on the pricey side. Their interior decor begs to have you linger and enjoy the numerous tastes. Colossal Cupcakes is a fun and unique bakery with some delicious-looking cupcakes. If you're looking for a special occasion cupcake or just want to try something different, Colossal Cupcakes is worth a visit. read more

Disgusting service!! My daughter and I came in today and the woman working did not even greet us or acknowledge that we were there. I understand if you're having a bad day but don't put it on your costumers who keep the place running. She had a nasty look on her face a did not even worry about the fact she smashed the cupcakes while putting them in the containers. I paid $15 for 2 cupcakes and didn't even get a smile. Do better at training your staff. read more

One cupcake cost me $7.50, which is extraordinarily expensive. Even worse, the frosting was so cold it was solid, and just about slid off the cupcake entirely when I bit into it. The cake itself was basic box stuff. The flavor (lemon) was fine but it left me with a refrigerated-tasting aftertaste. The store's lighting is sad and it looks disheveled behind the counter. Not a good experience. read more

Colossal Cupcakes - Not worth $7.50 - Bakeries Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

3 out of 5 star reviews must've been made by folks SMOKING CRACK! This place is OFF THE CHAIN! Name me ONE bakery in COLUMBUS, OH open until 11pm? I'll wait....YOU CANT! Columbus is constantly trying to shed their "COWTOWN" docile, close early, nothing to do label yet they do EVERYTHING to fulfill these stereotypes. Besides crime COLUMBUS is conservative, docile, bars clubs food vendors close early and there's nothing to do past 10pm except go to Hollywood Casino or some lame strip club with oblong shaped dancers. Excuse my digression but back to this review. I walk up in this spot at like 10:30 pm and they have like 60 cupcakes up and available to choose from, dozens of cookies, brownies, and fudge and candy as well. These cupcakes are colossal! They run about $6.50 a piece. I chose the Oreo Cheesecake. It was very tasty. I asked the worker there what was her favorite and she said the Fruity Pebbles which was decadent, moist, colorful, and quite memorable. I also chose the Thin Mint Chocolate Chip. I assumed this would be my favorite of them all but it wasn't because the taste composition was too memorable in a good way. We've ordered several cakes from a spot in Indiana called the CAKE BAKE SHOP and they've got a cake called Oprah's 'O' List Mint Chocolate Chip Cake and the Thin Mint cupcake from Colossal Cupcakes kinda tastes exactly like that cake. The Oprah Cake is the favorite cake from that place that we order the most and because of that and the familiarity with its taste this was our least favorite cupcake. Again the cupcake is awesome if you've never had it before but if you've kinda tasted it from somewhere else several times before then your palate will be used to it. Hopefully this make sense. Last but not least the young ladies working in this establishment were drop dead gorgeous. They clearly missed their calling as instead of baking cupcakes they should've been models. NO CAP! read more

I received an English toffe fudge cupcake from my niece. Colossal cupcakes lives up to its name! It was large enough for my husband and I to split and was plenty for both of us. We both enjoyed the large dollop of buttercream with those great chunks of toffee. Inside was a fudge filling that was really delicious. The part of the cupcake that didn't contain the filling was dry though and didn't have much flavor. But, overall, I really enjoyed it and can't wait to go in person and sample some more. read more

Yum. Just, yum. The decor is adorable and the staff was helpful (and patient while we spend forever looking over the huge selection of cupcakes, lol). The cupcakes themselves were delicious -- we got a lemon raspberry cupcake and a lucky charms cupcake. Both were soooooo good. And both had surprise filling in the middle! Definitely recommend stopping by, but the cupcakes aren't *that* colossal, so be prepared to buy a few! read more

Had a sweet tooth on this particular day so I decided to try out Colossal Cupcakes. The girl behind the counter was very helpful. I think Gretta was her name.

Highly recommend if you're walking around downtown Cleveland! read more

Colossal Cupcakes - Blue Velvet Cupcake - Bakeries Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

We stayed in hotel across the street and after later dinner we wanted a coffee and a little something to go with it. We saw this place was known for late hours, had ice cream and possibly a baked good for options. When we entered we were greeted by an employee who informed us that there was no ice cream at this time. Bummer. The cupcake case had about 6 choices but none of the choices were calling to me. There were s'mores cookies (1) that looked really good, loaded with fixings so I ordered that and the gal said, "Cookies are '2 for $6' if you'd like to get another one." But the only other choice was Sugar and I didn't want that. But I tried the Blondie Brownie (which had walnuts in it per gal) and I believe the total was $8 and change. I saw in another review that the cupcakes were pricey so I wasn't shocked. I took them back to hotel and then back home with me and ate a couple days later: the Blondie was moderately dense and lots of walnut bits which made it slightly crumbly but delicious. The s'mores cookie was Fabulous! Thicker than most and it also had lots of fixings in it but stayed together well. Very good flavor and I highly recommend that cookie! read more

Five stars across the board. I had strawberry cupcakes, and they were very moist and delicious. The prices are reasonable. I found the decor odd for the size of the space. However, it was fitting. read more

If you are looking at completely destroying your sweet tooth, all the while in the presence of a Instagramy- heavenly glitter palace, then Cleveland's Colossal Cupcakes is for you. Me and my friends were in town for the Dir En Grey concert next door the night before. And we were looking to kill time before we all had to leave the city. We looked inside the big windows and saw all the pretty lights, chairs and sparkly things. You would think this was Willy Wonka's reading room by how bright and colorful it was. They feature massive cups of sparkling cupcakes ranging from Strawberry champagne two chocolate cheesecake. There were over 40 choices to choose from and some can be modified. After we went Instagram crazy, we ended up sitting and having a chat while eating our delicious sugary cupcakes. But please know that they go fast, right after we ordered ours, somebody ordered 20. This place is for gatherings and birthday parties for sure. So go in and smile a little. Five stars for great service. read more

Colossal Cupcakes - Look at this chair! - Bakeries Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Unique decor, but the cupcake was not great. Even the frosting, which is normally the best part was lackluster. We bought the pink bagels because our daughter loves pink, but they went moldy in under two days so we didn't even get to try them. Colossal cupcakes did finally refund our money after multiple phone calls. What a waste of time. read more

I was somewhere between 3 & 4 on this place but the chocolate chip cookies was good enough to make up for the not so good carrot cupcake I had. I stopped in here on my first ever trip to Cleveland because my Uber driver recommended it. It's on a nice street full of lots of cute restaurants and other sweet treat options, I should note. I visited this place twice in this single trip. 1. My first time I got the carrot cupcake and I didn't like it. I found it to be very dry but the frosting was good. 2. I decided on round two to go with a cookie, chocolate chip to be exact. It was so delicious, moist, and I appreciated the size of the chocolate chips!! read more

I have wanted to try this place forever, but hadn't had the opportunity just yet. Finding free street parking downtown is difficult, but timing is everything. I saw a nearby spot and figured it was a sign that God cares about my happiness and wanted me to get a cupcake without delay. I am so glad I stopped. What a cool establishment. Very colorful decor and bright lighting. True to the name, the cupcakes was huge! The employee was knowledgeable and helpful and patient as I decided between 3 different flavors. Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with whichever one you choose. I can't wait to return. Cupcakes make everything better, like bacon...and go figure they have a cupcake with bacon on it. I didn't try that one, but might if I read some great reviews. If you haven't gone to Colossal just yet, treat yourself! read more

Colossal Cupcakes - Peanut butter cup cupcake - Bakeries Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

We were looking for dessert and a number of nearby places seemed permanently closed so we were happy to find this cupcake shop! It was around 8PM and they still had a good selection of cupcakes. We asked about the cake shakes and quakes as there weren't any descriptions on the board about these (e.g. are there choices of flavors?). The lone person working there really didn't seem to want to talk about these items other than to say the shake had dairy and the quake was vegan. So...we took the hint and just went with cupcakes. I got a peanut butter cup cupcake to go and it was very good; the cake was chocolate, fresh and tasty. The peanut butter frosting was fluffy which I much prefer to heavier buttercream. The peanut butter flavor was good and the crumbled peanut butter cups on top completed the dessert nicely. This is a splurge dessert for sure, but not so huge or rich to be unrealistic for one person to eat. read more

We were walking in the Arcade mall and happened to stop by this place. This place is meant to attract girls that love taking Instagram/Snapchat photos. It has bright pink and purple couches with rhinestones and photo booth props on the table to hold up and take photos on the couch. I made my husband take them with me and he got annoyed haha. We just browsed around the first day because we wanted to wait and get some to take home later. They had a lot of creative flavors and looked delicious. Luckily I checked yelp when I was at the hotel. The reviews all said the cupcakes were dry and the icing tasted like cheap gel. Glad I checked, because originally we were going to buy about 6. After reading the reviews we were gonna skip this place, but I was curious so I ended up just buying 2. Turns out yelp was right. I got an Oreo cheesecake and a champagne cupcake. They looked pretty but that was about it. Didn't really taste much Oreo or champagne flavor in the cupcakes. The icing did taste like cheap gel. The cupcakes weren't as dry as I was expecting, but they weren't that moist either. Overall it seems like a tourist trap with nicely decorated cupcakes to hide the lack of flavor. Not really worth the price. read more

OMG!! What do I say about this store it's so stinking cute inside. I LOVE the decor. They have this gorgeous chair for people to sit in, it's the perfect spot for a selfie.. and let's converse about the cupcakes. I was confused which one to get between the carrot cake and the blue velvet but when I asked the girl behind the counter she made up my mind for me. Lol her favorite was the blue velvet and it's also the most popular so I was sold!! I'm so glad she gave me that suggestion because that cupcake was AMAZING!!!! read more

Wasn't super impressed with their cupcakes, and I wanted to like this place really bad. I think the cupcakes are a bit overpriced for what they are. We got the Cinnamon Toast Crunch cupcake and the chocolate cream cheese. The Cinnamon Toast Crunch had horrible frosting, it was really oily and tasted like straight almond extract, you couldn't even taste the cinnamon. It also was stale like it had been sitting out. The chocolate cream cheese was okay, but I felt like I could get a similar quality cupcake at a grocery store bakery. I wouldn't mind this so much if the prices weren't so high. It was $13 for 2 cupcakes, and while they are big, for that price I would expect a bit higher quality. We didn't try their ice cream so maybe that would've been better. Overall it's a cute place and a fun thing to do downtown especially for kids, but not sure it's worth the price. read more

The shop is open!! The cupcakes were still huge with lots of fluffy icing on top. There were all kinds of cupcakes and brownies. Large, pretty macarons were in a separate case with rainbow colored bagels. Coffee was available. I missed the large pink throne chair, but the color scheme was still pink. Checking in there is a Yelp gift that was not honored having been closed during the pandemic, but I was given a free cup of coffee. Love cupcakes? Check out Colossal Cupcakes. I purchased two for a birthday gift, and one for my lunch. LOL read more
