Cupcake City in Reading is truly the best of the best!! We ordered a large order of cupcakes for my Amalfi Coast themed bridal shower as the main dessert and they completely exceeded every expectation! Not only were they absolutely beautiful and perfectly on theme, but they tasted even better than they looked!! Karin has always been so kind, helpful, and wonderful to work with!!! She made the entire process so easy and really helped bring my vision to life! Every single cupcake was either eaten or taken home! There was not a single one left!! We have been loyal customers for years and there is a reason for that. They are hands down the best cupcakes around!! Highly recommend!! read more

The owner immediately reached out to me about the customer service issue. Thank you for that it was greatly appreciated.

Absolutely love this place! I've been getting cupcakes here regularly since moving to Reading a few years ago and have yet to have a bad one. I'll usually go in and just grab a dozen, they always have a good selection. I recently got custom Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cupcakes for my son's birthday and they were a huge hit! Staff is very friendly and there is a small parking lot in front so it's super easy to stop in. They also make gluten free cupcakes! read more

I found your store (sitting at my desk in another state) by googling "cupcake bakery" near the hotel where the meeting was in Woburn, MA. I had ZERO idea on where to order 3 dozen cupcakes, with fall colors, to be delivered. Several businesses were revealed, but my thinking was if your name is about a city of cupcakes, seems like the best choice. I was not wrong. I ordered 3 dozen cupcakes for delivery via Uber Eats. The information I received from the business colleagues at the hotel, was that the order was fantastic! I didn't get to see them (or taste them), but it was shared with me that they were beautiful, fall colors, tasty and left a great impression with the group. So, THANK YOU to everyone on your team...the manager I spoke to on who helped define the order with Uber Eats; the bakers and decorators; the person that packaged them up; etc. Everyone deserves an "atta-girl/boy" for it. If cupcakes are ever needed there again, clearly you'll be my 1st choice. read more

Tasty cupcakes with some fun seasonal flavors. They also have ones with cute decorations for any special events.

I went into work today and a co worker brought some in. The only option left was a delicious vanilla cupcake with a delicious filling in the middle. It had pink frosting with pink sugar flakes on top but I took the frosting off. Not a huge fan of a lot of frosting. The cupcake itself was absolutely amazing. So much I had to take a picture of business label so I can visit one day and buy more. I'm currently planning my daughter's birthday so it may be sooner than I think. I saw they use to have on in Newton, bummed it's closed as that would've been closer for me. Based off of my first cupcake...I'll give the place a visit . read more

The cupcakes are amazing. Delicious and moist. The gluten free ones are by far the best I've had.

Amazing! I got 1/2 dozen cupcakes over the weekend and they were so good. I hadn't been in a while so it was like a new experience for me. The cupcakes were so fresh and had so many to choose from. It was hard not to get them all, but I made a promise to myself if they were good, I would come back and try some more. Well, I'm going back because they were indeed delicious. I also couldn't help but notice how clean and in order the store was and the young lady who helped me was very nice and patient (because the struggle was real when I was trying to pick out which cupcakes I wanted to try). I will be back again and again and again. read more

Not my normal cupcake place but needed some variety for a last minute Birthday Party for the boys and my normal place makes you do 6 of a flavor and I didn't need 48 cupcakes just to get variety so I came to Yelp and found Cupcake City and OMG we were not disappointed, the variety is crazy, tons of options, Lots of flavor! Carrot is my fave (I know weird, I just love it!!) but the carrot wasn't as great as the other place, but everything else was FAR BETTER!!! They even package is nice little holders for each one that hold them still! They have a seasonal changing menu as well which is nice. Strawberry Shortcake was my super want on this trip but someone else stole those ones so Ill have to make a special trip back just to get one before Summer is over! This will be my new go to place for Cupcakes, Thank you Yelp!!! read more

Delicious cupcakes and the serve is great. We got gluten free cupcakes and people loved them.

Yummy Yummy Yummy! Drive by this gem a few days ago and had to stop in. Today they had a 1/2 dozen walk-in special, so while I don't NEED 6 cupcakes, here we are! I got a mix of regular and specialty. Can I just say DELICIOUS! So soft, well balanced cake to icing ratio and not too overly sweet. I'm excited to go on a Friday and try their vegan cupcakes. There was one vegan and one gluten free cupcake left when I got there so I figured I would wait. read more

Over the course of a few days, some cupcakes from Cupcake City found their way from Reading to my table and then into my belly. It went something like this: Tuesday: A friend in that area happened to be driving past Tewksbury Community Market, which he discovered was open Tuesday afternoons during the summer (unfortunately, that market is now winding down for the season). He discovered a Cupcake City truck there and bought a package of 4 cupcakes. Wednesday: Same friend drove out here with the cupcakes. We started with the Red Velvet cupcake, and it just steamrolled from there. This cupcake had been refrigerated the night before, and it was already about 30 hours old, but it still tasted like it was only 30 MINUTES old! It was still quite moist and unquestionably delicious. I was content to stop there for the evening, but he said, "Now the Pumpkin Spice?" I couldn't say no, but I also remembered to take a photo of the remaining cupcakes before they somehow disappeared. The Pumpkin Spice was equally delicious and moist. It's more like a spice cupcake with a hint of pumpkin, and it also had a cream cheese frosting as did the Red Velvet. Thursday: Time to finish the remaining cupcakes. By now, with 2 overnights in a refrigerator, they were slightly less moist but still incredibly delicious. The Vanilla cupcake is basic good. We deliberately saved the Chocolate Bourbon Pecan cupcake for last, and we weren't disappointed. They even found a way to coat the toasted pecans on top of the frosting with the same flavor! I am not a fan of cupcakes which have exceedingly sweet frostings. The ones from Cupcake City are sweet, but not ridiculously sweet. I've also limited my sweets over the past few months - these cupcakes were both a (light) sugar high and a mental high, knowing there's really good cupcakes out there waiting for me when I can get to that part of Massachusetts again. read more

Cup cake City never disappoints. Not only do they offer a large variety of cupcakes, they are always fresh and mouthwatering delicious. Kudos to the staff as well. It's always an enjoyable experience stopping by there. read more

I discovered Cupcake City when I moved to Reading in 2022. My go to for my husband/4 childrens birthday celebrations. Went today to get get cupcakes for my son's 23rd b-day dinner. Closed Mondays, oh no!. As I was getting back into my car, I ran into the owners. They quickly went inside and gave me an complimentary assorted dozen. Asked me to donate to the Dana Farber if I so desired! As a childhood cancer Dana Farber survivor of 40 years, consider it done! Can't say how much this interaction brightened more than just my day. BTW, the cupcakes are always delicious! read more

Super yummy cupcakes! Also the flavors are great as well. There was still a good selection late Sunday afternoon which is great. But what was really amazing was the girl behind the counter.

Ordered these for a Bachelorette party and they were a hit! The cupcakes are not overly sweet, moist, and taste amazing! I ordered most of the flavors they have on hand and some of their summer specials (oreo, salted caramel, carrot cake, red velvet, peanut butter, cookie dough.. this are the ones I remember). Everyone loved them. I definitely plan on coming back to try some of their specials! They have their own parking lot, which is helpful for pick up. Check out their website or call them for flavors that they have available! read more

This review is long overdue! Cupcake City is, hands-down, my absolute favorite (and the best, lol) gourmet cupcake shop in the Boston area! I've tried almost all of their flavors and they do not disappoint. And the rotating daily specialty flavor and seasonal flavors are amazing as well and a great way to bring in the next season! The cupcakes are all quite large and filling...always moist and full of flavor. Their frosting is well-balanced and excellent (especially the cream cheese frosting) and the cupcakes that come with extra toppings on top are amazing! And the infused cupcakes are a lovely surprise too! Some of my favorites include (ones it all caps are my top ones): Banana Split, BLUEBERRY CRUMBLE, Biscotti, Butter Cookie, Caramel Apple, CARROT CAKE, Cinnamon Apple Crisp, CINNAMON STREUSEL, French Toast, Hot Chocolate, Hot Fudge, Lemon, Lemon Blueberry, MAPLE PANCAKE (Bacon on top, wow!), Margarita, Oreo, Pina Colada, Pumpkin, PEANUT BUTTER, Strawberry Lemonade, RED VELVET. Love, love, love their cupcakes. They are so good, I don't even want to order cupcakes from anywhere else! Pro-tip: Go early on weekends so you can be sure to get your preferred flavor! read more

Karin made it so easy to order the cupcakes. I was taking them to K9 performance. So her suggestion of making some dog faces on the cupcakes was wonderful! Karin's cupcakes are a perfect "thank-you" or for any other special occasion. Will definitely be back. read more

Not a fan of their frosting. It tastes like shortening and was too loose. it slid off the cupcake.

They have the rudest employees. I would never ever use them .One of there employee's laugh in my face when I had a concern and said really.

Amazing customer service!!! Cupcake City proved to be the best cupcake shop around! My mother and boyfriend have been raving about this place for years so I knew I had to give it a try. My boyfriend recently got into a highly competitive grad-school program so as a proud girlfriend I knew I had to congratulate him with a sweet surprise! The only downside was that I am away at college in New York. Thus, being long-distance (400+ miles away!) means I couldn't pick up the cupcakes and deliver them myself. To my surprise, however, I realized Cupcake City was on UberEats. I immediately began putting together an order, but realized his favorite flavor - the chocolate chip cupcake - was unavailable. Only the daily flavors were available through the app. I figured it would shoot an email to the shop to see if they could somehow swap out a cupcake for the specialty flavor. After all, the worst they could say was no. The owner, Karin, was exceptional! She replied to my email within minutes and was happy to help me with the surprise. She even went the extra mile and let me add a little note with his cupcakes! PLUS, she emailed me the morning of with a picture of his cupcakes ready to go, packaged beautifully with a bow! Her dedication to her customers truly shows and none of this would have been possible without her help. It was a win-win situation! My boyfriend loved his surprise and Cupcake City gained another satisfied customer! 11/10 would recommend this shop to anyone. Will DEFINITELY be back once I'm home! read more

Always been a huge fan of Cupcake City. The cupcakes are cute, quality and generally delicious! I preordered a dozen for Christmas this year and was absolutely shocked when the girl gave me my total of 51.00. Last time I ordered from there a dozen was 38.00. Fifty bucks for 12 cupcakes is steep. Especially when they were offering a "walk in special" for 46.00. It was like being punished for ordering ahead. First time having the funfetti as well and I removed the frosting. It was bland which I have never experienced here. I'll be scaling back on ordering these from now on, just too expensive. read more

Amazing cupcakes and wonderful service! I have used Cupcake City for events, as a sympathy gift and just when I feel like a special treat. Most recently, I purchased a half dozen cupcakes to celebrate my little brother's graduation. I was able to customize the cupcakes and Karin, the owner, saw to it that the cupcakes were decorated in his school colors as an extra special touch! The cupcakes were amazingly fresh and very decadent. They recommend you do not refrigerate and instead eat them within 24 hours of purchase, as they do not use any preservatives, which I think is awesome. Be sure to call ahead and reserve your order, as they do sell out many flavors by the end of the day! read more

Saw Cupcake City on Chronicle last night and got up early with my husband and 3 kids and drove to Reading for a taste. All the cakes were moist and delicious! The frosting on each cupcake was not overly sweet, for me was a plus. Overall, we'll be back to try more flavors! read more

Coming from DC with Baked and Wired, Georgetown Cupcakes, Sprinkles and a plethora of other cupcake establishments; I'm was so ecstatic when I found Cupcake City in Boston! I've been looking for a great cupcake place in Boston and this is it. I'm also happy that they have a food truck in Boston because going out to Newton or Reading is a trek I'm not ready to make. I mean the cupcakes are that good but still why deprive us of such deliciousness with these far locations. But anyways back to the real review. So I saw the Cupcake City food truck at the Boston Local Food Festival, and I had already bookmarked the place on Yelp after searching for a decent cupcake place a few weeks earlier, so I knew I had to get one. I got the tiramisu and immediately regretted my decision on sticking with one cupcake versus two. The cupcake was moist and tasted amazing! It also had the right amount of icing on top so you could enjoy it with each bite without it being an overload. It might actually be better than Georgetown Cupcakes, but I'd have to try a couple more flavors before confirming that statement. But if you see the Cupcake City food truck I'd say stop and go for it, it's good. I really wish I knew the Boston areas in which the food truck resides so I could just go there anytime I please, but I will eventually find it and try more. read more

Very easy to order online and prompt responses to questions. Everything fresh baked upon pick up and excellent quality.

The best cupcakes with the best flavors. I have ordered a number of special occasions and they have never let me down!

This place is fabulous. I prefer that all the cupcakes I purchase come from here. They are consistently delicious. It is very easy to order online, and emailing the bakery usually results in a prompt and helpful response. My absolute favorite is their Red Velvet cupcake, which is a year round staple. Other favorites include the Lemon cupcake, the Hostess cupcake and the Mudslide. read more

The best! Super easy placed my order it was ready and now I'm satisfied! Will be going back to them next time I have another bodybuilding show or when I feel like having a treat! read more

I've ordered cupcakes in advanced and the day of from Cupcake City. There is a great selection of cupcakes, and each time I've given them as a gift, the recipient raves about the delicious cupcakes. The cupcakes are pricey at about $3.50 per cupcake but I have only purchased them for special occasions (birthdays). The customer service is average. Not overly friendly but not dismissive. I would return to pick up cupcakes for future special occasions. read more

Best cupcake I've ever had! Personally I'm not a huge cupcake fan, but these were really yummy. Cupcake city is a little hidden on main street going towards North Reading if you're coming from Stoneham it's going to be on your right tucked away in a little brick plaza. There is plenty of parking for this little bakery. They don't have a whole lot of flavors but they have a good 12 on display at a time. They are fresh and delicious. The frosting on the ones I chose was buttercream. It was light and not to sweet. Just enough frosting and not to much. The cake was dense and delectable. I prefer a moist dense cake. I bought 4 cupcakes. Chocolate chip which was awesome and also margarita, Oreo and nutty butter. I only ate the chocolate chip but I'm sure the others are yummy too. The staff were young girls and were friendly and kind. They accept debit credit and chip. If I eventually have a need for cupcakes in the future I will get them form here ! read more

So excited to find a place with vegan cupcakes! I'm vegan and my boyfriend is not so it's nice to find a local place with options for us both.
