    S'mores cupcake and chocolate salted caramel cupcake
    Vincent M.

    I was out running errands and was looking for a coffee. Well cupcakes also ended up on the menu. This place is really cute. Small shop, really friendly staff. The debate was between one of the weekly specials or the regulars. Weekly specials won out. I got a chocolate salted caramel cupcake and a s'mores cupcake to go. On the spot, I also got a small hot mocha. The coffee was good. A pretty standard mocha, leaning towards the sweeter side (not good or bad for that, just my take.) We had the cupcakes at home later that evening. They were quite delicious. The s'mores had a frosting with a light marshmallow flavor and what I think was a bit of a vanilla/graham cake. I didn't pick up on any chocolate. The chocolate salted caramel had a nice buttercream frosting, lightly salted and a bit of caramel in the center of the chocolate cake. Both cakes were quite moist and I felt the frostings weren't overly sweet. I'm not usually one to care much for frosting and I ate all of it. I'd say the cupcake size is sort of a smaller to medium. We split the two between two of us and it was a nice treat. You just won't get filled up with one. Looking forward to exploring more of their menu.

    True to its name, the scrumptious cupcakes aren't as sweet and the flavors are a bit more subtle with a new rotating weekly line-up of 4 unique flavors along with 8 classic flavors (dozen total flavors/week). The cupcakes sell out fast, best to get them early (you can't pre-order)! I've been here 4 times and tried a dozen of the new rotating flavors. The classic Raspberry Almond is my favorite flavor, the almond cake flavor is subtle and pairs really well with light raspberry buttercream. The Chocolate Salted Caramel and Raspberry Cocoa cupcakes are among my favorites with a rich moist chocolate cake. Th Raspberry buttercream pairs well with the chocolate cake. The S'mores graham cracker cupcake filled with chocolate frosting was delicious and also enjoyed the Sharkberry Shortcake filled with strawberry. The Tiramisu had a nice Expresso flavor. The cinnamon Churro flavor was like Snickerdoodle and the Mexican Hot Chocolate had a nice kick to it. The Hummingbird cupcake tasted a bit like carrot cake with nice texture. The Pina Colada tastes like a pineapple rum cake. The Lemon Lavender cupcake with lemon cupcake with lavender seeds and lavender frosting was bursting with flavor and fun to try! The classic Vanilla and Chocolate cupcakes, and Cherry Blossom are tasty, but prefer the other flavors. Always excited for the unique new weekly flavors. When I'm in the area, I love to stop by and grab a cupcake or two!

    Cupcake Heaven. Honestly, this really lives up to its name. The inside is nice. It's a rustic, almost a farmhouse kind of vibe. There was some light music playing in the background. All of the menu's and signage were handwritten and looked nice. Overall, this place is warm. It's cozy. First things first. I had a gluten free blueberry pastry bar and this thing was incredible and packed with flavor. Sometimes with "gluten free" foods you can TASTE that it's gluten free. With this, I couldn't even tell, it was so good. My only regret is not eating it with a big glass of cold milk. The service was incredible as well, very friendly, welcoming, and fast. We also ordered iced caramel macchiatos.. and this was incredible. You can typically tell when you see that type of drink if it's going to be good, and it was immediately apparent this thing was going to be good, and it really was. My wife has had this drink three times in the past and swears it's been perfect every single time. Now, let's talk about the cupcakes. My wife used to bring them home sometimes, and I'd end up having one or two hours later, and even then, they were perfect. Moist, rich, and full of a deep, delicious flavor. BUT TODAY. I finally got to try them fresh, right after buying them. And guess what? Still just as perfect. I'm not usually a big sweets or dessert person, but these really do hit that random sweets craving. This place is going to end up being a favorite of mine.

    Well, the cupcakes are heavenly. I don't even like cupcakes and these things are delightfully moist concoctions. Service is friendly and their tea lattes are lovely. 10/10 recommend. A few tables to sit but I recommend getting a dozen and bringing home so no one can see how many you eat in one day...

    Two tables outside in the front were available and my dog was welcomed to join me out here as my wife got us some treats. The icing was so light, airy, fluffy and the cupcakes themselves were so supple and light. I have never been so impressed that a Kentucky bourbon cake tasted exactly as its name. Everything was so fun and colorful and the staff were so welcoming. I highly recommend it. Parking available in the free lot besides building.

    Still the most moist and tender cupcakes I have ever had topped off with light and fluffy frosting. Lots of unique flavors on offer including rotating specialty options like Butterbeer, Mexican hot chocolate, Blueberry cobbler, sweet potato, lemon lavender and Kentucky bourbon (all among my personal favorites) There are different specialty flavors every week. They no longer make custom cakes, however you can preorder custom cupcakes for events. In addition to literally the BEST Cupcakes I've had in the DMV they offer a wide variety of delicious drinks and some light lunch options. Plus specialty pastries. There are a few standard gluten free options daily and you can special order others. Now located next to the Haymarket police station, in a lovely historic building, the smaller location offers a couple of outdoor tables and an island for indoor snacking.

    Vanilla with milk chocolate and mocha latte
    Amy L.

    We tried 2 cupcakes at $3.25 each. Vanilla cake with milk chocolate frosting is one of their regular flavors. The frosting was great but the cupcake was a bit dry. We almost didn't try the mocha latte, one of their special weekly flavors, because it had chocolate cake - but I'm glad we did! The cake was moist and delicious and not too chocolately - more like devil's food cake. The mocha icing was superb. The shop is cute. In addition to the regular cupcakes, they had scones, bars, and gluten free cupcakes. They also had coffee and drinks.

    My daughter's "Baby Carriage Cupcake Cake" for her BabyShower.
    Deirdre L.

    OMGoodness!!! So very impressed with Cupcake Heaven!! I emailed a picture of a "baby carriage cupcake" cake for my daughter's BabyShower. Communication was very quick & I was able to pay an online invoice. The cupcakes tasted AMAZING!! Even had a guest at the shower ask me "Are these from Cupcake Heaven down in Haymarket?" She's had them before & recognized the taste from her prior experience. Everything was packaged so beautifully including the bags of extra icing they included so I could pipe on the outlines once the cupcakes were properly assembled. Will 100% be back & are just so thankful for what a wonderful job Cupcake Heaven did for our special occasion!!!

    Amazing cupcakes! I'm so happy find a great cupcake place right across to my lash place. It's great to grab some fun cupcakes to brighten someone's day. I tried a bunch of different ones sept 2022 and just purchased some for Jan 2023. I'll update my review if I get to sample these (they are for a friend who's going through a hard time. ) 6 cupcakes $21 - not a bad price.

    Apple spice cupcake
    Ruth Samantha G.

    Such a cute shop. So many great options of both drinks and treats. Stopped by for dessert after dinner across the street. Got the Apple spice cupcake and soooo delicious. A great balance of sweet and savory. Can't wait to go back and try other things.

The owner is from Colombia, and there's a beautiful portrait in the shop representing coffee from her family's farms, which adds such a personal and meaningful touch. This place is as charming as it gets--cozy, welcoming, and thoughtfully curated. Great coffee, delicious sweets, and a solid selection of sandwiches. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.

Coffee…read moreitself was rather acidic but espresso drinks with all the extras added were more appealing. Cute shop but service negatively affected the overall experience. Walking in, we liked the vibe. The place is tight on space and it gets very busy and crowded on weekends. This coffeehouse has potential, but they're not showing their best right now. Bait and switch: Based on their menu, we did not at all receive what we were anticipating. It sounded so delicious on the menu. However, what we got was not what was posted and not one of the staff told us that they were out of what we ordered. Not at the time of ordering, not while we waited forever to get our food, not when the food finally came out. Some food was brought to us, some sat out on the counter forever (because the buzzers don't work) where other customers picked up their orders. Who knows how much spit ended up on the food! We kept munching and kept thinking something is missing. We looked under the bread and didn't see what was stated on the menu so we finally asked and were told they were out of what we ordered. Absolutely unacceptable but useless at this point after waiting 20+ minutes for sandwiches and beverages and being faced by someone extremely unapologetic and unmotivated to correct the situation. So, prices definitely not worth what you get here. Hit or miss in terms of food and beverages for both quality and taste. Disappointing that the coffee was so sour and bitter tasting. Hoping for a nice smooth cup. Everything we ordered and customer service received here...unreliable at best. Worth the drive? Nope. If in the immediate area and needing caffeine, maybe, but definitely not worth going out of your way. Parking tight on the weekends. Was so hoping to love this place because we need more independent warm, cozy, welcoming coffeehouses. But service, food, coffee at this point were all very disappointing. Big improvements in all areas? Well, maybe we'll return and try again, but the poor first impression received on this visit will be hard to motivate a return in order to improve this rating and review.

The service was good: a young lady helped with my order with a smile and seemed happy to help. The interior of the shop looks exactly like the exterior, a house. The tables were old and wooden, but still looked good enough to use. There were fun, colorful decorations and awards throughout the place.
