    Red Velvet and Lemon Blackberry cupcakes
    Allison W.

    Such a cute place to get a sweet treat! I got a couple of mini cupcakes here for my birthday, the red velvet and the lemon blackberry. I loved them both! The lemon blackberry had the right amount of tartness, and I loved the cream cheese frosting of the red velvet. Perfectly bite sized, would definitely come here for another celebratory treat!

    So happy to see that Cupcakin has a location right outside the Chase Center! While it was my first time visiting this location, they are by far my favorite cupcakes in the Bay Area! Surprisingly they still had a nice selection to choose from towards the end of the day. Service was fast and my treats were delicious.

    Hostess Cupcake...absolutely the best cupcake flavor ever!!
    Janet T.

    Cupcakin Bake Shop makes the most decadent and delicious cupcakes ever! They have the perfect amount of sweetness in every bite and always moist and never dry. So many unique flavors from Hostess chocolate to lemon cream pie flavors. Great customer service, rewards system, and cute ambiance! I will definitely come back for more cupcakes!

    Craving something sweet before the game. Saw the balloons out front and went in to check them out. The employee behind the counter was so nice. They offer several varieties of cupcakes including gluten free and vegan. We decided on two key lime pie cupcakes, the cookies and cream cupcake, and the carrot cake cupcake. They were all so moist and delicious. The standout cupcake was the key lime pie flavor. There was a graham cracker crust at the bottom and the center had key lime pie filling. It was decadent and delicious. Both my husband and I enjoyed these very much.

    I absolutely love cupcakes from here and prefer it to most cakes! The cake itself is perfectly spongy, and I love the flavor offerings, with red velvet and coffee being my favorite. The buttercream is very heavy on the butter, and that tends to put me off a bit but i just eat as much as I can. The staff here is super kind and helpful. I love how this location is located next to the Chase Center. Makes for a yummy pre-game snack or post-dinner dessert!

    Key Lime Pie and Oreo Cupcakes- $10.50
    Monica C.

    Tasty and cute cupcakes at the Chase Center! Went on a Wednesday late afternoon and there was no line. Got both a key lime pie and Oreo cupcakes. The bigger ones were $5.25 each and the mini ones were $2.25 each. Enjoyed both... preferred the key lime pie because it was not too tarty and well-balanced. The Oreo one was not too sweet! I usually like my chocolate on the sweeter side. Overall, pretty expensive for one cupcake but that seemed to be the new norm! Probably will stop by again if I was craving a cupcake nearby.

    I had another excellent experience with a Too Good to Go bag, as the wonderful staff Aa'Qyra remembered that I had a nut allergy, without me even saying anything, and made sure I got a box without nuts. The cupcakes were delicious as always and the holiday decorations were elegant and welcoming. Thank you, Aa'Qyra!

    Regular and mini cupcakes
    Cynthia W.

    Many different flavors to choose from! They have regular size or mini cupcakes. I would recommend going for the regular size since the mini ones are literally one bite. My favorite that I tried is the key lime flavor one. This is a unique flavor that I haven't seen elsewhere and has the perfect balance of tartness with sweetness. The other cupcakes were all great choices. Every one of them was frosted nicely. I would say this is a great option to go for a quick dessert if youre around the Chase center but I don't know if I would go out of the way to get some.

    1 Piece Key Lime Pie

    Key Lime Pie Cupcake comes with a graham cracker bottom!? It's a must try. I didn't go by the shop so I don't know what the ambiance is like, however, I know these cupcakes by taste! They have mini cup cakes which are small but not anything less than a regular size cupcake. They are not overly sweet! And buttery and cakey cake. They have a lot of great flavors and so far I haven't had one that I didn't like. I figured out this is the same business my job orders from in oakland. We've ordered only the minis for our job (great idea for your staff if you have a business) but they have been unforgettable.

    Tatiana N.

    I wasn't terribly blown away by the flavors. It certainly is a good sweet treat when you need one.

    Kim Ann T.

    I love having a bake shop in the area! The vanilla cupcakes are awesome. And they come in a mini size as well. Not too sweet, but sweet enough to curb a sugar craving and the buttercream frosting is *chef's kiss* i definitely want to come back and try the carrot cake

    Although they don't serve variations of buttercups, A Buttercup is one of the few dessert houses…read moreoffering Taiwanese-style treats like Bingsoo, Milk Bread Toast, and other Asian fusion creations. I'm always hunting for spots like this because I have a weakness for those over-the-top, Instagram-worthy desserts that look like diabetes in a dish. Like most places in this genre, A Buttercup is small, modern, and minimalist with limited seating. If you plan to go, aim for off-hours unless you enjoy waiting in line for sugar. The decor is cute and trendy, perfect for photos if that's part of your dessert ritual. As they say, "you eat with your eyes first," and when it comes to presentation, this place definitely gets an A+. The desserts look stunning and set high expectations. Unfortunately, that's where things started to crumble. It's like going to see your favorite artist live. You've watched the videos, memorized the songs, and paid for the experience. But instead of the electric performance you imagined, you get someone lip-syncing and barely connecting with the crowd. That was this place in dessert form. We ordered the Mango Bingsoo on our first visit, and when it arrived, we were surprised by how small the portion was. The guy next to us even looked over and said, "Whatever that is, I'm getting that next time." He shouldn't have. The Bingsoo looked great but was bland, and the "snow" was more chunky ice than soft shave. The Thai Tea Roti was also not what I expected. It came with Thai tea ice cream and sauce alongside a roti that was fried to a crunch. Interesting idea, just not the best execution. The sauce and ice cream needed a stronger Thai tea flavor to balance the crispy roti, and the flavors never quite came together. Overall, A Buttercup nails the aesthetics but misses the flavor. If you're here for the photos, you'll be happy. If you're here for the taste, you'll leave with a full camera roll and an unsatisfied sweet tooth.

Kaya Pandan Toast is my second favorite. I'm a fan of the bread and how the ice cream mixes with it. Mango Tango is pretty good. Good mango flavor, a good mango bingsoo. The Black Thai tea crepe has a really good tea flavor. The Thai Tea flavor comes out really well. The Japanese Crepe with condensed milk and Oreo was alright.

Last year I saw how insanely popular their Tokyo store was, so I finally tried this cafe for the first time because it was unusually empty as I was passing by. I had no idea what to order because the menu wasn't conspicuous to virginal visitors. Only later did I notice the drink menu on the left wall. The openly exposed desserts are what really caught my eye first. I decided to order the $6.75 Frozen Hot Chocolate because it frankly reminded me of the decadent monstrosities at the legendary Serendipity 3 in Manhattan's Midtown East (Photo 8). It was similar but not nearly as huge of pricy. I liked it a lot though with a generous dollop of whipped cream, it was more a mid-afternoon dessert. That should've been enough, but the confections on display were too inviting. Filled with 70% Takyikrom and Ghana chocolate ganache, the $8 Apple Donut was freckled with candied apple bits and tossed in spiced sugar (Photo 9). Delightfully decadent.

It was refreshing and not too sweet and it had a smooth taste. I then ordered the cheese tart. It was a little cheesy but a bit flakey like some in SF ( It's national cheese day). It was also savory and tasty. I then had to try their Ube tart. The purple tart was a bit sweet and a was deliciousness and a bit creamy and flakey.

Probably one of the best shaved ice textures I've tried thus far! The passionfruit drizzle had a nice tartness though I am not sure it was worth the $1.25 and it was a bit too tart to pair with the pina colada in my opinion. I tried some of my friend's guava and it was superb as well. More dairy flavor since it wasn't a vegan flavor like the pina colada so it was a bit more rich which is nice. I like that there are non-dairy options and would love to come back and try the other flavors!
