I wasn't a huge fan of this place for years, but then new ownership took over and the products, services, and ambiance all got way better! Now I meet here once a week for a breakfast quiche, coffee, and mini cupcake(sometimes full size) read more

Unfortunately after a handful of disappointments since new ownership awhile back, I a have to retract my original review. I was told that the recipes will remain/ and have remained the same. However, as a couple others have mentioned.. that is most definitely NOT the case. As someone who used to frequent Cupprimo quite often for my holiday/sweet tooth needs or even if I was just in the area, I know the taste of the old recipes very well. Despite what being told, the recipes have changed. The cupcakes are dry/hard and lack flavor. The icing used to be my favorite it because it wasnt too sweet.. now it overwhelms with sweetness. My favorite was the blue velvet which now has a perfume taste to it. My fiance loved the strawberry which has definitely changed since there was not strawberry peices in the cupcakes before. First couple times I thought maybe it was a fluke or bad day but after trying several old and new flavors they now offer, it breaks my heart to say I wont be returning. read more

Being gluten free, it's difficult to find pastries and sweets that I can eat. Most places don't have GF options. When I read that Cupprimo did, I immediately went to check it out and ended up going twice in two days. Their GF red velvet and coconut cream cupcakes are SO good. My top fave was the red velvet (personal preference, have always been obsessed). Try it out, it's so good!! My friend had the non-GF version of the strawberry cupcake and he raved about it. Friendly staff too, and cute place. Highly recommend! read more

Cupprimo - Gluten free red velvet cupcake - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

My wife has Celiac so we've been hunting for gluten free cupcakes around Austin. Cupprimo in our opinion is the best! They take Celiac seriously and we could not be more thankful. My wife said that the birthday cake cupcake reminded her of her childhood!!! All of the cupcakes were great I might add - super moist, fresh, and tasty. We have been and will be back many times over. Thank you Cupprimo! Also, the staff is amazing in answering questions and the like - the gentlemen up front was super patient and nice. Thank you. read more

This store is pretty small and was initially hard to find but we got the red velvet and Oreo cupcakes and were pretty impressed. It's a family run store - it's nice to support local businesses and it doesn't hurt that the food is delicious too. The prices were definitely better than sprinkles, and I'd say the taste was comparable. The iced vanilla latte was better than what we can get at Starbucks, so that's a plus. read more

Cupprimo - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Their cupcakes are amazing! I can't wait to get more! The mini ones are good but not enough cup cake! Go for the full sized it's worth it

Thank you for the decadent Reese cupcake. It was huge and delicious. We enjoyed our cupcakes and couldn't even finish them - had to pack them up to take home. We'll definitely come back to try the coffee. read more

Cupcakes were good. The minis were overpriced. Male at the counter was very friendly, but wasn't impressed with the demeanor of management.

If you're looking for the best cupcakes and service in Austin KEEP READING! This small business makes amazing cupcakes that are much as a treat for your eyes as they are for your tastebuds! The cupcakes are why I come and the amazing service is why I return. Today, the business owner not only took time to personally give me attention and make me feel as if my patronage was important but she also walked my order out to my car for me. I use their awesome baked goods as client gifts and to bring to events and they have never disappointed! read more

Cupprimo - Always count on Cupprimo to deliver awesome client gifts !!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

OMG I love these cupcakes! The almond one, it's blue, is so great but honestly my favorite was the lemon custard. Best cupcake I have ever had, and I search for great cupcakes often. I wish they would make more Tres leches cupcakes because I hear those are amazing and would love to try one but we only come in the evenings and they are all sold out. The consistency and flavors just cannot be beat, even by Amys Baked cupcakes. The icing to breading ratio is perfect, perfect moistness, perfect sweetness. These ladies really know what they're doing! Great customer service every single time, and my friends tell me they often have great deals (they go there more than we do) Definitely the best place for dessert in the austin area, we drive all the way from South 35 and slaughter if that tells you anything! read more

Brought 12 Cupprimo cupcakes to a birthday party and they were a big hit! The choice of flavors are awesome: Red Velvet, Nutter Butter, Tuxedo, Lemon Blueberry, and plenty more. They bake them fresh each morning and they must use quality ingredients as the taste and texture is just wonderful. Love the little shop that has coffee and more. read more

I'm not a cupcake person. I'm not even a big dessert lover. However I will drive half an hour out of my way to pick up cupcakes from Cupprimo. And my wife, who is "queen of all things sweet & delicious", will only eat Cupprimo cupcakes. She now refuses to eat anything from Gigi's. FYI, Guys...if you find yourself in the doghouse with the wife, Cupprimo cupcakes work better than roses!! read more

Everything from the custom blends of coffee and espresso beans that pair phenomenally with their professional grade cupcakes, to the astounding customer service this little not so secret hole in the wall cupcake bakery is one of the rare must experience locations in Austin. Get a sampling of their mini cupcakes each day of the week and then you'll be prepare to order your favorite in the normal size! Since they cook everything fresh daily it might take them a little longer I the morning early afternoon to have all the cupcake flavors available. My wife and sister-in-law can not talk enough about the blue velvet (traditional vanilla almond wedding cake with cream cheese icing), but my favorite is the Tres Leches, it is the most decadent moist cupcake I've ever eaten! It's like riding a unicorn over a rainbow while reading a piece of mail that is telling you that all of your debts have been canceled! Seriously, when you eat these cupcakes the only way to describe them is with similes and metaphors, because they are out of this world! Whether you live in Austin or just visiting, bring the kids or simply yourself, spoil yourself to a breakfast, lunch, or dinner treat. Chances are if you sit in the front you'll be chatted up by Amy the owner who honestly cares about everyone who walks into the door! I don't know about you, but those places that the owner sits down with the guests to get to know them are those rare special places that show a level of customer relationship building that is sadly a rare treat in this world of ours. From the coffee, cupcakes, and the workers, this place is filled with sweet sweet joy! Make your heart and taste buds happy by letting Cupprimo share a little bit of love to you! UPDATE: Coconut Cream is outstanding, and I hear that if you order a customer order of a minimum of a dozen full size or 2 dozen minis then they will make ANY flavor of cake you'd like! And I've heard that Piña Colada and Peach Cobbler are amazing! read more

I was near by and saw a cool name "Cupprimo"...that made me check out the place. I got their double chocolate cupcake and iced green tea chai latte. Cupcake was really moist and chocolatey...the chocolate cream on the top was tasting like home made chocolate icing...the cupcake wasn't too sweet, icing just a tiny bit too sweet...topped with some kind of crunchy chocolate ball and rainbow colored coarse sugar...just really fun and tasty treat...even though I came in the evening cupcake tasted freshly baked. My iced green tea chai latte was little bit too milky to my taste but generous topping of real fresh cinnamon and honey made up for it. Overall fun place with delicious cupcakes and coffee drinks. Also they had 4-6 gluten free cupcakes that I'll try the next time I'm around. read more

Cupprimo - Full Size Cupcake Gluten Free Cupcake Neapolitan Iced Coffee White Shark Iced - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Cupprimo is the new cupcakery that recently opened in the Big Lots shopping center at the corner of 183 and Spicewood Springs Road and being in the Big Lots strip mall should tell you everything you need to know about Cupprimo's atmosphere. But, c'mon, we're not here for the atmosphere. The people at Cupprimo are very friendly and helpful. To give them a fair shot, we tried "one of everything". We are givers that way. We had 6 cupcakes total: one vanilla, one chocolate, one coconut, one peanut butter, one cappucino, and one strawberry. These are regular sized cupcakes, nicely decorated and heavily dressed with diabetic coma-inducing yet flavorful frosting. Winners were the strawberry (with a fresh strawb on top) and the chocolate, but all were tasty - though a bit on the dry side. Also, I always considered myself to have quite the sweet tooth and I would venture to say that these have even a little too much frosting for my taste. But they are definitely worth a try. The cupcakes are $2.50 each. I think that's pricey for a regular sized cupcake - even one made from scratch - which is why I am holding my stars at three. Cupprimo is right next to Jollyville Java so if you go in for a latte and for some ungodly reason are not in the mood for a JJ homemade scone, maybe you could traipse next door for a tasty little cupcake. CORRECTION: Sadly, Cupprimo is where Jollyville Java used to be, not next to it. I had hardly noticed. sniff. read more

Ever had a cupcake for breakfast? Ever had a mini-cupcake for breakfast? Ever had 6 mini-cupcakes dispersed throughout breafast-ish hours? Because I did. And if cupcakes bring you as much happiness as they do me, and a happiness-making song comes on the radio while you're simultaneously driving, your risk of cupcake-induced wreck increases by 36%. I was running errands in the area when I remembered Cupprimo. Lackluster first experience aside, I had been meaning to give them another try. Breakfast of champions varies person to person, but cupcakes are at the top of my list. I needed sugar/fuel if I was going to make it after a ridiculously late night. In order to make a balanced update, I took the $5 offer for 6 mini-cupcakes instead of a single large one. What a good investment. I understand minis bake differently, but these little cuties were good and hopefully faithful adaptations of their larger counterparts. They became especially delectable the longer they sat in the car between stops. In favorites order: red velvet, brownie, carrot, strawberry (plus two were repeats equals 6). Gooey, moist, sprinkled with love and Easter Bunnies and Tooth Fairies and all the wholesomeness of youth. Delicious in overly sweet bite-size doses. Brilliant. read more

now I did not try the coffee. But for the quality of the cupcakes it was sub par for a shop like this. Cake was bland and would have been better from a mix. The Girls behind the counter where unfriendly and they mis charged me twice. The first time to much and the second to little. Then I was given looks for trying to pay the correct amount. Should have just waited to be closer to a Hey cupcake. Don't know what the rest of these reviews are about. to answer the owners comment. She must have taken offense to a review. boo hoo. awkward....for a shop like what? ( a shop that sells cupcakes) and what exactly did you try? (strawberry, best thing about it was the fresh strawberry on top. Raspberry chocolate, cake was bland and as stated could have been better from a mix.Raspberry filling tasted like basic cheap cisco or northland crap. Black and White, boring and uninspired especially the icing. Something vanilla, took one bite and stopped. Did not even try the Red velvet. Figured enough was enough and tossed them out). Today's case rocked out...and we sold out also. (crack dealers sell out and so does Mcdonalds that does not mean any of the above is quality.) The staff does not remember you being in... (Well that does not surprise me. They were to busy gossiping to say anything to me when I walked in, same with the next person that came in while I was there.) Yeah I posted it here so even if she removes her comment you all can have the pleasure. read more

I am on the fence about this review. The cupcakes are absolutely four star delicious; but, the service is less than stellar. I've been coming here for years now and almost wrote them a very negative review due to the last online Deal. When I called on Friday to redeem my coupon for a dozen cupcakes on Saturday for a party, they were too busy to take my cupcake order, but wouldn't give me an extension to redeem my Groupon--my groupon expired that Tuesday. I would have to get my cupcakes on Tuesday. Who needs a dozen cupcakes on Tuesday? I feel like they could have provided an extension because they couldn't fulfill their part. In any case, I really like the cupcakes here and have been back since the negative experience. I love the mini cupcake variety and havent had a bad one yet. The cupcakes are beautifully presented. The cream cheese icing is not too sweet and the cakes are moist, not oily. Aside from the coupon experience, my only complaint is that the service is a little slow. There is usually only one employee and if the person ahead of you is ordering a fancy drink it could be a bit of a wait. read more

I looooooooove cupcakes; You can't feel guilty eating a mini cake, right? However, this experience was just "UGH!". We entered about 45 minutes before closing on April 21st, but the place looked cleaned and ready to shut down. This isn't really a problem until the employee that serves us ends up being rude and callous. To put the icing on the cake (haha! I love puns!), the cupcake (mine and my friend's) was drier than the grand canyon. I'm guessing the baker works Monday through Friday. Such a bummer because I really wanted a scrumdiddlyumptious snack. read more

It took me a long time to willfully award Cupprimo five stars, but they finally managed to impress me to that point. The fact that it took them so long to get there is why I took away a star. I'm a stinker, aren't I? Tried out Cupprimo right after they opened, and I wasn't at all impressed. I have no memory of what I drank, but I clearly thought Starfucks did it better, and that's really saying something. Then I stopped at Cupprimo a few times last summer (2009) during my daily neighborhood speed-walk. I was slightly more impressed with their coffee drinks, but not impressed enough to write a review. Finally, I went back a couple of months ago and tried a mocha frappe. That thing sent me into orbit. I found myself going back every day to get one, to the point where I became Mayor of Cupprimo on FourSquare. Don't worry, I know how pathetic that is. I later discovered the Black & White, and I plan to have many more of those as the temperature drops. My addiction alone garners Cupprimo five stars, but the fact that it took them over two years to make me something I actually like means they lose a star. As far as cupcakes, I've tried a couple, mainly thanks to Errol M. I don't know what his deal is with cupcakes, but he's always trying to get me to eat them. I really hate him for that. I'll plop my soon-to-be-fat ass down on his face and suffocate him if he's not careful. Thank god he's on a diet now. At any rate, I was all prepared to give their cupcakes 3.5 stars until the other day when I stopped over there on my own and bought a brownie cupcake. I tucked it away in the fridge to enjoy the next day, and enjoy it I did. A brownie cupcake, folks. Brownie. I sunk my teeth into the crisp edges and couldn't stop masticating in orgasmic delight. And then I discovered chocolate chips in the batter. Oh, holy fuck! And THEN, I discovered a chocolate fudge filling inside. I felt like I'd hit the jackpot in Vegas. Where's my million dollars? The vanilla icing on the cupcake was too fake and store-bought tasting, so that went into the garbage where it belonged. The rest of the cupcake had me singing part of a Billy Joel song: I don't need you to worry for me on my coffee break. I don't want you to tell me it's time to go home. I don't care what you say anymore; this is my cake. Go ahead, get your own cake; leave mine alone. I never said you had to offer me a second treat. I never said I was a victim of Sweet Repeat. My craving's strong, Don't get me wrong. You can have some cake, But not from my plate. ["My Life" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85sIJcC8zbs] read more

Cupprimo, supreme-o, you are a dream, oh! I love your carbos. Did you know that it is possible to make a gluten-free cupcake moist? I didn't, until now. Wow. They sell regular cupcakes, but offer one type of gluten-free cupcake per day. It alternates between chocolate and red velvet (which just happens to be two of my favorite flavors). I tried the red velvet cake this weekend and it was delicious - intoxicatingly so. Here's another place with gluten-free options - things are getting better every day for us gluten-free types! They also have pretty good lattes. They are a cute little shop located in a not so cute strip center that needs some TLC. But don't let that stop you - it is worth the trip. I'm going back as soon as I give my carb-watching another break. read more

Bought these 12 mini-cupcakes because of a coupon with LivingSocial.com, I guess I had a bad order because my cupcakes were awful. They were not soft and they tasted a little old. Pretty disappointed, do not recommend this place The order was quite a hassle and I guess I was getting the short end of the stick today but the lady was rude and pretty awful. read more

I think the line that pops up with 2 stars 'meh' sums it up pretty well. I was up in the shopping center ordering a cake for an upcoming birthday. I saw the cupcake place, and decided I had to try it. Now, when I came in, I politely waited for about 5 minutes until I started saying "umm.. hi... Hi.... HI" to get the persons attention in the back. She didn't hear me come in and was too engrossed in cleaning whatever it was she was cleaning to notice me standing there. That said, when she served me, she was extremely polite and apologetic about not hearing me come in so I was pretty okay with it. Unfortunately, the cupcakes were not very good. I got a chocolate one and a vanilla one. I originally got one for me and the other for the husband. He wanted to try both, so I got out my cake leverer and used it to neatly bisect them in half so we each got a side. I tried the vanilla first. The only one in the house that finished it was the dog and she wasn't all that thrilled by it. I tried it and found it to be dry and almost stale tasting. The husband (who I sometimes think has cake batter instead of blood in his veins) took a bite and looked at me accusingly and said "were these refrigerated because they taste like it...." I left them out to warm to room temperature at the house, but the store did have them in a cooled display case. We both left most of it on the plate and that says alot about how it tasted. Now, onto the chocolate. The chocolate cake part was a million times better than the vanilla. It was more moist and flavorful. However, it fell down on the frosting. It was overly sweet to the point of being inedible. I like rich chocolate. This tasted like SUGAR SUGAR SUGAR that had a one night stand with a cocoa bean but didn't really want to commit. Overall, I was disappointed. I had high hopes but I'm not planning on returning. read more

I was really hoping this place would be as great as I heard as it's so close to a lot of restaurant establishments I frequent. much like many cupcakeries, I was disappointed. I tried both the pumpkin chocolate chip (pumpkin's my favorite, so I ready for this to be super delicious) along with the red velvet. unfortunately, neither one of these cupcakes made the mark. both were dry & needed more flavor. on top of that, there was a fly in the display case. yuck. sorry to say I won't be back to visit this cupcakery. read more

My company was having an event and we wanted to get special cupcakes made. This place was near my job so I thought I would give them a try. I wish I had time to read more reviews before I ordered. I will say that everyone I spoke to was super nice they had great customer service. There were two main things that bothered me about this place. When I called to place the order I told the lady on the phone that we wanted our cupcakes to have designs in them. For our event. She assured me that they could do that. However when I picked them up they didn't have any kind of special design just like flags in the cupcakes with a bad print out of the logo of the event we were hosting. The other thing was just like other Yelpers said the cupcakes were super dry and too much icing. I don't plan on ordering from them again.... read more

Seriously? I wasn't feeling the cupcake experience. I guess I subscribe to the theory that if you're going to call yourself a "Cupcakery", you really need to sell it all the way. Every bakery should be crisp and clean and clutter-free. A "Cupcakery" should highlight what it sells. And if you're charging $2-3 for a single cupcake, consider it a piece of art. It should *look* as good as it tastes. Presentation. Presentation. Presentation. Each customer should feel as though they were receiving something special and exciting that you created just for them. Show your customers how thankful you are to have them. Instead, we get barely half-assed presentation by not-so-friendly employees. Kind of like throwing slop to the pigs. There is so much not going on here that I'm left wondering, "At what point did the owner give up?" read more

It's a good cupcake with some creative choices depending on the day you stop by. Way way better than the hydrogenated Duncan Heinz crap your mom used to make. I have to dock two stars though because of the disturbing canvas photos (purchased on Groupon) that adorn the walls. There's some weird crazy happy 50s style family enjoying cupcakes like it's the bees knees. I mean yeah cupcakes are good but it's not like it's get you as high as ecstasy or heroin, like the photos purport. It's a cake you eat in 10 seconds and the joy lasts about 30 seconds before you realize, damn I'll be paying for that. I'll be back to Cupprimo but next time I'm taking my order to go. read more

Really bad cupcakes. Dry and flavorless. Just my opinion, and I am a baked goods snob. But you might believe me anyway. We had the little taster ones so I can see them being drier than the big ones, but why would the store even make those if they're going to be bad? We came there on a Saturday night, so that may have been why they were dry, but see the last sentence. Why do cupcakes made from a cheap box mix taste better and moister than the cupcakes I've had around town? Surely, surely, a place that specializes in cupcakes can have good cupcakes, right...? I did like the pumpkin cupcake with cream cheese frosting and big chunks of dark chocolate. But how can you mess up pumpkin bread? Maybe if they put pumpkin in the other cupcakes, they would be moist too. Kidding about that, but what about putting in apple sauce or something? I love that there's a little dessert place around the corner from me. I gave them an extra star for being nearby where I live and for being open late, making it a nice evening coffee spot--and they do serve a variety of coffee, which I can't speak for because I don't drink coffee. But since their specialty is cupcakes and they do that terribly (at least from the taster ones we had), I had to score them low. I did like the hot chocolate, because it was made from a Ghiradelli syrup--a good choice. read more

I'm sorry to say I thought the cupcakes were dry! I tried the Black and White and the Primo Vanilla. I can tell they use vanilla bean in their frosting, so they get props for that, but I won't be going back. The woman behind the counter was friendly, but I've just had better cupcakes. The plus side is that the cupcakes are only $2.75 and they're pretty big read more

A nice little neighborhood coffee place. I had a free mini carrot cupcake (thanks to Yelp!) that was very good. Just the right size to momentarily satisfy that sweet tooth and get you going for lunch. I ordered a caramel frappe with whipped cream. The caramel flavor was light and delicious, with drizzles of caramel. The two young ladies behind the counter were friendly and informative about what they had. This business warrants a return visit when I'm in the area again. read more

I had a two great experiences recently at Cupprimo and both times the staff members were courteous and friendly. Is it in an ugly shopping center? Yes. But do you know what 2 other little gems are in that ugly shopping center? None other than Chen's Noodle House and Asia Cafe. I discovered Cupprimo quite by accident one morning. The wife wanted Chen's and I just needed coffee desperately. In fact, I don't think it was even safe for me to drive all the way up there without it! She walked over to Chen's and I walked over to Cupprimo after calculating chances were good that I could get a nice cup of joe there. The dark haired girl with bangs was friendly and more than happy to assist me with my small order. The cupcakes caught my eye immediately, but as I wasn't really hungry yet, I just window shopped. They looked stunning. I can honestly say I have never been to any cupcake shop or trailer. Wanted to try a place since they are so popular. Cupprimo's Heath Bar cupcake sounded amazing! I made a mental note to return the next time I needed dessert after Chen's. And return soon I did. Actually the very next week when I was getting my oil changed nearby. I walked in ready to order the Heath, but they only make certain cupcakes on certain days. I was more than happy with a double fudge and a vanilla. And obviously another large coffee. I concluded the owner was working the counter that day. Blonde lady, very friendly and more than happy talk about her delicious cupcakes! Which is how I learned they have different cupcakes on different days. They can probably give you a schedule! How were the cupcakes? Well large! And yummy! Probably the largest cupcakes I have ever eaten. No they weren't dry, nor did they fall apart. There is mucho tasty and creamy frosting on them that's just enjoyable to either lick off or eat through. Next time I am at Chen's, we will definitely be visiting here for a little dessert. The decor was simple, yet nice and clean. I really liked the family photography on the walls. I think it must have been her and her kids with cupcakes in the multiple blown-up photographs. It's a nice little business and something she is obviously proud of doing! read more

The first time I came here I had a blue velvet cupcake and it was divine, it was a rich dark blue and super moist and delicious. I remember I went on a Monday so I went after work today because I was craving one. No one makes blue velvet and this place does that's what makes it unique. So I called ahead of time and made sure they had plenty available she told me they had a lot in both the regular and mini size. When I got there they had no blue velvet in the mini size ok fine no big deal. So I was gonna get some larger cupcakes. Well I stood there for 5 minutes without being acknowledged by the cashier at all, like not even a hi. She had a "I hate my life and job look on her face while she was making another customers coffee." I left. I can't stand when an employee just doesn't even care to say hi. You know I walked in, you looked directly at me and ignored me. You are never too busy to at least say hi, your job is not that hard and if you don't like your job then quit. Don't make the customers suffer. The cupcakes seemed to portray her attitude as they were over cooked, seriously cracked all on top and a sickly green color not blue at all. I think I will stick to Gigi 's or Be My Cupcake. At least they interact with me. read more

Nice set up inside. I wasn't crazy at all about the cupcake.I had a strawberry one. It was cold as if it was not fresh, even though I got there pretty early, and the frosting was super thick and too much for my licking! The women who greeted me was friendly. read more

Maybe I just like my own cooking. Or maybe I'm just so "over" cupcakes. Either way, this place doesn't convince me that the $3 cupcake craze is justified. Have tried most of the places in town and still think my homemade ones are better. And save about $30 bucks by making them. I got a Neopolitan cupcake, since I couldn't decide. The presentation was fabulous, but execution was blah. Not especially moist. Icing was flavorless. Any real butter in there? Sweet and not much else. Not worth the calories. One of the stars is for the clerk. She was friendly and chatty. Added a nice, personable touch to my day, which is priceless. My research is complete on the Cupcake war. Make time for homemade or pass. Besides, my pants are gettin' too tight. read more

I've tried writing this review over and over, erasing what I had typed, constantly being reminded by Yelp to finish my review already, and suffering from reviewer's block. I can't be as funny as Don P. or have a witty review like Errol M. I wish I could say these cupcakes were as good as, if not better than sex like Gabriel H., but sadly these pretty little cupcakes didn't even make it to first base with me. The cupcakes look delicious in the display case, mouth watering to the eye..just not to my mouth. I was sold on the Chocolate Hazelnut (CH) because nice, helper lady mentioned there was Nutella filling in it. I also got a Carrot Cake (CC) cupcake because I could practically eat cream cheese frosting by the spoonfuls and be perfectly content. Both cupcakes were kind of on the dry side. Like almost tasting a day old or not enough butter/oil/applesauce/fill in the blank. I expected CH to be oozing with Nutella filling, but it wasn't. I detected hints of it in the middle, just not as ooey gooey as I had built up in my head. I will say the chocolate cupcake part, near the Nutella filling was moister, but not the outsides of the cupcake. The frosting was the biggest let down. Both were kind of pasty, not creamy. One would think cream cheese frosting on CC would be creamy, smooth, and glistening to the eye, but it was pretty pasty much like hazelnut frosting on CH. I do have to give props to the ladies that greeted and helped me. They were extra welcoming and helpful. A pleasant customer to cashier experience no doubt. Now the cupcakes themselves, they just left me kind of sad. A very brief infatuation or minor crush that quickly fizzled upon first bite. *sigh* 2 stars on the cupcakes and 1 for the service. I can't say if I'll be back since this particular area is on my "rarely visit" list. However, I could be enticed by that Yelp Chai Frap offer I am just now noticing? I was too blind sided by the attractive looks of the cupcakes to even notice the coffee and tea selection! Possible chance for a rebound? maybe. read more

I pulled into this plaza with the intention of going to Big Lots for Back-to-School Supplies. Instead I find the insane hodegepodge of services that can be found in this strip mall- asian markets, dollar general, jui jitsu, bubble tea, vintage boutique, etc etc. Saw the "cupcakery" sign from across the parking lot and made my way over. I split the Heath Bar with my husband. The chocolate cake was a little dry, but there was a tasty glob of caramel in the middle. There was a ton of frosting with heath bars crumbled over the top. We also ate a teeny strawberry- again dry cake, yummy frosting. It's worth a try, maybe earlier in the morning for fresher cake? read more

I did something really creepy today. I've been enjoying the (very limited but still appreciated) gluten free options they have available, but I've been dying to know how the rest taste. The GF red velvet is to die for and the GF chocolate on chocolate is good for chocolate (I don't like chocolate cake?), but I would give anything to get some of that snickerdoodle cupcake in my mouth. And I don't want to admit how much I'd debase myself for a bite of the razzle dazzle cupcake. So I bought a bunch of cupcakes for my coworkers and made them eat their treats in my office. While I watched. And made them describe everything about what they were eating. Considering I've been here for two weeks, it was a ballsy move but it paid off. Not only did every single person rave about what they were eating, but I'm now everyone's favorite coworker. Crowd favorites were razzle dazzle (I knew it!!), creme de menthe, and brown chicken brown cow. Thanks, Cupprimo! read more

Mmmm... We are still chipping away at the 2 dozen cupcakes we score last Saturday morning for $10 a pop! Early Saturday morning they posted on FB that "we have 5 dozen cupcakes that were jacked up" so they were selling them at $10 a dozen.. WELL, the early bird DOES catch the worm, because I called and wasn't sure how it was going to go down.. but the woman on the other end was SO friendly, and so happy to put my name on 2 orders & said "we go by the honor system, so just let me know when you think you're coming".. I was on my way! It was my 1st time hitting up Cupprimo, and I was just waiting for the opportunity to get over that way, and take advantage.. Score!!!!! I have a dozen chocolate w/ chocolate & they are MOIST and delicious. They are sweet, oh so thick and rich, but the moistness of the cupcake definitely is a plus!! I also have a dozen of the white cake with vanilla icing, and surprisingly, my family isn't too thrilled. They are vanilla junkies, I'm the choco-holic, but they think they are a bit too sweet, and the cake is just a tad dry. Don't get me wrong.. they're GETTIN eaten!! LOL But, for $20, it was a steal, and well worth it. I also ordered a separate cupcake because I love a good red velvet, and where it was MUCH better than Hey Cupcake RV, it wasn't anything Id go running back for either. A tad dryer and denser than I wanted, and ultra rich on the icing. So, I'm dying to try other flavors and other frosting, but that chocolate on chocolate is a winner! read more
