See all

I love cupcakes and have tried them from many places, including from old school bakeries and some of the well known cupcake shops in the city, but these are the BEST I have ever had. Amazing flavor selection, moist cake, and perfect ratio of cake to frosting. Very friendly service as well. Great place!! read more

Ok, this review might be a little premature since I didn't get my party platter yet but the experience I had when placing the order was as close to perfect as humanly possible. The staff was patient, helpful and super polite while I made my selections - there were a lot of favors to choose from so it took a while. They committed to having the order ready when I needed it, even though it was pretty short notice. And before I left, I tasted one of the toasted coconut cupcakes and it was AMAZING. Not good, AMAZING. I look forward to getting the full order. read more

We've driven past this bakery dozens of times. Finally decided to give the place a try. Walking through the door reminded me of home, of how my mom used to bake cakes and that sweet fragrance would fill the room. Very cozy place. Ok, the cupcakes. Phenomenal. Delicious. Absolutely the best tasting cupcakes....because we bought six...ever. Hmmm, my hubby and I both had Chocolate Velvet.....delightful! So I asked the young man behind the counter what is a Chocolate Velvet cupcake? He said it's their take on Red Velvet minus the red food coloring. The cake was moist and not killer sweet, the icing fresh, light, and not too sweet either. Also bought a few more chocolate varieties and a lemon one. They're sooo good. I'm loving the absence of food coloring. Spent what I would've at any other gourmet cupcake bakery. Most definitely will be back.... read more

Best place ever! I have been ordering cupcakes from the owners from before they even had this place in Maplewood back then they delivered to my home during the holidays. I have to admit they are the friendliest and they truly passionate about their cupcakes and not to mention the great variety of cupcakes and how tasty they are. If you are having a party, event, wedding, whatever it may be you should get your cupcakes here. Try it you will never regret it! read more

Love gigis cupcakes they taste delicious, 4 star because wish they had more locations, but other than that its a friendly place with a good environment. Loved it and definitely will be back for some cupcakes. The best cupcakes I have ever tried. Thank you Gigis cupcake for being awesome and delicious!! read more

Gigi's cupcakes are truly fresh and delicious. The people that work there are also super friendly. The entire experience its just amazing! 100% recommended! read more

When is Gigi's cupcakes coming to NY?? Jersey is a far hike for my banana nutella addiction! None the less, well worth it. Great selections with real flavors. The cupcake is perfectly moist with great flavor & the icing is the perfect balance of sweet. Icing to cupcake ratio is spot on too. There are tons of cupcakes spot in NY and I'll take this New Jersey gem any day! read more

So after watching "Undercover Boss" do a show about Gigi's Cupcakes, I was eager to try after seeing what a great woman the C.E.O. of the company is & what great care & quality they put into their product. HOWEVER, This place in Maplewood, NJ is a KNOCK-OFF third rate "Fakery" using the REAL Gigi's Cupcakes name and logo. Cupcakes were ALL frosting, overly sweet & WAY too dry. Cost me a small fortune to get lied to, fed crap, and get ripped off. The employee told me that not all cupcakes are baked fresh, "Only the popular ones" she said. Really? Good luck staying in business. The REAL Gigi needs to do something about this sham of a shop! BUYER BEWARE! read more

Hands down, the best bakery in the Union/Essex County area. I can't even choose my favorite - from banana to cookie dough to cannoli to black velvet - the options are endless and never cease to impress me. read more

I passed by here on 3/6/13 had my husband run in since someone i know had heard these cupcakes were good... Well idk if I had the wrong cupcake but I had a standard vanilla cupcake and the icing was so thick that I picked it up and dumped it in the tray... no residue left on my fingers because the icing was that thick... I was very disappointed! No way this was a fresh batch with that "icing". My husband had the Elvis cupcake which consisted of peanut butter and this had a nice consistency creamy icing but not worth the $7 for 2 cupcakes! The cake portion of the cupcake was standard with a nice dome top with fresh vanilla bean as an ingredient but again if the icing is off the cupcake is off... I called my friend who recommended it to me and told her she owed me $7! I'm a baker myself and there is no way I would serve that vanilla cream to a customer! I hope it was an error because that was not pleasant at all! My husband offered to take it back but we had already left... Maybe it was just a bad day I would be wiling to give Gigi another try but boy oh boy I'm gonna have to talk to them before I do... read more

I live in NY, We are very LUCKY to know GIgi personally, and believe me, she puts love in every cupcake, anyway, not reason for my review. She brings me and my family cupcakes every time she comes to NY for a visit, the cupcakes are amazing. They NEVER last more than an hour in my house. Unfortunately, here we only have bakery's which have premaid or so it seems frosting, which is so full of crunchy sugar I never buy twice. Gigi has either totally spoiled my family with the most amazing cupcakes we ever had, peanut butter being our fav, or the bakery's here need to step it up, and add more love in there baking. read more

Recently tried their special St. Patrick's Day cupcakes - the frosting was out of this world good and the cake part was moist as usual - sooo good!. This place continues to reign as the #1 cupcake place I've ever tried - you can taste the quality. read more

I recently ordered an amazing Pull-Apart Cake in the Shape of a #1 for my Goddaughter's first birthday from Gigi!! She worked patiently with me to ensure I had the best flavors (all so tasty!) and a timely delivery. Definitely order from her if you're in the area!! read more

Customer service is amazing! The place is beautiful. Cupcakes are ALWAYS fresh and delicious. I love coming here and highly recommend this place to everyone!! read more

The cupcakes are outstanding, shop is cute, packaging is lovely and staff is superb. You name a cupcake shop in the tri-state area and I've tried it, so this praise is not easily earned. While the regular size are good, the minis are where it's really at for me. They are substantial (not wimpy little specks like Melissa's) and have just the right amount of flavor and moistness. Plus, you get a chance to try every variety! Current favorite: samoas! Also, a note about the staff: I was helped by a woman who I later found out was Gigi herself. She wasn't just professional, but warm and welcoming and made me happy to give her my money. read more

Very friendly. Stopped by for last minute cupcakes for a birthday celebration and they were very friendly and helpful!

BEST cupcakes ever and the mini cupcakes let you taste a variety of combos without going over your limit! The ladies who own / run the shop are sweeter than their cupcakes and very accommodating. I've been buying (and eating) Gigi's cupcakes since "I" discovered them giving out samples at a Westfield Street fair many years ago. So glad they have a brick and mortar shop now. Best wishes to them! read more

Add me to the converted doubters. I was surprised to find out that this is a chain--the cupcakes are insanely good. The cake is very moist, and I could tell that they use lemon oil in their lemon frosting, which makes it not so sickeningly sweet, and is indicative of choosing quality products. Plenty of delicious flavors, not one dud in the batch yet....guess I'll have to keep tasting! read more

"Help spread cupcake love". Cuptrepenure-Gigi!

This is my favorite cupcake shop in north jersey! They made an assortment for my shower and I've been coming here periodically for years. They are all delicious. I love the mini option! And, they are really, really nice. read more

Maplewood is lucky to have the best cupcake bakery in the tristate area! Most times you will find a bakery does great with the frosting but the cake is dry, or the cake is delicious but the frosting too sweet, etc. -- not so with Gigi's. Perfect, moist cake and rich frostings, all in interesting flavors. My favorites are the Elvis (PB & banana), Red Velvet, and Orange. No pricier than any other cupcakery. It would be better for my waistline if they were a little farther away from my house... read more

The best of the best! Never had one I didn't like. Trying to get through them all! ha Worth a trip from anywhere!

Was having a Sprinkle for my daughter. I sent Gigi a picture of what we wanted and thankfully even with the all natural and organic ingredients policy, they made me a beautiful cake! Thanks Gigi! read more

This is my new favorite cupcake spot. ESPECIALLY because they have great gluten free cupcakes. The cake is always moist and delicious. The frosting's are amazing. The shop is super cute and everyone is so nice. Met Gigi herself. What a nice person! Love to support small, local businesses that appreciate their customers. read more

Had a "fancy" dinner party this weekend and had only Gigi cupcakes for the dessert. I recommend getting dozens of the minis and many Gigi pops too. I knew the women would be into them, but the guys were like sharks over the cupcakes too! They looks great on the table, but the sophisticated flavors were the big hit. Tiramisu, cheesecake, etc. Super moist, icing fantastic. Great for grown-up party dessert (no one wants to sit down to big cakes anymore - little bites much easier for everyone.) Big hit - I will use them again. read more

From the moment we walked in the door, the cashier was super sweet just like their cupcakes! I said i would come back even before i tried the cupcakes solely because of how i was treated. The cupcakes are amazing, we had a hard time choosing a favorite one! We have to go back and try them all. read more

So I have been here more times than I care to admit to, good days, bad days, moments to celebrate, moments to remember. I love going to a place where your money and presence are valued. I walk in its a friendly 'Hey Pam!' School events, girls nite out, baby showers, wedding rehearsal parties, my daughters 'just because 'parties...whatever... GiGi's is my place. I have tried other places but my heart belongs to them... the minis make me feel less guilty :) Keep up the great work girls! read more

My family and I absolutely LOVE this place!!! They have so many flavors to choose from, that you actually need to get a (few) dozen minis just to decide!!! I haven't tried one I haven't loved yet, even the Pina Colada which I was admittedly skeptical about!! It was amazing!!!! My kids love the extremely awesome "Gigi pops" which are easily slipped into lunchbags, and great for the beach because the container keeps the sand out! we put them in a lunch bag in our cooler to keep them cool and not too humid! The atmosphere is happy and adorable! The only real thing to remember is that since everything is made the same day, if you're going to place a large order (thinking parties) you probably need to give them advanced notice like a day or 2 =) read more

Stopped by here a few days ago to get a mini pack for my daughter. Shop is clean and folks are super friendly. Cupcakes were fresh. Pricing was on par with other bakeries. My daughter enjoyed them and the fact they were the mini version fit perfectly in her hand. Would recommend and buy more in the future. read more

My daughter is obsessed with cupcakes and so I often journey wherever we are to find the best cupcakes out there. We used to live in NYC and have eaten all the supposedly best cupcakes there. We have been to the west coast, down South, down East and BY FAR THE BEST CUPCAKE OUT THERE IS GIGI's!! By far! What make their cupcakes the best is 1- their cupcakes are so flavorful and MOIST! Most bakeries may have delicious and unique icings- but often are so disappointing because the cupcake itself is dry, stale and just flat out NOT GOOD!!' 2- Gigi's flavored icings are amazing! The Nutella one is just to die for and the banana cupcake with it is simply delicious. My kids often say it's like eating a Nutella/banana crepe. And today I just had the pleasure of having their Mango cupcake where the cupcake is coconut with some hints of mangoes!! WOW! So they ship everywhere so if you truly want to have the BEST CUPCAKE WITH THE MOST FLAVORFUL ICINGS-- go to GIGI'S or order online! You will NOT be disappointed! read more
