I don't envy a place like Grace and Shelly's. They've got a tough job, trying to balance creativity with senior citizen appeal. Naples is tricky like that. There's a ton of foot traffic (hence, restaurants and desserteries), and that foot traffic is in a money-spending mood. But the snow bird lot has their tastes set in stone, more or less, and many of them would shy away from an abundance of craziness from the local cupcake concern. As such, Grace and Shelly's needs to walk a fine line between being innovative and being too far out there. And they succeed. They have a wealth of varieties that showcase classic flavors (carrot cake with a whipped cream cheese frosting) and just-a-little-whimsical items (Butterfinger cupcake, as an example). I recommend Grace and Shelly's as a baked goods alternative to the wealth of ice cream, gelato and fro-yo options on 5th Avenue. read more

We bought a variety pack to take home and they were delicious. If you are on 5th avenue it's worth taking a variety pack to go - it's perfect to share. Lots of great flavors! read more

Lovely little cupcake shop. We thought there was a location closer to the mall but I think this may be the only one. Decorated very nice, really cool floors, light colors, greasy location, and modern looking. Friendly staff. Now to the cup cakes!!! DELICIOUS! Just amazing! We bought 6 large cupcakes and the minis. Spent about $36. The first one I tried was a pineapple upside down cake. The chunks of pineapple and cherry in the cake made it over the top. Then I tried a mini red velvet. Very moist cake. The frosting wasn't overly sweet. If you have a Florida ID, you get a free cupcake with the purchase of 3. read more

They wouldn't give us a sample because of Covid apparently they can't do that. Which I find as a lazy excuse to not help out your customers. The service was definitely not great, ice cream i really good enjoyed the red velvet cupcake but she recommended the brown sugar which was terrible and she wouldn't replace it with another! read more

I highly recommend the cupcakes; however one person to wait on Saturday night traffic on 5th S in Naples is not good customer service.

Our favorite cupcakes in Naples. The frosting is silky, buttery and delicious. Cake is moist with a great crumb.

One of my favorite places on 5th. I avoid most popular places in Naples on holiday weekends as they are overcrowded with east-coast people. Good lord why are they so unpleasant and rude I have friends visiting, we decided to go to 5th for a walk and stoped at Grace and Shelly's for ice cream. That place was packed at 9:55pm on a Saturday night. People were so rude, loud and unpleasant. I have no idea how the person serving us keep a smile on his face and keep working as quickly as possible to accommodate a bunch of indecisive A..holes. Thank you Grace and Shelly's and staff for doing an amazing job. I will be back for my favorite cupcake and ice cream after season ;) read more

Seriously fantastic ice cream! I had the cookie dough. My son got the medium chocolate milkshake. He said it was the best he had ever had (16 year old chocolate expert). It better be for $10.95. My other son said his rocky road was good - he doesn't get it often to really compare as he admitted himself. Nice way to finish an evening on 5th. read more

Grace & Shelly's made AMAZING cupcakes for my friend's bachelorette. It was a perfect assortment of flavors and they were incredibly beautiful and equally delicious. read more

I wish there was a way to give no stars cause this place deserves none... No no no flavor no taste not even moist I can make better cupcakes then this, save your money and your time there's better desserts on Fifth Avenue, like Wynn's They are very pricey for what you get for price I I give them 10 dollar sings for being pricy ULTRA HIGH END WITH NO TASTE!!!!!!LLL!LLL read more

Such fun flavor combinations! What a cute shop! Everything about this cupcake shop was poising itself to be one of the highlights of my Naples trip. Their frosting was one of the best ones I've ever had. So rich and creamy! If I were basing this review on that, it would be a 5! Sadly, the cupcake itself was devastatingly dry. It was a group of 4 of us and each of us tried a different flavor... and each one of us was met with a brick under delicious frosting. read more

PERSONALLY ONLY TASTED THE GLUTEN-FREE CUPCAKES These are the only items I've had over several visits. They don't make too many and have definitely run out by early afternoon. While the flavor is great and (very) cute-ly decorated, these Cakes are pretty dense and only mildly moist inside (however that's a common difficulty in GF pastries with difficult solutions ). Not the freshest tasting... I assume from only having a limited number made each time and not enough potential customers. BUT GOOD LOCATION, SERVICE, CHILL SPOT Prices for everything are great especially for being in Downtown Naples. Although I haven't tried, the Ice Cream looks pretty good. My family has had the regular Cupcakes and claim them to be fluffy and moist without being overly sweet. The guy behind the counter has been overly sweet in being apologetic if anything had run out, to being happy to answer any questions I had. read more

I had the raspberry cheesecake cupcake, the breading was dry, but the icing was ok. Wife had Boston cream, it had very little cream inside. If looking for a moist cupcake look elsewhere. read more

So much yum. Their ice creams and cupcakes are delicious! Death by peanut butter is no lie!

Super friendly store manager. Nice feel with seating indoor and outdoor. Enjoyed both cupcake and ice cream. Cupcakes made onsite homemade ice cream made locally at other place down the street. They do also have coffee and tea. Would recommend and will be back when in area again read more

The low score comes from disappointments. The cupcakes and the ice creams offer hardly more than what is the least amount of expected deliverable. Service is very uneven. Portions vary between staff and days. This is clearly a staffing and management problem that remains unsolved. The place used to be quite interesting and exciting - when it comes to cupcakes in Naples, FL - but without rethinking what's gaining momentum elsewhere, the place will soon offer an empty storefront to someone else. read more

red velvet cupcake was OK. nothing i would rave about. my husband enjoyed the pistachio ice cream which was $4.50 for one scoop. the lady who served us was not very friendly or chatty. she was nothing like the flower-on-the-headband-tu-tu-wearing-over-enthusiastic bakers you see in cupcake wars . read more

Grace and Shelly's Cupcakes - nice outdoor seating - Desserts Near Me - Naples, Florida

I always have a lot of fun here. The French buttercream is my favorite and all of the cupcakes that I have tried have been scrumptious. I'm not a big fan of the vanilla icing, but I don't tend to like that, in general. I have a been coming here for almost 10 years, and I am always excited to get my sugar fix. If you are in Naples, check it out. It's a little off the beaten path, but it's well worth seeking out. read more

I can't comment on the cupcakes, since I have only tried the ice cream here. I stopped by the other day for a refreshing treat and tried their flavor of the month, which in March was "Bake Sale". It was a cookie dough flavor with chunks of brownie and cheesecake, it was delicious. I was able to sample the toasted coconut and mocha flavors, which were also very good. read more

My partner and I visited Grace & Shelly's cupcakes for an ice cream date about a week ago. The cashiers were both friendly, helpful and swift. The ice cream was delicious. We (my partner and I) then went for a walk. About 15 minutes later, he realized he did not have his wallet. As we began retracing our steps, one of the cashiers came outside the store to signal for our attention. They had not only held onto his wallet for him, but had also placed his debit card back into his wallet. Their kindness, honesty and help were beautiful signs of human thoughtfulness on a trying day. I took a picture of the sign specifically to write favorable reviews based on this experience. I do not recall their names. But both young ladies looked like teenagers. One was brown. One was white. If they may be identified and rewarded by this company, they absolutely deserve it. We will revisit G&S in the future and share this experience. read more

These are hands-down the best cupcakes I've ever had. Had the chocolate cupcake with mint chocolate chip icing and snowball cupcake. We actually brought them home to Philly with us. If we lived closer I would be in trouble... read more

The cupcakes where ok. Nothing out of this world. They didn't have much favor and they were dry not moist. They look very cute but lack flavor. They had ice cream and these cool cones made out of different cookies but we didn't try the ice cream nor the cones. I have them 2 star but I would not come back here. read more

I use to love this place, it was a staple for me and fiancé he would always take me here whenever I needed a pick me up and get me their cupcakes, when we got engaged the one thing I wanted to make sure we had was their cupcakes catered at our wedding, it has been like pulling teeth trying to even speak with someone in charge over there. The owner Sonja is blowing me off I have emailed her multiple times have given her my number and have requested with to have a meeting with her since she was impossible to get a hold of her. He told me yes he could and would call me back with a date and time and I still haven't heard back and it has been over a week since. It's a huge shame because they could have made a good amount of money and business but they obviously don't care about their customers . It's a huge shame. read more

This is cute little place on 5th Avenue that is conveniently located for you to visit when you are taking a stroll there. We had 3 different flavors including Dark Chocolate with a heavenly ganache, chocolate with a strawberry cupcake and a salted caramel cupcake. The cupcakes were freshly made too which was awesome. read more

Good cupcakes. Went late and they were close to selling out but what they had left was worth it.

Dear Grace And Shelly, Disappointed I didn't get to meet you guys to thank you for the cupcakes. Me and My friend, Butch, were created by a man who was large and in charge. We were welcomed warmly and were treated with appreciation. I was touched by the excellent customer service. After a long and labor-intensive process, we decided to choose the TRIPLE-CHOCOLATE CUPCAKE, along with a Dasani bottled water. I may or may not have forced Butch to drink it. I forget. We sat outside, in the humid heat, forcing ourselves to suffer without air-conditioning. The setting was nice. The cupcake was moist and the frosting was good. But, it wasn't special. I wish I picked a cupcake cooler to eat, like Banana or something. The flavor variations were intriguing. But, I had to order whatever Butch orders because I want to be like her eventually when I grow up. It did make me gassy, but, I can't complain about that. Good eat! read more

Cupcakes and key lime pie were really good. Red velvet is out favorite flavor. Also ice creams are delicious and have gluten free options.

Sweet service for sweet treats! Delicious cupcakes and ice cream! The s'mores, turtle cheesecake, and tiramisu cupcakes were all delicious.

Small but mighty! Love the S'more and the red velvet but there are so many to try. They have a smaller variety pack that just may help. Chairs and tables outside complete the spot. Yummy! read more

I'm out of state and I was super excited to enjoy a cupcake from here. We got there at 9:40, and they locked the doors. Some guy was looking through the window and just looked at us, and went to the back. If you guys closed at 9:40, then post it. Don't say you close at 10, and close the doors early. read more

Absolutely delicious & so professional!!! We love the purple & aqua colored FSW cupcakes as well as the other yummy favors- thank you for making them for us and delivering them too:-) read more

Fantastic! These are the best cupcakes. The brown sugar and red velvet are my favorites.

This is a new location for these gals. It is worth a try! They have a good mix of classic and creative cupcakes. Our favorite was the flavor of the week, Chocolate Hazelnut Cupcake: Yellow cake with chocolate swirled throughout, topped with a smudge of chocolate (Nutella?!) and THAT was topped with a hazelnut cream icing. Our next favorite was the Butterfinger Cupcake: Yellow cake topped with creamy icing mixed with crumbled Butterfinger candybar pieces, then topped with more Butterfinger candybar pieces. In the center of the cupcake was a happy little taste of peanut butter. 3rd runner-up was a take on a classic: Mint chocolate cupcake. Moist chocolate cake topped with refreshing and SWEEEEET minty icing. That's what she said. Her sweet tooth isn't as big as ours. On a personal note, I have found that with the explosion of decadent icing cupcakes, it is best to eat with a fork in order to enjoy the icing with EVERY bite of cake and avoid getting that pretty icing on your pretty little nose. I'm not a snob, just sayin'. read more

Stopped by here last night after seeing it on Wink News - had the vanilla with chocolate icing cupcake and thought it was yummy. My mom had the upside down pineapple cheesecake and she said it was the best cheesecake she'd had in a while. read more

My friend and I passed by Grace and Shelly's Cupcakes on a Saturday night. Since it was the first time we've been here we decided to get the 12 pack of shooters (mini cupcakes) to try out a variety of flavors. The first shooter I had, which was the worst one, was the brown sugar caramel. The consistency of the cake was a little odd, but okay. The frosting was horrible; it tasted just like butter. I tried to find any other flavor or consistency in the frosting, but all I could taste was butter covered in a caramel drizzle. It was the same for another caramel covered shooter that was in the pack. Other than those two, the rest were good. I did notice that the vanilla cakes were more like poundcake (which I don't mind at all) but some may find them a bit too dry. The chocolate cake was AMAZING. Every single chocolate shooter did not disappoint, and the same goes for the red velvet. If you're in town, you should try this place out, just be careful of the flavors I had mentioned above. Also, the store was really cute and clean (which is a major plus for me). read more

The ice cream was "okay" nothing special. We did not try the cupcakes, so this review is only about the ice cream. My kids thought Coldstone that they had the night earlier was better. read more

I wish I could give 0 stars !!! This was the WORST cupcake I've ever had in my life SERIOUSLY! I was too far to go and return it ! I got the caramel brown sugar with vanilla frosting and it was STALE and FLAVOR LESS , even the most simple cupcake at the grocery store taste better than this!!! Don't waste your money here, I don't recommend this place at all! read more

Got ice cream here twice during our 3 day stay in Naples! The Salted Carmel Cashew Crunch ice cream was delicious! They even have a ton of cone choices. All the usuals, but they have a chocolate cake cone and even a pretzel cone. I tried the Raspberry Lemonade cupcake, and it was so yummy! Sweet, yet refreshing. We will be hitting them up again on our next trip to Naples! The woman who helped us even gave us points of interest to visit in Naples. Customer service was top notch! read more
