This place is pretty cool. You don't just get whatever is premade. You pick your flavors to include your icing! They also have gourmet sizes(bigger) We came here for the GF. They are still dense, but still good. The GF are frozen but they warm them up so you can rat them right away. read more

Literally my favorite cupcakes I've ever had ever in my life. I have never found another cupcake that comes close to how the taste

If you believe that the customer is always right, don't go here. We placed an order for my sons's wedding and their cake order was for a champagne cake. When they cut it the cake tasted like nothing but lemon. We took the cake back to them and they argued that not only was it champagne, but that their cupcakes and cakes are made differently and that is why it didn't taste the same. Sad to say we won't be back and will not recommend them to anyone who asks. read more

Fabulous cupcakes :) In the area hiking and craving a reward we found Ida's. Love the concept, pick your cake and pick your frosting. Why don't more places do this?! They've got a menu list of mix & match options, as well as a display case of the most popular combos. You pick your poison and they frost them up right then. We chose 6, three for each of us. The cakes were all moist and the frostings all thick and rich, but not overly sweet. My husbands favorite was chocolate/peanut butter, while I gave a gold star to lemon/raspberry. They were all fantastic though...quality cupcakes worth every penny. We will be stopping by every time we're in town, highly recommend. :) read more

Extremely happy with an order for 7 dozen mini cupcakes decorated in a forest friend's theme for a baby shower. Beautifully decorated and delivered as promised. I felt 100% confident ordering from Ida's for guests with severe nut allergies and celiac disease. They take great care to avoid cross-contamination. I've never had any adverse reactions with their gluten-free and nut-free products. Many thanks for a great job!! read more

I come to Bend for family events I've bought cupcakes from Ida's several times. There food and service is always good

Found out they use canola oil in their baking. I don't get why companies use these toxic ingredients :( for how much they charge they are using the cheapest ingredients and calling it "vegan"... read more

Amazing service.incredibly delicious cupcakes.highly recommended. The chocolate one was so light and fluffy with a beautiful chocolate frosting read more

Cupcakes - 5/5 stars They were great and it is awesome that you can mix and match cake flavors and frosting flavors. For sure a great cupcake for your buck! We were celebrating a birthday, and these did the trick. Everyone got their own flavor and was pleased! Customer Service - 0/5 stars While the cupcakes were great, the customer service was not. First, they asked us three times if our group was together. All three times our answer was yes. They seemed irritated that we were there. We were maintaining our 6 feet from the other groups inside and we offered to wait outside if our group was too large due to Covid restrictions. (We were in there with a family of 3 and a family of 4. So 4 adults and 3 kids total.) If they didn't want a group our size in there, they could have said so. Regardless, their tone of voice could have been better/friendlier. Their menu was not clear. They were out of a few flavors which is understandable. But the way they were explaining what they had/ didn't have and the way they marked it on their big menu board was not clear. As we ordered and misunderstood the menu and what they had/didn't have, they reiterated themselves, which is fine. However it was the tone of voice the woman constantly spoke with that was a great example of poor customer service. I would say it was an issue on our side ... but the guy ordering as I waited for them to prepare our cupcakes asked them to repeat what they had said again because he was confused as well. That made me feel it wasn't an issue with us. Having been in service positions in the past, I can advise that even if the employee is frustrated, they can and should still treat the customer with respect. I mentioned to the employee that having the cupcakes they were out of visible in the display case was throwing everyone off. I suggested they remove the cupcakes they were out of. Good customer service would be responding by saying something like "that's a good idea" (whether they intend on taking the suggestion or not.) Instead the woman took my suggestion and gave a sad excuse saying something similar to "the woman who put the cupcakes in the display case would get mad at me if I removed any of the cupcakes." (See image provided ... the cupcakes are not arranged in any special way. They are simply placed on a cake tray. I don't believe removing the cupcakes they were out or would have negatively affected their display.) While there one of the two employees in a frustrated voice said something very similar to "it's been a long day." It was 2pm. And regardless of how long the day had been, if you are in a position attempting to offer great customer service, you offer great customer service. read more

Very disappointed in our local cupcake shop. Ida's has been making excellent cupcakes for years. As a frosting-oholic, I have always asked for - and received - "extra" icing at an upcharge. I have even paid for a side of icing. Apparently, Ida's has made the decision to no longer sell sides or extra icing. This is half your business! Being able to purchase sides of icing is commonplace in nationwide bakeries like Susiecakes. Bring back the icing, Idas. You'll be better for it. read more

A cozy little cupcake shop is how I see it. Definitely a guilty pleasure spot. They sell cupcakes, really good cupcakes, cupcakes for the child living in all are hearts.

Visit 09-28-2019 Sorry to say, I am kind of in a rut. We have been visiting Ida's for years and have probably purchased over 1000 cupcakes for events, gifts, and a few for ourselves. So why is it I have only had one flavor, ever : o Carrot Cake with the buttermilk frosting, it is my thing and to the annoyance of some of my family members, that is all I will ever try. I say it is like asking Leonardo da Vinci to call up La Gioconda to repaint the Mona Lisa. Perfect is perfect so leave it alone. Joking aside, they have an incredible selection of cake choices and toppings. The only thing harder than finding a parking spot, is figuring out what cupcake to go with. I have my opinion. This is really a great spot to drop in if you're visiting Bend, and if you live here and have not visited, shame on you. One small cupcake won't ruin your diet, well not too much anyway. Ida's is a local small business that does an exceptional job at what they do, making people happy. read more

Love Idas! You can order custom cupcakes (singles) at their locations and every flavor I've tried is flavorful and moist. The frosting to cake ratio is perfect. It's difficult to create a quality cupcake and Ida's has nailed it! read more

A lot of options for regular folks, and a good amount of options for those with allergies. They call them AF if they are "all-free" and were very tasty! All icing is piped on the scene with the option to choose your flavors. Some cupcakes were a little dry but the icing helped it go down. read more

Not only the best chocolate chocolate chip cupcake (with cream cheese frosting) but also the BEST customer service! Ida's has catered my daughters wedding AND we use them weekly to send treats to special folks at New Hope. Highly recommend! read more

Loved this cupcake shop! I'm from Reno and was on a road trip and stopped in bend. We got a sweet tooth craving and looked up desserts and picked Idas at random. And it was delish!! The store is small but cute and clean. Parking was easy to find. I have been in quite a few cupcake shops and NEVER have I been somewhere you can mix and match the cake to the icing. That was sooo awesome, why isn't everywhere like that??? Nowhere in Reno let's you do that. All the flavors we wanted were in stock which was another plus! I feel like everytime ive been to a cupcake shop, even early, things will be sold out. But we got to try all 4 of the cupcakes we wanted. My favorite was a classic, pumpkin spice with cream cheese frosting. Sooo delicious. We also got vanilla with salted caramel, chocolate with raspberry, and apple with maple cream cheese. They were all great and SO MOIST. Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs and we ended up not finishing them and we store them in our car in just the box they gave them to us in and the next day they were STILL SO MOIST. I was pleasantly surprised. If I'm in bend again I will definitely be back :) read more

Absolutely divine! Super fresh, most and not terribly sweet. You can actually taste the speciality flavors of each cupcake.

Their cupcakes are a dream! We got custom vegan cupcakes for my sister in law's baby shower. Woodland animals and dreamy flowers...I ordered them over the phone and shared a photo for inspiration and they did an INCREDIBLE job . Plus they're super tasty. read more

I ordered a cake for my husband for his birthday. I was truly impressed with how many follow up calls I received just to ensure my order was perfectly correct. I placed an order for a "log looking" cake with small mushrooms as we are mushroom foragers. The cake itself was vanilla with Oreo/vanilla buttercream. It exceeded my expectations by far! I loved the cake- it was just perfect- spongy, dense/airy, aromatic, and it had the perfect moisture. Thank you to the bakers and cake decorators we loved the cake! I will definitely be coming back for more birthday cakes and other goodies for festivities as they come throughout the year! read more

I had Ida's make a special cake for a surprise party and they nailed it! I asked for a chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting decorated like a pineapple and sent pictures of what I hoped for. The cake turned out beautiful and delicious. Autumn coordinated the order and did an amazing job. I also love that they make gluten and dairy-free cupcakes so I could include our friend with food sensitivities. Thank you, Ida's Cupcakes! read more

The best cupcakes. Hands down. Dozens of cake and frosting combinations. We're GF and the cake flavors are wonderful. The icing is rich, the flavors are spectacular. We purchased 18 cupcakes last week and made two trips into the stores- they are so phenomenal. read more

I used to go back and forth about Ida's, but finally realized I needed to draw a line in the sand, yay, or nay? It's official, it's a yay! Here's my recent discovery, cupcake push-up parfaits. Who even thinks this stuff up? Luckily Ida's did. Layers of cake and frosting in a push-up. All sorts of combos, I just take what they have and don't worry about what it's made up of, always been super pleased with the combinations. The only problem, they don't always have them. I sneak them in on my way home from work when, eat one on the down-low in the car. I know, I know. Great service, great quality cupcakes - I've ordered them for all sorts of events, birthdays, thank you's, etc. They are open to special orders and special requests. Ida is no longer the owner, find her volunteering at the Bend Visitor Center. She's a gem. But the legend carries on without her, new owners have hired a great staff, engaged, knowledgeable and delivering a quality product. read more

Cupcakes were amazing! Nice that you can custom order and mix cake and icing. Super friendly and helpful staff!

This is a gem of a business! I've been going here for years (all 3 locations) and have always had a delicious experience. Galveston is my favorite location because it's a darling converted house in the heart of Bend. Most times I walk in the door I'm greeted by friendly young staff members which makes the experience that much better! I have tried TONS of flavors including their wonderful seasonal options... but I have to say, White on White is my favorite. It's moist and luscious and as a cupcake baker myself, I couldn't do better. read more

Wow! This place knows how to do cupcakes. Seriously the flavor combos seem endless and each new flavor I tried I was ready to be dissatisfied. Not the case. I'm embarrassed to admit that in a weeks vacation I've gone here three times. I love trying new bakeries when I travel, but if you're in Bend look no further. I've paid more money for cupcakes but not usually worth it. The $2.65 price per regular sized cupcake wasn't too bad. The flavors though...I'd pay more The idea is they have freshly baked cupcakes and variety of frosting ready. You go in and choose your own combos, they go and frost your cupcakes, and in a few minutes you're out the door. Which flavors should you get? I was not missing out and went 3x like I said. The lemon poppyseed cake with raspberry frosting is great for summer. The raspberry flavor tastes real! The Mint Oreo is tasty, the chocolate cake (they put chocolate chips in the chocolate cupcakes...such a great idea!!) with vanilla buttercream is a perfect traditional cupcake; Red Velvet with cream cheese frosting is fantastic too (these 4 cupcakes are in photo I posted). These cakes are sweet and delicately rich, but each flavor is true to its name. No fake flavors. Some others: key lime cake with vanilla buttercream was good (though I should have gotten cream cheese like the worker suggested); oh the Salted Caramel is soooo good too! Chocolate cake with raspberry is tasty but better with the lemon poppy. But was still delicious in its own right. Luckily I've done lots of outdoor activities to burn off the cake calories read more

This is our go-to for birthdays in my little family. Since it's just the three of us, we just got 6 cupcakes at a time instead of a cake. We get kids cakes which are about $2.65 each and if you get 6, you get $1 off. Our go-to flavor is red velvet w/ cream cheese frosting. We've tried several and this is the best! We also like chocolate with salted caramel frosting or chocolate buttercream. We also always get a pupcake for our dog and he loves it of course!! read more

We found this place after hiking all day in the hills nearby. We didn't have many expectations, but regardless, they were surpassed. They don't frost the cupcakes until you order, and you can choose any combo of cake and frosting-- such a great option. We ordered chocolate/oreo, red velvet/cream cheese, lemon poppy/strawberry, and pumpkin/cream cheese. They were all winners. The cake stayed moist and the flavors were delicious! read more

Amazing cupcakes, cute shop, sweet service! Love this little gem. They have gluten free options too!

Ida's "Party in a Box" was the perfect birthday delivery for our amazing team member! We can't party together so this is the next best thing! The box includes an assortment of Ida's delicious cupcakes, two types of frosting, custom sprinkles, birthday wrap, birthday card with our birthday wishes all wrapped up in a bow and delivered! Order the day before by 4:00 p.m. for next-day delivery! Lastly, I want to give a shout-out to Abby who took my call and all my information needed to make this happen. She was professional and gave some great suggestions to make the delivery special! You could just hear the smile in her voice!! I think I might need to order that vanilla salted caramel parfait for me!! read more

Our daughter was playing in a lacrosse tournament in Bend on her birthday. We, as out of towners, drove by Ida's and stopped in to grab birthday cupcakes for the team in a rush. How fortunate that we stumbled upon this bakery! They provided us with 2 dozen of the best cupcakes! I don't like frosting and these cupcakes were topped with delicious, creamy frosting that was flavorful and not too sweet. The place was busy--the product lived up to the obvious popularity. My favorite was the key lime cake with lemon frosting. My husband's favorite was the peanut butter chocolate chip with PB frosting. read more

Yas! These cupcakes are delicious! We tried the key-lime, strawberry, red velvet, carrot and vanilla. Each cupcake was moist and the icing was light with the just the right amount of flavor. If you get the key lime, be sure to get the tequila icing. read more

1st time in and will be coming back because service ever from Emily! And beautiful cupcakes with interesting flavor choices

My daughter and I ordered a dozen cupcakes,a variety of flavors!! Best cupcakes we had, lemon poppyseed, caramel, blueberry lemon, cafe latte, we're by far our favorites!! The red velvet and peanut butter were a bit too much for me, tasted great but I could only eat half, then ate the other half later. If you want the best cupcakes in town, Ida's is the place to go. Highly recommended!! read more

Came in last Sunday on my way to the airport back home to SF. Although there isn't a bakery case with a lot to see, the options are actually many. They sell only cupcakes but you can get any cake and frosting flavor combo and three different sizes I believe. I got a peanut butter cupcake with peanut butter frosting and Oreo crumbs. They put it together in the back as you order it. The cake had Pb and chocolate chips in it and it was really moist. I generally don't like cupcakes because they tend to be dry compared to cakes but this one was good. I really appreciated the kind girl helping me and the lady who I think was the owner and their willingness to combine two different frosting types to satisfy my Oreo/peanut butter craving! read more

My wife is a cupcake connoisseurs. We've actually made it a point while traveling to search out a couple winners of the TV show "Cupcake Wars". We were referred to Ida's by a local. We stopped by to give them a try. Service was friendly and fun. Choices we plentiful. Debi did a chocolate cupcake with salted caramel frosting. I chose chocolate on chocolate. Quite honestly it's the best cupcake ever. Debi (the expert) didn't agree. She says they were good but not the best. I will admit the cakes crumbled too easily, but I'm sticking to my guns. This is the best cupcake ever, and I rarely enjoy cupcakes. read more

I use to really love this place but the last year it seems to have changed. It use to seem so welcoming when you came in and they would enjoy talking to the customer and help mix fun flavors but now it seems like they just want you in and out. The cupcakes themselves are delicious (it's near impossible to beat them) and I enjoy mixing and matching all the frosting and cakes but wish the intimacy was still there to encourage different blends of flavors and interaction. read more

I absolutely LOVE cupcakes. I moved into town not too long ago from the land of Kara's (http://www.karascupcakes.com/index2.html) and Sprinkles (http://www.sprinkles.com/). I was under the impression that Central Oregon wouldn't have any specialized cupcake bakeries, but what do ya know--there's THIS cute cupcake cafe on the westside of Bend! What makes Ida's unique is you can customize your cupcakes. They come in two sizes, and have a list of cake and frosting flavors to choose from. Prices are reasonable too. Flavors and pricing based on their website (2/18/10): Cake Flavors chocolate . vanilla . lemon. red velvet . carrot . lemon-poppy key lime . pumpkin . peanut butter Frosting Flavors: chocolate . vanilla buttercream . cream cheese coconut . toasted coconut . german chocolate . oreo raspberry swirl . orange chiffon peanut butter Prices: Kidcakes $2.00 gourmet cupcakes (these are HUGE) $3.00 Gluten-Free & Vegan $2.50 I've tried the pumpkin, vanilla, key lime, and RED VELVET. I usually go with the cream cheese frosting because I think it's a pretty versatile flavor, though it may be a tad too sweet for some. But the cupcakes themselves are very moist and taste great. I haven't tried their gluten free or vegan cupcakes, but I'm interested in trying one soon. If cupcakes make your day like they do for me, check out Ida's! read more

I remember when Ida's first opened in Bend, my mother and I were driving back from lunch and saw a sign for cupcakes so we stopped in. At the time it was a little space with not much of a store front and no room to sit. She only served cupcakes no coffee or teas. My mother and I each tried one and both of us loved what we ate. The next time I went back, I ordered 6 different flavors b/c I felt I needed to try all of them. Of course, I shared them with friends and husband. After the introduction to these naughty treats it became an addiction. Every time a certain group of my friends and I got together, we would stop at Ida's and pick up a half dozen or more cupcakes to share and we would each eat 1/4 piece - just for a taste. I remember the lemon and chocolate the most. But there was never a bad cupcake. Then I moved out of Bend so Ida's was a fond, distant memory to me. Even though I live in LA where cupcake shops are like coffee huts in Bend. There's Sprinkles, Crumbs, Frosted, Magnolia Bakery, and BabyCakes...just to name a few. From what I remembered, Ida's cupcakes are just as good if not better than some of these bigger places. I went back to Bend to visit a few weeks ago and I saw Ida's moved next to Ariana in the space that used to be Ariana's to-go lunch place. Of course, I could not leave Bend without eating one of these cupcakes, so I picked one up at Munch and Music. And not to my surprise her cupcakes were still just as good - super moist cake and good frosting that wasn't too sweet. The chocolate one has always been my favorite. It has little chips in it which I love. They are frosted to order so you have so many options and the prices are very reasonable. To me they are actually a steal (mini cupcakes at Ida's are $1 or less while the bigger cupcakes cost $2.50). In LA cupcakes have become way to trendy and expensive - a dozen minis will run you $30+ while a single bigger cupcakes costs $4.50 or more!!! Keep up the good work, Ida! read more
