I have heard so many good things about this place so I figured I would make the drive and try them out. I was beyond disappointed. My bf and I got a dozen and tried one of each, both regular and vegan. The cupcakes were dry and all you could taste was the icing. Also the vegan cupcakes were much smaller than the regular ones which was a little disappointing also. I don't understand how a product like this could impress anyone from food network. For the price of 30+ dollars for cupcakes I was expecting so much better. I will not be returning and I will be sending my friends and family elsewhere. read more

More icing than cake. The cake was undercooked, the icing was too sweet. The size was too small and the price too high. Overall, not impressed at all. I could have made a dozen perfect cupcakes at home for the price they charged me for two. read more

Lancaster Cupcake - Cut in half. Notice the tiny bit of cake and how much icing there is. I was charged over $10 for this. - Cupcakes Near Me - Lancaster, Pennsylvania

I don't understand the hype of this place. Bought cupcakes . The best thing about them is how the icing looked. The whole thing had no flavor . There wasn't anything outstanding about them except the price. Highly disappointed read more

We stopped by here on a recommendation from a friend while at the Marriott for an event. Everything we tried was excellent. Definitely worth stopping for a tasty morsel. read more

So you can't *truly* tell by my photo but, boy, do I looove sweets. Lancaster Cupcake is confectionery done 100% right! The cakes are moist, the icing is PLENTIFUL which I absolutely adore, and the flavours are out of bounds fantastic. My husband treats himself to 1 (and me to 3) about once a month. Today he got Carrot Cake (which he devoured 2 bites) and I got Strawberry Champagne (an absolute delight. The strawberry jam in the middle was tart and mouth puckeringly wonderful) Chocolate Ganache, and one of my favourite standbys - Cookie Dough. Do not go there thinking you will just have 1 cupcake. You are straight up lying to yourself - go ahead and choose 4 read more

Small seating area, but really cute inside. Best cupcakes I've ever had! Definitely would recommend the raspberry rosé.

This is my absolute favorite cupcake place!! They make the best cupcakes I've ever tasted. After years of stopping by the Mountville location for a Friday afternoon fix, I moved to North Carolina. I recently went on a diet and have lost 40lbs. When thinking about how I want to celebrate when I reach 50lbs, the only thing I want is a Lancaster Cupcake. Leah at LC worked with me to ship a dozen beautiful, cupcakes all the way to Charlotte NC for me!!! They arrived in perfect condition and were absolutely delicious. My friends and I had a mini party to enjoy them. With this awesome surprise at 40lbs, I'm thinking a Bentley for 50lbs! read more

Might be the best cupcake I've ever had. We got a mix of all different ones and every one was delicious. The cake was moist and fresh. The icing was just right on all of them. The strawberry champagne cupcake was AMAZING, just like fresh strawberries, none of that yucky artificial strawberry taste that you get from other places. read more

Delicious cupcakes! Such a gem in Lancaster. Friendly and polite staff. Beautiful interior. Awesome coffee! If I could give it ten stars, I would. read more

Yummm!!! If you're lucky, they'll have lemon lavender cupcakes on the menu. There's even an order window from the sidewalk so you can order socially distanced. A couple tables on the sidewalk, too! So so so good. read more

YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! My friend brought me cupcakes from here because I was having a rough week and they literally were some of the best cupcakes I've ever had! Each one melted in my mouth, we finished all 4 within 5 minutes. I can see why they were on cupcake wars because each bite of each cupcake was worth every calorie! Worth checking out! read more

Lancaster Cupcake - Cupcakes Near Me - Lancaster, Pennsylvania

Yummy GF and GF/Vegan cupcakes. A special treat anytime we visit Lancaster. The ladies behind the counter are always smiles and personable.

Some of the best cupcakes I've ever had. I hadn't heard about this place firsthand when we spotted it during our visit to Lancaster. Drawn in by their bright logo and cute interior. They were contestants on Cupcake Wars, and I believe have since evolved from a food truck to multiple store fronts since their episode has aired. Bought a half dozen to sample as much as we could, and so many flavors were tempting. My favorites were probably Toffee Crunch, Salted Caramel, and Red Velvet. A few of the flavors have different fillings in the center. The cake was moist and flavorful, icing was not too sweet. read more

Generally, I find cupcakes to be dry and overrated. Cute on Instagram but sad in your mouth. This place has changed my mind. We've tried the flagship store as well as the truck. Solid, consistent deliciousness. The cupcakes are wonderful. Cake is moist and not too sweet. Icing is perfection. Chocolate birthday cake is my favorite. The peanut butter chocolate one is delicious. Blueberry buckle flavor was also surprisingly good. Didn't care much for the caramel. Did I mention cupcake sundae? Cupcake sundae. read more

WOW. Seriously maybe the best cupcake I've ever had. I live in DC and they are on par, if not better, than Georgetown Cupcakes, which I thought were my favorite cupcakes! They are soooo moist with the perfect amount of frosting. It looks like they also do full cakes and I kid you not, I may try and get them to do my wedding cake and deliver down to DC, which I knowwwww sounds crazy but they're that good :-p They also have vegan, gluten-free, and vegan andddd gluten-free cupcakes. Amazing. I usually eat vegan if available (and had a vegan one) and my boyfriend had gluten-free. We actually generally prefer gluten-free and dairy-free and so were so surprised by that awesome option, which we've never really seen before in our many bakery stops. Also, check out their website to read their story -- very inspirational and would love to help support this family. Please go try : ) : ) These are cupcakes you won't regret eating. read more

I had 2 cupcakes here - the lemon and snickerdoodle. The lemon was fabulous-the icing was lemon-y, creamy and sweet all at the same time. I liked the cake, but they put whole lemon zest in the batter. The texture is a little weird, it worked for me but not everyone may like that. The batter was a little heavy too. The snickerdoodle wasn't anything special, I just felt like it was all sugar, not much balance or flavor, just sweet. I was also disappointed they didn't have any normal flavors like standard vanilla or chocolate. We went about 8:30 pm so maybe they were just sold out. For my husband, who likes vanilla, chocolate or chocolate peanut butter, this was a disappointing place - definitely for people who are adventurous with flavors. They do have a gleuten free dairy free chocolate cupcake. All in all the lemon cupcake was divine and I will definitely be back! read more

We both tasted each cupcake and they were all so delicious, especially Blueberry Bumble. That was our favorite and Katie is going to try and re-create it at home (she's an avid baker). Blueberry Bumble had cream cheese icing, and all of the flavors from the icing to the filling all blended so well together. In fact, all of their flavors of cupcakes were so well done. You can tell that the owners here really love what they do, the cupcakes are phenomenal. The only issue we found was that the tiramusu cupcake's coffee flavoring all seemed to sink to the bottom of the cupcake, but it was still so good. The Key Lime was not overly tangy, which we found to be a good thing, and the smores cupcake was so rich, it would be so wonderful with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. read more

This is my absolutely FAVORITE cupcake place. There are SOO many varieties to choose from. No matter what flavor you get, you won't be disappointed. By far the best tasting icing I've had anywhere. They're so fresh and taste amazing. They may seem pricey to some but they are well worth it! read more

I have yet to try a cupcake, however the Frozen Hot Chocolate (with optional whip cream ) is very rich and has the perfect cold chocolatey sugar combination. It's not a refreshing drink, but more like a dessert through a straw, which was exactly what I was looking for. read more

One of the best and cutest cupcake place in town. Pricy, but worth it, the cupcakes are very moist and NOT dry. I love the icing too because it is not too sweet. All flavors have a good balance ! One of my favorite places to get cupcakes. read more

First time customer.....So many wonderful flavors to choose from. The cupcakes are so moist and full of unbelievable flavor topped with the perfect pairing of icing. Staff is incredibly friendly. We are not from the area but will make a special trip just to come back for these! Thank you for these delicious treats! read more

The shop is definitely very cute and trendy BUT the cupcakes were 3 stars at best. The cake was similar to a pound cake texture/Taste, which isn't really what I look for when I eat a cupcake. The density and sweetness also made it really hard to eat with the amt of cream cheese-buttercream frosting....just way too much at once. Also since the cake textures are the same and the same frosting is used it caused the 2 flavors we tried to taste virtually the same :( My Lemon raspberry cupcake had no distinct flavor (just like a plain vanilla), which was very very disappointing. My husband's strawberry cheesecake cupcake was much better than mine though but still average. Sidenote: I wish they put the gluten free and vegan cupcakes in the same display as the regular ones! I didn't even see them until we were paying. So this place definitely has potential but still needs a little work. read more

We had a red velvet heart cake from here this weekend. It was magnificent. The icing was just perfect with the cake and the whole thing just melted in our mouths. I strongly recommend this, especially if you want something special for Valentine's Day. Holly read more

I am generally pretty picky about cupcakes. I like them moist, not too sweet and the frosting creamy but not too dense/artificial tasting. This place manages to satisfy all three! They have a variety of different flavors to choose from. I have tried the strawberry champagne and tira misu thus far and they are winners! Highly recommend. read more

Lancaster Cupcake - Six different cupcakes to try - Cupcakes Near Me - Lancaster, Pennsylvania

Stopped in on a busy Friday afternoon with some friends and was immediately helped by friendly staff. The store itself was bright and fun. The cupcakes were absolutely delicious! I got a 6 pack - $15 but worth every penny! My daughter loved her "chocolate party" and the "sweet therapy" was out of this world! The cupcakes weren't too big, but were moist and topped with the perfect amount of frosting. I'll be making a return trip soon! read more

Since i am local i have been here about 6-8 times and probably had their cupckes a dozen times. I dont want to repeat what others have said i will just say: 1. I have never found a flavor i dont like! 2. I get them as gifts sometimes and everyone appreciates it! 3. They have a new feature which is a sngle cupcake or double (2 cupcakes) smothered with soft serve icecream - i saw that people had them and the concept is brilliant ! I will be trying one the next time! 4. If you go out to eat, stop here for your dessert! Im not a big "sweets" person and i know tastes vary - but i really like these cupcakes - im not saying they are the best in the world - im just saying they are the best i have tasted. read more

Yum. Bit too far from home to be a regular thing...which is probably a good thing. Cut them into pieces so we could All try 6 different flavours and they were all good. Held up well for the few days at home. Cake was moist and icing was not overly sweet. I enjoyed that they were filled. read more

Decadent delicious and pricey. The cupcakes are so soft moist and delicious. It truly is a treat to have one. they are not the same old same old, from what I could gather and see they have a large revolving menu of cupcake flavors, we got lemon, oreo, mint chocolate chip, vanilla, chocolate straight with sprinkles, butterscotch read more

Love these cupcakes! The red velvet is amazing and one of my favorites! I have moved from PA and quickly realized how much I loved these cupcakes. I have not yet found a solid bakery that can rival so far where I live now. read more

Absolutely amazing. The prices do seem high for a cupcake. But it's the best cupcake you'll ever have. Lemon Lush is my personal favorite and I have to stick up everytime they have them. A must stop in Lancaster. read more

I wanted to love this place. I found it mediocre at best. I ordered four cupcakes and the cake for all of them were very dense. The cupcakes didn't taste moist and fluffy, they almost had a glue like consistency. The frosting for the most past was good. I did not care for the Carmel macchiato cupcake, it seemed overly sweet with no real coffee flavor. We also had the party cake, the raspberry one and the double chocolate chip. Out of the four the double chocolate chip was the best. read more

FYI: If you're not a fan of cream cheese frosting, you'll be unpleasantly surprised to find that all of their cupcakes have cream cheese frosting. Yuck. Luckily, I only got one. It was the peach cobbler. Can't say I tasted anything resembling peach or cobbler...just sugar and cream cheese. Won't ever go back unless they start offering more varieties with traditional frosting. read more

Recently purchased a red velvet cake and honestly, it was the BEST I've ever eaten-and you know how Lancaster feels about red velvet!! That's right-don't forget-- they do cakes!! read more

Been here multiple times, usually always at night, they always have a good amount of people. I've personally had too many to name but they do make the simple things right, which is very important. My favorite was the carrot, the cupcakes look simple but are heavy..icing is good..totally worth it. The place itself is a bit small as far as waiting and sitting space. My only negative thought, otherwise great! read more

Delicious cupcakes! Wide variety of fun flavors. Super cute bright atmosphere with a little play area. Staff are super friendly. read more

Lancaster Cupcake - Cupcakes Near Me - Lancaster, Pennsylvania

I stopped in at Lancaster Cupcake while visiting the area and bought a lemon and a chocolate mudslide (I think that was the name?). Best cupcakes ever! The lemon was tart, the cupcake moist and the frosting had just the right amount of "lemony" flavor. My favorite, even though I love chocolate. The mudslide was very chocolately, moist and delicious. Two great favors. I wish they had mail order. But I'll definitely be visiting them again when I return to Lancaster. read more

A little over two years ago I bought several dozen cupcakes from LC for a big party and they were such a hit. We all agreed they were the best cupcakes we had ever eaten in our lives! The guests could not get enough. It had been a while, but my husband and I recently were in the area and bought a pack for my birthday to share. We were very disappointed. Although they still look really pretty, we felt they must have changed the recipe for both the cake and icing. We had several different favors in the assortment. We thought the cake part was heavier and not as flavorful and the icing so thick and sweet neither one of us could take more than a small bite and I typically am a "frostingaholic". I was disappointed - these were not the same cupcakes we remembered from the past. Not worth the $40+ cost for a dozen anymore. read more

Can imagine opening your wedding cake just hours before the ceremony and finding that it wasn't decorated? That's what happened to us. To makes matter worse, they not only refused to do anything that didn't even apologize and were rude to the bride. Worst customer service ever! read more

I've now ordered cupcakes to have sent to my daughter at college in Lancaster 3 times. The cupcakes are delicious and cost significantly less than Georgetown cupcakes and taste WAY better! The people are friendly, nice and helpful and I will continue to use them to send yummy treats to my daughter while she's far from home for birthdays, bad days or game days! Love this place!!! YUM read more
