    This vendor never once explained her policy. Never once asked for a deposit. Never once asked me to sign a contract or talk in the Shoppe. She claims that because the cake was simple she didn't see the need. She decided to cancel my cake 3 weeks before my wedding because I asked to pay a deposit and and the rest the day of. Never once did I say I wasn't going to pay her for the cake. But just as it's in her right to be paid it is well within my right to ask that the cake is what I wanted before spending money on it. Again I would of signed a contract, paid a deposit, given her a credit card to hold. But she did not ask for any of that. This is an example of poor communication.

    Mini cupcakes and naked cake
    Erica V.

    After many hours reading reviews of bakeries in Pittsburgh- I decided that this was the one. I was planning a baby shower from out of town and wanted a naked cake- I received a phone call back within 24 hours and was very confident that the cake would turn out just as requested. The cakes are made by hand and the variety of filling options were amazing. I initially requested a naked cake but they took their time explaining the difference between naked/some frosting etc to achieve the look I was going for. The pricing is phenomenal considering all of the time and effort that goes into each cake. My cake turned out even better than I imagined and all of the guests were complimenting on the great flavor. We also picked up a few dozen mini cupcakes that were dressed adorably and perfect bite size snacks! Amazing boutique bakery!!!

    Note: CASH ONLY! Last week, I spotted a new business on Capital Avenue, and at first glance it appeared to be an ice cream parlor. However, it turns out that someone decided to open a cupcake specialty bakery a few doors up the cobblestone road from the famously overrated Fiori's Pizzeria, and the interiors are akin to a pink poodle; small and excruciatingly cute. Women will most likely love the place as well as the keen designs of the cupcakes themselves which range in size from regular to miniature. Le Cupcake Shoppe also sells cookies, cakes, and other assorted pastries, but aside from some cake pops that the person behind the counter (the owner?) threw in for free, they only had cupcakes for sale at the moment. I took home bountiful baker's dozen of the micro cupcakes and a few of the normally-sized variety. They included the following: Red Velvet, S'more, Chocolate Potato Chip (!), Hot Chocolate, French Vanilla, and I cannot recall what the others were called at the moment. All of them were adorned with either a cream cheese icing or a buttercream. Some of the cake portions were a little on the dry side but most were up to the usual par of richness, and each of the icings of course made the cupcakes sing, hitting every sultry, velvety, dulcet note. The Hot Chocolate, my personal favorite of the batch, had a chocolate buttercream with sprinkles and a small marshmallow on top, evoking wintertime comfort personified, solidified. Although none of the others were duffers, an honorable mention must go to the expectedly brilliant salty/sweet smash-up of the winged Chocolate Potato Chip cupcakes. Aloft on golden wings of deep fried, ridged, mass-produced tuber, they fluttered into my beak like moths to a smoldering campfire after sunset. Cake Pops, like cupcakes themselves, are not typically something I crave, but the chocolate one had an irresistibly fudgy quality (was that fondant?) to it that had me wishing for more. Let's pray to the confectionery gods that Le Cupcake Shoppe sticks to the neighborhood like their treats did to my palate.

    They taste as good as they look

    Super cute cupcake shop! Stopped in for a treat on my way to get pizza, the owner was friendly and helpful. I decided on a half dozen of the mini cupcakes. Every bite was moist,delicious and flavorful. Not to mentioned the cupcakes are perfectly portioned to help those of us who have no control when it comes to sugar

    Yum!

    I stopped in here Friday for the first time and it was so cute! The woman that helped me was kind, personable and friendly. I purchased cake pops in both chocolate and vanilla to have as an afternoon treat and were blown away at their freshness and taste. I also purchased 2 dozen mini cupcakes. There were so many different flavors to try that I had a hard time narrowing it down! I try to host a family get together regularly and am always looking for a fun dessert to add to the menu and these were perfect! They were so cute looking and were tasty too! I loved that there was such a wide selection of flavors to accommodate everyone's preferences. It was a perfect way to end a really enjoyable evening and I look forward to using them again in the future.

    You know you want to try more than one !!!

    After a not so great lunch down the street we stopped in here to make up for it ! So happy we did, the woman (the owner) was so nice and personable. The cupcake selection was pretty decent. Chocolate for me and even non chocolate options for my boyfriend!! I like how the cupcakes are mini, just means you get to try more :) so worth a try !!!

Great spot for dessert after dinner or as part of a date, too. I specifically went in for the "fancy" hot chocolate, which is made with real chocolate pieces. The baked goods were also tasty - my only suggestion is to make sure you ask to have your item warmed up, depending on what you get, as they are kept in a cool case and something like a brownie for example was pretty hard to eat. The sever did recognize this and offered to heat it up after the fact; which made it perfect. All of the baked goods were perfectly wrapped or garnished. The interior has a decent amount of seating and lots of dried flowers everywhere. Definitely try the hot chocolate!

We picked up a…read morepumpkin tarte and an apple tarte--each meant to serve about six--and both were delicious. The flavors were balanced, the pastry was buttery and delicate, and they looked as good as they tasted. The total came to $50.65, which feels pretty standard for a French bakery once you understand the baseline is a bit higher than your typical American dessert spot. For the quality, it's well worth it. Consistently great, reliably tasty, and perfect for special occasions or whenever you want to treat yourself. The staff is friendly. It's usually busy here and not conducive to eating inside.

The croissants were great when you lightly air fry/toast them if you don't eat them right away. In Lawrenceville, it's a small location with a couple of outdoor seating but none inside. However, it is a chain so you might have one in your little area. My only thing is that the pistachio eclair is very sweet (so if you don't have a sweet tooth, maybe I'd go for another subtler dessert). I saw they have a deal where you can get a baguette, sandwich, and drink for $7. Good deal imo considering the quality of their bread, and it's a good excuse to buy a sweet treat with it!

Such a fun, hands on experience getting to see Kyle in action and the amount of hard work that goes into every order. I loved hearing his stories about his childhood and his family influences. Kyle is only 31 and has owned his business for over 7 years! That's impressive. You can really see the passion behind his baking. He works incredibly hard and even sacrifices a lot of his social life to keep growing his business, perfecting his craft, and supporting his community. Small business, big story! definitely a spot worth supporting in Pittsburgh!!!!! Thank you Kyle & Lisa
