We ordered 2 dozen cupcakes from Mercy, graduation themed. They were gorgeous! The school logo was on them and looked great. She delivered them to my house, which was a godsend! Once we finally were able to taste them we were so pleased. Banana cream and double chocolate. Both were fantastic. The pricing was more than fair for such quality. I will definitely order from Mercy again. read more

After an exhausting few hours shopping my daughter and I decided we needed a coffee break, but Starbucks was heaving and this place next door was empty and we could get a seat easily, and erm....cupcakes....need I say more? We chose the double chocolate and the campfire s'mores to share along with decaf coffee. We were surprised they had decent decaf ready as most places don't! The cupcakes were delicious. Moist with just enough frosting without it overwhelming the chocolate sponge. The cupcakes are laid out nicely and you can pick which ones you want. The young gal serving us was helpful and happy to pose for a photo and greeted us when we entered and waved goodbye as we left. Loved the decor with the cupcakes on show...go...treat yourself to a cupcake. Life is too short not to! read more

I am giving 5 stars only based off of the customer service I received. I ordered 2 cupcakes, didn't really care for them or the ingredients listed on the package. I believe it's just a personal preference and you may really enjoy them. Cake was moist, they had unique flavors. Definitely try this bakery for yourself. read more

One of my family members got these as a gift for their birthday, so I got to sneak a bite (or two) of the selections given. The quality of these cupcakes were excellent, and they kept really well despite being in the fridge for a week. The peanut butter and chocolate mousse cupcakes were phenomenal, absolutely decadent and delicious. The strawberry shortcake was subtle, but still lovely. The cinnamon one was the weakest, however. But what I liked about the cupcakes themselves were that they weren't too dry nor overly-moist-- just right. I approve of these cupcakes as the perfect treat to give as a gift! read more

Mercy's Cakes in Cups - Sorry about the picture of the partial cupcake! I just couldn't wait to take a few bites. - Bakeries Near Me - Torrance, California

We stumbled upon on this brand new business while hanging out at the Del Amo mall a couple of weeks ago. Located outdoors on the 2nd level near Starbucks and next to Jamba Juice. We ordered 4 cupcakes including Red Velvet, Banana Split, Strawberry shortcake and Cookie crumb. All were very good, and Banana Split was our favorite. We'll definitely go back and try the cookies next time! read more

I wanted to like this place. I gave two stats because of cleanliness. This place lacks customer service. We weren't greeted upon entrance. It was like we were a bother. I started to walk out immediately.Didn't receive cupcakes that were on display. I ordered the confetti cupcake. It was so dry seemed old an stale. It's a no for me. read more

I picked out 4 cupcakes from the glass display that looks so yummy for me and my kids ! However she put other cupcakes that were not even on display in my cupcakes box.. instead of strawberry shortcake with fresh cut dtatwnerrud on top I got a vanilla cup cake with strawberry frosting( box made tasting very dry dense not fluffy) we had already driving off because were were headed home to eat after dinner so I was so bummed we paid $15 for some makeshift cupcakes There was a child working under 7 years old ran credit card ! At first I was like thinking Manet her kids just there totally understandable but the daughter then rang us up swiped my card and I was like it seems almost illegal and unprofessional ..,, read more

Picked up a Drumstick cupcake (modeled after the popular ice cream cone) to try as the owner and her daughter seemed very sweet. Unfortunately it had an off-putting artificial flavor to it...perhaps it was the chocolate syrup filling? Regardless, I couldn't even get myself to take a second bite. read more

It was a great treat to find Mercy's Cakes in Cups at the Del Amo Mall the other week. The store is spotless, bright and appealing and the display of cupcakes is very neat and attractive. Service was excellent and the lady who assisted us was welcoming and friendly. As for the cupcakes, I'd say are exactly the right size and not in any way sickly with too much frosting - it's just the right amount. There's also a wide variety of flavors. When we went in it was quiet; it probably gets busier at other times, but if you're looking for an alternative to Starbucks and want to have a quick sit down mid shopping, a place to gather your thoughts, I highly recommend popping in to Mercy's for a lovely treat. read more

We got the hazelnut cupcake and it was solid, really great frosting! The design of the place was really cute as well and definitely a place well go back again! read more

These were good! The whole family loved them. They were the only bakery opened on a Sunday and we were skeptical ordering from them after reading a few previous reviews but they exceeded our expectations. Everyone said the strawberry cheesecake was the best. read more

Probably the best frosting I've ever had -- we did campfire, lemon, chocolate, vanilla they all slapped so hard

Had some delicious cookies with chocolate chips and nuts and they were literally some of the best cookies I've ever had!!! They were chunky and flavorful, tasty and not dry. Keep up the good work, my daughter and husband went crazy over these treats read more

So happy to support this business! Went to Old Navy at Del Amo to return some items and I stopped in to this cupcake store to buy some cupcakes and spent a little time talking to the owner, Mercy. What a lovely woman with such a positive attitude!! Everyone could use some sugar, sunshine and joy like that right now. I got the red velvet and strawberry shortcake and both were fantastic! Can't decide which one I liked better. I'll have to get more before making a decision. Get some fresh air, take a stroll, get some cupcakes and support local small businesses! read more

This is a cute little shop. I ordered the Zebra cupcake and the Chocolate cupcake. The frosting was good, not too sweet. The actual cupcake was dry. For $4.25 a cupcake, it was definitely was not worth it. read more

I stop here every Friday before the movies. Obsessed with this place! Cupcakes so good & the owner is super sweet.

I ordered a black/red velvet fondant cake. I've never had any of their products. I should have tried them out before purchasing. The decoration was ok. However, it was not the red velvet we're all used to and it was super dry. The same day the cake was picked up, we tried the pumpkin spice cupcakes. Those were dry, too. Reached out to to owner who apologized the flavors were not to our liking. Will not try again. Thank you. read more

Absolutely delicious! We tried a variety box and everything was so good! The strawberry shortcake, pumpkin spice, campfire s'mores, and cookies and cream were my kids favorites. Not to forget the brownies and cookies. Every bite was great! We came in to pick up an order of cocoa bombs (make sure you preorder those, they don't have any at the storefront) and could not leave without trying the rest of what this great shop has to offer. read more

Just happened to stumble across this place and wanted to try everything but couldn't decide!! Luckily they give you the option of ordering a variety box so that you can try the many different flavors of cupcakes that they have here and also try their amazing chocolate-covered pretzels, or even throw in some cookies/brownies. Out of all the cupcakes, I would have to say the strawberry shortcake was my absolute favorite!! I did a review on this place on my tiktok @alwaysstarvin I also loved the chocolate covered pretzels! I'm really excited about this place, I just placed an order for a special occasion, for my bf going to the Tokyo Olympics! Hope he enjoys! read more

Thanks Mercy's cakes in cups my daughters birthday cupcakes were amazing !!!!! Highly recommend this place

Ordered a variety box on DoorDash on a whim and was not disappointed! Loved every single one of the cupcakes. I'm a chocoholic, but surprisingly enough the Banana Split cupcake ended up being my favorite. Can't wait to try them again! read more

The owner is sweet and very friendly. She noticed that I was peeking in and invited me to come in to look around. I purchased the sampler box to treat the office. Im the sampler was 4 cupcakes (Strawberry,2 red velvet, and drumstick) and two brownies. The shop is immaculate and customer service outstanding. Everyone loved their dessert. read more

After eating a lunch late lunch today, I needed something sweet to complete my meal. We had the privilege of meeting a young lady by the name of Mercy and her 2 beautiful daughters. Mercy is the owner of "Mercy's Cakes in Cups" conveniently located in the Outdoor Village of Del Amo Fashion Center, 3525 W. Carson Street, Torrance, California 90503 between Jamba Juice and Starbucks. They offer cupcakes, cakes, muffins, cookies, brownies and so much more. We ended up getting 5 treats. I ask Mercy how her treats are made and she said from scratch. I asked if she had gluten-free items and she said "No, we use real ingredients and make all of our desserts with love, but if someone needed that special request I can do it." After i ate, I went back to ask more questions but she was not available, so I spoke to her oldest daughter. I asked how long has her mom been baking. She said that she has been creating her special desserts for about three years starting off at the farmers market in Bellflower, California. She has always been the dessert maker for the holidays for her family. With the backing of her love ones, she was able to get her spot at the Del Amo Mall in February, prior to the pandemic. Of course now, there is no indoor dining, so she had to move her display of sweet treats outside to the Courtyard area. While waiting in line, I heard some of the young ladies saying that they follow her on Instagram. They will help you present the perfect dessert for any special occasion. When you get a chance stop by her shop and check them out! read more

Walked into this place on December,31 at 3:15 ish to be exact, we were passing by because from the outside it looks really good, but as we walked in our daughter walked to check out the displays and a lady came out from the doors and literally screamed " DONT TOUCH THAT" LOUD in a very small store. As someone who has plenty of experience in customer service I would of definitely handled the situation differently maybe using another tone in your voice next time. A easy I'm sorry sweetheart can you please not touch the displays, how beautiful did that sound, maybe YOU should use my example next time. Remember that children are always going to be children. Right after we walked out because I couldn't believe that had happened, she gave us the most nasty looks to my daughter's and me, and did some type of hand motion, extremely immature and type of customer service. Maybe they should have a sign not children allowed or don't touch displays. NEVER STEPPING A FOOT into this place, I don't even scream at my own children. read more

Very good!! Owner was super nice and recommended the red velvet which was the best decision I made along with getting the cookie crumb cupcake!! Definitely a must and will be coming back soon! read more

These cupcakes were good. We got chocolate, S'mores and Red Velvet. The cake is a bit on the dry side. The frosting was sweet and tasty. The service was friendly and fast since there was no one in the store at the time we walked in. read more
