    Fast service, enough variety. Couldn't order online for 6 cupcakes so had to do it person. Would have preferred being able order ahead and pick up. But tasted good and friends all enjoyed the flavors.

    Creme Brulee Cupcake

    As delicious as they look! They're usually filled with some sort of crème or filling in the middle that makes the cupcake extra fun to eat. There are so many flavors to choose from I'm sure there's something for everyone in here. On top of that, the woman behind the counter was friendly and not pushy (like some others are). We are inside because it was raining and the interior was surprisingly modern. Only complaint is how weirdly low the chairs are. Not docking points for that though. I highly recommend coming here! -AT

    This place is located in the west loop area. The staff were friendly and attentive. They have a wide selection of cupcakes that you can choose from. I decided to go with the butter, scotch and the cream Brulé,. The cream Brulé is ridiculously amazing and I highly recommend. The butterscotch was not as tasty it was a little dry. The prices are decent. There are plenty of tables where you can sit down and enjoy your delicious treats. The decor is nice and fun. They have street parking where you can pay to park. No one informed me of any rewards program when you pay if you ever have you square it shows up as Muslim company and you get an email which can be a little confusing. I hope you enjoy.

    Their churro cupcake will always hit, its a must have. But my absolute favorite is the crème Brûlée cupcake definitely my favorite!

    This place is amazing! I love cupcakes! They are one of my favorite desserts and having moved from Los Angeles, I've been looking for a great dessert place, and THIS IS IT. I knew I was going to be in the area rather late and that by the time I got there, they might be out of some flavors, so I called in the early afternoon and put my 6 on hold. The lady who answered the phone was very nice and offered for me to pay over the phone or in person when I picked up. After deliberating which to get, I settled on: -peach cobbler: this has vanilla cake with brown sugar strussel, filled with peach cinnamon purée, topped with whipped cream and a sliver of peach. This is hands down the BEST cupcake I have ever had in my life! This thing is just sooooo good! It's no wonder they won cupcake wars with it. Seriously, if you're torn between what to get, just get this. You will be so happily surprised! I love peaches and peach cobbler is one of my favorite pies, but I had no idea a cupcake could be so good. It is balanced so well between fruit sweetness and the creaminess of whipped cream, and yet it is so light. I could eat several of these in a row! It's unlike any cupcake you've had before. -salted butterscotch caramel: wow! This is my second favorite. This has butterscotch pudding inside and salted buttercream frosting and caramel drizzle on top. In general, I'm a fan of butterscotch and caramel, but I love it when the sweetness is cut by salt. I mean- such a perfect rounded out flavor profile. Sweet and salty, you can't go wrong. So, when I read that they had this cupcake, I went for it, and I'm glad I did. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. It was sooo moist and just the perfect sweetness to salt ratio. -cookie dough: this is good, but not my fav. The first cupcake I ever had that had cookie dough inside was in LA at cafe23 and that was amazing. This one, is good, but it's not excellent. Maybe, that's because I had such high expectations of this being my favorite, that I let myself down. That or, their other cupcakes just blew this one out of the water. - crème brûlée: I was pleasantly surprised by this. The staff member working said this was his favorite and I can see why. It's not my favorite, but I get the appeal. Personally, I love crème brûlée. I almost always get it when it's on the menu, and that may be why I liked but didn't love this. I would get it again, if I were hankering for a crème brûlée, but I would get the peach cobbler or the butterscotch everyday. -chocolate decadence: this has chocolate cake, with chocolate moose, topped with chocolate ganache. It is essentially the best chocolate cake you've ever had, except in the shape of a cupcake. If you're craving chocolate, get this and you won't be disappointed. -Samoa: I didn't try this, but my boyfriend enjoyed it. He agreed that of the 6, the peach was the best though.

    Happy to see this Molly's cupcake near Fulton Market area. We venture here after our activity. And of course these desserts delivered .

    Dropped by here on a whim as I was searching the city for desserts late at night and boy was I surprised at the wealth of creative flavors and options available to me. Only got two but eager to come back and try even more of the flavors! Staff was super nice even though I came in 5 minutes before closing. I ordered the Peach Cobbler and the Creme Brulee. While they are slightly smaller than other boutique cupcakes, the flavors are well-cultivated and refined.

    Sweet little cupcake shop right off the L. The ladies working were very kind and patient while we tackled the impossible task of selecting flavors. I went with a dirty chai cupcake and it was decadent.

    Cake Batter, Blueberry Cheesecake, Creme Brulee, Peach Cobbler, The Ron Bennington, Samoa

    By far the best cupcakes I have ever had! Forget about all those other cupcake places in Chicago, they cannot compare to Molly's. I have never had a more soft, moist, or flavorful cupcake. None of the cupcakes were overly sweet. I got 6 different flavors and not one was a disappointment. Here's a breakdown: - Cake Batter: Icing was light, fluffy, and not too sweet like most store bought cupcakes. The center was exactly like cake batter in consistency and taste. - Blueberry cheesecake: Tasted just like a blueberry muffin. - Crème brulee: Somehow it makes you feel as if you are eating crème brulee. Fruit on top is a nice touch to break up the sweetness. - Peach cobbler: The icing on top is basically whipped cream, it is so fluffy and light. Dusted with cinnamon on top and filled with spiced peach, it is sure to bring a smile to your face. - Ron Bennington: Chocolate and peanut butter, how can you go wrong? The icing on top melts in your mouth. Just heavenly. - Samoa: Perhaps the most well known and definitely the crowd favorite. Can't stop thinking about the whipped cream topping with shredded coconut, chocolate drizzle, and gooey caramel center. You can be sure I will be back to try all of the other flavors!

    I always get Molly's cupcakes and we decided to try a cake for my birthday. My boyfriend forgot to order it 48 hours in advance, but they still accepted our order with some modifications! With everything going on with the pandemic, this was greatly appreciated. We got a chocolate decadence cake and it tastes just like the cupcake. I absolutely loved it! The only downside was the thickness of the frosting. It was about an inch thick, but the cake was rich and moist and the ganache was not overpowering. I'd definitely get another cake from them and I'll continue buying their cupcakes.

    I didn't see this note before complaining. Felt like a jerk!

    Tonight I ordered delivery through DoorDash and got a bunch of items, including an order for two eclairs. There was no issues with the timing but when the delivery showed up I was disappointed with the fact that (at the time) I thought there was a mistake and they had two cupcakes instead of giving me two eclairs. Sent a note to DoorDash and they credited me $2 and said they would talk to the restaurant. As I was cleaning up tonight I saw what I thought was a receipt in the bag but it was a note explaining what happened and that they ran out of eclairs. Talk about feeling like a complete jerk! I just called the store and profusely apologized. I'm sure they never get any happy callers or positive feedback but in this case I was completely wrong and should've looked through everything before making assumptions. Thank you for great work and service! Molly's has been one of my personal favorites since the early days and the fact they're in the S Loop near me is just awesome!

    Molly's never fails! I've ordered Molly's several times from my Birthday cupcake, to quarantine parties, to random drop ins. Molly's has a variety of regular cupcakes, as well as chocolate and vanilla vegan cupcakes. They also have coffee, lates, teas, etc! I'd love to see MORE VEGAN DESSERT OPTIONS from Molly's, but otherwise I have no complaints :)

    I ordered 6 cupcakes. They were dry & just not as good as the other locations. Not worth the price or calories.

The cheesecake topping tasted almost like custard and paired well with the blueberry cupcake base. Chocolate sea salt caramel... 10/10. This might actually be one of the best cupcakes I've ever had. Rich chocolate cake, caramel sauce in the middle, buttercream that wasn't too sweet, and the salt on top tied everything together perfectly. Peach cobbler was insane. 1000/10. It tasted like pumpkin pie and apple pie combined, probably from all the cinnamon. Not overly sweet, super light cream, and just perfection. Definitely worth the hype. The chocolate sea salt caramel and peach cobbler might actually be the best cupcakes I've ever had.

I've been a customer of almost 10 years and have been obsessed since they first opened their doors at a different location. I literally live an hour away without traffic and even longer with traffic, but I make sure to stop by or send someone else to get it for me at least once a month or more. I love the amazing cakes that are so delicious and unique but on top of that, it is Asian owned, LGBTQ supporting, etc. A lot has changed since their little storefront with no seating. The bakery is now a full on cafe and I'm so happy to see how much they've grown and how successful they are. And while it is glorious, I will say I miss the sweet neighborhood charm and great customer service it used to have. Getting in touch with the bakery through phone or text can be tough and to be honest, sometimes one of the people working there is kind of...very mean. It had me questioning if I should keep coming back. I just love this bakery so much though and being raised by parents that had a small food business, I can't help but want to support. I had a particularly difficult last minute request for the bakery a few weeks ago and I was reminded why this place is so great. It had been YEARS since I made this specific request, which was an order for a slice of cake for every flavor and a cupcake for every flavor. This is a BIG and time consuming request, especially if it's last minute. Unfortunately I come to the city whenever the traffic isn't atrocious, so it's always last minute. Dom absolutely pulled through though. Even though there were other employees there (I saw two others but one disappeared and then another male was kind of walking around the cafe and such), Dom took this giant request and fulfilled it himself. The other gentleman (not the mean person previously mentioned) was actually who I made the request to, but he told Dom to do it. I was kind of confused why they didn't do it together but idk, maybe the other guy isn't allowed to handle food? Who knows. Regardless, this request obviously took a long time and the line was getting longer; people were getting a little restless but Dom stayed calm but was swift. I swear he was moving faster than most people in the industry could with a cake knife like that. He was not impatient or rude to me at all. He was just there to do his job as fast and well as possible. It's so rare to see that type of work ethic. He is also so obviously proud of the bakery and the food they serve which makes you feel good about being a patron there. So although I continue to have an unpleasant experience with one particular employee there, Dom keeps my love for this bakery alive. He reminds me of what this bakery was like when they first opened their doors. I hope Dom is cherished there and I bet he is considering his work ethic. I will continue to support this bakery and I recommend everyone else to support as well. It may not be that small little shop anymore but Dom is a reminder of the heart of the place.
