I've ordered from here several times, and the cupcakes are typically excellent. Unfortunately, my most recent order--an assorted dozen of filled cupcakes--contained a long blonde hair in the frosting. That's a serious hygiene concern and, for me, a dealbreaker. I hope the team takes this feedback seriously and reinforces proper food safety practices, including consistent use of hairnets and attention to cleanliness. Given this experience, I'm hesitant to order again unless these issues are clearly addressed. read more

I love this place! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a great atmosphere!!! Really fun and vibrant. Huge chalkboard art and fun lunch boxes, and swing seats.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The cupcakes are great! My boyfriend surprised me with a Samoa flavored one, like the Girl Scout cookie, and it was very moist, flavorful, and addictive. A friend of mine is vegan and I brought a dozen vegan cupcakes from here to his birthday party and they were a hit. Everyone liked them. They offer chocolate and vanilla for vegan options and I got an assorted dozen so we had: chocolate cake topped with chocolate icing, vanilla cake topped with vanilla frosting, vanilla cake topped with chocolate icing, and Chocolate cake topped with vanilla frosting. Excellent service. read more

Great, quick, and wonderful experience! I went into this location with the idea of wanting to buy one cupcake for my wife... I left buying 4 haha They were all delicious and tasted high quality! The reason I purchase 4 was because they had a special promotion going on and I would have never known without the Server helping me out. So just because of that, I give this place & location a 5 stars! It's a bit pricey, like I wouldn't be able to go here as often because of it, but because of the wonderful customer experience, I'm going back because of that! Thank you cashier and Molly's Cupcakes, see you soon. Personal Review: 8.4/10 read more

Molly's Cupcakes - Cupcakes Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I love, love, love Molly's Cupcakes. I've had them a few times, but I never stopped inside of a store before, and I absolutely needed a sweet treat after dinner. Molly's has thee best cupcakes in city, not even kidding, but I didn't know they had such cute stores too! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was really spacious in here. They have a fun science wall and a lunch box wall. It was really cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff were so sweet and kind. I managed to snag the last strawberry cheesecake, and I truly could've eaten like five more of them. Molly's has some pretty great flavors for their cupcakes like Blueberry Cheesecake, Crème Brûlée, Peach Cobbler. They also have other cheesecake flavors, which I thought was near. I almost tried the cherry cheesecake, but had to stick with what I love from Molly's. Highly, highly recommended! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cool decorations, school themed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is the second Molly's I've been to. Got the Tiramisu, which was great. Staff was friendly and gave the recommendation on the Tiramisu. read more

I tried the Cookie Monster and the Strawberry Lemonade cupcakes and both were dry and tasted old. The icing was mediocre at best and the cake itself had a strange spongy texture. The only decent one was the Strawberry Cheesecake, but even that wasn't impressive enough to make up for the others. Mollys Cupcakes seems to be all hype with small, overpriced cupcakes that don't live up to their reputation. For the price they charge, I expected much better quality and freshness. I wouldn't recommend this place unless you're okay with paying premium prices for subpar cupcakes. There are much better bakeries in Chicago worth visiting instead. read more

We stopped by on a whim one evening as we walked through the city. Staff greeted us warmly even though it was approaching the time they closed. They had a large case full of multiple flavors, all with a description of what was in the cake provided. In the end we tried the Samoa cupcake as a well as a chocolate lava cake of some sort. When you first looked at these cakes I did wonder if you could possibly have each of the multitude of ingredients stand out, and Molly's succeeded. Each individual ingredient was a star in its own way and tied together beautifully. The cake was fresh and light. This stop will be added to our frequents when we visit Chicago. read more

Molly's Cupcakes is easily one of the best cupcake spots in Chicago -- if not the best. With Sprinkles no longer around, my son and I decided to try a few different flavors here, and every single one was excellent. He especially loved the Nutella cupcake, while my favorites were the seasonal strawberry and the raspberry. What really stood out is that the cupcakes aren't dense -- they're light, airy, and fluffy, with plenty of delicious filling inside. Perfectly balanced and satisfying. I highly recommend Molly's to anyone looking to satisfy a sweet tooth! read more

The specialty cupcakes are so good at Molly's! They all have filling on the inside (which is not just frosting) unique to each flavor. The cookie cupcake had cookie dough in the center which was so good. The sprinkles one has cake batter inside - might be my favorite one! Blueberry one was really taste too. They have flavors you can't get everywhere and I heard they even make a ras malai cupcake during Diwali so I'll have to go back to try that one! read more

Mollys is my favorite cupcake place/bakery in South Loop. I love the setup of the shop; there are plenty of tables for people to sit, and they even have games available for customers to play. The sweets are all displayed in glass cases, so I don't have to worry about bugs flying around. Recently, they introduced the option to create your own cupcake cake, which is really cool. During my visit, I tried the strawberry bubbles and the cake batter cupcakes, along with a doggy treat for my furry friend. I appreciated that they sell dog treats, and the person taking my order even threw in an extra one for free, which was really nice of her. I especially love these cupcakes because they have an extra surprise inside, which is always a delightful treat. read more

Mollys by far is my favorite!! I have never had a cupcake as good as Mollys. Every single cupcake that I have tried has been one of a kind. They are all filled with so much flavor and not to mention they are the cutest cupcakes ever. These cupcakes really live up to their name. They are all so unique and embody the dessert it's named after. This particular day I had cookies and cream, strawberry shortcake, peach cobbler, Cookie Monster, my absolute fave creme brulee, and red velvet. Every single cupcake was like heaven in my mouth. And did I mention they deliver!! You can order these cupcakes and have them deliveredby door dash! Even better right?? However if you're in the area you might want to stop inside. Look at how nice it looks. Very creative and esthetically pleasing. read more

I tried Molly's cupcakes on my Chicago trip and I fell in love!! It was a really cold night and I wanted a sweet treat so I went on door dash and saw that they had buy one get one free on their most popular cupcakes. I decided to get the tiramisu, creme brûlée, and chocolate. They were so delicious and soft and they had filled centers! I love these cupcakes I will be back when I'm in Chicago! read more

I was HOOKED on Molly's cupcakes when I visited Chicago. My personal favorite by far was the white chocolate raspberry. I tried most of the cupcakes and nothing beat the white chocolate raspberry. The cupcakes were just SO good. And the interior design was super cute! They had cute swing seats. There was a book wall with lockers across from it on the way to the restroom. Everything here was just adorable, it was well lit and great for some cute pictures. They also had two giant stuff animals in one of the seating spaces. The place is self serve, they have a station with forks, napkins, a sink and everything you need to clean up. Tl;dr - Great interior for cute pics. Cupcakes are delicious. Love the white chocolate raspberry read more

Now I will say this review is only for this location (granted I have never tried the other locations etc). I think the concept of l filled cupcakes is so fun, and Mollys has a variety of great flavors on rotation usually. The price I think is reasonable to other cupcake/ bakery shops in the city (though a bit pricey in general; I blame inflation and Chicago just being expensive in general ) The reason I'm giving 3 stars is for the service. Truly not an amazing customer experience, the staff felt like they didn't want me there as a customer and was kinda rude honestly. I think I'll try my luck at the other locations if I really want another Mollys cupcake. read more

Decent cupcake shop. I'd say a 3.5. If the service was a little nicer the day I went, I'd probably give them a 4, but it definitely impacted my experience. Didn't want to spend too much time there after I ordered. However, the cupcakes were solid. Not party-in-your-mouth good, but tasty and good texture. Good frosting to cake ratio... I'm sure if you used them for catering a party or getting a large order for a party, people would be satisfied. read more

Apparently, this is the winner of cupcake wars on food network. I was here to go to 3 little pigs, that works out of the same spot. While I waited I thought I would try the cupcakes. $4.50 for a cupcakes. Not a lot, but it's not that big. However, I digress. I had the creme Brulee cupcake. It was tasty. I liked the hardened sugar on top, like traditional creme brulee. Will come back and try some other flavors read more

The things are filled! You aren't just getting dough with frosting on top! Absolutely an instant favorite that makes me wish I were local. The display case has each cupcake perfectly labeled with the cake, filling, and topping. The display also has cute little superlatives (e.g., most likely to succeed). I ordered an Apple Pie. The cupcake was great! The cake, frosting, and filling were all flavorful and not a mouthful of sugar. The location has a cool schoolhouse theme, with chairs, desks, and even some [anchored] swings that take me back to when my age was in the single digits. The colossal chalkboard is pretty cool too. read more

Mollys cupcakes is a cute bakery with loads of delicious sweet treats to satisfy your dessert cravings. Popped by to grab some cupcakes for a party and got a nice assortment of mini cupcakes to go. With flavors like creme brûlée, key lime, Samoa, red velvet, it's hard to pick just one! We got a peanut butter Nutella cupcake to try before heading out. We perched ourselves on the swing seats and dug in! The cupcake was a little more firm, and almost had the consistency of a soft peanut butter cookie. The buttercream on top was so fluffy and packed a lot of peanut butter flavor without it being too thick. Inside, a glob of Nutella awaited us! It kind of all came out in one big ball when we bit into it, but who doesn't like a mouthful of Nutella. I just wish it was a little more evenly distributed in other bites. Overall, Molly's cupcakes is a crowd pleaser and delicious choice of dessert. I asked the employees a couple of questions about the business and they didn't know any of the answers. It's always preferable to talk to someone than resort to googling on my own, but that won't stop me from coming back in the future. There are a few locations in the Chicago area to check out! read more

Coming from DC, I had to find a great cupcake shop here in Chicago, so I tried Molly's. I ordered a variety of flavors, and I'm glad that they offer so many options on a daily basis. Not only do they have regular sized cupcakes, they have minis, sell ice cream, brownies, cookies, pies, and mini cheesecakes. I love the variety offered, and the cupcakes were all pretty tasty and distinct. My only gripe was that the cupcakes are served cold, so I had to let them sit out and thaw before serving. The cupcakes are also all filled on the inside. That was interesting and a first for all flavors to have a filling, I would have just like to know beforehand. The cupcakes were good, but their cheesecake was not my favorite -- it had a consistency of melted marshmallows and was difficult to get the graham cracker crust out of the tin pan since the cheesecake and crust didn't melt together read more

Good cupcakes but definitely had better. I got the blueberry cheese cake and the lady customized her own. They werent bad but they weren't the best. Not a place I think worth coming back to.

I always appreciate vegan options. The have two vegan options; chocolate cupcake and vanilla cupcake with chocolate or vanilla frosting. No frills. I had a vanilla cupcake with vanilla frosting. The cupcake cake was very heavy and I didn't care for the taste, but the frosting was very delicious! I could eat that frosting alone. The have a wide-variety of cupcakes; hopefully they expand the vegan flavors. The other cupcake in my photo is not vegan it was for another person. read more

Came here to try the GF cupcakes. First off the inside of this place looks so amazingly cute. The decor is very modern, clean and just looks fun with a huge wall shleved with lunch boxes. They even have swings for seats. Very nice, inviting and makes you want to sit in to have a cupcake. I had the chocolate GF cupcake. It was really good and it's pretty similar to a brownie. My hubby had a vanilla cupcake and he loved it. Delightful visit and I'd definitely come back here again. read more

This is the second time that I have been here! Ambiance-Unique with a "Scientific" take on the walls! Think-your High School Chemistry Class "Periodic Table" abbreviations according to the planet of "cupcake compounds!" Brilliant considering it is on the campus of Roosevelt!

I ordered a Birthday Cake centered filled and Red Velvet Chocolate Lava center filled cupcake. Nicely packaged in a packaging that is enough to protect your goodies on the "Rush Hour" train commute! read more

Their blueberry cheesecake cupcakes are amazing--one of my favorite cupcakes ever! I've also ordered through Too Good To Go and got a dozen mini cupcakes for about $6. The red velvet, chocolate, and vanilla mini cupcakes were delicious. I wasn't huge on the carrot cake, but my husband liked them. I think the price is maybe a little bit high, but I have no complaints at all about the quality of their cupcakes or the service.

Loved this place when I lived in Chicago before, so when I realized we were staying about a block away from this location, I decided to bring my son. Got the cookie monster + chocolate decadence cupcakes and a chocolate sprinkle cake pop. The shop had the exact fun vibe that I remembered- the swings to sit on are too cute. The treats also have a somewhat homemade vibe to them. We all enjoyed our treats- hubby said he thought the cake was a bit dry, but he has watched way too much of the great british bakeoff, sooo.. take that as you will. read more

This is the fourth Molly's location we've been to. We were in the area dining at a restaurant and noticed the Molly's sign when we were walking to the restaurant from the parking garage. We made it a point to stop at Molly's and pick up a few cupcakes. The "Ron Bennington" cupcake is their number 1 seller and is just one choice from a very large selection of items in their cases. The service is always friendly at each of the locations I've been to. read more

Yes, they're Food Network award winning cupcakes. But you don't need Food Network to tell you these are award winning cupcakes. Good crumb. Moist cake. Great pairing of fillings and icings. Yes some of them can get super sweet. But it's definitely worth it sometimes. Bonus...they have vegan options. read more

Have been going here for deseerts for years and everyone in the family likes the cupcakes there!

I contacted Molly's cupcakes on south loop on 3/16/23 to place a custom cupcake order for 3/25/23, my birthday . order included 2 dozen mini cupcakes, custom assorted flavors, and a center filled cookies and cream. after not receiving confirmation by 3/18/23 I placed a call to the store to confirm email request. I spoke with an associate who said she would have the manager/boss/ supervisor call back once they were in the store. dori isufi, who's name I did not receive until 3/25/23, called back. confirmed email and order were received. no other information requested or provided at that time. I reached back out on 3/21 or 3/22 to confirm order should be available for pick up on 3/25/23. whomever I spoke confirmed order received. nothing else requested from me at that time. I still had not received email confirmation but under the impression the telephone contacts were sufficient. I go to pick up my cupcakes 3/25/23 as planned and am told that no order is ready because it was never paid for and there was nothing that could be other than placing an order for standard size cupcakes. I explained that despite numerous conversations with molly's cupcakes staff, I was never told about or provided an invoice for my order. no concession for inconvenience was offered at time. I double checked my inbox, spam and junk folder and the only email I could find linked to email address info.southloop@mollyscupcakes.com was my sent message from 3/16/23. on 3/25/23, I was given the number for the manager, mateo who I left a voicemail for that day and as of 3/31 I have not gotten any response. based on this experience I will not be retuning to Molly's south loop and will not recommend this location in the future read more
