    Creme Brulee
    Tim P.

    Ordered a delivery. They have an amazing line up of cupcakes. Nothing was overly sweet. They have interesting flavors like crème brûlée. Highly recommend! Will definitely be ordering again.

    The place is super cute. They have swings you can sit on at a bar eating area. There are a variety of cupcakes and cookies to choose from. They also have lemonades. The server behind the counter was very nice and helpful with explaining the products. I ended up getting three cupcakes and a chocolate chip cookie. I loved the cupcakes but was not a fan of the cookies. I got a crème brûlée, blueberry cheesecake, and peach cobbler cupcake. I definitely would stop by again when I want a cupcake.

    This is a cute little cupcakes shop. First thing you notice when you walk in is the cute swings if you get the chance to snag one. Very limited amount of them and one with of them was out of order. Went during a beautiful spring day, but it was like a sauna inside. There's seating inside and areas to stand at the window and people watch while you eat your delicious cupcake. Got the crème brûlée and it did not disappoint. Nice crispy top, not too sweet and not too big. Welcome back to try the peach cobbler. The flavor selections were great.

    Came as the last stop of our Greenwich Village food tour. The best mini red velvet with perfect cream cheese frosting. My son and the teem siblings, that he met sat in the whimsical swing seats. We ordered a chocolate raspberry Chantilly cupcake with tart fresh raspberry filling and a giant rice crispy treat that was very special! Prices were less than San Francisco area $7 cupcake stickers. Fantastic balance of flavors and proportions of cake to frosting were perfect. There is the sweetest reading nook in the back.

    Beautiful and delicious cupcake selections. We came to Molly's as part of a food tour. We tried the mini red velvet cupcake with sweet cream cheese icing. It was yummy. I love that they have regular sizes as well as mini sizes, and vegan options. Beautiful atmosphere, and some of the seats are on a swing. Service is friendly and comfortable. I would definitely wanna come back and try other flavors.

    Red velvet cupcake was delicious. Cream cheese frosting was the star of the show, not too sweet, rich perfect consistency showcasing the cheese. I'd eat that frosting by the tub.

    Blueberry Cheesecake

    Couldn't decide on which cupcake to get, so many interesting choices. Ended up getting the crème brulee and the blueberry cheesecake cupcakes. Both are very yummy!

    Stopped here on a food tour earlier this month. I was a little surprised that we'd be trying cupcakes and I said to myself- how special can a cupcake be? I WAS WRONG! That miniature cupcake is something I haven't stopped thinking about since I had it. They are the winners of cupcake wars and the real deal!! That buttercream frosting- I wish they sold it so I could drink it. It was insane. Staff were friendly and inside was clean. I'll think about that cupcake and it's frosting forever. Cake was perfect and moist. Don't ever doubt a Mollys Cupcake!!

    This was my first time trying Molly's Cupcakes, and as someone with a serious sweet tooth, I can confidently say these cupcakes are delicious! They're perfectly balanced, sweet but not overly sugary, and the frosting is just right, not too buttery. I got the Spooky Halloween 4 pack Cupcakes. My favorite was the red velvet and the chocolate salted caramel cupcakes. I'll definitely be back to get some more. The shop itself is a nice size and has a lot of sitting. I felt a welcoming vibe there, like you can grab your cupcake, sit down for a while there to relax or read a book.

    I think this was truly the best cupcake I've ever had. I went near closing so many flavors were gone but this lemon flavor did not disappoint. Wow! The place is very cute and put together. Love the colors. Added bonus - there's a bathroom. Rare for a bakery in NYC.

    These cupcakes are delicious and unmatched with flavor that is always consistent. I purchased these for a birthday party and they were the star of the show! The service is always top notch. I always order a dozen it is a value price and you can mix the flavors. Some of my top flavors are birthday cake, peach cobbler, crème brûlée, blueberry cheesecake and brownie.

    I recently picked up a dozen cupcakes from here to celebrate a coworker's birthday. All the flavors are so good! They have plain build-your-own options (ex.: vanilla cake + vanilla frosting, etc.) and a ton of more special cupcakes (ex.: Boston Cream Pie). Good customer service and pretty affordable for how high-quality it is.

    Peach Cobbler, Apple Pie, Peanut Butter Nutella, and Boston Cream
    Cindy J.

    Once you eat one of these cupcakes... you wouldn't want to go back to any others. Their cupcakes are full with flavors. Try it. I got the peach cobbler, apple pie, peanut butter Nutella, and Boston's crème flavor cupcakes. I enjoyed the peach cobbler the most. My least was the Boston crème one. I would say the peanut butter Nutella came second and apple pie third place. Boston crème was good but needed more crème in the middle. I went to an event two days later and they had stop and shop cupcakes. I could not bring myself to have one stop and shop cupcake. I remembered the taste of Mollys cupcake. What makes Molly cupcake special is that , not only do they taste scrumptious, they are original. Mollys was inspired by a third grade teacher. I will say that it is certainly worth to try! They do not disappoint. Staff were very kind. Lovely ambiance. This location is located in Bleecker street, Manhattan. Near West 4th!

    Hello, I'd like to order a dairy free chocolate cake? Please let me know if that's possible!…

    They do a vegan chocolate cake cupcake.

    Do they deliver to the upper east side?

    I'm not sure if they do. I only came there in passing.

    Do you make vegan cakes to order and/or can I walk in and pick up a vegan cake?

    No they do not make vegan cakes! They only make vegan cupcakes, which are made daily but could sell out so place order a day before to be sure. Flavors are vanilla and chocolate for vegan options. =)

    Hey guys! Do y'all know of Molly's cupcakes deliver? Looking into maybe getting some delivered for Valentine's Day! Thanks in advance!

    Yes! They deliver for a fee or you can postmates

They have unique flavor and really satisfy your sweet tooth. The banana pudding is good but honestly it's pretty basic. (Unless you scoop some and put it on a cookie) Lastly the workers were very monotone and seemed annoyed to be there. They dropped my cookie (it was already in the bag) and didn't even offer another one just said "oh it's fine" I wouldn't come here again in New York because they're are so many options but I wasn't upset with the selections.

So fun fact they are now advertising Banana Pudding Hot Chocolate and it is NOT actual hot chocolate but banana pudding made to taste like hot chocolate. Why I got so confused? I don't know! Maybe I have been watching too many videos about Tyra Banks Hot Ice Cream. Either way I appreciate the guys patience and kindness when explaining it to me twice especially because I did not end up ordering that at all (though it sounds interesting) but I did get the regular actual hot chocolate and it was amazing! It tasted like melted marshmallows were in it! Perfect for a cold winter day. In addition we got to the humming bird cake, a cupcake, and the regular banana pudding. My husband had never been here before so you know we had to get the banana pudding, it's their claim to fame. And it is decent. Growing up in North Carolina banana pudding is taken very seriously and is literally at every gathering. Would this be a contender for the cookout? Sure! I have no complaints about. The other baked items were delicious as well. The store is cute unfortunately this location has no indoor seating but plenty of outdoor. It was like negative degrees when we went so we definitely did not sit outside. All and all it's a cute bakery/ sweets shop. There are many locations through out the city. I've been to others and it is consistent. It's definitely not a bad dessert spot to try.

While the presentation was 10/10 across the board, the flavors ranged from "nostalgic perfection" to "a bit of a letdown." ​ ​Devil Dog (The Winner): This was by far my favorite. It was a trip down memory lane, perfectly capturing that nostalgic Hostess chocolate cupcake flavor I loved as a kid. ​Lemon Raspberry Meringue: Coming in a close second, this cupcake was bright, fruity, and incredibly fresh. It felt light and offered a great balance to the richer flavors in the box. ​Ube: This cupcake was stunning to look at. However, the flavor didn't quite live up to the exotic profile of a purple yam; it tasted like a traditional vanilla cupcake that just happened to be purple. Great for the aesthetic, but standard in taste. ​Hummingbird: This was the only real disappointment. I was expecting the signature tropical punch of pineapple, but it lacked that acidity. Instead, it felt more like a simple banana nut muffin with icing on top. ​Final Verdict: Overall, the experience was positive. The shop clearly has a talent for decor and nostalgia. I'd definitely return for the Devil Dog and the Lemon Raspberry, but I might skip the Hummingbird next time. Last Note: The woman working in the bakery was a bit rude and had an attitude and that alone will make me not com back no matter how good the cupcakes are.

Remember when this was one of Carrie's hangouts on "Sex & the City"? That exposure triggered nearly 70 locations worldwide. Jamie W and I were back in the neighborhood after a tipple at Julius'. I have to admit I never understood the appeal of the cupcakes. However, I had never tried their banana pudding before, and I liked how you can grab a readymade carton from the fridge and pay for it right away. Meanwhile, a lot of self-absorbed women were crowded around the cupcake display waiting for their little boxes. We took our stash across the street to the mostly deserted playground.. Ah, so the pudding was the draw all along. We grabbed two, the $6.25 Chocolate Peanut Butter (Photo 5) and the $5.75 Classic Banana (Photo 4). They both have lighter-than-expected whipped cream and sliced bananas. Of course the classic layers Nilla vanilla wafers, while the other applies Oreo cookie crumbles and chocolate chunks. No complaints about either, though the classic still wins. FOOD - 4 stars..indulgent treats, aren't they? AMBIANCE - 3 stars...still packed after all these years, purely takeout SERVICE - 4 stars...for the pudding yes but for cupcakes, it's a sea of estrogen TOTAL - 4 stars...forget the cupcakes!

While I'm not the biggest cupcake fan, they have a nice selection of cakes, bars, and other things for pretty reasonable prices, especially in Midtown. The staff are also friendly. The most recent time, I got a Ube Buttercake Bar for $4.25, or something very similar. As per the name, it is made with ube, or purple yam, and it has a slight purplish hue. It was just a bit rich, had a soft texture inside, and had a very mild ube flavor with a bit of vanilla. The dessert was decent, but not strong enough of a ube flavor for me to buy it again. Much better was the Brookie I got the first time for $4.50 or so, listed as a blend of their Ooey Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookie Bar and Fudge Brownie. I was happy that the chocolate chip part was dark chocolate, and it wasn't overly sweet. Otherwise, it had a nice mix of textures, with some soft and crunchier parts. I liked it a lot more. The prices here are decent enough, and the quality isn't that bad. It's not a place I would go out of my way to go to, but it's nice to be nearby if I want to pick up a snack or something similar. I would probably try a slice of cake, or another bar such as their lemon or dream, next time.
