    The customer service here was amazing!!! The lady was so helpful and so patient while I couldn't decide on all the delicious flavors. Have to say my favorite one was the carrot cake as you can see, it barely made it through the photo shoot. Red velvet was decadent and delicious as well! Also tried their hot cocoa bombs and loved them, hopefully they'll start having them all season long!

    Edit: 5/21 Sal the business owner keeps reporting or having delegates report my review. Not sure why. If he wants to he can reach out to me and provide cupcakes for me to review again if he wants me to try it again. Ate cupcakes from here a while back. My last review was removed for whatever reason but I'm rewriting to make sure a valuable review is provided. The cupcakes we had were not moist at all. The frosting seemed like it was a bit too whipped. I've made much better cupcakes at my own house. The people inside for pickup seemed nice. This was before all of the COVID problems. I would not come back and order from here. I've found more local options online for better tasting cupcakes than this corporate location. I also don't agree that they should have their business open during a quarantine. They are non essential and have no business operating right now. Regardless the cupcakes were not the sweetest or that moist. 4/10 would not recommend. The location in Naperville does it better. Take the extra drive. Scenic route.

    I don't think I've had a bad cupcake from here. I've tried to support as many cupcake businesses as possible since they're my favorite treat but small cakes is where it's at! My favorite is their birthday cake. I purchased 6 cupcakes today for about $22. They are larger than your typical cupcake.

    Salted caramel was so good!

    I stopped by Smallcakes yesterday for the first time. I was picking up pizza at Lou's next door and thought I'd stop by and check them out. When I walked in I honestly thought they were closing shortly because they were so empty... I selected 6 cupcakes even though there weren't many to choose from, which left me a little disappointed. Since this was the first time coming my first impression wasnt great. I wasnt treated when I entered. I really think your front service people should be outgoing and more inviting. However, the cupcakes I did choose were very good. Definitely loved the salted Carmel. I will try them again and hope to find a bigger selection in the future.

    I meant to snap a photo prior to digging in, however, was clearly unable to resist. Cupcakes and cake pops were delicious!

    Delicious! We had the peanut butter and the pumpkin cupcakes tonight. The service was good and the guy working there knew his products. The cupcakes were moist and just the right amount of sweet. The pumpkin was good, but that peanut butter...yum! My boyfriend had to share after I watched him, with my sad eyes, dig into that gooey chocolate! I also didn't offer to share my pumpkin with him. I'm stingy like that. If you are a non-sharer, like me, get 2 of each!

    Packed up and ready to go!

    I was geeked when I ran across this cupcakery while driving! I never knew it was even there! After hearing so many good reviews about it I was excited to give it a shot on July 3rd. I was also pleasantly surprised that they were running a special buy one get one free! I later discovered this after I picked out four cupcakes. So I basically ended up leaving with eight cupcakes for only $16.50 which was a great deal in my opinion! I also tried the wedding cake ice cream and it was sooooooo good! I vowed to get a scoop or two next time I visit!! Lol. I became a reward member which will give me the opportunity to earn free cupcakes! Can the deals in this place get any sweeter? Lol. My mom, sister and I decided to try out the cupcakes as soon as I brought them in the house! Lol. We were very pleased and agreed that all of the cupcakes were delicious!! Omgeeeee! The red velvet cupcake was so yummy and the cream cheese frosting on it was amazing! The Boston Cream Pie is perfect if you don't like your cupcakes too sweet. It also had a filling that made the cupcake super moist! If you enjoy peanut butter and chocolate then you must get the Peanut Butter Cup cupcake!! Soooo yummy! I loved how this chocolate cupcake just melted in my mouth and the frosting was sooo good as well!! Mmmmm.... My sister had the birthday cake cupcake and she stated that it was very good! My mom enjoyed the hot fudge sundae cupcake and all three of us LOVED the Peanut Butter Cup cupcake! This one was our fave so far!! I so wanted to try the Wedding Cake cupcake,however, they didn't have any so next time I will try to grab one if it's available! The server was super nice and patient while I made my selections and trust me it was hard!! Lol I wanted to get them all! Lol. The store was clean, cute, and organized. I loved how the cupcakes were displayed and I will be back soon!

    a variety of cupcakes

    We had booked with Small Cakes for our wedding and I'm so glad that we did! Tanya was incredible to work with throughout the entire process. She was so bubbly and fun to work with. It's obvious that she truly loves what she does. With us having a wedding during COVID, plans had definitely changed. She was on top of it and made sure that she spoke with us again to go over the final details with all the new plans. She was willing to make any design we asked for, and they looked great! They tasted amazing as well! We will definitely be going back to get more cupcakes from them. Photography done by Inspired Eye Photography

    Better than usual ice cream in Aurora. Charlie's is located on Stolp Island in a former factory…read morelocation. It has kind of a limited selection but the flavors are more exotic than typical. Has okay prices even though it's premium and small batch. They also have a few sorbets but it's random. A bad thing is the ever changing hours. It's hard to know when they're open. They're open longer in summers. As expected. It's about $5 to get a scoop. Has an okay amount of flavors to choose. There's not a whole lot but it's still an okay amount for a smaller locally owned place. A few non dairy sorbets are among the rotating flavors. Last time they had the Pink Grapefruit Sorbet. Had the sourness and sweetness of the fruit prepared with sugar on it. There's also other flavors such as espresso and tangerine. For sure it's a great idea to call ahead before going. It's got a bunch of flavors and they change these random times. They're usually closed on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.

Price was surprisingly good for the amount we got. My DH loved the shake. I thought the sundae was good, but OMG that grape slushie was the best thing I've had in ages! I'm going back just for that! I don't even like slushies usually. Think the last time I had one was in Kmart when I was in high school. My only complaint was the stupid people who thought revving their suped up cars and motorcycles in front of the place was the height of entertainment. I know the store can't do anything about that but it was very annoying.

Okay prices with most things within a couple of bucks. There's a few benches and tables. Basic menu of cool treats and hot eats. It's a long time local hangout in spring and summer. The menu has about what one expects with a few interesting additional things. Has some good prices to think about. It's about $2 for a slushie. There's basic flavors like blue raspberry and some more too. It's about $1 for a popsicle. You can get hot food too. Many greasy things like burgers, fries, and hot dogs. The seating area is kind of limited but there's usually enough unless it's packed. For sure it's one of the classic places around here to get ice cream. It's closed Mondays. They're one of those seasonal places that closes in winter.

    I've been a longtime fan of Area 51 Cupcakery, so naturally, I trusted them with one of the most…read moreimportant desserts I've ever ordered -- a custom cake for my brother's first-ever surprise 50th birthday party. Two weeks before the event, I came in person with a printed cake design, a clear color theme (green, cream, and white), and a macaron accent order to go with it. I was flexible on the design details, just committed to the vision. On the day of pickup, I arrived a little late -- my fault -- but there was no cake waiting, and my order couldn't be found. Hannah behind the counter did her best, and when owner Robert walked in, I calmly explained everything from the start. I won't lie -- I was heartbroken more than angry. This was a big night. What happened next is why I'm writing this review. Robert and his team didn't hesitate. They snapped a photo of the design from my phone, asked every detail, and promised to make it right -- with Robert personally delivering the cake to the venue (thankfully just 5 minutes away). And he did. He showed up with the cake designer in tow and delivered something truly stunning: a handsome, elegant cake that fit the theme perfectly and genuinely wowed my brother and guests. And the flavor? Their Atomic. Banana (pudding), strawberries (jam), and chocolate, vanilla & banana cake. YUM! It was incredibly moist and delicious. What could have been a devastating hiccup for such a milestone night became one of the most memorable parts of the celebration. That's a testament to Robert and his team's character, dedication, and craft. Thank you, Area 51 Cupcakery. We've loved your cupcakes from day one, and this experience only deepened our loyalty. We'll always come back.

Yuuuup, I'll be here on a monthly basis. They also have a punch card system. Every 12 cupcakes will get you 1 cupcake for free. The inside is super cool, there are numerous spots for photo ops and they even have a ring light and camera holder if interested in using it. My first time visiting I tried the following cupcakes: chai pumpkin latte (daily special and DANGGGG DELICIOUS), Almond wedding (my least favorite but still good, I think almond cupcakes just aren't for me), cookies and cream (divine, rich, 2nd favorite), and the Boston cream (also 2nd favorite lol). All of the cupcakes were moist, fluffy, and full of flavor. They are made daily and you can feel and taste the love. Area 51 is definitely my favorite cupcake spot of all time. I've gone to Area 51 probably every week since finding em and I can't get enough. They also made cupcakes for my baby's gender reveal. They were extremely accommodating and everything turned out perfect! I highly recommend them for custom cakes, cupcakes, or even just grabbing 1 of their daily made cupcakes. SOOO GOOD!
