    Soft moist cake with creamy dreamy frosting. Service is prompt and pleasant. No lines. Clean and smells of divine sugaryness!

    Great cupcakes! There are so many flavor choices. Cute shop, very clean, well stocked, and in a shopping center with plenty of parking. Great tasting treats. Always fresh and perfect serving sized. So far, hot fudge sundae is my favorite flavor, but I can't wait to try them all. Stop in and try them out.

    Vanilla cake with buttercream frosting! Perfect for our daughter's 2nd birthday!

    This year for our daughter's 2nd birthday we were going with a Minnie Mouse theme. Of course I set out to find a local bakery who could make us a small Minnie Mouse cake for the party and took to Yelp to find one. Smallcakes San Antonio popped up and after looking through their gallery of custom cakes I felt like they would do a great job with what I wanted. So, I reached out via email and within the day I got a response. We chatted about the style of the cake I wanted and shared a reference photo. Then, once I got my quote I called the shop to place my order. Pickup was easy peasy and the cake turned out so beautiful. We received many compliments from our guests. Better yet - it tased just as great! So often you can find beautiful cakes but they don't have the flavor to match - not Smallcakes! The vanilla cake was light and had that wonderful vanilla flavor and the buttercream icing was the perfect amount. Overall, we had a wonderful experience ordering from Smallcakes and I couldn't recommend them enough should you be in need of a custom cake/cupcakes for your event! We will definitely be returning customers!

    Came here spontaneously for some dessert, the parking was great. A lot of open spaces, the shops kinda small when you walk in don't let that alarm you. The cupcakes pack a punch, super moist, super flavorful and so much variety for people and dogs. I tried the seasonal pecan pie cupcake, and it tasted exactly how it sounds. Light fluffy with pieces of pecan in the cupcake. The topping was the perfect amount of sweet. Definitely recommend. The customer service was great, the staff was super helpful and ready to answer any questions we had.

    The cupcake was so much bigger than I had expected it to be. So definitely worth the price in my opinion. I ordered the strawberry cupcake, cookies-n-cream, chocolate cream and caramel. The cake wasn't dry it was perfect. The topping for the Oreo cupcake wasn't that great only cause it didn't really give me a true oreo flavor, definitely could be better. My son devoured the chocolate cream cupcake. Caramel was good frosting was a bit heavy but still delicious. Service was great, cupcakes were ordered through door dash for delivery. It was packaged nicely and survived the drive. Ambiance; i haven't been to this place in person. But love the variety of cupcakes I saw on door dash.

    I was wandering around this strip center waiting for a friend and I wandered into Smallcakes. This is a cute little place where you mostly take out cupcakes, ice cream or other sweet offerings. There are many varieties of cupcakes available. I chose 5 different cupcakes and sat right there to eat a chocolate variety. Right away I was struck by how sweet the icing is. I prefer whipped icing, and this is about the sweetest sugar buttercream type icing I have ever eaten. I cannot say I enjoyed it. But the business was brisk with obviously repeat customers. I shared my selections with my friends a bit later, and they enjoyed all of them. The cake itself was tasty and moist. The price point is average for a cupcakery. I don't actually recall what I spent but possibly about $5 a cupcake might be in the range. They also offer small cakes to feed maybe 2-3 people for those times you need a bit more than a single cupcake. I'm giving it 4 stars because other than the icing, there is nothing I would improve, and the icing is just not my preference but others love it.

    Great customer service! They make custom cupcakes. Needed a sugar free cupcake with sugar free frosting for a family member who's diabetic, for their birthday. Small cakes San Antonio totally delivered. The cupcakes were moist, and the frosting was awesome, and I usually don't even eat frosting, but these were exceptional. Give em a try and support this local small business.

    These cupcakes are always moist and yumm. The edges can be dry vs the center which is moist. The icing is never finished but has great flavoring. The selection is adventurous and they even sell pup-cakes

    This place is amazing! I so glad I had looked into places around the area I moved into, because I am a very avid enjoyer of cupcakes! This place has very delicious and sweet cupcakes. They're a little expensive but that shouldn't hold you back from getting something great. I highly suggest that you try it especially with how good these pastries are. There shouldn't be anything holding you back from trying these, oh yeah and the staff is awesome!

    Finally!! A cupcake place I will come back too! The place is small but it doesn't need anything fancy or big since the cupcakes are great and big in flavor! I went a second time prior to posting my review to make sure the cupcakes were consistent and they were! The place is clean and if you go early enough, they display most of their available flavors right in the window! The ya rent shy about telling you about each and every cupcake; what's in it, what to expect, etc...the ladies at the counter were nice and informative. I ordered the choc-ho-lic, strawberry, and the cherry blossom cupcakes. Note: you can ask for medium sized cupcakes, if they have any. These are the same size of cupcakes you would maKe at home and not the ones on display which are much bigger. If they don't have the flavor available, ask if they have any in the back. Chances are they will! Take always: - choc-ho-lic: decadent, rich and incredibly moist and flavorful! It is every chocolate lovers dream! The frosting is velvety and not overly sweet. It complimented the cupcake perfectly. I could do without the chocolate sprinkles but they might do it for texture purposes. - strawberry: light and fluffy, you definitely get the strawberry flavor in both the cupcake and the frosting! They had a little sliver of strawberry on top which is nice! It would be great if they had some sort of a strawberry filling or gelee in the middle to bring the flavor out but nonetheless, you won't be disappointed. - cherry blossom: it's a vanilla based cake with a cherry flavored frosting and a maraschino cherry on top. The cake was light, fluffy and very moist! If there were any cherry flavors in it, I honestly didn't taste it. However, it was still very good. The frosting was light, sweet and definitely had the cherry flavoring. I thought there would be a cherry filling but I might have misunderstood the girl. I really enjoyed the frosting and would probably have it again! My recommendations since they bake the cupcakes from scratch and right in that store is to use real cherries instead off maraschino. Maraschino cherries cheapens it, but that's just me. I'd also incorporate real cherries into the cupcake itself to get that explosion of cherries! I still recommend this cake Overall, I really enjoyed these cupcakes immensely and will keep going back regardless of my recommendations. Please keep this place alive SA!! I would order a cake from them for a birthday! That's how good they are!

    Thé cupcakes were delicious! Exactly what I wanted. Give them a try! You can't go wrong.

    I've been here twice now, in the almost 2 years I've lived in the area, I was never compelled to try this place thinking I had already found my favorite. Smallcakes has since replaced that cupcake shop, with their consistency and quality. First time I got 6, and this trip 4. Their cakes are the week of. Objectively, they're priced on the higher end. That being said, I couldn't recommend a better cupcake shop because nothing has been disappointing. I can't speak to the issues with staff that other customers have mentioned. I guess some aren't too chatty, but this visit the young lady was quite helpful because I had inquired about when they would bring back certain cupcakes.

    It was delicious!!! Sorry, I smooshed the border.

    Adriana, the owner was so friendly and nice. She helped me with a strawberry cake the day before the party. She did white buttercream and black borders, since it was short notice for any custom decorations. I added the silver edible dust and the decoration. The cake was so moist that it was a bit difficult to serve. The flavor was delicious. The birthday girl that doesn't eat cake unless it's homemade strawberry cake loved it! Everyone else loved it as well! Thanks Adriana for a wonderful and flavorful cake! See you soon.

    The Bakery Lorraine at the Pearl is one of my places to spend a slow morning in San Antonio. Even…read morebefore you walk inside, the atmosphere is part of the experience. The Pearl's beautiful mix of historic architecture and modern design creates the perfect backdrop, and there's no better spot to grab a table, sip a coffee, and enjoy some of the best people-watching in the city. The food never disappoints. The Quiche Lorraine is consistently outstanding! Rich, creamy, perfectly seasoned, with a buttery, flaky crust that somehow manages to be both delicate and substantial. And then there are the macarons. Bakery Lorraine has one of the best selections around, with flavors that range from timeless classics to fun seasonal creations. Each one has that perfect crisp shell with a soft, chewy center, and every flavor tastes intentional rather than overly sweet.

    I have tried this place two times now and unfortunately have not been impressed with the service…read moreeither time. The first experience was during the morning, I visited just for a coffee and when I ordered I was rushed away so the cashier could attend to a regular behind me...not the best first impression. Today was my second, potentially final, time. I ordered a coffee from their window and when it was brought out to me the cashier slammed my coffee on the table, no greeting or even speaking to me and walked off. At first i didn't know he worked here. The coffee was fine though! Also-- NOT a big deal at all... But when ordering, I noticed that when I asked for a pupcup, the cashier ran it up for "free", then added an "extra" charge to my latte to pay for the pupcup (the cashier explained the charge as mentioned) no problem but something to note if you run into the same thing.
