    The Mostess cupcake!
    Bill S.

    While driving west my buddy tells me: Bill, you're a "foodie" and I want you to try this cupcake place. I think they're awesome. Do you know what's awesome? Puppies. I am not a foodie. If you had to break it down, aren't we all foodies? We need food to sustain our lives. However. If you tell me: O.M.G. The Jalapeno poppers at T.G.I Fridays changed my life!? I question your judgement and think you should not procreate. I pull into a strip mall. Walking into Sublime Cupcakes, its a small shop. It's pretty much see what you like, box it up and get out. No loitering! I chose a single cupcake, the Mostess. It was a take on a Hostess Cupcake. I do have to say I was very impressed with the packaging and presentation. The cake was fresh and moist but the filling is what gave it that chocolate / vanilla contrast, it makes you want to eat more. Its the same nostalgic cupcake we all ate as kids except this is not a mass produced product filled with junky chemicals. This is a chef'd up cupcake and commands the price. If you want a cheaper cupcake then go to the local supermarket and buy them on the shelf. I had a single cupcake but man on man it was a tasty treat. You could say (pinky to lip) sublime?? If you want to impress company or want to feed your inner child with a nostalgic cupcake, Sublime Cupcakes has what you're craving.

    I've been wanting to try Sublime for quite a while. A few years back, when we were in the area, we got a copy of a Berks County magazine. On the cover were photos of various cupcakes in the area. The article about them mentioned Sublime but we weren't that familiar with the area at that point so we didn't know exactly where it was. When we figured it out, we didn't have the time to go there during later visits to the area. This past trip to the area, we discovered that Sublime was less than a mile away from the hotel where we were staying. I got directions and told my husband we were going. It's a small shop with only a few places to sit. We got 8 cupcakes and had the friendly young woman working there to put them in 2 boxes. We kept one for ourselves and the other was for our grandsons and son-in-law. Our grandsons and son-in-law tore into the ones we got them. We got a chocolate peanut butter for son-in-law. The peanut butter flavor was very prominent to the point when we opened the box, you could smell it right away. We got an assortment for the grandsons and they loved them all! I tried a vanilla one and a vanilla salted caramel one. My husband tried some seasonal ones---a pumpkin flavored one (can't remember the exact name) and a pecan pie one. While I liked the vanilla salted caramel one, I could barely taste any salt. It's a pet peeve of mine when salt is promised along with the caramel and it isn't there. I wish that they had amped it up enough to taste it. The vanilla was pleasant but, again, I wished that the vanilla flavoring was more prominent. My husband enjoyed both the cupcakes he tried. On our way back to VA, I told my husband that we were stopping in again in order to take some back with us. This time I got a red velvet one and an apple pie one. He got two pumpkin harvest ones. I liked the red velvet one and thought it was very well done. The apple pie one had pieces of apple in it, as well as some crushed peanuts on top. This, too, was very well done. My husband enjoyed the pumpkin harvest ones --- enough so that he said he would gladly go back to Sublime next time we were in the area. One thing that had me disappointed --- on their website, they talk about a cupcake called "mudslide" that has kahlua in it. I so wanted to try that but alas---it wasn't on the menu when we were there. We both agree with other Yelpers that the cupcakes are on the dry and somewhat dense side. However, we didn't think that it detracted from the flavorings at all. The frosting portion was just enough to compensate for the dryness. In the area, my favorite place is in West Reading---Ady Cakes. Ady is a "Cupcakes War" winner. However, her shop hours are limited. I appreciate that Sublime is open more hours per day. Next time we stay close by to Sublime, we'll be back!

    Love this place. Really great cupcakes with unique flavors rotating regularly. Easy to stop in and grab just 1 or 2, or a dozen. Nice boxes & cool interior of the store. My family has gotten a dozen cupcakes in place of a birthday cake a couple times. Recommend! Minus 1 star because they are a little pricey, and their cupcakes with chocolate cake are usually dry.

    I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. I work next door and frequently come here to get my sweets fix. Managed to go today and was pleasantly surprised to find they had new cupcake flavors! Yes!!! Very happy with my selections. Had the strawberry short cake which the icing was perfectly flavored but the cake lacked that punch I wanted to bring me home. The bakers special Banana cream was my favorite! Very flavorful and exactly what you want if you like banana pudding! Very delicious! Margarita was a good cupcake but aside from the rock sugar, there was nothing special. The dirt was fun, icing light, and cupcake flavorful. I was skeptical but I would have it again. The banana was reminiscent of banana bread without the dense nature of banana bread. I would eat this again and before I ate banana bread. Great translation to cupcake. The final cupcake I had today was a piña colada. Very pretty presentation and perfect amount of coconut shaving. The icing has a hint of piña colada but like the strawberry, I just wanted a tad more in the cake. Overall, well done! Best cupcake place in the area (that I have found)! Go eat lunch at cloud nine Café, have dessert at Sublime, then shoot over to the Marine Corps Office and join! Lol. Great little shopping center.

    I really wanted to give a fourth star but after waiting a day to eat another out of the box I just couldn't. My daughter and I hit the cupcake jackpot by stumbling on this joint after lunch near by on Black Friday. We walked in to a jam packed store and I asked if we could get just two and was told it Black Friday $1 cupcakes. Awesome! We got a box of 12 and the presentation is NYC quality. I will say I agree with other reviews that the cake is dryer than it should be and there is too much icing (although it is tasty). For a $1 these are amazing but for $2.50 you want to pick a sure fire winner like the pecan pie or peanut butter. Great little shop with NYC style and great customer service.

    I thought the cupcakes tasted ok, but nothing special. Especially for what they charge, the cupcake seemed small tp me.

    Stopped by just before closing to satisfy a after dinner dessert craving!…read more The cupcakes were absolutely adorable and tasted just as good as they looked. Unfortunately, their most popular flavor had already sold out, but we ended up trying a few of the vegan options along with the Minion-themed cupcake. The designs were super fun, and the flavors didn't disappoint Since it was right before closing, the service was pretty much what I expected. The staff was still friendly, and we tried to be mindful not to keep them too long The cupcakes are a little on the pricey side for their size, but they're well-made, delicious, and beautifully decorated. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the mood for a sweet treat!

(Not sure who the delivery service was. Flavor replaced the order without *too much* of an issue.) In November, I stopped in to get something for a friend's birthday, and bought a 4-pack for them. Staff were super friendly & answered my questions easily. Feed back on the cupcakes was thumbs up all around. There were about a dozen flavor options (I think), & they all sounded good. Ended up selecting the Snickerdoodle, Cookies n Cream, & 2 of the chocolate-peanut butter because the recipient is a big fan of pb cups.

When I went in frustrated to talk about this, an employee named Brooke smugly looked at me and rolled her eyes while I expressed frustration at not being able to get a hold of them. She shook her head and had a huge attitude with me as I explained that I just wanted an update on my cheesecake. The customer service was horrible if they can't even update regular customers on a simple cheesecake I can't imagine how nerve-racking it would be to hire these people to do a catered event like a wedding or a birthday. The front employee Brooke was smug, snide, and extremely disrespectful enough that I will never go back again after that being my very first experience there.

From first glance it looked like just another local shop but it kept peaking my interest. After weeks of seeing good reviews, I finally decided to try it. She was having a sale because of national pineapple upside down cake day. I initially got 3 cake slices because it was either $4/each or 3 for $10. She was very quick to respond to all of my messages and the curbside pick up was seamless. On the way home I decided to try a piece a cake because it looked so good and after one bite I called her right back and asked if I could have 3 more slices! The cake is so moist it has like a little gooey-ness to it so it kind of melts in your mouth. Not too sweet and just overall delicious. Be sure that you really look for the bakery because it is small and kind of hidden off the road. I drove past twice before I saw it. All the dessert options sound and look delicious. I believe they have new items every week based on what customers like or request. Also, preordering is required. Not sure if it's just because of COVID or if that's a regular deal. I plan to go back soon ... by soon I mean in 2 days lol. I also think her hours are Wednesday through Saturday. You will not be disappointed!!!!

My year-round ride-or-die is the Strawberry Champagne... dreamy, sweet, a little bougie, and absolutely addictive. But the current seasonal obsession (pictured) is the Cranberry Orange and I am not kidding... it is obsession-level good. I'm already plotting to buy a dozen to freeze so Future Me can still thrive when the seasonal menu changes. The whole atmosphere? Gorgeous. Classy. Bright.

This one is Cranberry Orange with vanilla soft serve and chocolate shavings, and I need it framed on my wall. Friendly staff, stunning space, ridiculous desserts... Yeah. You'll probably catch me in here at least once a week. Don't judge me -- judge the cupcakes for being irresistible.
