    Signature cup cake! It was delicious!
    Miranda C.

    You HAVE to visit the pink box! This bakery is tucked away in the back of the Harbour view marketplace (close to the theater and cold stone).. When you walk in, it's bright, clean and very well organized. This delicious little sweet haven is proudly a black, woman owned business! Ms. Gwen & her employees are absolutely the nicest most customer oriented around. I came in for a Yelp event & after getting a taste, I was eager to have MORE so I came back to purchase more. Her cupcakes are so moist & fresh! There is no artificial taste, only natural blissful flavors. The strawberry cupcake had a creamy yummy jam type consistency hidden in the middle, that just made the flavor profile EXPLODE. The caramel cupcake was the perfect balance of sweet and savory! I love when you have a sweet topping & the cake isn't overly worked with sugar! NAILED IT. Their signature pink iced cupcake also did not disappoint. I consider myself a cake type dessert lover but honestly Gwen has switched me over to puddings! Her banana pudding was a taste of PURE HEAVEN. It had the right amount of creamy, crunch and did not feel heavy like banana pudding can tend to be! I'm actually planning another trip back this week to purchase a couple. Last but certainly not least, the homemade pink lemonade was so refreshing & really hit the spot after a variety of sweets. Suffolk is a little far from my house in Hampton but after speaking with Gwen, she says they spotlight at the farmers market in Yorktown so both sides of the water can truly indulge! DO NOT MISS OUT on The Pink Box- these ladies are incredible & such good people. Support local & tell them I sent you! Thank you so much Pink Box.

    Salted caramel, chocolate, red velvet, lemon (delivered through 3rd party which is why the toppings are messed up, no fault of the bakery)

    My fiancé had these delivered to our apartment after finding the bakery on Yelp so I can only comment on the cupcakes themselves. Unfortunately, the delivery service was poor so the cupcakes were flipped over by the time we opened the box, no fault of the bakery though. The cupcakes were tasty! I really enjoyed the moist cake and the flavors of each cupcake (chocolate, caramel, red velvet, lemon). My favorite was probably the salted caramel because it was a subtle taste. I personally wasn't a huge fan of the icing because it was too sugary/sweet for my taste. I look forward to going to the bakery and trying out the cupcakes there!

    Vanilla Bean, Key Lime, Cookies n Creme.  Simply the best!

    These cupcakes are well presented in the shop with a no worries electronic check out if you so choose. I bought four but they didn't all make it to the shoot, "One simply must have dessert after a meal." The cupcakes were well balanced in flavor, with the icing complimenting the cakes. The cakes were soft and moist even the one I had with filling was well balanced. Hands down the best cupcakes I've ever eaten.

    Very dry, like it's either older or overbaked.

    Went in expecting a moist delicious Cupcake, with the tart lavor of lemon curd inside, sadly I was disappointed. My first visit and my last, decided to try 1 lemon cupcake, and was told there was lemon curd inside. Initial disappointment came when I opened the box, the cupcake was not the same sizes as the ones in the display case, as the cake portion was much smaller & hidden under alot of frosting. The display case had cupcakes with the cake above the level of cupcake paper, peeking out feom under a smaller amount of frosting all the way around. Mine did not, exactly opposite with cake well below the level of paper and a load of frosting in attempt to try and make the cupcake look bigger than it was. Taste was decent, a little tart like lemon curd may have been used in the batter, BUT there was no lemon curd inside or on top of this cupcake-as you can see in photos. Texture was VERY DRY, literally tasted like a cupcake that was either older or overbaked. Definitely NOT worth $3.50 plus tax for this cupcake, making it $3.94! I can and have made much better cupcakes at home, and was expecting so much more from a cupcake shop that specializes in them. ​

    If you're looking for a cupcake with great frosting look no further, The Pink Box is good and the customer service was awesome! The reason I give them 4 stars is because when we got our cupcakes the frosting tasted like it had been sitting out a while. I ordered. Cookies n' Cream, Strawberry Lemonade, Salted Caramel, Strawberry, Fruity Pebbles, and Red Velvet cupcakes. My favorite was the Salted Caramel and Strawberry Lemonade one. However, in terms of freshness, I wouldn't say they're the best but the girl working there was awesome! I signed up for a rewards account with them and it said the 10% was applied but the thing didn't apply at checkout so after leaving, she called and informed me that the discount was not applied and said that next time she would give us a free cupcake. I would return if in the area again!

    Cinnamon roll cupcake
    Charmaine B.

    So I kinda have mixed feelings about this place... I ordered curbside pickup, and I tried the cinnamon roll cupcake. I was a little disappointed with the size of the cupcake. It was a bit on the smaller side compared to most cupcake places I've been to, and costs just as much and a little higher. I was also a little disappointed with how the cupcake was decorated. It was just plain icing, no special touches or decorations. I have seen some better decorated ones online, so I wonder if I just got unlucky with this one. Idk but it looked as if I could have made at home, which sucked. But besides that the flavors were very good. The icing had a good amount of sweetness; not overpowering. And it did taste like a cinnamon roll. And the associate that served me was polite. The only other sad part about the experience was the cupcake definitely didn't taste fresh. It tasted like it was made maybe a day or two before. So Im still fighting with myself, I'm not sure if I'll come back.

    Banana Pudding in a cup
    Conchata H.

    When I say delicious...I mean delicious! The creamy texture of the pudding coupled with thick chunks of vanilla wafers and bananas had my taste buds doing cartwheels. I had a short trip to VA and had to get my cuz to go get me one. I take my hats off to the owner Gwen! I will definitely be back to try the cupcakes!

    The banana pudding is the best I've had. Better than magnolia bakery in NYC. My daughter likes the cupcakes.

The food is consistently good, and I love that they have such a great variety of options. I'm also a huge fan of their snack and wine selection. It makes it easy to grab something extra while you're there. And the self-checkout is honestly one of my favorite things! It makes the whole pickup process quick and convenient. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating if you want to stay and eat, and I really like the overall ambiance. It has a relaxed, casual feel that makes it a great spot whether you're grabbing food to go or hanging out for a while. Definitely a go-to spot for us when we want something easy and healthy!

I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon after church and ordered the chicken salad sandwich (Freemason). Fresh, flavorful, and exactly what I was craving. When the weather's nice, I always try to grab a seat on the patio. It's such a relaxing spot to enjoy a good meal and soak up a little sunshine. Also, I have to shout out their potato salad is one of the best around. Creamy, just the right amount of seasoning, and always hits the spot. TASTE is the kind of place that makes you proud to support a growing local chain. Great food, great atmosphere, and always a solid experience.

    This place satisfies all your sweet cravings. The amount of cakes, bars, cookies, pies, and savory…read morebreads that are offered here will bring joy to your taste buds, and belly!! In moderation of course ;) It is literally a cornucopia of thanksgiving desserts. The hubs and I are not in Smithfield often, as it's close to an hour drive from where we are. We found this place when visiting an annual fall vintage antique market where they had a booth. Yes..... I had to control my eyes and stomach. Eating with your eyes is a thing! My better half decided on the lemon blueberry loaf, and I on the hummingbird slice of cake. It's a banana pecan cake with cream cheese frosting. Soo the result was...... it was both slightly dry not as moist. The blueberries in the lemon loaf all sank to the bottom. As for the loaf it was mid soft to hard to swallow. The lemon frosting on top was very good. The hummingbird slice had a nice amount of pecans with the taste of banana, but I also experienced the cake to be dry, even with the recommendation of eating it at room temperature. It was refrigerated, so cold air tends to draw out moisture and dehydrate the cake. They have display cakes, so you do have to ask them for slices, which they will retrieve from the fridge. Overall, it was still good and we would be back to try their cookies and bars! I believe they have some savory focaccia!!!!

    First time stopping in and won't be my last!…read more Very friendly service and a great set-up. The cake slices and a few other foodies you can grab and go which is nice. Then you can take it up the counter to be cashed out. There is no place to eat inside. Now food wise they have so many amazing items! From sweets like cakes, cookies, cupcakes, pastries and so much more to savory items like bread and spreads and even more. My husband and I grabbed a slice of the hummingbird cake and it was such a treat! Great flavor! Can't wait to try more of their items because I am side if it is like the cake they will be good!
