Such a sweet little shop. Hours are limited so check ahead before you go. I love the ever changing menu and very reasonable prices. All the cakes I got were moist and flavourful. All the cupcakes had fillings and the frostings and toppings complemented the flavors so well. Overall, delicious and looking forward to next time I'm in the area and can grab a few more new flavors. read more

Great cupcakes, great service! I try to go by when I'm in Grand Rapids. I haven't ordered ahead, but recommend if there is something you really must have! They can sell out quickly. read more

Exceptional customer service! I texted my order early on this beautiful Saturday morning, knowing how quickly they sell out. As soon as I stepped into this charming little shop, I was welcomed with a warm smile that instantly brightened my day. My order was perfectly prepared and waiting for me, which was such a delightful surprise. And the taste of these exquisite treats? Absolutely heavenly! Each bite was a symphony of flavors--truly out of this world and irresistibly delicious! Wow, wow, wow! read more

While the cake part of the cupcake is ok, there is not much of it for the price paid. The very thick frosting is not made with real butter but some kind of shortening and tits really bad tasting in the three flavors I had. The frosting tastes like it comes out a big industrial tub. Go elsewhere for good baked goods! Nantucket bakery and even Real Food cafe have much better baked goods. read more

Absolutely love the salted cupcake. I live in Kalamazoo so I don't get them as often as I want but I will make a special trip to Grand Rapids just for these cupcakes! My all time favorite is the salted cupcake flavor. I love the rotating menu. Every single cupcake I've ever had from Here has been amazing. read more

The Salted Cupcake has become a tradition for us in terms of birthday cupcakes and I thought I knew all of their options. I recently picked up a dozen for my Dad's birthday and was amazed to see even more exciting flavors - including the PUPCAKE! Needless to say, our golden retriever puppy was also very pleased to check it out as she inhaled it in three bites. The staff here are always super patient and friendly, even when the line is out the door, and while the building is super small, they make you feel extra special. read more

No one can beat the flavor variety here! We tried the banana pudding, death by chocolate, beer butter and tres leches. All the bad reviews unfortunately carry some truth. Death by Chocolate - the buttercream is heavy, it taste pure sugar and not good quality fluffy butter and u wish it actually had some flavor. The cupcake batter is dry. I wish it would be more crumbly. Banana Pudding - really good, the torched merengue cover was done really well! The cupcake itself could've been a bit more moist but for this topping it was a big problem. Tres Leches - the whipped topping was nice and delicate, but the batter was so dry and for the authentic tres leches, it lacked the tres leches soak mainly the coconut milk flavor. Butter Beer - tasted great, the frosting was good but again just wish that was lighter. Service was great and ordering very easy. Cupcakes were priced right, and despite of some of the misses on the batter and buttercream frosting, I would round this review to a 4-star since it was the most convenient way to order and the creativity and beauty of these cupcakes. read more

If you haven't tried The Salted Cupcake before, they have a new weekly menu starting on Tuesday and runs until Sunday. Five unique creations each week along with a set of recurring favorites (including Pupcakes!). They get reallyyyyy creative with some of these cupcakes. I've had them twice before and loved them so much. They're very light, delicate cakes that don't sit heavy in your stomach. Let me know which one sounds the best to you. Death by chocolate - The naming on this one is pretty on point. If you're a chocolate lover, get this ASAP. It's the perfect balance of richness, sweetness, and cocoa flavor. It reminds me of the classic Hershey's chocolate cake recipe if you're familiar with that. Chocolate frosting was delicious and had a very mild cocoa flavor. Ganache filling was heaven. And the flourless brownie on top was much better than a cherry. It was dense but crumbly and delicate at the same time, 8/10. White chocolate raspberry - I'm a massive raspberry fan soooo... this one was my favorite. The raspberry buttercream is to die for. It's not very heavy on the raspberry flavoring which works really well with the light vanilla bean cake. The raspberry filling was thick and sweet which added a great contrast to the cake and buttercream. The white chocolate snowflake garnish was a beautiful touch. It's really simple but absolutely delicious. Definitely more sweet and less rich than the other two cupcakes, 9/10. Salted cupcake - The chocolate cake was moist, light, and fluffy, same as the Death By Chocolate. The caramel sauce on top was absolutely delicious (surprise surprise it tasted like caramel). The peanut butter buttercream frosting was a bit strange to me. The texture was perfect - melt in your mouth and had a good airy/light texture. It tasted like peanut butter for sure. But it had this strange artificial kind of taste to it. Funny enough it reminds me of this chocolate peanut butter protein powder I just got, that's the kind of weird taste I'm talking about. Still great though, 7/10. read more

I'd tried this cute little mom and pop cupcake shop a few years ago when we needed some gluten free cupcakes for my moms birthday and they were the only ones at the time I could fine to oblige. Even years later I must say if you have a sweet tooth than this secret little delight is well worth it. My work brought them in for a retirement party and I got to enjoy a strawberry shortcake cupcake (with actual strawberry milk plunger). read more

Truly amazing cupcakes. Flavor, aesthetics, and variety can't be beat anywhere in Grand Rapids. An absolute gem.

Great cupcakes. I've tried many & never had one I didn't like. There are some favorites though. They have weekly specials listed on their website. Plus some regulars you can get always. Very friendly workers. You can call ahead and order your favorite ones& they'll pack it up for you in cute recyclable cardboard boxes. read more

The Salted Cupcake is the cutest little bakery off of 32nd street in Grand Rapids. I have been following them on Instagram for a while, and finally had an excuse to get some (Easter dinner dessert!). They are constantly changing their menu but still have a couple classics they keep on the menu at all times. I highly recommend following them on social media to see their new flavors every week! I was able to preorder 8 different kinds of cupcakes on Facebook Messenger and they had my box all prepared prior to my arrival. I would recommend preordering because when they sell out they are done with that flavor for the day. I need to be honest.... I tried almost 4 of them because I couldn't resist (bites here and there...) but I LOVED every single flavor! I wasn't able to try the cookie dough one, but I will be going back to get it because my brother-in-law said it was delicious! I really enjoyed the red velvet and death by chocolate as well! They did a great job of making them festive and fun! read more

One of my favorite cupcake places in all of Grand Rapids! Not only do they offer a plethora of unique flavors... their cupcake designs are also so adorable! I wanted to find some festive cupcakes for this past Halloween, and The Salted Cupcake did not disappoint! I got a candy corn cupcake, a graveyard cupcake, and a bat cupcake. And of course... I had to grab some doggy friendly cupcakes for my 3 pups! They loved them! Hehe! If you're looking for fun cupcakes for any occasion, or for the holiday season... I would head here! read more

The Salted Cupcake has no equal. They have an extensive rotating selection of flavors and it helps to follow them on Facebook where they make a weekly announcement of which cakes will be featured on which days. You can preorder with them, which I highly recommend if you are looking for either a large quantity OR specific flavors. Another tip- come right when they open on/around holidays and special events for first crack at the limited edition flavors. Do you like genuine buttercream frosting? Well, that's their specialty! Do you also like over the top miniatures?! Many of the cupcakes feature a small version of the flavor inspiration right on top- like a small churro, or a cookie, or a macaron, or a tiny freakin' stack of pancakes!! I'll gladly pay the premium for highly-themed, visually beautiful, unique, scrumptious cupcakes. read more

The peanut butter frosting was very tasty, but the actual cupcake left me underwhelmed. I am afraid that I was not impressed and probably will not be going back. read more

The Salted Cupcake has some of the most delectable cupcakes I've ever eaten. Are they a little over the top and sweet? Yes, but isn't that the point of these crazy giant cupcake creations? I only buy them for special occasions as I live on the other side of town, but they make for an extra special treat when I make the trip! My favorites are the samoa and the blueberry turnover (the almond cake on the latter really compliments the blueberry filling). read more

Today is my mom's birthday, and we're headed to them for a small celebration. Yesterday, I was trying to figure out what kind of special dessert to bring for our small celebration. Then, The Salted Cupcake came across my Facebook feed highlighting an extensive menu perfect for all of our different taste bud preferences, and a wheat free option for my own digestive pyrotechnics. I was able to instant message with our order and it was ready for me all boxed up by the time I got there. I was pleasantly surprised at the variety of wheat free cupcakes. Many places that I go to there is one option for gluten-free / wheat-free. And it's usually a very plain flavor. This weak, there are two different options one including the RumChata carrot cheesecake offering! Currently August 2020, this establishment is requiring masks inside, and since it's a very small operation only three people are allowed in the building at any time. Be prepared to wait in the parking lot if they are busy. I would recommend calling your order in earlier to minimize the time you're in the building, and to make sure that you get the flavors you prefer. There were a few flavors already sold out by the time I walked in at 4:30 on a Wednesday. I understand that these are gourmet cupcakes. I spent over $24 for seven cupcakes. That is a little higher than my basic discretionary budget. But, for special occasions it's a nice option! I will definitely be back for our next special occasion. read more

These cupcakes are amazing. They're delicious and moist, with fluffy buttercream. I had the cookie dough, which is a vanilla cupcake with chocolate chips, caramel buttercream and a mini chocolate chip cookie on top. The cookie was also baked perfectly. Chewy and amazing! They had about 8 or 9 flavors including the signature Salted Caramel Cupcake, Fruity Pebbles, Bacon Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter Brownie, and Red Velvet. They also have wheat-free cupcakes, but I don't think they are made in a dedicated wheat-free area. Their hours are Tuesday through Friday 10:00 am - 6:00 pm, Saturday & Sunday 10:00 am - 3:00 pm, and closed Mondays. They are in the building where the Coco Charlotte bakery used to be. Pricing is based on quantity bought: 1-5 cupcakes $3.50 each 6-11 cupcakes $3.40 each 12-23 cupcakes $3.25 each 24-99 cupcakes $3.20 each 100-199 cupcakes $3.10 each 200-299 cupcakes $2.95 each 300+ cupcakes $2.85 each Just FYI, there's no seating to eat your cupcakes in the shop. read more

Xuan: Death by cupcake 2018. Just kidding - it'd probably happen in 2076 by donut and ice cream :) Ok Salted Cupcake, you have me in a dilemma: your cupcakes are delicious but your prices kill me! I stopped by this tiny storefront to pick up a dozen cupcakes for my mama's birthday not bothering to ask about pricing because it's for my mama duh. She priceless :). The two workers were sitting at a picnic table next to the counter folding cupcake boxes and one stood up to serve me pointing out all their available flavors posted on the wall. There was plenty to choose from and I got 2 each of: -pancake -salted cupcake -red velvet -cookie dough -chai tea -pina colada So, I've had these cupcakes before, but haven't tried the chai flavor yet, so I'll focus on that flavor only since my mom only let me have 1! The chai flavor cupcake was delicious! It was moist and dense. I could feel all the love and thought packed into that heavy (like a quarter pound) little nugget. As of this posting, 32nd street is down to 2 lanes by the intersection with Breton and you can't make any lefts so plan accordingly! read more

If you have a sweet tooth like me, then you'll love a fresh cupcake from The Salted Cupcake. While they have their usual Cupckes, we opted for a couple themed after Girl Scout cookies. The Peanut Butter Cookie Cupcake was very fresh and moist. It was definitely full flavored peanutbutter! I wished it had some chocolate with it. Next came the Tagalong. Thankfully, it was chocolate and peanutbutter and it hit the spot. The business is small and in a neighborhood, but it's cute inside. The cupcakes seemed a bit pricey, but they were good! read more

We got the harry potter themed cupcakes and for nearly $5 a cupcake, disappointment would not even fully express the feelings we had about these cupcakes. All of the cupcake bases were extremely chewy, airy, and felt like biting down on a spring mattress. ravenclaw buttercream frosting has to be a joke, it was flavourless, the cake was decent out of the four we got but the 'cream cheese' top tasted like licking a stick of butter dipped in oil. sorting hats topping was thick, flavourless, the cake was disappointing and airy, not good. on top of that, the yellow poot of colored frosting inside just didn't live up to the expectations, especially with hufflepuff being inside but i digress. butterbeer was by far the best flavor but didn't have any of the cream soda flavor, just straight butter scotch. ultimately, i would rate 1 gordon ramsay out of five, not sure if this was a bad day as the reviews are pretty good normally but with this experience, i won't be going back. read more

I love this place and their variety of cupcakes! They have a standard 5 cupcakes all the time(I believe it's 5) and each day of the week post a menu for each day another 5 cupcakes available that day, it varies day to day week to week! They even have pupcakes! If you are not a fan of frosting this place is not for you, as they do have thick heavy frosting on their cupcakes and there is a good amount of it too. But I love their variety! And I love getting these as small little gifts for people, like my boss, or sister after she does a play performance, everyone loves them! read more

We were not certain how good a cupcake could be so we just tried three of the cupcakes- brown butter, death by chocolate and salted caramel. We took them home -we live an hour away- and shared that night. We immediately regretted our decision to only get three and to share what we had! oh my goodness!! They are sssoooo good! We each wanted to eat them all ourselves. The brown butter was our favorite -the cake has a very firm almost chewy crumb-it does not crumble when you remove the paper. The buttercream was luscious. Death by chocolate was over the flipping top!! Serious chocolate lovers only. Chocolate cake , chocolate mousse, chocolate ganache, chocolate every thing! An ice cold glass of milk is the perfect accompaniment. The salted caramel cupcake was our least favorite and this is on us. We are not a fan of salted sweets BUT the elements separately were amazing. Their caramel was delicious. Rich, buttery and a perfect consistency. I imagine fir the true salted caramel fans this is a cupcake from heaven. Can't wait for a reason to go back! read more

Pricey, but delectable, cupcake goodness! I recommend coming as early in the day as possible- because they do sell out!
