The Scene – On the block between uber-chic Schiller's and 'Inoteca, this little bakery is a breath of unassuming fresh air. The furniture is old and mismatched, the walls are bare and the baker is the counter person, the espresso puller and also the person who'll ring up your order. – – The Food – The owners used to work at Magnolia Bakery, so naturally there's going to be talk about who makes the best cupcakes. These are pretty good: The vanilla cake is superior to the chocolate, and the chocolate icing is superior to the vanilla. But what's surprising is the pumpkin…

catch 22: bad customer service - great cupcakes
by yshemtov
Possibly the WORST customer service I have ever encountered in my 8 years in NYC. Obnoxious arrogant and down-right rude. And - possibly the BEST cupcakes I've ever had. If you're principled enough - go somewhere else. But the cupcakes really are special - some of the staff on the other hand...not so much.
- Pros: delicious cupcakes
- Cons: Awful Customer service

Terrific cupcakes and service
by njhonie
I am very suprised at the negaive reviews of this place, I live 2 blocks away so i pass by this place every day and stop in at least 3 times a week. I get nothing but cheerful and prompt service each and ever time i go there from every employee that helps me. I have tried the cookies, cupcakes, and muffins and they are all excellent. The frosting can be a tad sweet at times but i just take some off now. LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. just a side not to the people who complain about how the place has been past business hours and they wanted service and feel they were treated rudely....If you have ever worked in retail industry, places have buisness hours for a reason and if you show up too early or too late its your own fault..(see the review on the girl who wanted a birthday supcake after the store was closed)...yes customer service is important, but people do have lives they have to get too...take care
- Pros: Location/service/taste
- Cons: store size
