The cupcakes are what they are. They taste good enough, but they're a bit much and a poor value at $2.25+. But the service was really awful! I was there yesterday afternoon, and the staff was pretty rude. Examples: * Before we even reached the register with our one cupcake and one red velvet, a tall man yelled at us, "FIVE BUCKS." No "hi", no "welcome", no "please". Wow. * We were standing at the cocktail tables at the front, and the adjacent window was open about 8 inches. (Mind you, outside it was 39-degrees and windy.) As I tried to close the window a little, a woman behind the register yelled over to me, "Excuse me! Oh are you cold? Because we're REALLY warm back here." And another employee added, "YEAH." Does the customer's comfort matter at all? Then the employees starting joking around about how one of the men was going through menopause. I don't know if they thought they were being cool or funny or hip. But I would much rather be treated like a customer than an unwelcome neighbor.
Pros: Good location, decent seating area
Cons: Rude servers, expensive cupcakes
