However, the place has very poor upper management; they are catty, uncoordinated, condescending, and perfectly willing to take advantage of their hardworking employees. This alone has persuaded me and several acquaintances never to eat there again. The way I see it, the cupcakes are good, but they're just as good plenty of other places, too.

My favorite is the bitter-sweet Choc. cupcake. My only gripe is the packaging. While pretty, the cupcakes tend to jump around. Then when you try to get them out, you destroy the cupcake in the process. This place is now open and great. My favorite is the bitter-sweet Choc. cupcake. My only gripe is the packaging.

I work a block away and have made many trips with coworkers for an afternoon treat. The owners are super friendly. It's a small shop, but they have a big selection of flavors that change daily. Try the Butterfinger flavor, it's the best! Violet’s is great! I work a block away and have made many trips with coworkers for an afternoon treat. The owners are super friendly.

I wasn't terribly impressed by them and didn't think they were worth $3 apiece. They were lightweight (I guess for $3 I wanted a dense cupcake) and the cake part was dry. The icing was superb, however--light, fluffy, and not too sweet. The cupcake boxes have nifty cupcake holders to keep your cupcakes from sliding into each other on the drive home.
