Great cupcakes & cakes! We have used Molly's for custom cakes for several years now, and they consistently make amazing and moist cakes every single time. The ordering process for the cakes is so easy, and we have never had a problem with any of our orders. And all the staff is always friendly!

We used to go here a lot. They have a cute interior with swings. The service is typically good. However, this trip was disappointing. Cupcakes were really dry and lacked flavor. The selection was good, and they looked pretty, but that seems to be more of the focus rather than taste. I don't think the price was worth it for what we got.

I’ve only ordered delivery but I cannot stop. I might actually be addicted. These are the best cupcakes I’ve ever had, hands down. They’re fun, unique, moist, and every single flavor knocks it out of the park.
Phenomenal. Hands down the best cupcakes I've ever had in my life. We moved here from San Diego and have been bummed at the dessert selection in Iowa City. Molly's has such unique and fun options, and every single one is absolutely delicious. Not a dry or boring option in the bunch.

Great cupcakes! Flavorful and beautiful presentations of their desserts. I purchased quite a few to deliver to the staff at the Iowa University Hospital (who cared for my brother), and they loved them. Great customer service! I was visiting from Houston, so if I'm ever back, I would definitely be returning to them for more great desserts.

Nice little cup cake spot. Parking though is horrible. Ended up in a parking garage 2 blocks away.

I ordered online for DoorDash pickup, but I had a great experience with Maddy over the phone before I ordered. She answered all my questions and was kind and helpful. Thanks for great service! The order was ready promptly and the recipients loved the delivery! We did not go into the store so atmosphere could not be rated.

I've never had an issue at Molly's Cupcakes. Their cheesecake is to DIE for! There are always a couple student workers so it is super easy to chat with them and overall makes my experience really nice. Everything is decently priced as well, for as delicious as it is!

Always amazing. Something for everyone. Friendly service. Downtown on street meter parking can be a pain.

i wanted to like these cupcakes and i tried them two times just to make sure it wasn't just an off day the first time. i don't know how they got 4.5 stars...must be hyped up. both times i tried it, the cupcakes were so dry, the icing tasted like whipped cream from a can, and the person who took my order was pretty standoffish both times i went. the vibes are off. try scratch
Amazing! Saw the cupcake wars sign on their door during Jazz Fest and had to give it a taste. The flavors were absolutely delectable and ambiance was on point! The swing set and couches were amazing hangout and photo places.We got creme brulee, peach cobbler, tiramisu, cookie monster, s'mores, sour gummy worm, and double chocolate flavors. The were the most creative, balance, cupcake and everything I needed. Not too sweet, decent frosting-cake ratio, and very much visually appealing. I'll definitely be craving this at midnight!

One of my favorite places in the area! Worth the drive from CR to get some cupcakes whenever there's a craving! Even more of a bonus that their gluten free cupcakes are really good - my favorite is their GF chocolate with vanilla icing.

Saw the cupcake wars finalist sign on the door and had to give it a try, and I was not disappointed! Ordered a chocolate cupcake the first time-- it was perfectly moist and not too sweet. Came back for the crime brûlée cupcake, and it was also moist with a delicious filling. Employees are always so friendly, the vibes are perfect. Reasonable prices as well. Definitely will be going back again soon!
