Best cupcakes EVER!!! I actually don't like cupcakes but these are SO good. I've ordered from then tens of times.My favorite is their Snickerdoodle cupcake, hands down, but all their flavors are good.They also used to have these mini cheesecakes that were DIVINE but they stopped selling them, unfortunately. Please bring them back!Only downsides are they are pricey and their rewards system (stamp card) is bad in that they only give you a stamp for every $10 you spend. So if you buy $9 worth, you don't get a stamp at all.

This is my 3rd time going. Other times I thought the cupcakes were good. However when the bf and I came today on the 4th of July and I got the Mayan Macaroon (a Cupcake Wars winner) and he got the snickerdoodle, both were cold. So the texture of the cake itself as well as that of the frosting made for an underwhelming cupcake. Hard to discern the true taste and texture. Disappointing.

I've been to Little Cakes Cupcake Kitchen several times and have not been disappointed. I usually go for special occasions and I bought some cupcakes to celebrate Father's Day. First of all, the shop is tiny but very inviting with lots of luscious cupcakes behind the glass counter. They have a sign posted of the cupcakes for the day. I didn't order any ahead of time but I knew I would find some that my family would enjoy. I ordered bacon pancake, lemon berry, red velvet, tamale de elote, and red velvet. They have gluten-free and vegan options which are also very tasty. I'm sorry I don't have any photos so you'll have to take my word for it.

Such a cute store and nice employees. They have vegan and gluten-free cupcakes, as well as regular ones. They have drinks too! Only a few seats inside and outside. Most likely, you will have to take it to go. No bathroom here.

We were visiting from NY and my name is Adrienne so when I was doing research for things to do and I stumbled across this - I HAD to go. I was not disappointed! I got the breakfast burrito and it was so good. My 11 and 7 year olds loved their pancakes and eggs respectively. You get a lot with entrees like a drink and a donut or cupcake. My husband got the chicken and waffles but did not like the chicken - he said he felt like he was eating a big nugget. The staff was nice and it was a filling lunch. I am glad we stopped by.

Great tasting apple fritters. Donuts were a little dry. Cupcakes are crazy expensive, and tastes ok. Upscale pricing for a mid-range quality cupcake.

I used to love the cupcakes here but I think a major part of a business is customer service and this establishment needs training on that.

So disappointed and sad these were a miss. I ordered 50 cupcakes for St Patrick's Day for company event. I chose to go with this place instead of Ralph's cupcakes because it was an important event. I was so disappointed, the cake part was dry and bland. The icing tasted like whipped butter. My arteries felt like they were clogging as I ate the cupcake. Only reason I ate it was bc my boss said i had to finish the expensive $4 premium (price for each) cupcake. I was told there was three flavors well let me tell you all I tasted was bland boring and overrated. I gave it couple stars because I did place the order the day before so it's for service not quality. I wish I would have read all the reviews and not based it on pictures.

My wife and I had a delicious lunch and dessert there for the first time, eating at their restaurant. She had a chicken salad croissant sandwich, potato soup, and a chocolate cupcake. I had a New Yorker Club sandwich, taco/Mexican soup, and chocolate cupcake. Everything was perfect, and the sandwiches were so large that we took half of them with us; the service was good, too, and the cook/Asst. Manager Chris came to our table and asked us if everything was good and if we needed anything. How nice! I have purchased cookies and brownies for carryout in the past, and they were always excellent too! So that is why we wanted to eat in their restaurant.

Little Cakes is one of my favorite places to buy a nice little treat for someone's birthday. All the flavors I've tried from them have been excellent and did not disappoint one bit. I love that you can customize a box for any type of occasion you may need. Today, I stopped by to get a couple of cupcakes for my FIL. I chose the lemon and chocolate toffee which I'm sure he will love. I'll update my review with his thoughts. I also purchased a Lemon Berry and a chocolate peanut butter for us to try. They also happened to be running a special buy 3 get 1 free. Great deal! Make your way over to this cute cupcake shop in downtown Vista. Definitely a gem!

Love this place! Is so cute and clean inside and your greeted right away by the Bakers and the delicious smell of all the goodness. There is such a large variety of cupcakes to choose from so if your unsure what to get you may want to get the mini cupcakes pack. So far my favorite is the Strawberry Champagne cupcakes and the Maple Bacon!! Who would have thought bacon on a cupcakes would compliment each other so well. Every time I come here they have new flavors so your tastebuds will always have the opportunity of savoring in new flavors..

We were looking for a place to make a cake for one of our events and we decided to try a few cupcakes first. When we went in they had Halloween themed cupcakes and the 'sally' was our favorite. There is a slight price increase for the specialty cupcakes but nothing crazy. My favorites are the banana mocha tella, vanilla and almond. Their vanilla and almond buttercreams and sooo rich and creamy. Their award winning almond champagne with Bavarian is also delicious! We ended up ordering two round cakes and one sheet cake. I was in touch with Alexa all month - she is so friendly and accommodating. She calls me on time and always responds to my emails and texts. I highly reccomend this place for any special event or just a nice treat. Their cake is moist and never dry.
