Walked here from my hotel for GF cupcake. Very welcoming shop. Cameras on. No human working. Honor system. Each cupcake $5. Cash or Veenmo. Purchased GF as well as not GF. Tasty! Highly recommend!

The cupcake were good. I got the Key Lime pie and my friend got the Caramel Macchiato. They were both good but nothing special that I would come back for. The cakes were moist and flavorful but I was hoping for some adventurous flavors and I just didn't get it here. The most adventurous flavor was a berry lavender and I've had something very similar before so I didn't order it. Maybe I should have ??♀️. But like I said, I have nothing negative to say about the cupcakes.

Absolutely THE best cupcakes I’ve ever had! I’m HOOKED!! My favorite is the Black Velvet. It’s absolutely delicious and they’re so beautifully made!! I can’t wait to go back!!!

Well we use TripAdvisor wherever we go to find new culinary adventures and heading to Wilmington we did just that and found peppered cupcakes ranked number 1 so we stopped. Tried a simple vanilla chocolate cupcake and that’s what it was simple. No wow factor just as basic as you can be, such a disappointment but maybe we picked the wrong cake. Few miles down the road in Morehead City is Happycakes now this place brings the WOW factor and then some. Next time in Wilmington we will be looking elsewhere for a good dessert.

These are cupcakes like NO others! There are standard flavors that are available every day, and specialities of the day. I wanted to visit on a Friday, because that is Chocolate Turtle with Nuts day! Just cashed in my birthday free cupcake coupon; only good at Racine walk-in location. Downtown is a vending machine.

The best cupcakes I have ever had and it is not even close. These cupcakes are on another level. The banana pudding cupcake which is only available on Saturdays is mind blowing ridiculous. It is better than regular banana pudding and one of the best desserts I have ever had. All of the flavors are great but my favorite are the flavors that come with warm compotes or fresh pepper jellies. The butter cream that the chef uses is so good?. The chef is obviously extremely talented and has a very unique ability to develop divine flavors.This is a must try no matter where you live.

Was so excited I love sweets , however these cupcakes are a complete waste of money and calories. Dry, barely sweet whip cream frosting yuk ! 5 bucks a cupcake a grocery store has better! If you have any kind of palate go elsewhere!

A great idea, fresh baked gourmet cupcakes available through a vending machine. Many varieties with butter crème icings. This frosting is found through the middle of the cupcake. I chose Chocolate Revelation and is was just the right amount of chocolate. My husband decided on Tuxedo which was chocolate with vanilla icing. There in a microwave to warm the cupcake up if desired. Can’t wait to take the grandchildren here!

The best cupcakes I've had, period. The Caramel Macchiato is a must-try. I always make a special stop by this cupcake shop when I'm in Wilmington.
I would come here again my family and I ever came back to North Carolina. The have very nice cupcakes.?

I am shocked to see anything below a 5 star review here. I've been buying cupcakes from here for years and every time has been perfection. I am not a fan of the overly sweet, overly decorated cupcakes you tend to find in the more Instagrammable bakeries - if you like that then this place isn't for you. The cupcakes here are packed with flavor and always seem fresh. Dare I say they may be the best cupcakes I've ever had?! Long story short - I highly recommend.

Decided on my vacation to take a walk and find this gem. GPS took me there. But unfortunately, the vending machine didn't take my much-used credit card. Fortunately, Tabitha, the owner, was there and she politely came out to assist. Ten minutes later, I walked out happy as a lark. It was only a few minutes back to the condo and I popped the berry cupcake in the microwave for 10 secs and had it gone in less than 5 minutes. Very worth the price and effort to buy it. Quite tasty!

We love the peppered cupcake! She takes the extra time to add the toppings after you purchase. She then gives you instructions before eating for the best possible experience. I had the key lime and it was awesome!

I was surprised walking into a seemingly legitimate storefront to find that this location is only a vending machine within the storefront, not the actual bakery. There are no actual employees. If you want the real deal, you need to go to the other location :)
