Same day update: adding an additional star - the owner, Rachel, did call almost within moments of leaving this review, leaving a very kind sounding voice-mail about wanting more details / etc! I think that's really great of the business wanting personal feedback. They also sent me a full refund (which they most definitely did not have to do!!!! I was not expecting that / needing or wanting it, so im surprised they did!) So I will add that at least they are trying to take information from this review going forward! Tasting box - weddingMy fiancé and I purchased a tasting box from Coccadotts recently, and to us, it was pretty sub-par to other tasting boxes we've gotten from other bakeries (Coccadotts is our third box)We aren't sure if it's because that's how the tasting boxes are done at coccadotts, but we did put that we wanted cupcakes in our order form, we received small cakes (Which again, is fine, but just wasn't what we were really initially looking for - we wanted cupcakes since we've noticed these do usually taste slightly different, and we like to see how each bakery frosts / decorates them) - but we didn't really knock off any points for that - Cake is cake at the end of the day!The overall cake taste was really good, moist, good flavor! The frosting, however, felt very thick/heavy and really grainy to us, was not my most favorite.The cakes themselves had frosting writing on them, so we knew which was which [flavor wise]. However, the box also came with little containers - of what? no clue. I wasn't sure if they were fillings, other frostings? Other cake tasting boxes we've gotten, it had a printed-out form of what exactly was inside (cake flavor, frosting, fillings, etc) , which made it a whole lot easier.Something we really were not impressed with at all - When we put our order in, I was e-mailed a couple of times afterward about payment... I paid immediately after I got the first e-mail (shortly after I put my order in) about how to pay for our tasting box and sent a confirmation of it the same day. I then got e-mailed twice after this, basically about "making sure to pay."I understand places of business need payment, this is how they continue to run and stay open. But this felt so impersonal to me.... If I'm going to be e-mailed, I would rather it be a check-in on what we thought of the cakes. One email we received; the first whole sentence didn't even make sense.... It was subjected to the email was "How was your order?" but then the body of the email only talks about payment, stating (this is the entire email body) - "You should have received your total and processed the payment for your upcoming order with us. If you haven't, please check your spam folder and contact us to process payment. All orders must be paid for 24 hours after ordering or will be cancelled." - When I I had already paid..... Just felt very "We only care about money" to me...Additionally, I accidentally put the order in for the wrong day. When I arrived to pick up our tasting box, it wasn't finished because I made a mistake. I asked if they could accommodate for my mistake, they couldn't (which was totally okay, I did not expect them to!)  I very politely apologized and said that I was totally fine with coming back for the order date I put - I 100% was not upset at all, it was my goof and didn't blame them for that. The younger woman at the counter was VERY nice, felt super bad (even though it was not her fault at all!) however, another woman came out from the back, too - Immediately seemed annoyed we even asked, barely talked to us, and gave us kind of an attitude about it - I wasn't expecting them to accommodate my mistake and I certainty was 100% okay with coming back in a week. Just felt very uninviting to me.Overall, I just did not get a great vibe... Their cake IS good. Their frosting is okay, but the multiple e-mails all about payment just really didn't sit well with me, and the overall friendliness

I ordered cupcakes for my private family gender reveal with Coccadotts. It’s a special bakery to me and my husband because for one of our first dates we stumbled upon the bakery and got cupcakes from here. We loved them so much that we knew for our baby’s gender reveal we wanted them from Coccadotts. I was not disappointed. The cupcakes are moist, the frosting is perfect, and the cupcakes came out perfectly. These are the best cupcakes I’ve ever had. Our family couldn’t stop raving about them too. I bought mini cupcakes for my coworkers to announce my baby’s gender to them and they loved them. The owner and staff are so sweet and friendly. Now I’m ordering my baby shower cake with Coccadotts and I can’t wait to see how it comes out. This bakery is amazing and the quality of their cakes is unmatched.

We love Coccadotts, they made our wedding cake which was the most elegant and DELICIOUS cake we have ever had. The spice cake with cinnamon and apple filling is the perfect fall wedding flavors. We went back again for my husbands 30's birthday and they knocked it out of the park again! Taste and design are both 10/10.

Ordered a 6" cake for my birthday. I can't say I've been so hideously disappointed in a cake that cost 42$ dollars. For starters, it looks gorgeous. Then you find out those decorations are in fact plastic. Hopefully someone reads this before they make the same mistake my poor gran did, and crunch into a solid plastic bauble with a WIRE IN IT. The cake was moist but flavorless, and the frosting was stiff, flavorless. I didn't even finish my piece and we decided as a family it would be better off if my birthday cake was left outside for the raccoons. Unlike the bakery we did, however, remove all the choking hazards first.

I just recently ordered a mermaid cake with mermaid cupcakes for my daughter‘s second birthday and it was absolutely amazing. I’ve been coming here for years. They made a walking dead cake for my daughter when she was 12 and she’s now 23 and that cake was also amazing. I absolutely love them. They always do a great job never disappoint.

I stopped into Coccadotts to place an order today, the day after Valentines Day. The case was loaded with amazing delectable desserts. I couldn’t resist to treat myself to 1/2 dozen cupcakes and chocolate covered strawberries, especially because everything in the store was 1/2 off full price. They were without a doubt the best cupcakes I have had, light, fluffy and absolutely delicious. They had a nice variety and I have only one regret, I didn’t buy more! Honestly, if you are in neighborhood or even go out of your way, treat yourself, you won’t be disappointed! I can’t wait to eat the strawberries and anxious for the next cupcake! I will definitely stop in often for a treat and now for special occasions. Oh, and employees accommodating, friendly and great too!

I visit Albany every year for my friend's board game weekend and I always supply the desserts for the group from Coccadots. They are always popular and go quickly no matter how much I get. I get an assortment of all kinds of things (cake pops, cupcakes, brownies etc) and I also squirrel away a secret stash for myself but that's beside the point.Looking forward to continuing this tradition for a long time!Parking: Parking lot in front of store, plenty of space
