    After years of R&D, it was here where 4SQ's "Pilgrim" technology *actually worked* for the very first time (Aug 16, 2013). This was Foursquare's "invented the Flux Capacitor" moment. :)

    Everything is basically heaven in your mouth here: Pistachio, Dreaming Princess, Southern Red Velvet, and Carrot Cake. Wait is a bit long if there's a line so prepare to just stand there... Standing.

    Get a slice of the Black and White cake To Go. Bring it home as a surprise treat for your wife. It will totally erase all the sh*t you're in trouble for. Yeah, it's that good.

    We ordered red velvet and carrot cupcakes and raspberry and Nutella cheesecakes. Everything tasty. We went on a Sunday morning, so there was no line, and the attendance was super quick.

    Hands down the best vanilla bean cake I've ever had. The slices of cake are more expensive then the cupcakes, but worth it. The layers of icing make the cake more moist and delicious then cupcake imho

    One of the best bakeries in NYC. Cookie Dough Cake slice was tremendous, possibly the best cake I’ve ever had. Brooklyn Blackout cupcake was very good but the cake of the cupcake was not too good.

    Banana pudding was scrumptious. They have adorable single-serving cheesecakes in a variety of flavors, and are famous for their black and white cupcakes.

    Not just a little cupcake bakeshop, the gluten free pistachio cheesecake is pretty decent as well! Love that it's not so sugary sweet unlike most American bakes.

    Split the Brooklyn Blackout cake slice. Very moist. Decadent. The Oreo and coconut cake looked great as well. Actually, it all looked great.

    They have an iced chai latte perfect for humid summer days, had it with almond milk (ran out of soy) and it tasted like horchata… ?anyway im making it my go-to drink!

  • Elvis RodricksJuly 22, 2018

    What you get here are cupcakes with no preservatives or shortening- you'll notice in taste and texture. The carrot cupcake was freshly soft and top cream was delicious.

    Most of their cakes also come as a cupcake, so try them first to see what you like since the cake portions are big. Everything is delicious though, you can't go wrong.

  • Andrew ChoiMarch 15, 2014

    Delicious cupcakes with cake equivalents. Cake portions are huge! Try the Dreaming Princess, because I'm a dreaming princess.

    They offer a lot for a bakery including breakfast/early lunch options (oatmeal, too). Atmosphere and brand are super cohesive. Staff are helpful and listen. Cakes look awesome, so I stay away.

    this place has deceptively good coffee, never has a line, and has a tiny little model of itself on the wall (for all you fans of meta-dollhouses)

    A must try cupcake shop. Our favorites are the red velvet, the carrot and the "mott" street (a tiramisu inspired cupcake) which can all be washed down with some fantastic Illy coffee!

    Cupcakes are good but experiment with some of the more eccentric takes on classics like key lime pie and cheesecakes.
