Smallcakes Chicago

I passed by Smallcakes on my way to work and decided to get my coffee from this place. I ordered a Caramel Latte with Almond milk and the coffee tasted good however the cost was not justified. $8 for a small 12 Oz cup is a bit pricey and I'd prefer to go to other cafes around the neighborhood than pay such an expensive price.

Out of this world cupcakes! Everyone that had one was in love. The frosting and flavor of the cupcakes are unreal. I tried the Reeces PB Cup flavored cupcake and was in heaven. Great place to get birthday or celebratory cupcakes!!

For me it's important to support small businesses owned by women such as Smallcakes. This shop is eye catching and I like how each kind of cupcakes are individually displayed on their own fixture, not all one one shelf. The large cupcakes almost have a copious, bouffant amount of frosting.It was hard to decide on 4 for a birthday.Peanut Butter Cup - The candy and drizzled topping, what's not to love? Rich chocolate cake, tooWedding Cake - Didn't like the frosting, but the almond cake was great Birthday Cake - I'm not keen on the sprinkles but otherwise another delicious cupcake.Red Velvet - said to be "famous red velvet". Maybe it was an off day because we all agreed it was dry and lacked flavor.4 stars for the cupcakes, ambience and price but I have to deduct 1 star because service was slow. There was 1 person working and it was a wait for her to make someone else's drink.Coffee and blended drinks are also sold here. Mini cupcakes and cookies are available for catering. I'd come back if the service improves.

This place was the cutest before their remodel-- there was always one lady working who was super sweet and conversational. Now, whenever I walk in, they seem annoyed with me that I'm there. I don't know if the remodel included 'act as cold as possible when people walk in' but I honestly haven't been back in a couple of months because the vibe is really off-putting.I do really like their cream cheese frosting so I rounded up to 3 stars.

The cupcakes are okay, not the best I've ever had though. The service is okay. There is not much of an ambiance, certainly no place to eat in the shop:

We hopped in here while wandering the city. The owner was super sweet, just like her cupcakes! All 3 flavors were amazing!When I got home to MD, I learned this was a chain. Which is fine, but the owner of this particular shop made it sound like the shop was all hers. Which, she could have owned it. It's just odd, those in my group were also surprised to hear it wasn't a small business like portrayed.

the cupcakes are moist with lots of frostings, but overall it is way too sweet that you can't even taste what flavor it is. The quality is not on par with boutique bakery stories, more on par with grocery store cupcakes

Ended up getting just two cupcakes which were AMAZING - moist with lots of frosting. My birthday cake cupcake tasted just like birthday cake. I don't know how because I didn't know birthday cake was a flavor but this cupcake brought to mind all the BEST birthday cakes of childhood. You know those - parties where the mom goes all the way on theme, decor and pony! Kiddo got red velvet and said it was the best red velvet ever and she's somewhat of a red velvet connoisseur given if it's on the menu, she gets it.A bit disappointed because we went here for amazing looking shakes topped with cookies and cupcakes and the rims splattered with icing we saw on a Pinterest post of the top dessert places in Chi town. Although it doesn't appear they make those (anymore?) the cupcakes were a full slice of cake - filling and delicious! These are not kid's birthday party box mix cakes we're talking about.

Service was great and very friendly but ALL my cupcakes were very dry. I bought a 6 pack for my wife's birthday and all 6 were dry. Even my kids commented on how they really like the frosting but not the cupcakes. At $30 a box, they are not worth it at all. Store bought would even be better.

their slutty brownie cake is amazing!! also best iced mocha ever i've had! got the pupcakes for my dog's birthday and he loved them too!
