Sweet Mandy B's

Sweet, sweet Mandy B's! I have found my new favorite cupcake in Chicago and can't believe I didn't visit sooner.The shop is super cute and pretty quiet inside. I arrived at a slow time, but near rush hour the crowds poured in. The staff was professional, friendly, and proactive about identifying dietary restrictions. There aren't as many cupcake varieties as Molly's, for example, as the shop focuses mostly on executing traditional flavors really, really well. However, they do have a rotating flavor of the month that is usually pretty interesting as well as many other sweet treats that I haven't tried.I ended up ordering the banana cupcakes with chocolate buttercream frosting, a snickerdoodle cupcake, and unfrosted cake tops as part of a Too Good to Go order. The latter was amazing- the confetti and banana cakes tasted just like pound cake, and were incredibly light and moist! I didn't miss the frosting at all, and wondered if its addition would be too sweet. However, the chocolate frosting on the banana cupcake was so creamy and light that it was extremely addicting! This is one of the best demonstrations of decadent-yet-light I have experienced. The cream cheese frosting on the snickerdoodle was rich and smooth, like the old-fashioned frosting that my grandmother used to make.It's safe to say I will be back soon, and would encourage anyone to pay a visit!

Birthday cupcake - 5/5. Shockingly goodSnickerdoodle cupcake - 4.5/5. Cream cheese frosting is marvelousMint chocolate brownie - 4.5/5. Quite minty and easy to devourOreo pie - 3/5. I'm not sure I'll get another pie here. Caramel feel that gets a bit boring. Solid chocolate crust though.

This is the perfect spot when you are in need of a sweet treat. Sweet Mandy B's has some of the best cupcakes in town. The cakes are really moist and the frosting always complement the flavor really well they also have other desserts in addition to cupcakes, including items like cookies, brownies, and puddings. The service is always really nice and it's a cupcake spot with plenty of seating if you want to enjoy your treat in house. If you have a sweet tooth and are in the area, be sure to stop by Sweet Mandy B's won't be disappointed!

This was a such a cute bakery. As soon as my granddaughter saw it we knew we had to make a stop. The space was very roomy and inviting. Enjoyed checking out their decor and all their offerings. We also noticed how clean everything was. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and everyone was so friendly and helpful. We ordered several items to go but my granddaughter wanted her cupcake on the spot. She enjoyed every single bite. They offer a nice selection of baked goods that make it difficult to choose just one.

Love this place. If you are in the area make sure to visit this spot for a sweet treat. The service was excellent and the cupcakes are always delicious!

This was a cute little bakery with such good cupcakes! There were so many flavors to choose from, but ended up getting the carrot cake, snickerdoodle, and peanut butter chocolate ones. All of which were so rich in flavor, not to sweet but not too plain. We just got them and left, but the inside of the store was very cute and cozy. Other than cupcakes they also had a bunch of other desserts as well, which all looked delicious too.

The Rice Krispies and sugar cookies. This frosting is killer good! The Rice Krispie is so gooey good and the whole place gives a positive welcoming vibe. Staff is so attentive and move quickly when on the go.

Sweetness wonderland. The menu is so wide and the smells really hit you when you walk in the door. Really, there's almost too many things and reasons to come back. I've tried the rice krispy treat, rainbow sprinkle cookie, this banana bread pudding type of thing (see pictures), and the dream bar. I would recommend them all! You really can't go wrong. Fair warning, the stuff is really sweet (I guess that's where their name comes from). I usually split something with a friend or two because those flavors are too hard to resist. Feel free to ask the staff, they really know their sweets! One thing I'll highlight is the rice krispy treats. I usually don't gravitate towards them when I have a sweet craving - but one of my friends recommended them and I'm forever grateful. Give it a shot, trust me.

Really satisfying vegan cupcakes. The frosting and the cake texture is one of the best I have tried. The place has a nice setup for seating. They seem to have multiple delicious looking options overall, but just not enough for vegan/ non-dairy. I would definitely go back when in mood for a vegan cupcake; but I do feel the pricing is on the higher side.

The cake was very moist, and the frosting was delicious. The staff were nice. I would definitely go back.
