CRAVE Cupcakes - West U

The cupcakes are good as usual but I was a bit disappointed that when we put in the order for expresso martini and Carajillo they didn't have them They were special edition for this month.Then we ordered for 6 and received only 5.There were 2 individually pack and one box of 4 but there were only 3Overall cup cakes are good.

I came on Saturday morning right at opening to avoid crowds/people. I got an espresso martini cupcake and carrot cake cupcake. The worker there was very nice and explained each item thoroughly (I asked about the cupcakes and coffee). He told me all the ingredients in the cupcake and how the coffee tasted (two options, one with cinnamon notes, and one that was just plain). The espresso martini and carajillo cupcakes were both limited editions and a collab with Maven, which were not advertised at Crave at all. No signage or anything and you wouldn't know about it unless you follow Maven and/or Lance McCullers (which I do both). The espresso martini cupcake was perfect. Chocolatey, espressoey, and decadent. The carrot cake (the worker's favorite, and one of my preferred cakes) was not bad, but not the best I've had, the frosting was too sweet. I've come a few times in the past and never had a bad experience here. Only negative thing is that it's pricey!

I was craving a red velvet cupcake today and I definitely found the best place , the frosting on their red velvet cupcakes is so soft and creamy it was definitely amazing ! The filling was soft but not too sweet! Definitely going back again soon, the ambiance was quiet and they have chairs and tables to enjoy cupcakes or coffee in a nice quiet ambiance , the service was definitely outstanding , they also have reserved parking specially for the costumers , overall I definitely give it 5 stars and I'll go back again .

I've visited numerous times over a span of several years. Always friendly service and very bright & clean inside. Cupcakes always taste fresh. I've gotten the mini cupcakes for a baby shower too which you can personalized the topping. Their limited edition Vietnamese coffee flavor was my absolute favorite cupcake! It was their second time offering it and I really hope it can come back for limited runs again or even as a permanent flavor!

Beautiful clear display of cupcakes. Clean and neat interior. It is an inviting vibe. They have large selection of different flavors for everyone. I had the confetti, salted caramel, and vanilla cupcakes. The bases of the 3 cupcakes are the same. The icing on top of the cupcakes were a little too sweet for me. However, I prefer the salted caramel one because of the contrast of sweet and salt, also there was a small amount of caramel injected in the middle of the cupcake base. I will go back to try other flavors like the dark chocolate to see if there will be surprise inside.

This review focuses on the vegan and Gluten Free options available at Crave, which are plentiful and very well priced.I actually drove out of my way to get the vegan red velvet cupcake. I remembered it having a different taste than what I received today. Additionally, since I am really trying to minimize my gluten and choose vegan options as much as possible, I decided to pick up the vegan and Gluten Free chocolate chip cookie. I have to tell ya- I miss Gluten and chocolate eating this cookie. It just wasn't enough of a replacement for me to be determined that I could go without the real thing without complaints. It just was more cake than cookie consistency for me. I missed the crunch of the cookie with bits of melted chocolate between. bites. But thats just personal preference. The dessert was edible and filling. I'm carb sensitive but this cookie didn't leave me wanting my pillow after eating it, which is a good thing. It just was really sweet for my taste. Like drink a whole bottle of water sweet. That alone is the only real reason I wouldn't suggest this dessert.The vegan red velvet was a little dry. I needed water to devour it. I had to take breaks eating it in fact. It too was not my cup of tea, but for those whose only option is vegan desserts, it's a great replica of the real thing. Again however the frosting is way too thick and sweet for my taste. I believe my experiment with vegan desserts was not a complete fail, but I think I rather eat non vegan cupcakes and cookies in extreme moderation and soothe my sweet tooth whenever possible.

Always great service, always great selection of products, I love that they provide all sorts of extras like birthday or greeting cards, candles. I love their coffee. The cupcakes have not gotten old the ten years I have been a customer. If you want to put a smile on anyone's face this is the place.They offer sugar free, vegan options if needed. Now there is not much space to stay and eat there in the store, so I want you to think of them as less of a care you go and stay and more of a place you get the goodies and go elsewhere. Last time I was there, I was having a horrible day absolutely horrible, I had tears in my eyes and I am not the type to cry in public. They just were so kind so caring so wonderful to me. I was touched. Thank you Crave.

My favorite cupcakes right now! Not too sweet. Definitely made to perfection. Service was great & cupcake shop was very clean and cute!

Excellent cupcakes. Whenever we're in Houston, we pick up 5-10 dozen for business events. Our customers love them and we certainly enjoy a few in the process.

We try not to indulge in Crave Cupcakes too often. They always have the most decadent and beautiful cupcakes in their display. We visited this location during Rodeo season hoping to find some special treats to split with friends/family.This location has limited parking, but with a little patience you might get lucky and find something. The staff is friendly and efficient. The menu has rotating seasonal and regular items for the whole family, but if you want something specific it is probably best to call ahead. We enjoy the following:- Cupcake latte- Chai Tea Latte- Old fashipned birthday cake cupcake- Salted caramel cupcake- Wedding cake cupcake- Rodeo confetti - Rodeo yellow rose bourbon- Cotton candy cupcake- Crave doggie treatsWe try not to order the same thing. If you are in the area and craving something sweet and shareable, we hope you give them a try.
