Cupcake Cove

I had placed an order online on their site for pick the next day. Their website was easy to navigate and to place an order.I placed an order of 6 cupcakes (strawberry, coffee, red velvet, guava & passion fruit, mint, and salted caramel) and 6 french macarons (flavors were strawberry, pistachio, and vanilla--2 of each) for my husband's birthday. They were delicious as they looked. The flavors of the cupcakes were phenomenal! Especially, the guava and passion fruit flavor! Since I worked near by, I walked over to Cupcake Cove to pick up my order. The employee that gave me my order was nice and friendly.

If you ever find yourself in the area, do not skip on CCove (cupcake cove). Not only would you be supporting a local business, but you will get delicious cupcakes (they have macaroons, but I have not tried them) that fulfills any sweet tooth. My son is not a cupcake person at all but when I brought him home a chocolate one....He ate that thing so quick and loved it.My favorite flavors are strawberry and lemon! I can't wait to try all the flavors. Service is excellent here. He is very welcoming and friendly. I'm so happy they survived the pandemic and it's such a treat for me to be able to stop in.

Absolutely delicious! I recently tried the pineapple cupcakes and they are a dream. A must visit if you are ever in Oakland.

Show Cupcake Cove some love if you're in downtown Oakland! Stop by this quaint shop during the day and get some cupcakes. They've made it through the pandemic (unfortunately only as a staff of one) and it smells wonderful when you walk by in the mornings. I purchased a bunch of cupcakes towards the end of the day on Thursday and everything was still fresh. Took them home and all of the cupcakes were gone by Saturday morning. Glad to have stumbled across Cupcake Cove when they were open, as I am typically not in the area in the late afternoons!

The treat is AMAZING, you can definitely taste the 12 year experience in the cupcake! Dude at counter was nice and the environment that the store is in very welcoming. Since I'll never get used to how expensive things are in California 4.8/5

I'm always excited to fine treat shops. Their cupcakes are delicious I was so happy they offer gluten free cupcakes.... It's a small corner shop and the service was awesome. There is plenty of seating outside the shop and some really nice boutiques around there.

Friendly behind the counter. Small out of the way spot. I had a chocolate cupcake which was fantastic.

Located right next to the water fountain in Oakland city Center. This small shop sells cupcakes and macarons. I do understand that cupcake sells at $3 a piece which to some people seems expensive. However, I have seen reviews posted in 2012 stating that $3 was the price back then. After 6 years amidst inflation and higher prices of commodities, the prize remained the same and yet, people still complain. Oh well, you can't simply please everyone. I dropped by on a Tuesday when the store fortunately offers $2 deal on cupcakes. However by the time I came in, there's only a few cupcakes left. Not really a big surprise whenever there's a special sale. I decided on a chocolate cupcake with peanut butter frosting.The cupcake was moist and the right amount of sweetness. The frosting was creamy and very rich in peanut butter flavor. I really loved it. I'll be back to try other flavors when I'm in the area.

Pretty good cupcakes but mediocre service. I get that it's tough to find people but jeez, find someone who can at least greet the customer and have basic life skills or say hello. Stood for 15 minutes before being acknowledged. Finally when the person at the counter was done with a person phone call I was greeted. Nope.

Came here for a lil pick me up after a bad day. The guy at the counter was really nice, we had a good chat since it was empty and close to closing. The cupcakes themselves were fantastic, strongly recommend the lemon one for citrus lovers.
