The Pink Box

It would be nice if they'd let people know when they're closed during normal business hours.

This is my new favorite bakery. I just wish they were closer so I'm not able to get here as much. I won the Christmas giveaway which consisted of 12 cupcakes, a gallon of pink lemonade, and banana pudding. While there, I purchased 2 of their famous cinnamon buns. Omg! They are amazing! I've had their banana pudding before and it is wonderful! The cupcakes will be for tomorrow's Christmas gathering. As always, service was impeccable and everything is delicious!!

I was sadly disappointed. My husband and I went to the movies and saw that this bakery was open! I got super excited because I would drive by and see it and wanted to go in... It was Saturday at about 5 PM... We walked in and there was a teenage girl almost laying across the counter on her phone. I get it. It's boring when you're alone and she's a kid, but she was not very welcoming at all. There were only three cupcakes and I said are these all you have? And she just said Yep... She was very underwhelmed and looked like she did not even want to be there. I asked what flavors they were and I basically got an exhale, and then she told me which are which so I said I will buy all of them... While she was getting them ready another lady came inside and said she's been wanting to come in for a long time and the teenager very underwhelmed again didn't say come back. She did not even tell the lady that there were no cupcakes left... She let the lady stand in line behind us and I had to turn around and tell the lady that there were no cupcakes left Didn't offer anything to this lady just as she didn't want to help me. I don't know if my cupcakes were old, but they were pretty dry and maybe it's because I had such a bad experience in the shop itself that I really didn't even care if I liked them or not. I wish I liked them because it was a really cute shop.

these cupcakes are so delicious! I stopped by to get my husband some cupcakes for Father's Day and he loved them and so did I. I had to go back for more. unfortunately, the cashier up at the front just has a weird attitude and it just makes you not even want to purchase any items. it just seems like she doesn't want to be there or help out the customers. after me and my husband walked out of the store, He said "yeah the vibe in there is definitely off." However the owner seems like such a very nice and sweet lady.

You HAVE to visit the pink box! This bakery is tucked away in the back of the Harbour view marketplace (close to the theater and cold stone).. When you walk in, it's bright, clean and very well organized. This delicious little sweet haven is proudly a black, woman owned business! Ms. Gwen & her employees are absolutely the nicest most customer oriented around. I came in for a Yelp event & after getting a taste, I was eager to have MORE so I came back to purchase more. Her cupcakes are so moist & fresh! There is no artificial taste, only natural blissful flavors. The strawberry cupcake had a creamy yummy jam type consistency hidden in the middle, that just made the flavor profile EXPLODE. The caramel cupcake was the perfect balance of sweet and savory! I love when you have a sweet topping & the cake isn't overly worked with sugar! NAILED IT. Their signature pink iced cupcake also did not disappoint. I consider myself a cake type dessert lover but honestly Gwen has switched me over to puddings! Her banana pudding was a taste of PURE HEAVEN. It had the right amount of creamy, crunch and did not feel heavy like banana pudding can tend to be! I'm actually planning another trip back this week to purchase a couple. Last but certainly not least, the homemade pink lemonade was so refreshing & really hit the spot after a variety of sweets. Suffolk is a little far from my house in Hampton but after speaking with Gwen, she says they spotlight at the farmers market in Yorktown so both sides of the water can truly indulge! DO NOT MISS OUT on The Pink Box- these ladies are incredible & such good people. Support local & tell them I sent you! Thank you so much Pink Box.

My fiancé had these delivered to our apartment after finding the bakery on Yelp so I can only comment on the cupcakes themselves. Unfortunately, the delivery service was poor so the cupcakes were flipped over by the time we opened the box, no fault of the bakery though. The cupcakes were tasty! I really enjoyed the moist cake and the flavors of each cupcake (chocolate, caramel, red velvet, lemon). My favorite was probably the salted caramel because it was a subtle taste. I personally wasn't a huge fan of the icing because it was too sugary/sweet for my taste. I look forward to going to the bakery and trying out the cupcakes there!

I heard about this place from my coworker. And since we are down the street from this location I decided to stop in Monday at lunch. The staff was really friendly and the establishment is very clean. I am something like a cupcake connoisseur so I am very picky about my cupcakes. So while it was on the plainer side, it was very moist and delicious.There's not a thick layer of frosting (which I'm thankful for) and it too was tasty. Definitely stopping back through on some lunch breaks.

Yummo!!!!! Do yourself a favor and eat their cupcakes. It is totally carry out. So, go there and carry out!!!! I wish I had taken a pic of my cupcakes but we were too eager to eat them. They are delicious!!!

Went in expecting a moist delicious Cupcake, with the tart lavor of lemon curd inside, sadly I was disappointed. My first visit and my last, decided to try 1 lemon cupcake, and was told there was lemon curd inside. Initial disappointment came when I opened the box, the cupcake was not the same sizes as the ones in the display case, as the cake portion was much smaller & hidden under alot of frosting. The display case had cupcakes with the cake above the level of cupcake paper, peeking out feom under a smaller amount of frosting all the way around. Mine did not, exactly opposite with cake well below the level of paper and a load of frosting in attempt to try and make the cupcake look bigger than it was. Taste was decent, a little tart like lemon curd may have been used in the batter, BUT there was no lemon curd inside or on top of this cupcake-as you can see in photos. Texture was VERY DRY, literally tasted like a cupcake that was either older or overbaked. Definitely NOT worth $3.50 plus tax for this cupcake, making it $3.94! I can and have made much better cupcakes at home, and was expecting so much more from a cupcake shop that specializes in them. ​

Super cute little shop. beautiful cupcakes & options & great taste , they also had pudding & some bottled drinks
