Buttercup BakeShop

Not quite sure how this is so highly rated. I got the “too good to go” surprise bag with ~$18 of things from this place. Underlying theme: very very very sweet. When you walk in, it feels like you are breathing in dusts of artificial sweetener. The vanilla cupcake felt dry and stale - funfetti even worse - there was like a pineapple cinnamon cupcake which in theory sounded good but in practice was the whole wheat version of that not good vanilla one - ya :( The carrot cake was a C, a passing grade. Not nearly enough frosting. The cake was moist though. Above all, for a $3.5 cookie, they don’t deliver (at least in my books)

I’m a big fan of Buttercup BakeShop and made my way over to the location. I ordered the lemon slice. They have seating available if you want to enjoy your slice at the bakery. Next time, I will try the strawberry slice. I love that they give large portions as well!

I get the purple ube cake every year for my birthday, and it’s always such a big hit! I love their cakes so much that my friend and I ordered one for our friend’s engagement, and it couldn’t have turned out more beautiful. The staff was so helpful and truly brought our vision to life. Their cupcakes and other treats are also amazing—I don't go anywhere else! Highly recommend!

The shop is easy to find and they have a wide variety of desserts available. I tried out the apple pie cupcake and I thought that they were so sweet. For being a smaller size cupcake, I could not even finish it. I thought I was chewing on sugar cube. The flavor matched the apple I was expecting but the sugar was just too much. The bottom of my cupcake also had red velvet cupcake all over the bottom of the wrapper so my hand got covered in it when I was taking the cupcake out of the container to hold it. ** 2 stars instead of 3 because one thing that I did notice is that they do have a "give us a five star review and get a free cupcake" so their reviews might be inflated compared to what they actually should be.

everything looks great.. but what amazed me was that I sat here for two hours and the most amazing conversation I have had the honor of eavesdropping into between the staff and the customers. They are so down to earth and honestly cared so much… it was a pleasure to witness this today. did i mention they have nutfree mini cupcakes????

Great neighborhood stop that always has a bunch of great options! Got a Chocolate chocolate cake for my brother’s birthday and assortment of cupcakes (hummingbird, red velvet, ube & chocolate with vanilla icing) for Valentine’s Day. Staff is super nice :)

This is absolutely my favorite bakery in NY. They give you generous size amount for the cake slices. Homemade. The cakes are soo soft and just melts in your mouth. Customer service is amazing. Everyone is friendly. They allow you time to browse and see what all they sell. And they don’t force you to buy something you really don’t want. I really appreciate that!! The lemon cake is my favorite one by the way😁

We got two dozens for our son’s first birthday paty, and these were a hit. It was a good assortment and each cupcake was unique. Definitely recommend and worth the money.
