Molly's Cupcakes

Hands down the best cupcakes in NYC. My hubby hates cake and any form of it (except icecream cake), but even he's a fan. Creme brûlée, mixed berry, blueberry cheesecake, salted caramel, and chocolate molten are our favorites so far. They have the perfect fluffy cake-y consistency.

Did I mention we loved their cupcakes so much we had them at our wedding- 10 different flavor minis and a 6 inch round cake on top. They were a hit! Thanks for being amazing!

My new favorite cupcake in town!!

I have been wanting to try this place for years ever since I heard they had a cake batter-filled cupcake. I loooove anything cake batter/birthday cake/funfetti vibes, so I'd been dying to try, but I somehow just hadn't made it around to trying until tonight. But boy, it did not disappoint!

The filling literally tastes like fresh cake batter straight from the mixing bowl; so nostalgic! I liked the buttercream frosting, but it wasn't my favorite part (though my friend thought it was a little much/ too thick, and I noticed some other people had scooped their frosting off of this cupcake, too). I thought it overall was perfect though! I also liked that the cupcake itself was lighter / not too dense. I would use a fork next time haha; it got a little messy/out of hand once I got to the center (but it was sooo good).

I am 1000% going to make this a new go-to; I don't think I'll be able to walk past it again without stopping in for a cake batter cupcake!

Also, bonus points for their cute swing seats :)

Move over Magnolia Bakery (though I still love your Banana Pudding). Molly's is hands down the best cupcake I've had in town.

You really can't go wrong with any of their flavors. The cake itself is very moist, and I love how most of their varieties have a filling which increases the frosting to cake ratio (the fatal flaw of most cupcakes). They have a wide range of flavors from rich and decadent to light(er) and fruity, depending on your hankering of the day.

Grab a friend and split several varieties. You'll for sure have yourselves a time :)

the peach cobbler is fireeeeeeeee! OMG


just typing anything now because i have to reach 85 characters...

The cupcakes were delish - I especially liked the buttercream ones. My favorite was the chocolate cupcake with buttercream frosting and white chocolate shaving. Decadent, moist, and yummy goodness. The red velvets with cream cheese filling were my second favorite.

I am normally not a cupcake fan, because I had my fair share of overly sweet frosting, with dry cupcakes. However, this was love at first bite. The cupcake was moist all the way through. The buttercream was just the right amount of sweet and fluffy.

Tried a variety of different flavors from Molly's Cupcakes on a food tour. I would say that the carrot cake cupcake was the best by far. Loved the entire atmosphere of place.

The best Double Dash find ever! Each cupcake is its own work of art. The most moist, light, and airy cake I have ever eaten, hands down. The creme brûlée was my favorite... the glaze retained the iconic crack sensation of its namesake. The service of the packaging was perfect, recyclable, and preserved all of the delicate masterpieces.

I can't wait to try more flavors.

I got the peach cobbler and cream cheese cupcakes and they were sooo good, especially for $4. NYC is expensive af and I've recently been to a place that sells cupcakes tinier than this for $6 so having something more affordable and delicious definitely put thus as one of the better cupcake places I've been where I don't have to walk away with too much guilt.

Service is pretty quick when there aren't lines and the servers are so nice. The bakery has a lot of seating and even cute swing ones near the bar area.

I recommend if you're in the area and want something sweet!

This place is so cute! We love the "school" theme with all the décor. The tables look like old school student desks and the "bar" area seating is made up of swings that give a nod to the playground. The names of the flavors are given superlatives such as "Best Smile". They have some great flavors and if there isn't one that fits your fancy, you can also do a build your own by choosing from the cake flavors and icing flavors on their menu.

What we ordered:
- Blueberry Cheesecake "Best Smile" - Vanilla cake infused with classic cheesecake, cinnamon graham cracker crumb, pastry cream and glazed blueberry toppings
- Crème Brulee "The Foreign Exchange Student" - Vanilla cake, classic crème brulee custard, caramelized sugar coating and glazed berries
- Samoa "Class Trouper" - Vanilla cake with coconut caramel filling dipped in dark chocolate ganache topped with caramel buttercream and shortbread chunks
- Ron Bennington "Most Likely to Succeed" - Chocolate cake with peanut butter filling, chocolate ganache and crushed butterscotch topping
- Build Your Own - Carrot cake and Cream Cheese frosting. We even got a little sample of the Brown Butter frosting on the side and it was divine.

We came in pretty late and it looks like some of the flavors were sold out but we still managed to snag a good amount, looking forward to coming back and trying out more. Only thing I would suggest is more drink options that don't have caffeine, for those who are coming later in the day. Possibly some school sized mini cartons of milk, to play into the theme? Eating all of these sweets did make us pretty thirsty. My partner ended up ordering a coffee and although they did not sell milk per se they did have it for the coffee drinks and they were nice enough to give us a half a mug of milk on the side which he gave to my sister. They also have cups and a self service water dispenser for you to use as well.

This is the 2nd time I ordered cupcakes for some of my staff. The people here are so nice and accommodating and they have great prices. The cupcakes are delicious. I wanted navy blue cupcakes. I love the way they frosted them differently like I asked (extra fee but worth it). I did the gold edible beading myself as they don't do that kind of decorating, but if I can do it any one can!

These are pretty amazing cupcakes! Tried the blueberry cheesecake and crème brûlée, both were so good and not too sweet. The crème brûlée is my favorite cause it had yummy custard inside, was so delicious with coffee! I got two cupcakes with cortado came to around $13. Staff were friendly, and school theme decor inside, I can't wait to try the other flavors!
