NoRA Cupcake Company

Nora's always has the most unique & delicious cupcakes!! I love their pink & black grunge theme so much! This place is so special and different than any other bake shop I've been to.

Cute cupcake shop conveniently located right on Main St in Middletown, CT! When you walk in you are instantly hit with the smells of sugary goodness in the air. There is a glass display right in front where you can view the spread of the day. Not as large of choices as I am accustomed to at another popular CT cupcake shop but some great choices were available. We were greeted with a pleasant young lady who was actually enjoying a couple cupcakes herself behind the counter lol.

She was able to answer our questions when we asked about flavors, fillings and pricing. Let's talk quickly about pricing. $6.00 a cupcake....steep! To be honest, it stopped me from wanting to buy more cupcakes.

I got the Irish Car Bomb and my daughter got the Rainbow Sprinkle Funfetti. I really enjoyed both the frosting and the chocolate ganache Jamison filling! I found the chocolate cake portion to be a little dry. My daughter really enjoyed hers! She said it was a perfect amount of sprinkles.

Now, the moment of truth...do I think the cupcakes choices were worth it? Well, worth the trip, Yes! Worth the price? No. If i'm really craving a cupcake and in the Middletown area, I would go again to try one new flavor! I am a variety gyal and whether you get one or a 4 pack, they are still $6.00 each.

I love the vibe of Nora's more than anything else.
It's like a cupcake lounge that smells of sugar. I've been coming to Nora's for years and appreciate the variety of flavors and decorations they come up with. My favorite cupcakes include the Irish Car Bomb and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. The cupcakes are big enough for 2 people to share. They have seasonal cupcakes for every holiday imaginable. Another reason to visit is to try their new ice cream place next door. So many treats!!

Nora Cupcakes in Middletown (The NoRa District) North Of RApallo Avenue is just amazing! I went in on Christmas Eve for some last minute Grinch cupcakes after brunch at Eli Cannon's and it was just perfect.

Since opening on NYE in 2011, they have been offering a menu of traditional cupcake flavors, custom cakes, vegan and gluten free options, signature cookies and treats.

They really knocked it out of the park with their holiday cupcakes this year! Owner Carrie does such a great job. Below are the amazing holiday cupcakes this year--my favs were The Grinch, Buddy the Elf and Bruce the Spruce. But really---they all were so delicious!

There's such a fun surprise when you cut open the Grinch cupcake- not only that it tastes so good! I hope it comes back next year again!

Can't wait to go back and check out the rest of their flavors.

It states that is closed on Mondays on YELP, but they are open today. I'm not sure if this is accurate or not. The cupcake are always delicious- and definitely are big enough to share the prices have increased- however, so it's about 6.00+ per cupcake.

Grabbed a pride cupcake yesterday. Loved the frosting on the "love is blind" cupcake. So yummy. My cupcake was not as  moist as I would have liked. I went at the end of the day so I figured it  may have been sitting a while. Such a cute idea to have it filled with hearts and topped with rainbow frosting. They had many selections that I also want to try so I will be back soon.

They also have delivery options.

Fabulous business and delicious cupcakes. I placed a delivery order with 4 different flavors to send as a gift and it was a very well received sweet surprise! They raved about the cupcakes and the handwritten card was above and beyond - a very nice touch! Thank you ladies!

NoRA always has the best cupcakes and so many different flavors! Their online ordering system is so easy to use! I was able to put in an order for a little over than a dozen cupcakes and they were packed so nicely! I loved that we were able to mix up which cupcakes we got!

We were able to get cookie dough gluten free which got rave reviews!

My favorite was the raspberry lemon! The filling inside is the best part combined with the cake and the icing!

We also got Irish carbomb, funfetti, red velvet cheesecake and cookie dough! They always have a variety of flavors whether you want chocolate, vanilla or some sort of combo!

I have been here several times over several years. I was so excited when they first opened. They had and still have so many creative flavors which always look delicious. Recently, I was super excited to get my hands on a Funfetti. However, they are never as delicious as I want them to be. For how much they are, I have never been completely blown away and the last time I was there to pick up four, they all ended up being dry. I was kind of disappointed.

It is still a cupcake though and it is sure to put a smile on someone's face if you need too.

Best cupcakes and customer service around, professional and helpful staff. Threw a large order on a short notice, great communication and no issues at all. Thank you so much for your hard work and amazing cupcakes !
