I would steer clear of the cupcakes but I guess they’re free, so…. Owner is incredibly rude and cupcakes taste like they come out of a box and stale. When tried to complain, the owner refused to respond. Check out the reviews online – terrible!
Thanks Anne, I’ve been wanting to try this place but after I read the reviews on Google I will steer clear. It’s very strange that all the “good” reviews were posted on the same day…
Check these out – NO good reviews. And, as I discovered (thankfully with a livingsocial deal instead of full price), others also notice they have dry cake and only 2-3 flavors, not the tons of flavors you would think by looking at the list. You would do better buying them at a grocery store. Probably cheaper and fresher. The name “Couture” is definitely misleading. I would have actually given them a second chance had the owner not been so rude when I tried to complain that some we had bought were inedible when we tried to eat them the same day. I always try to support local business, but not this one.

as far as the cupcake place goes… I also had a rude encounter with the owner when I was talking with her on the phone about cupcakes for my daughter in law’s baby shower… however, in all fairness … my college daughter and her friends have all had great experiences with get together tea parties there! so I guess it all depends upon your own experiences so maybe it’s work checking it out for yourself especially if you can do it “free” !!
Kathy, I’d advise your daughter and her friends to stay away unless it’s free. They have an F with the Better Business Bureau due to the number of complaints and unresolved complaints. Yikes!
