Cupcake Station

This place has some of the best cupcakes! I love their weekly specials! Good deals and for a great price!

I absolutely love the specials that they run throughout the week. On Tuesdays it is a cupcake is like 2 something. Today, I got the banana cream one and the campfire one because who doesn’t love a good smores flavored one. Customer service is awesome.

These cupcakes may very well be the best cupcakes in the entire world. With vegan options, I am a huge fan! With nut allergies, the friendly staff is extremely helpful when it comes to making sure you’re lot given anything made with ingredients you’re not supposed to have. Every time I come here, I leave craving it until the next time. So delish!

I ordered from here for the first time for a party I was having. I had faith in these Unilocal reviews since I did not have time to try the cupcakes before.
And I was right in trusting them! I ordered 7 dozen different cupcakes and they were all SO GOOD. I’d have to say that the banana and the caramel are my favorites!

Still fantastic cupcakes. Great for all occasions. Vegan options, with or without nuts. Tons of flavors and even a canine-​friendly treat! I love this little shop; tucked in the corner next to Mezzavino on Liberty. The sign outside advertises the daily specials/​sales. It’s Tuesday! Therefore, I picked up a dozen handpicked assortment of full size cupcakes for $ 27 + tax for an office birthday. Wednesday is actually the best deal: buy 2 get 1 free. Dozen would be $ 24 for full size. Check the website for pricing, as there are moderate increases now and then.
Though I wanted to sample all of them, picking one is so much fun. I choose the Sunday Morning, which is a cherry cake with buttercream, chocolate and cherry on top. What a treat and so very filling. soft cake, rich cream and dark chocolate frosting inside, not just drizzled on top.
Online ordering is very easy for large events and catering. Check the website for pricing and flavor options if you want to plan out your order before your visit. Take a look in the case when you get there. The available options vary by location and you might find a surprise of a couple others when you get there.

Amazing ! The best cupcakes are the stuffed ones. The Bumpalicious cupcake, coconut cupcake & the Oreo are some of the best cupcakes. I love that these are made fresh ! They are a little pricey but I keep coming back. You need these in your life. Go now.

Had a good variety of flavors. Clean place with friendly staff. We stopped in during an event downtown and even though there was a line, we didn’t have to wait long.
The Bumpaliciius cupcake was very good! The peanut butter and chocolate cupcake, however, was a big disappointment. The chocolate cake was mediocre, kind of dry. The frosting looked like it should be fantastic, but tasted like almond extract. Absolutely NO peanut butter flavor. Not sure if this was a mistake or if that’s how it normally is, but definitely would not get it again.

I bought a dozen cupcakes for a birthday party. They were delicious and a nice change from a birthday cake. A lot of cupcakes I have tried are too dry with overly sweet frosting. These had a moist and delicate cake with a flavorful frosting. I came in on a Friday afternoon and all of their flavors were in stock except for one. As far as flavors I chose the german chocolate, carrot cake, banana pudding, sea salt caramel, samoa cookie, peanut butter cup, and chocolate cheesecake. Everyone thought they were great and enjoyed the variety of choices. The staff could have been more helpful on pricing and product information. Overall if you’re looking for a fresh, one of a kind cupcake, I highly recommend this place. You can park within a block at the parking stucture on the corner of 5^th Ave and William St.

This was my first visit. I ordered a caramel bar, sugar cookie and a cup of tea. I asked if there was milk to put in my tea. I was a bit surprised when the staff pointed to tiny cups of cream and then said there was milk in the cooler for purchase. I probably would have let this slide, but when I sat at the table to eat my bar, I could see a refrigerator behind the counter with a gallon of milk in it. They couldn’t spare a few teaspoons in the name of customer service? The caramel bar was nothing special. Overall I was very disappointed and likely won’t return as Ann Arbor has plenty of other places to consume calories.

Very tasty cupcakes! I had the mini lemon lust and my daughter had the vanilla bean with sprinkles. I did not taste the vanilla bean, but the lemon lust cake was light and fresh and tasted of real lemons. The buttercream frosting was exactly what buttercream should be-​rich, smooth, and heavy with high quality butter. We WILL go back.

I was disappointed with the cupcake station.
Service was bad, but not terrible. I had the cookies and cream cupcakes with a friend. They were good but not great.

SETTING:
Nothing fancy, and serves its purpose. Sometimes it’s better to cut the frills and get to the point.
CUPCAKES:
If you and your pet dog (or, if you are a dog and have a pet human) happen to crave cupcakes at the same time, come here! They have PUPcakes! Mostly human cupcakes, but still pretty neat to have some special dog treats. Seems like they sometimes run out of the more popular flavors as the day goes on. Also, you get a free mini cupcake for your birthday! Now that’s a sweet deal.
IMPRESSIONS:
Assortment of flavors at a reasonable price. A rare combination, but much needed. If you or your pup need a pick-​me-​up, Cupcake Station will leave you smiling :).

Love the place .very cute !! First time in Michigan .just walking around and then I was at the store… love everything about it!!! Wonderful, Delicious and Nice and Friendly… Next time. definitely I will be back for more !!

We stopped here in the evening during the Art Fair so the line was long, the selection was probably smaller than usual (only one flavor came in the mini size), and all of the seats were full. However, the cupcakes were very good and when I have walked past on more normal days it hasn’t looked crowded. I will return to try some new flavors.

Cute cupcakes in downtown ann arbor! Pricey. but a nice treat.
The sizes ranged from mini to jumbo. although the cost of half a dozen of mini is almost the same as the regular sized. The fatty inside me reckons the regular is more worth it

We used the Cupcake Station for our wedding cupcakes and a small cake for cutting. We opted for mini cupcakes and a 9 inch top tier to cut.
We had 50 people and had 150 cupcakes, we ordered like 7 different varieties. Honestly everyone loved the cupcakes and I probably would’ve ordered 200 had I known how much people would eat. The flavors were great and everyone liked getting a couple different varieties.
The cake on top was pretty basic, but we had asked for it that way so we could add our topped. We also rented the cupcake tower. For $ 35 I felt that the tower was a deal, I tried looking online and nothing was large enough or looked «cheap».
It was easy to order and the staff did a nice job of alerting us if something wouldn’t do well sitting out for a while. We upped our order after initially ordering and it was no problem.
With the price of cakes, I found going the cupcake route a better option. People got a few varieties, everything was delicious and it was simple.

Cupcake places are reviewed by a high level of scrutiny from me, as really the only way to fuck up a cupcake is to make it dry. In addition, $ 3-​$ 4 for something I can eat in 2 bites is hard for me justify when I can buy a premade mix and come out with 24 AND have my house smelling like cupcakes for the same price.
Anyways, Cupcake station delivers. They have interesting flavor combinations that I probably couldnt pull off myself and they put in a little extra sumthin sumthin to really make their cupcakes look beautiful.
Customer service is friendly and generous. Their banana pudding that they offered for me to try was heavenly– probably some of the best I have had.
If you are craving a sweet fix after your meal in DT A², cupcake station is a good place to get your cupcake on

High-​five from me & high-​paw from my dog to the Cupcake Station!
This place has a great selection for humans but also some choices for your pal pooch too.
I wanted to try this place after I saw someone posted a picture of the Station’s Samoa but I was surprised to find out that my dog could get her fix too.
For dogs, they offer a carrot base or peanut butter base pupcake. I think this is a nice option for dogs because most like carrots and peanut butter (but maybe not together) and it’s actually A-​OK for them to eat. Even the dog whisperer, Cesar stands behind carrots and peanut butter for dogs as a treat.
One drawback is dogs can’t actually go inside the Cupcake Station so you’d have to have someone watch them as you order inside. Several downtown businesses in Ann Arbor allow dogs inside or even have a store dog or cat that is permanently there.
My Station’s Samoa was everything I envisioned and the toasted coconut gave the cupcake some diversity in texture. I tried 2 other cupcakes and I found them to be heavy on the frosting but if you take ½ of it off, it improves.
I’ll be going back to the Cupcake Station. My dog and I are both happy with this agreement: I get a cupcake and she gets her pupcake — what could be better?

One of my favorite places in Ann Arbor! It’s a quaint little local business thats tucked into Liberty Street. Staff are always friendly and when we went, it was nearing closing time so all cupcakes were buy 2 get 1 free… you can’t go wrong there! My all-​time favorite is the samoa cupcake that’s vanilla with toasted coconut, chocolate, and caramel… to die for! That has been and will be my favorite. My boyfriend had the chocolate cheesecake that seemed to be chocolate cupcake with a cream cheese frosting. It was OK, but nothing spectacular as it lacked something to make it unique. Otherwise, they have an awesome selection and something for everyone, and always a special cupcake of the day/​week/​month. The cupcakes can sometimes be slightly overcooked on top but that won’t stop me from coming back!

Pros: Quick Service, Flexibility
Cons: Hard to find street parking
I went to cupcake station on Saturday, February 14^th (Valentines day) around 1pm. It wasn’t that busy inside and I had no wait to check out. There were four ladies baking /​available to help behind the counter, so it was an easy checkout.
I had an order of 6 red velvet cupcakes, individually boxed. They looked scrumptious and tasted as good as they looked. They were moist, as cupcakes should be! The frosting tasted like buttercream and really made the look of the cupcake. I ordered the cupcakes 24 hours ahead, which I believe you have to do for group orders. But after we ate our cupcakes we wanted 6 more, and thankfully they were able to give us them promptly. Their individual boxes were packed into a brown bag and then the bag was stapled closed.
Regarding parking, it was hard to find street parking right outside. There are two parking garages a couple blocks away, but since you are only in the store for a couple minutes, that is not worth it. There is an alley behind the store where I kept my car running while I went in the store. It is a tow zone there, so be careful if you decide to try that.
All in all I would go back there again next time I need cupcakes. They were worth their value. I look forward to trying the rest of their expansive selection.
