Oliver’s Bite

5 starts for the service, 3 starts for the cup cakes. Ok cake with overly sweetened frostings for my taste.

This is one of my favorite place for cupcakes. They are fresh, moist, and just the right amount of sweetness. My favorite are the salted caramel and green tea. Not only their cupcakes are delicious, the people there are very friendly. Great customer service.

What a nice shop! The owners are delightful. My cupcake, salted caramel, was wonderful and they let me switch it from vanilla to chocolate cake. I loved the frosting, which was very light in texture and flavorful. I did not opt for all the add on sprinkle stuff, but it looked like it would be fun if that was your preference.
BTW, the place is immaculately clean. That really impressed me.

I’ve tried 4 different cupcakes so far, my favorite is the carrot cake. The cupcakes are tasty and not overly sweet. Plus they offer gluten free! I love the idea of choosing your own toppings, but so far I am really happy with their house combinations.

My office was delivered cupcakes and someone brought three home. I thought they were so beautiful looking I couldn’t resist one. It was the carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.
I couldn’t believe how great it was. I searched the box and could barely see the logo (hint bigger logo). I thought it was probably some fancy bakery downtown. I searched the internet and was so excited to see it is here in our Burien.
Hurray !!! Great job whoever is whipping up these fabulous cupcakes. I’ll be dropping by very soon for more.

Best cupcakes money can buy. The PB&J takes me back to the flavors only my childhood could really appreciate. Thank you for the experience.

Who knew that Burien had this little gem?
I have been to Oliver’s Cupcakes a handful of times now and every visit has been entirely pleasant. It is a family run establishment and all of them are always so sweet and welcoming.
My favorite pre-​invented cupcake is hands down the matcha cupcake. The vanilla cake is moist, just sweet enough and the matcha frosting is to die for!
Definitely a place to bookmark.

I’m sitting here right now, a day after discovering it while on a walk. I am madly in love with This place and spreading the word! The cake part is moist and fluffy and delicious, the frosting is superb. You can really taste the passion that went in to making them. Prices are great and the staff are super friendly. GO CHECK IT OUT, NOW!

Best cupcakes EVER. Being able to customize to your liking is amazing. Can’t wait to go back!

I was pretty skeptical about high-​end cupcakes, but these are fantastic! I called and ordered some cupcakes for a party, and they answered promptly and were very courteous. The cupcakes were ready and on time. The carrot cake cupcake was smooth and just sweet enough and didn’t have nuts, which is hard to find. There are many varieties of chocolates from red velvet on down, and you just can’t go wrong. As I was leaving the shop, everyone, even the cooks, thanked me. Worth. Every. Penny.

I’m not a big into dessert and am always concerned about cupcakes being overly sweet. But these girls have the best cupcakes I’ve ever had! The Carrot Top is sheer perfection. The cream cheese icing is light and lovely. The ladies behind the counter are absolutely delightful as well.

Super friendly, staff who were as sweet as their desserts. I mean REALLY NICE family owned business. Cupcakes were delish! Inventive signature flavors like PB&J, which is vanilla cupcake with jelly filling and peanut butter frosting, yum! Also tried the Heath which was chocolate cake with chocolate Heath frosting, another winner! I got Salted Caramel also, however I shared it so I can’t vouch but it looked delish. I would say the cake is a slightly denser and moister cake than say, cupcake royal, which was my gold standard for cupcakes. Honestly, these were every bit as delicious and I never thought I’d say that. A SOLID cupcake choice not just for Burien but for the Seattle area. Next time I have a Cupcake Attach (yep that’s a thing,) I won’t have to drive so far for my medication :)

So excited to have this little cupcake shop in Burien.
I like the idea of being able to customize your cupcake. Pick the cake, frosting and toppings it’s about time someone did that!
Their cupcakes are light and moist, you can tell they are fresh. And the frosting is super fluffy, soft and not overly sweet. And the ration of frosting to cake is great.
The chocolate mint Oreo is my favorite! Next time I will be trying the Whatcha Matcha (Green Tea frosting).
They also have mini cupcakes.

Really cute tiny shop, easy to miss if you don’t slow down. The lady there was just opening shop and I walked in, but they have some good variety popular flavors, they also customize to your liking too. Love the atmosphere, its nice and inviting and I think it would be a great place to maybe do a event! they seem to really want to help with whatever you may request!

Friendly staff, great cupcakes, and very original concept. Cupcakes were very soft and moist. Can’t wait to return to try more flavors. Worth the trip from downtown Seattle to downtown Burien.

This is such a great addition to Burien! I love that their frosting has such a light, fluffy sweetness instead of the thick, sickly sweet that a lot of places have. Their cupcakes are definitely addictive! The chocolate mint and the peanut butter/​jelly ones are my favorite so far!

I stopped in the other day without seeing any reviews on Unilocal and decided that I needed to write one! I got married last year and did a lot of cupcake tasting at 3 – 4 places here within the Seattle area. I ended up getting married in Vegas anyways, but the baker who did my cupcakes there were better than the places I tried here. Oliver’s has the best I’ve tasted so far! I split the Reese’s Peanut butter and the Matcha cupcake with my husband The cake is moist, great texture, great shape. The frosting is not Sugary death, hard, or gritty. It is creamy, smooth, light texture but stacked! I like what Em B said about the place as well, I totally agree. Whatever they’re doing, keep doing it! I didn’t get to try and fruit flavored frosting though, I wonder if it has real fruit (like raspberry frosting) on top of a lemon cupcake would be to die for! Maybe a seasonal cupcake? ^_~

We have tried all the cupcake places and this is so far the best. It’s not too close to our house but we usually go here when I was on the way to the airport or hangout near South Center /​Southpark area. They have a lot of different flavors to choose from such as green tea or Irish cream with wine or rum. When was the last time you had cupcakes with green tea flavor??? It doesn’t exist anywhere else. Period!
Also the frosting is not too sweet and it’s very moderate. Well, considering the extreme case is when you get cupcakes in Safeway. THAT would send you straight to the hospital. But other cupcake places we visited, they don’t «tone down» the sugar that much either. I don’t get it. I want to eat 2 in a row. I simply just can’t because I would get sugar poisoning. But here, two, three or four when I’m hungry and a $ 1 coffee. That’s perfect to get me going for the rest of the afternoon.

Tried this on a whim and glad I did! The business definitely has a family feel to it, and to add to the feel, it is named after their Golden Retriever.
I had the Salted Caramel cupcake, and it was perfect — the cupcake itself was superbly delicious without being overpowered by a much too sweet frosting. The frosting itself was so light, it was similar to eating whipped cream.
The staff was very patient with my children and their multitude of decisions on WHAT to put on the cupcake (a very serious business…) and went above and beyond to ensure we were enjoying ourselves.
They offer a small eating area, quaint and cozy, but not big enough to host a large group more than 8.
We will definitely go back!

My wife and I had seen this business, prior to its opening, and were very excited to visit. Opening day my wife and her mom went to try out some of their cupcakes. She brought home an assortment of a half-​dozen. The cake is delicious — moist, flavorful, and tasty, just like a good cake should be. The frosting, though, leaves something to be desired. It’s, unfortunately, a little on the bland side. It seems like a whipped-​cream based frosting, and it’s creamy and has a great texture, but not a strong flavor. I dislike calling it bland, but it doesn’t have quite the flavor that I would like, and my wife agrees. She loves the build-​your-​own cupcake concept, and we want to revisit, but we hope that they work on their frosting recipe, perhaps by introducing some buttercream into the mix, and really bringing out the sweetness in the frosting. It doesn’t have to be sickly sweet, but it would benefit from a little bit of a sweet kick.
According to my wife, the staff were friendly and helpful, although I haven’t been into the shop first-​hand. I hope to visit them soon and give this place a second look.
