Treat Cupcake Bar

I’m always down for a good cupcake so when I see these kind of places I can’t say no even though I realize it’s probably going to end in disappointment; they’re so gimmicky. I was asked if I didn’t mind if my daughter’s cupcake was heated up because it was still frozen :/​. Should’ve left then. mine was extremely cold– the frosting broke off in chunks and the center was very cool. just a joke to pay $ 10 for two cupcakes that were just defrosted, one of which in a microwave. It’s yellow cake and buttercream frosting not rocket science so I can’t really comment as to how good it tasted. It wasn’t dry, it wasn’t moist. It was very dense. I was just annoyed that I was gagging on thick cold frosting and an extremely crumbly cupcake because it wasn’t room temperature. Go with Pinkberry next door.

I came in today around lunchtime and got a vegan oreo cupcake and a vanilla cupcake. Both were stale and tasted like they’d been baked a few days ago. At $ 4.25 each that’s quite a ripoff. Unfortunately we took them home to eat them, if I’d tasted them at the store I would have asked for a refund on the spot. They need to improve their quality control. I won’t be going back and I’d still like that refund…

Daughter and I were craving something sweet. She has peanut butter cupcake and loved. I had hazelnut Nutella. Just dry, hard, awful. Frosting was hard lump on top. Girl working there was so nice I didn’t have heart to say it was bad. I guess one out of 2 cupcakes being edible worth something. Positive note. clean and staff pleasant!

My sweet tooth is as bad as anyone you’ll ever meet, but these cupcakes did not impress me and I didn’t even finish it, and I would eat a good dessert out of a trash can. These I would not eat if they were free, I’m sorry to say.
I got the Hazelnutty, I think it was called. The frosting was downright hard, pretty much solid. It came off in one piece when eating it, which was not to my liking at all. Nutella and hazelnut are generally creamy and a bit airy, but for four dollars I was not impressed at all. I will definitely not be going back here.
I wish cupcake city in Newtonville hadn’t closed, those were the best cupcakes I have ever had and they were a dollar less each!

Very good cupcake place in The Street in Chestnut Hill — my husband and I always make a point to stop here when we’re in the shopping center. You can choose from their selected fancy flavors or build your own combination of cake, icing, and toppings — I recommend getting one of their signature creations. Took off one star because it’s a little pricey, the service is hit-​or-​miss, and the cake was a little dry last time we stopped in, but it’s still a great cupcake place overall.

I stopped in on a recent Saturday with a friend while shopping at Pottery Barn. My cupcake was only ‘ok’, a little dry. My friend thought her icing was too sweet, but liked it overall.
My coffee was perfect though and I had excellent customer service from a young man named Nick. What a pleasure he was!

Always a sucker for a cupcake shop, we’ve stopped in a few times but offerings didn’t entice us enough. After a yummy lunch at the Cottage yesterday, we gave it another shot.
Hubby is a fan of anything lemon and chose a lemon offering with a sugared top and creamy lemon frosting while I had the chocolate raspberry. While it wasn’t the best cupcake we’ve ever had, they were quite tasty and hit the spot. I thought a little pricey but decent sized without being too much.

Wow, this is crazy off the charts. I can get a custom cupcake even dairy and gluten free. With tons of options for toppings! I got a pre made gluten free chocolate cupcake with shredded coconut and dairy free chocolate sauce topping, incredible!

Got a vegan cupcake here and it tasted pretty good. It was moist and the frosting was fluffy. The online menu said it cost a lot more than at the store, which I am confused about.
They freeze the cupcakes and then put them in display case, so they technically aren’t super «fresh», but it doesn’t affect the flavor. I really appreciate that they have vegan and gluten free options.
They don’t have a calorie count for the cupcakes, but I could only eat a quarter to half a cupcake in one sitting. I wish it weren’t as expensive!

My 9 y/​o wanted to stop here to get a Lemon Drop cupcake after our dinner at Shake Shake. Unfortunately, they didn’t have it that evening but she decided on a S’Mores cupcake and Funky Chunky Oreo cupcake. This is our first visit to the Chestnut Hill location. We like it better than the Needham location. A plus is that the worker was much nicer.

The cupcakes were attractive and well presented but it was all downhill from there. I got a Nutella chocolate. The fudge frosting did not have much flavor and the cake was really dry and just crumbled apart as I tried to eat it. Very disappointing.

We stopped in Treat Cupcake Bar after dinner at Shake Shack. Super cute little cupcakery, but it was too cold to stay and eat. The air conditioning was blasting. We grabbed our cupcakes to go and fled before we turned into popsicles. The vanilla cupcake with sprinkles had a nice cake to sprinkle ratio.

Followed a late lunch and walking along The Street, we stumbled onto this delightful venue. The latte was surprisingly good and the red velvet cupcake a wonderful compliment. The service was also excellent. Highly recommend stopping by this place for a respite for those weary feet and delectable «treats.»

I ordered a birthday cake for my daughter’s 13^th birthday. I normally make her cakes, but it was a busy weekend with lots of guests coming in. My daughter is allergic to gluten, egg, dairy and soy among other things. Having this many allergies means that we often settle for food that is almost what it should be, but not quite. The cake seemed pricey upon ordering it, but I just did not have the time to make it. My husband picked up the cake and when he brought it home and we saw it, it was unbelievable. I have NEVER seen such a GORGEOUS cake!!! The frosting was really beautifully sparkly and the flowers were AMAZING. Okay, so it looked really really pretty– but how would it taste? SCRUMPTIOUS!!! It was so good!!! We had a crowd of 30 and we still had (thankfully) a little cake left over. Wow! It was worth every penny and more– thank you so much!

Love this place! Dairy free and gluten free cupcake options! They always run out of Red Velvet!

I love the gluten-​free options here! My favorite is the Caramel Delight, but the Red Velvet and Lemon Drop are also high on my list of favorites. I’ve never had the regular cupcakes due to my gluten allergy, but I’ve bought them for my boyfriend who seems to like them, particularly Peanut Butter Overload. A little expensive, but the size makes up for it.

Unoriginal. Very much like Crumbs.

I got three cupcakes here and had a taste of all three. I really wanted to like them but really didn’t. We got the Cookies ‘n Cream, Vanilla, and Lemon. My favorite was probably the lemon, but all of the cupcakes were really dry and the edges were hard. For all the calories and money spent (about $ 3.75 per cupcake, but some went up to $ 5.00), it really wasn’t worth it at all. The only thing they had going for them was the size, which is larger than some other cupcake places.
The service was also not very friendly. We were the only ones in there and we pretty much just got stared at when we approached the counter. No hello or anything. The shop itself is really cute, though.
I definitely won’t be rushing back here anytime soon.

Treat is on the backside of The Street at Chestnut Hill, but it is worth the find. The cupcakes are moist, the frosting is delicious and they have many gluten/​dairy/​egg/​soy free options. I went with a friend who has severe dairy + egg allergies and he was so excited to find something he could eat.
The only reason I couldn’t give Treat 5 stars is the price – $ 3.75 for one cupcake is a little steep. But once in a while is okay.

Cupcakes should never be disappointing… and yet…
Treat Cupcake Bar is located on the Street in Chestnut Hill. Treat offers a variety of pre-​made cupcakes in addition to the option to design your own cupcake.
The variety of pre-​made cupcakes is pretty good but by no means expanse. I have been to cupcake shops in NYC in which the cupcake selection is staggering. At Treat, the selection is rather basic and not very innovative. They have the usual staples such as a carrot cake cupcake, red velvet cupcake, Boston cream pie cupcake, etc. I tried the carrot cake cupcake which was moist and pretty good. The frosting was overly sweet though. The Boston cream pie cupcake was ok. The cake was not as moist and the filling was skimpy and not very creamy.
Although there are plenty of toppings to select for building your cupcake, the cake selection and fillings are limited. They didn’t even have a caramel filling!
Overall, Treat Cupcake Bar is cool to look at but not really that fine from a eating standpoint. My wife and I visit the Street fairly regularly and have not been back to Treat. We go next door to Pinkberry instead, when we want a treat.
