Flirty Cupcakes Dessert Garage

I have been a fan for over a year now. What caused to write a review was the awesome service that came with the cupcakes.
I have tried a variety of flavors and each one has been awesome. Compared to other cupcake shops, this one takes the cake (lol). I loved it and now my office loves Flirty too!

BEWARE!!! They will double charge you under two different names and for slightly different amounts to avoid fraud prevention.
The cupcakes are good enough, but they are a logistical nightmare to work with and appear to be experts in fraudulent charges. Long story short, they double charged slightly different amounts from two different square accounts, so the credit card company wouldn’t catch it automatically. When confronted, they asked for our credit card number over the phone, which obviously we don’t trust them at this point!!!
Full Description of Experience:
We pre-​ordered a dozen cupcakes for a birthday party and they were happy to take the order and charge us. The only issue is that when I went to pick them up, they insisted they didn’t charge us and made me swipe. I was in a rush, so I took their word for it.
Lo and behold, here we are a few weeks later and both charges appear on the account. I only noticed it because my wife is meticulous with our finances and caught it.
The one charge that they asked for when we placed the order came from
TIFFANY KURTZ
1101 W LAKE ST STE 303
CHICAGO
IL
60 607
The other charge they insisted I swiped when I picked up came from
CHRIS SEWALL
1030 W TAYLOR ST
CHICAGO
IL
60 607
They charged us less than a dollar difference between the two as well, so it wasn’t easy to catch. One was for $ 43.15 and the other was for $ 42.61.
When confronted they apologized and then asked for the entire credit card number instead of just the last 4 or 5 digits. Really shady stuff. I had to waste almost an hour with my credit card company’s fraud prevention department to finally get it resolved. Even then it’ll take up to a month.
TAKE AWAY POINTS
Their cupcakes are ok if you’re in the neighborhood, but definitely not worth the headache of having to check your credit card statement for purposefully difficult to detect fraudulent double charges. I guess if you like their cupcakes enough to pay twice for them, then continue to go here. If you don’t feel comfortable with these people having your credit card information because who knows what else they’re up to, avoid this place.

I dont usually visit a lot of desert places, nor do i go to a lot of bakerys.
But i compare these cupcakes to those of sprinkles but god do these have magic.
Their cupcakes are sweet moist and always have the most delicate punch of chocolaty goodness
They keep it fresh usually see them baking stocking up late night so they can have fresh cupcakes the next day
Amazing.

Average cupcakes, very dry and dense. The frosting tastes completely artificial, and the cupcakes are comparable to the kind you can purchase in a six pack at Target. They’re not the best, but they’re also not the worst. I think they get hyped up because the décor and environment is very cute and home-​y, I will commend them for that.

Urban cupcake shop. I ordered the turtle cupcake with cream cheese frosting and it was very sweet and rich. Definitely a place you go if you want a heavy dessert. The staff were extremely enthusiastic and caring. There is not a ton of seating, but the atmosphere is cozy and quaint. Definitely would go back to try their coffee!

I really like this place. There’s no other cupcake place like this. I’ve tried Molly’s Cupcakes, Magnolia Bakery, and Sprinkles, but they aren’t comparable. The frosting is melt in your mouth, and flavorful. It’s not like the artificially sweetened, unflavorful, colorful frosting that you usually taste on cupcakes. I like the For the Love of Nutella one, for all the Nutella lovers, the Strawberry Shortcake one, and the Pink Lemonade ones. Sooo good!

Their bacon pancake cupcake was SO good. Parking can be tough to find, but totally worth it. The employees were incredibly nice as well!

I’ve been looking for a cupcake shop near home or school for I don’t know how long… I’m so happy that I found this place on Unilocal they have a very diverse selection of cupcakes. The stores employees acknowledged me as soon as I walked in asking if I had any questions they were very polite. I’m surprised with such good cupcakes they weren’t jam packed like some of the other cupcake shops I’ve been to such as Sprinkles (btw don’t taste as good as Flirty’s). Now to the good stuff I had the Turtle and iHop cupcakes. These cupcakes looked amazing and had fun names which made you interested in eating them! It was really hard to choose only 2 flavors because they had so many flavors that I’m not used to seeing with originality. They’re cupcakes were full of flavor and extremely moist! You will not be disappointed in this place also I high to recommend this place. If I had to describe this place in one word it would be DELICIOUS! I’m going to become a regular customer :)

Great place, cupcakes are the best here so I have heard. Lol. They are filled with hidden center surprise that blew me away.
The ambiance reminds me of a kitchen that reminiscing a of a rustic, vintage, old style grandma’s.
The menu is very straight forward, simple choices. With a amazing cup of joe that works perfect with any cupcake.

I had these cupcakes for the first time when my sister bought me 6 different flavors. She was raving about how great these cupcakes are. I trusted her because she doesn’t like cupcakes that much, but if she raves about it, it must be really good.
Maybe I was expecting too much since I heard many good things about these lil cupcakes. I didn’t find it that good. The one that I think is okay would be the lemon one. All in all, when I found out that each cost about $ 3 – 4 I don’t think it’s worth it, not at all. I rather buy the little cakes from Artopolis, which taste a lot better for about the same price.

One of my the most favorite cup cake places in Chicago. You must try the plan vanilla and the cheesecake cupcake. Just too good

Fact: you cannot be sad while eating a cupcake.
UIC is the source of most of (if not all) of the sadness in my life… and when that sadness gets really bad, I take a stroll over to the place where sorrow goes to die: Flirty Girl Cupcakes. The people that work there are always friendly and kind, the cupcakes are delicious, and there’s usually a pretty solid variety. Are the prices a little steep for a relatively small cupcake? Yes, but sometimes you just gotta go for it anyhow. Today I opted for the Oreo cupcake and was not disappointed. That buttercream frosting is something magical.
I wouldn’t put this place on the same level as some of my favorite cupcake places in the city, but it’s still good enough to stop at a few times a semester. There are almost always open tables if you’re looking for a nice, quieter place to study. And seriously, this places is the perfect cure for a bad day of class. So treat yo self.

Good cupcakes! Not top tier like Molly’s, Sweet Mandy B’s or Sprinklz but just below them. Cake was a lot thicker/​heavier than other cupcakes I’ve tried. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, just different. Nice variety also. Would definitely go back!

There was a major hiccup with my order. I still don’t know what happened. But what I do know is that Flirty Cupcakes extended the best customer ever and corrected the issue. My order was for my best friend’s 40^th birthday party… and she’s 7 months pregnant… so I needed this to be right. Lol! Thank you to FC for some of the most delicious cupcakes ever (everyone at the party loved them, especially the cookie dough and red velvet cupcakes) and for also owning up to the error and still delivering in a big way. Thank you a million times!

This place hit the spot, after trying a few over the years from the truck I was in the need for a sweet treat and ended up at the dessert garage, so glad I did. Although I should have stuck with just one I doubled up and went with both the cookie dough and peanut butter chocolate. Both were great, I loved the chocolate ganache on the cookie dough cake, the cookie dough it self was a little on the dry side and a bit too sugary but delicious nonetheless. The peanut butter was right on, super «m» word, you know the one and balanced. I lived the shop, cute and kitchy.

I went with my boyfriend because we were looking for a closer alternative to Molly’s. Inside, the place was spacious and had cute seating chairs. We ordered a strawberry shortcake, chocolate, s’more, and red velvet. I stuck my fork in the strawberry one and it was so delicious, moist and just right. Then, I went straight for the red velvet. To my disappointment, the cupcake was dry. I went to sample the last two an they were also dry. The cupcakes were cute and flirty but left you hanging.

I love this place! Their earl grey tea gave me the caffeine kick I needed to get through my semester. All of the employees here are SO amazing and kind! I love their cupcakes too, especially the Red Velvet and the Cookie Dough! If you’re in the mood for something different, they also have delicious brownies, cookies, home made pop tarts, and many other treats!
It’s also a great place if you need somewhere to chill out or study. It has a nice, calm ambience with comfy seating. There is always relaxing music on their speaker.
Amazing spot!

OMG strawberry shortcake cupcake… was amazing! I contemplated on being a piggy and buying a few to take home… not to share… but just for me. But I didn’t. Booo. I must have another one soon!
Ugh I hate that it is hard to find parking around the area though!

Cute little café
Not a garage at all.
Greeted by a cute girl with big curly hair. Note to business owners: hire nothing but cute black girls with big naturally curly hair. Its good for business. She made sure to tell me which cakes needed to be refrigerated if not eaten right away as well as the ingredients.
Yum! Ive had two and ¹⁄₃ of a cupcake from this place. All three were good. For myself, I got the chocolate turtle cupcake with cream cheeses frosting. Its decorated with pecans and caramel. Very good. My favorite is the strawberry cupcake because its topped with homemade whipped cream and is filled with homemade strawberry jam. The cake itself isnt too sweet and everything tastes perfect. I got my mother the pineapple cupcake which I only tasted. She loved it. Toasted coconut on top. also not super sweet. I will definately be back once it gets warmer to get another strawberry cupcake and try the drinks and ice cream.
Paid with my debit card and signed on an ipad with my finger. Cupcakes in a brown paper bag. Gone.

Hubs and I saw on their Twitter account that they had pies for sale, and we were instantly like, «Say whaaaa?! They got pie there?!»
So we rode our bikes over and sidled up to their cute little space. The pies were small, about six inches in diameter, and, not thinking, we said we’d like two and some coffee. Well, we probably could’ve split one of these guys and been fine, but that didn’t stop us from eating all of their berry-​filled, tart but sweet, flaky goodness.
The shop was a little quiet… a little too quiet. Like in a way where you look at each other and mouth, «It’s sooo quiet in here.» Maybe could’ve used some louder background music. The shabby-​chic interior is inviting and would be a good place to bring a book or computer and hang out for a bit.
We enjoyed our time there and thought the pie was good. We’ll be back for some more treats.
