Jones Bros Cupcakes

So disappointed gave them one more try after a prior disappointing purchase. Purchased peanut butter cupcake, root beer cupcake, smores pop tart and maple bacon croissant donut. Is it me or did the cupcakes shrink but same price. The pop tart was dry and crumbled, donut was very grease it left my hands covered in oil and finally the cupcakes were dry. I could of made a better cupcake from a box. So disappointed.

Really pretty presentation but wasn’t a fan of my cupcakes both times I went. Too much frosting. BUT I had a sandwich and it was delicious. It would be helpful but I can’t remember the name.

I can only speak for the desserts/​cupcakes… I’ve had several. Every time the cupcakes were moist and the frosting is on point.

Cupcakes were not good. They tasted processed and store bought. We popped in late one night for a sweet treat. The look and feel in here is so awesome! Very modern and minimalist. Lots of sparkle. Goes well with the sprinkles. Well, there weren’t any sprinkles on the raspberry or chocolate cupcakes we got. But not even sprinkles would have helped these poor little guys. They tasted so blah. And they fell right apart. No thanks.

Cute place. simple layout and look. Cupcakes were hit and miss. One great, one so-​so. But the icing was great :)

I like Jones Bros as an occasional treat. They have some nice holiday cupcakes for occasions like Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day. My go to is the black and white, but I’ve never had a bad cupcake here. Service has always been friendly and attentive.

I picked up a dozen cupcakes for Val Day at the office. I was there at 7 am when they opened and the service was friendly and quick. I tried a couple flavors from the selection. I am not a cupcake aficionado but they just didn’t seem fresh. They tasted good but the cake was kind of dry.
I have been to the Café for lunch with the group. I had a Cobb Salad which was very good. I think I won’t be tempted for cupcakes anymore but will definitely come back to try the Café again.

The set up of the place is different and welcoming. The cupcakes are arranged in a really wonderful fashion just tingling your appetite to expand!
I am a muffin loving person so I can talk about the cakes which were great. I would love to have them a little softer/​spongy (but it’s my liking, taste was great)
The location was ironical since it was dash opposite to the gym!

The store itself was awesome, decorated well and looking bright & new. If you’re looking for dessert but don’t know what you want … this is a great place to venture. They have homemade ice cream (about 8 flavors), 12 or so various cupcakes that rotate daily, individual size cheesecakes, pastries, cookies & cakes.
You would think that being ‘Jones Bros Cupcakes’ … cupcakes would be their specialty, though. I did not find this to be the case. My buddies and I got 4 cupcakes to split, and we all had the same thoughts. Too much frosting (yes, that’s a real thing) and the actual cake portion was kind of dry & crumbly. When I’m forking over $ 3.50 per cupcake, I’m expecting quality. I just didn’t see that here, at least with this visit. I did try one of their individual cheese cakes, and it was delicious. However, I did think $ 5 or $ 6 for a small 3″ round serving was steep.

Didn’t entirely mean to end up here, but we stopped by Spirit World, and this was nearby, and I figured more cupcakes can never hurt anyone. (They can’t. Really)
Fantastic presentation on the cupcakes and the business itself. The cupcakes are all laid out in a clear, clean case with no touching and a lot of symmetry. They also sell non-​cupcake items as blended drinks, coffees, and lots of various pastries.
The restaurant itself is nice and roomy and clean. Tons of table seating. I’ve never seen so much table seating in a cupcake shop. Unless a game just got out in the stadium across the street, you should have no problem eating in if that’s what you want to do.
They’ve done a fantastic job with presenting the cupcakes in a way you’ll want to eat them. The frosting swirls are perfect, and the garnish on top is great too. They serve a single cupcake on a gigantic red plate, though, and that’s pretty hardcore overkill and makes the cupcakes look really small. A smaller dish would be appreciated next time. I also hate to think about all the extra effort that goes into washing a giant plate when a tea-​cup sized plate would do. (It looks like they use the giant red plates for food as well, but as many times as they sell only a cupcake, I’d love to see a cupcake-​only plate)
Cupcake was delicious. As-​in, holy-​crap-​is-​this-​delicious. I can’t recommend eating anything but the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. I can’t believe they nailed the flavor so perfectly. The frosting was super luscious and piled pretty high on it; amazing amount of frosting to the amount of cupcake. The cupcake flavoring itself was meh — but when you put it with the frosting, it’s perfect, so I recommend eating this one with a fork to get both bites at once.
I also decided to go all-​out and try the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough blender drink. Wouldn’t get that again. Not bad — just weird. Tastes more like an odd vanilla malted shake than a neat blended drink. Wasn’t so fond of that, but it wasn’t bad either. I did drink the whole thing, but I wouldn’t order it again.
Staff was okay. Seemed a bit distracted and not super customer-​focused, but they also weren’t bad. They quickly retrieved items and were friendly about it. They did their job well, but they didn’t seem particularly enthused or excited about it.
Would definitely come back here again. Like any place in this area, parking might be a bit of a pain because of the shopping district, but it would be worth finding parking for these treats.

Had the luck of having this café across from my office so was able to stop in multiple times. I had coffee (café au lait) on two occasions and it was excellent. There was also very little wait, yay efficiency in the a.m.
I tried a cupcake yesterday, vanilla caramel, and enjoyed it. The cake was good, loved the caramel flavored center surprise filling and the frosting was good too. It was a little too much frosting for my usual taste but I ate it all any way ;)
Today I stopped in for lunch and was surprised at the many options for salads, wraps and sandwiches. I went for half sandwich (turkey, provolone and avocado) and soup (chicken and dumplings). It came with a pickle and a mini cupcake– score. The mini cupcake is the perfect size and they had a number of flavors to choose from. I went with vanilla and, don’t think I am boring, it’s just my fave! The sandwich was good, warm and the bread was just chewy and crunchy enough. The soup was good too. I will definitely visit again when in town.

I’ve been here twice now, once just for a cupcake and once for lunch and a cupcake.
I’ve come to the conclusion that the cupcakes can be hit or miss. The Whopper is just vanilla cake with chocolate frosting — no malted flavor at all but very moist and good. The Chocolate looks like it’s going to be super decadent but in reality is a bit dry and lacking in chocolaty-​ness. (Maybe I should try some other flavors… You know, for review purposes.)
For lunch I ordered a trio with half Cuban sandwich, the Gouda Beer Cheese soup, and of course the mini cupcake that comes with it. The Cuban was decent — good bread but skimpy on the meat, cheese, and toppings. The Gouda Beer Cheese… well, I’ve discovered it’s next to impossible to find good beer cheese anything outside of Wisconsin, so with that in mind I’ll say this is pretty good.
So far, I think the cupcakes are overrated but I haven’t given up hope. I think I’ll still be back in for another lunch visit too and check out some of their other deli offerings.

3 stars for the cupcakes. A big ZERO stars for their cold, not even a hint of warmth waffle fries. Note: the waffle fry dipping sauce is tasty.
Do NOT. I repeat, do NOT bother with the bbq brisket sandwich and beans! Ew. Ew. Ew.
We ordered 2 sandwiches and could not force ourselves to finish them. They tasted old and was off on flavor and seasoning. The beans were burnt tasting. It took 2 pieces of gum to get rid of the nasty taste from our mouths. I paid good money but received a horrible quality meal in return. Horrible. I’ll just stick to the cupcakes if I dare return.

I’m sitting outside right now and I can’t help but wonder why this sweet and salty cupcake is making me belch. Shockingly, I spent four dollars on it and I still don’t have any justification for why. The cupcake to frosting ratio was atrocious. It was good BUT NOT THAT GOOD.
It’s kind of cold outside so that could be affecting my judgement but I don’t think so. Overall, I am rating 3 stars because my experience has been incredibly average.
I’m finished.

Cookie dough cupcake is absolutely amazing. I am glad we don’t live near here or I would gain 25lbs. Must try this place. Owner was very courteous and helped us out.

Recently stopped by here for a cupcake after dinner and we were not disappointed.
I didn’t feel incredibly guilty since we walked from our hotel to grab a cupcake (okay, the hotel was only a few blocks away, but I must have burned a few calories from the walk, right?), but it was totally worth the calories. I was with a work colleague and she got the Red Velvet cupcake and I got the Ice Cream Sundae cupcake and we split them so we could both try them. Both cupcakes were incredibly good — the cake was moist for both and the frosting was perfect. Now the frosting has always been my favorite part of cake, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, but there was actually too much frosting on each one (I know, I’m crazy for saying that). Other than that, they were perfect. Red Velvet has always been my favorite, but I think the Ice Cream Sundae cupcake slightly edged out the Red Velvet this time. It tasted like an ice cream sundae!
The service was great, and the store is much larger than it looks. They also have ice cream, cookies, cakes and pastries, so a really nice selection of everything.
Overall, I would highly recommend Jones Bros Cupcake, and there’s a good chance I’ll stop by again the next time I stay in Aksarben Village. I can see why they won Cupcakes Wars!

The people who own this place are evil :-)
Just kidding of course. But, wow, these folks really know how to ruin diets! Cupcakes, ice cream, pastries, yogurt, and more!
We were travelling to Lincoln and happened across Jones Brothers when we made a stop in Omaha. We liked it so much that we stopped on the way back too.
They have all kinds of incredible pastries to go along with the incredible cup cakes. I had their New York cheesecake. I’m putting on more weight just thinking back on how good it was.
They also have some incredible ice cream. The wife tried a flavor that was called bourbon butter pecan (or something like that) and she said it was phenomenal.
I’m more of a coffee snob and was really impressed by their Americano.
Finally, the folks who work here are super nice. That always makes a big difference.

This is a tough review to write. cupcakes. i had one it was pretty good. nothing fabulous but a good cupcake. I also had a scone and some coffee as I came in for breakfast. The coffee was blahhh, Reminds me of coffee that is served at a car repair shop. the scone was more like a cake. very wet, fell apart and overly sweet.
I was not a fan. everything looked good but the taste was not there

I love Jones Bros cupcakes! It’s a nice place to stop by in between classes. Aksarben is a hit or miss place, but this little café is delicious!
The cupcakes, firstly, are really good. I always get the red velvet which is always moist and delicate. The frosting can sometimes be a little too much, but it’s easily fixable with a little scraping off. Only downfall is there used to be chocolate chips at the bottom of the red velvet, but it’s not made like that anymore unfortunately. I’ve literally tried each cupcake and I’ve never been unsatisfied. Innovative flavors along with traditional ones as well.
As for the café, they do serve up a pretty mean burger, believe it or not. The Swiss mushroom burger was super juicy and the waffle fries were crispy and seasoned nicely. Great place to stop in for a little café lunch and a cupcake for dessert!

While visiting a client in Omaha I had some time to kill so I decided to stop in to order some cupcakes to bring to my clients office. I had NO IDEA that Jones Brothers was a famous Cupcake Wars contender. Until I walked in and got overwhelmed by the variety of unique flavors.
Pumpkin with cream cheese frosting, apple cinnamon, salted caramel chocolate, peanut butter and chocolate, cookies and cream and of course stand byes like red velvet, vanilla bean.
The cupcakes were super moist and bursting with flavor. The counter help was super enthusiastic and helpful.
You can also get homemade donuts, cookies and delicious coffee.
