CUPCAKE, Friedrichshain, Berlin

HEY CUPCAKE !!!

Im a bit shocked by the bad review & rating below.
Ive only ever found cupcake to be delightful and have had nothing but great experiences. Ive even formed friendships with some of the employees.
They have a chill family vibe.
One time they stayed open longer when I called in a panic to get a present for a friends birthday (and yeah, they even decorated it for me with last minute notice !)
All this talk is making me hungry. Think I will pop down to Cupcake.

See you guys in a minute ;)

I used to go here when I was craving American-style cupcakes, even if the frosting and sometimes the cake itself can be too sweet. My favorite was the King (with chocolate cake and peanut butter frosting).
But today was my last visit to Cupcake. I have never received such horrible service anywhere in Berlin. First, I asked for a chocolate peanut butter cupcake. We’re out, the woman said. I asked for another flavor. She tossed her hair and didn’t say anything. Then I was looking right at the last piece of apple pie in the case and asked her for it – she looked right at it and refused to sell it to me.
I really don’t understand her attitude, her snobbery, and her apparent wish not to sell me anything in her store.
No cupcake is worth such treatment – and these certainly aren’t good enough to suffer over.

Lovely decorated, delicious cupcakes. Nice and very friendly staff. Really advisable.

Yummy-Yummy-Yummy!!!!!

Who likes cupcakes? I like cupcakes. Yummy yummy in my tummy.

this guy is our neighbour, he makes the cupcakes himself as real American-style Cupcakes.
many best success wishes for him in his business.

I went to "Cupcake" a few weeks ago cause I found out they got glutenfree Cupcakes!
Usually you have to order them but as I was around the corner ayway I just walked in and asked them if they got some by any chance.
And: They did! It felt like heaven!
I had a chocolate/raspberry one and it was delicious but also VERY sweet. I guess it's supposed to be that sweet, if I only would have known before I put all that sugar into my Latte Macchiato ;)!
I thought it's more like cream cheese frosting with less sugar but oh well. Felt a bit sick afterwards but also happy!
Thank you guys (staff is awesome by the way), I'll be back for sure!

This place is definitely cute, and the way the cupcakes are laid just makes you want to buy them all!

It is a little pricy given that the ingredients are exported from the US, but I suppose this is what make them all the more authentic:) In any case, they taste great.

However, I think for any North American familiar with Betty Crocker cake mixes and icing, it will not blow you away...

...but still, it is worth the visit.

i thought i knew what a good cupcake was til i visited Cupcake. i was wrong. this place is nothing short of magical and i look forward to going back each time i visit berlin. unmissable!

who cares about negative comments from german people? absurd
wirklich geile cupcakes! perfekte teig, perfekte (und manchmal unglaublich) süße creme! maybe they're too big for me, though; it's like a whole mittagessen!
oh, and great cheesecake too!

Located in the Friedrichshain district of former East-Berlin, near the Boxhagener Platz, Cupcake is a joy to stumble upon.

The premises are small and although the choice is somewhat limited, the name implies this so it is exactly what you expect. The cakes themselves are tasty and the German/American staff are friendly and make you feel welcome.

Take a girl here and she'll no doubt find it super cute and enjoy it a hundred thousand times more than you, otherwise, if your on your own, slip in and get a cupcake to take away (maybe a girl will catch you and find that cute!).

No trip to Berlin is complete without a trip to Cupcake! My fav cupcake shop ever :)

My place to be!!
You crave a cupcake? - You might have to face a big problem: It's decision time!!! I always have a hard time deciding when the variety offered is so overwhelming. This happened to me again at "CUPCAKE". First I had to decide if I should have a name-giving cupcake or a pie, slice of cake, etc.
And: Finally my eyes wandered back to the cute cupcakes. I love icing!!!
I chose a chcolate one with a marvelous green colored icing incl. a rasberry on top. YUM! Enjoying a strong espresso at the side (which was loevly, too) I spend another hour (watching other people being unable to decide).
Can't wait to go there again :-)

A must-visit when in F-hain - delicious and elaborate cupcakes. We usually buy a whole selection to go when it's someone's birthday.

Next door to Meyman, so this is your obvious dessert stop after a halloumiteller, if your blood pressure can afford both that is.

Most popular on Sundays since the flee market at Boxhagener Platz is just a few steps away.

Huge. Moist. Delicious. Cupcakes.
It was reeeeally hard to choose, but on my inaugural visit to Cupcake, we selected one carrot cake and one Oreo cream.
I fuckin' love carrot cake. And this cupcake, with its creamy, copious cream cheese frosting, did not disappoint.
The Oreo cream was equally moist and creamy, though a bit plain. Next time, I want to try the mint.
Actually who am I kidding. I want to eat the whole store.

cupcake is the best ever!! I will be in berlin in october for 3 weeks and will visit cupcake everday! Cupcake is the next big thing. Yall dont miss out!!!

This will be my 1st review for Qype- that’s how impressive & inspiring Cupcake is! Super cute little cafè conveniently located 5 minutes from my flat in the über-cool (that’s the extent of meine Deutsch, by the way…) neighbourhood of Friedrichshain- but I’d travel much further if I had to to have one (or several) of their delectable, moist, succulent VEGAN cupcakes! They’re gorgeous, too. Vegans: Just ask to make sure the sugar crystal sprinkles of the day on top are vegan, too or ask for one with a fruit decoration on top of the scrumptious vegan frosting! (When I’m really craving sweets, I could eat a few spoonfuls of their vegan frosting alone!) :)

Aside from the obvious food choice (cupcakes) they offer other amazingly delicious vegan fare like chocolate brownies with a ribbon of peanut butter throughout (:drool!:), apple pie (sometimes), banana bread (to die for!) and more savory snacks like bagels with vegan margarine and beans on toast. Oh, I nearly forgot to mention they make wonderful coffee drinks with soy milk as an option that does not have an extra charge!

Cute place, refreshing & tasty inexpensive vegan options (they have plenty of non-vegan items too, of course) and a friendly multi-kulti staff in a fun area. What’s not to like?! Get thee to Cupcake!!! :)

i’m guessing this place is owned by americans, because they had boxes of kraft macaroni & cheese on display (for sale?).

really cute place with nice design and a bright-mannered staff. i only had one kind of cupcake but it was quite good and very rich. i’m not really a cake/pastry guy but if i’m in the mood i will not hesitate to come back here again.

a welcome addition to the neighborhood.

IT’S BETTER THAN MAGNOLIA!!

The place were you feel at home, you know when you see the “friends” episodes and when they sit at there local coffee place , that’s how you feel beeing by cupcake.

there is tuns of choices, and the recepies are unique , you will never be disapointed, only maybe because you can not eat it all.

after eating and hanging out, there is just tuns to do, walking out the door.

frighteningly delicious cakes. Unfortunately for me they’re only a few minutes walk from my apartment and have become a regular mid-afternoon treat, followed by me staggering home in a sugar-haze. Good coffee also.
