    Some of the best cupcakes in the city (cake: flavorful + moist, frosting: not-too-sweet.) Peanut butter fans, have the signature Sweet Revenge cupcake. Carrot cupcake also v. good.

    At night this is a good after dinner or date spot. Cupcakes are big enough for two.

    I can't believe I'm saying this, but I wish the cupcake (the Dirty, chocolate on chocolate) was half the size, or else had more going on.

    I lost my sweet tooth then found it again at Sweet Revenge. Love the moist cake and sweet/saltiness of their red velvet and PB/chocolate cupcakes.

    If you're w/ a friend it's actually a better deal to get the $15 carafe of sangria plus a cupcake (better than the 4sq deal).

    The sweetest coupling: sugar and alcohol! Try the Swedish pear cider.

    The Dirty Cupcake with Pear cider is a good combo, but it's fulsome and might make you feel ill.

    Date #1, Meghan: they were out of many cupcakes, but the Jamaican Curry savory cake was weird, yet pretty tasty. The sangria was a plus as well. Read more

    some of the best cupcakes on carmine street. but once you leave carmine then you can probably get good dessert and much faster. also, i didn't really think they were cupcakes. go somewhere else.

    When unsure if what treat to order, you can't go wrong ordering the one named after the shop... for peanut butter lovers only.

    Come hungry and be sure to order the Casablanca cupcake (cardamom & pistachio cake and rosewater frosting). Then, bring one home.
