The Flying Cupcake — Restaurant in Indianapolis

My experience at the Mass Ave Flying Cupcake yesterday was so embarrassingly awful, it felt like a Saturday Night Live skit. Alas, it was very real. I went in to purchase a couple of cupcakes around 1pm on December 19th and was shocked to find the case nearly empty. There were two full trays of two of their standard flavors, and a couple of lone cupcakes off by themselves, and that was IT. There was a woman in front of me, and we were both looking over our slim options while the young woman behind the counter just stood there. No greeting, no filling the case, nothing...so I assumed what we saw was what we got. The other customer asked about a specific flavor and the employee said, "Yeah, I have it, but I can't put anything else out until I count it." I clarified that she did indeed have other flavors available to sell and she rolled her eyes and said, "Yeah, but I can't sell it until I count it." The other woman and I looked at each other and said, "Well...could you do that please? We'd like to see what else you have." The employee very obviously rolled her eyes and said, "I mean, I've just been really busy." At this point, I think any normal person would have seen that this young woman was not at all interested in selling us anything and walked out...but I am pregnant and was not going to leave there without a cupcake! Myself and the other customer looked at each other, shocked, again and said, "Um, we will wait if you could go ahead and do that please." The employee rolled her eyes again, let out a huge sigh, and said, "Alright." Then proceeded to slam trays around and sloppily fill the entire case with probably 6 or 7 flavors for about 5 minutes. Thankfully, she had exactly what I wanted, and I placed my order when she was done. I also asked her if she had a card for her manager. She said, and I quote, "Huh uh. Your total's $9.08." I asked her how I could speak to someone about my experience today and she said the only thing I could do would be to call the main number tomorrow, which would transfer me to the main office, and then I could be transferred to this store, and the manager might be in tomorrow. The whole experience was such a complete joke. 2 stars only because the cupcakes were very good. I certainly hope that someone of any importance reads this review, because I was genuinely embarrassed for your...

Awful. Husband and I stopped in around 3pm on a Saturday after strolling around downtown. When we walked in, we were not greeted or acknowledged, and there were only 2 other customers eating their cupcakes. Walked up to the counter, said hi to the girl behind the counter and she continued to look at us without speaking. I made my selection (gluten free lemon) and my husband made his. $10 for 2 cupcakes, I'll let that slide. We weren't thanked or anything, she just took our money, boxed them up and sent us on our way. We sat down to eat, and I only needed one bite to make up my mind. I've had some bad gluten free cupcakes, but this was the worst. The cake was dry, the icing tasted like plastic, and overall it left a funny taste in my mouth. My husbands experience was similar. He only finished half. Again, no thanks for stopping in, have a good day. Nothing. $10 wasted on poor service, poor selection, and...
