The Cupcakerie Café & Frosé — Restaurant in Morgantown

So, here I was, on a mission to find the perfect sweet birthday bash bites for my hubby’s big 40th. I suddenly remembered a neighbor mentioning a place to me last year-enter The Cupcakerie, a.k.a. Cupcake Wonderland! Their website was like a treasure chest, brimming with cupcakes of every stripe and swirl. Imagine a flavor, and bam, they had it, plus more you hadn’t thought of!

A week before the celebration, I placed an order for an assortment of both regular and mini-sized cupcakes, choosing flavors that spanned from the adventurous to the classic: P’NUTTY FOR CHOCOLATE, SWEET & SALTY, CHOCOLATE CARAMEL KISSES, MOUNTAIN MAMA, and COOKIES ‘N CREAM.

Let me tell you, biting into these cupcakes was like stepping into a flavor festival. After having one you found yourself having this inner battle on whether you should or should not go back for more. The P’Nutty for Chocolate? A crowd-pleaser with a secret Reese’s stash that had everyone buzzing. And my husbands favorite is Reese’s so I already knew he would like them. However he was ready to fight wars over them. The Sweet and Salty was like the beach—sunshine and waves in cupcake form. And MOUNTAIN MAMA? A hike through deliciousness with a surprise apple butter campsite in the middle.

But wait, thats not all. The cake was so moist, it was like biting into a cloud (if clouds were edible and tasted like heaven). And the frosting? Not the usual sugar shock that I’ve been known to just push off because it’s overbearing. I’m talking just-right sweetness that danced perfectly with the cake. That peanut butter icing on the P’Nutty was like floating on a fluffy cloud of peanut butter yum.

If you’re reading this with your mouth watering but on the fence about ordering from The Cupcakerie, hop off and just order. Seriously, these cupcakes stole the show at the party which I am really glad too because I’m trying to stay in shape for an upcoming cruise, and I just cannot take the temptation of left over cupcakes. Not these ones.

It’s rare for me to leave reviews about something, let alone at 1 am, but here I am, typing away because these cupcakes deserve it. They’re not just treats; they’re little bundles of joy that spark conversations and smiles. So, whether it’s a big bash or a quiet night in, let The Cupcakerie’s magic turn your moments into memories. Although my figure may not like it, I am already looking forward to next month’s cupcake and beer festival so I can dive into their other flavors. Keep that cupcake magic...

I was hesitant to even leave a review because I ate brunch here prior to the rebrand and had a great experience. However, the brunch I had yesterday was the worst dining experience I have ever had in my life.

Five of us were sat at our table at 10:30AM with menus. The waitress did not return to our table until 11:10AM. We placed our drink and food orders and were told we could not get multiple things that we wanted from the menu because they did not have items in stock. (for example we could not order 80% of the alcoholic beverages listed because they did not have vodka).

By 11:30AM we still had not gotten the drinks we ordered or even water while some tables were seated with a water pitcher. I went up to the register and asked for a water pitcher and was told "they were all being used." Whenever I explained that we had been there for an hour and had not received water yet the waitress said well I guess I can fill up your glasses. She never did. We had to take a water pitcher off of another table when people left. My friends asked to cancel their drink orders and the waitress brought them anyway around 11:45AM and we were told they would be discounted, they were not.

At 12:10PM the food arrived for 3/5 of us. The other 2 people in our party did not receive their food for another 5-10 minutes. I could maybe slightly understand if we had complicated meals. We ordered a chicken salad sandwich, a salad, another sandwich, one person in our party ordered just a side of fruit and bacon. We never received an update on our food, an apology for the wait or any actual service.

I cannot even comment on who our waitress was because she never spoke to us.

It is such a shame because it has the potential to be a great spot for Morgantown but after what happened yesterday I will...

Very cute concept, nice ambiance and great drinks. The food however is abysmal. Which is sad because this is supposed to be a cafe and not a bar. The chef sent out two homemade biscuits that looked like a kid had messed up making small pancakes. I was truly shocked that a place that seemed so nice, actually had the audacity to service biscuits like that, gravy which you could taste the raw flour in and eggs benedict with solid yolk. All for a pretty high price for a morgantown cafe! I want to emphasize that the food was so bad that if I made something like that, I would be too embarrassed to let anyone eat it, let alone sell it to someone. I wish I took photos of the biscuits but the sad looking eggs is all I got.

I really wanted to like this place given the ambiance and drinks. I have never been this disappointed at a restaurant. They really need to either hire a chef or send whoever is working in the kitchen to culinary school. Halfway decent food would make this a place I would visit again. But I’m not going back to a place where the food seemed to be made by someone pretending to play chef. I don’t normally write google reviews, especially not bad ones. I just genuinely want this place to do better so I can have tasty frosés with something to eat for brunch. Hope...
