“ Wow... I did not realize they were this good! Tried the peanut butter milk chocolate ganache and the sweet chocolate cupcake. Talk about decadent... Perfect indulgent for Valentine's Day or I daresay, everyday....jk not a good idea haha. Get these away from me!! So good!! ”
“ They have a great selection of different cupcakes in mini and regular size. I like the chocolate with the white frosting the best and there are 2 kinds, chocolate with coconut frosting or chocolate tuxedo which has white jimmy sprinkles. Their lemon cupcake is unique as in addition to lemon frosting it has lemon filling and they are the only place that I know of that has a s'mores cupcake. ”
“ Cute and delicious cupcake shop near Chestnut St in SF. The friendly server behind the counter boxed up my cupcakes for me. I tried red velvet, chocolate velvet, tuxedo, and a s'mores cupcake. In order from my favorite to least favorite is chocolate velvet, s'mores, tuxedo then red velvet. The frosting was the best part of all of these cupcakes, and I am typically the type to wipe frosting off with a napkin to only eat the cake. The frosting was a great texture, consistency and flavor. The red velvet cupcake I had was slightly dry and crumbly, but the other cakes were moist and tasted great. I will be back next time I'm working in the area and looking for a sweet treat! ”
“ Absolutely amazing cupcakes! A little pricey but worth it. The service was also great!! Highlights: lemon cupcake and coconut cupcakes The buttercream frosting is absolutely delicious!! Very smooth and not overly sweet. The cake itself is very moist with the perfect density. Will definitely be coming back! ”
“ Each time we celebrate a birthday at my store, this is our go-to! The team is attentive, prompt and helpful. ”
“ Love their cupcakes, especially the vanilla! Can't go wrong with Kara's for special occasions or even just a lil pick me up. These are light, fluffy, moist, less dense some other cupcake options around. ”
“ It's been years since I've hit up Kara's. A decade ago, when my brother was visiting, he was obsessed with Cupcake Wars and cupcakes were his agenda on that particular visit, so naturally Kara's was at the top of his list. This visit was to treat my friend to a Birthday box of cupcakes. Service was friendly enough. I will say that over the years and perhaps just post pandemic, this spot has lost its luster somehow. It seemed muted and dated and just not as inviting as I remember. I'm not sure how to pinpoint this feeling. The cupcakes were DIVINE, of course. I had a Tuxedo and a seasonal special Organic Strawberry Cream. ”
