Sweet To Be : CRAVE Cupcakes - West U review

This was a cosy n' cute sweet to be! I'm so glad I made it back from out of town to snag a cupcake, cake pop and hot coffee?! Sweeeet! Literally. This location of CRAVE has been around forever and yet it was my first time steppin' in! Thanks for the opportunity! I've been to their other location before, which has also been around for some time. Remember the absolute obsession trend of cupcake shoppes opening up in the 2010's?? Yeah some of us are that old. One of the reasons why I don't visit CRAVE that often is because their cupcakes are too sweet for me. I do appreciate their variety, as well as how they serve coffee all day? Didn't know that until this recent visit. They're basically a coffee cupcakery shoppe that serves up pretty much any kind of caffeine. I had their toasted cinnamon coffee with a coconut cream cupcake and cake pop. I'm not sure what flavor the cake pop was? But it was okay. Too sweet, just like their cupcakes. What I do appreciate, is how their baked goods are so tender. Another spot not far from here makes their cupcakes too dry, like a brick, IYKYK, Y'all can spot that review from another time. Back to CRAVE: Each bite was tender n' soft, aromatic (thanks coconut!) n' creamy. Coffee was hot, fresh, and paired well with the sweet treat. It was 6ish pm and that did not stop me from having a cup of coffee with whole milk. Service was great, can't complain and the folks in the back were all smiles. They happily waved goodbye as we left, no crumb left behind, and bebe was with me as well. Warm vibrations and the wafting aroma of va va vanilla and butter. You're in for a real treat. They also have frosted cookies here and other sweet stuff. I'll try to revisit again in the near future, especially with knowing they have various types of coffee. Thanks Hou for giving us all this sweet opportunity to nosh on cupcakes. It's my birthday month and this was totally appropriate as well. Lol. Cheers n' toasting to decadent cupcakes this summer. Until next time!
