Beautiful variety of cupcakes.
I definitely rate the taste and the hospitality as 5 Star.
Always worth the trip to get cupcakes with friends and family. The cupcakes are delicious and there are options for all my friends even those who are allergic to gluten or who are vegan. I love them all but my favorite is the lemon drop cupcake but a lot of my friends like the Ron Bennington as well. The cupcakes are not dry which is great!
I used them for my wedding and was glad I chose them. The cupcakes were simple, beautiful, and delicious. They will do cakes for special occasions too, and they were delightful to work with. In general I prefer their regular Molly cupcakes over their filler, but that’s personal preference. Photos by Emily Jia Photography
I have visited here twice so far and both times I have loved the vegan cupcakes and vegan frosting! Service is very friendly and efficient. The decor is cute. I'm looking forward to future visits.
Cupcakes are excellent, we especially enjoyed the filled cupcakes. They have vegan options in vanilla and chocolate, which my daughter and her boyfriend both enjoyed. Definitely worth the stop!
Expensive, yummy specialty cupcakes. So much better than those at Magnolia Bakery. Molly's also serves scones, muffins and a few other sweets. Tea, coffee, cocoa available. You can eat there or take out. Creme brulee cupcake is my favorite.
Great cupcakes! They really excel with both quality and variety. I could come here every day and never be sick of eating these cupcakes. The location is homely and the staff are friendly.
The cupcakes here are always fresh and we could always find a lot of options to choose from. People at the counter are nice and serve with a smile.
This is my decadent escape. Do you know they make cakes, too? I took in a picture and they made what I wanted! It was so moist and lovely. You'll want a big piece!
Great stuff! For the Cookie Monster, there is cookie dough inside the cupcake, which is soft (Not dense!) sweet + moist, but the icing is not as sweet and more creamy + fluffy, so the flavors balances out. Not overpriced like Sprinkles cupcakes, so I would come back to try more. There are board games available to play if you eat in.
Absolutely delicious cupcakes! With so many varieties to choose from, it's a pure delight. A must visit if you're around downtown Iowa city!
I was never a cupcake lover. Then I had Molly's and I found the love. My favorites are the Strawberry Shortcake, Mixed Berry, and Peach Cobbler. I go there way to often!
Try the creme brulee cupcake, it's the best. The key lime cupcake is the 2nd best. I wish they would open a branch in Cedar Rapids!
Molly's Cupcakes has the vibe you want in a cupcake shop, it's homey. The accommodating employee did everything with a smile which makes the whole experience more enjoyable. The homemade ice cream was superb; it was almost as good as the noteworthy mini cupcake. 10/10. (Also, the bar doesn't have bar stools, they have swings)
My wife loves Molly's. She prefers the Creme Brulee and the Chocolate Mousse. Truth be told, the Mousse is more-affectionately dubbed "Death by Chocolate." If you love pastries and love local shops, then why not have both?
Good cupcakes. Great selection. Both vegan and gluten free options!
Cupcakes are amazing. And my friend got their wedding cake from here too and it was dangerous how delicious it was.
Wow! Molly's provided cheesecakes for our wedding they were AMAZING. Great desserts, great customer service!
Never had a bad cupcake here. They're always moist and tasty. Being able to build your own is great too!
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a beautiful day for a cupcake, won't you be mine, won't you be mine. If Mr. Rogers were here, this is where he would get his cupcakes!
You walk into Molly's and immediately you're greeted by both the smell of love and some large industrial-esk swings that hang from the ceiling. There's not a ton of seating, but the crowd tends to move in and out pretty quickly so all's well.
The counter cabinets boast more than a dozen varieties of cupcakes, 7 of which we've tried, all of which were delicious. Each one combines the ecclectic with the familiar, creating a beautiful melding of flavors that blissfully dance on your tongue. Seriously though, they're delicious!
The favorites thus far have been the cookie dough (a lovely small cookie up top and dough inside), the cookies and cream and the game day (Hawkeye colors with cholocate in the middle). A six pack runs about $13 and they're totally worth it. They come in mini's or big kid size, all of which are satisfying.
A welcome addition to the area and one of those places you won't go every day, but totally could, because cupcakes are like a hug from your grandma - something everyone needs now and then, and something you can always use more of!
