“I visit Chicago every year or two and Molly's is always on my must visit list.”

I visit Chicago every year or two and Molly's is always on my must visit list! They have so many different flavors and they taste as good as they look! The staff is also friendly and it's fun to watch the dog park across the street while enjoying the cupcakes.

“This place deserves all the hype.”

This place deserves all the hype! We stopped in on a whim, and I’m so glad we did. The place has such a fun, welcoming vibe, and the smell of fresh-baked cupcakes hits you the second you walk through the door. I tried their signature filled cupcake, and wow… it was perfection. Super moist cake, frosting that’s sweet but not overpowering, and the filling tied everything together. The staff were friendly and patient while I debated which flavors to try (because honestly, they all looked amazing). Whether you’re treating yourself or grabbing something special for someone else, Molly’s is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back—next time with an even bigger sweet tooth! 🧁 ✨

“We came the week of Diwali and they had the best Rasmalai and warm Gulab jambu cupcake.”

We came the week of Diwali and they had the best Rasmalai and warm Gulab jambu cupcake. Amazing atmosphere and hospitality. Would go back again and again. Have also had some other flavors before. Everything has been spectacular.

“By far the best cupcake I have ever had.”

By far the best cupcake I have ever had. The moistest treat that had the perfect amount of sweetness. Wanted to make another stop before I left Chicago but I did not know how to smuggle them on my flight.

“Molly’s may be famous for their cupcakes, but their cakes are equally delicious.”

Molly’s may be famous for their cupcakes, but their cakes are equally delicious! What’s really cool is you can actually turn your favorite cupcake flavor into a full-sized cake. Molly’s cakes have become a true staple in our family, we’ve used them for so many milestones: our gender reveal, baby dedication, and my daughter’s birthdays. They’ve been a part of all our celebrations, and we wouldn’t have it any other way! Our ultimate favorite is their crème brûlée cake.. so good we always order it, whether from the Streeterville or Lincoln Park location. For the size and quality, the cakes are very reasonably priced and most importantly, they taste amazing. If you’re looking for a cake that’s just as memorable as your occasion, Molly’s never disappoints. See photos below for proof of how gorgeous (and yummy) their cakes are! 🎂🧁🍰

“Atmosphere was pretty chill.”

Atmosphere was pretty chill. Nice music playing, cool Air… nice vibe . Cupcakes was sooooo good. I didn’t want to eat all in one sitting . Didn’t get a chance to bite into my brownie but I’m pretty sure it’s delicious!

“Would do 10 stars if I could.”

Would do 10 stars if I could! The chocolate decadence cup cake was out of this world delicious! Truly the best cup cake EVER - and I’ve had many!! This little shop is decorated with school motif, including wood swings at the front counter, lockers in the back and school desks for tables. Plus a brilliant person made an incredible chemistry centric drawing on the huge chalk board!

Molly’s Cupcakes is one of the cutest bakeries I’ve seen in a long time, and bonus…they have a gluten-free option! Their space is very creative, with swings for barstools, old desktops for tables, and actual, real-live books to look at while you enjoy your treats. I would recommend it as a place to take your child, a place for a date, or a place to treat yourself, which is exactly what I did.

“This bakery caught my eye after having dinner next door.”

This bakery caught my eye after having dinner next door. Something sweet hate to see me coming haha. There was a vast variety of different cupcakes and although full, still ended up leaving with about 6 cupcakes that really hit the spot. My fav was this peach cobbler cupcake that was utterly amazing. The staff was very friendly and even recommended which cupcakes were most popular. Will definitely be back to try the rest I didn’t get to try!
