What People Are Saying About Cupcake Royale

Featured Review

Chelsea Lin

Contributor

There is nothing sweeter than this Seattle company’s four locations (Capitol Hill, Madrona, Ballard and West Seattle), except perhaps the wares found within. Cupcakes are the draw here—light, moist, expertly frosted little cakes in flavors ranging from the traditional vanilla/vanilla combo (here referred to as Dance Party with Holly Hobbie) to the sublime salted caramel, red velvet or cupcake of the month. And where you may feel a little guilty about indulging in so much butter and sugar, know that Royale takes their ingredients seriously—most of what goes in each cuppie is organic and locally…

Editor's Tips

Look Good:
Buy one of the t-shirts with their cupcake logo bearing slogans like "Legalize frostitution" and "Does a booty good," also offered are hoodies and stickers.
The Extras:
West Seattle and Capitol Hill locations boast large communal tables, perfect for a sprinkle party (you bring the guests, they supply a sprinkle bar and mix-and-match cupcakes/frostings).
Know Before You Go:
WiFi is free, and Stumptown coffee provides just the fuel needed for a busy workday.

Ohemgee Perfection

by jaydeecee at Citysearch

My daughters and I were brought here by a friend who is a local. That was three months ago and I'm *still* craving these cupcakes! We ordered The Gay...a rainbow cupcake in honor of Gay Pride Week. The staff were professional, courteous, and patient as I explained the point. Besides the excellent, friendly service and clean, pleasant atmosphere, the cupcakes are UH-MAZING. My only regret is that I only ordered one. :(

Hello July, and Hello Strawberry 66!

by SeattleHippy at Citysearch

I come here for the cupcakes and today I came specifically for the flavor of the month - Strawberry 66 - I've waited all year! Better yet, I got it free when I bought a coffee. Life is good.

Now to review my lovely baked good: the strawberry frosting is delicious, the white cake, a bit dry as is my usual complaint. the service - awesome! I love the people at CR, they make me smile. the Batista are quick n good, they can talk and make the coffee - talk about multi-tasking!

Sunday I'll grab me a super yummy mixed pack of these delicious cakes. the only thing that could eat this is frosting my own WITH the cream cheese frosting. a girl can dream.

What a Cupcake Should Be

by Kelly Vigesaa , Citysearch Contributor at Citysearch

With cupcake shops opening up every other month, how does one not only compete, but open up numerous locations? The Cupcake Royale way.

To do it Royale you need dense moist cake, thick buttercream frosting, and an atmosphere that feels more like a diner than a bakery.

You can't help but smile glancing in the case at the shades of pastel frosting, with such flavors as the heavenly Coconut Bunny, the decadent Salted Caramel, and my favorite, the Dance Party with Holly Hobbie - cupcake perfection.

You'll leave chanting their slogan: "legalize frostitution."

  • Pros: frosting, atmosphere, fun

Great Service

by thewindysea at Citysearch

Perhaps it's my own preference for fluffy cupcakes, but when I had their Red Velvet, I found that it was very dense. While it was very flavorful, I just didn't like that it resembled a pound cake to me.

  • Pros: Wonderful Service
  • Cons: Dense Cupcakes
