Located on the corner of one of the side shops of the Halcyon, this little quaint shop definitely needs some more care and attention. We were greeted by an employee at the register, and checked out their display of cupcakes, cookies, and cakes that are made into custom designs that were on display. It is very clean (as it should be considering its brand new) but there's not much of a selection. There's also nowhere to sit, napkins or utensils provided when I got my order.
The owner/head manager was there, never had a smile or even greeted us, and was not friendly at all during our encounter. I would honestly go as far to say a little rude and irritated we were even there. The employee at the cash register was way more nicer w a smile on her face.
I got a red velvet cupcake and a chocolate covered Oreo. The cupcake was so small, and based on steep price of $3.75, this should have been the best cupcake of my life. It was the worst. My 4 year old even spit it out. It was hard, dry, and you could feel it to touch and upon opening it up, it was obvious it wasn't fresh and didn't taste good. Even the icing was hard and seemed like it had been out for awhile. So disappointing. The Oreo $3 was great, good tasting chocolate, and pretty perfect on presentation as well as thickness of the chocolate to cookie ratio.
We had to walk to the middle of the courtyard at the halcyon to try the food and ask for a napkin and utensils from other establishments, which is kind of annoying when it should have been provided already for me. The cupcake was so bad, I didn't even want to go back to let them know based on how the owner seemed at the shop (very uninviting)
They would have gotten a zero on the cupcake but because it was clean, Oreo was good, and I haven't tried their specialty cakes, I gave a 1 star for room of improvement.
