Treat Cupcake Bar

My fiancée and I are BIG on sweets. And let me tell you, Tigermac’s macarons are transcendent. I have yet to find another bakery that reaches this level of excellence. In my experience, gluten and nut free desserts have always tasted lackluster. But Tigermac? They might be become the gold standard in allergen free desserts. ♾️/10 will buy again.

My mom ordered cupcakes from here for my birthday and had such a nice interaction with them that she texted me gushing about it. The cupcakes arrived right when Adie said they would and were incredibly delicious and beautiful!! Made my birthday really special-thank you!

Ordered a variety of cupcakes here for our wedding, and they were a huge hit! They were all gluten free (and the guests didn't even notice). The cupcakes were delicious and looked great in pictures!

Cupcakes were excellent! The icing was soft but not overly sweet! Cake was baked perfectly! They have to be eaten immediately or else they tasted a bit dry the next day or two. Lemon drops have a nice lemony flavor but not too artificial, the filling inside the cake was sooo good! Vanilla with sprinkles were my favorite. Oreo cupcake was a bit too filling for me. Overall, the cupcakes were big and delicious! The atmosphere of the place made me happy! Very inviting and joyful!

It's so hard to find bakeries that have allergy-friendly (gluten-free, dairy-free, and nut-free all at the same time) options. Treat has been our favorite place to go for allergy-friendly cupcakes since moving to the area. Ordered a custom cake for my daughter's birthday and she LOVES how it turned out! Thanks so much!!!

A friend bought me cupcakes from here for my birthday, and they were the best cupcakes I have every tasted in my life. They were also beautiful works of art. What a great treat! I will definitely be visiting this establishment for my next special occasion. :)

The cupcakes are a little too sweet and a little too salty for my personal taste. But, my kids absolutely love them, so they're clearly doing something right. And, they're really allergy friendly and they're a cute local business!

Such an incredible bakery to fit allergy needs. Ordered my daughter’s birthday cupcakes from here and their ability to answer all of our allergy questions and to be able to accommodate us was amazing. Our 5 year old’s allergies (wheat, dairy, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame). THANK YOU for making her birthday a dream.

Got treat cupcakes for my birthday and they were super yummy! Very big and great selection of flavors. The frosting is very light almost like whipped cream. Really enjoyed.

Excellent.. everything i tried was great.. the inside was spotless and efficiently done.. the woman working was light clean bouncy and informed.. i loved it!

This cupcake shop is so cute! I stumbled upon it by coincidence but their cupcakes are so cutely designed. I got the "amazing" cupcake which had a unicorn horn and glitter on top of the frosting. There is no seating indoors (only outdoors) and it was raining when I went so we had to eat these cupcakes in the car. But they were so kind and boxed the cupcakes up so nicely in takeout containers for us and offered us a fork (which is a very smart way to eat these cupcakes since they're pretty big!)

Always my go-to place for cupcakes/celebration treats bc there are so many fun combinations (i.e. mini cupcakes, gluten free, allergen friendly) and fun flavors as well- they also have seasonal ones which are really fun as well. Also look how pretty these cupcakes are -- got them to share between my coworkers and everyone loved them (including me). Hahah these cupcakes are biiig but I think I could finish an entire one bc of how good they are lol. Also their shop is sooo cute and smells so good, it's pink and bright and you can taste /smell how FRESH their cupcakes are!

The place has renovated and the counter is a lot smaller than it once was. They are still continuing to make creative allergy friendly treats. There are seasonal cup cakes that are nut, dairy and gluten free. It's still our go to cupcake bakery. I just wish things weren't so pricey. A 12 pack of assorted mini cupcakes are now $30+. Really want to support the bakery but it's getting more difficult.

Cupcakes flavor variety is great, cakes are moist and the frosting is SO good! My pups loved the cupcakes as well and the staff are just lovely!

My go to spot when I'm in the area. The cupcakes are very good and tasty. Not the best I have ever had just kinda OK for me, but very good. The Cupcakes are A bit smaller just average size home sized. for a place like this the Cupcakes are just average. The prices are on Par for this area. Treat Cupcake Bar seems to be Women owned. They take credit Cards Wheelchair accessible. "No Power Door" As for the service the sereral times I have been in there. The service is nothing to write home about. The staff seem to me unapproachable & standoffish. I get and ignored vibe when I go in there. I get in and get out. Overall Treat Cupcake Bar is just average to me.

The cupcakes are outrageously good. They are great for allergies, and I've used them for gf/df birthday treats for my husband. The employee I worked with was extremely helpful, kind, and steered me to a delicious spread for my party. I recommend them to anyone looking for speciality and allergy friendly treats!

Only one other group inside around 1:00PM on a Saturday. Pros: -Allergy friendly! Seemed like there were lots of GF/DF/NF options, and the staff even offered to put a GF/DF sticker on my to-go cupcake box. -Edible cookie dough! -Friendly staff Cons: -Pricey -Street parking -Soapy taste in some desserts? -- Edible Cookie Dough ($4.26 for a small--also comes in medium and large) There were 4 types available at the cookie dough bar (Pumpkin Snickerdoodle, Chocolate Chip, Cookies & Cream, and Sugar Cookie) but they had even more flavors pre-packed in the case next to it (all of the above, assuming Funky Chunky Oreo is the same as Cookies & Cream and Sprinkle Me Silly is the same as Sugar Cookie, + S'Mores and Peanut Butter Fudge). I wish all of the options were available at the bar so we could have tried them all easily! Eater Boston had reported that "flights" were available to try a bunch of flavors, but when we asked the staff they weren't sure what we were talking about. However, they were kind enough to cram all 4 available types at the bar into a small (we thought we could only have 2) so we could try as many as possible! Cookies & Cream Tastes kind of like brownie dough. Chocolate is the prominent flavor. This was the only one of the 4 flavors we tried that had a slightly grainy texture (which I liked!) Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Seems like basic cookie dough with a very strong pumpkin flavor and white chocolate chips instead of milk. I enjoyed it! Chocolate Chip Classic chocolate chip cookie dough, though not grainy or salty. It's OK. Sugar Cookie Seems like basic cookie dough with sprinkles substituted for chocolate chips. Had a weird soapy taste the second time I tried it. Overall, all of the doughs were super soft and smooth. I think it would be even more addictive if it was a little thicker + a little salt and some grainy sugar to add to the texture. At least one of the doughs had a soapy (?) taste, which my family also noticed in the cupcake, so I wonder if one of their ingredients causes this? Might be worth a try if you like cookie dough. Gluten Free Plain Jane Chocolate Cupcake ($5.62) Huge GF chocolate cupcake with chocolate icing and sprinkles. My mom and 2 sisters thought this cupcake tasted like soap and couldn't eat it, but enjoyed the frosting. However, when I tried it, I thought the frosting tasted awful (like pure sugar) but found the cake to be dense and somewhat fudgy. I usually find that cupcakes are dry and crumbly, so I was pleasantly surprised that it was closer to moist--still, I wouldn't pay almost $6 for this cupcake again.

A great place to get treat in you're Needham, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get them. With such a variety of options, we decided to go for the mini sampler to try all of their flavors. For $20 you get a dozen random mini cupcakes including their seasonal flavors. They also have an allergy friendly option for gluten/egg/dairy/nut free cupcakes. I definitely enjoyed the cupcakes with flavored frosting - fluffernutter and mint o green. These are great mini bite sized cupcakes, so you don't feel bad when you're eating more than one. One important thing to note is that these cupcakes shouldn't be refrigerated. If you're not going to eat them asap (within 72 hours), just freeze them and defrost for when you want a sweet treat. They also have edible cookie dough as another sweet treat. I'd recommend this place if you're looking for allergy friendly treats!

DELISH cupcakes - I bought 6 different ones - ALL were MOIST and topped with loads of frosting. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I am so glad this place is still up and running...and expanding! They now have a wide variety of edible cookie dough and crazy good cupcakes!!!!! Definitely worth a stop if you're in the Needham area. The place has fun decorations, cheerful staff, and wonderful treats.

Got lemon & chocolate cupcakes. Liked the frosting but the cake was supermarket quality. Expensive. & disappointing.

Amazing variety of cupcakes including lots of GF options. Have ordered as gifts and had them delivered. Recipients loved them.

It was my first time visiting this place. The woman behind the counter was courteous and patient as I browsed the cupcake selections. She explained the pricing and neatly packaged our order. I will definitely go back since my son loves cupcakes.

Mr.G surprised me with Vegan birthday cupcakes. What a treat. He got one of every flavor for me and another box for the kids. The favs were the Vegan Pumpkin and regular Red Velvet. Although the lemon and triple choc were right up there. They are denser than I thought they'd be but over all a wonderful treat. The flavors, frosting and decorations on top were fun. Just made my day special. The frosting was perfect. Smooth light and no too sweet. However the black penguin although so cute doesn't taste as good since the color is so dark. As the sticker on the box labels these sweets are best eaten within 24 hrs. Each day that passes the cake, like others, gets dry. These don't need to be stored in the frig. Now I'll need to stop by in person and check it out.

The cupcakes were huge! I got gluten free and vegan cupcakes and they come out in these cute take away packages. I'm glad yelp referred me to this place cause it was definitely a hit. They also have cute little kits which can be fun for school kids birthday. I'll be back for more.

Oh my goodness, I already loved their cupcakes, gluten Free, dairy free, allergen free, now their gluten free, dairy cookie dough is DIVINE! Beyond that, their customer service is chronically above and beyond! Thank you to treats for being flexible, understanding and allowing us to feel "safe" at such a crazy crazy time!

I've ordered here before years ago for cupcakes delivered to my offices in Boston and in Waltham - they were always very good. I like the packaging. They even catered to my last minute orders. What prompted me to write this review today was that I actually drove to the cupcake bar from my office in Marlborough. The inside is pretty large/ cute/ clean. I really was surprised at how big the place is and how much they offer. Anyway, I picked up my order but saw in the case they had gluten free/ vegan cupcakes and had to have one for my drive back. Seriously, it was the best gluten free vegan vanilla cupcake I've ever had! A man that was driving by me caught me eating it like a maniac in my car, yeah it was that good. I have been so disappointed in other bakeries that are actually vegan only places- For example Wildflour in RI- and countless others- either the cake is really dense and flavorless or it is dense and tastes like bananas or a gross gluten free flavor-- NOT here! Fluffy, tasted like it wasn't gluten free at all! The frosting was amazing too. I want cupcakes to taste good. They pretty much only taste good here.

I had outstanding customer service last Saturday (9/19/2020). I called to see when they closed, and when the woman said they closed in 15 minutes, I realized I would never make it there in time from Medfield. The woman assured me that she would stay open, as she still had cleaning to do, so that I could get cupcakes that I had promised to bring to a birthday party that evening. While the cupcakes were indeed delicious, I was super impressed by the customer service. Great job, Treat!

I ordered a dozen mixed cupcakes to be delivered to my daughter for her birthday. I am really impressed by how professional and cordial Treat Cupcake Bar is. They took my order a week ahead of time, and as asked, delivered a variety, so every cupcake was a different kind. They were delivered right on time, and as a plus, they were absolutely yummy! Thank you Treat Cupcake Bar. I will be ordering from you again! BJ

I ordered 2 dozen cupcakes (frozen) for a family event. And they were perfect. Plus doggie treats as well. Everything was ready for pickup and with curbside pickup made it easier. Thank you Treats , definitely order here again.. and I haven't been here in awhile , amazing varieties as well.

Gluten-free is tough to do at home so I rely on Gillian's, Trader Joe's (their GF cupcakes are surprisingly wonderful) and when I want something fancier I will head to Treat Cupcake Bar. I LOVE LEMON and Treat occasionally has this DIVINE Blueberry cupcake with lemon icing. So when I saw they had a straight up lemon cupcake I thought "YIPPY SKIPPY" Somewhere at the back of my mind I thought...this is too good to be true. A LEMON DROP CUPCAKE...so I tried it in the store. GROSS I had to fight to swallow that one bite, it was as if the icing was sprinkled with potassium salt. Potassium salt is salty but has a distinctly bitter aftertaste. Salty, well there is a place for that in dessert but it should accent not be the main feature, maybe in a dark chocolate dessert but that salty bitterness had no place in a lemon cupcake. Alas it was there so into the trash it went. I hate waste but there was no way I was getting that done, had to throw it out. It was also one of those days where I just needed to get my cupcake on So having kept my credit card out I immediately bought a great gluten-free old standby Sprinkle Me Silly. As the Sprinkle me Silly is so reliable I will keep it at 3 stars but man bring the blueberry lemon one back or warn folks about the Lemon Drop.

Shocked at the prices - never thought six adorable, but not that good cupcakes would cost $25. I could have gotten a whole delicious cake at Party Favors in Brookline for that price. My daughter and I stopped in - she wanted to bring cupcakes to a party she was going to. Despite the store being empty the girl behind the counter wasn't super helpful and certainly not overly friendly. Roche Bros and Whole Foods makes better tasting cupcakes that cost less. A very disappointing experience. My advice is to go elsewhere.

Treat Cupcake Bar is the best! I am lactose intolerant, and when it comes to pastries, it's not always easy to find delicious milk substitutions. Especially for a wedding. I would always use them for my girl's night out dessert choice and buy a dozen cupcakes, and then naturally my bridesmaids used them for my bridal shower! I reached out to make my wedding cake, and the process was so simple! The only downside is that they don't deliver, but they took all the steps needed to be sure the cake stayed fresh during pick up, and for it to last until cake cutting. They offer so many different flavor options and are allergy friendly. You can purchase a sampler set of cupcakes to try all the flavors too!

Absolutely love this place!! I stop here every time I'm in town. Always so many choices and the staff is so helpful and pleasant

Stopped by here for a sweet treat. Had a funfetti cupcake with vanilla frosting and rainbow sprinkles. The cake is somewhat dense (it was also cold and just out of the refrigerator which may affect that), but overall a pretty good cupcake; nothing too unique about it. They are on the larger size and cost about $4.25 which seems reasonable for the size of the cupcake. You are unable to enter the store and have to make your purchase from a small vestibule area between the two sets of doors leading into the shop. They do have some outdoor seating in front of the store though.

Treat has a fantastic selection of cupcakes and well as a fun concept. You can be a little kid again and pick out wacky toppings for your cupcake if you decide to make your own cupcake. Plus they have gluten free cupcakes!! They have a wide selection of pre-made cupcakes. I have purchased them for a birthday at work and all 6 flavors, including Lemon Drop, Need Creme Pie and Plain Jane, went over well. I think that the birthday girl enjoyed the triple chocolate the best. Since I eat the gluten free ones I'll focus there. I have purchased their pre-made gfree cupcakes as well as made one at the treat bar. Premade cupcakes are gluten and dairy free and I think that they pull that off really well. The chocolate cupcake with the cookies and cream frosting is really good. They even called me back when I left a msg with questions about the cookie they use. So helpful. The gfree cupcake has the same texture that would expect of a regualr cupcake. I could tell a slight difference in taste and texture in the vegan frosting, however nothing off putting for someone who does not need to have a vegan frosting. Trea

We all love to build our own creative treats: sundaes, milkshakes, flurries etc. but have you ever had the opportunity to Build Your Own Cupcakes? At Treat Cupcake Bar you can do exactly that: You have your choice of buying one of their delicious pre-made cupcakes. Or get a little inventive and make your own confectionery delight. Since it was my birthday and we were in a hurry to smuggle our treats home, we got two cupcakes to go. These monsters were huge, moist, and the buttercream was out of a dream. Highly recommended and probably the best cupcake experience I've had in Boston. We tackled the Peanut Butter Explosion cupcake and the Oreo cupcake. Wow. Both were excellent, but the Peanut Butter one kept me coming back for more and more. It was delicious enough to make me believe that the cupcake trend had just started. It's too bad Treat is late in the game, but they're more than welcome to rock the cupcake scene and take it by storm

I went there last Friday to get cupcakes for my adult son's Birthday. I loved the selection they have and they were All delicious. Will definitely go back

Great cupcakes My son has nut and egg allergies. Treat Cupcake Bar has many cupcakes which he can eat. They were pretty tasty as well. They have been able to consistently fill many custom orders without any issues with proper notice.

Cupcakes are not healthy, but they are delicious, and those at Treats Cupcake Bar are very delicious indeed! Firstly, this place is very cute... actually, it's damn adorable. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, too. The selection is great, and there are even gluten-free cupcakes in a small display next to the main display case. One of the fun features of this place is the create-your-own station where you can choose your cake, frosting, toppings, etc. - basically like Coldstone, but with cupcakes! I've yet to try it, but I've seen it being done while there and it looks like such fun, especially for kids. The cupcake I got (white chocolate cake with white chocolate chips, white chocolate frosting, and white snowflake sprinkles) was great. The funny thing is, the cupcakes are big but not ottoman-sized, but I like that because you don't feel like you're doing your body *too* much harm! The cupcake itself was just sweet enough, not too much and not too little. The frosting was so incredibly delicious, tasting of pure white chocolate without, again, being too sweet. A nice little perk is their packaging. They use Chinese food take-out boxes and have very trendy-looking bags to carry multiple cupcake boxes in. A bit wasteful, but very nice! The location of Treats is very central - right in the heart of Needham Center. No private lot, so get ready to pay for a meter.

Birthday alternative to the usual cake and they did not disappoint. Wonderful selection and our guests had difficulty deciding which ones they wanted to eat. Each cupcake was beautiful and delicious. We would certainly recommend and will go back to Treat Cupcake Bar again.

Ran in quickly to get some cupcakes. My favorite by far is the bugs bunny (carrot cake) absolutely delicious. Staff is always friendly and quick to help

I am upping my review to five stars because I went here yesterday and fell in love with the place all over again. I may have been swayed by the large samples of their new summer flavors (haven't seen samples out before), but the cupcakes I bought were also delicious! I like that you can get a mix of cupcakes with more traditional frosting and others use a delicious ganache. I feel like you can get quite the variety. The cupcakes were moist not a dry ounce in sight. I also like that they have late Sunday hours. So many bakeries/cupcakeries are not open on Sundays or close early. This is a great place to go seven days a week.

A cute shop with a wide variety of cakes, cupcake-inspired beverages, and a make-your-own cupcake bar offering many toppings to mix with your frosting choice on a chocolate, vanilla or swirl cake. Tried the Blueberry Pancake with Maple Walnut frosting, the Lemon Drop, and a make-your-own Chocolate with light chocolate frosting mixed with chocolate jimmies, Oreo crumbles, and Reese's Pieces. Sad to say all three in our party felt the cupcakes were very dry, with the Blueberry Pancake being the tasty exception, its flavors enough to impress over the only-adequate moisture and denser texture. The frostings were creamy and good on all counts. Service and atmosphere were friendly. But in the end, it is too high a price in both cost and calories to end up with such a disappointingly dry cake. We went here as a destination for a birthday treat, based on Yelp reviews and our own resources. Would not make the trip again.

I read on boston.cityvoter.com that Treat was voted the #1 cupcakery in the area. We decided to visit their Needham store after brunch this past Father's Day since it was on the way home. I got there late Sunday afternoon. The previous customers were leaving as I arrived and the store was empty. There were a few cupcakes left in each of the flavors available. The cupcakes here are huge! I decided to get six to bring home. The gentleman behind the counter was not very friendly, no hello, no smile. He had a bit of a scream fest with the girl working in their desert location next door while I was there. Despite the lackluster experience at the store, we enjoyed their cupcakes. My 9 y/o loved the Oreo one. I think it's spoiled her for any other cookies & cream cupcake from any other cupcakery :) It really tastes like an Oreo! I got one of their special cupcakes ($5), the S'Mores one. It was great! The others were great as well. The only minor complaint was that the frosting on the red velvet was a tad sweet. This might be because we had just had one from Georgetown Cupcake and their red velvet was a perfect balance for us. We really enjoyed these cupcakes. Unfortunately Needham is a bit out of the way for us. Thank goodness there is one in Chestnut Hill. We'll definitely visit that one the next time we're out shopping.

Okay, this place is amazing and the staff couldn't be nicer. The cupcakes are works of art, made with the best ingredients. Can't recommend enough. Drool.

Extremely overpriced (I'll pay when it's worth it, no problem, and it's not) and they don't taste good -- the gluten free ones, anyway. Didn't get sick, but have no desire to go back. I went once years ago and then ended up coming back forgetting why I didn't ever make it a point to come here. Then, I quickly remembered. The taste of the GF cupcakes is just simply not good. Dry, with off-flavors.

The place that always satisfies my sweet cravings!!! I never feel like I'm missing out being gluten free. They have so many options and the staff is wonderful. I actually got a cupcake tower with a cake on top for my bridal shower and they made the planning process so much fun. Decadent treats that keep you coming back :) the place is very clean and cute

Ordered cupcakes online using the "pick for me" option. All the cupcakes were delicious and looked beautiful. We loved the seasonal options of pumpkin pie and cafe mocha!

Treat is adorable. The presentation and fun-ness factor of being able to pick your own toppings is a real, well..."treat." Unfortunately, you pay a premium for this: this is *the* priciest cupcake shop that I know of. I'm embarrassed to admit that I pay $5.00 for a single vegan oreo cookie cupcake there. My faves are the vegan pumpkin, chocolate orange, mocha, soy nut butter, and oreo. However, you should call ahead if you're looking for a particular flavor as they aren't always available. Parking can be tricky here as it's metered. Sometimes you get lucky with a space right in front, but usually I park in the Walgreen's lot and hope not to be towed. Still, it's right in town for me and it's nice to have access to vegan treats so readily...when you can get 'em...at any cost. They're not the best vegan cupcakes out there, but they're really good. And I hear they're now making vegan AND soy-free options now for the allergy-prone among us. Nice to know...they'll do custom orders, which came in handy for a kids' birthday party earlier this year.

Treat used to be our go to cupcake bakery. Unfortunately in a recent visit we were disappointed to learn that all of the cupcakes we chose from the display case were partially or previously frozen. We were assured by staff that they would taste just as good as freshly baked, but they didn't. The cupcakes were dry and lacked the flavor we were expecting. The idea that the cupcakes had been frozen at all tainted the experience for us.

People are buzzing about this place and I can understand why! I decided to take the chance of placing a large order for my daughters birthday party without sampling one first - I wasn't disappointed! I went with the basic vanilla and chocolate decorated as Elmo and Abby! The decorator did a fantastic job!! The frosting was out-of-this world!! Usually I scrape the frosting off and just eat the cake, but the texture was light, creamy and not too sweet! The vanilla was good (not as good as party favors) and the chocolate was the best i've had for a cupcake!!! The perfect chocolaty taste with the right texture (on the denser side). I can't wait to go back and try all the flavor combinations! You can get REALLY creative here!! Also, they have special cupcake boxes when you take them to go so they don't slide around in the box!!

Such a gem of a place. What I like about Treat is how it is different than your typical dessert place. For dessert options they have cupcakes, with vegan options; soft serve ice cream, froyo, gelato, sorbet; and now they have hard ice cream & sorbet, locally sourced. The man serving was helpful and sweet, and for a nice "treat", you can choose what kind of sprinkles you want (separated by specific color, with also coconut & oreo options) for free. Treat is definitely a treat.

Not only are their treats so delicious, they went out of their way to drop them off at my house to make sure I had them for a birthday party scheduled right after a blizzard! Amazing!

I placed an order for cupcakes and cookies to be delivered to three area business partners as a way to cheer them on and provide support during this trying time. Treat Cupcake Bar hit it out of the park! From the moment my call was answered, they worked with me to choose the most appropriate items and stay in my budget- and to ensure delivery. The recipients were thrilled with this surprise,and my company was so happy to be able to provide a smile to health care workers caring for seniors. I can't say enough good things about both their service and their product and will definitely use them again in the future! If there's someone in your life who would benefit from a cupcake surprise- send them delivery from Treat!

Lots of options. A little pricy. Takeout was set up well with appropriate COVID precautions. I tried a couple of the vegan cupcakes, which were okay, but not great. Hopefully their other menu items are better. (Points for presentation and artistry, though --everything looked amazing!)

Found this place on a whim when looking to get a variety of 25 cupcakes last minute for a party. These were hands down the best cupcakes I've ever had. The frosting was smooth and delicious. The cake was hefty and moist. I had 5 different flavors and every one was amazing. Friends at the party were raving about them! Definitely coming here for my cupcake orders from now on!
