I found Urban Cookies Bakeshop on Uber Eats while trying to find last-minute cupcakes for a colleague’s birthday during a work conference in Phoenix. Although I can’t speak to the in-store atmosphere, I can say this: the cupcakes were DELICIOUS.
Because I have celiac disease, I usually proceed with caution, especially since the bakery clearly notes that it is not certified gluten-free. But when the cupcakes arrived and looked exactly like the photos online, I thought, “Oh well” lol. I opted for the gluten-free strawberry cupcake, and it was fantastic—moist, flavorful, and beautifully decorated. We ordered a 12-pack assortment including chocolate, vanilla, brown velvet, birthday, marble, lemon, and carrot, and every single colleague who tried one raved about how good they were. The cupcakes disappeared so quickly that I forgot to snap a picture.
I experienced some celiac-related symptoms a few days later, though I can’t say for sure whether it was caused by the cupcake or another source of cross-contamination while traveling. That said, the taste and quality were good enough that I will absolutely check this place out again the next time I’m in Phoenix, just with the usual gluten-free caution in mind. If you need a sweet treat that looks as good as it tastes, Urban Cookies Bakeshop is definitely worth considering!
