Trophy Cupcakes, Party & Pâtisserie

Surprisingly reasonably priced coffee drinks (compared to other Eastside cafe spots) and some nice savory foods if you want something before a very sweet treat. My matcha tea latte was bitter and imbalanced, unfortunately. The decor is pretty and feels a bit over the top, but I realize that's probably the point here. There's only one vegan food item - a chocolate cupcake, so it's challenging for anyone with dairy or egg allergies. A good amount of gluten-free items cater well to the GF population, though. Since the cupcakes are rather cloyingly sweet, I miss the old days of when one didn't have to special order so many mini cupcakes to get them in a more reasonable portion size. The hummingbird is a good one, even among all of the many chocolate options!

I was so excited to open my gluten free cupcake and find a filling that I wish I had it on camera. It would have been the best advertisement ever. Seriously don't ask any questions, just go. I couldn't tell I was eating gluten free. I almost cried.
