Profile

Though it looks like a recycled Dunkin’ Donuts with its pink, brown, and orange color scheme, and though there’s slightly more available than the name lets on, there’s no question what the highlights are here. Classic beef is the best of the six varieties of bun-stuffers, arriving juicy, flavorful, and cooked just as ordered. A turkey burger is nicely seasoned, its slight dryness best offset with avocado from the dozen-plus toppings. Veggie, salmon, chicken, portobello mushroom and free range bison are some other options. Want fries with that? The onion rings are your best bet, as the limp, soggy potatoes are truly disappointing. Cupcakes—a choice of twelve—stand out for their moistness and buttery, not-too-sweet icing. You can also indulge in cookies, apple turnovers, brownies, and cheesecake. The spot is open for breakfast, too; maybe lunch hour wouldn’t be so crowded if the area office workers knew that. But perhaps adding “bagels” to the name proved a bit too unwieldy.

I agree with the review below. The veggie burger was AWESOME. I got it with cheddar cheese and avacado. The thick slice of avacado was perfectly fresh and delicious. No other condiments needed - the veggie burger is moist and fresh. I will definitely return!

I'm a big fan!

I have to say, Burgers and Cupcakes offers the best veggie burger I have ever had; usually veggie burgers are tasteless or fresh out of the freezer but the veggie burger at Burgers and Cupcakes is very fresh! Also, their cupcakes are to die for!
