Profile

Here, just south of Port Authority, you can fortify yourself for even a trip to New Jersey with whole-wheat doughnuts, thick, fluffy waffles, and hearty soups.  Cupcake Cafe also crafts dense cakes and cupcakes with the thickest buttercream frosting we’ve tasted. Choose from their signature floral designs and sports motifs for either.

Wedding Cakes

The café uses its signature bright buttercream icing on its wedding cakes.
