    I have to second this. My second time to SaraSara I had the Strawberry Shortcake cupcake and it was phenomenal. But for similar reasons to those stated above, I would rather go to C & J.

    Sara's cupcake was awesome, but frosting was so so. C&J frosting was really good.

    Based on your good review of the Strawberry Shortcake cupcake, I went by and had one. For some reason, the frosting was very "gummy" and not at all appealing. But the blueberry I picked up at the same time was moist and delicious - very rich (the texture of their breakfast cupcake was still crummy).

    My wife bought me a few cupcakes from SaraSara's Cupcakes for V-Day. She got me the coconut cream, key lime, peanut butter, and the Crimson and Cream. My favorite was the coconut cream by far as it was very tasty, moist and had a perfect amount of frosting. The others had good taste, but were not as near as moist. I have seen/heard a few others talk about the dryness level of their cupcakes so I am wondering what is going on..

    Drove past yesterday and saw a sign out front that said "Sno Cones" - Snow Cones? What next, concession stand nachos and candy bars? Not a good sign.

    Yeah, confirmed. I saw the snowcones when I was in there the other day and asked what's up with that. She said here they are, did you want to get one? I agree, totally weird combination. If anything, I'd like to see them offer some brunch type food.

    What about cotton candy?

    How much does a snow cone cost there?

    Don't know, I only go for the cupcakes.

    The cupcakes at Sara Sara have improved tremendously. I thought it would be tacky to ask the owner if she'd gotten any negative feedback, but I recently bought about 5 different varieties and they were all superb. They were all far more moist and flavorful than I remember them being when the store opened. So, if someone had a less than stellar experience early on, I would encourage you to try again.

    I've tried them on three separate occasions within the last two months and although I like the creativity of their cupcakes, I have to give them mixed reviews. I've had the coconut, chocolate/chocolate icing, the count chocula, the one with the snickers pieces on it, pineapple, and strawberry.

    Best (all were moist and delicious):
    Coconut - my wife's favorite
    Pineapple - my favorite
    Strawberry


    Not so good:
    "Snickers" cupcake
    Chocolate/chocolate icing
    Count Chocula

    I found all of these to be way too dense and not that tasty. I don't know why, but maybe these were not as fresh as the others. My wife and I typically split them and we didn't finish either half on these selections. Even my kids didn't care for them and that's saying something - especially on the chocolate ones.

    Finally went to Sara Sara after a delicious lunch at Iguana today.

    The chocolate on chocolate was horrible. Oily tasting frosting, dry cake and chocolate shavings were stale.

    I've had better cupcakes from Homeland.
    If they can't do choc/choc right - naw, baby, naw...

    It seems like frozen yogurt has replaced cupcakes as the "in" food.

    What's "old" is new again....I remember when there used to be TCBY stores all over town, 23rd & Glade, Mayfair, The Colonnade were ones that I frequented.

    Wonder how long this current cycle will last.

    It kind of irritates me in a way because it is just obvious that so many new entrants are trying to set something up fast in hopes of cashing in on the craze and/or getting bought by some larger chain. Certainly though some are not like that and are in for the long haul. So hard to tell at this point who will shake out and who will stay.

    Not a big cupcake guy, but my wife and I stopped by last night after dinner at Hillbilly's. She loves cupcakes and the one we got was super dry. Not sure if it had been sitting there all day, but I wasn't impressed at all. My wife said this was the 3rd time she's gotten really dry cupcakes from them. She prefers Cuppies and Joe.

    everytime I have had them they are dry. never been a fan.. but I love the location and building.
    also it seems they are always really flat.. like below the paper flat.. no real top to them.

    I've had an occasional dry cupcake there, but it's not the rule. Sara Sara is not the place for someone who prefers frosting to cake. I'd go to Green Goodies for frosting. But to me, no cupcake store in town (and I believe I've tried them all) has better cake in their cupcakes.

    my personal Favorite is Saturn Grill.. ( which gets their cupcakes from Sweet memories now Ingrids )

    Sara Sara cupcakes are dense. I think a lot of people mistake the density for dryness.

    If it's not what you are used to in a cupcake. I can see how it can turn some people off to them. Personally I like the way Sara Sara makes them but I'm also not a frosting fan. I prefer the larger cake ratio.

    It's kind of like fall of the bone ribs to me. I don't like them but a lot of people do.

    I know the difference between dry and dense and SS cupcakes are dry. They have a neat little shop and I love the milk bar.

    Only cup cake place where my wife and I walked in, ordered, took no more than two bites and got up and left. like others have said, VERY dry and lacking in fresh flavor. Went a second time with a friend and had a bite of hers before I'd order one for myself. Again, very dry. She ate about half and we left.

    Shame, really like the location.

    We do cuppies and joe or cafe 501 if we are in the mood for a cup cake usually.

    Wait, what? Must've missed the news, that sucks! Sweete Memories had fantastic cupcakes (better than the current Cuppies and Joe ones, but not better than when Cuppies and Joe started), haven't tried Ingrid's, but I don't have my hopes up, doubt they kept Sweete Memories' recipes or anything, and are just now another Ingrid's. Oh well, better for my health, I suppose

    Yah I feel the same way.. haven't tried them since the change.. but loved sweet memories and hope they are using some of their recipes..

    So according to their FB page they are relocating from their nice location on 9th Street to this location on Western.

    https://www.google.com/maps/@35.4966...2!8i6656?hl=en

    Seems like an odd move to me. I don't know if they own or rent that 9th Street location. I suppose it's possible if they rent that the price has gone up and they can't justify the increase.
