Coronado Cupcakery - Coronado, CA

My first cupcake shop stop on vacation was the Coronado Cupcakery on Coronado Island. We had taken a ferry over and just arrived when I saw the shop out of the corner of my eye... after that it was all over - I knew I wouldn't be leaving the island without a cupcake in hand.

So off to the cupcake shop we go... the average cupcake was about $3.75 and the size was a little bit larger than some of the other ones I had tried at other shops in town. For the size and price, I thought it was a good deal.

Now for the life of me I can not remember the name of the flavor I tried, but let me tell you about it. A chocolate cupcake with a chocolate chip cream cheese filling. It was magnificent! Seriously - really, it was. It was a rich cupcake, but I couldn't put it down once I got started. It was moist... and yummy!

So my only comment about the cupcake - the icing was lame. And it didn't match the cupcake. A strip of red icing around the edge, not really going for overall presentation I suppose. However, as you can tell from my picture below I didn't let it bother me.

Interestingly, this particular cupcake shop didn't get as many raving reviews as I would have thought. People thought it was overpriced and some said there wasn't enough variety and yada yada... can one ever please everyone? I'm pleased!

Overall rating - 4.5 out of 5 stars.
