Cupcakes Squared - Point Loma, CA

I'm not necessarily blogging in order. I hit three cupcake shops while on vacation in California. My last stop was a shop called Cupcakes Squared. A friend of mine recommended the joint.

First off, there's no seating so you pretty much have to grab and go. Not a big deal I guess. We arrived a little bit after noon and there was still quite a selection left. I tried two - Banana Nut with a butter cream icing and of course, a red velvet, and a chocolate.

My favorite thing about place - the cute cupcakes! They are in a shape of a square. Love it. That's about it on my favorite things about the store.

Cost per cupcake $2.75-3.50. Mini cupcakes - $1.50

Now on to my thoughts on the actual cupcakes itself. The banana nut tasted far from a cupcake, to me it seemed more like a muffin with butter on top. Maybe that's what they were going for, but if that's the case - why not just have a muffin? This is a cupcake blog, so muffins... are out.

The red velvet was alright - it's lacking something. Can't quite figure it out... so I rate it pretty low. However, the chocolate cupcake is superb! Yummy! I guess there's a reason why San Diego rated it #1 in best of San Diego. Of course, there's tons of other flavors and if and when I return to San Diego I may have to return to this cute little shop and try a few others.

Overall rating - 3.5 out of 5 stars.
