Review by Kristy Samone 

In my experience as a cupcake connoisseur, no matter how fancy the cupcake might look, you can't beat exceptional taste. That's what I've found at Bittersweet. They make a "basic" cupcake taste not-so-basic. With every bite of my moist red velvet cupcake, I tasted high quality ingredients like real butter and the icing...beyond yum...not too sweet but sweet enough. 


Pistachio Cupcakes & Carrot Cake Cupcakes 
Besides the chocolate and vanilla, Bittersweet has a long list of specialty cupcakes from Boston Cream Pie, Black Forest Brownie, Pistachio and PB&J. Plus, the customer service is a-mazing! It feels like that show Cheers where everybody knows your name. The owner, Jody Manor, told me part of Bittersweet's success is due to consistency like its retention of the same staff. Their philosophy is: Happy staff = Happy customers. 


Bittersweet is walking distance from the King St Metro and there is plenty of on-street parking. Another plus: Wifi-a must for bloggers like myself
