Additional Notes:
Buttercream on both cupcakes was airy, very sugary, slightly grainy but still smooth.
The peppermint buttercream had a pronounced mint flavor but it wasn't overpowering. The chocolate cake was very light and fluffy.
The vanilla cupcake was slightly dry but not unbearable. The frosting is what made this cupcake, even if it is a little too sugary for my personal liking.

Small shop with some seating by the street-view window but more set up for a quick stop in.
Quick service.
Nice full display of cupcakes and multiple options.
The door in the background of the above photo leads into the kitchen where the cupcakes are baked fresh. It's cool to be able to see that for yourself as a cupcake enthusiast (and general consumer!).
