Gigi’s Cupcakes of Columbus

been there a few times… cupcakes are WAY to expensive. but theyre gourmet for sure. not worth like 4 dollars for a cupcake !!!

OK so… I’m not afraid to spend a few dollars on certain treats.
But 17.50 for 5 cupcakes — better be good.
chocolate chip cookie dough — Dry !!
carrot cake — Dry !!
coconut Carmel — Dry !!
lemon berry — fair
Over priced !!

The cupcakes themselves weren’t bad. It was the service that was less than satisfactory. I had a coupon that I presented to the very nice young lady that took my order. It was Gigi herself who was rude. Without ever making eye contact with me she picked up the coupon and rudely said «where is this from». My reply was «a coupon book». It was the Columbus Dispatch coupon book. Still not making eye contact, she continues to look at it and then said «I guess it’s OK». REALLY! It had the address of where I was right on it! I’ve told everyone of my experience… I won’t refer and won’t go back! Shame on you! As a business owner you may want to treat your customers with some respect!

Not sure why people rave about these things. I was at a party the other day and they were very excited to announce that the cupcakes were from Gigi’s. They looked nice. They were little bite size cupcakes with nice decorated frosting, but that’s where it ends. The cake was super dry and the frosty just tasted like pure sugar. Like super dry too. sorry just can’t get over it.
I never really buy deserts because my wife is a very good pastry maker, but if I ever do it will not be from here.

I’ve had Gigi’s a couple times now when co-​workers have brought in cupcakes to work, and honestly, I really enjoyed the cupcakes. Looking at the website, the pricing does seem a tad high, but I don’t know what the going rate of a cupcake is nowadays. Looking at The Suisse Shop near by, it looks like their gourmet cupcakes are about the same price.
I’ve tried the red velvet and pumpkin spice cupcakes, and I absolutely loved the icing on both of them, especially the pumpkin one. The pumpkin flavor in the cake was excellent and incredibly rich and delicious. The red velvet cupcake was tasty as well, but I think the cake was a bit drier than I would have liked, and the flavor didn’t really scream red velvet. It was still tasty though. There’s a lot of frosting on these cupcakes, and as long as it’s super tasty (which it was), I’m totally okay with that.
I know it’s a small sample size, but that pumpkin spice cupcake was just so good that it got me wanting to head to GiGi’s to try more. That’s a positive in my book. I am bummed it’s a seasonal flavor, but I’ll grab a few next time to do some research… =)

If you’re looking for gluten free cupcakes, save your money. For 2 dollars more, you can buy King Arthur’s gluten free cake mix from a store and have 24 moist cupcakes.

They looked nice. Worst cupcakes I have ever had. Like 5-​day old stale, and dry… both the cake and icing. Unfortunately we took them home to eat and I refuse to give them a second chance.

I love this place! The cupcakes are amazing.
Too sweet? No. If you don’t want sweet then don’t buy a cupcake in the first place.
I love the dozen mini cupcake package. It’s prefect for presents.

If I could give this place zero stars; then I would. Cupcakes made from scratch?! Don’t let them fool you. Cupcakes made from scratch taste nothing like this. More like Pilsbury from a box. This place is such a fraud, passing off expensive cupcakes claiming to be made from scratch. Sorry, but I’m in the culinary world, and this does not taste like its from scratch. Overpriced for something you can make yourself for a few more bucks, and produce a larger quantity. I’ve paid less for better tasting cupcakes actually MADE FROM SCRATCH at bakeries that are much larger and cheaper. This place is the biggest scam ever!!!

I thought these were the biggest waste of money. It was mostly icing, but that wasn’t even good. The cake itself was the driest, most tasteless cake I’ve ever eaten… Even more so than my lil cakes I made in my light bulb oven as a girl. HORRIBLE!

In my opinion one of the best cupcake places. They have all kinds of flavors. Lovely decorated with great taste. Their cute little store is really welcoming. If you have question you can ask one of the workers and they will answer you with friendly knowledge.

This place gets worse and worse. Came in here last night because Suisse Shop was closed. I have loved their cheesecake cupcakes in the past so I thought I’d get me one of those and let the kids pick out something and we’d be off. SOOOOO not the case, this visit was a complete struggle.
My kids quickly pick out what they want. So, we’re standing in line to check out when a horrible problem happens. The lady in front of me, her total came to $ 18.25 BUT she gave the cashier $ 20.25. The cashier honestly had no idea how much change to give her & actually brought out her cell phone to use the calculator. I’m no Albert Einstein, but is this not 1^st grade math?
So, after the manager tells her how much change to give her, it’s our turn (YAY). I ask the young lady what types of cheesecake cupcakes they have today (they have at least 6 different kinds they rotate). She just stared at me. I repeated my question. Again she just stared at me and said she didn’t know. WELL, here’s an idea, how about you ask someone or turn around and look in the refrigerator and figure it out (I swear at this point I’m seriously about to blow a gasket). The other girl standing next to her answered my question for her.
We get home, none of my kids ate their cupcakes. The cheesecake cupcakes that I used to love so much didn’t taste anything like they used to.
Sadly, will be our last trip to Gigi’s. I can’t image they could ever turn their business around enough for us to return.

I can’t say that I LOVE cupcakes, but sometimes something sweat after a savory meal just hits the spot.
I haven’t had GiGi’s prior to this occasion, but was ready for a ‘dry, overly sweet cupcake’ (read from reviews from other locations).
My husband and I ordered the Kentucky Bourbon Pie and White Midnight Magic… both were fantastic with the first few bites, but quickly got VERY sweet! Neither were dry, but I could have done with a little less frosting. The amount of frosting makes it VERY difficult to eat, even with a fork.
I can’t say that I won’t ever eat at GiGi’s again, but I definitely won’t run out tomorrow for one.

We’re giving them 1 last chance. The last few visits the cake has been so stale had we lived closer they’d have gone back. They’re too over priced to put out food that bad. All the piled on frosting doesn’t help. One more time and back to Blue Moon in Powell. There’s is always fresh.
We went back and I was more impressed this time. I ordered the cheescake cupcakes and OMG, delicious. Problem is almost $ 20 for 6 cupcakes is pushing the envelopes so that’s why I don’t go there often, plus I always eat 3 and thats my caloric intake for a month. Still when I go, its good and Yes, I’ll keep visiting. They deserve one more chance.

Minus a star for high prices, but their cupcakes are really good. I’m not usually a fan of gourmet cupcakes because I feel like the frosting flavor is overpowering and the cake is just blah, but these had good cake and a frosting texture/​flavor that was really yummy. Got two dozen mini assorted for my sister’s baby shower and a banana cream pie cupcake for me. All were delicious and the little ones held up fairly well outside on a hot day.

Gigi’s cupcakes look fun, but eating them is anything but. The icing is thick and chemically. Not at all enjoyable. The cake is often dry (yes we kept trying to be sure of our opinion). They look great. But that’s about it.

Wow, still in sticker shock. $ 35 for 12 cupcakes. Not sure I will be back. Compared to other bakeries that focus on cupcakes, Gigi’s is pricey.
So, I am hands down a sweet freak but this is waaaay too much sugar. More frosting than cupcake. I am giving them kudos for the unique names and flavor pairings. The store is in a strip mall off Polaris Parkway, easy to find and easy to access. The store is cute inside and the cupcakes are presented beautifully.
All my coworkers thought the exact same thing. Most of them couldn’t finish the cupcake. I got a huge sugar rush and achieved a slight headache.

Found Gigi’s while in town on business and am so glad we did! My sister and I love a great cupcake… our whole family does! So we stopped in and the smell alone was incredible. There were so many mouthwatering cupcakes that we ended up purchasing 9! We started with 6 and went back for more!
The Wedding Cake is the most amazing cupcake I have had I quite sometime. It was moist and rich and the icing melted in my mouth! I also loved the Chocolate Carmel Sea Salt. I am a huge Sea salt and Caramel lover and this just hit the spot! We brought the rest back home with us and are slowly enjoying them ;-) (they are safe in the fridge and still tasting great)
I am so excited about finding Gigi’s! I know they will be a staple on our trips from now on.

We loved the entire process of choosing just the right cupcakes for our wedding! We did 366 mini cupcakes in 9 different flavors. We were able to taste all of the cupcakes to choose the ones we desired.
Gigi’s at Polaris treated us like gold, they came and set up the day of our event– right on time and even left take home containers for our guests (very little needed!).
Thanks Gigi’s! Our cupcakes looked fantastic on the stand that my father made!
I would suggest Gigi’s in a heartbeat!

The cupcakes are beautiful, but not worth
$ 3.50 each. They’re super sweet, so don’t leave home without your insulin!
