Hapa Cupcakes & Cakes

Very cute place, I got chocolate whiskey Oreo, you would think cupcake would not go well with alcohol, but it’s really special and awesome! Highly recommended!

Happa made our wedding cake and everyone loved it! Delicious delicious. Definitely well made. Birthdays are coming and we know where we’ll be going from now on.

I love the cupcakes here becuz not only it taste good but also the worker there are very nice, they also make the birthday cakes too, must come!

They have a fairly large selection of vegan cupcakes, and everything I taste it was very good!

The cupcakes here are so amazing! Handcrafted and such unique combinations of flavors. Beautifully decorated and presented very well. I recently had the cinnamon donut one and it was absolutely divine! The cupcake was moist and the frosting was creamy, smooth, and made my tastebuds dance. We will definitely be coming back to try more flavors.

I’ve come here so many times and I’m always so excited that I forget to check in.
I love the cupcakes here so much. They’re always moist, flavorful, and so nicely decorated. I especially love the Chocolate Whiskey Oreo and the Kahlua Mocha (forgot the name oops). The staff is always friendly and nice, and they’re really patient when I don’t know which cupcake is which! Honestly, after having these cupcakes, every cupcake place I’ve tried for years afterward seemed dry to me. For example, a cupcake place in Manhattan Beach that has pretty high ratings on Unilocal ended up being subpar to my dad and me. Basically, our whole family loves Hapa (even my mom, and she’s super picky).
I did take off a star because even though we get alcohol infused cupcakes every time, it always varies. Of course it’s not heavy to begin with, but we can never taste the alcohol. If we were given two cupcakes, one alcohol infused and one regular, we probably won’t be able to tell the difference. (Although there was one time the Whiskey Oreo had a ton of whiskey flavor– never had one that strong ever again but wow was that amazing). There’s about a $ 0.25 or $ 0.50 difference between alcohol infused and regular (I can’t quite remember, but I believe alcohol infused cupcakes are $ 3.75).
Cake truffles are bomb too! They’re even prettier than the cupcakes and just as tasty in a bite size! They are pretty pricy, but Hapa does host $ 1 Truffle Tuesdays, which, if the name didn’t make it obvious, every truffle is $ 1 (compared to the regular $ 3.25 price I believe).
Also, they do have a reward system! Use your phone number when paying, and every six (?) purchases, you’ll get a certain amount off your next purchase. (I’m not too sure; it’s my sibling that has the reward number).
Anyway, if you’re in the area, I definitely recommend trying out Hapa! (Note: they were voted best cupcakes in OC!!!)

Ugh… I really wanted to like the cupcakes. High expectations were quite underwhelmed. My order consisted of: Orange Grand Marnier Chocolate, Chocolate Caramel Whiskey, Strawberry Milkshake, Strawberry Lemonade, Oreo Chocolate, Red Velvet. The best of the bunch was the Chocolate Caramel Whiskey cupcake. Hands down. It had the perfect portion of a light frosting and deliciously sweet taste. Nice and fluffy.
On the other hand, the Oreo cupcake was very disappointing. Too much frosting and too little of the actual Oreo crumble. Dry and lackluster as well. You can barely taste that it was actually Oreo. A filling would be recommended. The other cupcakes felt heavy on the frosting and the cake, mostly, tasted over-​baked.

I rarely drink alcohol. So, normally, I can easily taste alcohol in food. I could NOT taste any alcohol in the Chocolate Whisky nor the Chocolate Kahlua. Which is fine with me, since I don’t like alcohol. Unfortunately, none of my family could taste it either.
In addition, the cupcakes did not have any flavor and were stale in taste and texture. Frosting was not anything special either.
Very disappointed.

Good cupcakes yet overrated. Too pricey in my opinion. Walked in at noon on a Wednesday and they did have quite a selection and a variety of flavors. Next time I am in the area I will probably come back to try their alcohol infuse cupcakes maybe that’s what gives this place all the hype.

I was searching for vegan cupcakes for a coworkers birthday and came across this little shop on Unilocal with good reviews. I drove 20 mins to Fullerton from Buena Park. When I first got there I was expecting a big bakery but it was a cute little shop. The staff was friendly and explained all the cupcakes to us as we were first timers.
We got 2 vegan cupcakes and 10 variety of different flavors. All were so good and moist. My staff enjoyed them all. Definitely planning on coming back and trying the other flavors especially the alcohol infused ones :)

I went in a few weeks ago inquiring about a smash cake for my child’s first birthday. No one has called me back. This is really unfortunate because I enjoyed going to their store and I think their work is decent but VERY disappointed in their lack of communication. I will be taking my cupcake/​cake/​sweets business elsewhere from now on.
Cupcakes were pretty good. The flavors are fun and creative, the actual cake is fairly dry and last time I was in I saw a fly on one of the cupcakes because they’re in open air. Sicked me out.
Advice– call your customers back. I can’t be waiting around for your call I have a birthday to plan.

I came here after work one day since I was in the mood for some cupcakes and I was nearby. It’s a pretty new place. They have a large variety to choose from vegan/​gluten free to plain to alcohol infused cupcakes. I chose to get strawberry & champagne, chocolate covered strawberry, animal crackers, Kahlua Mexican hot chocolate, vegan birthday vanilla ($ 3.75), and a national donut day ($ 3.75). A half dozen of speciality cupcakes is $ 22. The animal crackers and strawberry and champagne were my favorites. All the cupcakes were moist and the icing was not too overwhelming sweet. Their other flavors that they had were chocolate whiskey oreo, chocolate caramel whiskey, Kahlua snickerdoodle, vegan strawberry lemonade, vegan funfetti oreo, caramel frappé, chocolate peanut butter, snickers, cap n crunch, caramel coconut cream pie, and salted caramel coconut rum.
They take card.

Alcohol + sweets = genius.
My all time favorite item on the menu is the strawberry champagne truffle — a moist ball of yummy goodness. The cupcakes are amazing too, but the truffles have a special place in my heart. They’re like large cakepops, if you’re a fan of those!
Be prepared to walk out with more than you originally intended to buy!

The vegan cupcakes are soooooo moist and delicious! The only thing is the flavors are limited. The only flavors available in vegan were birthday cake and caramel crunch.
Service is good.
Prices are a little high but well worth it.
Cute little shop.

This was my first time here and I can say I enjoyed it. There were unique n good flavors. Which I enjoyed.
I got 4 to try. I think my favorite was the chocolate covered strawberries n champagne. U can’t taste the alcohol. But I loved their frostings on the cupcakes. Overall. It’s a good treat from my diet every once in a while.

How can you go wrong with alcohol infused cupcakes?! Granted, by the time you bake it, much of the alcohol already has evaporated, but how can you deny a sweet treat cupcake and some bubbly?! These cutely decorated alcohol infused cupcakes are a unique selling point compared with all the other cupcakes shops that have popped up over the years.
Located right in the heart of DTF (downtown Fullerton) right were all the local bars & restaurants in the area are; this is the ideal spot for locals and visitors to the area to seek an extra treat for the night. For those not familiar to the area, Hapa Cupcakes does a great job on advertising their shop to the people walking around Fullerton with a street sign pointing to their shop across the street for those that didn’t even know that they existed. When you walk in, it’s like a Pinterest board’s dream. There are cute decorations throughout the store that you just want to take pictures of (which I did — lol). Behind the glass wall on the counter is where they house all their goods with ever-​changing cupcakes flavors such as Triple Chocolate, Cookie Monster (with cookie crumbs on top), Lemon Cupcake, Cap N’ Crunch, Lemon Raspberry, Caramel Frapp, Carrot Cake, Chocolate Caramel Oreo, Strawberry Milkshake, Chocolate M&M, Snickers Cupcake, Birthday Vanilla, Chocolate Birthday Vanilla, Chocolate Oreo, Carrot Caramel Crumble, etc. The price ranges for these are minis are $ 1.75 to these regular sized ones at $ 3.25.-$ 3.75.
For the alcohol infused one: Coconut Rum, Salted Caramel Coconut Rum, Kahlua Snicker doodle, Chocolate Whiskey, Kahlua Mocha, Strawberry & Champagne, Chocolate Whiskey Oreo, Chocolate Caramel Whiskey, Margarita Cupcake, Chocolate Whiskey Raspberry, Kahlua Cinnamon Sugar, Chocolate covered Strawberry Champagne, etc. Prices for these alcohol infused ones range from $ 3.50-$ 3.75 each (no minis available).
We picked up a couple of cupcakes during a Saturday night and there wasn’t a huge line; but sitting there observing the crowd, I saw waves of people walking in and out ranging from one customer specifically stopping to pick up some cupcakes or from groups of families with their kids. There’s no tables inside and somewhat tight if there’s too many people and just one lone table and four chairs outside to sit.
We picked up the following:
+ mini Birthday Vanilla: nice & moist cake with a not too oversugary sweet frosting
+ mini Carrot Cake: flavorful & moist cake
— Caramel Frapp: cake was a bit dry and broke off quite easily in the wrapping
+ Strawberry & Champagne: cake was flavorful & moist. Friend who was eating it didn’t even realize it contained alcohol (lol). He finished it.
This certainly was a nice redemption to the first trip I made to Hapa Cupcake last year where I found the cupcakes a bit dry and not that all tasty. Definitely glad I gave it a 2^nd chance to try again.
TIP: They have a rewards program you can sign up for using your phone number and you basically get a free cupcake for every 10^th one you buy!

Got half a dozen of these cupcakes as a gift for my birthday! They didn’t have labels on them so I couldn’t figure out which flavor was which. I did however for sure eat a peanut butter one and I have to say it was my favorite!
The cupcakes are large however quite dry. The frosting to cake ratio is a bit too much as well. A few of them have filling inside which was pretty nice surprise.
They make great gift but not sure if I personally would go buy them for myself.

I’ve been here twice and both times they were low in stock, but that probably means that they sell out quick everyday! It’s a little on the pricey side, but it’s a definite must try for all you cupcake lovers!
My tolerance to super sweet stuff isn’t too high, but it tastes so good that i’ll definitely be back for some more, well, if I have money to spare, because at $ 3 ~ $ 4 per cupcake, that adds up fairly quickly.
Maybe next time I go, they’ll have what I want and maybe I can boost this up from a 4 star to a 5 star.

Wow I’m so glad I decided to go on a walk in downtown and found this small, cute bakery! They were in cupcake wars (food network show) so I was even more excited than before because c’mon now who doesn’t love cupcakes?!
Upon walking down Amerige St. I saw on of those chalk fold up boards that read cupcakes and such. The location itself is kind of small, but it’s alright since most of us grab them to go.
Now to the cupcakes. They have a ton of selection to choose from I literally wanted one of each looked so delicious! The employee was really helpful as well; I asked a ton of questions and she was happy to answer all them. I ordered the Cap n Crunch which was a vanilla cupcake and with cream cheese and cap N crunch infused frosting. The second cupcake was the red velvet the classic can’t really go wrong with that flavor. Both cakes were really moist not dry at all.
I went Ina Tuesday afternoon and they have $ 1 truffle Tuesday’s which are basically cake pops on steroids! Haha those little amazing balls were so indulging and satisfying!

I like cupcakes in general and I’m a huge fan of pretty desserts. Visually, Hapa Cupcakes and Cakes is a sure winner. They have some of the cutest cupcakes I’ve ever seen and their displays are on point. Actually, even the names of their cupcakes are kind of cute. Flavor wise, I’ve definitely had better. Still, I appreciate that they’re trying to be creative by serving a HUGE variety of cupcakes AND having a TON of alcohol infused cupcakes. I mean where else can you get vegan and alcohol infused cupcakes? I can’t really think of anywhere else. Anyways, after quite a debate, we settled on three cupcakes to take home and share.
We tried the Red Velvet Oreo, Coconut Caramel Rum, and the Strawberry Cheesecake cupcakes. Out of the three, I think the Coconut Caramel Rum was my favorite but that’s not saying much since the texture was way off in both the frosting and the cake but by far the best flavor wise. The Red Velvet Oreo while the frosting had the right consistency (although too sweet), the cake itself was somewhat of a letdown. The cake flavor was WAY off. There is something not quite right with their ratio. Now, the Strawberry Cheesecake was kind of the opposite. Their frosting was literally nothing but straight up sugar. Way too sweet and it tasted way too heavily of cream cheese. In addition, while their cake flavor was spot on, the actual texture of the cake was off. It just completely fell apart which made the cupcake very difficult to eat.
Each cupcake had something that I liked and something that I didn’t like. There wasn’t a single cupcake that had the perfect consistency, texture, and flavor that I look for in a cupcake. I also think that their cupcakes are on the pricier side but since their decorations are so cute, I’m being generous in my rating. ³⁄₅

So I have not come to Hapa in over a month, not by choice of course. Just been super busy, you can say that I was definitely going through a ludicrous cupcake withdrawal. I am seriously shocked that Hapa doesn’t have a five Stars ratings. They seriously have the BEST cupcakes in the Universe.
So I got six today, ate one prior to lunch, gave one to a friend, had two after lunch and last two after dinner. So if you’re thinking, what a pig, don’t judge, try Hapa for yourself and you’ll see why. Unlike other cupcake places, I will usually eat all my icings, but NEVER finish the cakes. At Hapa, I don’t waste anything, if any is stuck on the wrapper, I would probably lick it off, but since they’re always nicely moist and nothing gets stuck, we will never have that issue.
So today I got the Birthday cake (tastes exactly like a Birthday cake, except a trillion times better), two Strawberry Cream Cheese, two Cinnamon Kahula and the caramel Cappuccino. They were all OMG! delicious. Other than my favorite Thai restaurant Archi’s in Las Vegas, Hapa is the only other eating place that I find super consistent. From the quality, quantity, professionalism, pricing, cleanliness to etc. etc. The girls, especially the owner is super cool all the time. If I can give this place 100 stars, I seriously would. Hapa, I will be forever grateful for your quality cupcakes.
Tips: The Parking can sometimes be a little hard to find if you drive, honestly, I don’t care if it takes me an hour to find a space. If my goal is to go Hapa, I persevere to ensure I leave with some cupcakes. I have not find a cupcake place coming close to Hapa. They are brilliant, comparing to many other surrounding places that is mediocre at most.

Super cute, creative cupcakes!
I’m a judgmental snob when it comes to presentation, but in my opinion, Hapa does a beautiful job! I loved looking at the towering displays of sweet treats almost as much as I enjoyed eating them. I’ve only tried a few, but will be back for more, I’m sure.
— Cap n Crunch — Full of that addictive Cap n Crunch cereal flavor.
— Strawberry Cheesecake: Mmmm, very balanced with lots of sweet cream cheese flavor! Strawberry filling in the middle made the cake a bit unstable and this fell apart while eating, but still delish.
— Chocolate covered strawberries & champagne: This was the least impressive of the three, but still a delightful cupcake. The cake portion was strawberry flavored for sure, but I couldn’t detect anything resembling champagne, especially with the rich chocolate icing. Overall, since strawberry and chocolate are a classic flavor combo, this worked nicely.
The day I visited, a loyal customer was raving to me about their truffles, so I’ll have to make a return to try those out!

I have heard nothing but hot buzz about Hapa Cupcakes located right in the heart of Downtown Fullerton. After trying it, I can say that it was quite the sweet treating experience.
They do have alcohol infused cupcakes here, which is what they are known for, as well as their other wacky concoctions with cupcakes, which seems to be the trending choice of sweets amongst foodies nowadays! I managed to buy 4 of them for around $ 15. Not bad of a pricing considering the cupcakes they have here. The one girl who took my order was very sweet and informative of the different kinds of cupcakes they have! By far the snickerdoodle was my favorite!
Not much place where you can sit and enjoy it, so I recommend taking it to go. They have quite the wide variety from strawberry to Kahlua to oreo to cap’n crunch t much more. Don’t believe me-​come and see what the hype is about.
Now-​are they the best I have had? No… but they’re getting up there!

Hi, my name is Yuri and I’m a chocoholic. Alcohol-​infused Chocolate Whiskey? Yes, Please! Limited Edition S’mores Cupcake? Oh Yes, Yes, Please! What is this? Red Velvet Cupcake with sprinkles of chocolatey yumminess which includes oreo crumbles, mini m&ms, & kit kat bits mixed into buttermilk frosting? I’ll take that too!
Okay, I admit I’m not just a chocoholic. I love SWEETS of all sorts! So what really blew me away here? The Strawberries and Champagne Cupcake! I enjoyed all 6 cupcakes we ordered. They were all moist and sweet. Don’t expect the alcohol-​infused cupcakes to have that same strong kick as a properly made Tiramisu. I personally couldn’t taste it. I’m thinking it got burned off during the baking process.
Back to my favorite cupcake here. There’s just something special about the frosting on the Strawberries and Champagne cupcake I cannot pinpoint… only that I Love It! They now offer this cupcake with chocolate frosting but I still Love the Original version! They also offer an assortment of gluten-​free cupcakes but those are out-​sourced from another company.
Located in what looks like the downtown area of Fullerton. There’s a parking lot right across the street from the little shop. We got lucky and found metered street parking almost in front of the store. Service was great. We originally ordered 5 cupcakes but received a discount for the 6^th one. Sure, why not, right?
Bring a few friends with you so you can try the different flavors they have to offer! I know what I’m getting on my next visit. ;)
