Gigi’s Cupcakes of Littleton

For my 600^th review, it is appropriate to review Gigi’s cupcakes since I have spent $ 600 dollars here the past couple months.
I used to frequent Small Cakes, but after terrible service time and again I branched out. Gigi’s was there to the rescue.
I found out recently that this is a national chain. I may not be in every state but I’ve seen around. I think my favorite is the raspberry buckle. I just went out of season so unfortunately you won’t be able to try it until next year.
My favorite thing about Gigi’s is the consistent fabulous customer service. They are always friendly and asked me for my rewards number so I get free cake and have a wide variety of perfectly delicious treats.
There cheesecake cupcakes are good, their cream filled cookies are good, they’re gluten-​free cupcakes are good, and so are all the other cupcakes. I really love the wedding cake cupcake and get it almost every time I’m there. They have a few tables in the shop if you want to eat your secret treat before taking the family home a four pack. Overall, Gigi’s and Littleton deserves all five stars. You can find them near Ted’s Montana Grill on Aspen Grove Way and Santa Fe Dr. In the big shopping center where the Alamo movie theater is.
Best cupcakes in Littleton!

Spent over $ 100 on a variety of cupcakes for a Sweet 16 party. The cupcakes were beautiful (as pictured on their website) but the flavors were too rich to enjoy. Many of the guests (teenagers!) threw them out after one bite claiming they were too sweet. The cupcakes were a cute addition to the party, but go somewhere else if you want your guests to actually eat the dessert you serve.

Gigi’s cupcakes is a favorite in my house. Their cake is always moist and rich. Plus they pile their cupcakes high with frosting (almost too much). I have gotten them on multiple occasions and they are always a hit. They look good and taste better.
This one is in Aspen Grove, down towards Ted’s. Lots of parking, easy in and out. Love it!

It’s Gigi’s… need i say more?

We came here today for a couple of cupcakes to go. There was a decent daily selection to choose from and seer ice was pretty quick despite the line.
I tried the Kentucky Bourbon cupcake. The cupcake itself was really dense and packed with chocolate chips and nuts. The buttercream frosting was good but so sweet that I could only eat a couple bites before I had to take a break.
My friend has the Pistachio cupcake and enjoyed it immensely.

Really disappointing. My husband picked up cupcakes for a special little surprise for our daughters and me… he got some Chocolate Salted Caramel, White Midnight Magic, and some Birthday Surprise flavors. The Birthday Surprise flavor was fine — the cake was «fresh-​ish» and the frosting was ok — just a generic grocery-​store grade of buttercream, but with about half the frosting that they show on their cupcakes on the website. I was actually quite fine with the amount of frosting — because how much frosting do you need… but it was just different than our original expectations. So — the Chocolate Salted Caramel ones were NOT good… there is NO way they were baked today — I’m telling you, NO way. It was so dry it was pretty much inedible — so we were left with a pile of sub-​par frosting which tasted far closer to a butterscotch flavor than caramel. My husband had expected to buy their Peanut Butter Cup flavor, as that flavor combination is always his favorite, and they are supposed to bake them on Fridays according to the website — but even though he was there within the first hour of opening on a Friday, he was told that they were not available today but on Saturday instead. What is the point of putting up a schedule of what is available on every day if you just change it and make random selections??? Take the schedule down then so customers don’t count on something you don’t have. That’s just a dumb business practice — if you don’t want to follow franchise rules then don’t open a franchise where people have expectations particular to the franchise — like fresh cupcakes and being able to buy what is listed on a website. We are just thankful that we didn’t get Gigi’s cupcakes for our daughter’s birthday party last month– we got them at Smallcakes because it is closer to our home so we gave them a shot and we are so glad we did. I wasn’t overly impressed with the customer service there, but WOW, the Smallcakes cupcakes were awesome and super fresh! So, for future celebrations and gifts, we will continue to hit up our favorites, The Bundt Shoppe and Smallcakes.

Closed 40 mins before advertised hours. Poor business practice. Otherwise delightful cupcakes (which was originally why I drove 20 mins out of my way to pick some up).

Best gluten free cupcakes I have ever had! I love this place … the staff is friendly, the cupcakes are delicious, and the store is always clean. I have never been «glutenized» by Gigi’s, nor have I ever had a bad experience there. I like their cupcakes so much, I am going to have them provide my wedding cake!

My first experience here was not bad but it was not good either. It was only 1pm and there were not many cupcakes to choose from, the lady behind the counter was nice but not very interactive. The cupcake itself was sickly sweet. I had to take off some of the frosting to try to finish half the cupcake. It is a good cupcake place if you are looking for extremely sweet cupcakes but over all I think there are better cupcake places out there.

I had Gigi’s do the cupcakes and cutting cake for my wedding. They were fantastic. The mini cupcakes were adorable and beautifully set up. Our cake was gorgeous as well and exactly what we wanted. Delivery was seamless and we had no problems. The cupcakes were so good and we had many compliments about them. They were expensive which was my only complaint but worth it I feel! Thanks Gigis for making our day special.

I have celiac, so I go there for their gluten free cupcakes. They taste just like real ones! They’re absolutely delicious. However, there is a lot of icing, which I’m not a fan of. There is icing for at least 2 cupcakes. The price is rather steep for a cupcake, but it is worth it.

I ordered 155 $ worth of cupcakes a few days in advance and had a set pick up time for my order as it had to be to an event. I showed up a bit early and was told it wasn’t ready and to give them 30 mins. This wasn’t a huge deal because I was there 20mins early. I came back after a half an hour and was left waiting another almost 40 mins. Had I known they were going to have me wait over an hour I would have gotten some things done in that time but not only was my order ready 40 min late but I was also quoted a wait time that wasn’t even close. The woman at the counter wasn’t very friendly. I felt like I had inconvenienced her and sat feeling guilty even though I was the one receiving poor service. I even mentioned I migjt want to buy a single cupcake to eat while I waited for my large order and the woman said, «you have five of those in your order.» Well, the cupcakes I was picking up were a gift. I was not going to eat any of them. She rudely walked away with out taking the 20 seconds it would have taken to hand me the single cupcake and print my receipt. Because the cupcakes were so late I then was late to my drop off time. The person I was to meet had gone to lunch and I ended up waiting an hour to drop the cupcakes off because of the error by Gigi’s. I can’t comment on the taste of the cupcakes because I didn’t eat one but I would never plan an event around them again. Service was bad an they can’t deliver on time. I do not recommend them

I got the best gluten free cupcake ever at the Littleton Store– any chance of Gigi’s coming to The Boulder County area? You would do very well here.

Im embarrassed to say that it has taken me 6mos to finally write this review, but seeing undercover boss tonight with the person that started up Gigis reminded me i was remiss!
My daughter and her now husband were married aug 2014. As she lived out of town, we had to wait for a weekend she would home at which time we scheduled 6 diff appts. We knew exactly what we wanted… they were going to be the cupcakes to die for, the ones all our guests would remember and oooh and ahhhh about. After 5 places, we had narrowed it down to the place we liked at least one of the cupcakes that would be memorable… who knew it was possible to find a place that was THE one! Until we walked into Gigis in Littleton, CO… and were brought a tray, we knew! Oh my gosh, that first bite of the strawberry shortcake… exactly what we were looking for. Just the right amount of frosting, the creamiest, yummiest and moistest morsel we ever had!
We made our order… but who would have that the cupcakes and their presentation would arrive and be everything — and more — than we had hoped for! When the decorations/​set up was complete, the cupcakes added to its overall beauty! By far the absolute best decision to have gone with Gigis and ive not stopped verbally recommending them! Though our guests also still havent stopped raving about them as well!
Thank you for making our daughter and son-​in-​laws day so wonderful!

Overpriced, tasted really plain
Personal was really unfriendly
Would never come back

Normally I love cupcakes but recently I have had horrid service here. I have been in several times and the person working the counter just acts mad that you are troubling them with your business. Not to mention if you choose to brave the bad attitudes in here you better go early. The last two times I have been in after 5pm and the cupcakes were already stale. If I am going to buy something at full price I would prefer it to be fresh, or if they are not ideal sell them at a discounted price. I will not be returning after this.

Ordered four cupcakes to eat in store with the family this weekend. Great flavors and cake was moist and yummy, but there is a bit too much icing. Price for a cc seems a bit high, but they sure are yummy! I live in south Aurora, so this is quite a drive, but we will be back.

These cupcakes are to die for!!! They are absolutely delicious. I’ve now tried the lemon, double chocolate, chocolate chip cookie, strawberry, red velvet and birthday cake. They are expensive for cupcakes but you get your moneys worth as 1 could feed 3 people. There’s a large amount of extra frosting on top of each cake and it is AMAZING.

Gigi’s had a new food truck and they are now coming to my place of work one a week! Today I tried the Chocolate Salted Caramel flavor. Gotta agree with the other Unilocalers that the icing is over the top both literally and figuratively (the guy had to warn me to hang on tight unless I wanted my top-​heavy cupcake to topple!). The icing is super sweet too — I took about 5 hours to slowly nibble at it because it was making my teeth hurt.
That being said, the flavors were all excellent. The icing tasted just like a caramel square and the chocolate cake was rich and moist. I’ll be back for more the next time my sweet tooth strikes!

Came here for my birthday and fell in love with the frosting! Great cupcakes! Lots of flavors to choose from.

So I was vising from out of town and wanted a really great cupcake on my trip. I searched on the web and found Gigi’s in Littleton, CO. I stopped in after work, so it was close to, or after 5pm. There weren’t many cupcakes left, but I got as big a variety as I could. I spent $ 35 – 40 on a big box for my coworkers the next day, but tried two that night. Both cupcakes were very dry. Too dry. Just nothing really to recommend about them besides their visual aesthetic apeal. The next day, I tried a couple more and the only one in the entire box that wasn’t *too* dry was the blackberry cobbler. *That* cupcake was fantastic. The berries baked into it kept the cupcake moist.
I realize I bought the cupcakes late in the day, but if they’re no good by the afternoon, don’t sell them. It was a bit of a drive from where I was staying, and I would definitely not come here again. I’ve talked to other people who know about cupcakes and they confirmed they’ve heard Gigi’s is known for being dry.
I am sad.

I have been coming to this location since 2012 and I really enjoy the cupcakes here they are warm and friendly and very wholesome you almost feel like you stepped into your mother’s or grandma’s kitchen.

Tried 3x. Nothing earth-​shattering to share except that I’m giving up on this store.
This last visit, I ordered a 4-​pack. All were pretty but the cake part is too dense and sweet, and the frosting was just icky. The flavor was sleepy. The texture — what is that? It’s not really buttery and quite oily. Had to refrigerate one cupcake since no one wanted to eat it. It was rock solid in the morning so you really just need to buy what you are going to be sure to consume that day. We tried the cookie dough, red velvet, apple, and white wedding. $ 16.
Still hunting for a new spot. Very sad about this!

My husband surprised me with Gigi’s cupcakes after I had requested that he go find some dessert for me… now! He came back with a pretty pink box and two beautifully presented cupcakes.
One was cheesecake in disguise– it was my favorite of the two because it wasn’t too sugary sweet, had rich chocolate icing, and a creamy texture. The other cupcake, chocolate with white frosting, was very good, but the frosting was piled so high that it overwhelmed the moist cake.
Sometimes I try to bake when we have people over, but I think I will try Gigi’s from now on!

The boyfriend has had this on his secret place list on places to take me and we just happened to be driving back this way after taking my pup to the Chattfield Dog park.
He has great taste, he knows I love new places and like sweet things.
This place is sort of towards the back of a big shopping plaza so be sure to look for if you’re having one those «I can’t find it» moments.
There was a huge line so it felt like the secret was out and we were late to the party. I was perusing the cupcakes and thinking of the one I wanted. I would mention that you should probably come on the earlier side since some of the flavors were running low.
We decided on three cupcakes, Strawberry Lemonade, Grasshopper, and the Chocolate Covered Cherry. They were all delectable and super moist. Perfectly placed in an adorable cupcake box.
I can agree with the previous Unilocalers that the frosting ration was a bit much. I would’ve liked a little less icing. I ran out of cupcake before icing — sadness.
If you like great flavors and differing flavors daily this place is for you. They offer a great variety every day for our differing tastes.
