Saint Cupcake

I love cupcakes!!! They are my favorite! I’ve been wanting to try Saint Cupcake for a while now… My husband and I passed the location on Belmont and I made him turn around so we could go! He got the fat Elvis and I got the classic yellow with chocolate frosting. Needless to say we were both EXTREMELY disappointed. The consistency of the cupcake was to wet, thick, dense and almost seemed uncooked. When I peeled the wrapper off the cupcake there was a lot of cake stuck to the sides as well due to the wetness of the cake. The price is really high in my opinion as well $ 3.50 for an average/​small cupcake!

My husband got me hooked on Poplandia Popcorn, the Sea Salt Caramel one specifically. I paced myself and went thru the small bag over the span of a few days, but I wanted MORE.
While out and about and using old Unilocal we found out that St. Cupcake creates and sells the Poplandia Popcorn, so we stopped by the Belmont location to stock up,
The Belmont location has a pretty limited supply of both cupcakes and popcorn, but I did manage to snag 2 small bags of the Sea Salt Caramel and one of the Cinnamon Apple Churro (not that great in my opinion). We also picked up a few of their Mini Cupcakes. So far we have tried the Red Velvet and neither of us was a fan, the cupcake itself did not taste like much of anything. I also purchased two of the Salty Captain flavored cupcakes and they were delicious, however even the regular sized cupcakes are on the smallish side.

Today is my friends birthday and we wanted to find a place with delicious cupcakes.
Saint cupcakes did not disappoint us.
Upon walking in we were greeted warmly.
It’s a cute little cupcake shop with random shelves of trinkets and snacks.
The only downside is that there is no place to sit and enjoy your cupcakes so you have to take them to go. You can go to Zuppas across the street for their tables but then you have to purchase something.
I got a small carrot cake cupcake and a small peppermint cupcake. The carrot cake cupcake was delicious. The cake was moist and the frosting wasn’t overly sweet. The peppermint cupcake would have been better if they crushed the candy cane pieces a little bit more because I took a bite and got a chunk of candy cane. But the chocolate cake portion was great.
My friend got the Elvis cupcake and she thought it was super delicious.

I will for sure be back to try more flavors!

We randomly came upon this place while walking in the Belmont District. We were making afternoon coffee + dessert a habit during our Portland road trip, so I thought it would be perfect to get a couple of cupcakes for our coffee pit stop that day. We ended up getting minis of red velvet and carrot cake — two of my favorite flavors. I liked that they were not overly sweet and still had a nice flavor profile — good find! =)

While the cupcakes were good, my experience was marred by the cashier. I had never been to the store before, and was trying to get a feel for the available cupcakes. She impatiently asked how many cupcakes I wanted, and seemed to pressure me with her attitude to get in and get out. She was unwelcoming and did not smile once, or even greet us. The business uses Square, which prompts you for a tip. I hastily picked the lowest option (10%), but wish I had thought to opt for nothing.
No cupcakes (as much as I love them) are worth the bad experience. Won’t be going back (hence the three stars). It’s too bad the cupcakes have to suffer the pretentious hipster attitude.

I came to this location with my best friend on a separate Portland trip. All I can say is thank god for mini’s ’cause we got seriously overwhelmed by the selection of cupcakes. Okay it was me whom got overwhelmed. I stood there for a good 12 minutes before deciding on a treat. So many awesome flavors that my eyes were hungrier than my stomach. I love how they pack the cupcakes in really nice cupcake holder boxes to ensure that they arrive picture perfect on the way home. Cupcake was fluffy. Icing was rich, especially the chocolate based ones.

My friend and I were running behind for a birthday party and Sam kept the shop open late to help us out. Great service and amazing cupcakes. Thank you!

Had a delicious red velvet cupcake. It was moist and had an amazing cream cheese icing. However, the bigger $ 3.50 size is not that big and that seems like a lot for a little cupcake.

Had a pretty amazing experience at this place the other day. Walked in on a whim, just thinking that I deserved a sweet treat after a LONG day. The Salty Captain was the perfect balance of sweet and salty – cake was moist and the frosting was not so sugary.
I HIGHLY recommend this place– plus, getting mini-​cupcakes for $ 1.50? Can’t beat it.
Customer service was amazing, too. The woman working was knowledgeable about ingredients and really explained the flavor profiles, so I could make my perfect pick.
Great work, Saint Cupcake. You guys rock.

WOW! I visited Saint Cupcakes for my first time today, recommended to me by my sister. I bought 5 mini cupcakes and oh my were they good! I got a coconut, salted caramel chocolate, confetti cake, fudge, and lemon ones. My biggest regret was that I didn’t buy 5 of just the lemon one! They were all so moist, and it had the type of frosting you can actually eat. Not that hard stuff. Im not a big frosting person either and I was licking every last bit of frosting off my cupcakes! I will be returning for more of those lemon cakes!!! and to try some of the others too :) I am addicted.

I stop in here, fairly often. I always say I will write a review… and this time it finally is happening. I have never had a bad cupcake, that being said… they are all actually amazing, every flavor. I even tried a vegan cupcake today to compare… and I couldn’t find any difference between the two (except the cream cheese frosting, but it was still divine). The staff are always friendly and conversational. Thanks for making our Star Wars movie night, extra sweet.

Yummy. Really good cupcakes. Wish they could provide prettier container. The plain white box looked dull when I bought for friend’s birthday.

Only place for cupcakes. Moist and yummy and cheap. Buttercream frosting, yes. So good and there’s cream cheese frosting for those lovers. I love how they mix and match vanilla and chocolate like vanilla cupcake chocolate frosting. And all you need is one or two because they’re so good. All are great and you can have minus for $ 1.5 to have more than one without being overwhelmed. Way better than cupcake jones

I am still not a huge fan of Saint Cupcakes. The cake isn’t moist and has a sort of cornmeal taste/​texture to me (grainy) and the frosting is really sweet. I like having a cupcake store closer to me so I do appreciate the new location on Belmont – its convenient to pick up goods for people’s birthday. I don’t love it doesn’t mean other people won’t like them.

Yummy cupcakes and those butterscotch cookies.
Red Velvet and anything with cream cheese icing is money!!!
I am not a big buttercream fan, but the cake part of their cupcakes is yum, yum, yum.
I placed a custom order with 24 hours of our oldest son’s 4^th birthday party and Saint Cupcake said it was no problem.
On time and just want we needed for the shindig.
All party goers enjoyed the sweets!!!

So so soooooo excited this place is open again! I was having an incredibly difficult time finding cupcakes that were as delicious as theirs. Welcome Back Saint Cupcake!

How could I have lived in P-​town all these years and not have visited Saint Cupcake? Well, I guess it’s because I enjoy lying to myself that I’m not eating sugar when I just eat it at home instead. But seriously, I am TRYING these days.
Perhaps the most charming part of our visit to cupcake land was that they have a stool/​shelf they slide out for kids to stand on so they can actually see what’s in the case. The munchkin ahead of us was certainly having a good day!
The counter person was also very cool and fun. Since I’m still trying to rein in my diet I ordered a mini in the Salty Captain flavor, which, of course, prompted my friend to say, «Yeah, you’d like to have a salty captain!»
What can I say? I think I could have a lengthy affair with the salted caramel frosting and then marry it. The cake part was less exhilarating, okay but a bit plain, almost like it was from a mix. But I’ve found it’s par for the course with commercial cakes and it was a good foil for the really intense icing.
On a day when I’ve been good about diet and exercise, I’d be game to try some more flavors, especially the Big Top and the hot chocolate. But who am I kidding? I’d try them all!

Amazingly delicious cupcakes! Just happened to stumble upon this place while we were in the area and so happy we did.
The cupcakes are so moist and flavorful. I can’t say enough about the frostings. I’m not a huge frosting lover as a lot of times it’s just too sweet for me. This frosty is sweet but it’s different. It’s like a velvety sweetness that keeps you coming back for more. They have regular sized cupcakes and then little petite ones, which we opted for so we could try a few more of the delicious flavors. They also have brownies and cookies. Maybe on our next visit we’ll try one of those.
I’m attaching a pic of the cupcakes we choose. From top left to right: Carrot cake, Toasted Coconut and Salted Caramel Captain.
Get here! You won’t be sorry!

Came here on a whim since it was on the way to Stumptown coffee down the block. It accepted debit so I asked about what was most popular. The Salty Captain or Captain Salt is what she recommended. She was right and I don’t regret it. It was so yummy! I also got the Elvis one and that one was OK too. They also sell ice cream and have a back area for trinkets as well.
The store was really cute and the shop owner was really friendly. I would definitely come back if I were to take another vacation this way!

I’m ashamed to admit how many flavors I’ve tried, but we’ll just say I’m a cupcake connoisseur.
One of our clients works here, so he brings us cupcakes pretty often, and we attack those things like a lion pride attacks gazelle.
So ridiculously fluffy and light. The heaviest thing is the chocolate frosting. And not in a bad way.
Saint Cupcake, don’t go. It means I won’t get free cupcakes anymore.
