Gigi’s Cupcakes of Savannah

Man, go early or some flavors will be sold out. 1^st time here and tried the coconut caramel cupcake. Omg, it was delicious, moist and had pieces of coconut mixed into the cake they’re also huge and can easily be split b/​t 2 people. I would return to try other flavors.

I’ve only been here once!
I got the traditional vanilla cupcake (it’s their most popular one, I believe). I devoured it. I thought it was amazing.
My husband got the peanut butter cookie sandwich, and he didn’t care for it that much. It wasn’t BAD, but it wasn’t what he was expecting.

I am a super fan of the GiGi’s brand, but the cake at this location is super dry and fails to live up to expectations every time.
The icing is not as «Wow» as other GiGi’s shops, but it is okay. Just don’t go in expecting your old favorite from your local shop in North Georgia or Tennessee to taste the same here.
I would recommend instead ordering the cheesecakes, which are on point. They get a two because the chocolate cheese cake is just that good.

Deliciousss! I’ve been to dozens of cupcake places in several cities and Gigi’s tops my list! I crave these cupcakes! I’m in their frequent buyers club (free cupcakes!). I’m there at least once a week and I’m never dissapointed. They have some creative flavors but I usually get either the Wedding Cake, champagne or Strawberry. Fluffy, moist, pretty and always a generous portion. The frosting is piled on so I usually scoop off ¾ths of it but the cupcakes are so delectable that this doesn’t even matter to me. Fyi the DC cupcake shop that’s on TV isn’t half as good as Gigi’s. Love this place, so happy to have it in Savannah. I would die without them.

On friday’s, Gigi’s features one Gluten Free flavor. I think the best i’ve had was the smores — marshmallow frosting and a deep rich dark chocolate cake.
Cupcakes and customer service aside, when asked if they had a recycling bin to dump the cupcake boxes, we were told to dump everything in the trash. =/

I didn’t have a good experience when I visited Gigi’s in Savannah last September. I went back this week and was pleasantly surprised. I was greeted promptly and the person that helped us was sweet and knowledgeable. The store was clean and well organized. There were many cupcakes to choose from. I selected four and all of them were moist and delicious. I will be coming back.

The reason I’m giving this place 5 stars isn’t based on the taste of the cupcakes. The cupcakes are wonderful, they have different flavors everyday of the week & also they have seasonal flavors as well. See a cupcake you want but you’re afraid it’ll be sold out by the time you get there no problem simply call and they’ll sit them aside for you. If you like frosting then this is the place for you because the frosting here is a mile high which some like & others think it’s overkill. The real reason this place gets five stars is because of the owner, she’s a charitable person and gives away cupcakes to a lot of nonprofit places like the Girl-​scouts. That alone should make you want to stop by, it’s great to see business helping out and being involved in the local community.

The prices are reasonable, great for a wedding and the cupcakes were pretty AND taste delicious, not to sweet!

I can make better from a box mix, and canned frosting… Cupcake dry and frosting so sickening sweet you go into a diabetic coma from one bite…$ 3 is a bit much for a cupcake when a box mix is only 1.50 and you can get 24 cupcakes from that.

Sometimes I need to stuff my feelings with food. One of those such times resulted in a visit to Gigi’s since I didn’t want to fight downtown traffic crowds and parking to go to Sweet Carolina’s.
I often drive by Gigi’s, but I’d never stopped in since it’s a chain and I figured there cupcakes probably wouldn’t be great. I’m very happy to say I was wrong.
I ordered the Kentucky Bourbon Pie Cupcake– it wasn’t really cake like, it had a texture more like banana bread but the taste was amazing! So Yummy!

A two star review, just because cupcakes in general are good…
First, the staff here is kind of snobby. We were in on ¼ and ¹⁄₅ and both visits had staff making us feel like we were bothering them. I’m sorry I didn’t know what kind of cupcake I wanted before I came in. Mid afternoon the selection is rather deplete, although that could be understandable.
These are just standard cupcake size with a lot of frosting… nothing special except different flavors. But these are pretty overpriced for what you get. I’ve been to some places where you get a large yummy cupcake for $ 3.
Just not great and definitely not a good value.

Went to Gigi’s today. Cupcakes were nice size. Definitely not the standard size you get back home. These are what we consider jumbo sized. But omg how much frosting can one cupcake take. I love frosting but sheeeeeesh this was wayyyyy too much.
To the cake. As I opened the wrapper the smell was Delish (I had the apple pie). But then I tried just the cupcake. And it lacked soooo much flavor.
Then I tried the frosting and wooooow. Sooooo sweet. And it was supposed to be cinnamon cream Chese. But all I could taste was sugar sugar and more sugar.
Then the combo. Cupcake and frosting thats when it all made sense. It was like a ying and yang. The frosting provides the sweetness that the cake is missing. But still it’s too much frosting.
Took some cheesecakes with us (that I haven’t tried yet). And a stuffed oatmeal cookie. Which I tried earlier and it was yummy. Perfect ratio of cookie to frosting.
Kids must love this place because of the excess of frosting. But I would never have that much frosting.
The scarlet red velvet cupcake was ok (a bit dry) but lacked a bit of flavor. But again when combined w the frosting it was much better.

You get delicious and big portioned cupcakes for around $ 3. They have different flavors available on certain days. Our kids love to go here. My favorite is the hunka chunka banana cupcake. My least favorite was the midnight magic. Nice place to take a stop for good dessert.

Cakes are super soft here, can be sort of dry.
Key lime cupcake had decent frosting, but the wafers lining the sides were too soft, borderline mushy.
Margarita cupcake was terrible. Didn’t taste like one. Cake was okay. Frosting was flavorless.
They pile the frosting on HIGH. More of that than actual cake. If you love your frosting, you’ll be in heaven. If not, then grab a utensil and scoop some icing you wasted your money on, off.
We had to drive here. Was a bit out of the way as a tourist staying by the river. Never would have checked this place out without a car.

I call these foo foo cupcakes. They look pretty with the cute boxes and mile high icing swirls but the actual cake of the cupcake was just ok. They are also pretty pricey at $ 3 a cupcake.

Daily specials? Wow! Repeat customer cards? That too. Deals on dozens? You bet.
Yes I am a fan. The cupcakes rock. They have personality. They have style and they have WAY TOO much icing. Just the way a cupcake should be.
The cake was moist and delicious. The icing had lots of flavor. (Be careful you may break your sweet tooth on one.) I liked the Summer Fun best.
I loved treating my family to just one each and then taking them home to do laps in our pool due to the calories and that sugar high the kids get. Ahhhh good times, thanks GiGi.

I ate here for my first time last week with my family. It was my first time at a cupcake bakery so I was pretty excited. The cupcakes were at least 4“tall they had so much frosting! They looked amazing, picture perfect. I thought we would be able to eat our individual cupcakes no problem, but we could only eat half each. I thought they were a bit too indulgent. I think it’d be better if they had mini cupcakes as well. Definitely a great place to try if you have a serious sweet tooth.

I hate to be the kill-​joy review here, but having recently visited Georgetown Cupcakes (
) in DC, these cupcakes left me wanting.
My experience with Gigi’s wasn’t totally bad. Gigi’s shop was wonderfully designed. It certainly heighten my expectations for their cupcakes. Gigi’s has a very modern interior and an area off to the side for those who wish to eat-​in. Secondly, the icing on the cupcakes were wonderfully favored. The dream-​cicle icing was actually flavored with orange zest, which is a nice touch.
Sadly, the icing was piled on nearly as high as the actual cupcake itself, which caused those who were trying the cupcakes with me to scrape off nearly 75% of the icing prior to consuming it. Although wrapped up in nice box, in the two hours from purchase to consumption the bulked up icing slid off the cupcakes and on to the other cupcakes causing a mess and a bizarre potpourri of flavors. Finally, and worst of all, the cupcake itself was dry, stiff and bland, not spongy and tasty. It seemed to me that the excessive icing was trying to hide the less than appealing cupcake.
Two suggestions for Gigi’s would be to try a new recipe for the cupcake itself and secondly, don’t apply so much icing and apply it only at the point of sale, which is the method Georgetown Cupcakes employs.
I’ll be sure to give Gigi’s a try the next time I’m in town…

The cupcakes are moist, full of flavor and plenty of buttercream frosting. Simply scrumtious. They have a wide variety of flavors. The boxes are A 1. There are slots in the bottom to keep your cupcakes perfect for the ride home. Only thing is that they only have certain flavors on certain days. However, they taste homemade and the price is very reasonable for top quality.
I will be going back for more.

I realize this place is a chain but these are some good cupcakes. They are also decently priced at $ 3 compared to some of the other high end cupcake places around Savannah and Hilton Head when you compare the size, the amount of labor it takes to make them (they’re heavily decorated) and the quality of ingredients. Plus they have super cute packaging. $ 18 for a half dozen in a very cute box makes a really nice gift!
I bought a dozen in a variety of flavors and tried a bite of several. They’re big enough to cut in two or even three if you want to sample several with other people. My favorite was the S’mores but we also tried wedding cake (least favorite, it was good but not very special), banana pudding (very yummy), Mellow Cream (a way better version of a Hostess Cup Cake), White Midnight Magic (delish) and Southern Comfort (pretty heavy just like pecan pie so you def want to share this one, it’s very good). Still have several others to try but they all look amazing.
I’ll definitely be a repeat customer!
