Craig and I went to Bliss Cupcake Shop today to try it out. Good thing we had a coupon and got two for the price of one. The cupcakes aren't horrible, they just aren't as good as Saint Cupcake (see previous post for links to their sites). I compare the two, because Bliss' cupcakes are similar to Saint's cupcakes in looks and style.
But that is where the similarity ends.
Bliss' cupcakes really aren't that much better than what you get at a grocery store. The cake was dry. They also had a ice cream section that was bigger than the cupcake section, which took the spotlight off of the cupcakes. And it wasn't homemade, just Tillamook brand. Both Craig and I got the "large" cupcake, but his was smaller than mine (more like a medium).
The ambiance is bare and boring, with no decor to speak of. The customer service was okay, but I sensed some impatience while we were deciding what flavors we wanted. Everyone behind the counter seemed scattered and lost. This may be because they just opened a few weeks ago.
This is the difference between Bliss and Saint Cupcake; with Bliss, I don't want anymore when I am done, while with Saint, I want to eat the whole box and more.
Saint Cupcakes is about a 20 minute drive from us, and I think it's worth it to get the better (and slightly cheaper) cupcake when we want a treat.
