Sophie Sophia

This is an updated review.
I used to love this little tiny place. My husband and I used to go there on Saturdays after going to the gym. However, they started «by appointment only». Recently, we contacted them for some reward points that we had for a while to redeem some cupcakes. We tried to find out their business hours on a Thursday afternoon via calling (no answer) and visiting the site (the site was down).
Now we are just going to simply forget about this place and update the awesome review that I put a while ago.

OK, I need to revise my review now. Businesses change, but so should the reviews.
This one changed for the worse. We’ve been huge fans of this place for a couple of years now. At this point, we’ve racked up two dozen reward points, which equals 2 free cupcakes.
But now their business model changed. They don’t accept walk-​ins. You now need to make an «appontment» in order to get your cupcakes.
And what about the 2 free cupcakes we are entitled to? Well, there’s a 12-​cupcake minimum per order. Which translates to: we’re not getting our free loyalty cupcakes. Good way too piss in the face of your loyal fans. FAIL.

How do I describe SS in a nutshell? A+ for effort, B for cupcakes, but your average Jersey City dessert looks more like a D, so why not. This is a cute little cupcake shop that is conveniently located around the corner and gives off a good vibe. I’m a little more a mixed bag on the cupcakes. I was wow’ed by choices like the French Toast, oozing with flavors of cinnamon and maple, or the Pecan Carrot. On the other hand, I’ve had some disappointments like the Almond Crunch (just way too overwhelmed with the almond extract or flavoring it was loaded with), or the PB (Not enough peanut butter flavor). At the end of the day, it is still around the corner so once in a blue moon, I will probably still pop in to go with what I know I like. The main downfall I found was the texture of the cake — I like a nice, smaller, dense buttery cupcake, while the cupcakes at Sophie Sophia feel more like a cake mix — very fluffy, larger, fall apart easier, etc…

Really though, for the sake of my waist line and the upcoming beach season, I should stop coming here. But no puedo. I’ve tasted a lot of cupcakes in my aspiring fat kid days but these are by far some of the best. The Sophie vanilla on vanilla cupcake alone is enough to keep me coming back for more, again and again.

I was craving cupcakes and really wanted to check out sprinkles cupcake store but decided not to go into the city and deal w the traffic especially on St Patrick’s day and so I found this place close enough.
The reviews are right they are expensive I purchased 2 coffees and 6 cupcakes n they came out to $ 29. I got the red velvet which was nice the cupcake was moist and the the icing was just right but it didn’t blow me away. Sorry. I had the buttercream cupcake and it was nice however I ate the whole thing including all of the frosting n it kinda made me sick lol. I advised my bf not to eat the whole frosting its a little much.
The staff is nice and I like the location go check it out if your looking for a quick sweet fix.

Cuppy cakes were delish and customer service was AMAZING! I went here after reading some reviews to get some cupcakes for my boyfriends birthday. I was anxious to get him (and try myself!) the PB&J after reading about them — well, they didn’t have any on that particular day. :(I expressed my disappointment but since it was last minute, I was still planning to buy a dozen. TO MY SURPRISE — they volunteered to whipped some up for me! It was early and they had them done in a short time! The reviews were spot on! VERY YUMMY!!! I ended up leaving with other flavors too and they were all a huge hit! Little pricey but in my experience — worth every penny! Cheers!

Loooove their cupcakes here! Had it at a friends bday party & i kept trying different kinds and they were all amazing. Moist, light & fluffy frosting. Just yummy. And here i thought i was getting tired of cupcakes. Lol

Wonderful cupcakes. Beautifully decorated and impossible to resist. Now, why the hell don’t they sell layer cake slices or bar pastries? Yes, it’s a little space, but its big enough to offer more. C’mon guys… learn from Billy’s, Two Little Red Hens, and Magnolia. You guys possibly have better stuff then all of them, but you need to bring it with the selections. Cupcakes and cookies aren’t enough to be truly amazing.

It saddens me to write about a place that used to be my absolute fav in JC. It used to be the best cupcake in town, or probably ever, anywhere. Then something changed. The cupcakes now taste like box cakes, the icing is too sweet, and the cupcakes are smaller than they used to be. What happened Sophie Sophia? I recently called in an order, as I wanted to make sure they would have enough for a party I was going to. I was told each dozen cupcakes had to be the same, so I could not reserve a mix of cupcakes. What is that about?! Sad, sad day!

Best little piece of cup-​goodness I’ve had in JC… no joke! It doesnt matter what kind you get… peanut butter and jelly, cookie dough, cake, Red Velvet… Holy b-​jesus!

Seriously… bacon maple cupcakes! Or maybe they were called breakfast cupcakes or something to that effect. But it was amazing. Also had a lemon one which was pretty good and a smores I think. Also pretty delicious. I tried to stock up on the mini ones so I don’t have to feel like a fatty eating all the large ones by myself. :)

Sickly sweet. Cloyingly sugary. Not for me.
Edit:I am adding 1 star because their little chocolate chip cookies were delicious. Expensive, but delicious.

I live close by and I have a four year old son whose treat for the week is the classic cupcake! He loves them! I purchased his birthday cake from here, a truck design. Everyone at his birthday party raved about the cake! A few of the locals insisted it was better than Carlos Bakery. I’ve never had a Carlos cake so I can’t really comment.

I love this place! I’m so excited about an amazing bakery being in Jersey City. It’s right next to Hamilton Square Park, and makes an amazing pick-​me-​up before going to the dog park. The staff is friendly, sweet and very helpful. The owner graduated from the same Culinary School as me in New York City. The inside is small, clean and bright. It’s very modern and adorable.
Their cupcakes were all fresh. I tried the PB&J and the Chocolate Vanilla. The vanilla icing had real vanilla beans in it which is very impressive. The cake of both cupcakes were moist. The PB&J was really delicious and had a bit of texture from peanut pieces in the icing.
I loved their chocolate-​cherry-​pistachio scone cookies. These were DELICIOUS. Chewy and full of flavor. Their Mint Lemonade was also fresh and refreshing. Can’t wait to come back. Also, their cakes are absolutely beautiful, unfortunately I wouldn’t order one because I’m a Pastry Chef so I’m always forced to make everyones cakes myself, but if I wasn’t, I would!

Had a cupcake — pretty good. To be honest, what more can I say about cupcakes?

Red Velvet cupcake that MELTS in your mouth in an insanely cute little store.
Do Not Miss It.
You’re welcome.

Holy crap! This place is great! Diabetics beware! This place is alittle pricey but these cupcakes are so good. Like get frosting all over my beard and not wipe it off cause Im saving it for later good. Thank God I dont live near this place because I would be broke, fat, and happy. Can’t wait to go back.
By the by I went back and tried some more of their cupcakes the next week. It’s a good thing my mother was with me and made me save them for the dinner party we were having that night. I would have probably wolfed down all six in front of the nice woman who owns the joint. Good for business bad for image. Still five stars wish I could give six.

My wife and I have the great pleasure of being the next door neighbors– so I guess my review is a little biased, but I don’t care. Their stuff is AMAZING! It’s fresh and delicious. They also made the coolest designer cake for my friend’s baby shower. Try any of the cupcakes, but a couple of my favorites are the Peanut Butter (yowsers!), cookies and cream, and the breakfast one with bacon! There’s seating inside as well if you’re like me and the cupcakes won’t make it home and you can just sit down and gobble them up.

First to review. Awww yeah. I thought this place just opened but, little did I know they have been open on Saturdays for a while. They are now open regularly with hours posted. This place is good. I’m talking about legit over the counter cupcakes. Fresh, fancy, and most of all delectable.
The cupcakes are expensive at $ 3 a piece so, this ain’t no cheap endeavor. You are payin’ for these bad boys and for the most part I think they deserve that $ 3 price tag. I ordered the s’more, pb&j and chocolate chip cupcakes for my bf’s moms bday lunch. They had a nice variety of about 7 different cupcake flavors that changes daily with a few regular staples. They also sell mini cupcakes by the box for about $ 13 (don’t hold me to that price).
So cupcake time: I didn’t like the s’more cupcake but, the other two were amazing. I especially want to highlight the PB&J. Holy moly it was delicious. You could really taste this amazing peanut butter crème like awesomeness with hints of sweet jelly. ‘Twas memorable. They have a great cupcake frequenter card too; like a buy 12 and get one free type deal (yeah baby). They have coffee and expresso, so you can sit and enjoy your cupcake and a cup of coffee (anyone wanna do some office hours here with me? Yes puhlease). They do custom orders for both cupcakes and for cakes (peep their cakes on their website, they get pretty creative).
So, I’m not gonna lie and tell you all I’m this baked goods goddess, ’cause I’m not. But, I am going to tell you for this ‘hood, these are some of the best damn cupcakes you gonna get. Head to Hamilton Park grab a cupcake, go for a walk and enjoy Jersey City.
