I live in Napa but just tried Kara’s for the 1st time. I am always happy for vegan options as they are oddly hard to find here. We split the one vegan option which was chocolate/chocolate. The cake part was moist and light. I didn’t love the flavor though. The frosting on the other hand was a hard rock on top. If you let it melt in your mouth it’s actually smooth, not gritty which is good. However it was not good enough to even finish. So at $5 for a small not very nice “treat” I’d pass. I can’t speak to the other cupcakes but this was my experience.
I literally dream about this place! I usually buy a couple of cupcakes and sit down at Bar Lucia and have cupcakes and frosé!!! I recomment the S'mores cupcake!!
The Wine Trail cupcake was the best out of the 4 we tried.
I purchased 96 cupcakes to take to work which was very expensive and the manager and girl working refused to give me the amount of napkins needed for each cupcake purchased in order to hand 1 to each person. They stood there and argued with me tryung to provide plates in its place when they clearly had napkins. They had only placed 12 napkins in the bag. I explained that plates dont clean your fingers and that I needed more napkins to provide with the 96 cupcakes. After all, I brought my business to their business instead of purchasing at Sift and another bakery...... BIG MISTAKE!!!!!! The ladies were extremely rude and would not let me speak to the owner after asking multiple times. I will never co.e back to this establishment and will share with all the moms out there to spend their money at Sift. To All who may be wanting to buy cupcakes for their staff members or a party stay away from this place. Go to Sift Dessert Bar Cupcakes by Whole Foods or Sweeties cupcakes where your purchases as a customer will be truly appreciated. Cupcakes aren't cheap so going somewhere where you are welcomed is the place to go. Customer service is highly lacking here. Spend your hard earned money where you will be appreciated.....anywhere but here.
THE BEST CUPCAKES! I am a cupcake lover so I have tried many during my lifetime. At Kara's I tasted the vanilla, lemon and passion fruit cupcakes. They were all delicious but passion fruit was my favorite. I visited two days in a row. The first day I bought two cupcakes and the next day I went back and ordered four. I wish I lived closer to Kara's or that they shipped nationwide . I will definitely visit the next time I am in town.
I can only hope that the cupcakes taste better than the whole cakes. I picked my cake up this past Sunday & was so excited… possibly the worst cake I’ve ever had. The actual cake is so dry and dense… I’m assuming they don’t simple syrup the cakes after baking them for added moisture ♂️ the crumb is also horrible. It’s like brittle. Frosting is the only edible thing on the cake honestly… after 2 slices I threw the cake in the trash because the actual cake is that horrible
Kara’s cupcakes are delicious and are worth every penny. I recommend the s’more cupcakes and the vanilla cupcake with the chocolate frosting. I really enjoyed the cupcakes and recommend stopping by for dessert. However, the customer service is lacking. The girl who was working didn’t seem like she wanted to interact with anyone. I almost felt like I was interrupting her.
First time definitely not the last nice smooth order process and each option is harder to pick from. Located in Oxbow Market. Walk up that ramp n they on the left when you enter.
Meh. Expensive cupcake that fell out of the box. Frosting was way too heavy, sugary and rich. Not enough cupcake. Nothing special. Service was odd and judgmental.
Disappointed. No vegan cupcakes
