Ok these cupcakes seem pretty pricey ($3.00 for one, $34 for a dozen) but if you did a good deed for the day and want to get rewarded, this definitely hits the spot. These cupcakes are bigger than normal and definitely tastier. I got the glutten-free grasshopper mint thinking it may not taste very good because of the “glutten free” part but it was surprisingly very tasty. I decided to buy a dozen for work and they were all very grateful. The texture was pretty moist but the original flavors really hit the spot. My faves are the chocolate peanut butter, lemon zest and the chocolate passion. They are also very pretty to look at.

It was well worth the wait. My sisters brought me a present from Swirlz Cupcakes. OMG. I love it!!!

They brought me a box of six cupcakes:
Red Velvet
Carrot
Vanilla Pistachio
Chocolate Peanut Butter
Vanilla
Bittersweet Chocolate

There’s not one that I didn’t like. The frosting was so good and buttery. The cake was delicious and moist. I was in cupcake heaven when I was sampling all of these. They looked so pretty too. I wish I thought of taking a picture of them all.

If I ever visit or pass through Chicago, I’m definitely dropping by Swirlz. :o)

it’s $3 per cupcake, but they’re so pretty and enticing that a treat now and then seems reasonable. it’s an unassuming small bakery cafe on a side street, and i’ll definitely make a return trip when i feel like splurging and indulging my sweet tooth.

I give Swirlz 5 stars. The overpriced cupcakes sure made my day once or twice last winter, and that’s saying something. As someone else said: these are the ultimate reward. Yum.

The best cupcakes in the city of chicago.
