About The Cupcake Shoppe

The Cupcake Shoppe has operated at 104 Glenwood Avenue in Raleigh for more than fifteen years, building a reputation as one of the city's original boutique bakeries. Everything is baked from scratch each morning, starting with cupcakes in rotating daily flavors that change frequently enough that regulars return specifically to see what's new that week. Beyond cupcakes, the bakery turns out celebration cakes for birthdays and weddings, pastries, brownies, and cookies, along with seasonal specialties like ice cream sandwiches and homemade marshmallows that appear throughout the year. The shop also accommodates dietary needs with vegan and gluten-free options baked alongside its standard offerings, so groups with mixed preferences can still order from the same counter. Alongside the baked goods, The Cupcake Shoppe runs a full cafe program, serving locally roasted coffee and espresso drinks to customers who linger on the patio or grab something to go. The bakery takes custom orders for weddings, birthdays, and other events, and offers catering for larger gatherings, making it a resource for both everyday treats and planned celebrations. It's open Monday through Saturday, with weekday hours from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and extended hours until 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays; the shop is closed on Sundays except for scheduled private parties. Customers can also order through delivery services like DoorDash. Having earned a following as one of Raleigh's earliest dedicated cupcake bakeries, the shop has kept its scratch-baking approach consistent even as it expanded into full cafe service and event catering.
