I would really love to give Queens cups a 5 star review because I once had a GF chocolate chip cookie sandwich here that I’d punch an old lady for but that was probably 5 or more years ago + they haven’t had them since. I paid an astronomical amount of money for my graduation cakes from Queens + it tasted like a wheat cake with frozen strawberries. I’m a pretty decent baker + if I had known the cake was going to be that awful, I would’ve just made one myself. I have had maybe two really amazing cupcakes from them but I’ve probably had maybe 10-15 cupcakes over the years + those were the only two good ones. It’s very hit or miss, but I’d say they’re maybe 95% a miss for me. It’s just not worth it in my opinion knowing I can follow an Ina Garten recipe + it comes out so much better.

Phenomenal place! They have a small collection of gluten free options daily and the flavors change constantly. Definitely the go-to GF dessert spot of Worcester.

The advertise having many gf options but all they had was a vanilla cupcake with chocolate frosting and some no bake protein balls. The cupcake was dense and dry and the protein balls were nothing special. Not worth the 45 minute drive we took to get there.

Lovely gf/vegan cupcake! They also sell gf chocolate chip sandwiches that were gorgeous, but not vegan. Not sure if those contain both dairy and eggs or just one.

I’ve had great cupcakes and cookies from here. Not a big selection, but definitely delicious. For the people crying about the cupcakes being vegan, relax. It’s not all about you - they are trying to accommodate other allergies too.

I have tried their GF cupcakes on four different occasions and the cupcakes are not good! All their GF cupcakes are also Vegan(why)? They are dry and tasteless! The GF cupcakes at bean counter are better!

Prior to being diagnosed with celiac I loved this place, but now that I can only eat their GF cupcakes I do not like it at all. Sadly, all their gluten-free cupcakes are all vegan. Their "cupcakes" taste more like corn bread.

I’ve had cupcakes that are gluten-free from this place many times with no problem, but just recently I had a chocolate chip cookie from there that made me so sick. The cookie was labeled gluten-free. It either wasn’t or with his cross contaminate it before it was packaged. I called and let the manager know and she apologized but didn’t really make me feel settled that they could prevent such a thing from happening in the future. Her words were “I understand how that could happen as were not completely gluten-free facility”.

As much as I liked this place before I don’t think I’ll be going back. It doesn’t seem safe for celiac.

Cupcakes are so dry. My mother even tried the regular (non-GF) cupcakes a couple times and each time they were so dry. The concept is great.
