Crave Cookies and Cupcakes Aspen Landing

I always pop in for a couple dozen crave cupcakes when I visit Calgary from out of province. I noticed that unfortunately they have started to make these cupcakes smaller than before. I hope this isn't a cost saving tactic. Paying a premium for a good quality cupcake only to discover the size getting smaller. Very disappointing.

Delicious cupcakes, nicely presented. Tried a new pretzel topped icing flavor and it is my new favorite.The customer service could improve. Otherwise, a good spot in the west side for a sweet treat.

I was very disappointed with the quality of the cupcakes I bought on my way home from work today as a special treat for dessert. The frosting was exceptionally firm and the cupcakes were very dry - in fact hard on the top edges. Certainly not what i would expect for a $4.50 cupcake. Im surprised that they were sold to a customer - i should have been advised they were not fresh an would i like other selections that are. Can't say i will be back.

I’ve been a long time customer of this location but started coming here more frequently the last few months. I’m honestly surprised by all the negative reviews and will just say that I’ve recently visited a few times on a whim and also pre-ordered cupcakes, and all times I’ve have been happy with the product.The 4-star rating is because while Crave is probably THE original cupcake place in Calgary, it’s not my favourite. I love their red velvet, dark angel, and I enjoy their seasonal cupcakes like the recent Viva Puff cupcake, but I find the icing to cake balance a bit off (a bit too much icing), and so the cupcake is a bit too sweet.Cupcakes, and most other baking, dry out in Calgary very quickly, unfortuantely. I’ve left Crave ones out overnight in the box (which you’re not supposed to), and while they were a bit crusty, they were still very good. I don’t fault the business for this and blame our climate as I have the same issue with my own baking.I think this is a good solid choice if you need a dozen mini or regular sized cupcakes. They also do a gender reveal cupcake which I think is actually my favourite - somehow, the icing is much less sweet and overall much tastier. I also enjoy their seasonal carrot cake cupcake and wish that were a permanent item.

Absolutely awful customer service today. I can’t imagine we will ever purchase from this location again, I will be sending an email detailing exactly the type of service we were provided. I hope in future, you can train your staff, on respect, patience, lying, avoiding condescending attitude and overall how to provide a decent attitude. 2 girl staff members in particular today around 1-130 pm showed the exact opposite to all of the above, so rude!P.s this is coming from a person who used to regularly buys cupcakes from here…

BEST CUPCAKES IN CALGARY!! Their icing is unbelievably sweet and light, what dreams are made of. Cupcakes are not *that* overpriced when you take into account the size and quality. All of the flavours here are sure to impress... Makes a great little gift to bring over to someone's house

Crave is by far my favourite cup cake place in Calgary. Having grown up in here, they hold a special place in my heart. Whenever I am away from home for awhile, one of the first stops when I come back to town is Crave to get the original crave-o-licious cupcake! After coming here for years I am leaving this review now because I googled them to check what I could order for my sisters bridal shower, and wanted to leave this review for anyone looking for an unforgettable cupcake in Calgary. They are rich, delicious, and the perfect treat!

They used to have good plastic containers but ever since they switched to cardboard it’s a disaster. These aren’t even recyclable because the city doesn’t allow dirty containers. No longer a nice bow or even presentable. Cupcakes get super dry instantly & don’t transport well. They fall around with the slightest bump & get ruined. Prices have gone up but quality has gone down. Staff tend to be rude. Hours are terrible. Very few flavour options even over an hour before closing. Don’t throw away your money.

Yesterday I popped in and grabbed 2 dozen cupcakes for probably the 30th+ time at this location. They are always friendly and no matter what time of day I have stopped by, the cupcakes are always fresh and delicious. Decorating is consistent and these cupcakes always look their best too!The cake at Crave is always light and moist. Their cupcakes are never oily because they use butter in the perfect ratio! Their buttercream and cream cheese icings are the perfect fluffy-ness and sweetness.My absolute favourite cupcake flavour is Dark Angel. It's a chocolate cake with cream cheese icing, topped with chocolate shavings.I also appreciate that Crave is a female-founded Calgary business success. It is a pleasure to support in a business that has so much heart and soul.
