My husband and I got a red velvet cake and a boston creme cupcake. They were both good. Two cupcakes will run you $6.50

Cup cake Charlies, is cute, but not very unique. Kind of cookie cutter... Pricey and toooo sweet, and the service is just ok..

Okay so there is a cupcake shop local to me that I love, so I MAY just be partial to that but... I got the chocolate peanut butter cupcake, and my boyfriend got funfetti (I think it was called?) Mine was good enough but not the best I've ever had. Boyfriend was fond of his as well. The shop was... More

Crappy cupcake should be the name. No big deal. Feel free to walk on by. I know good sweets and this is just a production line cup cake outlet. And they want to franchise? I don't think so. Friendly staff in a tourist location so they will do well no matter what. They can only only ride the tv show... More

Oh my goodness! Hello yummy sweetness!! We stopped here on our way home from Newport on Mother's Day. We bought 1/2 a dozen to bring to a dinner party. They are outrageous!! So good! They are huge though, so we ended up either cutting them in 1/2 or 1/3, so everyone could have a tasting. I can tell you that... More

Just cupcakes, a few tables if you want to "eat in," but they do them to perfection. A very welcoming young woman waited on us and warmed them a little so we could eat them on the spot. I had carrot cake and my friend had the Hostess cupcake reproduction. Both were delicious. Afterwards, we needed nothing more to end... More

First stop to the Newport Cupcake Charlies today with my 2 kids & a friend. Store was spotless, had nice seating & a great looking display with many flavors to choose from. Some were filled, others were not. My daughter had the chocolate chip cookie flavor. The cupcake was moist & delicious, but she did remove the frosting b/c it... More

Cupcakes are great. I enjoyed the carrot cake cupcake which they warmed up before serving it to me....mmmmm! Nice, moist, flavorful. I can't recall which one my husband ordered but he enjoyed his just as much. We lucked out not having a line when we got in there but by the time we left there were quite a few people... More

My daughter is obsessed with cupcakes, so this stop was a requirement for our visit to Newport. I had the red velvet which was great and she had the mint chocolate which she loved too. We took a few to go and shared the chocolate raspberry later - this was the BEST! Definitely recommend!

While at the Visitor Center, I came across the brochure for Cupcake Charlie's. My daughter and I decided that we must find this place while shopping. The store front was quaint and inviting. The display cabinet was beautiful. After deciding what to buy, we had our cupcakes. The store seating was full, so we headed out to the sidewalk. My... More
