What People Are Saying About Atlanta Cupcake Factory
Featured Review
Jonathan Baker

In Short – Nestled in a strip of stores off North Highland that include an indie-bicycle shop and art boutique, this cute shoebox-of-a-space does cupcake treats with Wonka-worthy addictiveness. A smattering of flavors colorfully brightens the glass display case, ranging from lemon to key lime, plus seasonal bites like eggnog or peppermint for the holidays. What really sets the Factory apart from other cupcake shops in town is their selection of vegan cupcakes . and the vegan baker's ability to make them not taste like anything vegan at all. These morsels come in a slue of flavors and…
Editor's Tips
- Parking:
- There are only a few spaces outside the Factory, and backing out into on-coming traffic on N. Highland isn't always the most pleasant driving scenario. Try one of the near by lots, or park in the 'hood and walk.
- What to Drink:
- Like the Dunkin' Donut idea, pair the syrupy-sweet cupcakes with black coffee to lessen the sugary (but delicious) blow.
- Know Before You Go:
- Unless you like standing to eat your cupcakes, it's best if you take it with you to go. There isn't any seating and during rush times, the little space can get cramped.
- The Extras:
- Want to put in a special order for a slue of cakes? Call ahead and give the bakery 48 hours notice. Also note that the hours are flexible--go to late in the day and they're liable to be sold out and closed.

A delicious little spot
by UpscalePortland at Citysearch
Tucked on the end of a little strip in North Highland, not too far from Little Five Points is a delicious little place with a name good enough to make you drool. Skip the limited front parking and go around to the back, because otherwise you'll have a difficult time leaving. When I originally heard "Factory" in the name, I expected something a little less personal, and a good bit bigger. I was surprised to see a tiny little shop with handmade morsels in flavor combinations that made me both curious and hungry. My favorite of the unusual flavors on my trip there was definitely "Sugar Cookie/brown butter rosemary", and my partner's favorite was "Caramel Apple". Whether you're craving a classic cupcake or one with a bit of individual flare, The Atlanta Cupcake Factory has something to tempt just about everyone, and is even offering Valentine's Day 6 Packs, complete with ribbon & cute old fashioned hang tags to write a note for your sweetie. At $2.50 per cupcake, it's hard to order just one. Call in advance for special orders, like their $35 dozens or $17.50 dozen minis.
- Pros: innovative flavors, nice location, good prices
- Cons: small difficult parking lot off high traffic road, tiny shop

Tucked away in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it parcel of retail space along the Poncey-Highland strip near the Highland Inn, Atlanta Cupcake factory is a cutesy miniature gastro-pleasure house serving up rich cakes with decadent icing. This place really found it's stride with vegan cupcakes that will silence even the biggest meat 'n cheese eating skeptic. Stop in and grab one during your stroll of the neighborhood for a quick sugar rush.
- Pros: Extremely rich five-bite beauties
- Cons: You gotta take 'em with you
