A Wee Cupcakery

Cute little shop, but disappointed with the cupcakes and nainamo bar. We felt very unwelcomed and almost like we were bothering the worker, even though the place was empty. Not sure why this place was highly rated for their nanamio bars (yes, I understand this is a cupcake place), but we bought 5 different Nanaimo bars from different places and this was our least favorite voted by several people. Cupcakes also not that great, they're as bland as bland can be.

Excellent Nanaimo Bars - not too sweet. Moist delicious cupcakes. We frequently visit the shop and always will. Excellent, small local business.

Today I had a day old salted caramel cupcake & it was the first time I went into the store. The lady was super nice & the cupcake was SO tasty. I'll definitely go again

Unfortunately the only good thing I have to say about the cupcakes at a Wee Cupcakery is that they are very beautiful looking. Taste wise they are pretty dry, crumbly, not sweet enough (icing or cupcake) and I’m not one for sickly sweet things but these seriously lack sweetness. Since moving to Nanaimo I’ve gone multiple times thinking each time will be better but it’s always the same issues. In particular the coconut cupcake with cream cheese frosting - the frosting tastes just like cream cheese without any sweetness.

Vegan cupcakes, yes! All the vegan ones are also gluten-free, which is even better when you've got celiacs in the family. I love every flavour. Just be sure to get there early because they sell out pretty fast! The woman who runs this place is always so friendly too.

Rudest woman, worst service. You would think she didn’t want customers. I know it’s a pandemic but Jesus woman, would it kill you to be polite to your customers? Especially the ones who want to buy lots of your products in one go? Will not be buying from here again, the food isn’t good enough to outweigh how rude she was. Also, judging from how she reacted to the other criticisms in the reviews that I’ve just read, instead of an apology I’m assuming I’m going to be labeled ‘toxic’ for her own toxic behaviour. Figure that one out.

Amazing variety, great taste and stellar service! I had ordered a dozen (assorted flavours) someone as a surprise for a friend. It's been great fun discovering and trying each flavour in the dozen. We'll definitely be back for more!

Locally owned business, consistent high quality beautifully presented, fresh amazing tasing cupcakes. Available decedent flavours, gluten free and vegan options also as amazing tasting. Thanks Medina for aways baking with love.

Best cupcakes I have ever had, and I have had many cupcakes having lived in both Toronto and Vancouver! Definitely worth a stop if coming through Nanaimo

The cupcakes are incredible. I have ordered cakes and they are beautiful and very delicious. This bakery is a perfect gem in the Old City quarter of Nanaimo.

I recently ordered a custom cake through A Wee Cupcakery and I was blown away at the attention to detail to the design and of course how good it tasted! I would have taken a photo but we got to eating it so fast! Medina is talented an easy to work with. Highly recommended!

Gave great advice as to what to get for a wedding cake and as to the amount of cupcakes. Listen to her when she says not to get enough cupcakes for every guest! Our cake was absolutely beautiful! The cake and cupcakes were also delicious. We were very happy with everything from A Wee Cupcakery:)

I used to luv this place when it first opened. Went in a few weeks ago and the place had a weird smell which killed my cupcake craving i bought one anyway to eat later and it was just ok. Sorry, but just does not feel speacial any more

Just picked up some custom vegan cupcakes and tried one of them- so dang good! Thank you for all the options and the delicious floral cupcakes I received!

This place is overrated.too bad can't put 0 stars.anyways, i was so very excited to try these cupcakes because they looked great.but absolutely tasted horrific! Cupcake was falling apart, icing was disgusting.i would never recommend this place even my worst enemy.not sure how you can mess up a cupcake.i can buy a betty crocker cake mix and it'll STILL taste better than these "cupcakes". Waste of money and an absolute joke!

Purchased a variety of cupcakes for my birthday dinner. We purchased a dozen or 10 (unsure) so each guest could receive a cupcake.
Sadly, everyone disliked them. The cupcakes were more like hard dry muffins and the icing was rock hard and tasted as though it was made with crisco or some form of lard. We called the company the next day to let them know the cupcakes were inedible, we were promptly called back and given a store credit.
We thought we would try them again, we even gave them two more attempts as we certainly couldn’t consume the entire credit in one go. Just as they were the last time, the cupcakes were dry muffin like and the icing wasn’t pleasant, along with the cream cheese icing which tasted like straight cream cheese. Not only that the lady that works there or maybe she’s the owner? Anyways, she wasn’t friendly. The store is unwelcoming, full of do not touch signs. Too bad, I really want to support local business.
**** edited - wow what a response.
I didn’t resort to name calling. Im truly disappointed

I am one of the alleged “two toxic people” who were nothing but polite with this woman after we’d purchased what we felt were cup-muffins.a store owner calling a customer who wasn’t happy with her products “toxic, ” should look inward, as this comment embodies toxicity. Reviews are there for a reason. Perhaps we should just lie and say they were fabulous. I suppose we’ve had better elsewhere and expected the same here. We’ve purchased cupcakes in Vancouver at similar establishments and have been wowed with them. As a business that purveys cupcakes as their primary offering, we expected more. While we appreciated her willingness to make it right, the fact remains that they weren’t very good at all. We were not toxic in any way, and am shocked to be assigned that label. Take a look at all her bad reviews.her responses are the same. My advice is either don’t tell her if you don’t like them, or don’t go at all. Childish, acerbic tantrums. I don’t wish her any ill-will at all, and would hope that she would take the criticism constructively.

If you’re looking for quality cupcakes made from quality ingredients and real butter - this is the place. I’ve been a customer for years and always get treats for special occasions. Great customer service, great product and a great atmosphere. 100% recommend. Support local business!

My wife and I travel to Nanaimo to pick up cupcakes. They have the greatest gluten free cupcakes we have found anywhere!

Friendly staff, always smiling, create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Definitely worth the trip!

Beautiful and incredible tasting cupcakes. The cinnamon donuts are to die for. Worth the drive if you dont live close to the downtown hood. I highly recommend "A Wee Cupcakery. "

I had the most delicious cupcake I've ever had from here, it was caramel apple. It is thing and quaint. They have limited hours so check that they are open before you go.

Love these cupcakes so much. I bug my boyfriend most weeks to go there with me. If it wasn't for him, I'd spend all my money on these cupcakes.
