"Coco's brings smiles with specialty cupcakes," Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

For instance, on Mondays -- called "Monkey Love Mondays" -- patrons can get coconut banana and peanut butter banana cupcakes, along with vegan chocolate coconut and vegan red velvet cupcakes. Then, there are the daily staples: vanilla vanilla, with white cake and frosting; chocolate chocolate, with chocolate cake and frosting; vanilla chocolate, with white cake and chocolate frosting; and "The Ellsworth," which has chocolate cake and white frosting. The sweet frosting has the texture of light whipped cream, and adorns the tops of cupcakes with numerous peaked circles.



"They are good," says Dave Sopkin, 23, a regular at CoCo's, where he sees many people drop in for a quick cupcake.

CoCo's Cupcake Cafe also sells cupcakes topped with dark-chocolate ganache. The "Dark Side of the Moon" cupcake has a vanilla interior, and "The Audrey" is chocolate on the inside...

"The best thing is, on a Saturday, I love standing behind the counter and watching people as they walk in," Mullen says. "When they see the case filled with cupcakes, it's a great feeling to see their reaction. ... Everybody loves cupcakes."

Sure they look great but have you ever tried to eat one?
Don't waste your money.
I could have bought a block of crisco for half the price. They're revolting and the staff spent the entire time I spent there moaning about Dozen over in squirrel hill.
I left without finishing.

Do not even get me started on how terrible these cupcakes are. They made my kid choke, that's how dry they were.
