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

We got a few cupcakes, me and my boys (aged 5 and 10) and we totally enjoyed them. They were very rich, very tasty, but we couldn't finish all three.

I'm wondering if this is the same place everyone else is giving 5 stars reviews to. The line was out the door when i went and i cant figure out why. The cupcakes were beautiful in appearance, but taste was subpar. I tried the confetti cupcake and the lemon cupcake. Simply put they tasted like Duncan Hines or some boxed... More

It's an addictive little place if you like it sweet, sweet, sweet. They have fun flavors and the cupcakes are overflowing with super sugary frosting. If you just want a taste, they sell little cups of "cupcake scraps" that hit the spot after lunch

Stopped in here either before or after heading to Brick Alley Pub. They were near closing time but the service was good, and the selection of cupcakes was a sight. Shared a delicious cupcake with a friend and wish we could have more.
