That's according to a reader and the Cupcake Market website, which doesn't offer up any other details at the moment...
The market is located at 74 E. Seventh St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue...

The previous tenant, North Star Tattoo, closed at the end of 2015 after eight years in business.

An EVG reader stopped by and gave the bakery high marks... they were selling six varieties of cupcakes ($3.75 each) and they also had apple pie, banana bread and rosemary-cheddar scones. The Market sells coffee and tea as well.
And here's a photo of the candidate cookies someone mentioned in the comments...

The Daily News has a piece today on how quickly the candidate cookies are selling. Read that here.
Previously on EV Grieve:
Former tattoo shop will now house the Cupcake Market on East 7th Street
They have Hillary cookies, Bernie cookies, and Trump cookies.
ReplyDeleteNot sure about Cruz....
Was hoping for a biscuit market
ReplyDeleteReally? We're still doing this?
ReplyDeleteBetter than another bar.. okay at least less noisy.
ReplyDeleteBets how long it stays open?
ReplyDeleteHow 2001 of them.
ReplyDeleteI hear they're opening a penny farthing rental shop next door!
ReplyDeleteStopped by today--they are opening at two. Very cute place... Limited seating though...good luck to them.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read what posters to this site will have to say about the sugar quantity, the spices used, the toppings for the cup-cakes, the service, etc etc etc. There'll be a flurry of posts. People will vent (and lament) about the NYU students (bros and girls), and what used to be in that space most recently and going back 10, 15, or 20 years. Then things will calm down, and we can settle in to the revival of East 7th Street (until one of the new or relocated businesses closes down). I hope people will keep a lid on their criticism and remember it's just a cup cake shoppe.
ReplyDeleteIt's actually more of a bakery-cafe than a cup cake shop.
DeleteThey sure did pick the wrong name then.

ReplyDeleteI think you have covered all the bitching and moaning for everyone here. Thanks.
ps,
It's "bros and hos".
@ 3:35 PM. I certainly don't lament the loss of the tattoo shop that was there.
ReplyDeleteIt was good. Cupcakes were better than Sweet Generation.
ReplyDeleteCruz's face is too amorphous to put on a cookie. It'd just look like a blob.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the cupcakes and desserts here are good. But seems like you're being prickly 3:35 PM. This isn't about bros being bros and h-s being h-s. This is about places such as these attract the transients, bros, h-s in the neighborhood. And when they arrive in the neighborhood, they have this arrogant condescension when walking around the neighborhood, as if the neighborhood was made for them -- not yielding way, clogging up the sidewalks, basically acting as if the locals are part of the attraction and are there to serve them. Moreover they trash around the neighborhood expecting the locals to clean up after them.
ReplyDeleteThis is about the gentrification of not only the mom-and-pop shops getting displaced, residents getting displaced, people getting priced out even of the Associated markets. It’s the sense of entitlement that people bring with them to the neighborhood. People seem to think since they’re paying a premium for the lovely neighborhood, visiting or being a long-term tourist by signing a lease or rooming with someone for a year or two and when you and they tire of it, you go back home to mommy and daddy in Greenwich or your petit-bourgeois existence back in Springfield U.S.A. When here, you don’t say hello; you avoid the locals, treat them inferior or criminal, and you act as if you are kings and queens of the EV since have arrived thus you should be able to rule the space around you. You think to yourselves, this is now our place in the neighborhood I don’t care if you created a vibrant neighborhood before by creating art and music, we are here now and we want to put our baby strollers here and suburban and mid-Western sensibilities here.
I'm sure you don't notice this since you are sheltered by your privileged existence in the neighborhood. Enjoy the cupcakes, the designer bagels, and other places that cater to those with self-illusion of selectivity. Happy Monday.
I visited on their first day of business during the early evening. The place is adorable and unique. I met the owner and found the service to be sweet and sincere. And the carrot cupcake I purchased and ate was delicious. It was wrapped in a cool wax like paper. Unlike other bakeries. the cream cheese frosting wasn't overtly sweet and the cake was spiced perfectly with ample moisture. As someone who lives on 7th, I am glad this place is here, giving other places a run for their money. We all need variety and I think this particular spot will deliver. I wish them much success.

ReplyDeleteYour rant, or rather, your anger comes through. Why do you assume that everyone who posts here, except yourself, is someone who (a) doesn't live in the neighborhood long term, (b)is a wealthy transient who doesn't have your sensibilities and who is clogging the streets making it impossible for you to get on with your life and chores. Let's face it, this nostalgia for "mom and pop" stores is just that, nostalgia. I am not sure what you mean by "mom and pop" stores (I think definitions need to be stated). As for gentrification--you're at least a decade too late to start ranting about that issue. The EV hasn't been a renter's paradise for years. And as numerous posts on this site about condos and condominiums attest, we are never going back to the days when you went to Turk Real Estate [was he on East 14th Street, I forget] to find an apartment. My post was about what I consider the preciousness of a wave of stores like the Cupcake store.
What was Marie Antoinette's famous quote again?
ReplyDelete11:21 AM: I've been walking these streets for decades. This was never a village where strangers nodded good morning to each other. I can't get exercised about cupcakes either. I do agree that the East Village is losing its soul to rising rents, endless bars, and countless revelers. The streets were always busy, but it seems that we turned a corner a couple of years ago...
ReplyDeleteCupcake Market is actually a Mom and Pop store, so shut your cakehole, try out their delicious treats and meet the charming girls that run the store before making a judgement. I personally think it's a welcome addition to the village-like charm of 7th St.
ReplyDelete"shut your cakehole"
ReplyDeleteNice. Just proved my point on who goes there. Thank you.
Shouldn't it be" Shut your cupcake hole?" And if you did shut your cupcake hole, then how would you be able to enjoy their delicious cupcakes? Can't we cupcake lovers all get along?
ReplyDeleteBeware cupcake fascism.
