Chocolate Pink Pastry Cafe

As soon as you enter the room the décor is bright and colorful. There are plenty of seats to sit down and enjoy your dessert. The smells of the freshly baked sweet treats fill the atmosphere. While looking at the display cabinets you are amused with the Oreo Cookies and Cream cupcakes, and then you want to try the dessert of the south Red Velvet Cupcakes, but of course the Chocolate Cupcake with pink icing completely satisfies all of your sweet tooth hunger for cupcakes.I have been very lucky. I usually find a parking spot directly in front of the store. You can take several of your friends with you or just go inside bring something to read and enjoy your cupcakes alone. I know I eat too much because I need three cupcakes in one setting. But if you just want to savor one at a time please do so. I guarantee you will agree with me three is just enough. I do not know how much calories is in one cupcake? No one could give me an answer. I didn?t gain any weight for eating every single day for two weeks straight in a row. Oh I forgot this place is not open on Monday?s. I had to learn the hard way!!!!

Wanted to try this little cafe and ordered 2 cupcakes, and 3 tarts total price $29..The Oreo cupcake was small and stale (cake/Oreos)the red velvet was okay, the fleur de sel carmel tasted too salty and oily, the cheesecake was okay but separated from the crust automatically, the chocolate toffee tart well the mouse was good toffee no good..this place is too expensive, thought about trying the eggs but at 2 for $7 not worth the miniture things beautiful as they were. Nice decor, had I not been so far away from the place would have taken it back for refund.

In Chocolate Pink's defense, I've only experienced their desserts through Zifty. The first time, I opted for a red velvet cupcake and it was terrible. The frosting was waxy and flavorless, and the cake itself was dry and crumbly. The second time, I tried the cheesecake with raspberry sauce. The sauce had a funky sour smell to it and the cheesecake was bland, while the crust had a definite lard/rancid oil flavor. Finally, the third and last time, I tried their brownies. Very odd texture, too sweet but not fudgy and not quite cakelike. I'm kind of grossed out by the brownies and I'm a chocoholic!There's gotta be better places for dessert in Atlanta, and I imagine if you're headed to the actual cafe you're going for the overall experience. I'm sure the cafe has a great mix and a great atmosphere, but the food has been terrible. And if they're selling Zifty the old, stale, crusty garbage, then that's a great way to garner negative reviews.

I recently hosted a bridal shower event at Chocolate Pink. After reading the many reviews on how cute the place was for this type of event, I made an appointment to view and was sold on the spot. The space really sold itselfit is located on the second floor of the pastry shop which are both really cute, quaint and nicely decorated. At the initial meeting with the event coordinator and discussing the availability and fees, she said she'd be in touch within a week of my event. I reached out to her a few times before the event to square away the bill in advance and each time there was no prompt response. I left a message for her a week before the event as I was interested in placing an order for decorative sweet treats and heard nothing. Finally three days prior to the event, I receive a message that I met the deadline to order sweets from Chocolate Pink for my event. I returned the call within 10 minutes and left her a message Never heard back from her. Our cupcakes came from another local sweet shop due to her unavailability. When I arrived on the day of, our event coordinator was eager to advise me of the outside catering fee due and of course, that she was there to help with any of my needs. My guests enjoyed the event and adored the location. I was a little disappointed with the role that the event coordinator played in my event. It seemed the only thing she coordinated was the payment for the space which again sold itself. The experience with Chocolate Pink was not very personalized. I would rent the space again because it serves the purpose and comfortably accomodates an intimate gathering and is in a central locationI would just do it with the expectation that space is all I'm paying for....

This place may have a good bakery, but if you want to rent a space to have an event, DONT DO IT! The owner will nickel and dime you from the second you sign the contract until the end of your event. She even charged me $1.50 to use her can opener. She is unreasonable and is not up front about the charges that we incurred. She even tried to charge us for electricity after we had paid a fee to rent the space. Overall, this is an establishment that I will NEVER go to again. I will not give them one more penny of my money. Its this kind of dishonesty that will put you out of business! I could have referred 3 more parties to her that day, but instead she lost multiple customers. Also the cupcakes and petit fours are NOT very good. They are dry and tasteless cake part and decent frosting
