Cupcakes Take the Cake has an excellent reader review of Brown Betty Petite, Philadelphia’s first cupcake-only store. Here’s a sample:
“The shop lives up to the “petite” part of its name–it is quite small. That doesn’t stop it from being absolutely charming, though, with a pink-striped awning, dark chocolate walls accented with hot pink, and ornate chandelier inside. The shop has just one case for its cupcakes, and most flavors rotate on a daily basis. We went on a Saturday afternoon, and the shop was quite busy; they were even out of menus, change, and a few types of cupcakes. After much deliberation, I decided to try Carrot Patch (carrot cake with cream cheese frosting). I also purchased Sallie’s Sourcream (vanilla poundcake with vanilla frosting), Hattie Don’t Play + Vanilla (chocolate cake with vanilla frosting), and Sing Little Alice (chocolate and vanilla cake swirled with matching frosting) to take home.”
I haven’t had a chance to visit the Rittenhouse Brown Betty Petite, but having sampled the Northern Liberties Brown Betty Boutique, I’m certain it’s worth a visit–or five.

Woo Hoo didn’t know this opened yet, know where I’m heading on my lunch break now!:)
Congratulations to my Aunt Linda, and cousin Norrinda, on the fine job of opening your second location. Thank you Aunt Linda, for all those years of baking for family for holidays and birthdays. My favorite is the lemon pound cupcakes.
I was super excited when Brown Betty Petite opened up right around the corner from my hosue. So I went in and bought three different cupcakes only because they looked so good! They were good, I think, but it was hard to tell as all 3 were semi-frozen. Needless to say I was very disappointed to pay over $3 for a cupcake and find them not freshly baked. I want to go back, but these cupcakes should be freshly baked, no??????
