American Cupcake is a novelty restaurant, dessert bar and carnival lounge re-inventing classic American diner fare with fresh, local ingredients and a sweet meets savory twist. Chef/owner Devin Alper brings her quirky style to Union Street with both an inventive menu and a Willy Wonka meets Space Odyssey interior, featuring white patent leather banquettes and color-changing gumball lights spanning the ceiling. Lunch, dinner, dessert, beer, wine and candy cocktails are served all day and until midnight on weekends. AC's must-try dish is the Red Velvet Fried Chicken, attracting international press coverage. Signature drinks include cupcake flights (3 mini cupcakes with 3 tastes of wine), the Drunken Ballerina champagne cocktail with sprinkles and a toy ballerina, and boozy milkshakes and snocones. American Cupcake offers private party rental and offsite catering for both kids and adults of all ages.
