HANDS DOWN and MOUTHS OPEN Red Velvet has the best cupcakes!!!. I have taken the cupcakes to the gym and people go crazy. I have taken them to my chiropractors office and people offer to pay double for free cupcakes just to get more than one. THEIR IS NOT COMPETITION!!

*****

LOVE LOVE the Red Velvet cupcake at RVC! A slice of heaven as I savor each and every bite. Alone or at a party or meeting, the presence of RVC cupcakes brings a smile to my face and sweet joy to my heart.

*****

Simply delicious! The best cupcakes and wonderful staff! I especially love the Red Velvet ~ the cake and frosting proportions are perfect!

*****

Great cupcakes, great service, great samples! Who could ask for more? Go Red Velvet!

*****

Red Velvet is simply the best cupcake shop. My fav is the birthday cupcake ... ah...memories of those wonderful bakeries in my childhood in the 1950s. The cake is moist. The frosting is just perfect and the perfect amount. And I love the special variations from time to time. You can't go wrong with ANY of their cupcakes!!!

Red Velvet definitely lives up to its name. The sugary fragrance permeates your nose the moment you enter the store, as you're greeted with a happy "Hello!" and a smile from the modest workers. The many tastes of cupcakes are as exquisite as the decorations and cleanliness.
The only trouble is resisting the urge to come back every day!

*****

Red Velvet Cupcakery is the BEST! the cupcakes are always done to perfection, always, moist, always delicious! There are so many places one can go to find a good cupcake these days, but I want the best, which is why my family and I choose Red Velvet above all others :)

*****

More cupcakes please! Our Family loves Red Velvet. We make it a point to stop in at least once a week to pick up some of Reston's best cupcakes!

*****

Wow. Simply put, these cupcakes are the best. Always moist, the cream cheese is always perfect and they're bound to put a smile on anyone's face!

*****

Fantastic cupcakes and great service!

***** Read review

Fantastic cupcakes; service is superb!

*****

Red Velvet Cupcakery is by far the best cupcake baker in Reston. Yum. Yum. Yum. I've served them at holiday celebrations, a bridal shower, and dinner parties. My guests have raved about their variety of flavors, great taste and beautiful decorations. RVC is the BEST.

As a self-proclaimed cupcake connoisseur, it gives me great pleasure to write a review for Red Velvet Cupcakery -- my favorite stop for cupcakes in the DC Metro area. From the almond scented blonde cake in the BDAY, to the chewy texture of gluten-free BLACK VELVET, each cupcake is as transcendent as the one that proceeded it. There is an appetite appeasing flavor for everyone, yet try to see one pass up any of the delicious offerings presented on the menu.

*****

Best cupcakes in Reston! The balance of flavors and just the right amount of sweetness. I also love the feature flavors that change each week...they are always unique and creative! The staff is so fun and makes me always feel like I'm walking into a friend's place.

*****

Red Velvet is my favorite. Cupcakes to die for! Great staff! I haven't met one of their cupcakes I haven't liked:)

*****

I'm absolutely in love with red velvet cupcakery! Their cupcakes are phenomenal, I can't resist! Definitely my daily weakness ;) And love the staff! So helpful and hilarious!!

*****

What's not to like? Great cake, great frosting, and just great all around.

*****

Red Velvet is my favorite cupcake place - no competition. I love the wide selection of flavors and the range in sweetness, richness and texture. The staff is also pretty great; they're so friendly and always seem happy to see you.

*****

Great cupcakes. Richest ingredients in the cake and icing. And conveniently located.

*****

Red Velvet takes the cake. Simply the best around town!

*****

Yum! Cookie and Cream is my favorite. I always think I could eat more than one but the icing is so rich, that wouldn't be a good idea. Love the staff too!

*****

Red Velvet is pretty much amazing!! I love their seasonal flavors (but who can say no to the delicious summertime?!) :)

*****

CAN I HAS CUPKAKE? Red Velvet is my favorite. So red, so velvetty

*****

Red Velvet is the very best!!!!! Take it from a true foodie who knows cupcakes!!!! Go and grab a dozen for yourself.

****

Red Velvet for sure. The feature flavors are always creative and delicious. They also bake all day which is fantastic because that means they are fresh all day.

*****

I vote for Red Velvet Cupcakery! Their staff is friendly and knowledgeable about all of their products. The cakes are so delicious and moist and it's the perfect ratio of icing to cake. They're the best

*****

I bought a bunch of cupcakes for my husband's birthday and we loved them!

*****

I'm not a big cupcake person, and I was surprised to find how quickly I fell in love with Red Velvet cupcakes. I've even made a few converts myself by taking them to friends and family. The staff is super friendly, and the cupcakes are delicious. I especially like their "feature flavor," it's always something new to keep me on my toes!

*****

I vote for Red Velvet. Their cupcakes are moist and delicious. They have classic favorites and seasonal flavors. I have yet to be disappointed by a single treat. I also love that they have great hours (not so much Cupcake Ladi). Plus they also run deals with Groupon/Living Social so you can get a dozen for half the price.

*****

Red Velvet Cupcakes are delicious, and the staff delightful. However, my vote would go to CupCake Ladi - if her store were open more hours. Everyone should check her out on Saturday while at Lake Anne for the Farmers Market.
That said, Red Velvet does rock!

*****

Delish! They even have 2 cupcakes that are both vegan and gluten free, and 1 sugar free cupcake. The service is wonderful, the atmosphere is inviting, and the cupcakes are the best!

*****

Great selection of flavors. Moist cake and delicious frosting on every single cupcake.

*****

Red Velvet cupcakes are unbelievably moist and delicious! They have just the right amount of topping without being overly sweet. I love the cupcakes, staff and the shop has a cool style.

*****

Truly delicious! These melt in your mouth cupcakes are Reston's best. I love the classic Red Velvet but am always up for trying a new flavor! I love that they carry sugar-free and vegan options.

*****

I love all the cupcakes BUT You simply cannot find a better carrot cake cupcake than at Red Velvet. The cake is so fresh and full of flvor and the frosting is just purely sinful. It has become a tradition in my family now that we have Red Velvet Birthday cupcakes at everyone's bidg day celebration. RED VELVET ROCK !!!

*****

A Red Velvet cupcake is a treat that makes any day a special occasion. I survived Monday; I think I've earned a Red Velvet cupcake! It's my half-birthday...give or take a few months; I'm going to celebrate with a Red Velvet cupcake! I took the stairs instead of the elevator all day; I'm going to reward myself for my healthy choice with a Red Velvet cupcake!

The customer service is top-notch and the opportunities to earn free cupcakes are fun and plentiful. Every featured flavor I have tried has been incredible - even the more inventive and unusual combinations. My favorite flavor is the carrot cake, and I don't even like carrot cake! Red Velvet cupcakes are moist, flavorful, and just sweet enough to satisfy my dessert cravings. They are perfection in a paper wrapper!

*****

Red Velvet cupcakes make my heart flutter. Their cream cheese frosting and ever-changing roster of scrumptious new cupcakes make them far superior to any other cupcake in the area!

*****

I love the cupcakes. Can't get enough of the signature red velvet and love the Summertime cupcakes.

*****

Yummy cupcakes. I'm especially a fan of their cream cheese frosting. It has a perfect cream cheese to sugar ratio! Also, the staff is super friendly!

*****

Yummy and delicious! Red Velvet has great cupcakes and a friendly staff that bake all day right in front of your eyes!

*****

It's an amazing place! The cupcakes are amazing, the frosting is just sweet enough, the employees are always cheerful and polite, and their promos for free cupcakes means I haven't paid for one in months! ;) Fully deserving of being labeled the best cupcakes in the DC area, period.

*****

Red Velvet makes delicious cupcakes! My favorite is the carrot cake, which is moist and is made with whipped cream cheese frosting. Delicious and consistent in their quality!

*****

Dog friendly (complete with water dish out front),
people friendly (employee, Austin, is always courteous, friendly, and remembers us on repeat visits), and
special-diet friendly (two wonderful gluten free, vegan cupcakes)!
It's the perfect way to top off an evening at the town center.

*****

Red Velvet makes the quintessential cupcake. Each of their icings is specifically formulated for that specific cake. They are perfect combinations! My favorite is the Summertime, which can be had any time of the year. No matter the weather, one bite of the Summertime whisks you away to a tropical island, with the perfect blend of lemon and coconut, and warm ocean breezes. So good! The location is convenient with free parking, tons of shopping and family friendly activities going on all the time in the Town Center. There is always a bowl of fresh cool water out for passing pups, and the staff is always smiling and spectacular. Red Velvet gets my vote every time.

****

Red Velvet is the best cupcake place in the Reston Town Center. I've had their vanilla cupcake and it was beautiful. While it might sound like a boring choice, it showed the skills of the chef. The texture was not too dense, not too light. It wasn't too sweet. It hit all the right notes to create a tasty treat. I will be back again.

****

Red velvet has a nice variety of cupcakes with smaller sizes - and they taste great!

*****

Red Velvet gets my vote. Their cake is moist and the icing is to die for.

*****

Ok, admittedly I am biased, but for a non-sweettooth, these are the closest confection to perfection yet for me. The cake/frosting ratio is just right, the ingredients are first-rate and their special recipes are surprising, delightful and always tasty. They give the highest attention to quality and great customer service. Love Red Velvet Cupcakery!
