25 Main Cafe & Cake Parlor ~ St. George, Utah

When I told my girl-friends, Emily and Jennie, that the kids and I were going to accompany my husband on a business trip to St. George, Utah, I asked them . . .

"So, what's there to do in St. George?"


They told me about 25 Main Cafe & Cake Parlor, a local favorite . . . and I can absolutely see why!

Look at their store-front windows . . . big puffs of cotton clouds and floating bottles of Perrier!


Let's go inside . . .


The interior is quite charming . . .

            . . . warm hues with pops of bright turquoise, beautiful bird decor, mini Cuckoo clocks, and beautiful patterns.

This darling cupcake sign is the first thing you see when you walk in the front door.

25 Main's Cafe is to the left . . . and the cupcakes are to the right!


I visited the Cafe first, where I ordered a Strawberry Poppy Seed Salad. 

Given the insane heat outside (UGH!), I thought a salad would be light and refreshing . . . and it was!

I found the salad beautiful, fresh, and quite delicious!

 A peek at the Cafe side . . .


And now on to the whole reason I stopped in . . .  Cupcakes!

Here's the Cupcake side of 25 Main . . .


Unique displays of brightly painted mini Cuckoo Clocks hung in open frames on a large wall.


More turquoise!

I LOVE the fabric pattern on the back of the booth seats! Love!


Did you happen to notice the large Cupcake Schedule posted on the wall beside the counter?

Here's a small version . . . 

Look at those yummy flavors!!


I was there on a Saturday, so here's what I bought . . .


Chocolate and Raspberry make a perfect pair,
so I wasn't surprised at this lovely combination. 
The chocolate cake was tender and moist,
and the raspberry frosting was quite delightful and 
slightly sweet.
My youngest son's favorite cupcake!


Mmmmm . . . Strawberries & creme.
You just can't go wrong with this combination.
I was pleasantly surprised by the tender and moist vanilla cake
and the strawberry frosting, which tasted like it was 
made with fresh berries.
My oldest daughter's favorite cupcake!


Chocolate!
Need I say more!?!
Everyone loved it!


Chocolate and Espresso . . . YUM!
Again, the cake was tender and moist,
but the frosting was most memorable to me.
The espresso flavor was strong, but not too strong . . .
and tasted as though it was naturally flavored.
This cupcake was my personal favorite!!


I'm not a coconut fan, but my husband is . . . 
so I bought this one for him.
I did try it, however, and its texture and flavor was also quite delightful.
Another win!
My husband gave it a thumbs up!

 

I love visiting Cake Parlors and Cupcakeries with my best-friend, Alex, and my family whenever we travel, near and far!

Like here. Here. And here.

25 Main is a treasure in St. George, and I can understand why! 

I hope I have the chance to return one day, and sample the other flavors I missed.

Thanks, Emily and Jennie, for the great referral! Love you girls!
