Small shop located near one entrance to the walkway that runs around the Orinda Theatre. It has a small counter display with only a couple of levels and a small (about 10) selection of cupcakes. All of what they had out looked good, but today I tried the orange cranberry. Im a fan of cranberry stuff, like rhubarb it gives a nice tart touch to what could otherwise be an overly sweet desert. The cupcake had a single candy covered cranberry and a small wedge of orange (not candied or treated in any way, just normal orange with rind). The frosting was a good white dollop on top with a light orange flavor along with vanilla. I liked how the orange wasnt overpowering but was clearly there in each bite. The cake was a sweet and and sticky. A light white breading with whole cranberries. The frosting slightly overpowers the light cake but a bit of the tart comes through to make the overall experience pleasant. Next time Im driving by the area Ill visit again and give another of their cupcakes a try.

Great service, great people, consistent quality, innovative/ creative product and nice location. You can go to one of the nearby restaurants for lunch or dinner and get dessert at ROC. They are what I hold others in comparison to. It is peanut free and they dont use artificially colored anything! Unlike most places. I never purchase cupcakes from places that sell red velvet. Try the Chocolate Messy. My favorites have been the fruit and savories.

Republic of Cakes really impresses with its unique selection of sweet and savory cupcakes. If you like chocolate, Sams Messy Cupcake is a must. If youre willing to be adventurous, try one of their savory cupcakes. The Mushroom Cheddar was excellent and was reminiscent of cornbread with butter and mushrooms. Really top notch. Its a little hard to find (look behind the Orinda theater) but worth the search.

They are cupcakes. They are chunks of flour and sugar and other stuff you should probably avoid and they taste delicious. This place is like other cupcake places in terms of quality cupcakes. Never had a cake from there but one would guess they would also be incredibly unhealthy and amazing.

Ive been a regular customer since they opened--love the cupcakes (and all the bonus items that pop up on their menu, especially the cinnamon rolls), love the staff. Wild horses couldnt keep me away, so keep your insane equine in their stables--theyre unstable.

So delicious! WAY better than Karas in my opinion. Karas tastes too much like shortening.. Anyway the customer service is wonderful. They remember my kids names and make a point to visit with them whenever we go in. I hope they never leave Orinda

I have eaten MANY cupcakes in my life, and these are the absolute best. Specials change every month, and we make sure to try them all. Inventive and delicious. The service is extremely friendly and accommodating too.

Weve always found the staff to be friendly and helpful. The cupcakes are remarkable and we often drive many miles out of our way to have some. This is a one-of-a-kind destination.

Delicious cupcakes! And kudos for NOT making the cake requested to the a$$ who wanted a cake with "marriage=1 man and 1 woman, period". Some people just dont deserve cake.

Wonderful cupcakes at a very reasonable price. Also ordered there a custom cupcake-cake for a birthday and they did a bang-up job!
