Cupcakes and Counting in Swords

Definitely for those with a sweet tooth! Ube latte is amazing and like a warm hug on a cold day which is what everyone needs this week! The colour is just beautiful too. Hard not to smile when I visit. Staff are so lovely too.

Absolutely amazing place! Cupcakes and Counting is hands down one of the nicest spots in Swords. The cakes are unreal — you can tell everything is made with real care and top-quality ingredients. The coffee is always perfect too. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, they really make you feel at home every time you visit. The place itself has such a cozy, calm vibe — perfect for catching up with friends or treating yourself to something sweet. Honestly, I can’t recommend it enough. Whether it’s for a custom cake or just a quick coffee and cupcake, you’ll never be disappointed here!

Cupcakes and Counting is honestly a hidden gem in the heart of Swords. The moment you walk in, you’re hit with that amazing smell of fresh baking and greeted by the warmest, kindest staff you’ll ever meet. There’s a real sense of love and pride in everything they do from the presentation of their cakes to the way they treat every customer like family. Their cupcakes and desserts are on another level — soft, rich, beautifully decorated, and full of real flavour (not that overly sweet, artificial taste you find elsewhere). You can tell everything is baked fresh with care and creativity. The coffee is consistently spot-on, and the whole vibe of the place is calm, stylish, and full of positive energy. Whether you’re ordering a wedding cake, grabbing a treat to go, or just sitting in for a peaceful coffee break, Cupcakes and Counting delivers every single time. It’s not just a café — it’s an experience. A perfect mix of passion, artistry, and heart. If you’re in Swords or even anywhere near Dublin, this place is absolutely worth the trip. Easily one of the best bakeries in Ireland.

Amazing cakes, very friendly and great service

Cupcakes and Counting created the most stunning wedding cake for our day in Ireland this May. Not only was it a true showstopper to look at, but it tasted absolutely incredible—our guests are still talking about it! Their artistry and attention to detail made our cake so much more than dessert; it became a beautiful part of our celebration and memories. We’re so grateful!

Cupcakes and Counting is an absolute gem in Swords! The coffee and matcha are always perfect, and I can never resist their heavenly strawberry cheesecake – it’s honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. Jay and Jenny are such wonderful people, and every time I visit I feel so welcomed and uplifted by their warmth and kindness. I also love how comfortable it feels to simply take a moment for myself here – whether I want to catch up on some work or just pause and breathe. This place isn’t just about amazing cakes and drinks, it’s about the atmosphere they’ve created – cozy, friendly, and full of heart. Highly recommended! 🌸✨

I couldn't recommend Cupcakes and Counting enough, whether its for your special day, or to make your day more special. Jen & Jay made our wedding cake years ago, and we came back almost a decade later for another taste - it truly didn't disappoint (which is lucky, so the memory is even better now) but more than that, both of them are truly wonderful and lovely.
