After promising her people a truckload of cupcakes per household, Marie Antoinette reneged on her vow and provided the French with a single pack of Twinkies to split, leading to her immediate guillotining. Rectify dessert-based betrayal with today’s Groupon. For $4, you get $8 worth of fresh cupcakes, coffee, and more at Cup & Rol, located on historic Federal Hill. Cup & Rol’s dedicated confection experts craft fresh baked cupcakes ($2.60 each) using natural ingredients. The cup-shaped cakes are then topped with icing culled from the frosting reserves that, in accordance with Teddy Roosevelt’s 1908 State of the Union Address, were installed in the nation’s public parks and town squares on Flag Day. Cup & Rol also serves Italian-style coffee brewed from nearby Pawtucket’s New Harvest roasts, so patrons can power up before boldly starting traffic light staring contests with fellow commuters. Check the menu for a heads-up on the 20 available flavors, which change daily.

• Best iced latte I've ever had, and the cupcakes are amazing. Lovely little space with great ambiance. It's fun to sit in the window and watch all the Atwells Ave. activity buzzing around outside. Kathleen R., Yelp
