Sprinkles Cupcakes

Awesome cupcakes! The icing is not too sweet but just right, but they are definitely not greedy with it! The cupcake atm is totally awesome, and clever! Staff is always pretty nice although they could smile a bit more. Sweet people for a sweet place! I’ve tried quite a few flavors although my favorite so far is the vanilla milk chocolate!

I don’t understand how anyone can think these cupcakes are moist. I just don’t get it. I must be constantly picking the wrong flavor or it’s just plain bad luck with a bad batch. There is also another possible explanation: they really are just plain DRY! These cupcakes taste ordinary to me. I keep giving them periodic chances after forgetting how I originally feel about ‘em. Then I have a taste. Then I remember.
They have this cool ATM feature on the backside of the store here in Highland Village, but it’s kind of gimmicky. Cool concept to get a midnight snack if you prefer, but it’ll most likely taste days-​old (mine did).
Parking is a biotch at peak hours and weekends, and the store size isn’t really conducive to sitting and enjoying your treat. It’s more of a «get in, get out» type of thing. Maybe they should’ve thought of a drive-​thru.
I hate mentioning other businesses, but there’s just no other way. Crave has the best cupcakes, which are fresh and moist, with the most buttery cream frosting. Actually, Nothing Bundt Cakes are even MORE moist than Crave’s cupcakes! My mouth is watering… But when I think of Sprinkles, it dries back up again.

This is my absolute favorite cupcake place in all of Houston! I was sooo excited when Sprinkles opened in Houston and I thought it couldn’t get better until they started serving their ice cream and have their cupcake ATM in the back!
The cupcakes are never dry and always have a good flavor and balance. I have never disliked a flavor here, and it’s hard to pick a favorite. I generally decide based upon my mood that day. With that said, you can never go wrong with the classic red velvet and some of my other go to flavors are cinnamon sugar, chai latte, and peanut butter chip. They don’t serve all the flavors everyday so you kind of have to pick from what they have. There are a few that stay on the menu everyday though.
Also, the sprinkles sundae (or mini sprinkles sundae) is my favorite «treat yoself» treat. It’s basically a cupcake or mini cupcake with a scoop of their ice cream. You can pick any combo out of the flavors available that day! So goooood! You won’t regret it. My favorite ice cream flavors have been red velvet, vanilla, and peanut butter cup, and chocolate fudge almond.
If you’re not feeling up for a sundae, you can always get the ice cream in a cone! They even have red velvet waffle cones! Red velvet errthangggg from Sprinkles! When I opt for a cone, I get the cone with mango sorbet which is now on weekly rotation and not just a seasonal flavor.
They have seasonal flavors every quarter, so be sure to go in every once in a while to try those.

This place is sooooo overrated. I don’t get how anyone likes these cupcakes??? People, have you ever been to Crave or Nothing Bundt Cakes? Too sweet, too dry, and too expensive for what they are. Even the cupcakes from Central Market or Whole Foods are much better. I had a cupcake from the ATM and it tasted stale and dry. I didn’t know sawdust was a flavor… 2 stars for the cute name and logo.

I come here from time to time and I never leave disappointed. I had a birthday code for a free cupcake that I redeemed and decided to buy a snickerdoodle cookie as well, which was the first time for me trying their cookies. I was a bit surprised at how pricey the cookies were, $ 3! I got the red velvet cupcake, you can never go wrong with red velvet.
The first thing I noticed about the cupcake is that it seems there is less icing. Perhaps I’m confusing it with another cupcake shop, but I remember the icing top being more mushroom shaped instead of it being tapered close to the width of the cake.
When I got home I was surprised at how heavy the top was compared to how light and fluffy the cake part was. It tasted delicious, even moister than I remember! The snickerdoodle cookie was pretty good as well, it was so soft. Sprinkles is definitely a must try if you’re in the area.

Ummm… came here on lunch break and saw a Cuban coffee cupcake. Omg, you read my mind! So good!

Sprinkles cupcakes tastes so delicious, but the shop itself was pretty small. I expected it to be bigger with tables and chairs to dine in. Overall, the quality of the cupcake is amazing, but if they expanded their building, this review would’ve been a 5 star for sure.

I don’t like the parking here it’s always horrible! But the cupcakes make it worth it! I always get the vegan red velvet and it is delicious!

How have I not already reviewed Sprinkles?! Sprinkles taught to love cupcakes. Before Sprinkles, cupcakes were meh. Sprinkles also taught me about the wonder that is buttercream frosting.
My first experience with Sprinkles was while I was living in Fort Worth, TX. I heard on the radio that a famous, LA-​based cupcake shopping was coming to nearby Dallas. I made plans to try it out and was immediately hooked. My friend and I made numerous one hour trips from FW to Dallas just for Sprinkles.
Not long after I moved back to Houston I heard Houston was getting a Sprinkles and I was excited. I think Sprinkles is smart to keep it to this one location in Houston. When something becomes too available, it’s no longer exciting.
Even if the cupcake trend is over, I still think Sprinkles cupcakes are a pretty amazing dessert. Houston-​based, Sprinkles-​copycat Crave is also delicious and they have more creative flavors than Sprinkles.
The only annoying things about Sprinkles is that the shop is so tiny and parking can be a pain, depending on the day and time. Otherwise, the Sprinkles experience is great — the staff are friendly and professional and the cupcakes are delicious!

I don’t know why I tried this place again. I had them in California, and they were ok. But I was really craving a good cupcake so figured we would go again. Honestly, they are over priced and over rated. Cupcakes are sweet as heck and really have no wow factor. The shop is small and gets busy, everyone kinda has to cram in to get in line. You’d think they’d make the store bigger to accommodate all the crazy people willing to pay over 3 bucks for a cupcake. And yes the cupcake ATM is cool, but not worth the extra money to use it.

Great cupcakes and thumbs up on being open late. I think these are second best cupcakes in town after Crave. The main difference being that the dots on top of Sprinkles cupcakes are made of rock-​hard, disgusting sugar that makes you gag and spit it out. If they made these dots out of fondant like Crave, they’d be edible. But alas, Sprinkles seems resolute in their cupcake formula so I have lost all hope for change. All I can say is that I highly recommend when they ask you «Sprinkles or no sprinkles?» That you remember Elise’s words and like your teeth depend on it, shout «SPRINKLES!!» at the top of your lungs and never look back. You’re welcome.

AMAZINGLY great service! That is what keeps me coming back! Their selection is wonderful, and they have vegan, dairy free and gluten free options!
And, this time, I opted for a pup-​cake (cupcake for my dog). It’s fairly priced, but unfortunately, my dog didn’t like it. Perhaps they can create something else for pups, but I’m sold on taste, texture, and service!

I’ve been coming here for quite some time every time I’m in Houston, this past weekend on a Sunday was the busiest I have ever seen it. I rarely ever have to wait in line that goes outside, so I guess note to self do not go on a Sunday afternoon…
Any who I waited in the line that went out the door and to my surprise it was only a few minutes to place my order, I did have to wait to receive it and that took a while, but I was only here for the day and had to get my fix. I got the Sprinkles Sundae with the Sprinkles cupcake and the red velvet ice cream. I love the re velvet ice cream.
I got the ice cream a lone last time with the red velvet ice cream cone and that was good too. I usually always get a red velvet cupcake everywhere I go, There’s is really good too, if I’m lucky that day I’ll get the strawberry as well. I got the dog cupcake twice now, for two different dogs and they both seem to love it. It’s pretty expensive for a mini cupcake thought $ 2, but that is the price of the human mini cupcake as well, so I guess that’s kind of fair. This location has a cupcake ATM in the back that is open ²⁴⁄₇ but I haven’t been there since I’ve been coming for the ice cream combo lately.
The parking here is a nightmare during the weekends but the whole area is a nightmare, since it’s located next door to the Apple store so that place ruins the parking with its crowds. I wish there was another location and more so one in Austin!

Really just fantastic cupcakes! Hands down. And now that they have ice cream, it’s just awesome. My two favorite cupcakes are the dark chocolate (with chocolate sprinkles) and red velvet – both are wonderful. Their ice cream is very good too; not my favorite in the city but delish, especially considering that they’ll make a cupcake sundae for you. Sprinkles cupcakes are incredible, but, if I’m being honest, I like Crave Cupcakes better – but both places are 5 stars though!
And the people working there are just so nice. A girl wearing a Batman tutu (Kim maybe?) helped me out, and she was just so sweet and put up with my complicated order.

Olive Oil cupcakes, huh? Seriously? How interesting! Without the classic thick slab of icing atop, the olive oil cupcake is a very moist yellow chiffon cake, topped with a thin layer of glaze, garnished with a few sprigs of dried herb. The boyfriend says that the olive oil cupcake tastes a little savory, which is good, and I love it less greasy than the traditional cupcakes; thanks to the olive oil! Without a doubt, the olive oil cupcake is a healthier alternative that tastes indeed yummy!

I’ve never really been a huge fan of big name cupcakeries, mostly because I hate the density of the cupcakes and the amount of frosting that come with them. I’m not trying to become a diabetic… Sprinkles recently started serving ice cream and so on a hot summer day, a group of friends and I went for my friends birthday.
Parking is a bitch. There’s only a few in the front of the store, but there is ample parking elsewhere throughout highland village, including the garage. Took awhile but after about 20 minutes, i finally found parking across the street near lulu lemon. The interior isn’t really suited for you to come in sit and eat your cupcake, especially NOT on the weekend. Get your treats and get out of here! The line is long and slow moving since everyone takes their time ordering. Rightfully so since there are lots of new icecream options!
I ordered a cupcake sundae, with rocky road sandwiched between a red velvet cupcake. A bit rich and decadent for my taste. I really only like coming here because they have cute little pupcakes that my dogs inhale.

Easily my all-​time favorite cupcake store. I love it so much that when I didn’t live in Houston and would go on vacation in Texas, I would go out of my way to find a Sprinkles to stop in at. This most recent time was my third Sprinkles visit since moving to Houston, but this is the first time I’ve been since they put in the cupcake ATM and added ice cream to the menu. My friend got a cupcake from the ATM, which is definitely as cool as it sounds. It’s at the location on Westheimer on the rear side of the store and it’s open ²⁴⁄₇. All of the cupcakes, cookies, and brownies are listed, so you just select the one you want, swipe your credit card, and out comes your baked perfection in a little pre-​packaged box. It’s really efficient if you don’t want to wait in line or if you want a cupcake after the store is closed.
I decided to go all out and get the Sprinkles sundae inside the store. I don’t know how they do this, but they basically take your cupcake of choice and infuse it with your ice cream flavor of choice (they have tons of options for both cupcakes and ice cream flavors). Going for pure decadence, I chose a peanut butter and chocolate cupcake with the triple chocolate ice cream. It was basically heaven.
I think it’s definitely something you should try at least once if you’re a cupcake lover because it’s super unique and, not to mention, absolutely delicious, but I personally will probably just stick to a cupcake only unless I really want to treat myself. The sundae, with tax, cost around $ 7, which is way ridiculous even for a dessert that yummy (which is weird because I think their cupcakes are actually usually pretty reasonably priced). I’m glad I tried it once, and honestly it kind of served as my lunch and dessert all in one because I was still full from it five hours later, but it’s definitely a treat-​yo-​self kind of dessert.
If you’re going to Sprinkles for the first time, their specialty is the red velvet and it’s a really good go-​to. Also my favorite thing to get at Sprinkles — aside from the peanut butter, coconut, or pumpkin cinnamon cupcakes — is a frosting shot. It’s only 75 cents for a small cup of your frosting of choice, and you just eat it with a spoon. It sounds weird but is actually so satisfying.

I wanted to update this now that they’ve added Sprinkles Ice Cream. We waited about a week for the hype to die down before trying it, and we were a bit disappointed. There are lots of different options available — you can get your choice of ice cream and cupcake together, an ice cream sandwich with cupcake tops, or a brownie or cookie sundae.
We got butter pecan ice cream with a red velvet cupcake, and the ice cream was just okay. The taste was very mild, which I didn’t mind — it pairs nicely with the cupcake and allows the cupcake to remain the highlight of the dessert. The texture was too icy for my liking though.
They had some brownie samples out, and they were really good. Chocolatey and dense.
I haven’t personally used the Cupcake ATM yet, but I think it’s a novel idea, and I’m looking forward to trying it when those late night cake cravings strike.

Sprinkles is an amazing place for cupcakes — Best cupcakes in Houston in my opinion. The cupcakes are always fresh, icing fresh, and everything tastes like it was made five minutes before you bite into it. This is quite a different experience from other cupcake places in town — Most cupcakes are dry if you go in the afternoon. Sprinkles usually has promos running as well if you like their pages on Facebook/​Instagram. They usually run a BOGO which is awesome! Love their flavors, variety, and their new ice cream flavors!
The only negative that I could write about is the size of the store and the parking — The store is TINY. When you’re the only person inside, you won’t think about it. But when there is a line, you’ll be mind-​boggled at how they made the store this small in the first place. I was recently there for their new ice cream, and the line was looped around the store and out the door, which is both not fun in the hot summer heat and probably a fire hazard (there was a lady with her two children in a stroller and could barely move, which I didn’t think was very fair to her). The employees didn’t seem too prepared on how to handle a line or a crowd either, which I found disappointing. I think the store would benefit from an Ipad ordering system when there is a long line.
They just opened their Cupcake ATM as well which is very cool, and you can get cupcakes vending machine-​style, and they’re still fresh!

The location is small and hard to move around or sit when more than 5 customers are in the store.
Cupcakes are consistently great! Always a nice treat to have!
