Rock N Roll Cupcakes

Rock N’ Roll Cupcake has a few things going for it. It has free parking lot parking, a nice patio seating area and it is easily accessable from Sunset Blvd. or La Brea Ave. Also, the free Wi-​Fi is good. All of these things are why I gave this place three stars. However, this place sadly proves, you pay for what you get. The $ 1.90 cupcake price is great, get when I got my red velvet cupcake, it was stale, cold, and the frosting was solid as a rock. I feel I could have gotten a better cupcake down the street at Ralph’s. All the reviews for this place seem good. I hope I just had a freak, bad experience.

This place is shut down… Just came from there! ;(

Went to this spot was dying for a cupcake and it was closed down please update this.

THIS IS BEST PLACE YOU CAN GO FOR A CUPCAKE. PERIOD
Oreo Speedwagon is the best!!!
The manager Rocks too! All around, this place is the best. DONE

The owner is awesome but unfortunately, their cupcakes are not.
i may just be biased because I’ve had Yummy Cupcakes so many times, but these honestly just taste like something that you’d get at the Ralph’s bakery.

Awesome!
My girlfriend and I went here once, but were 8 minutes past closing time. The employee who was cleaning up gave us each two free cupcakes. Delicious, they were Strawberry, and its the frosting that makes them sooo good. We have gone back two more times after this. Tried a few of the other flavors but nothing beats the Strawberry! Plus they are pretty cheap (less than $ 2/​each).

I’ve had better cupcakes, bigger too, but they make up for it with the silly names and awesome staff. Go around 945 when they’re closing and just chat em up, they’ll give you a dozen for the price of 2. It’s easy to miss driving by, only about 10 square feet inside, just a take out window, but if you’re craving a baked good, stop by!

I love love love cupcakes, so I was very excited to see Rock N Roll Cupcakes in my neighborhood. However, after sampling a few flavors (oreo, vanilla w/​chocolate, and red velvet), that quickly turned to disappointment. The cake part was fine, nothing to write home about but perfectly acceptable. The butter cream frosting on all of them, however, was so sugary that it completely overpowered everything else. I should note that I’m not the biggest fan of butter cream to begin with, but this was really over the top and unbalanced. Even the cream cheese frosting on the red velvet tasted more like a saccharine butter cream. Also, it didn’t make sense to me that the ‘Oreo Speedwagon’ cupcake was on yellow cake rather than chocolate – the only thing Oreo about it was a tiny bit of cookie crumbs on top.
The flavor names are very cute, and the guy behind the counter couldn’t have been nicer, but the product did not deliver.

While I love the concept and cleaver naming of menu items… I have to agree with Matthew G. The cupcakes just weren’t all that great. Decent, but I could honestly make better at home… from a box.
The guy behind the window was friendly and very helpful and the prices are pretty cheap, but the product was just not great. I hate to say it, but Rock N Roll… you don’t really ummm rock. A revamp of the recipe might help. Moister in a cupcake is a good thing! Work it out.

are you kidding me?
on our quest to find an incredible cupcake in LA (had no idea it was going to be this difficult)… we stumbled on this catastrophe .
not even worth a review. sahara desert dry… off brand lard/​crisco frosting. bought 4… threw them all away after ½ a bite.
truly an embarrassment that our fine city rates this dump 4 out of 5 stars.
shuttering at the taste even 2 days later

I Love this Place. Great concept, Decadent Flavors, Fun Names of cupcakes and Awesome location. I look forward to tasting all of the wonderful flavors and especially the cupcake sundae!
Welcome to the Neighborhood:0)

On a whim, we stopped here to grab a cupcake. I had been wanting to check out the bakeries around LA for a while, and this one was very close to where I live.
It’s smaller than I expected, but it has a very nice charm to it. The selection is limited, but the cupcakes are creatively named and make you crave each one.
We tried the Rage Against the Vanilla Bean and the Red Velvet Underground. My fiancé and I were both pleased with the Red Velvet Underground. Just enough frosting to the cake.
I know I’ll be back, the prices were competitive and these cupcakes definitely satisfy a craving, but it will be to try their cupcake sundae!

This place has a very friendly staff and the concept is appealing. All the previous reviewers are right on when they say these cupcakes are unique compared to other cupcake places in the area. The cream cheese frosting is very creamy and I would eat it by the spoon full. The patio is a great place to sit down and relax while enjoying your cupcake or cupcake sundae. It’s located on Sunset Blvd giving it a prime location for both high foot and vehicle traffic.
The cupcake sundae is awesome and its like having cake an ice cream each time. Most of us only have cake and ice cream at someone’s birthday party but here you can have it every day. Choose your cupcake, flavor of ice cream, add either hot fudge or caramel, some whip cream and multi colored sprinkles and voila your Rock N’ Roll Cupcake Sundae. Just describing it is making my mouth water.
The owner is great and very personable with everyone. He has come up with a great concept of combing what we all love, Rock N’ Roll, and cupcakes and turned into something we can enjoy every day and at the same time. You could go to your local bakery or grocery store to get a large order of cupcakes but they won’t compare to the different kinds of cupcakes this place has. They do offere delivery if you choose one of their party packages for a reasonable fee within 3 miles of their location. If you are visiting Los Angeles/​Hollywood you have to stop by this place and try one because if you don’t your missing what some people would call a small slice of heaven.

I’ve been here a few times now and it seems like they’re finally starting to get everything dialed in. The cupcakes are really good and the frosting is very tasty! I love that the cupcakes are «normal» sized and that the frosting isn’t overwhelming. And even better is the price! Being «job-​free,» I try to save money where I can… and trust me, I like some of the more «upscale» cupcake places, but the cupcakes here are only $ 1.90 compared to the $ 3.50 you’d pay at some of the fancier places. And they’re just as good. Ha! I could almost buy two different flavors instead of just one somewhere else! And variety *is* the spice of life. My favorite is the chocolate/​chocolate AKA: Linkin Dark!
I still haven’t tried their signature «Cupcake Sundae,» but my friend did and it looks great! I’ve had the orange creamsicle milkshake (kind of like a ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ bar in shake-​form) and that was really good. They also have strawberry soda, which is something you don’t see everyday. Not necessarily MY cup of tea, but figured I should mention it just in case someone’s looking for that sort of thing. I think I’ve only ever seen that in the South when I’ve been traveling.
The owner is really friendly and personable. Sounds like he’s tweaking things here and there still, but so far, he’s off to a great start! Plus, they have this really cool patio so you can just eat cupcakes and have prime people-​watching seats on Sunset! Oh, and they have free wi-​fi, you just have to ask for the password.
Oh, and maybe the best part for me (besides the price), there is off-​street parking in a parking lot. When I don’t feel like walking, I need to be able to find parking without stressing about it.
Overall, I’d say the cupcakes are 4 stars, the milkshake was 4.5 stars, but the pricing, parking, patio and owner bump it up to 5 stars overall. I love places where they recognize me when I’ve only been there a couple times.

This little cupcake spot is literally the newest treasure in Hollywood! They have a small yet adequate selection of cupcakes! Rather than so many cupcake places anymore their cupcakes are a normal size (which means you can enjoy a whole cupcake **almost**guilt free;) & their frosting is literally the best cream cheese frosting I’ve ever had! Not too sweet but still creamy! But, it is their CAKE that is WONDERFUL! So flavorful & moist! I took my birthday party there on Friday night & the owner could not have been more kind & helpful! Best part is that their cakes are only $ 1.90 each AND they’re open LATE on the weekends!

Ok these peeps are getting two stars because their employee was extremely nice and very helpful. The cupcakes were bad!!! The cupcake itself was dry and the frosting was blah. They did not have a great selection. I will not be going back!!!

I truly think this should actually be one star, but the guy was really nice and I love their concept. The cupcakes were all over cooked and pretty dry… frostings were pretty bland, and a little on the loose side, but tasted very fresh. Everything was topped with an m&m which in itself is not a sin, but putting chocolate on a key-​lime cupcake seemed a bit to twee. Red velvet cake actually tasted like chalk with a really lingering synthetic flavor, almost like you were chewing on your mom’s sun damaged curtains??? In this terrifying world of the Machiavellian cupcake, I worry about these competing.

I’ve been here twice and am thinking of going back today actually.
My first time at Rock’n’Roll cupcakes, I got the cupcake sundae: red velvet underground cupcake with mocha almond ice cream. One scoop of ice cream and a decent size cupcake. It was DELICIOUS! Maybe my favorite creation ever. I literally have been thinking about that damn sundae since the day I got it.
My second time there, I got my manager the Oreo Speedwagon, and I got Heath Richards. Heath Richards was SO GOOD. When I went, they only had 4 flavors (the 3 I’ve already mentioned, and Sweet Child O’Lime), but I hear they now have 7, so I have to go back!
The hours are good (open til 10pm) and the cupcakes only go for $ 1.90 each, which is literally unbeatable in this town. Go get some rock’n’roll cupcakes!

Rock n’ Roll Cupcakes is an arena’s worth of awesome, stuffed in a venue the size of a roadside dive bar’s unisex bathroom — complete with a waiting line that suggests Whitesnake already rocked «Slide it In», and all the girls want to hit the bathroom during «All I Want is You».
– not that that’s a bad thing.
Rock n’ Roll Cupcakes (hereafter «RRCC») so small, there isn’t even a dining room; it’s more like one of those old Fotomat kiosks in supermarket parking lots from the 1970s that, rather than being torn down when the format faced obsolescence, were instead refurbished to become late night drive-​by cigarette/​sheepskin car seat cover/​porn dealers.
Ballin’ !
There’s only one employee behind the window at RRCC, and it’s a feast for the eyes to watch him or her rhythmically pour your coffee, box your «I Fondue to Want Me» cupcakes, bun your chili dog, and sprinkle chopped walnuts on your sundae, all without missing a beat to the AC/​DC songs humming at midvolume on the aging stereo next to the register, held together with duct tape and a «Clinton/​Gore ’96» sticker.
Prices for cupcakes are usually $ 1.99 to $ 2.50, with each named cleverly after either a rock band or rock song. RRCC will take your credit or debit card if you’re not the sort who carries money. Aside from the gimmicky labeling of the food, the taste itself isn’t all that spectacular, though it isn’t bad either.
Chances are, if you’re strolling down Sunset Boulevard late at night and eating cupcakes your standards aren’t Waldorff-​Astoria high anyway, so enjoy yourself. There’s a patio next to the order-​window in case you need to sleep off the sugarhigh.
Don’t do it at noon and let your friends take cellphone pics though, because you know how moms are all on Facebook now, and will want you to explain why you were eating cupcakes for lunch.
(Whether you’re three, or twenty-​three, getting hit with a bedroom slipper and being pulled by the earlobe hurts!)

You all know about the «rock n roll» Ralph’s…
well right down the street in the El Pollo Loco parking lot is a little walk-​up window where you can order hot dogs, coffee & cupcakes!
With cute names like «oreo speedwagon» and «sweet child o lime» I just had to try ‘em. I cruise on up to the window and I see their menu also includes cupcake sundaes with a variety of ice cream flavors to choose from. Next time I am wandering around drunk in Hollywood i don’t have to stagger around in grocery store aisles, they pretty much have everything i’ll be needing right here!
There were only 4 flavors to choose from at the time, and by far the Heath Richards was the tastiest. The size of these cakes pales in comparison to other cupcakeries, and they kinda taste like something you’d get at a 2 year old’s birthday party, but when you’re hankering for something sweet these will do in a pinch.
…can’t wait to try «rage against the vanilla bean»
