Sprinkles Cupcakes

Tasty Cupcakes. My Fav is the Black and white. Line is usually long but goes by fast. It’s a tiny location what do you expect.

If I am just strolling around the grove and want something sweet this is my go-​to place! The girls that work here are always friendly and greet me with a warm smile! Not to mention, their cupcakes are always delicious and fresh! Couldn’t complain at all about this location!
Their milk chocolate cupcake is my favorite!

Two words: QUALITY CONTROL
Candace Nelson is quite critical of taste, texture and moisture as one of the judges of Cupcake Wars, yet her own product lacked all these important qualities.
Red Velvet: dry and dense and lacked the flavor one looks for in a red velvet. The cream cream frosting was too sweet and did not compliment the cupcake well as it was missing cream cheese accent.
Strawberry: nothing to rave about, simple strawberry cake with super sweet strawberry frosting
Cuban Coffee: very dry cake, the frosting was probably the best part as it had the right amount of coffee.
Chocolate Marshmallow: the marshmallow center had a pleasant taste, but was a very small filling as compared to the size of the cupcake itself. I wished there was a little more, but another dry cupcake.
This place is overrated and I really wanted to like this place as I am a true cupcake lover. The hype is just that, hype… Candace Nelson needs to personally oversee her product.

Really? You charge me extra $ 10 for (4) Christmas tree buttons on the cupcake?
Not cool.

Super convenient location! I like how it’s not a full store, seems to streamline things. The line wasn’t as long at this location & went by pretty quickly (on a Thursday night). Even with only two workers. they were fast! And super friendly.
My usual is the red velvet since I know it will always be available. But I tried their gingerbread cupcake. so yummy! My friend got the black & white cake which was chocolatey goodness! Of course I had to get a pupcake for my spoiled monster. she absolutely looves them! She’s super picky. so being the weirdo I am, I tried her pupcake once & it tastes almost like a regular cupcake, just less sugar so even some people might prefer that one.
I’ve loved every flavor I’ve tried at any Sprinkles. But these cupcakes are definitely for people with sweet tooths! They’ve never been dry and I love their thick, sugary frosting. I used to think they were overpriced but they’re actually not compared to other cupcake stores. Tryy one if you love cupcakes!

Candace Nelson the owner of Sprinkles is a judge on cupcake wars and has exacting standards so my expectations were high.
I ordered the red velvet and banana chocolate cupcakes.
The cake of the banana chocolate cupcake was too dense and almost tasted like a breakfast pastry. The frosting was acceptable but a tad too sweet. Overall a solid but unexceptional cupcake.
Red velvet was next, the cake this time was moist and flavorful. A huge improvement over the previous cupcake. The frosting was good and contrasted nicely with the flavor of the cake but once again I found it too sweet. The frosting to cake ratio was heavily skewed towards the cake and I could’ve used more frosting.
Overall, Sprinkles is a solid choice. My disappointment comes mainly from the hype attached to its owner.

I came here last night because I can’t visit the grove without purchasing a Sprinkles cupcake. We got there about 2 hours before closing and they were basically out of everything! I really want to take home a swirl cupcake but they were completely sold out. This is a smaller location that’s located by the lobby, so I guess it’s understandable that they have a smaller selection, but they had a full 2 hours left before closing! Next time I’m visiting the Beverly hills location.

Pretty small sprinkles shop. Located right next to a parking garage; 1^st an hour free parking is amazing! Their red velvet cupcake is must eat!!! Friendly staffs! (Clean restroom is in the same building too.)
Sprinkles cupcakeのお店と同じ建物に1時間無料で駐車出来るという素晴らしいロケーション！他のレビューにも書かれているように、レッドベルベットのカップケーキは必ず食べないと損してます！笑 日本にいる母からお土産として頼まれるほど美味しいです。お店の人もフレンドリーに話しかけてくれます。(Sprinkles cupcakeのお店の奥に、とっても綺麗なトイレ有り)

Lived here all my life and FINALLY I had a Sprinkles cupcake. We came at 10:30 on a Friday night and the line was pretty long. I was surprised that they still had a lot of cupcakes left and they were still bringing out some more since they close at 11. I got the mini cupcake (vanilla)…so delicious. It wasn’t OVERLY sweet (the frosting either). It was honestly the perfect size for me.
The regular sized ones though… WOW that’s a lot of frosting. My friend got the Red Velvet one and ended up just scraping off all of it; BAM, half the calories gone right there. It’s like an inch of frosting!
Can’t wait to be back to try more flavors like their dark chocolate and banana one or their smores one: D

This is a small shop located at The Grove. The lines can get pretty crazy on a high traffic day so beware to wait patiently in a small space with not much of a breeze :)
The Cupcakes are pretty good but I do not understand the hype… they aren’t all that. I have truly had better. They offer regular and mini sized cupcakes in a variety of different flavors. Although, not every flavor on the board is available each day. They also have dog cupcakes! imagine that!

Love me some Sprinkles! I’ve been to two Sprinkles… different location in LA and in Atlanta. However, this location in the Grove has no ATM and you can’t walk inside. Not a problem though because the customer service was very friendly and the wait wasn’t that bad from being in a tourist spot.
I’m never disappointed from Sprinkles. I tried the dark chocolate cupcake this time and I’m so glad I did. My new favorite!

I don’t even really like cupcakes!
…but I went here on a suggestion from a foodie friend who gave me a list of places I had to try while I was in LA. I felt guilty I hadn’t gotten to any of her suggested places, so I figured I’d stop by Sprinkles since it was so close to where I was staying… and for the record I went back again and again– a total four times in 3 weeks.
These cupcakes are ridiculous! My favorite is the Coconut. I’ve had a few others but I keep going back to that. I love that they have the mini cupcakes too, so you can sample another flavor. They are very sweet, in case that bothers you. But they are amazing and worth the calories. That said, I’m glad there isn’t a Sprinkles near my hometown… or I’d be running a lot more often to work off my habit.

This place is so overrated! Seriously, a lot of people that I know like it cause of their name I guess. You know the feeling when you buy branded clothes but the cheaper clothes have way better quality. That’s what I feel when eating their cupcakes lol. Honestly, there are a lot way better places to grab cupcakes! Their cupcakes literally taste like a spoonful of sugar and no other flavor. I gave them 2 stars just because they have good costumer service, but that’s about it!

Sprinkles cupcakes man… this place rocks! One bite of their red velvet and it was nom-​nom good! Service was excellent and with genuine smiles too! They also have cupcakes for your dogs! How cool is that? If I lived in the area, I’d definitely take my dogs here on a morning stroll and chill and enjoy your delicious cupcakes!
Until then, Cheers! ~ :p

I’d never been to Sprinkles before but had heard the cupcakes are to die for. So even though the line was long, I had to try it out. I had the Black and White– chocolate cake with vanilla frosting and chocolate sprinkles. Perfect blend of dense chocolate cake with creamy vanilla frosting. Frosting was sweet but not overly so and the consistency of the frosting was excellent and not overly thick. Also got one of the little «pup cakes» for my dog and she seemed to enjoy it :)
So, yes… believe the hype. Be prepared to wait. It’s worth it.

I was extremely disappointed the last time I was here. It wasn’t my first time. Unfortunately they are only able to help one person at a time because of the lack of windows and registers. Imagine if you’re stuck behind someone who is confused, inconsiderate, over excited, and can’t choose a dozen cupcakes to save her life. My friends who were visiting from out of town did NOT get to try the cupcakes.
We walked up prior to her choosing her DOZEN cupcakes. I think she should have said «please go first, I’ll take a few years deciding which ones I want». She didn’t need to be eating any cupcakes either… yup I said it. After a while we finally left the line. She was taking her sweet azzzzz time.
They should definitely do something about being able to help multiple people at once. Imagine when it’s hot and customers are standing in line for a while to get close to the window and are stopped by a deranged cupcake lady. I mean… the cupcakes already cost an arm and a leg, why do people have to wait in that line for so long.
Also…they dot validate. What’s up with that. They’ll tell you to go validate somewhere else. That’s their cost saving method in guessing.
I’ll stick with donuts.

Wasn’t a fan of their dry red velvet cupcakes here, so I was told to try the ones at their Beverly Hills location instead.
Wasn’t much of a line, so I suppose that was a sign.
Bottom line: Dry red velvet cupcake with a hard white coated top.
My next mission will be to try the Beverly Hills location.
This is why there’s so much traffic in LA.
The fact that I have to drive to a different location will mean one more car on the road!
Wish this cupcake was 4 stars to save me the communicating.

Hit or miss I suppose.
I have came here numerous times and the cupcakes I had were good. But this week, it was super disappointing.
–The Margarita Cupcake was dry and flavorless. There wasn’t much flavor the whole cupcake. Margarita screams lime, there was none present from what was tasted.
–The Vanilla Cupcake moist, but also flavorless. When I order this cupcake it usually has specs of what is supposed to be Madagascar Vanilla, none was present in my cupcake this time. Either the bakers ran out or forgot. None the less, disappointing.
–The Salted Caramel was dry and salty. Tasted more like butterscotch than Caramel, because it had more of a buttery taste. It was so dry I gave the rest of the bottom of it to my dog. He enjoyed it.
–My dogs enjoyed their cupcakes (the dog cupcakes) & my past experiences have been good here, but I guess it is hit or miss here.
I probably won’t be back if the vanilla cupcake doesn’t have vanilla specs present and if they continue to be so dry. For the amount of money, I want it to be worth it and this past visit, it wasn’t worth the extra money or calories.

I always saw Sprinkles on TV or on Unilocal.finally got to visit one! We went to The Grove to shop but I had no idea there was a Sprinkles window here, so I was pleasantly surprised.
We decided to grab one to share on our way out of The Grove. Went with the peanut butter frosting + banana cupcake. It was moist and tasty. I was surprised it wasn’t too sweet because from first glance I thought there was too much frosting on top. But it was perfectly balanced and I would have 5 more if I could go back!
Knocking down a star because it’s just a window and there’s no place to sit and enjoy your cupcake because of the crowds. Also, they only have mini cupcakes of certain flavors — no mini banana :(

I embrace Sprinkles, no matter where or when. From OC to LA (and I’ve yet to try SD).
I shan’t rant of what is clearly evident about Sprinkles, it being all the rage and fave for some. I will just testify to their cupcakes being a handheld filling splendor, for me.
3 flavors suffice here for me. Nothing more, nothing less. Banana (with creamy vanilla), strawberry and red velvet.
The fact that there was pretty much no line when we got here (1235pm on a Saturday) and superb customer service from a cheerful cashier named Brianna, that was enough to win me over! I’m easy.
However, I do miss the days when a dozen cupcakes only cost $ 36. instead of the now $ 42.(gulp)(sigh) – Hence, the 4 instead of 5 stars.
Being the cheapskate I am, I only bought 6 for $ 22.50 o_​O
