Sprinkles Cupcakes

A girlfriend and I stopped by this adorable cupcake shop after eating lunch today. She raved about how good they are and so I bought four for my family.
I had the Dark Chocolate with chocolate sprinkles. The icing was so delicious, the cake was nice and moist… I’m just not a cake person. Now if the cake part had some dark chocolate chips incorporated in the cake, then I’d be a huge fan!
The décor is fun and it’s in hip 12 South. Sprinkles even has a cupcake ATM for after hours… pretty cool!

Ok, so I’ve heard a lot about this Cupcake ATM. My initial thoughts were the cupcakes have got to be all hype. Boy was I wrong, I selected the dark chocolate cupcake and my hubby got the brownie. Very, Very good cake, moist and just the right amount of frosting. The treats didn’t make it out the parking lot lol!

The cupcakes were OK. We got Red Velvet and Vanilla Sprinkles. We went into the bakery instead of using the vending machine. I can see how the concept is a novel idea but other than that the cupcakes were marginal. Also they are quiet expensive for their size. 8 dollars for two cupcakes seems a little steep. You are mainly paying for the name, and not really the quality. There are much better cupcake options in town. Although it is nice to see that they offer other things other than cupcakes, like ice cream. It could be a good change from Jeni’s for people looking for something different.

I was looking forward to Sprinkles coming to Nashville ever since seeing it in Houston. The location on 12^th south is perfect to grab a sweet treat after dinner. There is no in store seating so plan on going somewhere to eat. We went to Portland Brew across the street to add a coffee to our cupcake date.
I love that they have minis so I can have two flavors but not feel sick after eating two full cupcakes. I got the chocolate marshmallow and red velvet mini. The chocolate marshmallow was good but a bit messy. I prob wouldn’t get it again, I really couldn’t taste the marshmallow flavor. The red velvet was awesome, I’ll get it every time I go. They both were so fresh and moist. There was a good ratio of cake to icing as well.
Totally recommend going when you need a sweet treat fix!

I am never a cupcake person but suddenly J had this huge cupcake craving these days and visited sprinkle cupcake twice in 2 days.
Taste — 4÷5− COCONUT is the best yo — the cake part is moist and the frosting jst sweet enough. Red velvet and carrot are good too. I also tried triple cinnamon and vanilla but they are too sweet for my taste. I really wanted to try banana but it’s all sold out when I was there (late at night).
Price — 3/​5-​on the pricey end of the spectrum.
3.95 for a full size cupcake. The mini ones are 2 $, get those if you want to try more flavors
Hours — 4/​5-​this store is open until 10pm, way later than others (typically around 5pm) so it’s definitely the go-​to choice if you have a sugar craving at night

I am absolutely and unbelievably obsessed. I have yet gone inside due to the little space and crowds. I have stopped by the cupcake ATM and purchased many many… Haha red velvet, hands down. Delicious! Ugh I’ll definitely be back asap, so good and so worth it!!!

We «treated «ourselves to a Cupcake on New Years Eve day after lunch in 12south! Had to check out all the buzz about this place!
Hubby ordered the coconut chocolate and a carrot cake one for me! At $ 4 a cupcake its a splurge! We were so full after our lunch, we brought them home for later! Later became the next day before we indulged! The flavor of both cupcakes was very good! The icing on my carrot cake cupcake had a great cream cheese flavor!
These are not huge –think other cupcake shops. It is a fun concept and a great addition to the 12 south eatery scene! Don’t know if I will indulge too often, but probably with take friends there when the visit!
Cool ATM for cupcake/​cookies outside! Saw people purchasing this way rather than wait in the line and then snapping a photo– great gimmick but not sure how long it will last!

I love love love cupcakes! I’m super pumped that they brought Sprinkles to Nashville finally.
Overall the space is very cute, but the service is surprisingly slow for just cupcakes/​cookies/​sweets and they had like 5 workers out, it was weird.
The cupcakes are super rich, and just the right amount of icing without making you feel sick! I love it! They are kinda pricey, I think I paid roughly like $ 3.75
*****WARNING**** if you get their cupcakes from the 24 vending machine it is $ 4.75 because it comes in a cardboard box.
Overall it was great and I’ll probably be back, I just wish the service was better.

Visited with a friend on a weekday afternoon. Not busy at all, besides the group of basic teenage girls having a photoshoot in front of the cupcake ATM/​storefront. There were a wide variety of choices of flavors, none really blew me away. It was basically chocolate, red velvet, chocolate and vanilla (black and white?) and a few fruit flavors, like strawberry. I didn’t see any flavors that I just had to have, so I settled for vanilla with sprinkles instead of the «dot» (because why not get sprinkles at Sprinkles). My friend said her banana cupcake was great, but I thought the vanilla was just okay. The vanilla tasted a little dry in my opinion. When I think of cake, I usually prefer it to be slightly moist… The ladies inside were super friendly though and the cupcake ATM is a nice feature. 3.75 for a cupcake vs. 4.25 outside at the cupcake ATM. Convenience fee, perhaps?
Probably wouldn’t go back on my own accord

I was lucky enough to try some of this cupcakes when my boyfriend brought some home after the media preview. I tried the banana and fell in love with it. It’s not an overly sweet cupcake but more of a rich flavor from the banana. Well, that was a few weeks ago and tonight we stopped by the location after dinner at Taqueria Del Sol. 12 South is really and up and coming place, isn’t it?
The store is located next to Dapper James (aka Reese Witherspoon’s fancy store). The Sprinkles cupcake shop has the infamous cupcake ATM. Whoever came up with this creation is marketing genius. I remember when they came out with the first one in Beverly Hills and it was on all the news sites. Now Nashville is lucky enough to have one. And the people of Nashville must love using it, because I’ve seen tons of Instagram/​Facebook/​Twitter pictures of people using it. Funny enough, when we stopped by around 8pm on a Wednesday night, there was a line of people using the ATM, taking pictures, taking selfies. At one point, the line was LONGER to use the cupcake ATM than to order from the counter inside. At it was 37 degrees outside!
Anyway, the inside of the store is pretty small. I think this part used to be an alleyway and they made it into the Sprinkles store. I was boring and ordered the banana cupcake again. I skimmed the counters and was only seeing chocolate stuff and this might sound crazy, but I’m not a huge fan of chocolate. Of course, after we ordered I saw the strawberry and the vanilla. I will have to try those next time. My friend (who is gluten free) was with us and got the gluten free red velvet cupcake and said it was very good for gluten free, nice and moist. Phillip got the captain crunch ice cream in a waffle cone. The cone was nearly falling apart and the girl making it behind the counter asked him if he wanted a different one, but it took it anyway. It take a little time for them to pack up the cupcakes. The presentation is worthy of the $ 3.75 price tag. I wished the bag had a couple napkins in it, however.
This is a great addition to the neighborhood and Nashville. I think they’ll have no problems bring in business from all the foot traffic along 12 South. I also think they aren’t in competition with the other cupcake places, such as Gigi’s because this isn’t so focused on a huge blob of icing on top. The flavors here are more simple and clean, in my opinion. I might even try out that ATM (maybe with a selfie too!).

I’m so sad after all the hype I have to leave a bad review. I called about an hour into them being open asking if they have the cupcakes for dogs and the girl said «yes we always have the cupcakes for dogs.» I drive 20 minutes to the store to have them tell me they do not have the dog cupcakes. If this is something that could have sold out or not have that day, you might want to make clear that you don’t «always» have them.

Delicious cupcakes but wow, be prepared to wait! Staff was very nice but they need to figure out a better way to fill orders with more pace. Hoping this is just a flaw of a new store.

Super excited to finally get a sprinkles in Nashville. It closed early today due to weather warnings but the ATM comes in handy when you have a sweet tooth. We got 4 cup cakes and 2 cookies. I’ve been to a few sprinkles on other places — DC, Chicago, and Vegas and have never been super impressed. I’d have to say the cup cakes were moist and fresh. Cookies tasted excellent and loved the chewy texture. Definitely will go back. I do struggle paying nearly 5 bucks for a cup cake which seems a bit high. Otherwise it’s definitely one of the better selections in Nashville.

My first visit was yesterday. The line and wait was ok. Only took about 10 minutes. I ordered the regular red velvet (not the vegan one) and a vanilla milk chocolate. The red velvet had a good flavor, the cream cheese icing was good. The icing to cake ratio was a little unbalanced (there was way more icing than cake). The cake was still good though. Not everyones red velvet cupcakes are good. The milk chocolate cupcake had a milk chocolate icing and vanilla cake. The icing was good, the cake was kind of hard and dry. My fiancé’ ordered the banana cupcake with vanilla icing. It was interesting. The cake had real bananas inside and tasted like banana bread with icing. It was ok, wouldnt get it again. Overall everyone was very nice, love the way the place looks. They have a cupcake atm in the front of the building which is pretty cool. The presentation of the cupcakes are awesome. The cupcakes were just OK, nothing to brag about. From the cupcakes I tasted, I still think Cupcake Collection has the best. I will definitely return to try a different cupcake and even their ice cream.

I’m so excited my favorite cupcakes opened a location in Nashville! I went today, and I’m going back tomorrow! A little piece of LA followed me to Tennessee ! The entire team is just as excited as I am! Everyone seems so friendly and sweet! Strawberry cupcakes are my absolute favorite, I could probably eat a dozen by myself! Tomorrow I’m having cupcakes AND ice cream!

We just left this cute little cupcake store and it gets 5 stars for me! Cupcakes are always overpriced in my opinion, and Sprinkles is no exception… but my sweet tooth doesn’t mind dishing out $ 3.75 for a good cupcake! They were very busy, as it is opening day, but we still received excellent service. We were greeted politely and got a big smile and a «Merry Christmas!» on our way out the door. I always appreciate genuine, kind customer service since it is not too common these days.
They had a big selection but I only got two flavors, lemon and gingerbread, and I can’t decide which is more delicious! Perfect cake-​to-​icing ratio. I do wish they had a greater variety available in the mini cupcakes so I could have sampled more flavors.
The only cupcakes I like better to this day are IveyCake… I don’t think anything will ever top Ivey! But it says a lot that I truly enjoyed Sprinkles considering I do not like Gigi’s or Cupcake Collection at all.
Definitely worth the visit and will be back!

Hello Sprinkles! Welcome to Nashville. Red Velvet cupcakes– oh how I’ve missed thee!
I was ready for a mad house but the line was manageable compared to waits I’ve experienced at other locations. The store is so small that there is no furniture on the customer side of the store. Heck, the walkway is barely wide enough for 2-​way foot traffic!
I suddenly became the new office favorite as I showed them what all the craze is about. Cupcakes have «good icing to cake ratio & the cake was fluffy so it doesn’t feel heavy» as we experienced their dark chocolate & black & white cupcakes.
While the Cupcake ATM is a nice feature, I laughed as the line for the ATM was longer than the store line.

Got a sneak peek of the new Nashville Sprinkles location Monday night for the VIP pre-​opening — it was awesome.
The line went down the block even with a limited number of attendees, so be prepared to wait when it does open to the public. The interior is very small and has no seating area. There is, however, a case full of delightful looking cupcakes, so who really cares about seating areas.
There aren’t just cupcakes on the menu — choices also include cookies, ice cream, cupcake sundaes, and cupcake ice cream sandwiches. Flavor choices vary depending on the week day.
I chose to try a cupcake sundae (cupcake bottom + ice cream + cupcake top) in their signature flavor — red velvet. The cake and ice cream were delicious, but what really sold me was the icing. Forget the cupcake atm, all I really need is an icing atm with cans full of this stuff. For the special opening, we also received a chocolate chip cookie that I (as a self-​described chocolate chip cookie aficionado) give two thumbs up.
The staff was very friendly, helpful, and did their best to move the line along. I doubt I’ll be back during store hours for a while to avoid the crowd, but I’ll happily be along late at night when I suspect no one is around to hit up the atm and indulge in a midnight sugar rush.

OMG you guys… Sprinkles has come to Nashville, opening a storefront (and cupcake ATM!) in the 12South neighborhood next to the new Draper James boutique! I had a chance to attend the store’s preview night, and I was totally fangirling the whole time.
Sprinkles arguably kicked off the cupcake craze in the U.S. with its Beverly Hills store. In my opinion, it has survived by growing deliberately, maintaining quality and consistency, and using fine ingredients and no preservatives, trans fats, or artificial flavors. They’ve also added fantastic ice creams and cookies to their line. I’ve compared them to a number of famous cupcake bakeries over the years (including Magnolia Bakery, Gigi’s, DC Cupcakes, etc.) and Sprinkles always wins with me.
The Nashville storefront is small, but beautiful! The ATM is located right out front, of course, and inside there’s a beautiful hand-​painted pink and white wall, great cupcake display, and friendly staff. I sampled a lot of goodies, and I love how my favorite banana cupcake tastes the same (moist, delicious, great frosting taste and ratio to cake) no matter what Sprinkles I visit.
Confession: I used to have my sister purchase Sprinkles at the store in Scottsdale, AZ, and hand-​carry them on the plane to deliver to me in TN. True story.
I also sampled some cookies, and my husband loved them even more than the cupcakes. Salted oatmeal cornflake cookie = amazing.

So this place officially opens December 17^th, but I was able to get a sneak peak during their friends and family event yesterday. I was a regular at the sprinkles in Dallas when I lived there for a couple years. Let me tell you Nashville, if you have never had cupcakes from sprinkles, you are in for a spectacular treat! Sprinkles cupcakes are hands down the best cupcakes I’ve had… like ever! They have so many fabulous flavors, but red velvet is always my go to! The black and white cupcake and the cinnamon come close in 2^nd and 3^rd.
Other than Gigi’s, there aren’t many cupcake places in Nash. Unlike Gigi’s cupcakes, sprinkles treats are not piled a mile high with starchy icing, so you don’t feel as disgusting after you eat them haha! In addition to that, the cake is more dense and so delicious!
But wait… it gets better :) sprinkles also has ice cream and cookies! You can get a sprinkle sundae which is basically a cupcake cut in half with ice cream in the middle! Yummy!
But it gets even better! After a crazy night out have you ever craved a 3am cupcake? At 3 am your only options are the Walmart bakery or making your own. NOT ANYMORE. Sprinkles has a cupcake ATM. That’s right, ²⁴⁄₇ cupcakes available at the ATM right outside the store. What more could you ask for in life.
The store itself is so cute, and in a great location! I think it’s the perfect addition to the 12 south area! Try Sprinkles! It will not disappoint!!!
