Can't get enough of this place. So excited they decided to open one here in La Jolla - Beverly Hills was a little too far to drive for these decadent, yummy cupcakes. I especially love the red velvet!

Extremely disappointed! Would've asked for my money back but didn't want to wait in line.The cupcakes at Cups on Girard Ave. LJ blow these away!! Have never had a bad one there and I use them for all my catered parties. Just thinking about their cardamon spice with cream cheese icing makes my mouth water!

The shop is so pretty and charming, but I guess I just don't like cupcakes. These were overly sweet, too large and stuck to my teeth.

The cupcakes are good, but normally one must stand on the sidewalk outside to wait in line because the place is so small. They bend you over on the price, and they actually tell you to keep the door closed (which means people must stand outside on the sidewalk) so they can "maintain the freshness of their cupcakes"...to me this...

We stopped here on our trip to CA last week. I love cupcakes and have been to a good number of local cupcakeries where we live. Sprinkles is by far the best cupcakes we've had from a shop. The frosting was creamy (and there was a lot of it!) and the cake was moist and rich. My husband had the... More

Sprinkles is one of my favorite cupcake shops in the world. Although its small and the line is often out the door the cupcakes are delicuos! they are a little bit over priced though.

These cupcakes tasted good, but the location is always busy, the cupcakes are extremely overpriced, and just looking at signs around in addition to the price shows the business is overly proud of their relatively "normal" cupcakes.

Sprinkles cupcakes are very well known and they certainly live up to their expectations. I got a coconut cupcake and it was great! They do not have anything exotic or unusual- just your basic cupcakes. Be prepared to wait in line- I went and waited for a little while and they had the cupcake I wanted but they were all... More

We have gone to Sprinkles several times because we keep getting sucked into the 'concept' The cupcakes look great, the store is cute & trendy, but we are always disappointed by the flavor & textured.

Treat yourself to a delicious sugary bit of heaven at Sprinkles. When your mood is either up or down, Sprinkles is your friend. Their popular red velvet is amazing! A little on the pricey side, but in my opinion it is worth it.
