at $3.25 a cupcake, some may find a trip to sprinkles unworthy of their money or time…especially since there most often is a line out the door. having been to several cupcake stores around west LA (susie’s in brentwood, yummy cupcakes in santa monica, and crumbs just down the street from sprinkles…yep, you could say i’ve got a sweet tooth), i think sprinkles does offer the best cupcakes. moist, sweet, fresh, and they look gourmet. inside, there’s a few window seats and outside, a couple small tables if you want to eat your cupcakes on site. otherwise, not much room really to sit and relax.

Sprinkles is DELICIOUS! The only problem is that they’re expensive. You can eat inside at a bar table facing the street or cafe style tables outside. My friend and I ate outside and it was a nice day.

Cupcakes are really good, but htey are normal size. They only downfall is that it costs appx 3 dollars per cupcake; but they are gourmet cupcakes so it’s kinda worth the price.

So rich you can barely finish one. Favorite is Dark Chocolate and most popular is Red Velvet. I like it over Daintie’s cupcakes. Almost $4/cupcake but worth it based on the ingredients they use. There is almost always a line outside.

A little pricey for cupcakes… but they are good. I went to the one in newport beach, which wasn’t that crowded. They have different types of cupcakes available each day. Their red velvet was ok and their lemon coconut is pretty good.

But like I said, a lil too pricey for my taste just for cupcakes.

Red Velvet Sprinkles cupcakes are like heaven in your mouth.

I enjoyed the rich Red Velvet cupcake, but hesitate to return because of the prices.

…. it would taste a lot like the Key Lime Pie flavored cupcake.

I’ve got to hand it to Sprinkles: They took something as banal and nostalgic as a cupcake, and made it into the latest celebrity trend.

But much like Ugg sherpa boots worn with miniskirts, a once-novel, LA-centric fashion statement that has suffered a great deal from overexposure in every mall in middle America, the “gourmet cupcake” has really seen its time come and go.

Sprinkles cupcakes are pretty, but overrated and overpriced. I hated mine so much that I actually scraped off my hunk o’ frosting.

If you want a yummy cupcake on the go, “me too” cupcakeries are sprouting up everywhere. Within a few blocks of my apartment in Santa Monica are at least two cupcakeries, one of them being Vanilla Bake Shop, which I’d recommend over Sprinkles without hesitation.
