Alice FangJuly 2, 2015Red velvet is a favorite. Just about everything is good. There's even vegan and gluten-free options!
You can download the sprinkles app on your phone to find the word of the day to get a free cupcake. Favorite cupcakes: German chocolate, chocolate marshmallow, strawberry, and lemon!
Great selection and awesome "special" flavors throughout the year. Love these cupcakes, but, yes, they are very, very sweet. Follow them on social media for contests and BOGO deals!
Brynne FitzpatrickOctober 9, 2011Try their vanilla cupcakes and follow them on twitter for their secret word of the day to score a free treat!
Jennifer OrmerodMarch 13, 2018Red Velvet Cupcakes are my top pick, followed by Chocolate Coconut, and Carrot.
Irish chocolate - Belgian dark chocolate topped with Baileys Irish cream cheese frosting & Chocolate cake with raspberry frosting dipped in ganache. Amazing!
Ellen LaiJuly 1, 2010After sampling a number of high-end cupcake joints, I'd have to say Sprinkles's Red Velvet still takes the "cake". har har har. Seriously, amazing flavors and the frosting is so buttery.
Amazing! Huge cupcakes, and they look so pretty... Red velvet cupcake is a must.
Kimberly SmileyJuly 15, 2015Order ahead online & then you can skip the line & your cupcakes will be bagged & ready to go.
Stephen LeeDecember 17, 2011Different flavor cupcakes are available on different days of the week. Ask the friendly Sprinkles staff for a flavors chart by the week!
- Nick FruendtDecember 10, 2011Follow them on Twitter and find the word of the day for a free cupcake,,, just be sure to say the right word AHEM ARIEL
MatMay 21, 2010The lines on the weekends can get insane. Go early am on saturdays and Sundays. If you come at the end of the day, a lot of their flavors will be sold out.
Food & WineApril 25, 2011Candace Nelson's cupcake empire started with a Beverly Hills shop in 2005, serving creative varieties like Ginger Lemon and Chai Latte.
Jenny ChenMay 4, 2013It's funny how the Beverly Hills AND Newport Beach store gives you your cupcake in a box, but at this Palo Alto one, they put it in a doggie bag and tries to charge you for the box. Ridiculous.
Pumpkin cupcakes have returned! Fridays are Chai Cupcake days!
Try a vegan red velvet or take a treat home for puppy!
Daniel O'LearyFebruary 1, 2014Delicious cupcakes but completely disorganized and painful ordering and pickup
Dj Slick DOctober 11, 2011Mmmm!!! Love this place! Make sure to follow them on Twitter for that special treat.
Angela YuMay 20, 2011Black and white with a cold cup of skim milk. Take your cupcake and milk outside and sit at the tables in front of Sigona's/Max's.
if you think their frosting is too much, try their chocolate marshmallow. no frosting on there. it's SO DELICIOUS!
Helen EvansApril 22, 2010Really nice cakes. Would love them to offer a mini size as standard to a bit too big.
