Try at Least Once
“Oh Sprinkles, Your cupcakes have become drier than a boring brick wall. What happened?”

Sara's full firsthand review

Oh Sprinkles, Your cupcakes have become drier than a boring brick wall. What happened? Within the span of two months I have visited twice. During both occasions the environment was bleak and dry, just as their latest installation of cupcakes churning out. Not sure what's goin' on but this used to be the happening place for cupcakes. Especially for all of those uptown vibe folks. Ironically their latest installation of all things cookies and brownies are far tastier and tender compared to their brick version of cupcakes. Again, the cupcakes are dry these days and are lacking flavor. Way too sweet and dry. This place used to have such tender cuppycakes and the environment used to be completely different. Warmer, softer and sweeter is how it used to be, ahem, just like their cupcakes. Should they change their name Sprinkles Cookies? Maybe. Brownies and cookies are baked fresh in house daily. Other than that, Sprinkles has a small selection of decadent treats. May need to reconsider and find another sweet tooth spot for cupcakes+ other treats because this place ain't racking up. Nevermind the 24/7 ATM cupcake machine in the back. Sometimes it doesn't work. Other than that, I hope this place does a 360 and finds a way to save their recipe. After all, they should hold on to the namesake of this place. Moving' on.

What we tried

Sara tried cupcake, cookies. The visit exposed several shortcomings in execution, service, or consistency that outweighed the positives.

The experience

Service felt friendly and attentive. The atmosphere or upkeep could have been better.

Who might enjoy it?

Dessert lovers.

Would we go again?

Probably not. The visit had enough drawbacks to make a return unlikely.
