It's just the right about of sweetness! I ordered 7 dozen mini cupcakes in assorted flavors for a baby shower and everyone went crazy over the design and flavors. I highly recommend this bakery. The owner Maria is very kind and was extremely helpful.

I was intrigued and stepped inside to find a delightful interior and the friendliest employees. This spot has now become a regular stop for me. The rotating menu of flavors, as well as their gluten free, dairy free and vegan options (which are delicious!) make it an inclusive option. I love how natural the fruit flavors, like the strawberry truffle, are. One of my favorites is the fleur de sel which has that perfect saltiness to its chocolate base. Honestly all of the flavors have been a joy to try. The counter service is always friendly and so helpful! And if you're feeling like a smaller serving, they have minis! A great option for elevated cupcakes.

Celebrate with Stars and Sprinkles!!…read more Were you a fan of Cupcake Wars? Sugar Rush? Hard to believe with all of the cupcake bakeries that compete for customers today, but Sprinkles was the first. Candace Nelson and her husband, two investment bankers, left that industry after the dot-com bust and started their baking empire out of their home kitchen. What started as custom cakes eventually became high end cupcakes with sophisticated flavors and ingredients. They opened the world's first cupcake bakery in Beverly Hills in 2005. And the rest is cupcake history. Sign up for their rewards program for a sweet birthday treat. So many delicious choices from the iconic red velvet to dark chocolate, carrot cake, salted caramel to triple cinnamon. Seasonal specials like s'mores and Christmas cookies in July are available on a limited bake schedule. Have a craving after hours? Head to the Sprinkles ATM which was imagineered when Candace herself had a pregnancy cupcake craving and couldn't get a delicious cupcake for herself. Such a cute idea. Thanks for the sweet birthday treat and all those great cupcakes over the years.

Why did I visit this Sprinkles location? Well, if you're super petite, you likely already know. The…read moreonly Banana Republic and Anthropology locations with petite sections within 90 miles of my residence are right around the corner (one in walkable distance of this cupcakery, which is relevant because parking in this area can be challenging.) Anyways, this review is clearly about cupcakes! I was drawn to revisit Sprinkles due to one of theirs seasonal bakes- the lemon meringue. However, when I arrived, the salty caramel, chocolate marshmallow, and dark chocolate all looked equally tasty, so...I bought them all! I wish I could say that I then parceled them out over the next couple of days, but the reality is, my culinary sweet tooth won, and I tried all but the dark chocolate the day of purchase...I did also share with a few friends, I promise. While I have fond memories of Sprinkles in the past, these cupcakes weren't as I remember. The lemon meringue was tasty apart from the graham cracker crust that felt either old or lacking crisp (the salt was nice though). The chocolate marshmallow was sadly the most expensive Hostess cake I've ever bought, and the sugar topper on the salted caramel, just shouldn't be eaten...maybe I got a bad one?! With almost all of the bakes the flavors seemed right or near right, but the crumb seemed off. On the plus side, when the order tablets are acting up, the customer service is great, the store was super clean, and there's a cupcake vending machine...score! So in the world of cupcakeries, this one is a solid aight, but I'll be visiting the location closer to my home base soon, fingers crossed.

It never really seems that busy when I go, yet I rarely get my order on time. Still, when the cookies finally arrive, they're almost always worth the wait--even at gourmet cookie prices. One knock on cleanliness: during my last visit, someone had spilled an entire container of frosting right outside the entrance. It was still there when I left after sitting in my car for over 10 minutes waiting for my order, which didn't give the best impression. All that said...I'm addicted. I'll always find my way back at least once a month, if not weekly--assuming my paycheck can survive the gourmet cookie budget. NOTE: I love me some Crumbl Cookies, but let's be real--they'd have to give me four of the new thin chocolate chip cookies to come close to the value of a real classic chocolate chip cookie.

Sprinkles cupcakes recently announced their closure, which was sad, but I've always liked Crave more. Walking in, the staff is always friendly, and you immediately smell freshly baked cupcakes. The ambiance is clean, but casual with a few seats to enjoy an afternoon treat, although a majority of people take the cupcakes to go. Flavor wise, you really can't go wrong with any of them. I'm a sucker for chocolate so that's usually my go to, but I personally like bringing the box of minis to parties because it comes with flavors for everyone. 10/10 would recommend! I'll be back soon Crave cupcakes!

On my most recent visit, I was able to provide my phone number to the employee to redeem my free cupcake which was super convenient. The cupcakes seem smaller to me than in the past, but apparently the size hasn't changed. The price of a cupcake ranges $5-$6 depending on the flavor. I've had quite a few flavors over the years. On my last trip, I ordered the Vietnamese Coffee cupcake. If you love coffee, get this cupcake! The espresso flavor is very prominent in the cake and icing. It's also filled with condensed milk butter cream which was a fun surprise! The chocolate espresso candy on top was a nice touch. The employees have always been nice and helpful. There is no seating at the store, but there's places to sit around Rice Village if you don't want to wait to enjoy your treat. This location is the only brick and mortar left in Houston and they do have the cupcake ATM. I've never used it, but I believe it is available 24/7. If you don't mind a short walk, you can park for free (first 2 hours) in one of the garages. There's also limited free street parking and paid metered parking spaces.

As a national chain, Sprinkles is one of the most recognized cupcakeries in the country. This…read morelocation is one of two in the Houston area and is sandwiched between Sweetgreen and Van Leeuwen ice cream along Amherst St in Rice Village. The storefront is noticeable, even the actual store is small but clean and brightly lit. Customer service isn't nearly as warm as it should be, which is a reason why I don't always prefer to come here. The cupcake ATM is a real thing and is an easy selling point for folks who enjoy the idea of ordering on the spot from a pseudo vending machine. While it can get crowded on occasion, I've rarely had to experience a wait here. In terms of the cupcake variety, the selection is quite good. It's all incredibly expensive, but that is to be expected. Expect to pay as much as $6 for each, and up to $80 for their layer cakes. They also have mini cupcakes, cookies, and brownies, with gluten-free and vegan options. There are also $3 pupcakes, which are friendly for our canine companions. The rainbow layer cake is gorgeous, despite being underwhelming for the price. Any of their cupcake bundles make for an excellent food gift, which are customizable on their website. The red velvet is a classic favorite, but I would argue the dark chocolate and strawberry is more in demand. The Vietnamese coffee has made it into the permanent rotation, however, the German chocolate, cookies and cream, as well as the lemon meringue are their seasonal ones currently. They also offer curbside service and a pick up station for folks who order online. Parking can be a challenge during the daytime, especially since many of the Rice Village spots requirement payment.
