I've been trying to get to Isabella's Cupcakes for two years and today I finally made it! The shop was bumping with energy, the aroma of baked goods was pouring out the front door and the staff were serving happiness. I was quickly greeted by a staff member with a joyful "Welcome! What can I get for you?" This was gonna be one of the toughest decisions... which cupcakes do I get?!?!?? I knew I couldn't take one of each, that would be crazy. There were just too many to choose from. I finally decided on the Strawberry Shortcake (for me!), a Carrot Cake, the Lemon Lemon and the Salted Chocolate Caramel. Now that I got the goods, the next step is to get home as quickly as possible so I can enjoy these delights!!! Worth the wait! I took a bite of the Lemon Lemon and the Strawberry Shortcake...devine! Frosting was perfect, flavors were on point and I loved the cake was perfectly moist. 500 stars!!! read more

After hearing many positive reviews about this cupcake shop, I was looking forward to trying it for myself. Unfortunately, the cupcakes did not meet my expectations. While the presentation was appealing, the overall quality and flavor were underwhelming. The cake lacked the freshness and texture I would expect from a specialty bakery, and the frosting was overly sweet without much depth of flavor. The ingredients tasted more similar to commercially produced products than the premium, homemade quality that the shop's reputation suggests. That said, the customer service was excellent. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout my visit, which made for a positive experience despite my disappointment with the product itself. I understand that taste is subjective, and others may have a different experience. However, based on my visit, I did not find the cupcakes to live up to the high praise they receive. I appreciate the outstanding service and hope the quality of the cupcakes will better match the level of care shown by the staff in the future. read more

The staff was friendly, service was quick, there was no line or wait time. I've been seeing this place on Instagram so much so we decided to try. We drove an hour and a half out to try these cupcakes and I was truly saddened and disappointed with the outcome. The cupcakes are so beautiful, however quality didn't reflect the same thing and I'm so sad to say that. The cupcakes were dry, especially the tres leches cupcakes. We were expecting it to be more moist but it wasn't. All the cupcakes have the same whipped buttercream like frosting, which is unfortunate because that kind of frosting doesn't go with all flavor cakes. The frosting is definitely heavy handed and some had to be tossed because it was just too much. Give them a try for yourself, everyone has different taste. Unfortunately this was not for us. read more

Spent 30 dollars for the 6 cupcakes which is about 5 dollar a cupcake which isn't insane, cupcake shops run an average at that price. Service was quick and fast and overall nice. The cupcakes were not too dry nor were they too sweet. I did get some of the specialty flavors like the ube tres leches but it didn't feel much like a tres leches it wasn't really soaked in any milk. The boston cream pie cupcake was good but unfortunately the filling was frozen for me when I took the first bite. Other than those note, the cupcakes were good. read more

Came to Isabella's to purchase a few sweets for my friend's birthday. I ordered the Triple Chocolate cupcake and Minnie Mouse cake pop. Everything was beautifully presented, service was fast and friendly, and they even added a candle to the cupcake. My friend did mention the cupcake was a bit dry and I did feel $5 was steep for a cake pop. read more

The lady who helped me out in the front was super kind and gave me details about all of the fillings in the cupcakes. I got 3 cupcakes: Raspberry Lemon, Cookies and Cream, and Tres Leches. I've only tasted the first one so far but I'm excited to try the other two ASAP! read more

I have been meaning to stop by Isabellas cupcakes and was never able to until today. I was greeted when I entered the places clean and very cute. There is a side of cupcakes and on the other side I believe treats. I picked two cupcakes to go. They placed them in a cute pink box to go . I was able to try them once I got home and I must say they are so delicious. I'm so glad I was able to stop by and give them a try. read more

I've gradually nibbled my way around the cupcake menu here since the first visit, and the cupcake in a cup option is a big favorite presently. This is a nice operation and their skills are always on display, and include weekly and monthly, plus seasonal options. The lemon cupcake got the ball rolling, but my favorite is the velvet because they don't use cream cheese and that's why I enjoyed it so much. The cupcake in a cup is VERY messy. So much so that after I stood up outside my vehicle, I left a pile of red crumbs on the ground. I'm wondering if a shorter, wider cup would be a better choice for this one? Anyhow, for occasional sweet tooth cravings, I recommend this place very highly. read more

I've tried this place a few times in the past. Their cupcakes can be a hit or miss. The ones I've tried before were quite dry like it's been sitting there. I really wanted to like it though. So I finally came back to try it again after a couple of years or so. We picked three different flavors: carrot cake, cookies n' cream, and pumpkin. The best of the three was the cookies n' cream. It was a moist cake with fudge filling. The carrot cake was so dry but I love how they included a lot of walnuts. The frosting, however, was too buttery as if you're eating butter, if that makes sense. The pumpkin was okay. I give this place a 6/10. read more

I hate their logo lol it makes no sense to me. From a distance it looks like a dumpling. This bothers me because I drove past it several times and ignored it. I only noticed it when I saw a social media video. Anyway, I'm glad I popped in. I appreciate that their cupcakes aren't too sweet. The prices are a little high, but I'm more than happy to support a small family owned business. read more

Finally was back in the area and got around to trying this spot out. Perfect dessert to treat myself with a coffee for that mid day fuel. There were so many others that caught my eye but I went with the carrot cake cupcake. It was so delicious! Will definitely have to try something else next time around. read more

Do not buy the so called "surprise box" because literally you will get 4 OLD, UGLY TASTING, (but its appearance is good), small cupcakes, that you will have to throw away. Tasted more like 3-4days old.(ugly surprised). And! The owner does not care for your comments, owner thinks its the customers loss, basically! Really?loosing customers means loosing businesses. After reading all the reviews now, I see that many people are not happy with the tasteless cupcakes. Its an overpriced, cheap and old product. read more

Everything needs to be improved with this establishment. When we entered this bakery, it wasn't busy yet we weren't greeted at all and were ignored essentially by all members of the staff including the owner. Not welcoming environment whatsoever. The cupcakes are so overpriced for such terrible product. We were so thrilled to try them after seeing how beautifully they were presented on social media yet once that first bite hit our mouth--we were thinking to ourselves... this is what the hype is all about? A dry base with no real flavor probably a cake mix, with overly sweet frosting that also didn't taste much of what the flavor suggested I suppose trying to mask the dryness of the cupcake itself. Seriously, take your money somewhere else unless you want to get disappointed and end up not even eating them from how gross they are. read more

Hands down the best cupcakes I have ever had! The special of the weekend was Spumoni: a vanilla cupcake with chocolate filling, topped with pistachio icing, chocolate curls, and a maraschino cherry. This was the best cupcake I have ever tasted, I couldn't believe it! I also got the Chocolate Salted Caramel cupcake to try, and thought it couldn't top the Spumoni, but I was wrong. Another 10/10 cupcake, even after waiting a day to eat it! The icing is the real standout at Isabella's. So fluffy and light, while also having great flavor. I came home today dissapointed I did not have another one of these cupcakes to eat. read more

Ordered their tres leches de Dulce cup and it tasted very moist. The cupcake was delicious a tad bit on the sweeter side but I understand preference. Overall for $7 not bad read more

When we went to Isabella's years ago it was at the other location when the cupcake craze was still all the rage. As I recall they were better, more authentic tasting. This time I thought aesthetically they are pretty, but they tastes kind of like a grocery store cupcake and the icing tastes to me like what Ralphs used to use to ice their cakes which was something called bettercream. I don't know why they didn't just use authentic buttercream. They weren't bad, but just not great for $5 a piece. read more

This establishment has been on my radar for years, way before social media had hyped it up, but never had the chance to make my way over there until yesterday. In practicing self-control, I did a 4 pack cupcake at $21. I picked dulce de leche tres leches, carrot cake, chocolate salted caramel, cookie butter tres leches. They all tasted the way they were described to be. Dulce de leche tres leches was my favorite. Marshmallow fluff in the frosting for the carrot cake was surprisingly addiciting to me. I wanted more of it. Overall, the cakes were moist, and the frosting fluffy, airy and not too sweet (which is a compliment). I love that there's a decent assortment of flavors to choose from. I'll definitely be back again to try more flavors. read more

Today I visited this place after seeing it all over social media. I expected it to be pricey, but almost $6 for one cupcake felt steep. I'm usually okay with paying more if it's worth it--but for me, it wasn't. The cupcake had way too much frosting--almost half frosting, half cake. The cake itself was just okay, nothing special. Overall, I don't feel it was worth the price. Please also note as a lover of tres leches, the cupcake was dry af.. disappointing 6.5/10 read more

Isabella's Cupcakes & More - Tres leches cupcake - Cupcakes Near Me - Riverside, California

The cupcakes are dry and stale like others have mentioned.You really are rolling the dice on quality. But some can be moist. We got a 6 pack cuz the flavors sounded so delicious. Most dissapointing was the tres leches dulce. It was drier than the dirt at Coachella. Spumoni was fantastic though, which is why its hard to dislike the place. I could tell from biting down on the prezel on the salted caramel that it was stale and the cake was once again dry. So I think freshness is the issue. They also sold cake parfaits which is also suspicous for recycling product. My kid said the vanilla sprinkles cupcake was too sweet. IYKYK. They're definitely heavy handed on the frosting which is on par with most cupcake shops. read more

I was really interested in getting a customized cake from Isabella's Cupcakes & More for my sister's 19th birthday, but unfortunately the experience was very disappointing. I reached out to inquire about a custom cake and was contacted via email by someone named Diana Rodriguez, who asked me to provide specific details about the order. I sent all the requested information back the same day. After that, I never heard back. No follow-up, no confirmation, and no communication at all. I waited, assuming someone would reach out closer to the event date, but unfortunately no one ever did. Because of the lack of response, the date of my sister's birthday passed and I was unable to get the customized cake I had planned for her. It was really disappointing, especially since I was genuinely excited to work with this business. I understand that businesses get busy, but clear communication is important -- especially for time-sensitive custom orders. Sadly, due to this experience, I wouldn't feel comfortable relying on them for future events. read more

I ordered the strawberry tres leche, lemon lemon and carrot cupcakes. There was sooo much whip cream on top of each cupcake. They were also sooo dry & tasted stale. My husband even commented that his icing was hard & tasted like it had been sitting for some days. I went in with my mother in law, sister in law & myself and we were asked numerous times if that was all. The worker was rushing us. PLUS, I spent $30 on all of the items I purchased. You would think that their menu says: 1cupcake: $5.25 2cupcakes: $10.50. THAT IS NOT A DISCOUNT. that's math !! I would not recommend this place at all. My question is, how long are these cupcakes sitting there for ? read more

Everything looks delicious, the Symphony was recommended there was slight coffee and carmel taste. For me I really didn't care for the frosting not quite sure what it is (flavorless).

Visited Isabella's because my father n law lives in Victoria and I saw so many Instagram post on this place. I can appreciate a small business that works hard. The German chocolate was not my favorite but my kids loved their cupcakes. Prices are kinda high for one cupcake. Just wished the German chocolate didn't have like that whipped buttercream frosting definitely a turn off..... I think the best German chocolate cake has to Sweet Red Peach in Inglewood. My husband got a vanilla crumb and said the cake was kinda dry. My kids enjoyed their cupcakes so I guess that's all that matters! read more

I'm a baker myself , and to say i that I drove 2 hours for a $5 cupcake that was dry and unoriginal Is baffling to me. Nothing makes these cupcakes tres leches . I got the banana pudding tres leches cupcake it was filled with banana pudding , in what way does that make it tres leches ? All I tasted was complete artificial flavors . Do not listen to the hype . It's not worth it one bit . "Tres leches" is Spanish for "three milks." It refers to a type of dessert--most commonly a cake--that is soaked in three kinds of milk: 1. Evaporated milk 2. Sweetened condensed milk 3. Heavy cream (or sometimes whole milk or half-and-half) A tres leches cake is typically a light sponge cake that absorbs the milk mixture, making it very moist and rich, but not soggy. This was not that ! read more

Decided to try this place because of hungryformunchies and for my love of carrot cake, honestly it was a disappointment. I keep eating it trying to see if the next bite would get better but it just keeps getting worst, it doesn't take like carrot cake, it's extremely dry to the point the cake just kept crumbling apart. The frosting had a consistency of whip cream and it had no taste. read more

I remember trying this place a few years ago and never really thought about it again. I recently went inside since they relocated within the with you why e same shopping center. I walked in to take a look at the cupcakes first and then went back after eating lunch. I grabbed a carrot cake cupcake and was deeply disappointed for a couple of reasons. First, when I opened the cupcake box a cupcake looked so much smaller than what was on display. Then when I bit into the cupcake I was surprised that a majority of the cupcake (probably half of the height) was a majority whipped cream icing. The only cream cheese I got from this carrot cake cupcake was maybe a squirt that was in the middle. The cake itself was pretty good but overall the cupcake was disappointing and didn't leave a lasting impression. read more
