    Hot chocolate cupcakes (Friday)
    Rita W.

    Wow, can't believe I haven't reviewed La Luna Cupcakes before! I've been going here since I started my job in FiDi back in 2018, and am so glad that they are still around. They specialize in their tres leches cupcakes - both regular / vanilla and chocolate variations. They also have "popular" flavors such as plain vanilla, chocolate, birthday cake/funfetti, and so much more. I love checking out their seasonal or special flavors and would get those for my team so we can try different cupcake flavors. Usually our faves are the tres leche ones as they are not too sweet. They are really good most of the time and has a nice level or moisture as well. We can eat multiple in one sitting as the light cream frosting layer doesn't feel as heavy and sugar concentrated as traditional frosting. Only downside is sometimes the tres leche ones may be a bit dry and other times a bit overly moist to a level where the liquid just drips, but it's most super delicious. Cute interior and friendly staff/owners. They also sell decor for cupcakes and candles as well.

    La Luna Cupcakes is located on the first floor of the Crocker Galleria. Upon entrance, there are a few seats inside, a display case full of cupcakes, and decorations. It looks pretty welcoming despite the desolate location. Each cupcake is $4.50 and $4.75 for a gluten free cupcake. We got Passion Fruit, Duo Chocolate & Vanilla, Red Velvet, Cookies & Cream, Neapolitan, and Happy Birthday cupcake. The taste and texture of the cupcakes were average. Nothing stood out as the best cupcake, but the presentation of the cupcakes were nice.

    Went to this cute little place in downtown San Francisco after having a large meal. Offerings were very interesting and tempting but had no way to eat more. So got just once chocolate tres leches cupcake and it was soooo good. Service was quick too. Will definitely visit again to try the different flavors of cup cakes.

    I stumbled upon this place in search of some gluten free options for my coworker's birthday. I ordered a half dozen cupcakes and the cashier was super sweet and let me swap out one flavor because I wanted to try the ube cupcake after I saw it on display. The shop looks super cute and the decorations are adorable. They don't just sell cupcakes they sell cake pops too! The cupcake was super soft and moist and the frosting was delicious and not too sweet. We definitely have to come back to try the other flavors.

    The cupcakes are amazing. Each cupcake has a filling that goes very well with the flavor. The cupcakes are not to sweet. Tres leches was my favorite along with passion fruit. Each cupcake was fresh and moist. The service was ok. He was friendly and helpful even though he charged my friend and I for two bags each when we only received one. The ambiance was very quiet and beautiful.

    Tres Leches cupcake

    Went for the Tres Leches because of the good reviews on yelp Walked 25 minutes here and the cupcakes were SUPER DRY !! Especially for a Tres Leches , Almost like a plain Vanilla cake with a whipped cream topping Service was definitely great. Cashier immediately said let me go and find out when I mentioned the problem He came back with a replacement and said maybe they had forgotten to inject that specific cupcake with the different milks The replacement was much better , excellent service Nice ambiance and super clean place

    I treat myself to a weekly treat (usually on Wednesdays for a mid-week pick up), and I tend to opt for another dessert place but I wanted to try something else. These cupcakes remind me of the homemade cupcakes you make at home - they get the job done, it's nostalgic and it's cute. First, let's start with the "mall". It is dead, unfortunately because I am sure this place was once upon a time busy, because it is a great location. The packaging is simple yet perfect. I like that it actually holds the cupcakes in place because then the transportation is easier as well. I really liked the tres leches cupcake and if I need a pick me up, I'm happy to know this place is here.

    Inside of california st location

    Came here to pick-up some cupcakes for a work event and it was so quick and convenient on the way. It's also located right near the Embarcadero BART station and on the California St cable car line--it seems like they used to be (or have another location) nearby in the FiDi north of Market. They're known for their Tres Leches cupcake, but have so many fun, unique, creative flavors, as well as some seasonal ones sometimes! I ordered 4 cupcakes: pumpkin, Ube/taro, tres leches, and cookies and Asteroid Cookies & Cream Cupcake. They were a hit! The interior is bright and airy with lots of windows. There is some seating inside with tables and bar seating at the windows--perfect for people-watching as many people walk by! Service was kind, friendly, fun, helpful, and knowledgeable, recommending what's popular and what they liked. Will be back for more!

    We came here in early June and ordered 6 cupcakes. We were not impressed with the cupcakes, which we found to be sort of dry and bland. The cupcakes did not taste like the flavors advertised, and so we were just a bit disappointed with the cupcakes in general.

    love all the creative flavors and combination!! neeed to go back and try more. cupcake I had was not too sweet (which was great as a personal preference) and nice little pick me up

    Confetti vanilla cupcake
    Sydney J.

    One of my friends ordered a bunch of cupcakes and cake pops from La Luna to celebrate a friend's birthday. We had an assortment of flavors, including tres leches, chocolate tres leches, mocha bailey, vanilla, red velvet, and confetti/funfetti. I ended up having one of the tres leches cupcakes. I liked it a lot, the main body of the cupcake definitely did taste like tres leches, and the frosting was creamy and rich. Great for dairy lovers. The cake pops were also decent. I do wish it was a little more apparent which flavor was which and that they were labeled (just in case there was any variation in the flavors/ingredients and if anyone has allergies/dietary restrictions) since they came with an assortment of different designs, some of which had the small circular sprinkles coating the outside. If you have a sweet tooth and prefer a smaller portion size than a cake slice, the cake pops are a fun option. If you're carrying the cake pops around, be careful that they don't get banged up since the outside shell does get a bit crushed if it hits something.

    These were quite possibly the best cupcakes I've ever had! Amazing flavor, moist texture and not overly sweet. 100/10

    Asteroid Cookies & Cream Cupcake
    Boyee C.

    THE CUPCAKE HERE IS SOOOOO GOOD. It has the perfect amount of sweetness. The cream reminds me of a cheesecake/cream cheese flavor. I came later on in the day so there was not a lot of cupcakes left. However they do have vegan cupcakes here too.

    So many flavors. Funfetti, vanilla, duo swirl, peanut butter, cookies & cream, chocolate, passion fruit

    Can you walk in an order/buy a cupcake or is it online/advance order only?

    Walk in purchases are possible. Certain flavors sell out, so I suggest placing an order if one wants a particular flavor.

We went late in the day which I assume affected the texture of the cake (They were a little dry). We got chocolate salted caramel which had great flavor. We especially liked the frosting which was fluffy and not too sweet, red velvet which had an artificial taste, banana which tasted too fake, and lemon which had a delicious custard or pudding filling. All in all, we enjoyed the cupcakes but next time we will try to get there earlier when they're fresher.

I was wearing a Star of David necklace. The employee on duty initially interacted normally and offered a small promotional incentive with a purchase. During our conversation about flavors, the employee asked me, "What side are you on?" When I asked for clarification, she proceeded to ask whether I was a "Zionist" and "Orthodox." I responded politely and honestly that I am both. Immediately after this response, the employee withdrew the previously offered promotion and stated that I would need to pay full price. The questioning and subsequent change in treatment appeared to be based solely on my religious identity and perceived political beliefs. The way the term "Zionist" was used was hostile, and the interaction became uncomfortable and inappropriate. I remained polite throughout. My friend suggested that we leave due to the employee's behavior, and we did so. As we exited, we stated that it did not seem like this was a business that wanted our patronage. The employee responded that she was not the owner and "just worked there." Regardless of her role, no customer should be questioned about their religion or identity or treated differently because of it. I am sharing this experience so that others are aware and in the hope that the business addresses this conduct and ensures that all customers are treated with respect.
