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.

Chocolate Tres Leches cupcake

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.

Ube cupcake

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.

La Luna Tres Leches Cupcake x Happy Birthday Cupcake
Janine C.

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.

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

Inside of california st location
Lizzie S.

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.

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.

To wit: at this establishment, one can, as I did today, saunter in around 4:20 and upon examining the nearly empty case saying: "well this reminds me of that old song" and then breaking into song for the two staff and one other patron present " I guess if you show up at 4 pm at the baaaaakery, there will likely be no more savory scoooones" Instead of eyerolls or like "huh"? I get huge smiles from all three humans present. Then, in a miracle, one women behind the counter says "OMG there actually IS one finally cheddar scone it just at the back of the tray so you can't see it ...here it's yours" and of course I paid, but we all had a laugh and it reminded me how nice it was to live a block away from this amazing bakery. Good Show!

Came by recently after our visit to the vet nearby. Tempted by all the great reviews, I decided to…read moretry their savory cheddar and chives scone and wow, it was buttery and delicious. I also tried their red velvet mini cupcake and it was so cute and yummy. Side note: They don't allow dogs inside, so just beware when you are with your fur child. Luckily for me, a lovely human happened by and offered to watch my fur child outside so I can go in to buy the two items as I don't trust leaving my baby alone outside. I offered to buy her something from the bakery, but she politely declined. So thankful for this kindness and I would totally do this for others next time. Located on 24th St. and Castro.

I've been wanting to try Miette for awhile now. I finally got it off my bucket list after reading a…read morerecommendation from a thread from fellow yelpers. I went to the Octavia location. It was later of the day cause when I arrived only 2 cupcakes were left, BooHoo. SO I got the remaining chocolate cupcakes with strawberry butter cream. I was w/my daughter and we were getting candy bags as well. Got home tried the cupcakes. It was really good! The chocolate cake is soo moist. I love butter cream frosting but never had strawberry buttercream so I was skeptical! But yes it was really good as well!! The combination of both really satisfied my sweet tooth. I totally recommend and I also would love to visit the other location, ferry building. More cupcakes to feast! (I love the pink bag)

Wow I am impressed with their macaroons and the old fashion cupcake…read more The macaroons are different from others that I tried. They are made with coarsely ground almonds with the skins intact. They do not add any food coloring or processed flavorings, so they are distinctly rustic and natural. It is not sticky, gooey or has too much sugar stuck on them. I like the hazelnut flavor. The cupcakes are decorated nicely. Their Italian Meringue Cupcake is a rich Double-Chocolate cake with a light and fluffy marshmallow-like texture makes me think of a hostess cupcake. I had two yellow cream cheese frosting gingerbread cupcakes, raspberry chocolate and strawberry vanilla cupcake. I am happy with the selection I received which is a great way to try and determine if this bakery knows how to make a good cupcake. I enjoyed their carrot cake cupcake. All cupcakes were nice and moist, the frosting is always the key to a good cupcake. Thank you and I hope to stop by again and try a cake.
