    Cupcake Matcha Yuzu (3/20 to 4/2)
    Jiansen W.

    Sprinkles' Vietnamese Coffee cake is on their permanent menu! The Vietnamese coffee cake is filled with a gooey, super-sweet, condensed milk buttercream, finished with a top-heavy, super-sweet, coffee frosting, and topped with a crisp, bitter, espresso chip. I love Sprinkles' incorporation of novel concepts, and the quality of their ingredients. I'd only ask for options to be baked less sweet.

    Pupcake

    I loved the cupcakes here! My favorite was the Vietnamese coffee, which was so unique and delicious. The vanilla and strawberry were also very good. I've been wanting to try this place ever since my Food Network days as a kid and it did not disappoint. The service was super friendly and they even talked us into getting a pupcake for our pooch, which she loved. I was a little sad they didn't have the sprinkle one, so I'll definitely have to come back. The shopping center gets pretty busy during lunch, so I'd recommend coming for dinner instead.

    Raspberry Chocolate Chip Sprinkle
    Liza L.

    Ordered 2 cupcakes (raspberry choco chip and birthday sprinkle) and chocolate chip cookies for Valentine's Day weekend! Sprinkles cupcakes always decorated so cute. Too much frosting for me though and the cake is standard. I prefer moist cupcakes and less frosting. Love how they are packaged. The chocolate chip cookies are gluten free. They were mid. Thank you Sprinkles!

    Love picking up cupcakes here! The staff is always so friendly and the cupcakes are always so delicious! They are also so fast at preparing your order it's great. This location has a huge parking lot and always has a good variety of flavors in stock! You can always place an order and shop nearby or grab a bite while you wait for your order to be ready.

    Cupcakes aplenty

    Always enjoy coming in. Love the peanut butter choc chip. Have to make special trip to come up and try the new flavors

    Partial view of the suite front

    I used to enjoy indulging occasionally at a gourmet dessert spot like Sprinkles. This suite in The Shops at La Jolla Village is the only remaining brick-and-mortar location in the county. Interestingly, the business operates two cupcake ATMs at Westfield shopping malls, one at UTC and the other at Plaza Bonita. I wonder how well the products sell from a vending machine in which the goods may sit untouched for a while versus this store in which the inventory turns over more frequently. Inflation has been really noticeable for luxury products such as custom baked goods. For example, a single cupcake here now costs $5.10. There is no volume discount offered either as an order of a dozen cupcakes will set you back over $60. Such a price is insane because you can buy a very nice whole cake elsewhere for a fraction of the cost. The cookies sold for $4.50 apiece which was not cheap either. Everything by the dozen in a box was over $50. I wasn't interested in such a quantity so that limited my choices to either a single treat or a mini cupcake sampler. Sixteen different cupcakes were available, however two flavors (Salty Caramel, Gluten-Free Red Velvet) were sold out during my visit. Five types of cookies were also on the menu screen with one flavor (Salty Oatmeal Cornflake) sold out. For the month of March, the sampler included one Strawberry, one Dark Chocolate, and one Vanilla mini cupcake. It was priced at $7 which was reasonable compared to the rest of the products. I noshed on the Strawberry after I arrived home and saved the other two for later. Don't get me wrong, the cupcake was moist and good. It's humorous reading Elite reviews from over 10 years ago complaining about paying $3.50 for one cupcake. Welcome to 2024 as the price has increased by close to 50 percent. That was the main factor why I gave a three star rating for Sprinkles La Jolla.

    Black & White

    I tried their cupcake (from a different location) years ago and it wasn't so utterly out of this world that I would wait in line forever just to get one, so I never really went back. But a friend brought some to share and I tried the Black & White one and it was gooooood. The icing is dense and the cake itself is moist and soft. The contrast between the chocolate and the topping went together perfectly. I took a moment to hmmmm out loud because it was so good.

    S'more special cupcake
    Alexander Z.

    My favorite dessert place. Their rotating selection of special cupcakes is unique and very tasty. They have a selection of vegan cupcakes that can easily stand on their own, so I don't have to get out my lactaid. If you want to order a special cupcake, make sure to do so early in the day as it's essentially guaranteed they'll run out of everything but their basic sellers by 2 hours before they close! The store is nice but small, don't eat on location, nowhere to sit. The service is very fast, just order at the iPad kiosk and 1-2 minutes later someone will come with your order. The only thing I don't love is the price but I have to allow that most desserts these days are rising in price in similar proportion...

    Sprinkles was great. Love the service. Katelynn was great. Love the new flavors especially cookies and creme and peanut butter cup.

I love that they have so many flavors to choose from--you can go all the way fruity with mango, strawberry or even avocado, or choose one with coffee, matcha, or even banana nutella!

What we tried: Jasmine Coconut - 3.5/5 Sunset Mango Coconut - 4/5 Banana Nutella Coconut - 4/5 Triple Latte - 5/5 My favorite out of the ones we had was definitely the Triple Latte. The coffee jelly added a bit of different texture to the dessert and the coffee flavor wasn't too strong, which surprisingly I preferred for this. I couldn't help but finish the whole thing on my own, and super quick at that too! Another one I was really excited to try was the Jasmine Coconut, which comes in a smaller jar, but it turned out to be a little underwhelming for me. You can barely taste the jasmine tea jelly. Don't get me wrong, it was still good--I just hoped you could taste the jasmine more. The shop was charming with a few tables and chairs, but it was a little hot inside. There was also just one person at the counter, but she was quick, friendly and very helpful--I don't think the speed of service suffered at all.
