Great place for some fresh cupcakes. They do have great variety of flavors to choose from, and you can customize your box or pre order a fixed mixed flavor box. Overall a good place for quick bites.
Newport Beach isn't really a location I think of when it comes to, "Oh, I want some decent cupcakes today." I hadn't heard of Sprinkles prior to this, and since I was in the area, I decided to give them a try- I'm very glad I did.
Corona Del Mar isn't a great area to drive around in, but this place is pretty easy to find and locate. Once inside, the staff were very helpful, especially after letting them know that it was my first time there, which definitely helped with some of the more nuanced flavors they had. I ended up selecting Red Velvet, Lemon Blueberry, Triple Cinnamon, and Banana. The last one surprised me quite a bit. Banana-flavored anything typically isn't that great, but this blew me away.
They've opened up a few locations since I've been here, but the Newport Beach location is absolutely worth trying out if you're a local or visiting in the area. None of their cupcakes are too sweet or bland; they're quite moist and decadent, and if you HAVE to - they do keep well if you vacuum seal them for a day.
We ordered ahead of time and got the animal cookie and s’more cupcakes. We also got the three pack of the mini cupcakes. The animal cookie cupcake is so yummy it tastes like the frosted animal cookie it has a pink crust that has a touch of salt the cake part is like a funfetti and the frosting with the sprinkles so velvety with a little crunch with a cookie on top. Super cute and delicious. The s’more cupcake has a graham cracker crust on the bottom then the chocolate cake with a rich velvety chocolate ganache that is so tasty and topped with a marshmallow frosting that is brûléed. The mini cupcakes are super cute and tasty. The gentleman that brought the order out was very friendly and professional he said we picked the most delicious items. We also got the oatmeal corn flake cookie which was really good with the perfect balance of sweet and salty. Ten out of ten totally recommend the cupcakes at this location.
Who doesn't like a good cupcake? These are never a let down, in my opinion. There's a great selection of different flavours and varieties and you can't go wrong with whichever one you choose.
The staff here are fairly friendly, but the one drawback is how small the store itself is. Sometimes it's just way too crowded inside.
With that said, Sprinkles are great and I crave them often and highly recommend this fresh, tasty chain.
I tried the
Vegan Red Velvet - the absolute best
Regular Red Velvet - good
Chocolate Banana - perfectly sweet and light
Peanut Butter Chocolate - very rich
And they were all great!
But the Vegan Red Velvet was by far my favorite because you can taste the light coconut flavor in the frosting. Which was also smooth and not overpowering.
