| - Review based on Sprinkles' invite-only Sneak Peek event on Wednesday, March 19th!
I received an e-mail from Sprinkles last week inviting me and a guest for a taste prior to their grand opening. The tasting involved complimentary cupcakes (2) and ice cream. Very exciting! We arrived approximately 15-20 minutes before the event (2PM-4PM) and there was already quite the line. We were checked off a list and given cupcake and ice cream menus. The event was pretty organized as they allowed a certain amount of people in at one time as to not overcrowd the intimate shop.
The boutique is adorable! Bright colors, their script logo, Sprinkles dots, and treats galore. On the left side of their space is the counter to order cupcakes and beverages. The cupcakes are displayed to your right, flavors labeled with wooden blocks. There were also doggie cupcakes ($2.50) and their "store" where you can purchase shirts ($25-40), onesies ($25), cupcake mixes ($14), and a crazy adorable miniature toy replica of a Sprinkles boutique ($16)! On the other side of their boutique is the ice cream counter. There are also two entrances. On the exterior wall, facing O'Sheas, is the very cool Cupcake ATM that is open 24 hours!
My guest, Christina, and I bought opted for the Salty Caramel ice cream (one scoop, $3.75) in a Red Velvet waffle cone ($1). I really wanted to try the Coffee Fudge Almond, but they didn't have any! The Salty Caramel was really sweet and much too salty; it was difficult to eat. The Red Velvet cone was delicious! Soft, crunchy, and great flavor. It's a must with your ice cream!
We shared four cupcakes ($3.75/each): Chocolate Coconut (Belgian dark chocolate with coconut cream cheese frosting), Ginger Lemon (Spiced ginger cake with lemon cream cheese frosting), Red Velvet, and Strawberry. By the way, I love the wooden utensils with "Sprinkles" etched in their handles! We took these home to enjoy since there are only 4-5 seats and a small table facing outside. The cupcakes were all very moist, but didn't have spectacular flavor. Strawberry was our favorite with the best cake flavor and frosting. Yummy and not overly sweet. I didn't care for the chocolate, ginger, or red velvet cakes. The ginger flavor was just okay and it was difficult to detect lemon in the frosting. The chocolate and red velvet didn't taste like much. I did like the coconut frosting very much. I've had prior experience with Sprinkles cupcakes and they're not my favorite, however, there are certain flavors that I really enjoy. The Strawberry was wonderful and I loved the German Chocolate offered last Fall.
FYI: Sprinkles is located next to Brooklyn Bowl, near the High Roller. They're open Sunday thru Wednesday 10AM-12AM and Thursday thru Saturday 10AM-1AM. There is a schedule for their cupcake and ice cream flavors, so if you're looking for something in particular, view their website before your visit!
