Being from California, I've passed by Sprinkles many times. Unfortunately, I never tried Sprinkles until I came to Arizona lol. Better late than never, I always say!
There is tons of debate in the 'Cupcake Lovers World' (a.k.a. the internet, b.k.a. Yelp) on whether Sprinkles is God's gift to the world or just another cupcake shop... whether paying $3.25 for a cupcake is worth it or insanity... Well, after trying it- I'm here to set the record straight.
Plain and simple- there is no denying that Sprinkles cupcakes are delicious. There is definitely a noticeable difference in the flavors used for their cupcakes. The vanilla milk chocolate cupcake I had was incredibly rich and flavorful. The peanut butter chip cupcake tasted amazing. The strawberry tasted so fresh and sweet. And seriously, who doesn't love Red Velvet? Straight up, Sprinkles cupcakes are a cut above the rest.
BUT, with that being said- $3.25 is still an insane price for a cupcake lol. I was hesitant to pay so much per cupcake- but after eating them i can understand it. They are gourmet cupcakes and you get what you pay for.
This particular Sprinkles had a friendly staff- and although there was a long line my transaction was taken care of fast. I don't think I'd go to Sprinkles often to spend $3.25 a pop on a cupcake- but you should definitely try it and taste the difference!
