We had a really great cupcake shop where we used to live. I had heard rave reviews of Sprinkles so I was excited. The price was high but close to what I'd expected. This isn't a low rent district after all and these are a specialty item. What disappointed me was the taste. We bought a big box with assorted flavors for a dinner party. Not one adult there liked them and none of the children even finish a half of one. My daughter said she likes the ""grocery store kind better."" Good for me. I can buy 6 of those for what 1 costs at Sprinkles. I do not consider her as having an expert palate; however, as I said the adults didn't like them either. Many of us ladies cut them up in quarters and shared so as to try different flavors and there wasn't one that was good. I have heard the red velvet is to die for and they were out of those but the rest they could keep. I was so happy to have another cupcake shop nearby but I won't go back. What's worse is the place is like the Seinfeld episode with the soup ""place"" (Citysearch won't let me use the word that really belongs there). It's almost laughable. Best part of the experience for my husband was seeing Charlize Theron in the parking lot behind Sprinkles.
Pros: Celebrity Sightings Possible
Cons: Bad Cupcakes (so why go?)
