Sprinkles Chicago

Stopped by this dessert shop during a trip to Chicago. The staff member who assisted us during our visit was very friendly and helpful. They had a very nice selection of cupcakes, cookies, brownies, and even dog treats. We ordered a few of the different cookies. The favorite of the ones we ordered was the salted oatmeal cornflake cookie. The flavors of the cookie blended surprisingly well. The reason I deducted a star was because I expected a "fresher" cookie, if that makes sense. The cookie was a little more firm than what I am used to but it was still good. Outside of that one thing, I would say it was a good stop and I would go again if I were in the area.

Even for someone not typically drawn to cupcakes like me, Sprinkles is worth a try! The diverse selection and exquisite flavors might just convert you into a cupcake enthusiast. The welcoming atmosphere and top-notch service make it an enjoyable experience for everyone, regardless of their usual dessert preferences.

We recently tried their Triple Cinnamon from Sprinkles on E Walton and were very impressed. The cupcake was soft, cake texture, just the right amount of icing and tasted so good. Usually fans of cupcakes but this one was just great. We'd gladly return to pick up more cupcakes from Sprinkles in Chicago based on this experience and will now keep a look out for their sister branches around the country during future trips to the States.

I going to get right to the point… Sprinkles, located in Downtown Chicago, has THEE best vegan red velvet cupcakes in the city of Chicago. I let one of my friends try one whom isn’t vegan and they could not believe it was vegan. In fact, he said it tasted better then a regular red velvet cake. My only complaint would be the lack of vegan options. I love the red velvet cupcake but there should be more options.

Best cupcakes ever, they are consistently great, amazing flavor and quality. I don’t think there’s anything that competes with them. This store is small but fast, staff is always very helpful and friendly. You order by the kiosk and they pack and hand your order. Payment is by CARD ONLY, not my favorite thing but it is what it is. The vending cupcake machine is awesome but I prefer to buy in store (I believe it’s also cheaper in store but I’m 100% sure👍🏼)

First time here. We came on a Wednesday afternoon, at the end of July and it wasn’t busy at all. We ordered on the tablet and got our cupcakes in about 5 minutes. There was only one worker working that we saw. There also wasn’t a lot of seating inside the restaurant, but there is a bench outside.

Delicious cupcakes! I love that they’re the perfect amount of sweetness. The frosting isn’t gross, or overly sweet. Love stopping here when we come to Chicago. ❤️ my husband loved the lemon blueberry! 🫐

I’ve been here twice. The first time I went I don’t remember what cupcake I had but I remember enjoying it. Recently, I went and had the vegan red velvet cupcake. The frosting was really good but the cake part tasted floury. I would recommend coming here because the first time I went and had a regular non-vegan cupcake I really enjoyed it.

It's changed a lot post Covid but still a good spot to grab cupcakes in the city. The ATM outside is also convenient to grab a cupcake if you don't want to go inside. Kiosk ordering inside and your order is ready within 5-10 minutes. Interior is modern. Staff is friendly and ready to help you.

I've been on a quest recently to find the best cupcake in Chicago, and of course had to pay a visit to Sprinkles. It's conveniently located right in the heart of the shopping district and makes for a nice sweet treat pit-stop. The shop is small, quiet, and down to business- although there is a small standing counter to eat, this is designed to be an efficient to-go storefront. There were so many flavors to choose from, and all were presented immaculately. I appreciated that they offer mini cupcake flights for those of us who can't pick just one flavor, and opted for the July monthly special. The flight included banana, strawberry, and red velvet cupcakes. I was so impressed by their texture! The cake was incredibly moist and clearly freshly baked. The frostings had substance, yet were super smooth and melted in the mouth. It's the old-fashioned kind of icing that my grandmother used to make. Although all were good, my only qualm is that they were extremely sweet, to the point where the sugar covered the actual flavor. For this reason, I felt the cupcakes tasted too similar to one another, particularly with the fruity flavors. However, the red velvet was absolutely delicious- I would highly recommend ordering this! I will likely stop by again if convenient, but there are a lot of other great cupcake shops in the vicinity. Still recommend giving this store a try!

This is a fun experience for those who don't know what it is. The cupcake ATM is still around after becoming popular many years ago. They have the ATM right outside but also have the store front with all the options as well as mini ones. The staff is really kind, and the service is quick! The strawberry and lemon cupcakes were delicious!

They were restocking the cupcake atm when I came so I had to go inside and order. I got the strawberry cupcake and it was so delicious! The cake is super soft and moist. The frosting was not overly sweet. 10/10 would recommend. The cupcakes are a little pricey but it's a yummy treat to get every now and then.

I love sprinkles! They revolutionized the cupcake world with their cupcake ATM. Their cupcakes are delicious, moist and of really high quality. The dark chocolate cupcakes are my favorite. Their iconic sprinkles cupcake is too cute to look at. I love their seasonal play on different cupcake flavors. The service is fast and the staff is friendly. The ambience is very cute. I have followed the owner Candace closely on a lot of TV shows and hence, this brand is close to my heart. Be it the ATM or the store, do try these!

If you're into cupcakes, Sprinkles is the spot to hit up. Their red velvet ones are my favorite, but I've tried pretty much all of their flavors--they're all good! Sometimes the frosting can be a bit much, so it's best to eat them the same day you get them, but they'll still be good for a couple of days. I usually just walk in, but you can order ahead too. And the best part? They've got cupcake ATMs, so you can grab a sweet treat anytime. Recently, we forgot to order a cake for a friend's birthday, so we got a bunch of cupcakes instead, and it worked out great. Overall, Sprinkles is a decent spot for cupcakes

Tried the famous Sprinkles with some skepticism as I was afraid the items would be too sweet for me, it was the only dessert spot near where I had to be. No seating, order via two kiosks. Pretty quick service and seemed popular with those shopping in the area. There is an outdoor cupcake ATM but it didn't seem to be working at the time. I was careful to choose some less sweet items - I got the cornflake oatmeal cookie, sugar free red velvet, and chocolate marshmallow. The cookie was good - I enjoyed the contrast between the crispy cornflakes and soft oatmeal - just wish it was a bit softer. Not too sweet! The red velvet came with cream cheese frosting. Slightly too sweet but moist and soft. Chocolate marshmallow had a ganache instead of frosting so it tasted less sweet which was nice. Wish there was more marshmallow inside! Overall not bad, its quite expensive for 1 cupcake but you can't help a sweet tooth craving!

Whenever I visit Chicago, Sprinkles is a must! The red velvet cupcake is my favorite and the service is always quick. I've also used the ATM, which is an easy option if you want to grab and go. Always looking forward to my next visit!

Who doesn't love a cupcake? It's in the name... it's a "cup of cake!" Sprinkles Chicago makes great cupcakes! I don't have a big "sweet tooth," but, when I do... it's uncontrollable! That's why I love Sprinkles. They have a Cupcake ATM, too! Yep! A cupcake ATM making Sprinkles open 24 hours to satisfy your sweet tooth! Their cupcakes are delicious! They have an adorable store front loaded with cupcakes of all types... Seasonal flavors, gluten-free, sugar-free, & "pup cakes" for your fur baby! Take advantage of their points program for discounts & free cupcakes! The friendly staff will also guide you through dietary needs like gluten free or sugar free options. There are mini-cupcakes as well as regular sized cupcakes! The novelty of the Cupcake ATM will never wear on me! I love it! Located in the Gold Coast, it's convenient to River North, Old Town, Downtown or anywhere actually having the Cupcake ATM! You'll need to get there early on the weekends for the ATM. They do have a tendency to sell out! I recommend all the flavors... carrot cake & salted caramel are favs of mine as well as the red velvet. Order ahead for "to go" or they'll deliver for you, too I highly recommend! "Chef's Kiss "

We were shopping on Oak street when in Chicago, we looked up and we saw the Sprinkles shop and decided to stop in. Too cute and talk about a sugar rush! It is so easy to get carried away with ordering here as the Kiosk makes everything easier to order. The wait was not long and shortly we had our 6 cupcakes, there is not a lot of room to comfortably dine in and so we decided to take them on a picnic to Lincoln Park. They were so yummy and we made sure to get an assortment of everything. My favorite was the red velvet. I would def make a trip to sprinkles the next time in Chicago!

Who doesn't love cupcakes? And when you want your cupcakes PRONTO, Sprinkles has that figured out. They have a cupcake ATM like machine outside the store, so you don't even have to come in to satisfy that sweet tooth. Easy and done! Sprinkles is at the top of my list for cupcakes because they are so moist and airy and fresh. I love how good their strawberry frosting is on their strawberry cupcakes. You can taste the realness of the strawberries in it and not just sugar and food coloring. Inside the store, if you don't wanna freeze your butt off ordering those cupcakes outside during winter, they have a kiosk where you can just place your order. For someone tech savvy as myself, this is great. I'm just worried for people like my mom and dad who are not that tech savvy, they will need to place their order with an actual person and not sure if you can do that at this location. But I didn't really ask so.... But anywho, writing this review is making me crave one now!

Don't be on uber eats if you keep declining the order. Why be on it then? Get your shit together

5 stars... why not?! I've been here multiple times and each time have tried one of the specialty cupcakes. This time it was the Easter one. I didn't think I would like it as I am not a fan of white buttercream frosting (prefer chocolate). But what the heck. Hoy was I surprised! Not only the combination of sprinkles and frosting was perfect, I was joyfully surprised by the fun-fetti cake! Now one orders from the kiosk inside the store. Seeing that this place is quite small, I can see a long line being a regular issue. My cupcake was quickly made available to me after ordering and paying. There is also a cupcake vending machine outside but I've not tried.

Stopped at sprinkles after going to water tower place. My friend has a sweet tooth and couldn't wait to grab some cupcakes to go. This location is contact list ordering . They also have a cupcake ATM machine outside. For my order I got my husband the red velvet cupcake and I got the lemon blueberry cupcake. Each cupcake costs about $5 each. As always sprinkles delivers. I could do less of the frosting.

So I went back. I get 4 to really give it a good shot. I also made sure to try their classics and nothing crazy. I was... still unimpressed. I got red velvet, dark chocolate, 3x cinnamon, and salty caramel. Okay so the double chocolate is excellent. The chocolate shavings are perfect on the cupcake and everything is just standout. The red velvet is mid. It's not bad by any standard. It's just... fine. The salty caramel has a nice flavor to it and could get addicting after a while The triple cinnamon is... fine. The cake felt dry, the flavor was there though. The thing is that most (if not all depending on the week) of their cupcakes do not have a center filling. The frosting is there, but it's a missed opportunity to just give me cake throughout. Sprinkles is fine. The staff is great, the aesthetic is there, the cupcakes look great, but compared to what else the city has to offer it's just fine.

Best banana cupcake but can someone please tell me why I spent 6 dollars for it. They also made it so much smaller and more expensive

I'm sorry!!! This may be an unpopular opinion but I just don't get the hype. These cupcakes are so incredibly overpriced. I remember trying them a decade ago in LA and they weren't memorable after waiting in a long line. I figured there was no one inside, why not just walk in and give it another shot. As soon as I walked in, the gentleman behind the counter snapped "picking up?" With his phone in his hand. I told him and no and he immediately followed with "order on the kiosk". So snarky and abrupt. He proceeded to stay on his phone and answered my questions in an annoyed tone. I ordered my two overpriced cupcakes that were $6 and headed out. One of the cupcakes was a s'mores and after we cut it in half and tried picking it, it completely fell apart. It was pretty decent but you never got to get that perfect bite. 6/10 The other cupcake is dark chocolate. It's a good go-to. I just don't think their cupcakes are moist and I noticed they keep them out in the open uncovered. That might be why they're on the drier side but I don't know. Either way, I won't be stopping in again and wasting $12+.

Shopping here really annoyed me and rubbed me the wrong way. I used to come here pretty often when they first opened and like 2 years ago. I went back today and it was not the same and the prices are so much higher for no reason. Like literally no reason. They no longer give you the box that cupcakes used to come in for free without you asking. It now cost an additional 50 cents for the box and the cupcake is already expensive at 5.10 before tax and they increased in price, but again literally for no reason. Other thing is now the kiosk takes your order for you. The kiosk is just putting people out of work only so they can raise their prices and be paid more money and take away the things(the box) you used to get for free. They raised the price only to charge you more for what used to be free. The kiosk also has the nerve to ask if you want to tip. People don't take your order anymore, a kiosk does.. you don't get a box anymore! Why in the world would i want to tip when nobody even helped me except doing the most basic thing you can do at the store, packing the product In a bag. But also, why are they asking for a tip for take out in the first place? Thats weird! No human interaction but they want a tip. Like who am I even tipping at that point when the kiosk is doing all the work? I feel so disrespected, I won't be returning. I can't support greediness and the quality decrease. I will say the staff is nice!

Still my favorite cupcake spot! The cake is always super moist! This time we got the cookie and the carrot cake. The cookie was our favorite! It was sweet but not tooooo sweet and had cookie crumbles on top! Yum!

OMG....!! So yummy cupcake. Usually I dont like cupcake, but this was yummy, expensive though. Try the dark chocolate one. Didnt like the red velvet one.

Ordered a cake for my daughter bday it was a mail ordered big mistake it was as stale as stale could be hard

Purchased a six pack of different flavours to try and they were all so good. Worth the trip to enjoy a few snacks here. No place for dine in so expect to carry out your goodies. Top picks: Pineapple Upside Down and Lemon Bar.

I'm a sucker for sweets, so I definitely needed to stop by Sprinkles during my trip to Chicago. Loved the eye-catching storefront...so cute! So many delicious options, but I chose the Dark Chocolate cupcake. Wasn't too rich, and wasn't too filling - it was pretty perfect! Yes...it was a bit pricey, but I was on vacation...so I didn't care.

Meh...nothing impressive here. Initially we went inside but many flavors had already sold out. We were told to try the cupcake atm outside because it may have more flavors left. I think the atm was the best thing about the visit. It's pretty cool to make your selection and then get to see it coming your way via camera. At the end your cupcake is dispensed boxed and ready to go. As far as the actual cupcake, there's not much to say. I wasn't impressed with the presentation at all. It was pretty plain and the taste was average. My red velvet cupcake tasted ok but wasn't memorable at all. I didn't really care for the icing. It was heavy, thick and hard. It reminded me of fondant vs icing.

We came to Sprinkles for a quick snack. If you don't picking these up until later in the day then ordering online is a smart bet, otherwise if you're craving some cupcakes now, don't use their online ordering. Go right in and they'll take care of you. It was 11am and I tried ordering online, only for the website to say my order wouldn't be ready until 1pm. I went right in and got what I needed with no wait. What I didn't notice is pick up orders scattered through the building. This place is poppin'! The girl working this place was very welcoming and even made some suggestions while we were undecided. We ended up ordering coconut, sprinkles, chocolate marshmallow, and Cannoli. I really wanted their Oreo cupcake but they unfortunately didn't have any. The coconut, chocolate marshmallow and sprinkles were all good and very sweet but didn't care so much for them. The cannoli is where it's at. It came with ricotta cheese filling, and it was topped with crumbles cannoli shells and pieces of pistachio. A perfectly executed cupcake and wouldn't hesitate to order it again. The good thing about all these cupcakes was that they were extremely moist and had a perfect bite every time. Will definitely be back.

Sprinkles is the gold standard for cupcakes--it just never disappoints. So when the Year of the Rabbit cupcakes were released, I had to order them and was extremely pleased with the quality and taste of these cupcakes. They were supposed to be shared, but I ended up devouring them. I hope Sprinkles will create another cupcake for Lunar New Year in 2024!

The best thing about this place that they have cupcake ATM machine! Very cool ! We ordered salted Carmel and milk chocolate cupcakes ! When i tried the salted Carmel i told my self this is very good.. but once i tried the milk chocolate it was waaaaay awesome! The prices are good too. I am coming back for more!

While a bit pricy, the limited edition flavors at Sprinkles are totally worth checking out! I am a fan of really any strawberry flavor cupcake they have, but you really can't go wrong with the options here. Service is attentive and online ordering is very easy to use. What's more, when I have had issues in the past (which were seldom), customer service made right on the situation.

I recall them being much better quality a few years ago. The cupcakes we got were very dry. The worst part is when I used the cupcake atm the door started closing and smashed my hand and 3 days later very bruised hand. How this is safe I have no clue. It's like an elevator shutting and no sensor. Super pissed about my 20 dollars spent and a banged up hand and fry cupcakes.

Food is good. Service was great but there is no indoor seating to enjoy your food items.

The staff here is super sweet (pun intended), helpful and efficient. We were in and out of here in no time flat. We got the cupcakes home and noticed the size shrunk significantly and the the taste has changed drastically from the NYC stores. The cake itself didn't have much flavor and the the icing was a bit hard and overly sweet. I chose a strawberry cupcake and it tasted like plain vanilla. My fired said here flavors were similar. We were sad. Hopefully the recipes get back to the basics.

It's been a pretty tough day at the Childrens Hospital (we've been here for 4 months today) - as I was leaving I was handed a Sprinkles cupcake. It brought the first smile to my face all day. Thanks Sprinkles :-)

Staying away from sugar? I got you. So it's my wife and my 20th wedding anniversary! Can you believe it!? Me neither. She gets me Sprinkles. I try the dark chocolate. It's good. The we try another. Again. It's good. But these are just regular sugary cupcakes. Sugar is sugar to me. I don't love it. It's good. It's fine. It quickly overpowers me and I don't even feel like telling anyone about it But then... We try one of the Sugar Free red velvet ones. And holy $&@%%. These are good. The cake is perfectly not over sweet. The frosting is tasty. Tastier than the sugary ones I had earlier in the day. So 5 stars for the sugar free one. There should be even more sugar free kinds maybe. All I know is that I'm getting all sugar free next time. They are so good.

Tried to go here the other day to pick up some cupcakes for a birthday. It was mid-morning on a weekday and it was impossible to find parking so I went home and went online to have them delivered. I've never ordered online before but found the process to be super simple and quick. My favorite flavors are banana with white frosting and strawberry. I tried their seasonal pumpkin cupcake which was also pretty good. I've found they have continued to maintain a high quality no matter what location you go to in the US. Despite the name, I recommend not getting the ones with sprinkle toppings as they spill all over the place. The cupcakes are very rich but good for once in a while/special occasions since they are so pricey.

I buy cupcakes and it's always pack nicely in an individual box. I ordered 2 cupcakes and the workers put it in a bag, refuse to box it. The cupcake in the bag was unstable, ended up tilt over, grease the bag and leak to my other bag. I initially introduced the cupcakes to my friends but this totally ruined our experience. I was just wishing the packaging and handling steps treated nicely like how they put effort into their cupcakes.

I came in last week for my birthday cupcake and was disappointed. The cupcakes seem to be getting smaller and more expensive each time I go. Up until now, the cakes have been good quality, but this last time I ordered the s'mores cupcake and it was dry. I ate it with a fork at home and each time I poked into the cake it crumbled. There was very little marshmallow filling. The frosting was also not sweet and didn't taste much like chocolate. It was a 2-star cupcake but I'm giving it 3-stars in hope this was a one-time occurrence. Usually I like their cupcakes.

Can I just say that their cookie dough cupcake is by far the most amazing cupcake I've ever had? Lol. Their cupcakes are solid, but pricey and they get super busy so if you don't want to wait - use the atm!

After my review, Sprinkles dm'd me on Yelp. It took a while for something to happen but they said they were really sorry about my experience and made it up to me with a dozen complimentary cupcakes. Big thanks to Marissa at Sprinkles Chicago who called me, really friendly and totally turned my experience around. They really do care about customer satisfaction! :)

Sometimes you find yourself walking around Chicago and you walk past a cupcake place, what do you do? Well, you get a cupcake (and that's exactly what I did). I stopped by Sprinkles Cupcakes on Monday and indulged in one of there tasty cupcakes with sprinkles. The cupcake wasn't massive but size doesn't always make it better. This medium size cupcake was moist and absolutely scrumptious. The sprinkles on top added to the cupcake and made it just a little bit better. What's cool about this place is they have a "cupcake ATM" outside that allows you to order in a different and unique way as well as coming inside and ordering. Overall, this place is going to give you some good cupcakes. I enjoyed the cupcake and the friendly service, hopefully you did/will too!

Hello world! I am weak @ the knees for a really good cupcake and Sprinkles has that effect on me! You are immediately greeted once you walk in the door. If you are a frequent visitor, you have probably heard the annoyingly, catchy tune; "I love Sprinkles"... The cupcakes are always moist, flavorful and very pretty.

First, I have to admit the stand out dessert was actually the super fudgey brownie. It was the perfect consistency and was oh-so-sweet. I honestly thought the cupcakes were just alright. The frosting to cupcake ratio was good, but the cupcake itself was a little dry, and the cupcakes look more flavorful than they really are.

First time ever here and I must warn you all the are strictly limiting only 3 customers at a time. I had my 3 daughters with me so I ended up giving my older one my credit card while I waited outside. The girls loved all the choices and couldn't wait to eat it! Of course they had to try out the atm

I love these cupcakes so much!! They always taste natural and not artificial, made with butter that you can taste versus high fructose corn syrup or vegetable shortening. I purchased two dozen for Mother's Day and also a DYO kit for Mother's Day which is really cute and they have it for limited times during holidays.

Now don't get me wrong...I'm not typically a fan of cupcakes due to the overbearingly sweet frosting and mediocre cake...but Sprinkles is a different story. Complete with an automated "Cupcake ATM" outside the store, this iconic cupcake store boasts a variety of classic and seasonal cupcakes along with cupcakes for those with various dietary restrictions. Employees are always kind and remain calm despite constant movement into the store. The cupcakes are made with high quality ingredients and boast the perfect balance of frosting and cake. The simple and colorful aesthetic of the store only improves the experience and leaves you wondering when you'll be back next.

i got the vegan red velvet and banana and both were good but not worth the price. you could probably get a molly's cupcake for the same price but with a lot more filling/toppings. i like the fact that you can spell out messages on the cupcakes but otherwise, nothing extraordinary about these cupcakes. they're moist and flavorful like all cupcakes should be and people enjoy them but only thing i'm docking a star for is the $$$. also the atm is pretty cool.

I've tried a bunch of cupcakes now and it definitely has improved. I love the pumpkin and salty caramel! I also enjoy the dark chocolate, chocolate marshmallow, and coconut. Order online or on the app and call when you get to the door.

A fun and cute concept. You can either go into the store and buy the cupcakes or use the cupcake atm. Ordering is easy on the atm. The cupcakes themselves are OK. They're not something to really brag about, though they are well frosted. This place is a fun place to stop at if you're craving something sweet after dark.

Had been missing Sprinkles since moving away from California. This location in Chicago is more consistent and friendlier/quicker than many in SoCal. Their red velvet is so classic and very good. The seasonal s'mores cupcake was well executed.

I ordered a birthday box from out of state for my son's 30th birthday. They delivered on time and according to my son, the cupcakes and cookies were fabulous. He said they were the best cupcakes he had ever had. I highly recommend ordering from sprinkles. I can't wait to visit and use their vending machine to get my own cupcake!
