Comment on Kara’s vs. Sprinkles — Cupcake Throwdown by Rosa

I work with a group of ladies, and we all LOVE sprinkles. If any of us is going to be up the peninsula, we take orders to pick-up Sprinkles for everyone. So when Kara’s opened at Santana Row, we too we super excited, and took an after work field trip within a day or two of them opening. Stood in a line that was out the door almost to “The Counter”…. soooooo NOT WORTH IT! We were sooooo disappointed. Your review is SPOT ON!

Billy,
Thanks for the comments. Glad to hear you have made some changes based on customer feedback. I returned in December to grab some take-out lobster bisque on a chilly evening and really enjoyed it…very flavorful and not overly thick. Still have to return for some mussels and cioppino.

Hello Bayareafoodie,

Since your early review in October we continued to improve our products from all the great feedback we received from our guests. Yes, the warm buttered lobster roll on our brioche (similar to Neptune’s Oyster in Boston) is the preferred option for many of our customers. The toasted brioche is now much smaller giving more balance to the roll. Customer like the fact that we have more options, such as Hot Dog Roll, or dressed with mayo only. Our original dressed lobster roll; the Fenway Park recipe of fresh tarragon, parsley & lemon zest is a favorite for many but we do realize the mayo only is an important option. Next time you are in the restaurant let me know so i can thank you for you feedback. Sincerely, Billy

Ross -I had no idea that the vegan red velvet would taste different. I will try when I go next month for my praline and s’more fix! Thanks!

you need to try the vegan red velvet – the cake is a little bit more dense but still super moist and just a hint of coconut in the frosting

so good, maybe better than the regular one

also, agreed about brown sugar praline (back next month!) and banana
