Cups in La Jolla is like a bakery and lounge in one…offering up fun-filled organic cupcake flavors in an upbeat atmosphere {there's an actual DJ spinning beats!}. The two "cup" sizes {big for $4 and small for $2} provides portion control for when you want to taste test a few different flavors or just need a little sweetness to hit the spot. The PB cup {chocolate cup with creamy peanut butter cream covered in gold flecked chocolate} and the Coco Limey {Coconut-lime cup topped with creamy kaffir lime-white chocolate
ganache} were favorites of the day. In terms of beverages, their Thai coffee hits the spot just right…a warm {and not too sweet} take on
the traditional Thai iced drink.
Final thoughts…3.5 out of 5 happy ladies for creative flavors, size options, and delicious coffee drinks. They do offer gluten-free and vegan options for those with dietary restrictions which is a rare find in San Diego bakeries. If you're not into loud music blasting from the live DJ inside, enjoy a cupcake and coffee in the sunshine at the faux mini patio right outside.

I love all the great cupcake flavors people are coming up with – those sound yummy! I guess I’m a sucker for the presentation, too. I think there’s nothing cuter than mommy~baby combos.
Recently I did an “Irish tasting” with cupcakes from our local shop. http://appetiteforconversation.blogspot.com/2010/03/irish-faceoff.html Not the same level of sophistication, but still fun!
I have been there and I found them to be lackluster not so good, but the shop is cute and the idea is good…but me no likey the cup cakes
These sure are mouth watering delicacies.
So glad I found your blog! (I live in SD) I’ve been looking for things to put on a san diegan bucket list 🙂
My little kids always helps me to bake yummy cakes.
