Dots Cupcakes

This was my first time at Dots Cupcakes, and I think I'm obsessed--literally such a sweet idea! (All puns intended.)I stopped by before Valentine's Day to pick up some treats for my family and ended up getting more than I planned. The designs and flavors were excellent, and I left with 16 cupcakes, a mix of big and small.After leaving, I couldn't resist trying one in the parking lot, and within minutes, I turned back to grab more. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and we had a laugh about how quickly I returned. Their great service made the experience even better.The shop has a nice, inviting atmosphere, making it a great place to stop by for a sweet treat.The carrot cake cupcake was especially good, and the attention to detail in the design was a nice touch. If adorable could be described as a food, it would be the mini carrot cupcakes--they were almost too cute to eat! Everything I tried was well-made and enjoyable.With its combination of good service, a pleasant setting, and delicious cupcakes, Dots Cupcakes is definitely worth a visit.

Excellent in every way...! The taste is incredible, the staff is friendly and the location, not only is it in a great place, easy to find; however, finding parking is not troublesome.

Super cute storefront with friendly staff. The Irvine Dots location is just as whimsical as its City of Roses counterpart. Bring a fan of the OG Pasadena location, Irvine Dots did not disappoint.Dots Cupcakes does a great job with their chocolate varieties due to the moist texture of the cake. You can't go wrong with trying anything chocolate. My favorites are the following:Mostess - chocolate cake topped with chocolate buttercream and a familiar white swirl. Reminiscent of a Hostess cupcake but a thousand times better. FYI, only available Friday-Sunday.Chocolate Coconut - chocolate cake frosted with vanilla buttercream and topped with coconut flakes. Final touch is an adorable bear adornment.

Called in an order for 4 cupcakes..Black Forest, Hazlenut Crunch, Cookies and Cream and Vanilla squared...WE LOVED THEM!!! Very fresh even after a 2 hour long car ride home....We're not too big on cakes and sweets in our home....but we mowed these down...would definitely recommend and would most certainly come back.....

I grew up eating these cupcakes from Pasadena and they are just as amazing as they were when I was little!This is a cute little location in Irvine that has a wide variety of flavors usually offered as well as ones that are special for the day. It's cool that they have a consistent selection of cupcakes for everyday because I feel like with bakeries, it's usually only what they decide to bake for that day. Shop was cutely decorated and clean and server was very friendly. There's some seating but it's more of a to go place than a sit down. We got 4 minis and I had the fleur de sol one. It was just as delicious as it was when I was younger. Chocolate cake and icing were perfect and rich. The caramel swirl with salt complimented the chocolate so well. It was very sweet but the mini was a perfect size for the amount of sweetness the cupcake offered. I tried more of the other flavors in another recent visit and they were all amazing as well. I do feel like the cupcakes are on the pricey side so this is definitely a place to go when I want to treat myself or for a special occasion. The minis truly are tiny, like a couple bites tiny. I get that they're gourmet and all but the price of 4 of minis was wild (~$11). Overall, the cupcakes are quality and are just as good as they were 10+ years ago, they're just pretty expensive.

Went to Dots this morning at 10:00am and they had a sign that they would open late today. There was no time listed on the paper. I also checked the Instagram page to see if it was posted they would be open later today but nothing. My daughter was looking forward to the cupcakes for her class today. I had to find another dessert place.

Super friendly stuff member, clean store, great decorations, and their mini cupcakes are just the right size I want!Love the chocolate flavour. Light and fluffy, not too sweet and very chocolatey! The packaging is also so cute

I seriously love this place! I stumbled across this spot on yelp. I was looking to place an order for a birthday party. They definitely didn't disappoint. I ordered cupcakes and they were all individually boxed. Everyone who works there is so friendly and helpful. They even texted me to confirm the order before coming to pick it up. I will definitely be using them for all my parties Thanks guys!

I have tried this place twice for cupcakes. Every time I have really enjoyed the cupcakes. The Holiday sets are very cute. I think their cupcakes are very moist and not too sweet. I do find their more unique flavors the best. I really liked their Tiramisu and Blueberry Cheesecake Cupcakes.

Doors were closed at 7:05 PM. We must've looked like sad puppies outside the door because the closing staff ran to the back and got the owner to open the door for us. Haha. Thank you. Really appreciated that gesture. We were told they were sold out of most. So here's what we tried - dulce de leche, strawberry shortcake, cookies and cream, red velvet, chocolate, and chocolate hazelnut. All were moist & the frosting is a little on the sweeter side but it is the perfect pair to their cupcakes. Personally, I prefer this over Sprinkles cupcakes. I love that they come in minis & regulars. The half a dozen minis ($16) come in a cute decorative box with a handle. It is the perfect little gift. Coffee & drinks also available. Few tables inside to sit at. Thanks for the awesome service. Cute store. Will most likely come back and try their carrot cupcake!
