My girls and I love James and the Giant Cupcake, on San Pablo near Alcatraz. I take them here when they deserve a special treat, like they just got shots or a blood draw, and it helps get them through the un-fun process knowing what they have to look forward to.
I let the girls get a big cupcake each and I get 3 mini cupcakes; cost is around $8. We all get different flavors and all share bites, so we can try all kinds of cupcakes in one sitting! For those with food requirements, they also offer vegan and gluten-free options (if you must). They also have a little coloring corner for kids and if your wee one draws a cute and colorful picture of a cupcake, they will put it up on the wall!
Hello, it’s Whitney here in italics. If I may add my $0.02: I bought two dozen mini-cupcakes at James and the Giant Cupcake for my own 40th birthday party. It was the perfect treat.
