Welcome to Cups!

We are La Jolla’s own organic cupcakery, lounge and teaching kitchen on Girard Avenue in the Village. Everything we serve is made in-house with the highest quality local, sustainable, organic ingredients – from our daily assortment of Cups, to our already-famous strawberry milk “on tap.”  Hang out in our lounge, open up your laptop and get some work done using our free wi-fi, or just pick up some cupcakes to bring to that dinner date you have tonight.  The person who brings the Cups Organic cupcakes to the party usually ends up being the most popular person of the event!

Come in and treat yourself!
