Sift
Ooh La La (AKA Red Velvet)
Snicker Doodle
24 Carrot
Like most of the shops that cropped up during the cupcake boom there is a cute story behind the origins of Sift and having neglected to visit the Napa location during my previous trip to The Bay I was happy to hear a new location had opened up in Pacific Heights, particularly one with late hours allowing for a visit after walking the Marina District and Presidio after dinner. A small space with ample use of pink, polka dots, and floral patterns plus staff as sweet as the confections I opted for three small cupcakes tallying $10 after tax and with each option moist and well balanced in cake to frosting ratio I cannot say that anything specifically stuck out about these confections versus other designer cupcakes but with that said, any restaurant who answers the question “How many calories are in a cupcake?” with “Everything in moderation…except for dessert, have seconds!” receives my stamp of approval.
