Outside
Ayana H.

The guy working was very friendly and appreciative that I stopped to support the business. After a discussion about the most popular options, I made a decision to try the traditional butter cookie and the caramel cake. He was confident that this cake is the best in the land. The actual cake is good, but the frosting was very sugary. It's a very small space to walk in and order only.

German chocolate cake

Stopped at this bakery today right before closing. It's the first time we visited. Usually I bake German chocolate cupcakes for my husband's birthday, but this year I didn't get to it so we found Brown Shuga on our way home from dinner. We bought a slice of German chocolate cake, a slice of red velvet cake, and a coconut cupcake. Joe, one of the co-owners, gave my husband oatmeal cookies because it was his birthday today. How sweet! I tried everything we bought and it all was so moist and delicious. The frostings were amazing! The cakes and cupcakes were not overly sweet, so the flavors stood out. So glad we found this bakery!

Delicious cake slices and cookie

I'm going to start by saying I found this bakery on the Too Good To Go app. I had never heard of them but who doesn't love baked goods?! I purchased my surprise bag and figured ok if it's not great then it's still a discounted bag. For those of you who don't know about this app- you buy a discounted bag of food that's leftover or would go to waste is the basic idea. It's to help slow food waste. So we never know what we will get, but it's usually worth more than the price. I use it as a way to try places I've never had before sometimes it's not worth it some places like this hidden gem, are very worth it!!!! This little bakery is in a strip mall not too far from me and I was so surprised how often I must have passed it without realizing! Let me tell you, I will never pass up this place again, they may be a small bakery but oh man, BIG FLAVOR!!! This may very well be my new fave sweet treat place. I wish I knew about them sooner, they are amazing. In my surprise bag I received a slice of yellow cake with pink frosting I think possibly strawberry, a slice of cake that was half chocolate and half vanilla with a delish caramel frosting or glaze I'm not sure but it was heavenly. Both cake slices were SOO tender and moist, dense without being too much, buttery and so flavorful. I also received a buttery cookie that I'm not sure flavor bc my children inhaled it in seconds. They said it was "the best cookie ever" and wanted to know when we can go back for more. We will DEFINITELY be back for more regular purchases, now that I know how amazing this bakery is. The gentleman who helped us was friendly and kind, and made our trip short but pleasant. I am now not surprised at all how they have a 5 star rating, they have earned every single star and I wish I could give them an extra gold star for the epic deliciousness they have introduced me to. I will be going back probably this week to try more of their items, they had a peach cobbler that looked to die for, knowing now how well they bake I'm sure it probably is!!! Keep up the amazing work, you are killing it!!!!

I followed up three separate times after the event to share my concerns and received no response at all--which really shows how little they value customer service. * I didn't receive the full list of cake flavor options until four days before pickup, and when I asked to switch flavors, I was told it was already too late because the cakes had been baked without confirming my choice. * I had a confirmed pickup time of 10:30 a.m., but when I arrived, I was told the designer went home sick and the cakes weren't finished. I ended up waiting until 11:45 a.m. for them to be decorated, which explains the rushed design. * The cake pops weren't ready, so I had to cancel them and run to another store last-minute to find replacements. * I specifically requested pastel colors, but the cakes were decorated in bright colors that didn't match anything we discussed. * The design and quality were extremely disappointing--the decorations looked rushed, the frosting was hard, and the smash cake wasn't even edible for its intended use. Overall, this was an unprofessional and frustrating experience from start to finish. Between the poor communication, lack of accountability, low-quality product, and complete disregard for customer concerns, I strongly recommend going elsewhere. They clearly do not prioritize quality or customer service.

This bakery is 5 YEARS old! I cannot believe I have never tried it…read more In a pinch for a red velvet cake I made a call the day before and YES! They could do it. I got a whipped filling and buttercream frosting. This cake was moist and the frostings were so good! The options of cakes and fillings- never ending! I had to hold myself back and not buy anything else. I did grab myself a cherry bar. Tiny tart - Loved every bite. Go get yourself something tasty!

This is a recent discovery and I wished I had discovered it sooner!…read more Here's what we have tried so far: 1) Creme brulee donut* 2) Caramel banana crunch cruffin* 3) Tiramisu cruffin* 4) Chocolate donut with vanilla glaze and sprinkles 5) Vanilla donut with strawberry glaze and sprinkles 6) Vanilla glazed old-fashioned donut The ones marked with an asterisk are our favorites. Those items are a bit pricier than the rest but they are quite unique. The cruffins are flakey, sugary without being overwhelming, creamy but subtle, and very satisfying. I have a strong sweet tooth and I am greedy. So I generally like to try more than one item in one sitting. These portions are not small and I would recommend sharing if you want to try a variety. I have monthly appointments in the general area and I try to plan it so that I will have enough time before or after my appointment to make a quick stop at Fiene's. My visits are usually during the week and I would be in and out within 10 minutes.
