These are some of the most incredible pastries I've had yet. I'm pretty big on freshness, especially that very first bite into a croissant, and smallSUGAR went above and beyond. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and the almond croissant was easily my favorite. SO good! If you're in Columbia or even just passing through like I was, I would highly recommend making a stop here. I will definitely be finding an excuse to come back!

Stopped by smallSUGAR and had a decent overall experience, though a few things held it back…read more The space itself was clean and well-kept, with a modern, minimalist vibe that works well for a casual brunch or coffee stop. Service was fine. Nothing particularly standout, but smooth and efficient. For drinks, the coffee was average. It wasn't bad by any means, just nothing memorable. Especially considering the price point. Food-wise, there were some highlights. The sweet potato bowl was well-dressed and flavorful, though it felt like it was missing a protein component to make it more complete. The shakshuka was very good overall, with great flavor, though it leaned a bit salty. The biggest issue was the bread portion. It simply wasn't enough for the dish. I ended up ordering an extra side, and while it's listed as two slices, it's really just one slice cut in half. At $4 for that portion, that is very unreasonable. That was a recurring theme. Pricing felt high across the board for what you receive. While the flavors were there, nothing really stood out as exceptional enough to justify the cost. Overall, not a bad visit. Just one where the value didn't quite match the experience.

It was flavorful, well-balanced, and definitely the highlight of my visit. Unfortunately, the customer service didn't quite match the quality of the coffee. It wasn't bad, but it felt a bit subpar compared to the level of service I've experienced at other local coffee shops. The interaction wasn't particularly warm or memorable. Overall, I'm glad I tried the Banana Pudding Latte, and if you're curious about it, I'd recommend giving it a shot. As for me, I'm not sure if I'll return to this location, but I may check out their second location in the future to see if the experience is different

It was like toasted but not really. The chicken salad was good, but it was a bit on the sweet side for me. The portion was plentiful. The combo came with chips.
