From their cakes and cookies, to their parfaits and macaroons, everything just hits. On a most recent visit, I tried their biscoff parfait and it was a show stopper.

They do coffee and other assorted beverages as well, but those are just support for the real stars of the show here, their desserts. I cannot say one bad thing I have had here (though a friend of mine says their cinnamon rolls were underwhelming). OVERALL - a great ending to an evening, or a destination unto itself. Get some, now!

Small delay in getting our table, though it was a busy night and we were ten minutes late for our reservation. Totally on us, very forgivable. When seated we were put in a busy travel corridor when much more accommodating or confortable tables were available. My seat was also uneven and wobbled alot. This speaks to much of the restaurant itself, it's all very well polished on the surface but it can only hide its age and wear so much. Broken, half working, half legible neon signs that probably once said cute things. Broken tv monitors that probably once held displays of beautiful landscapes, wobbly chairs and tables. They have a "candy store" but its charm is marred from the dozens of empty shelves and inventory boxes not put away, detracting from any would be ambiance. We started with one of their hawaiian punch "famous goblets", essentially a fishbowl cocktail for two or more to share. Rather pricey at 46 dollars. But the presentation was mostly nice. The dry ice is always a cool effect but upon integration bubbled over and our server had to use multiple napkins to wipe it up for us and We werent given our collectible rubber duckie garnishment either. They also have so much ice you cant even get to the last third of your drink without a fight, and a flimsy straw is your only weapon. It was ok, but ive had much better for less without all the mess. Again, my partner got tipsy and enjoyed herself. So, all good. At that price I let her nurse it and just sipped my water since I was driving anyways. It was our only drink. For food we ordered a flight of rainbow sliders. It's five sliders with a rainbow array of colored buns. They are supposed to include onions, cheese, and signature sauce. They arrived after 40 minutes overdone, lacking any "signature sauce" (they never define in the menu what it is), some without cheese and very few if any onions. The "onions" we did have seemed like the overun of onion ring batter they fished out of the fryer. I wouldn't recommend. The sliders themselves were also much smaller than the buns leaving a rather bread filled experience. I would hoenstly rather get a crave case from white castle. The kitchen did include the rubber duckie garnishment unlike the bar though. We also tried the mac and cheese pops. I will say these were quite good, but the included bed of marinara sauce while very tasty, was woefully lacking in quantity to be a meaningful dipping sauce in any form. Thankfully the tomato bisque I ordered was very tasty and proved a wonderful substitute. Though I had to hunt down a staff member to even get a spoon to eat it with and that took almost ten minutes even in our busy corridor. I also ordered a steak sandwich with fries. The bread was good, but the steak was like the sliders.. horrendously overcooked, very little cheese or onions, very heavy on the mushrooms (also overcooked and burnt). The french fries were spot on but they're also just french fries. Much rather would have some fresh ones from mcdonalds for a fourth the price. The tables also have no salt or pepper so you cant even attempt to season something to your preference. The only thing rewarding about this place to me, is the stuff that had sugar in it. Which makes sense given its name. The birthday milkshake my partner got came very well prepared, was extremely decadent and delicious and the presentation was fantastic with birthday sprinkle glass and the entire slice of rainbow cake garnishment on top of it. Its impressive if a little hard to practically manage. The cake was top notch and very creamy and buttery and smooth, and the milkshake equaled it. 6/5 there. They also brought her a nice strawberry and chocolate ice cream sundae with a big showy sparkler that drew a lot of attention and the staff sang us a nice song. It made her very happy. Overall, this probably was a good place before and I do think the service staff "try" to maintain that atmosphere. (I use quotes because italics isnt available here on yelp.) Our server Kit-Kat (yes you read that correctly) was overall very attentive and thoughtful. I saw some servers really get down on the birthday celebrations for the larger groups. That was fun as well. Though it did get almost dance club level loud at times. Three servers also went out of their way to graciously compliment my partner and I for her beauty, her style, and my attire. (Not in a weird way, very nice to us to hear such things unprovoked) That being said they do charge even small 2 person tables a mandatory 20% excess gratuity of which 3% goes to the restaurant and 17% goes to servers.

We chose Sugar Factory Detroit to celebrate my son's birthday, and unfortunately the entire…read moreexperience was a flop. First issue: our reservation was canceled through OpenTable, which already started the night off poorly on what was supposed to be a special occasion. The food was extremely disappointing. The fish was inedibly salty, to the point no one at the table could finish it. The drinks were just as bad -- watery, with all the candy sitting at the bottom, offering more for looks than taste. To make it worse, there was no dry ice, which is a big part of why people come here in the first place. Everything was wildly overpriced for the quality we received. For a place that markets itself on experience and celebration, it completely missed the mark. This was meant to be a fun birthday dinner, and instead it was frustrating and disappointing from start to finish. For the price and the hype, we expected much better.
