Sugar Island is a cozy used book store, that sells pastries, coffee and a few vintage items and…read moreantiques. I loved the store from the moment I walked in, with the quirky ceiling and stacks of old books. There are two floors of books with scattered vintage items here and there. Downstairs, I found the coffee and pastries. I picked up a Raspberry Crisp to take home. All the cookies looked yummy. Upstairs, there are children's books in a section and then other adult books. I could have spent hours browsing. The staff as welcoming and friendly. There is plenty of parking in the little strip mall. This is a fun, independently-owned, place for a book lover to come on a rainy (or sunny) day.

When I retired last year we decided to have a custom cake made for the occasion. American Dream…read moreCakes nailed it! Service was great. We walked in and asked a few questions, then ordered what we wanted. They were also able to deliver due to the close proximity from the bakery. Delivery was a little early, but that was a good thing. The cake turned out amazing! We were very pleased with the overall service and quality of the cake. The cake was moist, tasty, and definitely enough for everyone. The bakery itself does have daily baked goods. The bakery itself is very clean and neat. The employees were nice. If you need a custom cake, I recommend American Dream Cakes nailed for sure.

She goes above and beyond when it comes to ensuring your event, party, wedding, anniversary or just a basic order is to your upmost satisfaction. Her willingness to work with you on your specific needs and attention to detail is what sets her apart from all the rest. As for the products. I, myself, enjoy the cake truffles and peanut butterscotch crunch cupcakes. The effort that she puts into them really comes out in the details as well as the flavor. I won't go anywhere else when I get a sweet tooth that's for sure. Don't take my word for it, place your order now and see for yourself! You won't regret it!

There are quite a few outdoor tables, though. Tried the Sinful caramel pecan carrot cake cupcake. The caramel was put on the cupcake after I selected it. It was very good, tender, sweet. I especially liked the small chocolate toffee cookie topping. The cupcake was very expensive, a gourmet cupcake price at $4.50. It was on the smaller side. Maybe if it was a little bit bigger, then I would've been more satisfied. So probably not a place I would frequent often just because of the price. But boy was the cupcake good! The owner was very nice to talk to.

Usually he offers me a bite, but I didn't get that luxury this time lol. So that definitely means Smallcakes got his approval. The owner was so friendly and inviting.
