I was working in my hotel room nearby and was grateful to find that you can order delivery right through the Yelp app! They have a nice selection of specialty lattes and breakfast items. Both mornings I got one of their specialty lattes (divine) and a build your own breakfast sandwich. I also ordered hash browns on the side. Everything always arrived piping hot and was delicious. I got the build your own breakfast sandwich served on an asiago bagel with egg and cheese and cream cheese on the side. They had everything well packaged for delivery, which I appreciated. Thanks, Sweetwaters, for keeping this girl well caffeinated and fed during a work trip! And, thanks to all the Yelpers who came before to lead the way to this gem. Get to it!

The staff were so friendly. I loved all the merch too and their phrase, the world says hurry we say hello! The vibes were right and the place was clean. Definitely want to go back again soon!

This coffee shop is within walking distance from the Five Points Fountain, and there is plenty of metered street parking within walking distance. We decided to grab 1 house blend hot coffee and 1 nitro cold brew coffee to go. The staff was very friendly and helpful with us, as this was our first experience with this coffee shop. The price was very affordable, and we can see why it's so popular with many of the college students.

They were all so sweet and really went above and beyond to make sure it was a high-quality experience. I noticed that they openly advertise that they don't accept tips and have slightly higher prices in order to pay their workers a living wage, and the results were directly reflected in the customer service that I received. As for the food and drink (coffee), that was pretty good as well! While I do wish that they might have had bagels, the croissant that I substituted it for was warm, buttery, and tasty, and it was a nice change from my usual coffee shop meal, as I've only had a croissant a handful of times. The coffee was fine, and I loved how they offered free refills, which I've noticed that other local coffee shops usually don't. Finally, I loved the setting of the restaurant, which gave you the opportunity to either sit inside and enjoy the ambiance or on the outside patio and enjoy some peace and quiet. I also loved the artwork that they had on the walls, which the waitress informed me was painted by a local artist and which you could purchase if you wanted to. All-in-all, I loved smallSUGAR, will be back in the future, and would highly recommend stopping in!

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.
