We went here looking for dessert because it's one of those rare bakeries that opens after 3pm lol. I walk by here a few times before but never bother to come in because nothing appeared appetizing to me. It's been a while since I been back so it looks like they expanded a little. When we arrived, they still had a lot of their pastries selection left so that was nice. We ended up getting a carrot cake and a jam scone. Surprisingly, the jam scone was really good. I didn't think it was going to be that good but it was delicious. We finished that one pretty quickly. I love how the jam and the scone balance each other and the texture of the scone was perfect. The carrot cake was also good. If you eat the cake on its own, it's not too sweet, but If you eat it with the frosting, it was actually balanced. Also, the cake is moist and not dry so that was a bonus. Overall, I can see myself coming back to try their other stuff. read more

Sugar Bakery fell short of expectations. The red velvet cupcake was dry, with gritty frosting that tasted like straight shortening. The macarons were stale and overly sweet--no delicate chew, just crunch. read more

Right down the street from our hotel was this super cute bakery. When entering there are a few seats on the side, a small waiting area and outside tables. The average price for a pastry or coffee is about $4-$6 and assuming this is a small business I highly recommend it. The pastries are baked fresh every morning with an assortment from croissants to cookies to sandwiches. The coffees are completely customizable unlike the overpriced and disappointing Starbucks reserve. I was able to add oat milk and caramel syrup! The croissants are always important to me as honeycombing and flaking is very complex. Although the croissant was more on the doughier side, it is 100% better than all the overpriced places in LA (where I am from) Last thing is the young girl who was at register was so so sweet! She was very helpful and patient with me and family and I really appreciate it! read more

Stopped over at this place whike at the hospital. Close proximity to Virginia Mason and Swedish Health. They also offer a healthcare discount for workers and discount for bringing your own cup. The coffe is nice and strong latte! They feature Kuma coffee here which is a local coffee roaster! read more

Cake was fantastic. I got a slices of the champagne and birthday. There is nothing like buttercream icing. The sandwich is why I gave 4 stars. Turkey cranberry. The turkey was turkey loaf, thick cut and tastes like a sponge. It came hot and with lettuce on it gross. Wouldn't get that again. Delicious cake though. read more

Had a really nice breakfast before sightseeing. Spacious layout with high ceilings make it a fun space. I opted for the veggie breakfast sandwich and a soy chai latte. Sandwich was hearty with roasted tomato, spinach, egg and cheese. Latte was a perfectly made combo of sweet and spicy. It's order at the counter and they bring it to you. The array of baked goods was tempting, but it's rare I'll splurge on baked goods. Nice staff and clean restrooms, made this a great experience. Lots of folks lingering and working as well as tourists like me. read more

I was craving some cake after my appt across the street and saw that this bakery was super close. I saw all the good reviews for the cakes and was excited to try. I bought 2 cake slices at $6.50 each slice. It definitely LOOKS nice. I mean, who can resist a good looking chocolate cake? I wish I could say the same for the taste though :/ The frosting was lacking flavor and kind of just felt like I was eating unsalted butter half the time. The cake itself looked moist but was on the drier side and I had wished there was some simple syrup to moisten the cake. I think another issue was that the cake is in the open and probably lost any moisture to the air. It's a shame that it wasn't that good. Guess I'm still on the hunt for the best chocolate cake in the Puget Sound area! read more

Unfortunately I didn't like my experience here. I came to wait here while my husband had procedure at the hospital. I ask for the tea and I didn't know they gave me most biggest size not even asking me about it? They charged me $5.25 FOR THE HOT TEA!!!! its like tea bag and hot water 1 minute for the boiling water. Later I found out at Piroski tea was $1.95. I understand coffee can be expensive but not the tea!!! They literally don't have to do anything. I took butter croissant as well and it was worst croissant ever! It felt so starchy inside like a flavor of the old butter. Hardly could finish it. Paid $9 for tea and croissant its ridiculous! They just get so much business because they are close to the hospital. read more

I am a bit of a cake snob, as my wife is a wonderful baker. However, after just having had minor surgery, I felt like a pick-me-up. So, we stopped in at Sugar for a slice of cake..... and exited with three!! Walking in with a bandage around my head, the staff delivered the sweetest and most patient service. Answering questions about every cake they had with a smile. I ended up with three slices: a heavy, rich Chocolate Fudge, a light, airy Lemon Chiffon, and a Chocolate and Vanilla Cream that was right in between. Each slice was perfect. Not too sweet, and you can taste the great quality of the chocolate. The Lemon Chiffon was, as the name implied, as airy as a whisp of chiffon and light, zesty and lemony. I knew that I would hurt and be miserable once the local anesthesia wore off, but I had my cake and ate it. read more

Plenty of seating in this spacious cafe which sells plants along one wall, fresh baked pastries, and yummy coffee. I ordered the chai tea latte, and my husband ordered black coffee. My chai tea latte was perfectly creamy and spiced. Friendly fast service! The counter seating along the window has a view of the Space Needle. I ordered a butter croissant and chocolate croissant to go for my girls and they proclaimed them deliciously flaky. The music in the background was mellow and quiet enough that one could stay for hours to work or read or converse. read more

Red velvet cake was absolutely delicious. Decadent but not too sweet, and textually immaculate. Highly recommend.

Sugar is down the street from major hospitals on pill hill in Seattle. We came here for some sustenance after a hospital visit. They have a great assortment of cookies and pastries, sweet and savory, sandwiches and lunch salads, as well as coffee tea and other beverages to go with them. Service was fast and friendly. Cute decor with rolling pins on the wall. They also have a lot of cool plants for sale. We shared some of their cookies with family and everyone asked where they came from and wanted more. read more

Fast friendly service! I stayed at a hotel nearby and popped in for a pick-me-up. Great coffee and the salted caramel croissant is a must!

This place was amazing. Just simply a perfect bakery. Great, cozy atmosphere, with a wrap around display exhibiting all of their confections. The space felt large and inviting and the staff were very nice and pleasant as well. And then there was the cake. My goodness, I am not exaggerating when I say this is one of the best red velvet cakes I've ever had. The cake was moist and literally melted in my mouth. The chocolate frosting in the middle added an extra depth of flavor to the perfectly crafted cream cheese frosting which was sweetened to perfection. I devoured the piece so quickly and I wished I had grabbed another on my way out... Or maybe just bought a whole cake! When I come back to Seattle, I will definitely coming back for another few slices! read more

They have amazing cakes that taste delicious. We got the Creme brûlée cake and it was so rich in flavor and looked so aesthetic. Heads up, they require a 24 hour notice for their whole cakes so make sure you order ahead of time if you want a whole. read more

They switched the bread used for the Turkey sandwich and it's major thumbs down. Not a one off either as the past several times I've ordered it's been this stale, poor quality bread as opposed to a nice French bread. I hope they go back or figure something else out because it really makes it not worth ordering anymore. read more

Hot drinks and baked good tasted amazing. Had a turkey and Swiss croissant, hot chocolate, and brownie cookie. Line was long, but service was still pretty quick. Small walk around space, but was able to sit at some of the tables. read more

Really crazy to be serving dry, tasteless overpriced pastries and still have the worst customer service I've ever had but go off Quynh!!

I had a blood donation at the nearby Northwest Bloodworks (giving them a shout-out), and I decided to research on where to go for treats afterwards since I'm not familiar with the area. From a map search and an Intentionalist search, I found Sugar Bakery & Cafe, a woman-owned and minority-owned eatery selling sweets and savory. Yum! The food: Caprese Sandwich - 3.5 Stars Other than fresh Mozzarella cheese and tomatoes, they also included spinach leaves with a touch of vinaigrette. The bread is very tasty but starchy; the ones I like from San Francisco North Beach area is more airy with a chewy texture. I wish there was a bit more Mozzarella cheese too. Vegetarian Potato Quiche - 5 Stars This was tasty, and a great lunch portion. Also bonus points that it's not bready. The starch comes from potato only. Lemon Chiffon Cake - 4.5 Stars This was very yummy. The lemon is very light and just the perfect ratio. Crème Brûlée Cake - 5+ Stars This slice is epic and totally cheat worthy if you are limiting your treats. The caramel is at just the right amount and not too sweet. Chocolate Chip Cookie - 4.5 Stars This is the kind of cookie I like, with just enough 'burn' that I can taste the caramelization. Pink Champagne (Raspberry) Cake - 4 Stars This is essentially a raspberry cake. A bit more normal compared to the other two but still tasty. Butter Croissant - 3.5 Stars I can taste the layers, the crispiness on the outside, and the butter. It should be a bit more plump. With the 25% capacity, they were allowing 3 people inside at a time. We placed our order in person, then we went outside to wait for our order which they brought out to us. read more

Picked up a few slices of cake and cheesecake - prices ranged from $6.50 to $8 per slice. There's also a service charge (5%) that's added to the total (receipt states it all goes to the staff). With increasing prices with everything, I'm honestly getting tired of seeing additional surprise charges. Establishments need to either embed the fees into their product prices or pay their workers more and leave the consumers alone. Back home, I sampled a few slices - some cakes were a little on the dry side. Granted, the cakes were purchased at night, so maybe they weren't as fresh anymore and started to dry out? The frostings weren't overly sweet which was a plus, but overall, the cakes were OK. With the dryness, small/medium sized slices, and being that the cakes were just OK, I was a little disappointed considering I shelled out just under $30 for four slices. Tip: Sometimes they offer a Yelp check-in deal or check the Yelp app for promos. read more

I recently ordered the vanilla chocolate cake, and would not order this cake again. It looked beautiful, but the edges of the chocolate cake itself was a little dry, and the white frosting was weird. Even after having it sit out at room temperature for a few hours, the white frosting was hard and flaky, and broke off in large crumbly pieces. It almost looked and felt like fondant? The middle of the cake was delightful- the cake was delicate and moist, and the cream filling was nice (different from the frosting that covered the cake). read more

I placed a large order from this location for a meeting at my office. We had specific dietary restrictions so I asked for the vegetarian and vegan items to be separated. They went above and beyond and made sure any limited dietary item was separated and clearly labeled. Since it was a large catering order, we had it delivered and they were right on time. The standard pastries were flaky and buttery, the vegan muffin was fluffy and so flavorful and the vegetarian items were so quick to go without a single complaint. 100% will order from them again and highly recommend to anyone looking for an elevated breakfast or lunch option. read more

We've avoided this place for a long time because it's on the smaller side and we figured they have their pastries delivered from somewhere- WE WERE WRONG!! Sugar Bakery is great - you can watch them prep their pastry dough and make great food!! Thank you for such a good selection and a high quality product. Absolutely delicious - the turkey and cheese croissant I ate had perfect flake and balanced flavors read more

My friend and I went here to catch up before work and we loved our time here! The pastries were delicious and they heated it up for us too! The matcha latte was amazing too but I thought the cappuccino was alright. The ambience was great too - there's a plethora of seating and I can definitely see my self coming back to catch up with a friend or do some work. The staff was extremely friends too - they told what their favorite pastries were because there were so many delicious ones to choose from. I'd recommend this place to all my friends and I'll be coming back soon! read more

Amazing baked goods! I've tried quite a few of the sweets here and I recommend sticking with the croissant type baked goods since they are the best! 5* croissants: choco croissant, havarti croissant, any danish Their croissants are so light and crispy and airy and buttery...so delicious! The fruit danishes are so good I tried their Apple (usually my least fav flavor) and it was actually really good - the cinnamon, nutmeg cream around the apple really built flavor and the apple itself wasn't mushy, kept its shape and flavor. Everything else is still good, but not my favorite. 3* Jam Scone: jam tasted like sugar free, artificial jelly. But still somehow nostalgic Nanaimo bar: mostly just sugar with some coconut, nuts and overly sweetened cream cheese icing. Tasty if you like sugar, but not what I was looking for Carrot cake: not a super light sponge, kinda heavy, yet could use more carrots. More like a lightly spiced cake with a hint of carrot Vegan muffin: fine, but pretty forgettable Cinnamon brioche: I need to stop trying these since the always end up tasting more like bread than anything else. If you're looking for a bread bun with cinnamon this is good. If you're looking for something closer to a cinnamon roll, this isn't is. All in all, I'm still going back for the croissants and danishes. Things are good enough I might venture in for lunch as well. read more

Ordered a birthday cake and cake fell short of expectations. The buttercream was way too hard and inedible - even after leaving the cake out to defrost for over 3 hours (they suggested 2 hours). Everyone made a comment on the buttercream frosting. I left a leftover slice out for 4 hours the next day to see and still had the same inedible issue. Quite disappointed when cakes are pricey and one would expect a delicious cake. Another added disappointment is that I prepaid a tip when I ordered it which makes me pause the next time I have to order something ahead of time and they put on a tip request. read more

After seeing this place over and over again on Instagram, I decided to go ahead and give it a try. I kept seeing all of these amazing pastries on their Instagram page through promotions and I just kept thinking "man!!I gotta try them out!" WELL THE TIME FINALLY CAME!!! Finding the place was a bit tricky as it's right on Madison! Not off to the side, not on the corner, but right on Madison. And the store front doesn't stick out for the other establishments next to it. The parking isn't the best either but I made it work. Walking into the bakery, I will be honest, it wasn't what I was expecting. Because it says bakery but it's more like a cafe. I haven't been to too many bakeries that offer drinks, and meals. It's also very....Seattle. Out of the ordinary, something you wouldn't expect, but something that makes sense for Seattle. Now when I go to bakeries I like to purchase multiple options for myself and family to try. They do have a lot of options but you also need to get there at a certain time as some items do sell out. I wasn't able to get the cinnamon roll but that's okay. I'll get it next time. Ordered 2 snickerdoodles 1 lemon cookie 1 lavender cookie 1 red velvet cupcake 1 almond croissant The service was kind and fast, she packaged my items and I was on my way. The cupcake was delicious! I hate shops that give a small amount of frosting for cupcakes. This place has it down! The frosting was nice, thick, and plentiful, the cupcake itself was quite dense and so the two pair well together. My partner ate it very fast and asked for another lol The snickerdoodles were perfect! Soft and delicious. My brother said the lemon cookie was good as well with an exception of the large sugar crystals. I felt the lavender cookie was too small, but it was good nonetheless. Now....that almond croissant...it is the best croissant I've ever had. Double baked, topped with almond slices and powdered sugar. Stuffed with the almond filling, omg. It is a airy, crispy, soft, and delicious all at the same time. I would literally come here just for the croissant!! BUT CAUTION!!! The croissant is only available on Tuesday and Thursdays. But so worth the wait in between! I highly recommend them! I took 1 star off because again, I feel the lavender cookie is small, and the cookies in general are pretty standard in taste. Also, the boxes for cupcakes don't hold the cupcakes very well. I do plan on going back, for another croissant of course lol read more
