I just really love Sugar. The name, the shop, the diverse art on display, the people inside and most of all... their pastries and food! My office is dangerously located right across the street, so it's safe to assume I've frequented this quaint pink-striped shop full of baked love a time or two.. this week. (Thanks for being so yummy, I've got a bridesmaids dress to look good in soon). I'm sure most people go for the sweet goodies, but let me tell you something. A must-have for lunch is their new foccacia bread sandwiches. I had the tomato-basil-mozzerella today and almost died. Delicious. Order it grilled and the sandwich literally melts in your mouth, but is amazingly fresh at the same time. I've ordered their mochas and italian sodas. They're good, but I'm a Starbucks addict. Their cookies and pastries are consistently good and they always have a good selection. Perfect for that random afternoon sweet tooth that wont be satisfied by pre-packaged blah. Always cute and creative seasonals! read more

Outstanding place for breakast. Good coffe, amazing baked goods and friendly staff. 4 days i seattle ... 4 breakfasts at the sugar bakery. Try their oatmeal blackberry scones! read more

I stopped by Sugar this morning after reading good things about it and while I was looking to get a loaf of brioche I instead got a cinnamon brioche pastry which was heaven. Like the best cinnamon roll you have ever had but better! read more

Very friendly, warm service and their baked goods aren't bad either! We were heading to the Frye art museum on a cold morning and needed to stoke the furnace. It hit the spot with great scones and simple pastries! read more

I went and checked out Sugar yesterday. I read a review and it looked great. The brioche are amazing! I couldn't decide what to get so I got a brioche, a brownie and a lavender shortbread. I split the Brioche with my boyfriend, big mistake! It was so good, I wanted it all to my self. I ate part of the brownie for dessert, it was amazing! I am sure the shortbread will yummy as well. I will definitely will go back again soon. The only downside to Sugar is the parking! But, I parked in the McDonald's parking lot and it was no big deal. read more

When I am out and about on First Hill, I make a specific point to drop by Sugar. Their lavender soda is refreshing and unusual. Their pastries are tasty without being too sweet. read more

Every once in a while, I stumble on a gem, in this case Sugar Bakery. The cupcakes (3 different varieties a day) are amongst the best I've ever had, and the panini and soup are terrific, too. It's a very small dining area, though, so don't plan to bring more than a friend (though bringing cupcakes back to the rest of your friends is a good idea.) read more

I'm reviewing only the King Cake from Sugar because that's the only thing I've ever had from there. Although it looked beautiful the King Cake is anything but a traditional one. I read the online description and assumed that there would be cinnamon in the brioche bread that forms the cake, but there wasn't...what self-respecting Louisiana native (such as myself) has ever heard for King Cake without cinnamon in it??? - NONE - that's how many. We got the pecan filling, and everything was dry by the time we ate it later in the evening of the day we picked it up. Wish they would bake a more traditional one so I could try it, and side note, $37.50 is too pricey for a king cake regardless of whether beads are included or not. read more

I am a croissant lover and have had many many many in my life. The one I had here was not the best I have ever had. Not bad but not great. The price is what really pissed me off. My croissant was $4.00. It was tiny! I would expect $4 for a bagel or even a bigger croissant but this one was half the size of a bagel :( Sadly Starbucks has bigger, cheaper, and better croissants. read more

Oh Sugar! Why do I love you so! Except for the fact that you are no longer open on Sunday - you have the most delicious pastries and beverages on, dare I say? Capitol Hill. The Lavender sodas are my favorite! read more

I had cake and cupcakes here before and they were pretty good. I decided to stop by today for a slice of cake (red velvet) and I was very disappointed. It was very dry, hard and leathery seems like a few days old cake. I wasted 6$ on an inedible cake!! read more

Sugar Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

BEST BAKERY EVER. I guess I'm biased because I used to work for the company.... but I have worked and eaten at bakeries on a regular basis for the past 10 years and sugar bakery is the best. i still dream about the gluten free flourless chocolate cake , JAM SCONE, sugar cookies, cheesecake bites, coconut balls, macaroons, ummm.... everything. Stephanie is a great person as well as owner and oh my god, the best baker. everyone needs to discover this little treasure on first hill. something for everyone, i tell ya. read more

The fire alarm blared at the neighboring hotel early on a Saturday morning. I walked to the Sugar Bakery until the all clear! I has the GLUTEN FREE lemon polenta cake and a triple shot latte. It was so good! They had a decent supply of gluten free items. You can imagine it was a busy morning and they took care of the customers with smiles and efficiency. read more

Sugar Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We ordered 100 cupcakes from Sugar Bakery & Cafe. The cupcakes were gross. The cake part of the cupcake was dry and the frosting tasted like biting into a stick of butter--it was disgusting. I have always heard good things about this bakery and was very disappointed. read more

The king cake is not a king cake. It is a giant loaf of bread (not even a sweet bread) with glaze and sprinkles on top. The cream cheese filling is basically non-existent. King cakes OOZE with filling. I was hard-pressed to figure out where the filling even was. I was SO DISAPPOINTED. I've had a king cake every year of my life and this was my first year after moving here and I searched like a crazy person to find a king cake, settled on this place because of a review from someone who apparently has no clue what a king cake is supposed to taste like, and it's over. It honestly would have also cost around HALF to have a king cake from Louisiana air mailed over here. I guess that will be what I do next year. I thought it would be fun to have something fresh and it would have been...if it was actually a king cake. King cakes also last for about a week. This thing turned into a brick over night. My husband chose to eat a three week old grocery store cake over more of this thing. Never again. read more

Had 2 birthdays back to back. I work in downtown Seattle and this is the closest place I know. I ordered the Lemon curd cake and was surprised how good it was. The following month, I stopped by again to get a raspberry cake. It was perfectly sweetened to my taste. I love that it is conveniently located next to the hospital that i go to for check-ups. It's my go to place now for sweet treats! read more

A hole in the wall off Madison & Boren surrounded by a myriad of hospital buildings. They have pretty good pastries and some breakfast and lunch options as well. They have limited seating so it's mostly a grab and go place. The guys behind the counter are pretty nice/accommodating as long as it's not too busy. I ordered a quiche looking thing and it was pretty good, the cinnamon roll was okay but a little on the dry side for my taste. Prices are pretty standard for a bakery (not cheap, but not crazy expensive either). read more

I've been eating egg salad croissant almost every day for weeks. I think I have a bit of a problem. You gotta catch it before they are out of croissants, but they are the best ones I've had including award winning bakery's across the country. read more

Eat here. Awesome people, great food, and perfect coffee. Sugar Bakery is a mecca in a weird corner of Starbucks, McDonalds, and other chain fast fooderies. read more

They are one of the few places that can make a decent sandwich on Pill Hill, and even though I get a little embarrassed when I order it, the Italian Stallion totally rocks. The sweets are good, I like the Economic Crunch cookies that have a little bit of everything covered in lots of big crystal sugar. read more

TEN STARS for HEART! I placed my order from Olympia, requesting delivery of a box of cookies to a 12 year old boy in Harborview Hospital. The order was assembled within the hour, but GrubHub disappointed greatly, resulting in a non-delivery. Unbelievably, Sean, a bakery manager, offered to personally walk the delivery over after he got off work. He added a lot of delicious goodies to the order, and delivered it all face to face. When do you EVER see this type of service? Thank you so much, Sugar Bakery and Café! You are a class act!! read more

Nice place but certainly not a $ coffee shop. I would give It at least $$. My medium drip coffee and scone cost $8 to give you an idea. Aside from the price, the coffee was great. The scone was good as well. Overall, not a very serious breakfast though. I would not recommend having breakfast here before an arduous day. read more

I walked up a large hill twice to get a piece of their black and white cake and was not disappointed.

This place was recommended to me by the concierge at the renaissance hotel. He I guess eats here pretty regularly. Anyways I ordered a black forest cake with butter cream frosting from here. I got the small one. It was perfect to celebrate my date and travel companions 31st birthday. The cake was delish. We nibbled on it for over 4 days. At the end there was very little left. Such a treat. Also sweet that I prepaid and the concierge brought it to the hotel. Great combination. Thanks everyone. read more

Food, pastry, staff, and coffee were all good. Flavors and construction were perfect. The ambiance is slightly stale and cold and when we ate in our food was warmed but not to hot so it cooled quickly. Otherwise nice. read more

Thank you to Stephanie and her staff for helping make our event such a huge success! They were so easy to work with and their product is beyond delicious!!! We had branded cookies made with our client's logo on it - the attendees LOVED them! And when I went to pick up the cookies, I ordered a croissant. Closed my eyes and pretended I was in Paris - there was a little bit of bakery heaven in my mouth. Absolute scrumptiousness! read more

The chocolate fudge cake is really chocolaty and I loved the thick fudgy frosting. Overall we enjoyed the cake and the piece was huge. I'd have given it 5 stars but I liked my cake a bit more moist. I'm sure most people would think the cake was fine... I'm just fussy. read more

Sugar ROCKS! This place is cute yet classy and oh la la their chocolate Brioche is amazing. Last time I visited Seattle I lucked out when I discovered this little gem. The folks as Sugar take their trade seriously with love and attention to detail in every bite. The cheesecake squares were so light yet rich and dreamy and the Chai I had to wash it down was not too sweet and not to spicy-just the way I like it. Good service, super cute bakery and especially the little pink boxes filled with oh-so-good mouthwatering tasty treats makes it easy to give them 5 stars. I live in Portland but even with the amazing food scene here I have not been able to find a bakery that compares to Sugar. Just thinking about scrumptious chocolate brioche makes me think a three hour drive might not be so far after all... read more

I've tried a couple of their tasty cookies. My favorite is the chocolate chip which has a nice homemade brown sugar flavor to it. I only wished they were open longer on the weekends! read more

Amazing pastries, both sweet and savory! This is a great place to stop for breakfast or indulge in an afternoon snack. I love to try their seasonal pastries so I get something different every time, and their salted caramel croissant and apple caramel croissant are standouts! They also serve great coffee too and have cake slices for half price on Saturdays! I only wish they were open longer hours on the weekends, but they're now open on Sundays!!! read more

Haven't been in quite awhile since I was given the outer piece of a loaf that had been sitting there all day. It was like cardboard & inedible even after heating @ home. He could have given me the next piece in but was not an accommodating type. This morning I was dealt with by a persnickety, withholding girl who cut me a skimpidy piece of polenta loaf @ a diagonal so that it was particularly SMALL. My choices were expensive & that doesn't make sense. Her restrictive attitude has made sure that I will NEVER go there AGAIN. She did, however, address the girl behind me as tho she were a legitimate member of the same (age) club. I am left with a VERY bad feeling after my mistake visit. The 1Star rating is arbitrary. They deserve -0 & no business. read more

Fresh, soft lemon crunch cookie was just what we were hoping for after our pizza dinner up the street. Nice selection of pastries with many flavor and texture options for your sweet tooth! read more

Let's be honest: if you're on First Hill this is five stars. It's the best on First Hill. Sure there might be more Gourmet Downtown and stronger coffee on cap Hill but this is four stars in its own right and definitely the place to be if you're in the Madison area. Sweets are great. Baked right there. Hooray. read more

Cupcakes are the best in Seattle (vs. Cupcake Royale, PCC). Cake is moist and not too sweet. Icing is creamy and not overpoweringly sugary.

Great little spot. LOVE the lavender shortbread. Salted caramel croissant is fabulous too. They also make wonderful coffee and hot chocolate, try it with a homemade peppermint marshmallow, yum! read more

Croissants of all sizes, shapes, and flavors! Some you must try: apple, salted caramel, chocolate, and - of course - traditional. A dozen pastries can be purchased for about $37 and come in a lovely pink box. read more

Lovely and delicious baked items. I bought my birthday cake here. Perfectly moderately sweet. I love that they use the best ingredients.

Coffee, coffee everywhere but not a drop to drink (other than Mucho-bucks!) Sugar bakery and café has everything from tartlets to cupcakes to shortbread all being created and served by owner Stephanie and crew. Stephanie and co were extremely helpful and not robotic in the "would you like fries with that" sense often found at non-independent spots. They offer assorted coffee drinks that would give Mucho-Bucks a serious run for their money and all at competitive prices. Even their good ol' regular brew is fantastic. I recommend popping in, saying hello and enjoying the scrumptious treats they have to offer. Stephanie and the crew are all hard working, highly knowledgeable, community minded superstars who treat you like a person - Who doesn't respect that! read more

I buy the cupcakes for my wife. I liked the red velvet here because it has a chocolate filling.

In town for a convention. Great start to every morning. Scones, molasses cookie, croissants, all exceptional. Nice Americano. Great bakery. read more
