Amanda M.

I arrived late but there was still a bunch of items to choose from on a Monday afternoon. Service was quick and friendly and the shop smelled great. There's no seating inside but they have a cute little patio with lots of plants outside. I ordered the blackberry sage, peanut butter and chocolate and vanilla cupcake. The cupcakes were nice and light with not too much buttercream on top. The blackberry sage was my favorite with fresh blackberry jam in the middle. I didn't taste the sage but it was still delicious. I really want to try their cookies and banana pudding too!

Chocolate cupcake

Cute little bakery downtown. Go early for the best selection of cupcakes etc. Service was very polite and she filled me in on their other flavors they normally have if you're there early. Only downside imo is that the only seating is outside in direct sun (at least at 3:30) and it's pretty toasty. But great place to grab and go some sweet treats!

Cupcakes, pecan chewy
Rod G.

This is a delightful little bake shop nestled in a Charleston neighborhood with friendly customer service. All of the displayed treats are visually appealing and the shop smells wonderful! We ordered the vanilla blueberry, red velvet, and almond cupcakes, plus the pecan chewy and a couple of cookies. Everything looked so amazing that it was difficult to make a choice! The frosting on the cupcakes is absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, we found the cake portion to be a bit dry or stale. The cookies (oatmeal and chocolate chip) are moist and tasty, but might benefit from just a little salt. Aside from a little lack of freshness with the cupcakes, I have no doubt this is an excellent bakery and would recommend giving them a try if you're ever in the area.

Love this bake shop! Everything was homemade and fresh! They also had vegan options which is a plus!

Double Chocolate
Rachel H.

Stopped by to visit on a Saturday afternoon at 3 pm and unfortunately most of the cupcakes were already sold out. But, I did get to try a double chocolate cookie ($3.45), that was the size of my face, and it was amazing. The batch just came out of the oven and was still warm. The cookie was perfectly sweet, and very rich and chewy. The interior is cute but very small. There's no real seating inside but they had a couple benches right outside the store. Next time, I would definitely recommend coming here earlier in the day.

Delicious cupcakes!!! We tried the gluten free and the lemon curd. Both were good, but the lemon curd was out of this world!

I wanted to love Sugar a lot more than I did. Ultimately the products were good, just not great for my family. They are local and have been in Charleston the past four years. They have a cult following. I came on a weekday and scored free off street parking nearby. The neighborhood may be transitioning as there is a lot of room for redevelopment. It's a beautiful tree lined avenue. The shop is adorable from the outside and a side patio to enjoy the treats was very nice. The area was clean and inviting and a trash can was handy. Inside the store its very compact. So only 3-4 customers at a time. They offer more than just cupcakes too! The staff was friendly and helpful choosing a cupcake from maybe six varieties. They looked average to me. With Easter approaching they put jelly beans on top which was creative The cakes are pricey and the size average to small. We decided on a half dozen and got a variety and wasted no time trying them. The three of us were underwhelmed with our selections, but we each liked, just did not love. Make no mistake they were fresh, the flavors just did not hit on our picks. My first selection of mocha was ok, second of coconut was delicious! So check them out and you can decide on the hype and other strong reviews. For me a 3.5 rounding up fits them best.

Ginger Molasses

Oh my oh my oh my....I want to go back here time and time and time again to taste everything in the store... But, we were on a mission. My daughter is getting married in April and we are doing everything with local and small businesses. Besides the traditional cake, she'd like to serve big chewy cookies. We had a list of bakeries, and this was our first stop. We purchased a chocolate chip, ginger molasses, double chocolate, and oatmeal raisin. Opening and tasting in the car we knew we found the cookie she desired. Truly heavenly delicious, and our search ended. I drooled over the cupcake choices and will go back...for one of everything, (this could be dangerous).

Absolutely adorable! This place has been on my Charleston bucket list for a few years now, and I finally was able to stop by. It is very quaint and doesn't offer a ton of seating, but it does offer SO many different delicious options! I tried the vanilla blueberry cupcake, funfetti cupcake, and a peanut butter cookie sandwich. All three were incredible, and my total was around $12, which I thought was fair. Service was exceptional and their menu is extensive. I would definitely recommend getting a box of sweets as a valentines day or birthday present for someone. I will definitely be returning!

Lemon Raspberry (Feb-Sep)
Jillian G.

Love these cupcakes! If you're looking to indulge in some sugar, this bake shop is perfect. Each cupcake is well designed with a generous amount of frosting and sometimes berries on top. Some even have a delightful splash of custard in the middle!

Amazing cupcakes! Staff were so friendly. Good gluten free options. Couldn't even tell they were gluten free. Cupcakes were perfect and not overly sweet!

Junavy F.

Aesthetically pleasing cupcakes (and other goodies) in a charming spot in Charleston! These cupcakes are almost too pretty to eat! There is a decent amount of street parking available and a cute little outdoor courtyard with limited seating. You can also find seasonal flavors throughout the year!

Sadly, my cupcake & cake in a cup was dry and underwhelming. :( Lime sugar cookie did have a great chewy texture.

My FAVORITE part of receiving these cupcakes is that the icing was applied AFTER I bought the cupcake. She completely avoided the issue of hardened, older icing which happens not long after baking (you know what I'm talking about if you make sweets). I was able to take my cupcake home, refrigerate it, and eat it later in the day, and everything still tasted fresh because she assembled it as it was ordered. It tasted AMAZING even hours later & I will definitely be back for another!!

Upon arrival, I approached the green in color food trailer and made contact with a male and female duo. I initially thought that it would be an easy choice. I was very wrong. I ended up going with a Death by Chocolate. A few seconds later, after putting the finishing touches in the confectionary delight, I was presented with my cupcake. It was a solid cupcake. Not dry by any means, but not overly moist. It was topped with ample icing, but not so much as to require the Wolford Brimley be seanced back to provide me supplies. I strongly suggest additional investigation. Photo of trailer attached. End of Report.

I was looking for a place near the event to do a neighborhood tie in and they made me 7 dozen mini cupcakes. I sent an inquiry and we worked out the details over email. I initially was going to get a few dozen regular sized cupcakes, but Christen suggested the mini's for bite sized snacking in a mingling... setting which was perfect. We set a pickup time and I went to grab them just before my event. Christen had them ready and greeted me at the door. She actually does all the baking off site at a commercial kitchen and then offers pickup from her beautiful home downtown. I love this old school way of doing business and it adds a personal touch. Now for the cakes! Everyone was raving about them and asking where they came from... even people who said they don't even like chocolate cake (weirdos if you ask me). I lucked out because my guests had restraint and didn't devour every last mini cupcake so I took home about a dozen of them and enjoyed all of them with zero judgement from the party goers. I can't wait to try a whole cake from this place... it's gonna be amazing.
