This is a grab and go place, no seating. The deserts are MASSIVE!! We got the chocolate chip bomb cookie and walnut brownie. Both were amazing and we loved each bite of it. The lady at the counter was so sweet and funny. I know for sure I will go back again and try some of the other deserts. read more

While getting ice cream basically at the corner/around the block I ran over here to get some delicious cookies to enjoy at a later time. They were delicious! Service was great and line moved pretty fast. You just order from a window so no real ambiance to speak of. read more

Incredible. Stopped by about an hour before close and they still had a decent amount of sweets left. I got the chocolate chip cookie bomb, 2 brookies, and the pecan chocolate chip cookie. The prices are absolutely worth it as you get a large cookie in return. Each one tasted delicious and fresh, with the right amount of soft and baked through. I didn't get a picture before we ate them all! Probably the best cookies I've ever had. Super quick service as well as it's a takeout window. We will be back in the future :) read more

We stopped at Sugar after having dinner in Over The Rhine. The walk up window was wonderful. You can grab a sweet treat and continue to stroll. You could see perfectly what they offered through the window and service was quick. Among other items you could get a ice cream sandwich made with Jeni's ice cream.You could tell it is a popular dessert spot based on the line. We ordered an oatmeal crème pie and M&M cookie. The cookies were enormous. One cookie was enough for two people. If you want to stroll around with a sweet treat this is the place for you. read more

OMG!!! If you like cookies (and who doesn't) JUST go!!! They have something for everyone!!! I ordered online in just a few minutes and they had my cookies neatly packaged when I had arranged to pick them up. The staff there were friendly and greeted us with a smile, and the cookies WERE LOVELY and DELICIOUS!!!! read more

Cannot say enough good things about this place! The perfect stop for those who need something sweet after a meal in OTR. We have had the Brookie before and it was amazing, but there are so many interesting options! This time around, we got the Oatmeal Cookie Pie, and it surprised us with how amazing it was. It was the perfect amount of sweet with not being overpowering. read more

If you want a quick on the go dessert after your dinner in OTR. This little hole-in-the-wall (Literally it's a window on a building) is absolutely perfect a little sweet treat for us whenever we go out in OTR. This time around we got a oatmeal cookie pie and it was amazing, not too sweet and perfect ratio of cream and cookie. we got one to share with 2 people and it was more than enough! A regular cookie is $3 a premium i think is $7 but they're huge and so soft! read more

We got there right as they unlocked the door and the employee working was very nice and welcoming! You order at a little walkup window and you can see the cookies and other baked goods through the window. We got the chocolate chip bomb cookie and it is honestly one of the best cookies I've ever had in my life and my boyfriend agrees with that sentiment. Great location near a lot of restaurants if you want a little sweet treat after you're done eating. read more

Best kept secret in the OTR. An alley with fantastic takeout deserts hat included cookies and banana pudding to die for,

I stopped at Sugar with some friends on Friday afternoon and was very satisfied! I had never heard of this spot and was amazed by their selection of desserts. I got the walnut brownie and honestly, that was one of the best brownies I've ever had! The portions were huge, which I enjoyed because it meant my brownie gave me three portions. Overall, the place was super cute and I would 100% go back to try any of their other desserts! read more

This little walk up window is the perfect place to stop for a quick sweet treat. They serve Jenni's ice cream and all sorts of baked goods. My wife and I grabbed a couple cookies for our first time there and they did not disappoint. These cookies are what Dirty Dough advertises but don't actually deliver on. The brookie was a chocolate chip cookie with a full brownie stuffed inside and it was delicious. read more

Gourmet cookies! What an experience...I tried the chocolate chip cookies for my 1st visit and they did not disappoint. The cookies are a nice size and very moist. There were other flavors as well they looked delicious. I would definitely suggest this spot for great desserts if you are ever in the area. read more

A walk up window full of treats? Say less. Love this convenient stop in the heart of OTR with extended hours! If you're not an ice cream fan, dessert options are limited in this area. Sugar has swooped in and solved a problem for those of us who love to carb up on sugary half pound cookies, brownies, cookie sandwiches and more! The half pound chocolate chip cookie was exciting to purchase but too overwhelming... way too much chocolate chips. BUT the walnut brownie and oatmeal sandwich cookie makes up for it! Would absolutely grab a brownie from Sugar anytime! read more

After months of eyeing their treats via Instagram, I finally stopped by Sugar on a trip back home to Cincinnati. It was SO hard to choose from their case of goodies, but we finally decided on the iced brownie and the Reese's chocolate chip cookie. Y'all, I will dream about this brownie for months. Thinking about it makes me emotional. It was a physical, mental, and spiritual experience. The cookie was unbelievably good, too. Bonus: the woman who helped us was super kind and welcoming (even if they're just a walk-up window for now). I will be making Sugar a mandatory stop on all trips home from now on. read more

Best desserts in the area hands down. Their storefront recently just opened back up after offering delivery service only during the pandemic. While they aren't "walk-in" at the moment, they recently just installed a walk up window to offer the most protection between you and staff! There's a lot of construction going on in OTR right now, but I was still able to find nearby parking! They have lots of specialty cookies as well as cupcakes, slices of cakes, and other goodies! Their menu is ever changing snd love seeing what Drea comes up with! Everything I've ever tried here has been amazing, my personal favorite is the cinnamon roll! Way better than a popular favorite down the street...haha. Seriously don't sleep on this place. GO RIGHT NOW! read more

What an amazing cookie they sell here. The Big Az Reese's cookie - just wow. I came to pick up a cinnamon roll (also yum), and grabbed a cookie as well... It's about the size of my head, over an inch tall, and filled with yummy gooey Reese's chips! Easily sharable for 6 people (if you dare to share.) I never really go down that side side street off main but I'm glad I know where to find this great spot the next time I want something sweet! It's a walk-up window, minimal wait, and the staff is great. Would return read more

Amazing! The service was exceptional. I would recommend Sugar to everyone and will return soon

Look no further for some of the best sweet treats on Cincinnati! Sugar made me a towering Neapolitan cake for my PhD graduation party that all the guests raved over. Anytime I'm in OTR on the weekend I stop by for inventive cookies that make you say "I need that!" My favorites are any version of their s'mores cookie and the chocolate biscoff. read more

Okay so I know we're not supposed to be leaving reviews based off of getting food for free through Yelp events. So that's why I'm not basing this review on their FANTASTIC, GIGANTIC, cream-cheese frosted, sweet and spicy, cinnamon rolls. I'm giving Sugar 5 stars for their red velvet cupcake, and their friendly staff. Both of which made my experience at the pick up window a great visit. Even though their entire menu looks like it'd be well worth a shot, I chose the red velvet because it's my partner's favorite. She's a harsh cupcake critique, breaking down the finer points of many a baked good. And in this scenario, she had nothing negative to say. The frosting was creamy and rich, the cake sweet and moist, and the serving large. It was everything a cupcake should be. Even though the window stayed busy, the staff kept smiling and serving up the treats one after another. read more

I really enjoyed the baked good from Sugar! The cinnamon roll was delicious, it tastes better warmed up in the oven or microwave! The cookies were amazing, a nice balance of soft and sweet. The brownie was super rich, could only eat a part of it, but still delicious. I loved the creamy peanut butter cream on top. The birthday cake cookie was amazing! Big fan of this place. They currently have a walk-up window open only on Fridays and Saturday. Can't wait to come back and try everything else. Love this gem in OTR. read more

This is a cute little bakery window in Otr that will help get your sweet tooth satisfied or you can pickup a beautiful cake to celebrate any occasion. I had never even heard of the place so when the Yelp elite squad offered an opportunity to try one of their amazing cinnamon rolls I did not hesitate. And they do not disappoint. It's almost as big as your face and is DElicious at room temperature, and even better warmed up slightly. My daughter wanted to try the red velvet cupcake, and they are as pretty as they are yummy. I definitely recommend you stop by, grab a sweet, and spread the word. Or, call ahead and get a beautifully decorated cake to order. read more

The Cinnamon Roll is fantastic! It's super gooey, rich and delicious. It's also huge. So huge I couldn't finish it and I still have half left for tomorrow. The Classic Chocolate Chip cookie and the Oatmeal Raisin cookies are yummy and also huge. The walk up window is awesome and the workers friendly. I'd stop in again if in the area. read more

Walking past this window and seeing all the wonderful sweets it was impossible not to stop. They had so many delicious looking options in the case but we opted for a Chocolate chip cookie sandwich with cream and more chocolate chips. It was absolutely amazing! We were tempted to go back the 2nd night and get another one it was so good. Would absolutely recommend and will be stopping by the next time we are in the area. read more

We had Sugar provide the desserts for our office Holiday Party and the praise was overwhelming. The cookies, brownies, and sammies were HUGE hits and people were fighting to take them home to their families. We'll be sure to have them at every gathering going forward. We got the "Junior Size" options, which were PLENTY big individuals. With 25 people, we ordered 5 dozen (36 cookies, 12 sammies, and 12 brownies) and got through less than half, probably. read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place! I first discovered their delicious goods when I tried their food truck at Cincy Soul. Their pound cake was just dense enough while still having butter caked at the bottom the way I like it. However I didn't try their cookies, maybe because I was too full I don't know. Anyway fast forward, it's a quarantine and all throughout my social feed I just keep seeing these incredible creations by Sugar. Nutella stuffed cookies, s'more's cookies, brookies and the list goes on. As soon as they opened their menu for ordering I was in and I'm not disappointed though my waistline may be. The treats are worth all the calories involved! I recently subscribed to the Sugar Junkie Box which is a monthly subscription that allows you to try exclusive treats and snacks. I can't wait to receive the next one but the first was absolutely incredible with a nice variety of offerings for the price of $60. Highly recommend the chocolate chip cookie as one of the best I've ever tasted and the oatmeal cookie sandwich. Red Velvet Nutella is also a really unique and creative twist of lots of flavors. read more

Accidentally found this place last night while in OTR. I'm almost sorry I found it. These cookies are absolutely scrumptious. A close second to my favorite cookie place in town. I love that they have so many flavors available. They also had two brownie flavors available. Looking through the glass, my mouth was almost watering. I asked the sweet young lady to tell me her favorite cookie and she giggled and basically said they are all so good she doesn't have a favorite. After eating the cookies, I absolutely believe her. The red velvet was omg good & the chocolate chip was definitely a hitter. I could taste the freshness and the real ingredients used (like real butter etc). Sugar knocks it out of the park and I've already been telling everyone that I know. read more

I cannot even. I just finished a red velvet Oreo stuffed cookie, and it was SO GOOD. If you love sugar, get to this place! I love sugar, and I wanted to try everything in their case. I held back and only ordered four cookies, though. Ha. I'm sure the other three will be delicious. They make gourmet treats, not stuff you can just whip up at home. It's obvious they know what they're doing and have mastered the skill of crafting sugary treats! The ladies were super nice and the place was super clean. It was easy to place an order and be on my way to enjoy. I will definitely be back again! Updated to add: I came back and ordered five more different treats. Don't worry, they were each as amazing as the other. These ladies are killing it!! read more

This place is so good it really is a sin. We try to limit ourselves to one visit a month . We always take out of town family and friends and now they are hooked. I've also shipped cookies to friends. Everything is good. Our favorites are the strawberry lemonade cake and oatmeal cream pie sandwich. They have some fun flavor combinations I haven't seen. Something for every sweet tooth. One of the best bakeries in the city. Since Covid they only have a walk up window, but easy to see what they have for the day. The menu changes so I suggest following them on social media to see the weekly lineup. I also appreciate the later weekend hours. A spot for a treat after dinner downtown. read more

I loved the consistency of their cookies that they had up for sale. The large middle portion was soft and chewy, while the outside made up a harder, crunchier ring. I decided on the XL Chocolate Chip. It was $12, but it lasted a few days. My husband went for the Reese's Chocolate Chip, and he was a big fan of it as well. Their cinnamon roll was also a nice addition to their selection. I was disappointed once I finally finished my cookie - I only wish I had grabbed another! read more

Sugar - XL Chocolate Chip Cookie - Bakeries Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Not completely understanding this business. I tied to order a birthday cake - but it seems they have no availability for weeks. So, I decided to just get the cake in a jar. They are only open on Friday and Saturday, lucky the birthday was on Friday. I showed up 2 hours after they opened and evidently they haven't had cake in a jar for weeks. I got to select from 4 types of cupcakes, pound cake, or several types of ornate cookies. I guess I just don't get it. How do they stay in business opening 2 days a week and not having much in stock? I ended up with some Cupcakes which were good. I'd love to see what this place can really do if they opened their hours and their offering. read more

I've never not had something I've loved from Sugar their cookies are delicious and it's even nice to be able to pick up some Jeni's ice cream if the mood suits. My new favorite after getting some local delivery to our office is the S'mores Cake! read more

Let me start out by saying that I had ordered for delivery back in quarantine because I had been dying to try everything they have on the menu. Then I unexpectedly had to go out of town on my delivery date, and I asked if instead of refunding me, if they would just add some extras to other peoples orders, and they were so awesome and said yes. I finally made it to their walk up window. So safe and clean, and yet still such a fun experience. I have had my heart set on the birthday cookie for a long time, and it did not disappoint. It's been awhile since I have had a good sugar rush. Parking is tough, I would grab a spot on the street or a lot wherever you can find it, but I promise it's worth it. read more

Walking through OTR I found this spot and my while looking though the windows I could t resist. I almost walked away because I didn't have a mask and they are mask required, but she opened the windows and handed me a mask which I thought was great service. The person working was very friendly and welcoming, she explained the pricing and all. I ordered two cookies; the chocolate pecan and the birthday cake. Both were extremely tasty, I personally couldn't eat the cookie in one sitting cause it was big and sweet. But defiantly worth it. read more

I've been wanted to try this place out for awhile now. I follow them on Instagram and see all the the pictures of cookies and cakes that are posted. they are open for walk up service on the weekend and finally stopped by and ordered the chocolate chip and sugar cookies. the cookies were bigger than than expected and the price was great for what you get. I have been to other bakeries in the area and some cookies are $4 dollars for one small cookie. the cookies here are $3 dollars and they are almost the size of 3 regular cookies!! not to mention they are super delicious and go great with a tall glass of milk. today I had a craving for sweets and ordered cookies and a strawberry lemonade cupcakes. perfect combination to start the weekend. the cupcake was moist and delicious and had a great combination of flavor! definitely one for the books. definitely will be coming back again. read more

Please stop reading this review and order cookies from Sugar NOW! What a great way to sweeten up my quarantine. Sugar has an awesome, reliable, and affordable delivery service. I found myself drooling over their pictures on the #YelpCincy Instagram and immediately ordered them the next day. Please support this local business. Their cookies are absolutely delicious and are a great way to sweeten up your weekly takeout routines. Their Instagram provides all of the information as to when their treats will be available and when you can order them for same day or next day delivery. It was so hard to narrow down which cookies I wanted. They all sounded so delicious on the site. I'm not sure how I cut myself off at only four. I ordered them by 10am and had them by 3-4pm in the same day. Perfect timing for an evening dessert! I highly recommend this wonderful business and theses delicious sweet treats read more

Sugar - Red velvet smores, birthday cake, oreo, which chocolate macadamia nut - Bakeries Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Delicious! Such a wide variety of treats! Cookies, brownies, cupcakes, cakes, jars, etc. They are like the Taco Bell of sweet stuff-using the same 20 ingredients to give your heart all the happiness it can handle. We tried a myriad of treats and each one was excellent. The strawberry lemonade cupcake is full of flavor and fluffy. The cake is light and an excellent strawberry flavor. The lemon buttercream is very delicate and not sickly sweet. I don't know how they did it, but the fruity pebble cookie has a vanilla buttercream on top that legit takes like milk. I liked this cookie, but a little goes a long way-it is super sweet. The Reese Cup Brownie is crazy decadent. Ganache, peanut butter buttercream, and a full Reese Cup top my new best friend. My personal favorite was the Nutella filled Chocolate Chip cookie. They even give you microwave instructions to reach optimum ooey gooey consistency. This was a must have. So many wonderful items. I docked them a star not for the products-those are superb-but for their rather confusing website. I want you to try their stuff, so here are some tips to make your online experience positive: Right now, they are open Fridays and Saturdays noon-9pm. If you want to be sure to get specific items, you can place orders for pickup or delivery starting at noon the Wednesday before. Or, you can gamble and show up at the shop and peek through the window to see what they have. Whether or not you want it delivered or available for pickup, you will place your online order under the "dessert delivered" tab. There is an option to pickup. To decide what you want: 1. Go to shop 2. Ignore the dessert delivered option at first, and instead go through all of the products. Write down your favorites...no seriously, write them down. Once you go into the online ordering, there is no drop down menu, you will have to write in what you want. 3. I highly recommend using a laptop or PC to look at the website and order. I did this on my phone and it was...aggravating. 4. BE AWARE: The online portal gives you an option to choose your pickup time, including ASAP. ASAP doesn't give you any further details or updates. Currently, they are only open Fridays and Saturdays, 12-9pm. The website lists deliveries starting at 2pm. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ORDER PICK UP. So, even though they open at noon, if you are picking something up, wait until 2pm or later. I discovered this the hard way. Which was, again, aggravating. While I wish the site was more user friendly, please don't let that keep you from getting some tasty treats! Also worth mentioning: 14th Street, as well as several areas of OTR, is under a great deal of construction. If you have a getaway driver available and are super quick about it, you can pause and pick up. Otherwise, find parking a few blocks away and work off the thousands of calories you will absolutely consume from this shop. read more

Thanks to a Yelp event I was able to try one of Sugar's cinnamon rolls for free and it was so good!! While I was there I also purchased cupcakes and cookies and I cannot quit raving about how good the icing is. My family divided up all the sweets so everyone could try a little of everything. My personal favorite cupcake was the red velvet but the carrot cake was also a big hit with my sisters. I am still eating on the jumbo cookie sandwich two days later, it was that big! And I really liked the flavor and how soft the Cinnamon Toast Crunch cookie was. Sugar is absolutely amazing!! read more

So today was gorgeous and perfect to participate in the Elite Perk with Sugar. I purchased a chocolate chip cookie and strawberry lemonade cupcake. The cinnamon roll was part of the perk. I starting eating the cooking in the car. A perfect chocolate chip, softer inside but crispy outside. I hate when the chips are too much for the cookie dough, I like to taste the dough too. The Recees Chocolate chip was sold out, I imagine it to be even better. The cinnamon roll was too die for. Beautiful cinnamon in the rolls, the icing taste like it has cream cheese in it to me. Soft and rich! I did not taste my cupcake yet but I am certain it will get good. This is definitely a place I will visit over and over. Take a bow Sugar..... read more
