Sugar! Sugar! Anyone need a sugar fix?? Sugar is a new gem added to the OTR jewelry box... they offer sweet treats and desserts to give you that sugar high! We ordered a peanut butter brownie and let Me tell you. It was Delicious!!! Gooey brownie filled with peanut butter chips topped with a peanut butter buttercream, I could eat that by the spoonful right out of the bowel..and then they topped that sucker with a peanut butter cup... it doesn't get more decadent then that... all I have to say to that is noms... you better go get you one or pick one of the sugary concoctions in their display case.. sugar has a little bit of everything in there. All of them look delicious unique and perfect To top all that off sugar is keen on the covid safety. They are a small shop so having customers come in would be too restricting, so they serve through a window right on the street... you can see the display case through the window.. their staff boxes up your treats, delivers right through the window where you can easily pay... I call that a win win win.... safety for everyone... additionally as it warms up you will be able to pick up some sugar... walk about a block and half to Washington park and enjoy while sitting in the beautiful sunshine mmmmmm mmmmm....I call that a pro tip! Make sure you treat yourself... pick up some Sugar! read more

First time visiting Sugar and had a lovely experience! I love that it is a walk-up window in OTR - there was a small line when I arrived, but the weather was great so I did not mind the wait at all! I also enjoyed looking in the window while waiting and all the delicious cookies, cookie pies and cupcakes! When it was my time to order the woman working was super friendly. We also opted to get a red velvet chocolate chip cookie because they just looked so delicious and a cinnamon role (thanks Yelp!) We immediately ate our cookie and WOW - so rich and tasty! I cannot wait to come back and visit and try more off their delicious menu! read more

I stumbled upon Sugar by accident. My husband and I had just left from my facial on Walnut, and we walked over to Vine then to Race St. On the way, we walked right past Sugar. I love sweets so I told my husband to wait and we backed up. I said "oh this is something new", so we decided to go in. I'm glad we did. We were greeted by friendly, smiling faces who were eager to help. I assumed two of the three people were the owners. The lady working the counter told us the flavors and answered any questions we had. Yes, they have signs out but we had a question about one of the cupcake flavors. We ordered two cookies and two cupcakes. The cookies we ordered were the Oatmeal Raisin and the Oreo Chocolate Chip. Immediately, I appreciated that they gave us a combination that is different but familiar - Oreo Chocolate Chip. It's all about uniqueness. I like when I can come to a location and they give something different than what everyone else offers. Yes, just by adding Oreos gives a different profile. It's a simple move but smart. Both cookies were really good. They were the right portion, not to small and not to big. They were soft and chewy on the inside and had a slight crisp on the edges. Yum! I also liked how the Oatmeal Raisin cookie wasn't dry. Sometimes homemade Oatmeal Raisin Cookies can be dry. The cupcakes we ordered were the Strawberry Lemonade and the Red Velvet. I have to start by saying their cupcakes were very moist and their frosting was the perfect creaminess and consistency. I also give it to them because their Strawberry Lemonade Cupcake was the best Strawberry Lemonade cupcake I have tasted. They aced this flavor as far as flavor profile. The cupcake had a subtle strawberry flavor and the lemon frosting was perfect. You tasted just enough lemon without it being overpowering or to tart. It was the perfect balance of sweet and tart, so kiddos for that! The Red Velvet was actually pretty decent as well. The taste was good and the cream cheese frosting was a plus. My only complaint is their cupcakes are $3.25 each (before tax), and for this price I'd like to have seen them a tad bigger. An almost $4 cupcake at regular size is a little steep. I also have to say while they were pretty good, Abby Girl Sweets is still my favorite cupcakery in Cincinnati. Also, Abby Girl Sweets is slightly cheaper and has a slightly better cupcake. Sugar isn't far behind Abby Girl, but Sugar's cupcakes are not better than Abby Girl in my opinion. Overall, it was nice to see a new dessert shop pop up and I plan to come back. Considering they are right off of Vine and I frequent Vine often, I will return for more sweets and to try different flavors. read more

I am super picky about frosting and Sugar *gets it.* The cupcakes here are super fresh - no crusty icing or plasticy-tasting sugar decorations. I also really appreciate that they are asking customers to wear masks even ordering from the outside window. This really feels like one of the only safe places in OTR/Downtown to pick up a treat with my unvaccinated child. read more

These cookies are soo delicious! They are massive and super fresh! I know exactly where to go to get my sweet tooth fix when I'm in Cincinnati! I will they were located in Kentucky! read more

Andrea has the MOST PERFECT chocolate chip cookie ever! Crunchy at outer edges, soft in middle but still baked-not just goo like so many others I've tried. The lemon blueberry is a close second favorite. I haven't been able to try the white macadamia or the oreo cookies I bought yet because I keep eating the chocolate chip one!! read more

I was so excited to try this spot but It did not meet my expectations. The cookies are mediocre tasting at best. They taste less like cookies and more like the flavor of toppings, like the chocolate chip really just taste like hunks of chocolate. And the birthday cake was not flavorful just tasted like icing. I wouldn't buy again. read more

Sugar is my equivalent of heaven. Homemade sweets with fun flavors in large, shareable sizes. It's a black owned business with the nicest owners and employees, so I'm proud to spend my paycheck there! Pro tip: don't follow their IG unless you want to drool on your phone with every post. PS: Sugar if you are reading this... please add additional hours!!! read more

I live in OTR. About 75% of the time we go here m, Sugar is either closed for no apparent reason or closed early. I surely hope someone with a better business sense opens a similar storefront in Over-The Rhine! read more

These were the best cookies and cakes I have had is a LONG TIME. The flavors for to die for and the way they are baked....melting in your mouth good! If you haven't tried Sugar yet, YOU ARE MISSING OUT! read more

We ordered from Sugar for our office in OTR and when I tell you the response employees gave from the treats!! Everyone was so impressed with how delicious they were and how timely the delivery was. We will definitely be ordering from Sugar again! read more

I've been looking for the perfect cake all my life: light but rich; sweet but balanced; the right amount of frosting but also the right amount of great tasting (buttercream) frosting. And after two Sugar experiences, and decades of cake, I've found it here in Cincinnati! The Celebration size Birthday cake was the ideal way to commemorate my birthday and it was FULL of rainbow sprinkles. Dead on perfect cake. I don't know what else to say. Except Sugar has more than just cakes--cinnamon rolls, cookies, some sort of peanut butter and chocolate skillet cookie. All delicious. All worth enjoying. And currently you have to get it delivered! Cakes and pastries and baked goods delivered at your door! There's no real reason not try this place immediately. And do so regularly. I know I will! read more

BEST COOKIES EVER. The cookies are huge. They are soft but crispy on the edges and not doughy. The plain sugar cookie is actually one of my favorites. It's just a great buttery sweet cookie. The breakfast cookie is really good too although I didn't really taste the espresso. The cookie sandwiches that are stuffed with frosting are also great. The frosting has a nice strong vanilla flavor. The cookie sandwich is really huge considering it uses two of the normal sized cookies. Definitely can eat on that for a couple days. I've always just stopped by when their pickup window is open. It's been open pretty late on the weekends. read more

Ordering from Sugar is such a pleasant experience. Very easy to order and you have the option for delivery ( for a little bit of an extra cost) or you can pick up on Saturday's at their OTR location. Ordering online is super easy and their descriptions and photos are spot on! I love their unique take on bakery style cookies! These cookies are delicious. My favorite was the lotus bomb cookie I could seriously eat one a day they are just so delicious. The cookies are nice and soft on the inside and have a nice crisp on the putter part! They even give a recommendation of how to heat up the cookie to get the gooey taste of right out of the oven. Overall these cookies are heavenly and everyone should try them!! read more

My wife acquiesced to having Sugar deliver to us on Friday and boy were we happy we did. It is quite possible that the Reeses brownie and the s'mores cookie may be the most delicious and decadent desserts on the planet. Luscious. Rich. We put the s'mores cookie in the microwave for just 10 seconds and knocked it into another galaxy. OMG! Thank you, Sugar! Off to go eat nothing but lettuce to offset those bites of AWESOME! read more

The sweet potato pie tasted like pure sugar, and nothing else. However, it did look pretty.

I had some delicious cakes and cookies delivered to my home as a birthday gift from someone who had heard about this place and lives in Los Angeles! That's an impressive impact. read more

I recently went to Sugar and ordered a few of their cookies to share with a friend. They were amazing! I liked the cookies the first time I tried them a year ago, but I'm updating my rating to 5 stars because they simply are just that good. A little on the pricey end, but they're a little larger than normal gourmet cookies I've found elsewhere, so it probably evens out. Check them out! The store currently has a walk up window (side note, their cinnamon rolls are also amazing, but they don't have them all the time, so call ahead). read more

I really love how this business goes above and beyond continuously! Every time I make a visit it's the same person working there & you can tell they put a lot of effort into their craft. I love the cookies from this place, and you really can't go wrong with any choice. I am a big fan of the sugar cookies! read more

I've been to Sugar once at their store and had these sweets delivered over the weekend as they are currently doing delivery only during COVID-19. When I went to the store, both sales associates (one I believe to be the owner) were very welcoming. I ordered two cupcakes which were very tasty. This time, I had a 5:00pm delivery and the individual dropped it to my door at 5:00 exactly and called me to let me know they dropped it off at the door, so it was contactless. My boyfriend and I shared the birthday cake yesterday as it was huge. The cookie was so moist and tasty. It was baked exactly how I prefer my cookies to be baked and we'll be ordering more cookies very soon. The banana pudding was exceptional and quite possibly the best banana pudding I've had. The mint chocolate cake in a cake is very rich and sweet, with a great mint flavoring. read more

Delicious treats!!! I had the oatmeal cookie with icing in the middle and it was like an oatmeal cookie on steroids! It was so good definitely worth the try ! read more

We first stumbled in on a night out, which happened to be Sugar's grand opening. We were greeted with friendly staff, as well as the owner. My wife said this was the best chocolate chip cookie she's ever had - and she is a chocolate chip cookie expert. This place should be your #1 stop if you have a sweet tooth in OTR any time of day. Will definitely pick up from here for my next event where I'm asked to bring a dessert read more

Probably the most I've paid for cookies but not the best, still good. But not good enough I would not go out of my way for them.

Delicious! Had the carrot cake and the Reese's cookie. Both were amazing. Can't wait to try the rest of the items here. Highly recommend.

I tried their cinnamon roll. It was not too sweet, and very fresh. Pleasant and creamy. Would have loved to have been able to walk in and get a coffee, or tea or something to drink. (Had to go to Holtmans to get my coffee!) When taking my order they cracked the window about one inch so was difficult to shout through a pain of glass. I kind of felt like covid and the sun glare on the window kept the customer service element of connection out of the equation. I was hoping for a bigger experience, especially having just paid $8.00 to park just to walk up to a window for service. I would say work on that aspect because the food is legit. I'll be back for sure but next time plan to spend some quality time in OTR. Always happy to support local business. read more

I didn't have time to take photos, as I was busy eating all.the.cookies! Sooooo good! They do have limited stock it seems if you stop by to order, so order ahead if you have certain flavors that you want. We got the chocolate chip sammie, brookie, and s'mores! Chocolate chip sammie was so good! The s'mores was tasty too! Definitely work a trip downtown, although finding a parking spot on a Saturday evening was a challenge! read more

Wow! I had the "It's Ya Birthday" cookie and it was SO good. Even an hour before close, the cookie was so moist and fresh and the buttercream was just like a homemade cake. Yum! The girl taking our order was also very helpful and friendly. read more

I came here for the Yelp Elite perk and I was really happy with the stuff we got!! I was initially a bit confused about the set up - it is a window that you walk up to instead of going inside the establishment. This made it a bit hard to see what they had and see the names and the products that they had. We got two of the sugar cookies with icing and one of the cinnamon rolls and they were all very well-loved in my house! I'm always a sucker for cookies with icing and this was definitely more elevated than something you would get at the big chain cookie establishments. The icing tasted like a cream cheese icing and it was very thick and the perfect in-between of a soft cookie but still cooked through. It was a little bit difficult for me to find personally, but this may have just been because I was using Apple Maps. I would definitely go back if I'm in the area! read more

Sugar is a small bakery that recently opened in OTR. Most may not know about it because it's on a side street (14th) but luckily I saw promotions for their opening on social media and also was told their cupcakes were really good! I visited a few days ago and knew I was going to love it because the cookies I saw were huge and the cupcakes looked so fun! I am a huge cookie fan and there's definitely lived up to my expectations. I chose the graham cracker cookie (it might have been called something else) and chocolate chip and both were equally delicious. For cupcakes, I went a little crazy and ordered the strawberry lemonade, Twinkie, birthday cake, and strawberry birthday cake and absolutely lovedddd them! My favorite was the strawberry lemonade. It was probably one of the best cupcakes I've had. They're so moist and pretty much fall apart while you're eating them- in a good way :) I cant wait to go back and get more! read more
