Delicious cupcakes - soft and just the right amount of sweet! I tried their carrot cupcake, and it was so good, especially when paired with a smoked maple latte from Sightseer Coffee next door. Decor at Sugar Mamas is fun, quirky and very pink! No tables or seating available - definitely more of a grab and go experience. read more

Sugar Mama's Bakeshop is an eclectic, small bake shop on S. First Street. It is a convergence of Mexican tissue paper flowers, an inside Beyonce mural and other miscellaneous wall art. Bright colors are vibrantly displayed throughout the bake shop. The shop sells cakes, cupcakes, pastries and cookies. All the goods sold were prominently displayed and equally eye-catching. I bought gluten free everything and double chocolate cookies. Interestingly, the gluten free cookie tasted like any other everything cookie with unique textures and flavoring. Both types of cookies were delightful to eat. Alex, my server, was very friendly with a great sense of humor and shared some history regarding the bake shop including a second location that has since closed. read more

Desserts have become my specialty, and this gem is serving some of the very best. It's one thing to look pretty (and they DO), but I recently happened upon a most magical cupcake that has raised the bar. Imagine this (then order a dozen): delicate coconut scented cake with lemon curd filling and a rich (not heavy) cream cheese icing - sweet, slightly tart, and curiously tropical in the most subtle way. It's like eating a piece of fine art by Hunt Slonem. Go get you some!!! read more

Yall! These right here are hands down delectable and dangerous! I was greeted with a warm welcome and he happily helped me out getting my cupcakes together and even gave me a suggestion for a first time cupcake. The James and Dad Bod were the 2! Returning again for sure! Thank you for a sweet evening! read more

Sugar Mama's Bake Shop is the kind of place that reminds you why local bakeries matter. From the moment you walk in, it has this groovy, welcoming vibe that feels like a treat in itself. We ordered a Jurassic Park-themed cake for my son's 7th birthday, and they absolutely crushed it. The detail, the design, and the creativity went above and beyond. But it wasn't just about looks--when we cut into it, the cake tasted just as good as it looked. Moist, flavorful, and clearly made with care. What really stood out is how they made the whole experience feel magical for my son. That kind of personal touch is hard to find, and Sugar Mama's delivers it effortlessly. It's no wonder they've won awards. Between the vibe, the service, and the quality, this is a bakery that knows how to do it right. read more

This order was from a few years ago and I really wish I still have a photo but I had ordered a custom cake for a little "fan project" for a group I like. They were able to accommodate to the allergies of the band and make a custom design for the front. Ever since then they've had my business locally! They did an amazing job and recommend them any time I can. read more

We wanted cupcakes so I used Yelp to find this wonderful shop! We were there on a Saturday at 4:30 PM and there were lots of choices available. We took them to go and enjoy them over the next few days. All of the cupcakes were moist and tasty. The champion carrot cake was my favorite. read more

The absolute best. Friendly service. Cute little shop! And the best cupcakes. I am currently enjoying the disco lemonade and I am so sad it's only sold in July. Please make this a staple! I picked these up for a coworkers birthday and the majority of my office had never had Sugar Mama's before. I created a monster because now everyone wants a dozen for their birthdays, too. Great success! I couldn't get a photo of all the cupcakes before people started to take from it! read more

Not from Austin and ordered a cake for my daughters birthday. When it was opened to serve as you can see Birthday was spelled wrong. I called the shop and was told by the employee that answered "we all human, mistakes happen". I emailed the shop with no reply, left messages for the shop owner/manager....no response. Very expensive cake to have Birthday misspelled. read more

Thank you! I ordered cookies to celebrate my masters graduation, and I ordered custom made cookies from Sugar Mama's. They were delicious! An aesthetic cookie with just the right amount of sweetness, and not plastered with mounds of icing. If you are looking for custom designed cookies for a special event, highly recommend Sugar Mama's! read more

Sugar Mama's Bakeshop is simply fantastic! I place my orders from Houston for my sister-in-law in Austin, so have never been there, but my SIL LOVES the pastries I've sent her! The customer service is practically perfect in every way (not unlike Mary Poppins!) - the folks I've spoken with when I placed my orders were kind and lovely and totally professional. I can't wait to order from them time and time again! read more

This place is adorable! The service was incredible - the guy at the front was super friendly and helpful! We got a lemon bar and a salted caramel cheesecake (both to die for) the cheesecake though was INSANE!! We also got a dog treat for our chihuahua and he LOVED it - he is usually picky with dog treats lol right next door is a cute coffee shop too! read more

Hopped off the plane and the first place my friend took me to was this bakery. Just like a lot of place in Austin, it's cute and quaint looking from the outside. Once inside, I was amazed at how much they had in both decor and baked goods. It is indeed tiny but so well decorated, it didn't feel crammed. I got some peanut butter cookies and my friend got a couple cupcakes. I didn't taste them until much later and then was disappointed I didn't just buy all the cookies they had remaining. I see why my friend likes this place but since I'm not a cake/cupcake person, I would have loved to see more cookies. Otherwise, it was delicious! read more

Cute little shop, with good cupcakes. Lots of unique flavors, and gluten free options too which was nice!

Extremely disappointed with our experience here. My mom ordered a red velvet cake and when she got to the shop to pick it up, the lady was adamant that this orange cake was the only one that was red velvet flavored, even though it looked nothing like the cake design we ordered. The lady "helping" claimed to "check" three times that this was the red velvet one and wasn't friendly at all. When we cut into the cake today, the flavor was completely different!! This was strawberry filled, NOT red velvet like she had insisted it was. We also ordered cupcakes and they had completely run out of the flavors we wanted. This was at 4:00PM and they close at 7:00PM so ended up canceling that order. Will not be returning. read more

I asked for a heart shaped confetti white birthday cake for my sister and sugar mamas exceeded my expectation!! It was delicious, beautiful as seen in the picture, and huge!

Came here towards the end of their day, so the options were limited. However, what I tried was really good. I can only imagine what the popular sold out items must taste like! Funfetti Triple Berry Cupcake: Looks like those birthday cupcakes kids that would bring to school, but so much more artisanal than the box mixes. Fluffy cake. Creamy vanilla frosting. Lots of rainbow sprinkles. But best of all, a generous reservoir of berry jam hidden underneath the frosting going deep into the cake. The partially tart berries were so good against the sweet frosting. Apple Sopapilla Cupcake: The cupcake isn't fried here, though really appreciated all the spices in this one. Felt like such an autumnal treat. The hidden pool of apple pie filling underneath the frost was great. read more

Came here for a cake but left with a pie. Pumpkin pie was good and not to sweet or overly seasoned as some can get. The shop is small and offers many baked goods and custom cakes. I wish to try more but I had to leave the state. read more

Came out to their Yelp elite event, and just wanted to rate how great their cupcakes were ofc but also how awesome it was that they were from a woman owned, black owned business!

I submitted an order for a custom cake 2 weeks out and received a follow-up message right away with some questions and an invoice. Perfect. After that they completely ghosted me. I tried calling and emailing repeatedly for a week and a half to confirm some things with my order, and no one would respond. I swear the one time they actually picked up the phone they just hung up. They did make sure to keep sending me auto-reminder emails about paying my invoice though, which was a nice touch. Everything at Sugar Mama's looks great! I just wish I could have tried it. Went with a different local bakery that actually responded and couldn't be happier. read more

Great cake texture. Great frosting texture. Such fun flavors. I love them! I recently popped in to get some cupcakes for my brothers birthday because I knew he would love them too! read more

Life is like a box of cupcakes; you never know what you're going to get. This much is true at Sugar Mama's, where you can rest assured you'll get at least one vegan option for immediate gratification, sometimes two or three, in any number of possible flavor combinations. My personal favorites tend to involve cookies, such as the Cookie Monster or Cookies and Cream, but don't be afraid to take a gamble with whatever is in store. If all else fails, their vegan cookies themselves are always excellent. You'll have many more choices if you place a special order, naturally. read more

Decided to stop here because because of all the foot traffic going in n out Such a cute little bakery They had a sign showing they were on cake wars (tht was kinda cool!) But if u have a sweet tooth this is the place The cakes looked amazing I was surprised to see reviews for poor customer service Because the lady I had was pretty kind (There was one not as kind but she was enforcing their mask policy to another customary which is understandable since there is a sign on the door but there was another customer without one but glad they still have the policy) -But customer service sweet -Location parking on the sides of the building Only had two vegan options n unfortunately for me they only had one of the two - cakes looked fun - read more

That cheesecake was amazing - it could be matched against any New York City cheesecake and hold its own. And at $6 a slice, it was a good size too. They had a couple of gluten-free options for a cupcake and a cookie, so we'll have to try more on the next visit. But hands down, best cheesecake in Austin! One more note: they sell gluten-free batter for pancakes etc. read more

Update May 2024 - they've done it again and I couldn't be more pleased with the result. A friend had a Vag Rejuvenation surgery and I asked them to make V cupcakes. They're the most adorable tasty cupcakes ever and the patient was soooo happy to see them she teared up. Thanks to the amazing cake makers and decorators at SM!!! read more

Truly a "sweet" place to be! My partner and I were craving some cupcakes and headed over here! Parked behind the bakery and headed inside we were greeted so warmly by the lady running the shop. She explained the difference between the cupcakes and the favorites! I chose a regular chocolate cupcake. It was really rich and tbh not overwhelmingly sweet. It started to downpour randomly out of nowhere and the kind lady let us exit through the back door. This is definitely one of my favorite places to grab a cupcake in Austin! read more

Sugar Mama's was on my list the last time I came to Austin. Happy I got to stop by. First, they have the best art. The Tupac painting in front is amazing!!! Private parking lot. Friendly service. Good variety of cupcakes. Carrot Cake Cupcake - $3.85 Funnel Cake Cupcake - $3.85 Good home baked style cupcakes. Not overly sweet. I wanted a peanut butter flavored one but they did not have anything with that. read more

I love when my bf gets me this cake! For valentines and special little holidays. It was gorgeous when it arrived!! Such a treat. However, I will say, there is far too much white filler icing which leaves hardly enough cake to eat. I attached a photo. I'd love if the inside only had thin layers of the white icing... it's just so heavy and too much icing like this. Otherwise, yummy cakes! My fave is the strawberry :) read more

I can't say how much I love this place, and their cupcakes! The staff was super easy to work with, and really helped us pick the right amount of cakes for our wedding event. We decided to go with 2 smaller cakes, and a variety of cupcakes. They were even nice enough to customize some of their seasonal flavors to meet our needs. I honestly, wouldn't have changed anything Sugar Mama's Bakeshop did for us, just the most pleasant experience. And lots of compliments about the cake (even from the non-dessert peeps!). I would recommend them for any of your future events! read more

Sweet, sugar mama-- the desserts are THE bomb! The macarons are super rich (in the best way possible) and the pecan pie square was delicious.

I'd definitely recommend stopping by when visiting #ATX! read more
