Dad Bod and The James
Will H.

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!

Ordered through DoorDash (so maybe the issue was with them- although these look almost intentionally poorly packaged) So sad to have these arrive looking like this and unable to serve for thanksgiving

I feel like we have a habit of forgetting places like this exist until it's someone's birthday but when one of those occasions comes around you're extra excited cause you get to get cupcakes that taste like paradise.

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.

still a winner! if you live in atx, this should be your go-to bakery. they are reasonably priced, but not at the cost of flavor. each dessert item is decadent and rich. i am definitely a sugar mama's super fan! try any and EVERYTHING!! you honestly can't go wrong bonne appétit

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.

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!

Custom cake

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.

Love love love this place!!! Just bought a cake from there for a birthday and its amazing I was completely blown away. I got the red velvet flavor ( I can't remember the exact name) and we all enjoyed it very much!!

Graduation cookies!
Anais B.

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!

Lemon Bar
Michelle V.

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!

Cupcakes and cakes
Kristin A.

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!

Madee L.

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.

Ask the Community - Sugar Mama's Bakeshop

Any sugar free items?

No I asked. There was a sign for sugar free cookies but they don't make them anymore. They also said that they come up as sugar free on google because of their name and the deal where you get a free cupcake if you buy a dozen. It's worth the sugar… 

Any gluten free desserts?

Yes! They always have at least one vegan and gluten free option.

Note that the parking garage is free for 2 hours. The desserts themselves are usually quite good. Did not really care for the mango pancake and mango crisps (new menu item) though. The mango pancake is a mango layer about a half cm thick with about an inch of cream wrapped in a mango crepe. The crisps were an interesting powdery nougat with mango bits and a caramel like drizzle. When bit into, the nougat is cool and a bit creamy. The mango pudding was quite good with a very mango taste and a little bit of mango in the pudding itself. All the signature items (have pink crowns on the menu) are quite good from the multiple times I've come by.

I also took a risk on a nest shaped pastry filled with lemon filling, and I think it was my favorite of them all! They have tables where you can eat your treats there, and wash your hands afterwards, which is important because there's almost no way to do it without getting sticky fingers. I ate two pieces there, and saved two more for the evening, which was a lot for one day, but it was sure a treat!

Their patio area was FILTHY: tables with dirt and crumbs, napkins on the floor, grime. It was just gross. Then, in the very small space inside where you order, somebody brought in a massive slobbering dog (NOT a service dog) and the staff were completely blasé about it. So not so much into health codes here apparently. We each ordered a taiyaki, and also got 3 macarons and 2 donuts. The ube macaron had great flavor but was completely stale, so it sucks that they are serving old food. The vanilla-passionfruit and yuzu were much better (and fresher). As for the chocolate donut, we liked the flavor but we're not the biggest fans of mochi because something the texture makes it feel like you're eating something raw. Same issue with the pumpkin donut. We do have to say that the taiyakis were awesome. We had recently tried SomiSomi and these ones were definitely better. The "fish" has a great balance of chew and crisp, and we loved the consistency of the soft serve. One of us got the pumpkin and it had such a pleasant light flavor to it that wasn't cloying or artificial. So good. One of us had to get ube and black sesame in a cup because you couldn't swirl them and both flavors were delicious, as was the unique red bean paste (which we fell for when we were in Japan this past summer). If not for the sanitary conditions and semi-catatonic workers, this would be four stars. We can see ourselves coming back again at some point, and hopefully they can train their staff to clean up, smile, and not let customers bring filthy animals into a confined space. Three stars for now.

What looked like a traditional milk toast dessert, was literally four pieces of stale bread, toasted and stacked on top of each other. that tasted freezer burnt with lots of sauce on top. No topping between each layer so it was not flavorful or tasty and all you could taste was a weird chemical flavor from the bread. Same thing with the ice cream, so freezer burnt that it tasted of chemicals, cardboard, and didn't even melt despite sitting on the plate for 15+ minutes. The Taro tea itself was fine with the crème brûlée topping, but the brown sugar Boba had the same chemical "going bad" flavor to it. It was super hard and bitter tasting instead of sweet.
