Coconut
Stephanie K.

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!!!

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.

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!!

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!

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!

Three Austin Inspired Cookies

We needed a local bakeshop to add into our goodie bags at work - sugar mama's did not disappoint! They were super quick and had the cookies ready for us to pick up within 48 hours!!

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!

Carrot Cake and Brownie
Eric F.

Found this gem on yelp.. Carrot Cupcake is absolutely delicious. Full of rich flavors and freshness you cannot escape. I definitely recommend you stopping by for a palate explosion.. Bon Appetite

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… Read more

Any gluten free desserts?

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

Pro tip: choose two different cookies so you can try more than one flavor, and always get your sandwich warmed up. It takes it to a whole new level. Such a unique and delicious stop in Austin.

I mean you can see for yourself that the ice cream sandwich looks 10 out of 10 fire. I did the custom ice cream sandwich with vanilla ice cream two different cookies- one was the gooey butter cake (overpowering after a few bites) did not finish & the other was like a oreo & cookie mix (much better) and did finish. Vanilla ice cream was decent, but nothing special. I might get it again if I was in the area and really had a sweet tooth, but I would definitely go for some different flavors because they just didn't hit the same this time.

Highly highly recommend a visit, especially given how late they are open at night and night time soft serve is the best!

I was craving Ube and might have gone a bit overboard on ordering dessert because they had so many Ube options. The building is colorful and decorated in bright pink with fun artwork and decor for an uplifting vibe. The line moved quickly and the service was friendly fast and efficient. I was able to place my order and pay with Apple Pay. I ordered the Taiyaki Sundae with black sesame and ube swirl soft serve served in a fish shaped mochi Belgian style waffle with Oreo dust on top. You can customize your sundae with filling like organic red sweet beans, Nutella or custard and toppings like Oreo dust, fruity pebbles or rainbow sprinkles. I ate this on site and the nutty black sesame balanced the sweet ube perfectly, and the Oreo topping added the best crunch. They had a variety of mochi donut flavors. Lucky for me, nothing was sold out today. I ordered the Oreo ube mochi donut and ube milk tea to-go. I ate the mochi donut later that day and it was probably my least favorite item from my order. It had the chewy mochi texture however I didn't get enough of the rich ube flavor. It had somewhat of a bitter aftertaste and the Oreo overpowered the ube. I drank the ube milk tea the next day and it was creamy, smooth, and not overly sweet. I really enjoyed the flavor profile of the beverage and would order it again. Overall, enjoyed my selections and will be back to try more dessert options and flavors from one of the most unique Asian dessert spots in Austin!

Gordough's is one of those places that fully commits to indulgence. I was able to place my order online and schedule for pick up. The order was ready when I arrived. Parking was a bit challenging and the lot was full and they charge for parking. Service was quick, casual, just good energy and fast turnaround. I ordered my tried and true Miss Shortcake with their famous cake donut with cream cheese icing and fresh cut strawberries. The donut is so indulgent and was served warm with the most delectable flavor combinations. Tried the Son of a Peach with cream cheese icing, spiced peach filling, cake mix topping, cinnamon and sugar with honey butter. This one was a bit too overindulgent and sweet for my liking but was definitely worth a try. Portions are huge and can be shared as the donut is not as good warmed over. If you're in the mood for dessert and not think about calorie count, then this is the place.

Even so, the ambience seems like the decorations were cute, but very cheap and damaged overtime with little to no repairs. But I didn't come here for aesthetics. I came here for great Boba tea and sweet treats. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. 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. The soufflé pancakes were fine, but the ice cream was terrible on that too. It's hard to mess up Ice Cream, but somehow they managed.

I believe this may be a smaller Uncle Tetsu and might not have every item but they have most things. They had samples available and for my first visit, I was able to get a good impression of select items! I had the opportunity to sample a piece of their cheesecake biscotti and matcha cheesecake. I asked for a recommendation as a first time and was told I have to try the original to start. Service seemed friendly but felt a little rushed for me to hurry up. Cheesecake Biscotti - from my small slice, I was impressed. It's an airy cookie that's baked to a crispy finish. The exterior is crispy but the inside is fluffy, it's a fun texture that simply feels remarkable. Plus the overall cheesecake flavor is a delightful sweetness. Matcha Cheesecake - I was impressed with the softness. The small sample was so light yet ready to fall from the toothpick at any moment. It was just so delicate. Matcha was present though it's hard to say how strong from a quick sample so I'll reserve on that. Original Cheesecake - now for the real experience, it's no exaggeration to say that this quite literally melts in your mouth. It's almost like the cake simply dissolves, leaving a cheesecake flavor behind. Super fluffy, light, and airy, the cheesecake is delicate and when you eat it, your taste buds light up as if a spotlight is emphasizing the presentation. Fantastic end to any meal as well, especially because it's not heavy at all.
