Sugar Bakeshop

Cute shop decorated beautifully, friendly staff and delicious baked good (cupcakes and cookies) — very small though only outdoor seating. Charleston hidden gem!

The Italian wedding cake is to die for!!! I order every year for Christmas, Easter, and my birthday!!! So, so yummy.

The lemon curd cupcakes are the best, most moist cupcakes I have ever had. The flavor is so bright and the frosting is always simple but beautiful.

Hands down the best cupcake I’ve ever had: caramel with pecans on top.

My favorite bakery in town! They offer a variety of cupcakes, cookies and tartelettes. The cupcakes are are delicious with just the right amount of icing. I had an apricot filled almond cupcake. Wow! In addition, they have homemade dog treats, and the dogs love them! I highly recommend this bakery-​prices are reasonable, and you will not be disappointed!
I enjoyed sugar cookies that were made for a Unilocal event yesterday, and they were delicious too!

Amazing cupcakes! I got chocolate with buttercream icing & shredded coconut on top and it was hands down the best cupcake I’ve ever eaten. Just the right amount of sweet. The icing is perfect, the cupcakes are just moist enough but not too airy. Definitely will go back. Just beware– parking sucks! Do not park in the lot next door– it belongs to the YMCA and they were very rude when I drove in the lot even just to turn around. Park on the street.

You know all of those great places you see on food network with shows like cupcake wars and bake offs… well this isn’t one of them.
For starters a dozen is 12 correct so if you get a bakers dozen it is 13. This place will not let you buy 12 you buy 11 and get the 12^th free. Nice how bakeries still want to sound great and friendly but that makes a bakers dozen into a regular dozen. The world of fresh baked ain’t what it used to be.
At $ 33 a dozen this is a bit steep. The cupcakes are regular sized. There is nothing done here that I couldn’t get done with a box of Duncan hines.
They only sale vanilla and chocolate cake. No fancy flavors that you would expect to see in a city like charleston. Even columbia and greenville cupcake shops do more than flavor the icing. Plus even then sugar doesn’t always flavor it. I paid $ 3.71 for a cupcake with vanilla frosting and 3 blueberries on top. Called vanilla blueberry. Not even blueberry flavored icing. The icing isn’t piped which is a poor showing if you ask me for a small bakery. Looks like it is spread with a butter knife. I can make homemade butter cream and do it myself. Cake wasn’t even very moist or super tasty. Maybe full sized cakes are better.
That all being said I didn’t try any cookies and maybe those are good. I don’t suggest anyone go here if they are looking variety. Unless you don’t own an oven can’t work one or just don’t want to, you’re better off making your own at home and it will save you money.

We get Sugar Bakeshop goods for 90% of office birthdays, so I can safely say I’ve tried a huge sampling of their offering. It’s all good! My least favorite are the cupcakes (only because I’m not big on cupcakes) and even those are good.
When I’ve been on the ordering side of a custom cake, they provide excellent customer service and a delicious product. Everything is very fresh.
Inside is incredibly cute and tantalizing — the smells alone are worth a stop in.

As I approached the door to Sugar two young girls were walking away and I heard the following exchange, «was that not just the cutest f**cking place you’ve ever seen?!?» «Yeah, totally.»
And while the youthful exuberance added humor to my day, the ladies were also not wrong. My family and I tried several flavors of cupcakes, all delicious. (And I usually dislike cupcakes for all the overrated fanfare.) Since it was my birthday weekend, I also indulged with a ginger molasses cookie… which was probably the best f**king cookie I’ve ever eaten. (Sorry, mom.)
And beyond all that, the atmosphere and employees were ‘totes adorbs’ and as sweet as their baked goods.

Came here on a friend’s recommendation. I’d heard nothing but rave reviews about the cakes and cupcakes. I tried a few of the different cupcakes for myself, but I’m not quite sure what the hype is all about. Don’t get me wrong– the cupcakes were good, but they really didn’t taste any different from the cupcakes I’ve made before at home.

All that is cute and sweet.
It’s quite possible I would have enjoyed my experience with Sugar Bakeshop without even stepping foot in the door. The exterior is that cute. The font of the logo, overgrown ivy, side courtyard, large tree-​covered canopy… ah! How can you not love this place?
It gets better. They use real chunks of ginger in their ginger molasses cookies. This makes a ridiculous amount of difference in flavor. If only I could have a dozen of those beauties shipped to my little slice of heaven in Indy.
Another reason to love Sugar? They offer mini cupcakes. This is perfect for those of us who want to try everything without blowing the buttons off our pants. I highly recommend the caramel iced cupcake. It tasted as if they melted a whole homemade caramel right on top of that mini cake.
Food experiences like this leave you smiling for weeks. Can’t wait for my next excuse to visit Charleston… and Sugar, of course.

Nothing special…
The lime sugar cookie had no lime taste in it. The cupcakes were typical of any bakery. Pecan bar was just okay. I definitely would not recommend going out of your way… I would rather go to the Bakehouse Charleston…

A friend of mine heard that I’d never been to Sugar before and insisted we make a B-​line straight for it after lunch at D’Als. It’s a tiny little space jam packed with baked goodness. We grabbed some cookies and posted up in the courtyard for a treat. The courtyard is a gorgeous little oasis with a few seats. The chocolate chip and ginger cookies are seriously no joke. Life changing. This is definitely now on my list!

Not a cupcake chic. Strictly cookie, and a day of celebration will be in order the day I can bake cookies like they do at Sugar. The ginger molasses is phenomenal. I admit, I have driven all the way from Mount Pleasant numerous times with Sugar’s ginger m. cookies on the mind. The atmosphere is small and cozy with their baked goods nicely displayed, surrounded by soft pleasing décor and colors.
Can’t speak as highly of their customer service though. Its not bad, its just pretty nonexistent. I think today was the first time I had an actual exchange with the someone behind the counter that included more than «how may i help you.» Nice guy who mentioned the chocolate bars they are now selling. When you walk in this place, or at least when I walk in, no one looks up for more than a second from what they are doing, and just the person behind the register will either say «hi» or «what can I get for you.»
Its a good day if you hear both.
I’ve been to Sugar many times over the past 2.5 years and this has always been the case. I have even taken kids in here, and no one interacted with them. Kids are goo goo over cookies! I mean, a smile or something would have been nice. This wouldn’t be a big deal, or probably even noticeable If this place was not so small. Your within feet of everyone in the place as soon as you walk in. I think I have interacted with the customers in wait more than the people behind the counter. The least people within eyeshot could do is look up and smile. Just sayin.

Everything here is to die for! My personal favorites are the lemon and lime curd cupcakes– yum!
