I've been to SACRE SUC in their previous location. It was definitely a more intimate location. Regretfully, I can't recall if the original place had seating. It was more like a galley space. Fast-forward to their new location, where they have re-located to a HUGE new space in Fells Point, practically on the water. A fantastic perk of their new space has TWO entrances, ONE on Fell St and the other one on S. Wolfe Street. Love that... and super convenient. Double entrances will definitely help control foot traffic, especially during breakfast/ lunch hours, I'd imagine. Considering the size of the space and if it gets as busy as the space is set up for, having to ways to access the space on opposite sides of the building is absolute genius. There's plentiful seating; Great light; High ceiling ; Seating is intimate, but not obnoxiously so. The space allows for intimate exchanges of conversation. The pumped in music is set at a level where you can hear it but it's not intrusive at all. Taking into consideration, the size of the space and that amazing ceiling, acoustics can be tricky. They found the perfect balance controlling the noise level. *well played*. This would be an AMAZING PLACE to host a party! Just sayin... This is just a great space. I love everything about it.
There's even an upstairs. Currently, the upstairs is designated for classes only, I believe. There's a class where one can learn how to make macarons from scratch... taught by the owner. That sounds pretty cool and fun to check out. That would definitely be a fun date experience, I'd think.
Upon entering, the staff was very affable and ready to answer any & all questions. There's a wide selection of offerings available: kombucha, teas, coffee, and the piece de resistance... the macarons. SACRE SUC's macaron bar was plentiful (as u will see in the pics).
I had the pleasure of trying the strawberry macarons. This macaron was perfect. It was light, airy, pillowy, delicate and the flavor profile was such a pleasant surprise. It exploded and melted on the palate. PERFECTION!!! TRIPLE WORD SCORE!!! Gimme more, more, more!!
Additionally, I tried a 'Japanese Coffee', which I've never heard of before. Traditional Japanese coffee is filter coffee. Tasters note that paper filters give black coffee a sweetly creamy and herbaceous flavor. I'm not a coffee drinker but I was curious... after adding the appropriate amount of cream, milk and sugar, this became the best iced coffee I've had in a long time. SCORE!!!
SACRE SUC is a wonderful addition to the Fells Point waterfront area. I will definitely be back when I want to just chill, have some macarons and enjoy the easy vibe SS offerings.
**PLEASE NOTE: The new location is a bit secluded (off the beaten path), but oooooh so worth it. I hope they get the foot traffic this shop/ cafe deserves. I'll be back!!
