Sugar Bakery & Cafe

Imperial coffee selection! Pastries and cookies are nothing to sleep! Joyful experience- frosted sugar, lemon crunch, and pecan pie cookie! Serve is stoic slightly pleasant. The space is inviting and makes you want to stay longer than you should.

This is one of my favorite place to get coffee and cake in town. If you haven’t, then please do try their Chocolate and Carrot cake. They are pretty delicious. I have been going to this bakery since last 3 years but since last month I felt like they have reduced their serving size. Maybe it is because of inflation but when I’m craving for something sweet, the last thing I want is to have a smaller slice of cake than usual. Not something I would like to pay $7.5 for but because of its taste it is totally worth it. Please don’t reduce the serving size!!

I went with this bakery because of their two day turn around time for cakes, but now that I’ve tried one myself, I can see why the turn around time is so quick. The inside of the cake was very dry and falling apart. Several layers had been over cooked and were burnt. The frosting did not taste like traditional buttercream, more like plain butter with very little flavor. My niece asked me why the frosting was made with so much butter… she’s 9. Not to mention the staff were not very kind when we picked up the cake. I am all about supporting small business, but when you treat your customers unprofessionally and then give them a product of such low quality for the high price they paid, you would have to be delusional to think they will return. Do better. For others looking for a good cake in Seattle, try Morfeys Cakes.

We ordered six 10” cakes for our wedding reception, and they were absolutely incredible. Pink champagne, confetti birthday, chocolate fudge, chocolate and vanilla, creme brûlée cake, and cheesecake. The delivery was very affordable and punctual. The cake flavors and decoration were everything I ever wanted. Guests raved. I ate so much cake on our honeymoon. Thank you so much to the team at Sugar Cafe and Bakery for making my dreams come true!

Fantastic pastry and coffee shop. Housemade cardamom syrup for coffee is delicious. Highly recommend the bacon/egg/cheese/roasted red pepper breakfast sandwich and bruleed/salted croissant. Friendly and efficient staff. Busy place on weekday morning.

I used them to get a custom photo-printed cake for a birthday! Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish! They worked with me to make sure we got a photo that would work well on the cake. The pickup experience was seamless. The actual photo came out looking stunning, it was a massive hit at our celebration and added a really unique touch! The chocolate cake was one of the best I've had - delicious, creamy and rich! Totally recommend them to add a special touch to your occasion!

really enjoyed nearly everything at sugar bakery & cafe. the croissant was light and flaky and the jam scone was super tasty! the bacon breakfast sandwich was a bit odd to me. the bacon seemed rubbery and the baked egg square just didn’t taste very good. so i guess you chalk it up to win some and lose some. coffee was decent as well.

regularly get the creme brulee and red velvet slices, they are amazing. drip coffee was average or slightly below even. sandwiches are great. service is decent, not a lot of room to sit though, especially for parties of more than 2. there are a lot of plants and almost all of them are for sale.

Good place, very basic. Nothing special, nothing bad. Just average. I ordered the chocolate chip cookie which was soft, room temp, and overall a standard chocolate chip cookie. The chai tea latte is bland.

I probably just ate the best croissant I've had, and I've tried many! Perfectly crispy shell and soft interior. We also loved the lavender shortbread and jam scone. The coffee was awesome too, wish I lived close by.

this is my new regular spot to order from for lunch. I've tried their turkey and havarti sandwich, butter croissant, turkey and swiss croissant, and their lattes. i was genuinely blown away by how yummy it was the first time i got it. the turkey and havarti sandwich is so, so delicious. i wasn't expecting it be warm but omg it's amazing. it's actual nice pieces of turkey breast, perfectly cooked at that! it's not lunch meat and the meat isn't dry at all. plus the combo between the dijon mustard, cranberry sauce, and spinach is yummmm. i think it'd be even better with brie instead of havarti, but it's amazing as is!! their butter croissant has genuinely ruined any other croissant for me, which is both wonderful and inconvenient lol. perfectly buttery, flaky, soft, nice bite of crunch. it's the croissant you didn't know you've been looking for your whole life.

It's really close to all the hospitals. Might be a good spot if you're at the hospitals but as for the food, it's not good. The service was nice, I asked for my croissant to be warmed up and they did. The Vietnamese iced coffee didn't really seem to be Vietnamese to me (both of us are Vietnamese). The iced vanilla latte was fine but it didn't really taste like a vanilla latte. Both of the croissants were hard, and felt old, and just were not flaky and buttery. The chocolate we felt tasted odd. Wouldn't want to go back. Vietnamese Iced Coffee - 4/10 Iced Vanilla Latte - 4.5/10 Chocolate Croissant - 3/10 Turkey Swiss croissant - 5/10

This place is not easy to get to nor is finding parking. I happened to luck out on this last visit. My go to here is the Salted Caramel Croissant, which is a must get. If you happen to get one consider yourself lucky that they did not sell out. I also like the savory Turkey & Swiss croissant. There's a nice, satisfying crunch when you bite into their croissants. I also picked up a 6 pk of the Eco Crunch Cookies, which is a shortbread cookie filled with almonds, toffee, chocolate chip, coconut and rolled in sugar. This lives ups to their name! I do get a little jittery afterwards from the sugar crystals, but it's so good.

Love going to this place and their other location in Lower Queen Ann! The Lemon Crunch is my favorite! Cute shop and they sale some plants sometime. Definitely recommend to sign up to get points at each visit.

We come over here often for a quick coffee and or sweet treat! Cute quaint little bakery with a wide variety of sweet treats and sandwiches. They even have vegan options. So glad there's a place like this in this location. The service is great and the people are really kind. They have homemade cakes as well for around $40 I believe.

This cafe is such a great place to start my mornings! They have a great red velvet cake, cinnamon brioche, and lattes!

Cute, busy coffee café was wonderful! Great quiche, breakfast sandwich and coffee. Service was exceptional - t-shirts are available! Plants at the window provide oxygen . Watch croissants being created! (The almond ones TDF!) Perfect morning stop.

This place was amazing. Just simply a perfect bakery. Great, cozy atmosphere, with a wrap around display exhibiting all of their confections. The space felt large and inviting and the staff were very nice and pleasant as well. And then there was the cake. My goodness, I am not exaggerating when I say this is one of the best red velvet cakes I've ever had. The cake was moist and literally melted in my mouth. The chocolate frosting in the middle added an extra depth of flavor to the perfectly crafted cream cheese frosting which was sweetened to perfection. I devoured the piece so quickly and I wished I had grabbed another on my way out... Or maybe just bought a whole cake! When I come back to Seattle, I will definitely coming back for another few slices!

So good - ate here two days in a row for our team! Absolutely amazing. The food is great right away and three hours later. Hard to find something that everyone loves!!!!

They have good drinks, beautiful seating and amazing CS. The location is easy to miss though. The workers are super sweet and nice.

Wow, this place is YUM. Fresh daily bakery with great coffee. I recommend the cortado! And they are so helpful! I have a soy intolerance and they easily answered my questions and only have one thing I can't eat! That's not an easy find back home! If you're in Seattle, eat here. Will will again tomorrow for sure!

Really yummy selection. Highly recommend the lavender shortbread and Vietnamese coffee!!

Delicious and super close to where I stayed, I needed coffee quick and this worked out perfect. Nice cozy store. 1st time in Seattle was great, and when I return for the next Day Trip Festival I will stop by here again no doubt!

This is a fabulous bakery on Madison Street in Seattle. We popped in (side street paid for parking) and found the most fabulous pastries waiting for us-cookies and cakes, salted caramel croissants, Nanaimo bars, and pastries with cream cheese and blueberries were to die for. Super friendly staff too

Stopped over at this place whike at the hospital. Close proximity to Virginia Mason and Swedish Health. They also offer a healthcare discount for workers and discount for bringing your own cup. The coffe is nice and strong latte! They feature Kuma coffee here which is a local coffee roaster!

Came here pretty close to closing but the staff is super friendly and welcoming. Cute little cafe with a small selection of delicious looking pastries and desserts! They have WiFi and some tables inside. I came here after having a not so great time at the hospital (thankfully this spot is right next door!) and needed a pick me up. The pandan almond milk steamer was just what I needed on a cold day and the almond croissant blew my mind! Honestly this croissant is one of the best I've had in a while! I also got the lavender shortbread cookie because it was just one of those days for me and it was nice and buttery with a good lavender flavor.

I ordered a red velvet cake for my birthday, and it was divine. The frosting was just the right amount of sweet, and the cake was incredibly moist. Will definitely be back!

I've been to Sugar Bakery a few times now and have been impressed with their quality and variety! For my recent birthday, I ordered the creme brulee cake since I love caramel. I placed an order for the 8 in ($66) online on Saturday night and it was ready for pickup on Monday morning. They texted me to notify when it was ready, which I appreciated. The cake was sooo thick and really delicious with the cake having a toasted sugar flavor on the bottom, topping with caramel, and a delicious cream filling. Multiple people asked where the cake was from and I noticed their slices were finished even though the cake was quite large. The cake itself was dry in some parts but it for the most part, it wasn't noticeable while eating it with the filling. I also picked up a vegan muffin for my friend and he enjoyed it. I've enjoyed their almond croissant in the past and it is of similar quality to Le Panier by Pike's. Overall, I'm excited to try more of their offerings although it can be pricy. The shop is cute and has 5ish tables if you're looking for to work or chat!

My friend and I went here to catch up before work and we loved our time here! The pastries were delicious and they heated it up for us too! The matcha latte was amazing too but I thought the cappuccino was alright. The ambience was great too - there's a plethora of seating and I can definitely see my self coming back to catch up with a friend or do some work. The staff was extremely friends too - they told what their favorite pastries were because there were so many delicious ones to choose from. I'd recommend this place to all my friends and I'll be coming back soon!

Ordered my Mother's Birthday cake here. I asked for writing on the top but it wasn't done. I ordered the. Chocolate and Vanilla Cake. It was a hit with all attendees and for several days later.

This sweet place not only has desserts all made in house but also offers crafted sandwiches . The coffee is great as well. Come check this place out when you are on the hill. Oh and did I mention the plants they sell.

I placed a large order from this location for a meeting at my office. We had specific dietary restrictions so I asked for the vegetarian and vegan items to be separated. They went above and beyond and made sure any limited dietary item was separated and clearly labeled. Since it was a large catering order, we had it delivered and they were right on time. The standard pastries were flaky and buttery, the vegan muffin was fluffy and so flavorful and the vegetarian items were so quick to go without a single complaint. 100% will order from them again and highly recommend to anyone looking for an elevated breakfast or lunch option.

Poor selection, ridiculous prices. Can only order online for delivery. You pay $$$$ for an 8" round cake.

I recently ordered the vanilla chocolate cake, and would not order this cake again. It looked beautiful, but the edges of the chocolate cake itself was a little dry, and the white frosting was weird. Even after having it sit out at room temperature for a few hours, the white frosting was hard and flaky, and broke off in large crumbly pieces. It almost looked and felt like fondant? The middle of the cake was delightful- the cake was delicate and moist, and the cream filling was nice (different from the frosting that covered the cake).

Had a really nice breakfast before sightseeing. Spacious layout with high ceilings make it a fun space. I opted for the veggie breakfast sandwich and a soy chai latte. Sandwich was hearty with roasted tomato, spinach, egg and cheese. Latte was a perfectly made combo of sweet and spicy. It's order at the counter and they bring it to you. The array of baked goods was tempting, but it's rare I'll splurge on baked goods. Nice staff and clean restrooms, made this a great experience. Lots of folks lingering and working as well as tourists like me.

Sugar is down the street from major hospitals on pill hill in Seattle. We came here for some sustenance after a hospital visit. They have a great assortment of cookies and pastries, sweet and savory, sandwiches and lunch salads, as well as coffee tea and other beverages to go with them. Service was fast and friendly. Cute decor with rolling pins on the wall. They also have a lot of cool plants for sale. We shared some of their cookies with family and everyone asked where they came from and wanted more.

Ordered a birthday cake and cake fell short of expectations. The buttercream was way too hard and inedible - even after leaving the cake out to defrost for over 3 hours (they suggested 2 hours). Everyone made a comment on the buttercream frosting. I left a leftover slice out for 4 hours the next day to see and still had the same inedible issue. Quite disappointed when cakes are pricey and one would expect a delicious cake. Another added disappointment is that I prepaid a tip when I ordered it which makes me pause the next time I have to order something ahead of time and they put on a tip request.

Amazing baked goods! I've tried quite a few of the sweets here and I recommend sticking with the croissant type baked goods since they are the best! 5* croissants: choco croissant, havarti croissant, any danish Their croissants are so light and crispy and airy and buttery...so delicious! The fruit danishes are so good I tried their Apple (usually my least fav flavor) and it was actually really good - the cinnamon, nutmeg cream around the apple really built flavor and the apple itself wasn't mushy, kept its shape and flavor. Everything else is still good, but not my favorite. 3* Jam Scone: jam tasted like sugar free, artificial jelly. But still somehow nostalgic Nanaimo bar: mostly just sugar with some coconut, nuts and overly sweetened cream cheese icing. Tasty if you like sugar, but not what I was looking for Carrot cake: not a super light sponge, kinda heavy, yet could use more carrots. More like a lightly spiced cake with a hint of carrot Vegan muffin: fine, but pretty forgettable Cinnamon brioche: I need to stop trying these since the always end up tasting more like bread than anything else. If you're looking for a bread bun with cinnamon this is good. If you're looking for something closer to a cinnamon roll, this isn't is. All in all, I'm still going back for the croissants and danishes. Things are good enough I might venture in for lunch as well.

We went here looking for dessert because it's one of those rare bakeries that opens after 3pm lol. I walk by here a few times before but never bother to come in because nothing appeared appetizing to me. It's been a while since I been back so it looks like they expanded a little. When we arrived, they still had a lot of their pastries selection left so that was nice. We ended up getting a carrot cake and a jam scone. Surprisingly, the jam scone was really good. I didn't think it was going to be that good but it was delicious. We finished that one pretty quickly. I love how the jam and the scone balance each other and the texture of the scone was perfect. The carrot cake was also good. If you eat the cake on its own, it's not too sweet, but If you eat it with the frosting, it was actually balanced. Also, the cake is moist and not dry so that was a bonus. Overall, I can see myself coming back to try their other stuff.

Unfortunately I didn't like my experience here. I came to wait here while my husband had procedure at the hospital. I ask for the tea and I didn't know they gave me most biggest size not even asking me about it? They charged me $5.25 FOR THE HOT TEA!!!! its like tea bag and hot water 1 minute for the boiling water. Later I found out at Piroski tea was $1.95. I understand coffee can be expensive but not the tea!!! They literally don't have to do anything. I took butter croissant as well and it was worst croissant ever! It felt so starchy inside like a flavor of the old butter. Hardly could finish it. Paid $9 for tea and croissant its ridiculous! They just get so much business because they are close to the hospital.

Amazing baked treats by an amazing staff~! Try the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich! It has an incredible chipotle sauce!

This is a tiny place on Madison that serves good coffee and bakery items which were beautiful and yummy. We also ordered scrambled eggs that came in a rolled up pita. If the people who worked there were as good and as their food we would have returned. When asked what an item was, the only answer was: we only have what is displayed. Not very friendly or helpful.

Right down the street from our hotel was this super cute bakery. When entering there are a few seats on the side, a small waiting area and outside tables. The average price for a pastry or coffee is about $4-$6 and assuming this is a small business I highly recommend it. The pastries are baked fresh every morning with an assortment from croissants to cookies to sandwiches. The coffees are completely customizable unlike the overpriced and disappointing Starbucks reserve. I was able to add oat milk and caramel syrup! The croissants are always important to me as honeycombing and flaking is very complex. Although the croissant was more on the doughier side, it is 100% better than all the overpriced places in LA (where I am from) Last thing is the young girl who was at register was so so sweet! She was very helpful and patient with me and family and I really appreciate it!

They have amazing cakes that taste delicious. We got the Creme brûlée cake and it was so rich in flavor and looked so aesthetic. Heads up, they require a 24 hour notice for their whole cakes so make sure you order ahead of time if you want a whole.

I had a lovely experience sitting here and journaling. The barista was super sweet and gave me coffee recs, and I ended up going with the signature unicorn latte. It was nowhere as sweet as it sounds, just creamy cardamom perfection. I live close by and I'll be back!

A small cafe bakery with a urban feel. Old building. You can tell this is where the locals come. Lots of pastry choices. Very friendly staff. A few tables inside and a couple on the side walk. I had a monkey tail-yummy- and my wife had a turkey cheese croissant. Soft and flakey but my she was concerned over how long it may have been out in the open. We are visiting from our of town and would come back. Easy walk from the Crown Plaza in 6th and Seneca.

Plenty of seating in this spacious cafe which sells plants along one wall, fresh baked pastries, and yummy coffee. I ordered the chai tea latte, and my husband ordered black coffee. My chai tea latte was perfectly creamy and spiced. Friendly fast service! The counter seating along the window has a view of the Space Needle. I ordered a butter croissant and chocolate croissant to go for my girls and they proclaimed them deliciously flaky. The music in the background was mellow and quiet enough that one could stay for hours to work or read or converse.

Picked up a few slices of cake and cheesecake - prices ranged from $6.50 to $8 per slice. There's also a service charge (5%) that's added to the total (receipt states it all goes to the staff). With increasing prices with everything, I'm honestly getting tired of seeing additional surprise charges. Establishments need to either embed the fees into their product prices or pay their workers more and leave the consumers alone. Back home, I sampled a few slices - some cakes were a little on the dry side. Granted, the cakes were purchased at night, so maybe they weren't as fresh anymore and started to dry out? The frostings weren't overly sweet which was a plus, but overall, the cakes were OK. With the dryness, small/medium sized slices, and being that the cakes were just OK, I was a little disappointed considering I shelled out just under $30 for four slices. Tip: Sometimes they offer a Yelp check-in deal or check the Yelp app for promos.

I was craving some cake after my appt across the street and saw that this bakery was super close. I saw all the good reviews for the cakes and was excited to try. I bought 2 cake slices at $6.50 each slice. It definitely LOOKS nice. I mean, who can resist a good looking chocolate cake? I wish I could say the same for the taste though :/ The frosting was lacking flavor and kind of just felt like I was eating unsalted butter half the time. The cake itself looked moist but was on the drier side and I had wished there was some simple syrup to moisten the cake. I think another issue was that the cake is in the open and probably lost any moisture to the air. It's a shame that it wasn't that good. Guess I'm still on the hunt for the best chocolate cake in the Puget Sound area!

I am a bit of a cake snob, as my wife is a wonderful baker. However, after just having had minor surgery, I felt like a pick-me-up. So, we stopped in at Sugar for a slice of cake..... and exited with three!! Walking in with a bandage around my head, the staff delivered the sweetest and most patient service. Answering questions about every cake they had with a smile. I ended up with three slices: a heavy, rich Chocolate Fudge, a light, airy Lemon Chiffon, and a Chocolate and Vanilla Cream that was right in between. Each slice was perfect. Not too sweet, and you can taste the great quality of the chocolate. The Lemon Chiffon was, as the name implied, as airy as a whisp of chiffon and light, zesty and lemony. I knew that I would hurt and be miserable once the local anesthesia wore off, but I had my cake and ate it.

After seeing this place over and over again on Instagram, I decided to go ahead and give it a try. I kept seeing all of these amazing pastries on their Instagram page through promotions and I just kept thinking "man!!I gotta try them out!" WELL THE TIME FINALLY CAME!!! Finding the place was a bit tricky as it's right on Madison! Not off to the side, not on the corner, but right on Madison. And the store front doesn't stick out for the other establishments next to it. The parking isn't the best either but I made it work. Walking into the bakery, I will be honest, it wasn't what I was expecting. Because it says bakery but it's more like a cafe. I haven't been to too many bakeries that offer drinks, and meals. It's also very....Seattle. Out of the ordinary, something you wouldn't expect, but something that makes sense for Seattle. Now when I go to bakeries I like to purchase multiple options for myself and family to try. They do have a lot of options but you also need to get there at a certain time as some items do sell out. I wasn't able to get the cinnamon roll but that's okay. I'll get it next time. Ordered 2 snickerdoodles 1 lemon cookie 1 lavender cookie 1 red velvet cupcake 1 almond croissant The service was kind and fast, she packaged my items and I was on my way. The cupcake was delicious! I hate shops that give a small amount of frosting for cupcakes. This place has it down! The frosting was nice, thick, and plentiful, the cupcake itself was quite dense and so the two pair well together. My partner ate it very fast and asked for another lol The snickerdoodles were perfect! Soft and delicious. My brother said the lemon cookie was good as well with an exception of the large sugar crystals. I felt the lavender cookie was too small, but it was good nonetheless. Now....that almond croissant...it is the best croissant I've ever had. Double baked, topped with almond slices and powdered sugar. Stuffed with the almond filling, omg. It is a airy, crispy, soft, and delicious all at the same time. I would literally come here just for the croissant!! BUT CAUTION!!! The croissant is only available on Tuesday and Thursdays. But so worth the wait in between! I highly recommend them! I took 1 star off because again, I feel the lavender cookie is small, and the cookies in general are pretty standard in taste. Also, the boxes for cupcakes don't hold the cupcakes very well. I do plan on going back, for another croissant of course lol

The staff were very enthusiastic and helpful, and the young woman who helped me made small talk with my wife while I tried to make a decision about what to get haha! All of the pastries looked so good, but I got the chocolate croisant and my wife got a muffin, and we took home some extras for the kids. The croisant was good, but a little dry. My wife liked her muffin a lot. There was also a lot of lunch options, but we were there for breakfast. The shop is very cute and has a relaxed feeling, and the store is accessible. There was plenty of seating. And there is wifi. The latte was good, but my wife said hers was a little cold. Parking was easy to find, on a side street. Very nice place, I want to go back soon. I think they do cakes, but I am not sure.

The food was delicious and service was good they were busy for sure but did a good job keeping up.

If you would like to spend 20+ minutes waiting for your order, this is the place for you. While waiting, I also noticed one of the employees would expose their butt crack every time while trying to reach something in the lower cabinets. All that around the pastries. Bon Appetite my friends! This place also has no AC or maybe it was not on and very small.

Block away from Virginia Mason hospital makes it a definite choice and option on my walk home from my appointments. I never can stop here when I am in my car. I think there is a parking lot behind the building but it might be for the hospital. Located on market st has to be difficult for them because of the construction going on for the last two years (city is replacing pipes because they are too small and old dating them back to 1906). Looking at the customers there, I believe they receive a ton of foot traffic from the neighborhood. Several at that time were residents from the various hospitals close by the bakery. The food is great. Staff friendly, professional and efficient. They also offer frequent buyer programs through square which I hadn't known they used. Seven purchases for a reward. I can definitely participate and will give me incentive to make the effort to return. Not that I need help as this literally has to be one of the best bakeries I have experienced. I ordered the red velvet muffin, vanilla and chocolate muffin and turkey baguette. They all were delicious. The baguette was perfect and not difficult to eat.

Wonderful treats to bring our friends who just had a baby! They loved everything, and it was a beautiful arrangement to take over.

Sugar is very good. Very buttery pastries and everything is sweet. Only minus is it wasnt super handi cap accessible
