"Owner Lesley McDevitt opened The Sugary in 2017, and it is now one of Rittenhouse Square’s premier dessert studios. The custom cakes here are as bold as they are beautiful, a testament to her strong background in pastry arts and her heartfelt desire to bring your ideas to life for your events through original cakes and desserts." - George Banks-Weston

"This Center City dessert studio may be known for its gorgeous cakes and cupcakes, but its cookie selection is equally as stellar. Its highly sought-after almond croissant cookie, made with sliced almonds and topped with powdered sugar, is worth the trip." - George Banks-Weston

One of my favorite bakeries in the city! The Sugary does amazing wedding cakes and the best buttercream cupcakes. I’m just happy I don’t live around the corner or I’d be there every day! A must try!

I ordered my husband 70th birthday cake with Sugary and OMG it was just perfect ! Can’t thank enough Leslie for all the help in designing the cake. Cake was so so good and looked so beautiful. Working with Leslie was a pleasure she is amazing ! Also their store in the city is just adorable! Will definitely order more cakes in the future.

Lesly was incredibly responsive, professional, and made the whole process feel so easy. Our wedding cake turned out exactly how we envisioned it, and we couldn’t have been happier with the entire experience!

Lesly was amazing. She was able to do a cake and cupcakes a week before my baby shower when I couldn’t find anyone else. The cake came out beautiful and so did the cupcakes! I will definitely be using her again in the future for any other events and referring my friends and family! Thank you again for making my shower perfect!

Very cute corner. All desserts and cupcakes look and taste great, decent coffee. A little on the expensive side but with it!

Relly good place, very cute and with a good amount of cupcake flavors. I really appreciate that the frosting is made with Swiss buttercream because the texture is smother and less sweeter than a regular frosting. Because the frosting is made with butter and they have the cupcakes in the fridge I would recommend you to bring your cupcakes to room temp before eating them, that way the frosting would be soft and nice. You can also pop them in the microwave for 10 to 20 sec if you want to eat them right away, but be careful not to melt them 😉

Nice little spot with cupcakes, brownies, slices of cake, and more! We had a a few items and they were all pretty. We’re just super stoked to have a nice little bakery in the neighborhood. Cashiers were both great too.

Everything here is amazing!! Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious treats. I’ve never tried something from here that I haven’t loved. Even got my birthday cake from here and it was my favorite one ever!!! Amazing flavor, beautiful decor, and a hit with everyone who tried it.

The service was pleasant and quick. This shop is adorable, with a small, cozy seating area perfect for a casual treat. I tried the almond croissant, which was basically a soft powder sugar dusted sugar cookie topped with almonds. It was flavorful and sweet. I also tried the vanilla cupcake. While the batter was tasty and slightly moist, I wasn't a fan of the icing's texture. It was too light, almost mousse like. Overall, it was a nice experience, and I'm glad I stopped by to check out this new spot.

This is a small, cozy bakery. The pumpkin bread is perfect for fall and I look forward to trying their other pastries/desserts including cookies and cupcakes.

The space is very cute and has a nice nook to sit and eat with a friend. I loved the almond croissant cookie! Lots of cupcake options as well as cake slices, tiramisu, and more. Many drink choices too.
