    La Parisienne - Croissant was perfectly executed and the Bellini perfectly balanced with excellent quality champagne.

    Well, everything good starts with a positive, unfortunately, as the owner has moved into many other…read morebusiness ventures, the quality and attentive service has diminished. After paying over $50 for a simple meal for lunch a meal never arrived after 45 minutes. Once the hostess noticed that we were sitting there forever with no drinks, we asked if we could please have our food because we were so late now after 45 minutes we had to leave. She then took another 15 minutes to deliver her food to go that was pathetic missing half of our meal. The salad was basically a three pieces of lettuce with soggy dressing and a toast of mushy goat cheese the turkey sandwich was not edible. Unfortunately we vote with our dollars and won't be back too bad. We thought it would be a good one.! When you diversify with too many restaurants in Aiken, you need to pay attention to your customer base. Good luck

    Wonderful restaurant as you go in you must order and pay that took me for a loop but other that…read morethat it was wonderful delicious food and the croissant was, without exaggeration, the best I've ever had. Perfectly golden, impossibly flaky, and buttery in the most delightful way, it practically melted the moment it touched my tongue. It was the kind of pastry that makes you pause mid-conversation just to appreciate it. If there's one thing you absolutely must try here, it's that croissant.

    smallSUGAR was excellent! Everything, from the food to the ambiance to the customer service, was…read moreamazing! First and foremost, I must start by commending the girls who were working there. They were all so sweet and really went above and beyond to make sure it was a high-quality experience. I noticed that they openly advertise that they don't accept tips and have slightly higher prices in order to pay their workers a living wage, and the results were directly reflected in the customer service that I received. As for the food and drink (coffee), that was pretty good as well! While I do wish that they might have had bagels, the croissant that I substituted it for was warm, buttery, and tasty, and it was a nice change from my usual coffee shop meal, as I've only had a croissant a handful of times. The coffee was fine, and I loved how they offered free refills, which I've noticed that other local coffee shops usually don't. Finally, I loved the setting of the restaurant, which gave you the opportunity to either sit inside and enjoy the ambiance or on the outside patio and enjoy some peace and quiet. I also loved the artwork that they had on the walls, which the waitress informed me was painted by a local artist and which you could purchase if you wanted to. All-in-all, I loved smallSUGAR, will be back in the future, and would highly recommend stopping in!

    Stopped by smallSUGAR and had a decent overall experience, though a few things held it back…read more The space itself was clean and well-kept, with a modern, minimalist vibe that works well for a casual brunch or coffee stop. Service was fine. Nothing particularly standout, but smooth and efficient. For drinks, the coffee was average. It wasn't bad by any means, just nothing memorable. Especially considering the price point. Food-wise, there were some highlights. The sweet potato bowl was well-dressed and flavorful, though it felt like it was missing a protein component to make it more complete. The shakshuka was very good overall, with great flavor, though it leaned a bit salty. The biggest issue was the bread portion. It simply wasn't enough for the dish. I ended up ordering an extra side, and while it's listed as two slices, it's really just one slice cut in half. At $4 for that portion, that is very unreasonable. That was a recurring theme. Pricing felt high across the board for what you receive. While the flavors were there, nothing really stood out as exceptional enough to justify the cost. Overall, not a bad visit. Just one where the value didn't quite match the experience.
