If you're a frequent coffee drinker, their refill cup deal is unbeatable at only $1.25. The breakfast sandwich is genuinely one of the best around. The bread is always fresh, and everything is made to order with real care. The staff is wonderful friendly to both locals and folks visiting from out of town and the steady lines just prove how popular the place is. While you're there, take a moment to check out the local artwork and stickers. There are some surprisingly interesting pieces. It can get a little noisy when the blender kicks on, but the back section stays nice and quiet. If I really enjoy the cup of coffee I'm drinking, I'll pop next door and buy the beans. Always a nice bonus. If you see Roxi you are welcome to ask to pet her. You might even get a lick.

I didn't complain or make a fuss. Ill just leave a review on here. That is a health concern serving raw meat. I pulled the steak out of the burrito and finished it. Not sure why or how they could miss an obvious thing. Hope the owner sees this for proper correction before the health department does. Going forward I'll just stick to the drinks and refrain from the kitchen food for a while till there is an obvious change. Thanks.

Talk of the town is right! But not in a good way! I hired Sugar South to cater my daughter's…read morewedding in February 2020. I contracted with them to serve during the entire reception time (4 hours) for 200 people. We did not hire for a dinner, but for hors d'oeuvre to be served to our wedding guests for the complete duration of the reception party after the ceremony. I heard from guests who were caterers in another city that there was not enough food for even 100 people on the serving tables. All of the food was gone before the wedding party finished photographs and first dances, so within the first hour of the reception, all of the food was gone. Guests reported to me that they witnessed Janet throwing away full trays of food into the garbage early in the evening. Food I paid for, thrown away before the end of the reception! There was supposed to be a going-away box for the bride and groom, but there was not. We were promised a gift card to the bride and groom to make up for it, but they never received it. We had to give them money to run through a fast-food place to get food after their reception. Neither the bride or groom got one taste of the foods they picked out for their reception. The bride and groom only got water to drink during their reception (except for their toast of Champaign). Water was supposed to be served and available to our guests in addition to tea and lemonade. But there was none. When guests asked for water because all of the tea and lemonade were gone, Janet was very rude to them and refused to serve them any water, including the water requested for the bride. Guests also reported to me that they heard angry loud voices coming from the kitchen belonging to Janet and her assistant. Sugar South was the worst part of my daughter's wedding. It has left horrible memories that mar the beautiful memories we should all have of our children's wedding. Even now, 8 months after my daughter's wedding, whenever someone talks to me about my daughter's beautiful wedding, they mention how horrible the catering and caterer were. I hear more and more stories from my guests of how awful the catering was. When I called Sugar South to express my grievances and request a refund, Janet hung up on me in mid sentence and refused to answer any of my subsequent calls. Stay away from these people!! They did not fulfill their contract; they are not friendly; they do not want to serve others; they will run away with your money; and hide from you when you express your disappointments in their food and "service."

However, their dedicated customer base means that they sell out of everything basically by lunch time, and the really popular items within just an hour or two. Their bagels are fantastic, and i love how many different and varied flavours they offer. I'm a sucker for a good savoury bagel, and they have so many great options: Asiago cheese, cheddar and jalapeño, old bay, "low country," the list goes on! They also have savoury scones which are fantastic. Their sweet offerings, both in bagels and pastries, shouldn't be missed either. The service is on par with the excellent food, and you can really tell that they love their job and their customers. There's always a smile behind the counter, even at the crazy busiest time, and the owners are often outside greeting people and getting to know their customers. The store gets the job done, but it's not as cozy as you might expect or want for the best bakery in Aiken. If they could make it a warmer feel with big plush armchairs I'm not sure I'd ever leave.

Is this place open at 7? I have been coming every morning at around 7:30 and there has not been any pastries out. I started coming in at 8 and I run into the same problem. The young gentleman at the counter profusely apologized and was very sorrowful, I do understand that it is not his fault but I do think this should be a problem that is addressed and fixed or maybe open later on to ensure pastries. I ended up waiting in my car for about 30 minutes and when i came back in they finally had some out! They were delicious!! read more
