    Located just down the hill from Swedish hospital, I can see this place being the perfect little bakery to relax and enjoy a sweet treat. The service was nice, the pastry display was cute and there were even plants for sale! However, the slice of pink champagne cake that I had was disappointing. Despite looking pretty, the crumb was dry, the jam was nothing special, and the icing was so thick and tasteless that I didn't eat it. For $8.25 a slice, I would much rather buy cake from Safeway. There is limited seating with 6 small tables inside and 2 outside. There is no compost or recycling, only trash. Maybe it was a bad day for them but with so many other good bakeries in the area, I don't recommend that you visit this location.

    A great bakery filled with delicious treats! They had many great options to pick from! I got their sandwich and a chocolate croissant. It was very yummy and everything I want from a croissant! I want to go back to try a cake (the cake slices look so good!) and a drink! Everyone was also super friendly!

    Super yummy chocolate croissant and latte, selection was super limited since it was the end of the day (about an hour before they closed) this location is also super tight. Still a good experience I would've loved to hit a bigger location in the morning when there's a wider selection. service was great. Cute little spot. The selection and tightness of this location are the only takeaways leaving it from being 5 stars.

    Bacon Breakfast Sammy

    Searching on yelp for coffee and pastries and came across Sugar Bakery so decided we should try it. We got there around 9am, so the place was quite busy. There isn't much seating inside (I believe there were a few tables on one side, but it is quite cramped in there). Even with the long line, the staff worked really hard to get people in and out as quickly as possible. If you have about 20 minutes or so, would recommend grabbing a coffee and pastry to go! I tried the iced latte with the cardamom and ginger syrup-- it was great. Not too sweet and perfect balance of spices. My friend had the pandan latte and it was also delicious-- the flavor was surprisingly aromatic and not overwhelming. The pastries all look great. We watched as the staff was actively laminating dough and it was really cool to see. They were out of the potato and sausage quiche, so I tried the bacon and egg breakfast sandwich (on an English muffin). This was also flavorful; I believe there was a tomato paste or something of the sort that had a little spicy kick to it and much made the sandwich even better.

    Havarti croissant
    Isra A.

    Such. A. Good. Find! Woke up needing a little treat this morning so we stopped inside Sugar Bakery and I will 1000% be back. Interior was so quaint and cozy. Some tables and chairs but not a lot of space, though I imagine the window seats are highly sought after. I ordered the havarti croissant and it was divine. So buttery and delicious, but I think the star of the show was the jam scone. They use locally made strawberry jam which I'll have to find out where they get it from bc it was divine. The scone base also tastes so nostalgic in a way. Very cake-like. Service was impeccable. Overall 11/10 experience. Will be back (esp to try the pandan coconut cupcake)!!

    Croissants

    On the Everlong quest for morning, pastries, and coffee... I was thrown into a personal review from my significant other how this place has the best pastries that she's had in a long time. Granted I hold a high level in this department because it might be one of the most reviewed quick snacks in my yelp history. They did have some interesting flavor profiles, which to be honest most of the time I'm not a huge fan of I tend to like the classics. I'm old and sat in my ways. Sure, she tried a couple interesting winter time, seasonal pastries, and though they were good, I do not feel they were the best and for that reason giving it a four star I honestly think just a little further down the road there are some Chinese bakeries that are just doing it better bigger and cheaper With that said they have good apple size pastries here, but it will not be crowned king

    birthday cake slice
    Brianna P.

    I got the birthday cake slice after seeing great reviews online, and I can say this place is not worth it. The cake was dry, flavorless and expensive, it resembled something that I could get down the street at QFC. I didn't finish it because it literally tasted like nothing and felt like a waste of calories very disappointed.

    Sugar bakery is a walk from my apartment. They staff there is very nice and the service is always great. It's a small shop and the ambiance is very cozy. Rain or shine it's nice to stop by

    Delicious Treats
    Janai F.

    If you are on first hill and desire a sweet treat this is the place to come. Sugar Bakery has delicious treats. The champagne cake was so moist, perfect display of sweet and raspberry. The pecan shortbread cookie was devine, with a flavorful blend of Carmel pecan and shortbread. We also got the crème brûlée cake and chocolate brownie cookie and they both were fabulous. Staff are very sweet and friendly.

    Boying T.

    I got a delicious crème brûlée cake, and the red velvet cupcakes looked good as well. Most of the bakeries do pastries and not cakes, so happy to have some cake. The spot is a cozy neighborhood cafe with outdoor seating and outlets if you want to work here. Staff was helpful and nice!

    Hair in food

    Been here several times, finally brought my parents so they could try it. Hyped the place up and from the beginning, the lady at the cash register was rude and immediately had attitude with us and unsure why. Saw her smiling, kind, chatty and warm to other customers. Unfortunately, left a sour taste in our mouths and no longer feel welcome here as I did before. To top it off, my turkey n Swiss croissant had a short pubic looking hair stuck in it. Went into this excited and left sad and disappointed

    Annette W.

    For cake that melts in your mouth, not in your hand, little teeny tiny drops of Ambrosia like heaven that hits your taste buds greater than any indica could ever This is the best cake I said imagine nectar of the gods seriously. This right here is a slice of Nirvana and its literal since Seattle. The only other place this good is in Georgetown

They open later, 4pm during the week and 3pm on the weekends and open until midnight. Great place to get dessert and a drink. We were there at opening, and ordere the grilled cheese which comes with tomato soup, crème brûlée and I had th hot chocolate. The sandwich was good, although I would have liked a slice more cheese. The soup was really amazing. I don't often like tomato soup but this was the exception. Chunks of tomato and a full flavor without a lot of spices. The crème brûlée was warmed and freshly caramelized on top. This is not made in advance and just refrigerated which seems to be more common these days. The hot chocolate hit the spot! Options for no -dairy alternatives were offered which I almost forgot to ask. Liked the atmosphere, spacious and high ceilings. The staff was very friendly and nice. They had a rush when they opened and didn't seem unusual for them. The candied orange was a nice touch.

My only complaint is that it's so popular and the lines are so long it's more efficient to order your ice cream and sandwich together. But you gotta eat your ice cream first otherwise it'll melt! I appreciate having the human interaction with the cashier but a tablet system would be faster in this case I fear. We waited in line for 10min and it was about the same for our sandwiches to come out. The ice cream we were handed right away. 10/10 for the ice cream, no notes. I got the matcha and strawberry swirl with a hard chocolate shell on top. The homer sandwich was tasty and had a good spice to it - wish there was more sauce or mayo. The chicken was juicy but the bun and everything else felt dry and needed some sauce. There's some seating inside and also outdoor seating which is perfect on a summer day. I definitely would recommend but for the wait time it does deter my decision of choosing this in future so come here when you have the time!
