    Ordered through DoorDash (so maybe the issue was with them- although these look almost intentionally poorly packaged) So sad to have these arrive looking like this and unable to serve for thanksgiving

    I feel like we have a habit of forgetting places like this exist until it's someone's birthday but when one of those occasions comes around you're extra excited cause you get to get cupcakes that taste like paradise.

    Sugar Mama's Bake Shop is the kind of place that reminds you why local bakeries matter. From the moment you walk in, it has this groovy, welcoming vibe that feels like a treat in itself. We ordered a Jurassic Park-themed cake for my son's 7th birthday, and they absolutely crushed it. The detail, the design, and the creativity went above and beyond. But it wasn't just about looks--when we cut into it, the cake tasted just as good as it looked. Moist, flavorful, and clearly made with care. What really stood out is how they made the whole experience feel magical for my son. That kind of personal touch is hard to find, and Sugar Mama's delivers it effortlessly. It's no wonder they've won awards. Between the vibe, the service, and the quality, this is a bakery that knows how to do it right.

    still a winner! if you live in atx, this should be your go-to bakery. they are reasonably priced, but not at the cost of flavor. each dessert item is decadent and rich. i am definitely a sugar mama's super fan! try any and EVERYTHING!! you honestly can't go wrong bonne appétit

    We wanted cupcakes so I used Yelp to find this wonderful shop! We were there on a Saturday at 4:30 PM and there were lots of choices available. We took them to go and enjoy them over the next few days. All of the cupcakes were moist and tasty. The champion carrot cake was my favorite.

    Custom cake

    Not from Austin and ordered a cake for my daughters birthday. When it was opened to serve as you can see Birthday was spelled wrong. I called the shop and was told by the employee that answered "we all human, mistakes happen". I emailed the shop with no reply, left messages for the shop owner/manager....no response. Very expensive cake to have Birthday misspelled.

    The absolute best. Friendly service. Cute little shop! And the best cupcakes. I am currently enjoying the disco lemonade and I am so sad it's only sold in July. Please make this a staple! I picked these up for a coworkers birthday and the majority of my office had never had Sugar Mama's before. I created a monster because now everyone wants a dozen for their birthdays, too. Great success! I couldn't get a photo of all the cupcakes before people started to take from it!

    Love love love this place!!! Just bought a cake from there for a birthday and its amazing I was completely blown away. I got the red velvet flavor ( I can't remember the exact name) and we all enjoyed it very much!!

    Graduation cookies!
    Anais B.

    Thank you! I ordered cookies to celebrate my masters graduation, and I ordered custom made cookies from Sugar Mama's. They were delicious! An aesthetic cookie with just the right amount of sweetness, and not plastered with mounds of icing. If you are looking for custom designed cookies for a special event, highly recommend Sugar Mama's!

    Lemon Bar
    Michelle V.

    This place is adorable! The service was incredible - the guy at the front was super friendly and helpful! We got a lemon bar and a salted caramel cheesecake (both to die for) the cheesecake though was INSANE!! We also got a dog treat for our chihuahua and he LOVED it - he is usually picky with dog treats lol right next door is a cute coffee shop too!

    Cupcakes and cakes

    Hopped off the plane and the first place my friend took me to was this bakery. Just like a lot of place in Austin, it's cute and quaint looking from the outside. Once inside, I was amazed at how much they had in both decor and baked goods. It is indeed tiny but so well decorated, it didn't feel crammed. I got some peanut butter cookies and my friend got a couple cupcakes. I didn't taste them until much later and then was disappointed I didn't just buy all the cookies they had remaining. I see why my friend likes this place but since I'm not a cake/cupcake person, I would have loved to see more cookies. Otherwise, it was delicious!

    Three Austin Inspired Cookies

    We needed a local bakeshop to add into our goodie bags at work - sugar mama's did not disappoint! They were super quick and had the cookies ready for us to pick up within 48 hours!!

    Carrot Cake and Brownie

    Found this gem on yelp.. Carrot Cupcake is absolutely delicious. Full of rich flavors and freshness you cannot escape. I definitely recommend you stopping by for a palate explosion.. Bon Appetite

    Ask the Community - Sugar Mama's Bakeshop

    Any sugar free items?

    No I asked. There was a sign for sugar free cookies but they don't make them anymore. They also said that they come up as sugar free on google because of their name and the deal where you get a free cupcake if you buy a dozen. It's worth the sugar… 

    Any gluten free desserts?

    Yes! They always have at least one vegan and gluten free option.

    RE: Business owner information General Manager…read more Business Manager Jul 17, 2026 Hi Paul, Thank you for your detailed feedback. While we're glad you joined us, I'm sorry to hear your breakfast experience didn't meet expectations. We'll be reviewing your comments with our culinary team to improve consistency. We appreciate you giving us a try and hope to provide a better experience in the future. Warm regards, Wes Brown It's great to receive a response from the business manager regarding our experience at their restaurant, but all four us thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast. We had absolutely no complaints regarding our dining experience. Caroline is affiliated with the Marriott Element and Aloft hotels and that, I believe, where the affiliation ends. I try to avoid hotel eateries but I've had great dining experiences at hotels like the JW Marriott in Austin. We, four, stopped by on a Sunday AM for breakfast and we had a great time. They do have brunch cocktails available and their bloody Mary's were deemed excellent with just the right amount of spice. My bloody Maria was on point and we all got our Sunday Funday started. Breakfast was wonderful. Our eggs arrived cooked perfectly. The pepper bacon and real potato sides were off the charts delicious. They also offer a few TexMex breakfast options and Plus one was raving about her Huevos Rancheros plate. Service was excellent even though they became busy our server was very attentive. Pro tip: Sat and Sun AMs if you arrive early you can easily score a table.

Since I've been going on my own I've also had the lemon crinkle cookie as well as the chocolate crinkle and the double chocolate chip. All are enough to put my head in a tizzy state of intoxication from their sugary goodness. I'll have to say the double chocolate chip cookie is my favorite. That is, as I type this.

There are so many different options and fillings, so there's definitely something for everyone. I think the bakery is run by an older couple who make everything themselves. Their are incredibly sweet and friendly and really try their best to explain the different fillings and pastries. One thing to know: despite what some of the photos might suggest, there is no actual seating area where you can sit down and eat. You'll need to take everything to go. We originally thought we could sit and enjoy the pastries there because we saw photos with a table and chairs, so I wanted to mention this for anyone planning a visit. Everything we tried was fresh, soft, and delicious. I definitely recommend giving this place a try! Just make sure to check the names and fillings beforehand so you know what you're getting.

But I'm surprised if he didn't see there was mold either that or they were 2 days old which is why they had mold on them since it usually takes 2 days to develop due to moisture and being out.

Definitely one of those places that keeps you thinking about the cookie long after you leave. Everything else in the bakery also looks amazing, but the cookies are absolutely the star of the show. One important thing to note for first-time visitors: be very careful with parking. The lot next door apparently boots cars almost immediately if they see you park there and walk toward the bakery. It's not the bakery's fault, but it's definitely something customers should be aware of before visiting. Parking headache aside, this place is 100% worth the trip.

I got the chocolate chip cookies with pecans. They had the texture of gingerbread cookies and were huge. They were gooey in the middle, perfectly crisp on the outside, and rich without being eye-squinting sweet. The chocolate chip cookies had welcoming textures and flavors. In addition, my server was kind and patient as I made my selection. You could taste the quality of ingredients, and each mouthful was progressively delicious. Definitely try Thoroughbread cookies for yourself. You're in for a treat.

Glad the choice was made for us -- the ube was perfect on its own. Also happy we skipped the toppings since the creaminess really came through. They sell mochi donuts too -- they were pretty good but not as good as the ice cream. Parking is limited but we had no issue snagging a spot at 430pm on a Sunday. Only a few narrow spots outside (no official lot). Full disclosure -- both my daughter and I had tummy aches after eating this ice cream and you know what? I have zero regrets! It was that good.
