Woot woot!! Finally made it to Sugar Cafe and certainly surpasses expectations. I came for the Harvest Fall dinner. Decor is welcoming and warm yet simple with the turquoise, white and black color scheme. Feels immediately cozy and even more so with the thought of a nice pastry and cup of coffee or tea.
Anyway as for the dinner, I started with a salad which wasn't overly dressed and had some crunchies with the sunflower seeds, then moved onto sausage stuffed mussels which was very musselly but delicious, had the braised short ribs and then had a ginger pumpkin cup cake dessert. Instead of the stuffed mussels, my friends had butternut squash soup and instead of the short ribs they had the salmon. Also because none of us had ordered the vegetarian pot pie the owner graciously gave us a plate. The sausage stuffed mussels were delicious but again very seafoody which I do like. I did however taste the butternut squash soup which was rich and comforty - I could have gone either way. I did not taste the salmon but my short ribs were okay - a little tough to eat. The pot pie on the other hand was like the butternut squash soup - rich and delicious and soulful - though not sure if I could have eaten the whole thing. Dessert won my heart over and I typically sway savory.
Service was awesome and to boot we could buy some of their treats in the display case - I bought four strawberry macaroons. I am in love after tasting the macaroons at the last yelp event. I will be back for some more sweets and perhaps lunch.
