My kids and I stopped in hoping for a few treats for an afternoon snack. The interior is gorgeous. The cashier was friendly.
However, I was really, really surprised about the baked goods. For an establishment called Southern Sugar, I was not impressed. All of the items looked like they were prepared by a home cook, which is to say they looked okay I guess, but not impressive. The cupcakes were small and haphazardly iced, the muffins were small and dry looking, cookies were unevenly baked and again just completely average looking. Very few choices overall.
I'm gonna tell ya, we love our baked goods and never struggle to find treats at a bakery! We ended up leaving with one peanut butter cookie that I only purchased because the cashier was standing in front of me and I didn't want to be rude. We took it to go and it was fine. Very crumbly and dry (I suspect shortening was used vs butter) and even though we shared it amongst the three of us, no one complained for more.
I really was hoping for a true bakery experience. Even the kids were bummed because we've been watching this place go in for months and were so excited to try it. I hope we just caught them on an off day when maybe the B team was baking. We'll give them another try in a month or two to see if they improve.
