Editorial Review for Sugar Sweet Sunshine – by Allison Austin
The Scene
On the block between uber-chic Schiller's and 'Inoteca, this little bakery is a breath of unassuming fresh air. The furniture is old and mismatched, the walls are bare and the baker is the counter person, the espresso puller and also the person who'll ring up your order.
The Food
The owners used to work at Magnolia Bakery, so naturally there's going to be talk about who makes the best cupcakes. These are pretty good: The vanilla cake is superior to the chocolate, and the chocolate icing is superior to the vanilla. But what's surprising is the pumpkin spice cupcake--the cake itself is extra-moist and excellent. A selection of whole tarts, cookies, cakes and cakes by-the-slice is available in flavors like orange, pistachio, red velvet and devil's food. The muffins and coffee cakes are fine, though they might benefit from a bit of salt.

I'm a cupcake junkie and have been to many of the more well known bakeries- Magnolia, Buttercup, Crumbs, and I can honestly say that Sugar Sweet Sunshine has the best cupcakes overall. Their buttercream icing is NEVER too sweet and always light and fluffy. I have never gotten rude service from them and even ordered a cake not on their menu and they agreed to make it for me. The order came out perfect, the writing was exactly as I specified. When I asked her to see it she didn't hesitate at all and was glad to show me. I've never ever had a bad experience there and I visit Sugar Sweet Sunshine at least once a week. Don't pass judgement before you try it!! Definitely worth a try, you won't be sorry. BTW- the pistachio cupcakes are the best and my absolute favorite!
Pros: Pistachio, light buttercream icing, pumpkin spice
Cons: None.

These ladies (and gentlemen) make some damn good cupcakes (personally a huge fan of the pistachio cc's), and the cafe is a very cute spot to hang out and get your sugar and caffeine fix. What a great addition to the LES. I hope they stick around for a long time.
