Sugar Sweet Sunshine Bakery Review

I am personally a fan of their strawberry rhubarb pie–it’s the perfect balance between sweet and tart with a delicious buttery crumble top. I also enjoy their apple pie. Another good eat is their banana pudding. Although I have found many good reviews of their cupcakes, however, the one which I tried came across as dry and too light on sugar for me. Perhaps I got a bad batch. Who knows?

Another item of theirs I would recommend to try is their brownies. I have eaten their chocolate brownie which includes chocolate chips. It’s the perfect gooey texture with a rich chocolate flavor. If you’re not a huge chocolate fan, you may want to try their yum yum bar. It includes shortbread crust with chocolate chips, a raspberry preserve and macadamia nuts.

Pricing: Compared to a lot of other desert shops in New York, Sugar Sweet Sunshine Bakery’s pricing is affordable. Unlike other places, their portion sizes match up to their prices. You can get a small pudding for $5, a single cupcake for $2.50 and personal pie for $6.50.
Ambience: There is not a lot of seating available, but if you want to stop here with a few friends, there’s a little space. The staff is nice as well.
Final rating: ★★★★★ – 5 stars for good price, desserts and variety of options.
