If you love cupcakes, and you like them sweet and fresh, please do not pass up a chance to visit this lovely little place. Since we don't visit Charleston very often, we had to buy four cupcakes. It was the minimum. Wished I could have tried more. We had Key Lime, Blueberry Vanilla, Coconut Vanilla, Chocolate Mint, and a yummy... More

This was one of our stops on the Culinary tour - only regret that I had is that we didn't spend more time there. YUMMY, great cupcakes. Go by if you have time.

Our daughter and her husband shopped all over Charleston for wedding cakes, and Sugar easily won the cake tastings. Last year, on their first anniversary, we ordered cupcakes in the same flavors as the wedding cakes, and once again we were reminded why Sugar is a great choice for any occasion that requires something special. Thanks, Sugar!

Every time we go to Charleston we hit Sugar Bakeshop. I love to go in and pick out the most interesting cupcakes. One of each till I have a box full then I get to sample. YUM! The chocolate chocolate is the bomb! Love the coconut too! Pecan squares are my husbands favorite. Its all yummy yummy!

The shop is beautiful and the service was prompt and polite. $3 seems like a lot to pay for a cupcake, but it was exceptionally good.

Everything in here looked delicious! We did not have room for cupcakes (sadly) however we split a cookie that was very good. They also sell their own popsicles! And dog treats. The place is very small but very cute and smells amazing.

I read the reviews before our trip, but we actually just stumbled upon the shop while wandering the city. The shop is simply beautiful. The adjacent courtyard is quiet and allowed our tiny kids a place to safely stretch their legs. We couldn't resist the delicate lemon sugar smell that wandered out the door.

We were in Charleston for a weekend and visited twice. Precious setting with cute courtyard. The cupcakes are excellent and the hit for us were the lime sugar cookies. Great spot for a special treat.

We stopped in based on the recommendation of a waitress from a nearby restaurant. This is a tiny, charming bakery that concentrates on cupcakes, some with unique flavors (Pistachio? Yum!). They have some specialties, including the Lady Baltimore, involving sherry-soaked figs and raisins, which is offered only on Thursdays and which we unfortunately missed. We snagged several of the smaller-sized... More
