We found this place via the Tripadvisor City Guide iPhone app, so it allowed us to see China Town & Little Italy on the way there from Broadway retail stores.  The coffee was fine & the cupcakes were average compared to Magnolia in a shop that looks messy & the floor was dirty.  It was worth the visit for the...

I have been going to sugar sweet sunshine for about three years. When I first started to go there the owners were always present and the food was outstanding. Like any good business after you start to get too busy you need to hire extra help for the kitchen. That being said, I noticed the quality of cupcakes has gone... More

The cupcakes are pretty, with creative flavor ideas, but the taste is just average. The prices are reasonable though... More

We've just arrived home from our latest trip to NYC which was to celebrate our 10th anniversary. Having been to the Sugar Sweet Sunshine Bakery on previous trips, I pre-ordered 1/2 dozen mixed cupcakes (decorated with the number 10) as a present for my DH. Each one was delicious and they are generous with the frosting. I'd particularly recommend the... More

I visited the city on my son's 8th birthday, and ordered a cake by phone and had it delivered to my hotel. The bakery was very nice via e mail and phone planning the specifics, I had very high hopes for this lighthouse cake. It was delivered as promised. The cake was one layer chocolate and one layer vanilla. The... More

We traveled from CT and read about these cupcakes and had to give them a shot. We tried three things. A red velvet cupcake, a pumpkin spice cupcake, and a slice of the peanut butter icebox pie. The red velvet cupcake left something to be desired, but the pumpkin cupcake was excellent, and the peanut butter ice box pie was... More

I had first visited Sugar Sweet Sunshine when it opened during the beginning of the cupcake craze. Back then, I had loved the interesting icing flavors and tasty treats from this Magnolia alum. However, my recent trip to the bakery was less satisfying. The Pistachio Cupcake had only a subtle amount of nutty flavor, and the icing was completely bland.... More

After shopping in Soho, we decided to wander over to the Lower East Side to check out this cupcake place. It’s not a bad cupcake. It’s in the heart of the LES, just a couple blocks south of Houston. Not difficult to find. It wasn’t our favorite cupcake in NYC, but it made for a great snack and a fun... More

We went there this past weekend while visiting my sister. This little place is a hidden gem. The cupcakes are fabulous! I had a Bob with chocolate almond icing. On a cold evening, it was an enjoyable treat, along with a cup of coffee. The girl at the counter was sweet and helpful. It's just a tiny place, but if... More
