Lady SmileJanuary 15, 2016I really love this place. I can hang out as long as I want before work. Great selection of desserts. One of my guilty pleasures! Need an updated bathroom though.
WinnieAugust 10, 2015Cheap and yummy breakfast food. Great service. Open 24/7 and has breakfast food all day!
SeemaApril 22, 2014Nice view w open windows. Huge sandwiches, great ice tea and they play awesome music. Also Michael is the best. Such a great cheerful attitude :)
Shanita MitchellJuly 28, 2013The bacon deluxe burger were good and the French fries were great! Nice ANC crunchy. Good eats for a low price.
Pancakes and French Toast are really good and the portions are HUGE! They come with a serving of assured fruit and powdered sugar on top.
Jo ChowDecember 18, 2011I worked here. AVOID baked goods! They put the day-old out and leave flies having babies in their pies). The BBQ chicken is best in the city though.
Tony MachinJuly 5, 2013The cupcakes I had were kinda lame. The snicker and oreo cookie one were just vanilla cupcakes with flavored icing. Shoulda just got the red velvet.
NearSay NYCJuly 25, 2011A great little café that will satisfy your sweet tooth. The mint chocolate chip ice cream and the red velvet cake are out of this world!
Scrambled eggs done just right. A step above your average diner/coffee shop in execution and service.
Elizabeth TuckerMay 11, 2012It's a shame that tourists head straight to places like Magnolia's or Crumbs - Sugar has the best Red Velvets in New York City, full-stop.
Kevin Jan MOctober 23, 2014They serve a delicious Chai-Tea-Latte 😋 The other treats are a geat pleasure too and the staff is really really friendly & funny!
Tamara HSeptember 13, 2011Surprisingly calm considering it's location. Don't let the counter fool you—seat yourself for table service, and pick a table in the back, shielded from the hubbub of the street.
Alexandra I.August 26, 2014Some of the best gelato I've had in a very long time! Plus the service is excellent!
Amanda HarrisJuly 6, 2015Great selection of desserts but wasn't impressed with waffles or chocolate layer cake.
Like that place! Solid breakfast, great squeezed orange juice & pancakes 24 hours!
Go for brunch! Delicious, and cheap for NYC. Desserts are excellent, too.
Thompson HotelsFebruary 24, 2012Partying ‘til dawn is easy to do in the LES. Wind down with a late night/early morning snack at the 24-hour Sugar Café.- Jorge GeorgeDecember 3, 2011Try the specials. Well served for the price and everything I've tried so far is delicious.
M TSeptember 28, 2011everything looks delicious-tried the red velvet cup cake which was the perfect balance of sweetness.
Annie LuOctober 10, 2012Made the classic rookie mistake of ordering based on looks and was enticed by the tiramisu. Should've stuck to the red velvet - tiramisu was dry and weirdly lumpy. $5 for a huge square - save your $$
24/7 baked goods? I'll be having that. Many sugar-free late nights have been avoided by the acquisition of one of their very handy Red Velvet cupcakes.
Bob FineDecember 6, 2011The all day breakfast here absolutely rocks. Can't go wrong with the Greek omelet.
Eric MNovember 12, 2010amazing food if you want to wait a while. 25 minutes for a really thin turkey burger doesn't cut it. other than that, the food is great!
King TommyMay 29, 2013It's May 29th and they had pumpkin pie! It was pretty decent but I love how they had it this time of year.
Good food all around. The hot chocolate is totally tits.- NOM NOM BorisFebruary 16, 2012Smoked Turkey one of the most nomnom brie sandwiches. The super cheesy! More tips & pics @ nomnomboris.com
Uranium TVJuly 23, 2014Very unaccommodating, wouldn't sub out home fries & toast for a small salad, that's $2extra. Worst service and so-so food but I keep making an appearance.. not sure what that says about my character..
Katherin SonJune 11, 2012Two thumbs up for the bagels here...I once asked where they were from but can't remember. :( Open 24/7.
Vito TartagliaOctober 13, 2015The coffee is good. Cakes not bad but alai not too good. I.e. Red velvet was too much dry and roux icing too heavy.
Elizabeth Elle FellowsAugust 20, 2012The most amazing mint chocolate chip gelato with frozen chocolate pieces. Nom.
Their dirty chai lattes are the best! Spiced liquid crack!!
In summer one wall is opened up for near sidewalk seating
Steve LindseyMarch 5, 2012Good dessert? Yes. Good coffee? Not so much...you're better off going across Houston if you want something worthwhile.
