smallSUGAR in Columbia is highly regarded for its exceptional pastry selection and welcoming, chic atmosphere. Reviewers frequently praise the quality of the food, specifically mentioning the honey cream, roasted apple, and yogurt bowls. The coffee program is a standout, with many guests enjoying lattes made with unique, house-made syrups like bourbon caramel. The staff is consistently described as sweet and accommodating, contributing to the high-quality experience. A unique aspect noted by visitors is the no-tip policy, which is reflected in slightly higher menu prices to support fair wages for the team. While the salads are flavorful, some diners suggest asking for dressing on the side to avoid them being over-dressed.
