Not only great cup cakes and atmosphere but some of the best people in houston own the place. Great combination.

Very disappointed

I was so excited to find Sugarbaby's. I took my two daughters there for a sweet afternoon. We ordered a vanilla cupcake and a chocolate cupcake. The presentation in the case was impressive. However, the cupcakes were less than gourmet. They advertise "Madagascar vanilla" and other flavorings. However, the vanilla cupcake was not edible. It had the distinct flavoring of licorice and tasted as though someone had accidentally dumped several bottles of flavoring in the cake. Terrible indeed. The chocolate was okay but even my chocoholic daughter only at half. Very disappointing to say the least. You would fare better at the grocery store with Duncan Hines.
I did ask one of the staff what the sharp flavor in the vanilla cupcake was and she acted as if I were asking for directions to Mars. She said she had not tried it and had no clue what they put in it. Hmmm.
Thankfully the Chocolate Bar is right around the corner from here. We left, went down to the chocolate bar, and had a real dessert.
- Pros: Cute building
- Cons: Terrible cupcakes
Best Cupcakes Ever!

We've been to Sugarbaby's several times when I was downtown for medical testing. It was a bright spot in otherwise stressful days. We've been so consistently impressed with the quality of food, the presentation, the atmosphere, and the delightful staff that we decided to place a custom order for our daughter's first birthday. Sugarbaby's did not disappoint! We ordered three dozen mini cupcakes, 12 red velvet with cream cheese frosting, 12 vanilla with pink frosting, and 12 chocolate with purple frosting. Each cupcake had a tiny fondant circle on top with a "1" piped on it. I was thrilled when I saw the cupcakes-- the bakery had gotten every detail perfect, and they were so delicious. I've had unsatisfying experiences with grocery store bakeries, and I didn't have any of those issues with Sugarbaby's. We will continue to be repeat customers. Please don't pay any attention to the negative reviews that have been written-- they're absurd!
- Pros: unique presentation, great taste, friendly staff
- Cons: a little pricey
Great cupcakes!

The red velvet cupcakes are outstanding! The icing is perfect... not too sweet but just right! The place is adorable too! Definitely check it out!!!
- Pros: Great cupcakes
Poor Customer Service

Their customer service is just a few notches up from a fast food chain. Their staff is inhospitable and cold, preferring to be efficient than to be friendly. I expect a small business to have good customer service, that's not the case for this one, hence the rating.
With so many cute designs for cupcakes, this bakery opts for a simple presentation. The presentation isn't intricate or creative. As far as the cupcake flavor, it is average.
The Victorian decor is the only thing I really like about Sugarbaby Cupcake Boutique.
- Pros: decor
- Cons: parking, customer service
Beautiful atmosphere, not so happy about the cupcakes!!

I AM A SUGAR FREAK. AND WHEN I SAW HOW ADORABLE THIS PLACE LOOKS I THOUGHT THERE WAS NO WAY I WOULD BE DISAPPOINTED. BUT UNFORTUNATLY, I WAS NOT PLEASED AT ALL NOT EVEN A LITTLE. I BOUGHT A DOZEN BECAUSE THE PRESENTATION OF THE CUPCAKES AND THE NAMES SEEMED YUMMY. WE CHOSE A VARIETY, AND NEITHER MY LITTLE BROTHERS (WHO LIKE ANYTHING SWEET) NOR ANYONE ELSE IN MY FAMILY ENJOYED THEM AT ALL. SORRY BUT I HAVE TO SAY THAT I WILL STICK TO MY HOMEMADE CUPCAKES..
- Pros: THE PLACE IS GREAT FOR PICTURES.
- Cons: THE CUPCAKES ARE NOT GREAT

ok so I had been wanting to go to sugar babys for a while now but was relying on the reviews to much. It was my b-day today so i decided to be a little daring. My husband and I went in the afternoon and to my surprise I loved the cupcakes! I had the va va vanilla w/chocolate buttercream the icing was so yummy creamy and sweet but not to sweet and the cake part was perfect ,nice and moist and it evened out the sweetness perfectly! The staff was so curteous and helpful. I really enjoyed my cupcake and it was a cute little shop. my b-day treat was great!
- Pros: cute shop, yummy cupcakes
- Cons: little pricey for sweets
Hooked on Sugarbaby's
by ritaright

I found out about Sugarbaby's through word of mouth, then was given a sample of Rouge Velvet and S'mores. The icing is what will make get you hooked. It is buttercream, piled on, delicious. In the next week, I introduced 3 others to Sugarbaby's. My fiancee and mother loved the mini bundt cake with chocolate ganache icing. My mom is super-picky and loves to criticize-- she ate her own bundt cake and stole some of my fiancee's. My daughter and I have tried different flavors every time: Va-Va Vanilla, Carrot Cake (Unbelievable!!!), and Chocolate covered strawberry. My little girl loves to go there after I pick her up from school and we have a nice time sitting at the bar by the window and people watching while we spilt the cupcakes. I personally think Sugarbaby's is super-yummy, very special, and I look forward to making it a stop for me and my little girl, or to give the cupcakes as gifts in the future. I implore those who read these reviews to determine where they want to go, look at all of the reviews, but to understand that I am a super treat fiend, and I wouldn't lead you astray. If you love buttercream icing then you don't have to think twice. Get your glass of milk and head to Sugarbaby's
- Pros: Buttercream
BEST CUPCAKES EVER

I love going to Sugarbabies and I recommend it to everyone I know! I have had the Velvet Rogue Cupcakes, Carrot Cake, Va-Va Vanilla, and other and everytime I am happy. I ordered the Velvet Rogue for a party with some friends and they were ready right on time, I even had a few left over and they kept well for a few days while I snacked on them. Everyone who works there is nice and it is never a disappointment!
- Pros: Dessert
- Cons: Parking
Sub-Par for a gormet bakery

I never, ever, post reviews on places that I go - good or bad. But I had to this time. I must say that I agree with those posts which say the cupcakes are dry. I went to each lunch with a co-worker of mine and when we passed Sugarbaby's I said we must stop on the way back to pick up a treat for our afternoon coffee. We bought the the Dippety Do Dah, the Lemon, the 24 Carat Cake, the Chocolate Rouge, the Neopolitian, and the Pina Colada. I know from experience that chocolate cake in general can be difficult to make moist. But all of the ones that we chose were dry. In addition, the cake itself was "flat" no really flavor to it. You almost needed the too sweet frosting to compliment the no flavor cake. We won't be back...because we were both very disappointed.
- Pros: Atmosphere
- Cons: Not very good
Sugarbabies is Heavenly!!!!

Don't bother going to other cupcake places here in Houston! Sugarbabies has the BEST, the richest, and the cutest cupcakes around. Really great, girly atmosphere, and very nice staff. Excellent service! I brought my daughter from Seattle for a cupcake and she loved the place. BTW, we tried other cupcake places in Houston, and liked Sugarbabies best by far.
- Pros: You'll want to eat a dozen by yourself!
