THE Real Deal Bakery. First off, I LOVE the mural on the side of this bakery. It's great to see business owners incorporate art into their space, and too few do it externally. S.S. has got rotating art installations inside about once a month, too. Very cool. Anyway, onto the review...

It's a fabulous thing to have access to an actual homestyle bakery in this neighborhood. I lived in Roosevelt, and nothing quite cut it -- every coffee shop and cafe seemed to have the same commercial bakery offerings. But Sugar Shack? Now, THIS is the real McCoy. The following list is filled with just a few of the things I've indulged on this past year, and every last thing was fresh and fantastic: scones, muffins, cinnamon rolls, pies, cookies, bread pudding, quiche, made-to-order sandwiches, soups, crazy layer cookie bar thing that I almost went to heaven over, and awesome juices (Some crazy fresh stuff they get from somewhere local, I think? Don't remember the name, but it's great!). I've tried so much, but it's not even all of their menu! Plus, they serve up great coffee no matter what you order. There is definitely a reason behind all of the buzz (reason = really good, friendly, busy bee owner and bakers). Don't skip it.

Best scones and the coolest staff.... This is one of those neighborhood places that you fall into and become a regular. The relaxed vibe, fantastic coffee, delicious pastries ( the peach & raspberry scones rock), and the friendly staff will make you feel welcome from the minute you walk through the door. One of the best things is sitting in the corner digging into a bowl of homeade soup and a fat wedge of cheesy quiche goodness and calling that a perfect lunch...You are fed well here.

This cheerful bakery adds a touch of sweetness and light to Lake City Way.. In Short
Classic treats follow a traditional American menu: cupcakes, pies, cinnamon rolls, oversized cookies, and scones dressed up with berries, cheese and streusel. Carefully made espresso or strong drip coffee makes a perfect accompaniment to the sweet and buttery goodness waiting in the pastry cases. Made-to-order deli sandwiches and fresh soups round out the goodies.
