   I'm not a "sweets" person, but was looking for a small dessert treat for a special night. A friend recommended the mini-cupcakes at Sugar to a Tea and OMG they were little bites of heaven. Not the bland things you get at other places around town... The cake was moist and tasty, and the butter cream frosting on top was to die for. I can't wait for another special occasion :)

   Psst... It's "Coffee to a Tea with Sugar." Yes, their cupcakes are good, and they do an excellent job frosting them. I also like that they can serve wine! :-) That said, I still stick to my Cupcake Royale when I get the (1-2x/year) craving. I worked there when it first opened and gotta stay loyal to Ms. Jody Hall.

   You can also think of them as Sugar Rush Baking Company

   I agree re Coffee to a Tea cupcakes - yummy! And the employees are genuinely cool, without the attitude. Plus, it's kid-friendly, but not in a loud, out-of-control way.

   Literally spent my entire afternoon there. They NEVER rush you (even while they're closing) and the cupcakes are amazing. The coffee/tea/italian sodas/hot chocolate AND chai are all to die for. Love the baristas...

   I absolutely love this place. The coffee and cupcakes are great and the baristas always make me feel welcome. Plus the kid area offers a great escape for my toddler when it's blustery outside.

   Agreed! C2aT rocks. They were able to put out a pirate themed set of cupcakes for my kid's first birthday party that were fun for the older kids and tasted GREAT to the adults.

   You should know that they do (did) three sizes of cupcakes! Large for the BD kid, regular and minis for the crowd.

   As a parent, I also appreciate that they have hired a local mom to come hang out and clean the toys in the back. It's not fancy, but the kids are comfortable, the parents congregate in the back area, and the toys are CLEAN. Hooray!

   They make great cupcakes and other goodies. I really want to thank them for the wonderful cake they donated to our Seattle Civic Concert Dancers
   Family fun night, with my school logo on top! What a great suprise.
   You'll have to ask Carolyn Smith for a bite, she's the lucky one who won, it looked yummy!
   Thank you to all the other wonderful Merchants and families of West Seattle for their kind donations!

    They did my wedding cake about 2 years ago. At the time, the price was super competitive (or better) with the other places we contacted. They had such a lovely cake tasting for us and were so well organized and extremely professional. We received many raves about the cake itself from our guests. I have always enjoyed going there and they have great day old treats for only 50 cents!

    And not only are the treats tasty - I love the frosting too - but they host live music on weekends evenings (Friday I think). I haven't had a chance lately to go listen, but it was such a comfortable, low-key evening venue. Many nice evenings spent there. It was free, btw. Hoping that is still the case.

    Regardless, delectable mini's for certain.

    I haven't had the cupcakes but I have had the lime bars a couple time and really like them. One of my friends is in a jazz quintet that has played there a couple of times on Friday evenings and it has always been free.
