Sugarica:
New Location, Same Great Desserts
Sugarica dessert bakery has moved and is open for business at 324 Johnstone Ave! They've doubled their space, but this week's Walk-In Wednesday still had lines out the door - not surprising with almost 250 customers! Owner Dorothy Colaw says they are already setting new sales records -- sounds like downtown employees can't resist the new location. New additions to the menu include a variety of tarts, and Italian cannoli inspired by east-coast bakeries. Dorothy's favorite? Coconut cake. Hours remain the same for order reservations: Monday thru Friday, with Walk-In Wednesdays from 10am-3pm. Be on the lookout for changes in 2017! Nothing official yet -- but Walk-In Wednesdays could see extended hours for the after-school crowd, and you might even be able to get your Walk-In fix on more than one day of the week. Birthday parties and possibly even baking classes are also on the drawing board to take advantage of all the new space. Check out their Facebook page or Sugarica.com for all the latest news!
