Crema's Take
“Sugar House nails the impossible balance of being a serious specialty coffee spot that doubles as an upscale cocktail lounge, so you can sip a legitimately excellent Spanish latte or matcha alongside espresso martinis in a beautifully designed space. The vibe is pure lounge with comfortable seating built for lingering, making it ideal if you want to work, date, or just exist somewhere that feels intentionally curated rather than generic. Fair warning: this is more bar than coffee shop, so adjust your expectations accordingly if you're hunting a traditional café experience.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Open late.

Cute bar with a great little drink menu. I love espresso martinis and this one was yummy. Great decor, comfy couches, even a few outdoor tables, check it out!!! Love the name since our Maltese dogs name is Sugar. 😁
Coffee and matcha are legit and v v good. We had the Spanish latte, peach mango matcha, and the brown sugar cortado and they were all really great. Would come back here, especially great for working. Lots of bar seating with easy to access to plugs (and the stools have backs).…
Great little place, open and inviting with friendly staff. Plenty of comfortable seating. If you like the bright white clean vibe like you are in a bathroom or kitchen. There is nothing wrong with this and I just prefer darker warmer colors if it’s going to be space I want to…
