Crema's Take

Sugar Pine is a refreshing blend of specialty coffee and modern Japanese cuisine that feels like discovering a secret gem in Austin. Beyond their expertly crafted espresso drinks like affogatos and cortados, they've carved out a distinctive niche with exceptional Japanese treats—think onigiri and delicate desserts—plus rotating ice cream flavors that pair beautifully with their coffee. The space feels genuinely welcoming whether you're ducking in for a quick caffeine fix, settling in for a leisurely meal with friends, or bringing your dog along for the experience.

I had such a nice meal here today! It was my first visit and Stef was SO helpful and gave me the BEST recommendations! I got two Onigiri 🍙 to-go which I can't wait to try!! And I had a bowl of pan fried udon noodles with vegetables and tofu! 😋 oh my gosh! The vegetables were so bright and beautiful and the flavor was great! The atmosphere was so perfectly relaxing. Thank you again Stef!

Incredible Modern Japanese Treats – A Must-Visit for Unique Flavors! I highly recommend Sugar Pine for anyone looking for exceptional modern Japanese desserts and cuisine. Their ice cream is a total standout because they develop all their own unique flavors. You won't find the typical options here; instead, they offer creative combinations like Miso Caramel and White Chocolate Thai Tea, both of which are absolutely delicious and perfectly balanced. Besides the sweets, I’ve also tried their hot food, and the Tonkatsu (fried pork cutlet) is definitely above average—crispy, tender, and very satisfying. The interior design is very modern, bright, and impeccably clean, making it a great spot to hang out or grab a quick meal. If you enjoy exploring contemporary Japanese dishes with a creative twist, this place is a gem. It’s clear that they put a lot of heart into their recipes and the overall atmosphere. I will definitely be coming back to see what new flavors they come up with next!

Tried only the affogato and cortado, and both were great. Loved the variety of ice cream options available. Definitely planning to come back next time to try their food.

Absolutely love this place. Onigiri and set dishes are my favorite. They're really good. Seatings indoor only. Place is clean and spacious. And they also have ice cream.

This place is fantastic!! My partner and I love stopping by and either having a sweet treat, or a delicious meal! The staff is always kind and helpful, it's such a jem of a place! Can't wait to come back for some more oniguri or black sesame seed ice cream! 💜
