For the Love of Sugar
100 Erskine St, Detroit, MI
Crema's Take
“This Brush Park gem is a beloved dessert destination where the pastries and sweets have maintained their quality for years, making it a must-visit before catching a show at Little Caesars Arena just five minutes away. The colorful, vibrant space draws both solo coffee drinkers and couples looking for a date spot, with an impressive selection of gluten-free options alongside their reliable traditional drinks and consistently excellent baked goods. What keeps people coming back is the genuine warmth of the staff who manage the crowd with kindness, even when working solo during rush times.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

9/21/25: Came before a symphony concert I was attending. They had a lot of gluten-free options, so that's great if you have those allergies, since there's quite a bit to choose from. I just got regular stuff. I got a strawberry refresher, a couple of macarons, and a blueberry…
Took my wife out for a date at For the Love of Sugar. The spot is colorful and good vibes. Plenty of cakes and sweets, cookies and brownies along with coffee and drinks. My wife got carrot cake. I got macaroons, Mac-a-ROOOooooons. The purple ones are Honey and lavender and…
