This is a hidden gem - the owners of this bakery started out with their Iconic Sugar Philly food truck (been around for almost a decade). This is their first physical location! The french pastries are top-class: macaroons, gourmet cakes and donuts, macaroon sandwich ice-creams, changing daily flavors!
