I have stopped here on several occasions and have had great friendly service every single time. My family has tried several different items from Sugar Coated Bakery and all of them have been wonderful. We had the pleasure of trying their regular cinnamon rolls, cannolis, macrons, cupcakes, and frosted sugar cookies. The pricing I feel is very fair. The treats are very consistent in both size and flavor. You don’t get two sugar cookies that are differently sized or that differ in flavor from one day to the next. They have the added bonus of occasionally keeping items at the Daily Grind coffee shop located next door so even on weekends when they may not be open you still have the opportunity to grab a special treat!
I have included a couple of photos in this review that I have honestly taken from their social media as I have not photographed any of the treats that we bought. Photos are of a cinnamon roll, the sugar cookies, and some cupcakes. They make so much more but here is just a sprinkling.

We stopped in to grab treats for the vet amd team. (Riverbank Animal hospital, they’re amazing. We went for cookies but unfortunately there were no cookies. We ended up buying them out of donuts and the ones we tried were amazing. The vet team all were thrilled with the treats and the smiles they had after biting into the donuts was worth it.

Donut selection was unbelievable. 16-20 different varieties of the most delicious looking donuts I’ve ever seen. Wish I could’ve tried them all! Extremely friendly service as well makes this a must stop if in the Kinston area.

Cream puffs are delicious! Pastry is light and airy and the cream is smooth and not too sweet. The other options I have tried have been good as well.

This place is fantastic! Probably my favorite donuts on earth so far, and no, that’s not an exaggeration. They have a limited selection of flavors and options, but they are all fantastic. The cream filled donuts are a special outlier to me. Big chains like Dunkin and Krispy Kreme poke a hole in the donut and fill it, Usually resulting in one bite with no cream, and the next bite with all the cream. THESE fantastic desserteers split the donut in half, slather in some cream, and put it back like a sandwich. It’s odd, it’s a little messy sometimes, but it is BY FAR the better way of doing cream filled donuts IMO. I’d give 6 stars if I could.

First time here and it was worth it, a friend and old me about it. Picked up a few donuts and apple fritters. Delicious. I will visit the cafe for a breakfast sandwich and coffee. It is adjoining the bakery, on my next trip and then rate it also.

Sugar Coated Bakery is absolutely wonderful! I have yet to find a better doughnut anywhere. Not to mention The Sasser Family and their employees are just as sweet as their baked goods!
If you haven’t been to Sugar Coated Bakery or the family’s adjoining business, Daily Grind Café, do yourself a favor and visit.
You can thank me later! ☕

Came in yesterday to try the desserts the selection was nice. I got the oeey goey cake, cinnamon spice cake with cream cheese and another cake labeled B-Day cake. The ooey goey cake bar was great but the B-day cake was spoiled and old. I asked the cashier what was special about it and she said it had a different icing that made it taste like birthday cake but looking back it definitely must have just been old cake that they boxed up and sat in the front of the display to quick. Even though the ooey gooey bar was good I will not be returning. Spoiled cake ?? Fr?
