Sugarbird Sweets

I will be honest with you… I almost didn’t want to write a review for this place. I don’t want to share my hiding place and want to keep this place to myself.
Sugarfish it not the only sweet thing in town. There is another sweet place called Sugarbird Sweet in downtown LA.
A little bird from Eko Eats told me about Sugarbirds. I ate a matcha cookie at Eko and found out that it’s actually from Sugarbird. I remember walking around downtown LA and saw Sugarbird Sweets sign on the street. It’s time to visit this Sugarbird…
SPOILER ALERT: I LOVE THIS PLACE.
Lavender toast ($ 5.00): a delicious combination of mascarpone cheese with honey, sprinkled with dried lavender buds on top. It’s wonderful to see 3 of my favorite ingredients on a piece of carb: mascarpone, honey and lavender. I enjoyed every bite of honey and the lavender nicely perfumed the bread. Awaken your senses and taste buds with this toast. Do not get this if you don’t like the scent of flower on your food. One more thing… the lavender leaves a bitter note. Too bad the toast was cold :(I sent it back twice for them to heat it up. Call me crazy, but I was expecting a warm bread when I saw the word toast.
Avocado sandwich ($ 5.00): The sandwich was also served cold. I was disappointed with this sandwich because the vinegar was overpowering everything else. The sandwich had a generous amount of avocado.
Pesto, artichoke & havarti grilled cheese ($ 8.95): finally a nice warm sandwich and it was delicious. The grilled cheese had a generous amount of fresh, tasty artichoke. I ordered this seasonal sandwich 3 times in a row. The sweet owner gave me pickles with my sandwich. The yummy pickles were a combination of cucumber, oliver and pearl onion.
Lavender white chocolate scone ($ 3.50): good, but I still have to try the matcha scone. It was better than most scones I’ve had for sure.
Earl Grey Shortbreads ($ 7.00): I liked this better than the scones. The scones were buttery, tasty and addictive.
Matcha Shortbreads ($ 7.00): I can’t remember if I liked the matcha more than the earl grey. I had to atop myself from eating 2 bags of them in one sitting.
Go inside the lobby, pass the security, don’t take the elevator, go to the back of the hallway and follow the sign. You will see a tiny café inside this office building.
Sugarbird Sweets = tiny café + good food + relaxing music + friendly service. Sugarbird is a little paradise in the heart of downtown LA.
QUICK TIP: 10% OFF YOUR FIRST MOBILE ORDER.
4 stars! I am a fan!
Sugarbirds Sweet is yummylicious!

BEST MATCHA SCONES EVER.
Let me restate it: Sugarbird Sweets’ matcha scones are heavenly! Little did I know I would discover my new favorite matcha sweets when I decided to take a detour and walk around the Larchmont Farmers’ Market last Sunday. Was this meant to be? haha. I bought four matcha scones and (accidentally) ate all of them that night. I’m definitely visiting their actual store sometime soon! :)

This is a best kept secret café in One Wilshire Building. I love their scones. So many variety of desserts. I keep wanting to try other menus. Love the service and their coffee — Americano!

Genuinely excellent scones! They have a variety of abnormal flavors (green tea, sesame-​white chocolate) and they taste like good, dense, textured scones and not like something gimmicky. Major points for that.
They are located in the back of a large office tower. You get there by bypassing the elevator banks and going through the service doors at the far side of the lobby. Strange, but kind of fun.
We also got salads, which were nicely done and homemade. Slightly bland, but a nice offset to the warm, buttery scone.

Just had the steak salad and in 4 words. «our of this world». Steak was cooked perfectly but the micro greens were fresh and tasty. Fully recommend.

I’ve seen Sugarbird Sweets at the Larchmont Farmer’s market and have tried out their Koa tea blend (Black tropical + Rose and lemongrass). The tea was slightly sweet and light, which I enjoyed.
I was excited to hear that they opened a location in dtla, tucked in the One Wilshire Building. I came here for lunch and got the Fig, Brie, and Arugula sandwich. The creaminess of the brie brought a nice contrast to the sweet fig and the herbiness and slight bitterness of the arugula.
My friends got the breakfast burrito and the breakfast bagel sandwich, which they both enjoyed.
I also tried their Lavander, White Chocolate scone, which was okay. The texture was good, but I didn’t like the addition of fennel seed in the scone.
I had the Green Tea scone, as well. It was satisfyingly sweet, but as a matcha lover, I wished it had a stronger matcha flavor.
I would come back for decently-​priced lunch items, teas, and to try out their other scones.

The scones are amazing. No doubt about that but one thing people don’t realize is that Sugarbird has a solid lunch menu as well. Delicious sandwiches and salads and soups. They even do an awesome Sandwich + Soup combo that includes your choice of iced tea or chips. My favorite sandwich is the BLT+Avo. So simple and yet so delicious. The lunch combo is very reasonably priced at around $ 8 (don’t quote me lol) and if you buy a scone with a lunch item, it’s $ 2 instead of $ 3! What a deal!
The place is a little hard to find though. It’s in the office building right next to the East West Bank on the intersection of Wilshire and Grand. Go in and turn left right before the turnstiles. From there just walk all the way down the corridor and you’ll end up behind the turnstiles. From there, go straight past the turnstiles on your right, and Sugarbird will be on your left!

The scones and teas here are amazing! I’ve never been a fan of scones but the ones here are delicious. I’ve tried the lavender white chocolate and the green tea. Green tea is by far my favorite. The first time I came here with my coworkers, the owner gave us complimentary condiments for our scones, one was a fig flavored and the other was a sweet cream. The teas and lemonade here doesn’t disappoint either. I love the hint of floral and fruit flavor. I definitely recommend this place if you have a sweet tooth.

Best scones in LA! They’re crisp on the outside and perfectly soft and moist on the inside. The flavors are amazing! Green tea white chocolate is my favorite and the lavender one feels like a spa in your mouth! Deliciousness!

LOVE the drinks here! I got a strawberry mint basil (?) lemonade that is one of the best drinks I’ve ever had. Instant favorite!

This place is awesome everybody working there is so friendly I had the best smoked salmon sandwich I would definitely go back and try more stuff thank you for good service

Most delicious scones and teas you will ever, ever have! Catering taste and presentation is absolutely delicious and delightful!

Customer service is outstanding. Always offering samples. More often than not they recommend exactly what I want.

Came here for iced coffee after lunch and met the owner. She offered us a sample of their blueberry lemon scone which my colleague really liked. After I mentioned that I could not eat carbs she gave us a couple coconut macroons for the road, which were delicious (was planning on only having a nibble since I cannot have sugars either, ended up eating the whole thing).
Definitely will be back to get my caffeine fix, it’s a shorter walk than Spring for Coffee.

Great, flavorful food. My fave is the blueberry-​lemon scone. it is the bomb-​bay! I have also tried their teas — delicious!

stopped by the storefront in DTLA because the chalkboard sign + logo were so enthralling at first glance.
likely the best scone i’ve ver tasted.
and they raise the bar on tea. seriously, i have never had iced tea like this. every soft sip was like whiffing a never-​before-​sniffed perfume and getting swept up in trying to pin down the different layers and notes of flavors and scents contained in that one moment’s song of a sip.
tra la la !!!

Sugarbird Sweets did a fabulous job catering a bridal shower. They did a formal tea and the scones, tea sandwiches and sweets were fabulous. Everything was perfect. The owner brings a modern style to her baked goods and the combinations are great.

So good! Try the matcha green tea with toasted brown rice it’s amazing: D

Review on scones only — I’m spoiled and these were brought to me at work.
I met these lovely scones on a Monday morning. Their presence was well received. I have made scones myself as well as have had scones from Starbucks. These were like angels fluttering in your mouth.
A coworker and I halved several of them — lavender, double chocolate, and another one which I think had feta in it. I really don’t know which ones I had, but if you want fluffy bits of heaven in your mouth on a Monday morning, I have come to understand that you must go to them on a Sunday (or weekend). They were the perfect amount of sweetness, consistency and size. If I had one to myself with my coffee, I would have been good for the first half of the morning.
I will definitely find the time to get these in the near future!

Get to the farmers market early as the run out of scones quickly!
Their scones are simply delicious. They have a lot of creative options like bacon and date, green tea white chocolate, feta chive and others. They also usually have a few gluten free products.
The green tea white chocolate and the white chocolate raspberry are to die for.
As of right now you can only buy their products from the Farmers Market 3 days a week at various locations but they mentioned that they would be opening a retail store in downtown L.A. soon.
