Hey Sugar on Strawberry Hill

What a cute little ice cream shoppe! My daughter and I popped over the border of Kansas City, MO, so we could say we made it to Kansas. This quaint spot reminds me of a 50s candy store. Packed full of old school candies and treats, Hey Sugar also had about 16 different flavors of ice cream, including Sweet Corn, which we had to try. They feature floats and shaved ice as well as Agua Frescas. The brightly colored walls and paintings are inviting and fun. There's a corner for the kiddos complete with books and toys. There is indoor seating for about 2 dozen people. We're glad we stopped.

Wow! A Candy and Ice Cream that delivers the real deal!! My first time in I devoured a generous single of blueberry cheesecake ice cream. They just are full on joyful!

I love the different variety of ice cream & how they switch up the flavors every once in a while. This trip I got the homemade vanilla and strawberry cheesecake. Both great options, ice cream stays cold for a significant amount of time, with a nice firm consistency. Not too soft, just the right amount of chewyness!

Excellent ice cream and great service!

Genuinely disappointed. I’ve wanted to come here for a long time. It’s a cute spot, but the experience really left a bad taste in my mouth.

I asked for two scoops in a cone, and I’m not sure if there was some confusion, but the employee (who seemed new and visibly sick) gave me maybe 1/6 of a scoop for the first one. When I questioned it, the manager said you only get one scoop for a single. But I had asked for two scoops, and even then, what I got barely counted as one. No one had anything to say in response.

Meanwhile, my husband ended up with a huge scoop of ice cream without any issue. I’m the pregnant one, and I left so upset I threw mine away and went to Baskin Robbins, because at least there, they know how to scoop.

I support local and small businesses, and I really wanted to love this place. But this just felt like a total miss. Maybe it was an off day or a training issue, but it left me feeling frustrated and disappointed and honestly close to tears. Maybe it's silly but i was genuinely so excited and let down. I still tipped bc thats who i am, but I won’t be back, and that sucks, because the reviews made it seem like such a great spot.

Incredible Ice Cream! Went in on a warm Sunday afternoon and it was perfect. Lots of other great things in here too. Definitely worth the trip.

Absolutely adorable interior and the staff was extremely helpful. My shake was so delicious and made with local ice-cream

This is some of the best ice cream I’ve ever eaten! We loved the blackberry, lemon bar, pb cup and dairy free chocolate! And what a cute, inviting space. All around great place to visit!

I was so happy with the service and really enjoyed the blueberry cheesecake ice cream as well as the strawberry "chiefs" cake. Very satisfied and can't wait to come again!

5 stars isn't enough for the delightful experience I had at Hey Sugar! This charming candy, sweets, and ice cream shop is a must-visit destination for anyone with a sweet tooth. But what truly made my visit exceptional was the outstanding service from my server, Alejandra! Her bright personality and warm smile lit up the entire shop, making me feel like a valued customer from the moment I walked in. Alejandra's attentive and friendly nature made the experience even sweeter (pun intended!). And speaking of sweet, the treats here are TO DIE FOR! From the colorful array of candies to the creamy ice cream flavors, every bite was pure bliss. If you haven't visited Hey Sugar! yet, do yourself a favor and stop by - and ask for Alejandra, she'll take care of you like royalty!
