This is a spot in my own backyard! I visit this spot often and love the friendliness as well as the service. I normally get the jacked up Java coffee.. and yes it works very well on days I’m tired. Place has a couple of seats but this is more of a grab and go place.

The atmosphere here was super fun. They’ve got some retro island vibes and it was definitely an experience to remember. The lady that spoke to us was super friendly and knowledgeable about their entire menu.
We got a mocha latte with coconut, masala chai frappe, chicken salad croissant, knuckle sandwich, and a cinnamon roll.
The mocha latte with coconut: well balanced, not too sweet. My husband was expecting decadent, but was pleasantly surprised at how smooth and balanced it was. The espresso shot was pulled pretty well and it wasn’t bitter.
The chai frappe: very good. It definitely felt like a treat, not just a frozen coffee. The lady shared they use a frappe powder, so it would make it more sweet, to which I was fine with. Overall a good chai, just wish it had a bit more of a kick with being labeled as “masala”.
Chicken salad croissant: the croissant was warmed up, which I thought was a nice touch. All the flavors blended really nicely.
Knuckle sandwich: good hearty sandwich with lots of flavor, but nothing that made it “extraordinary” in comparison to similar sandwiches elsewhere. If we’re being honest, it was not quite worth the $9. If there was any way it could be cheaper, like $6, it definitely would be worth that. It would definitely be a sandwich I’d come back for again. Same goes for the chicken salad croissant — overpriced.
Cinnamon Roll: well worth the price. They warmed it up and the icing was just the right amount and not overly sweet. It was nice and soft. Not the best cinnamon roll I’ve had (check out Olga’s Cinnamon Rolls if you’re ever in Gatlinburg 😜), but their price for it was definitely representative of it and very satisfied for that price.
Overall very good experience. A couple things that would’ve made this 5 stars, would be adjustment of pricing on a few items to reflect similar pricing to other places in comparison to quality, or adding something “special” or “unique” to the items to make them worth the price (like a special sauce or side).

This place has excellent regular-menu and seasonal drinks. Come the end of the month, we are always on their Instagram checking what the new drinks are. The breakfast sandwiches are reliable, and we are so excited about the lunch menu! As someone who doesn’t live here, I spend 80% of my mornings with Sugar Shaker when I’m in town. Thanks for the great service, and atmosphere, too!
Dietary restrictions: They’re good with accommodating if you mention you are dairy-free.

I'm bout to be honest, only reason I tried this place was because the new dunkin that opened on 422 is horrible service ... glad I did, this is the kinda place you wanna support in your community. Go home dunkin, we don't need you.

My family's go-to place! My kids love the smoothies, lemonade, and breakfast sandwiches. Sometimes the drive-thru line is long and it is faster to go inside.
