Shuga's completely blew us away with its unique flavors and warm atmosphere. We ordered the Cuban Sandwich with Shrimp Soup, the Chicken Sandwich with Shrimp Soup, and the Bo Kho--and everything was perfect.The sandwiches and soups were already fantastic on their own, but dipping the sandwiches into the soup elevated the flavors to a whole new level. The Bo Kho, in particular, was a pleasant surprise, very authentic.To top it all off, we shared a slice of their almond cake with homemade vanilla bean whipped cream, and it was light, flavorful, and the perfect sweet finish to the meal. We're definitely planning to come back, especially to try their 1/2 off cocktails after 11 PM.

A few of my coworkers and I flew in to Colorado Springs for a business trip and one of the local business partners said we had to check out Shuga's. We came as a party of 4 around 6:30pm without a reservation so we had to wait, which was no problem for us as we were seated within 20 minutes.The restaurant has a unique look to it. From the outside, it reminded me of Beetlejuice with the slime-green and deep red trimming. The interior seems small since the bar takes up half the space of the main dining area. It's very snug inside. I liked the various Shuga's posters by years but I wasn't a fan of the skeletons and origami paper crane decor - it was sorta creepy with the dimmed lighting for dinner.We ordered and our server was friendly. We let her know that we wanted the Mully's Picnic and to leave out the nuts. I'm thankful she left it out due to my allergies. I ordered a Shuga's Ginger-Lemon Tea (Iced) and it was intense yet I found myself to enjoy it. I also ordered the Northwest Pita with Otto Melon Gazpacho. Unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of the gazpacho. It tasted like someone who made salsa for the first time and dropped pieces of watermelon, and decided to add an extra splash of water - no thanks! However, I absolutely LOVED the Northwest Pita!! It was one of the best items I had during this trip. The Northwest Pita had house-smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers, cucumbers, hard-boiled eggs, red onion, greens, and crème fraîche on grilled pita. It was flavorful, had various textures, and was just so delicious!! If it weren't for my new allergies, I would've loved to order the Spicy Brazilian Coconut Shrimp Soup - my colleagues surely enjoyed theirs.Overall, we enjoyed our dinner at Shuga's. They seem to have a great team that work well together. And having happy servers makes for an enjoyable dining experience.

The food was great and our server very friendly, if not exactly knowledgeable about the beers or the menu. Both the food and the beer were great. The only downside was that we were looking for a quieter, more chill, and quieter atmosphere. We had to shout to have a conversation with our dinner companions. It was exhausting. We chose Shuga's in particular because they were listed as having a quiet atmosphere . Maybe we just hit an unusual time.

Loved this place!! Delicious food and it was reasonably priced. I can't wait to go back. The waiter was nice and we were seated in the back of the restaurant in this whole other separate building. It was a great place to catch up with my friends. I want to try all the food on the menu!!

I came in around 1pm on Friday by myself. Kind of a hipster/eccentric decor inside with a bar on the right side when you enter. It was pretty packed inside, but since it was just me, I was able to get seated in the corner within a few minutes. I ordered the El Gaucho sandwich and a cup of spicy Brazilian coconut shrimp soup. I ended waiting about 20 minutes for the food to arrive, which is a little longer than I expected, especially given that a few tables had already been cleared by then. The sandwich itself was delicious, but on the smaller side. The soup was also nice and hearty, not too spicy. I felt sated by the end of the meal, but would have liked to been a little more full for $20

Super cute, super cool, and super yummy. Loved that we stopped in today for a gorgeous fall lunch with friends. First, props to the staff as Shuga's was packed to the gills and yet, they still continued to seat folks and find nooks and cranny to offer. They operated like a well oiled machine and no, attentiveness to us, checking on how things were going and even checking the water levels on the table didn't suffer. Second, loved our waiter. He was such a helpful dude to get just the right menu items in front of us. We trusted him with our final selections and he was spot on. I ordered Shuga's Fav Tray and man, there is a reason it's called their "favorite." This tray had it all - the salad was really tasty, all the way to the almond butter cake. If you want a little of this and a little of that, if you're a fan of Mediterranean, this is your dish. I left not one thing on that plate, lol. The place - such an eclectic, funky and cool vibe. I loved the random decor and all the seating options. I can't wait to return to check out the back patio seating and that cocktail menu. Oh, and the jalapeño bacon mac and cheese is already on my "next time" list. Such a gem.

While I loved the food here (especially the spicy shrimp soup), there was one major thing that turned this place from a 5 star into a 3 star. They failed to mention at all that the spicy shrimp soup had peanuts even though one person in our party had an allergy and mentioned it ! This is so dangerous but luckily we smelled the peanuts in the soup and then double checked with another waiter who mentioned that it did. They were nice enough to swap it for a salad but bummer since that was one of the dishes we all came in to try. Additionally, brunch is on weekends (no lunch) so the menu was a little different than expected but no real complaints there. They also do close between brunch and dinner, saw a few people get turned away since they were closing soon!

It was cute dining here, like you are at someone's house. We came here for a walk in and there was a bit of a wait. I had the sampling tray, the soup was my favorite. I wish the bread in the bruschetta was toasted. The pie was also good. Service was nice.

My go-to restaurant which we have been visiting since it opened. I always recommend Shuga's to any visitor I meet. Love all the quirky decor and friendly staff.
