As a kid in Brooklyn, Blythe Dim loved visiting her grandfather’s sweet shop, where everyone in the neighborhood went for the best candy, malted milk shakes and coffee. In August of 2007, Blythe opened her own version of that delicious childhood hangout: Cream & Sugar, a custom-order bakery / candy shop / coffee spot at 4004 Spruce St.

 

It’s impossible to read the menu or stand in front of the glass showcases without salivating. Amaretto cheesecake. Bavarian apple tart. Pumpkin bread pudding. Chocolate-covered pretzels. Cupcakes. Cookies. Fudge. Bagels with fresh cream cheese "schmears." And don’t forget La Colombe coffee and espresso.

 

Cream & Sugar offers gift baskets, seasonal deserts, and trays for meetings or offices. Deliveries to hospitals in University City are no problem. As a University City resident, Blythe is also very supportive of the local community.
