Established in 2001. Shuga's was created by Alexius Weston as a place to hang out with great food and really inventive cocktails. She had just come from the Northwest area of the country and wanted to create a cool space where she felt comfortable. Initially focusing on Vivace espresso as a delicious mainstay, the place soon morphed into serving amazing paninis, salads, and the out-of-this-world Brazilian Coconut Shrimp Soup. The infusion of Lavender Martinis and cocktails created with care helped launch Shuga's into the forefront of the local Colorado Springs food scene.Established in 2001.

I had gone to Shuga's over a year ago on a Saturday afternoon, had a decent sandwich and was mildly impressed. I went back a couple of months ago for lunch with a friend on my recommendation. I was very embarrassed that my suggested place was so bad. We were an hour lunch from work and it was 15 minutes before we even got a waiter to serve us. We were both shocked at the prices, but figured...ok maybe it's fabulous food. WRONG! It was precious little, a very mediocre sandwich on bread that was so hard, we could barely eat it. There were no sides served with the meal and it was a very tiny portion. The waiter was flitting about, laughing and giggling with the rest of the waitstaff and more interested in socializing than serving his customers. It took us 40 min to get our meal and and another 20 minutes to get our ticket so we could pay and get out of there. All in all, our 1 hour lunch turned into a 2 hour, disappointing fiasco. Shugas should worry more about the quality of their food, and waitstaff and less on trying to create an artsy, elitist atomsphere.
