My hallelujah belongs to you…

Since Thanksgiving is coming up, let me tell y’all about this bakery & cafe my boyfriend and I visited when we were in Tennessee. We were actually looking for a quick place to get breakfast, of course not from McDonald’s, when we stumble upon Shugga Hi Bakery and Cafe in our google search. We saw the menu and the prices were decent so we decided to go there before we headed out to explore Nashville. When we arrived, we did not expect the unexpected.
About Shugga Hi Bakery and Cafe…
Meet sisters, Kathy and Sandra, the owners and creators of Shugga Hi Bakery and Café. Their love of food began way back when their mother, Catherine, would prepare delicious homemade dinner and desserts for the family. She would always let the girls try a little dessert before their meal, which was always a tasty treat. Sandra greatly admired her mother’s cooking skills and would love to help mama prepare her meals. She soon became quite the chef of her own. While inheriting her mother’s tasty recipes and adding a little twist of her own, Sandra and Kathy decided to build a family legacy and create an opportunity for all of Nashville to experience a little taste of what they were blessed to have as young children. Opening their doors in the summer of 2017, Shugga Hi Bakery and Café brings everything from Mama’s delicious home-style recipes to Sandra and Kathy’s custom creations. They take pride in treating their guests like family and serving you as if you were at their home dinner table. Keeping Mama’s tradition, it’s always recommended that you have taste of dessert first before your meal. This one is promised not to spoil your appetite!
Hours
Shugga Hi Bakery and Café are only open on Thursday – Saturday from 9AM – 5PM and Sundays from 9AM – 2PM with live music on Saturday & Sundays from 9AM – 2PM.
The Unexpected —
Upon our arrival, we were greeted by the hostess and received a table. She mentioned today was buffet style and the price was about $30+ per person. Immediately we were shocked. Not only from the price that was given, but what was stated on their website. I mentioned the misunderstanding and now when I look at the site the mistake of not noticing that Sundays are called Jazz N Eggs Sunday Brunch. I guess that means buffet style since the other days they are open must be when they have the regular menu available.
We wanted to dismiss ourselves and find a different location to grab breakfast from because we did not plan to spend $30+ per person for breakfast since we only had one day left in Nashville. The hostess asked if we would like to speak to the owner and we did to let her know that we mean no disrespect in leaving. The owner greeted us with a warm smile and asked us where we were from and chatted with us. Her presence gave off great vibes and she told us our bill is on the house. We thanked her and enjoyed the delicious food that was prepared buffet style.
The brunch consisted of all sorts of breakfast and dinner foods such as eggs, bacon, potatoes, cabbage, mac & cheese, fish, etc. When we sat down to eat, we started to feel bad. For one, it was a black owned business and we wanted to support it. We decided to ask the server for our bill and the server said, “Don’t mess up your blessing. Just remember to pay it forward.” With that being said, Shugga Hi Bakery and Café truly blessed us on that Sunday morning and we are forever grateful for their hospitality.
