About This Business

Shugga Hi Bakery & Cafe, located at 1000 Dickerson Pike in Nashville, TN, is a family-owned business that spreads love through its food. Founded by sisters Sandra Austin and Kathy Leslie, the cafe is a reflection of their childhood experiences, where their mother, Catherine, would prepare delicious homemade dinners and desserts for the family. The sisters' love of food began at a young age, and they would often gather around the table to enjoy their mother's cooking and spend quality time together. After their mother's passing, Sandra and Kathy decided to open Shugga Hi to share that same love and warmth with their community. Despite having no prior restaurant experience, the sisters were determined to create a welcoming atmosphere where customers could feel like they were part of the family. Shugga Hi has been featured in various local publications and was even selected as a sponsor for the 2019 NFL Draft. The cafe is open Friday through Sunday from 9 AM to 2 PM and offers a variety of menu options, including their famous chicken and waffles. Sandra and Kathy strive to provide great food with great customer service, making every customer feel appreciated and at home. Their mission is to make Shugga Hi a staple in the Nashville community, where people can come together to enjoy good food and warm hospitality. With their catering services and upcoming events, such as the Shugga Hi Jazzy Brunch Buffet, the sisters aim to continue spreading love and making a positive impact on their community. As Sandra Austin once said, 'We want you to walk in and feel like you’re at home, feel like you’re appreciated, and get great food with great customer service.' This philosophy is at the heart of everything Shugga Hi does, and it has helped the cafe become a beloved institution in Nashville. Whether you're a local or just visiting, Shugga Hi Bakery & Cafe is a must-visit destination for anyone looking for a warm and welcoming dining experience.
