Sugar Fox is a neighborhood ice cream shop and bakery that offers a warm and fun atmosphere with pops of color and moments of whimsy.

The service counter translates into a compact and functional workspace, offering guests several flavors of ice cream, soft serve, and cakes, along with a variety of cone, cup, and sprinkle accessories.
