Welcome to Sugar & Spine

Sugar & Spine is our in-house bookstore tucked right inside Bake Me Happy in Madison, North Carolina. It’s the perfect excuse to slow down: browse a few shelves, find your next read, and reward yourself with something sweet (because reading without snacks is just homework).

Whether you’re popping in for a quick pick-me-up or planning to linger with a drink and a chapter, we built Sugar & Spine to feel warm, welcoming, and just a little magical.
