Best cupcakes ever! I am very picky when it comes to cupcakes I look for 2 things in particular:
1. A nice and light fluffy cake (not a dense cake)
2. A light whipped frosting (not a dense buttercream frosting)
This place has the fluffiest cupcakes with amazing whipped frostings! They have a variety of every day flavors as well as flavors that change daily (you can find the flavors of the day on their facebook page).
My personal favorite one that I will get every time regardless to the flavor of the day is the chocolate peanut butter cupcake (it is a mouthwatering chocolate cake with a whipped peanut butter filling topped with a light and fluffy peanut butter frosting).
Also don’t forget to get their punch card for a free treat ever so often!

The cupcakes are great, however they have an awful policy for a small business in a small city. The day I became engaged, I wanted their cupcakes at our wedding. However, we were told by the manager that we must get all our desserts from them because of a liability concern (this was a lie). Then, they stated it was because they have a non compete policy. Our friend is making our wedding cake so they would not let us buy cupcakes for our wedding. Very upset with this business. They easily gave up a $ 300 order.

Delicious! The prices are a little high but definitely worth it! We had many compliments on the birthday cake that we ordered and the cupcakes are outstanding! They have great customer service. Best bakery in town!

I have been searching for a bakery with some gluten free goods and finally found one! I had the gluten free cupcake (similar to a Hostess cupcake) and it was phenomenal! You would never be able to tell that it was gluten free! I would highly recommend these gluten free cupcakes for any occasion.

I would give Sugarjones 3.5 stars, with the 2.5 star signifying «I’ve experienced better, but for what it’s worth, it’s not bad,» and the other 1 star for offering GLUTEN-​FREE cupcakes (yay!).
I found the cupcakes to be a tad too dry. Being a sugar connoisseur, I would say dessert evaluations are my forte (being a baker, I’m my own harshest critic). A good cupcake has flavor, a great cupcake is moist and soft, and an excellent cupcake has a balanced composition of all the above. Sugarjones cupcakes do have flavor, but they are a bit dry and can’t hold the weight of the butter cream as well.
What they may lack in the cake base, they definitely make up in creativity. Their flavor combinations work really well! I’ve tasted the churro, Mochaccino, and the Rootbeer float; the tastes were on point. And, if you’re not in the mood for cupcakes, they also offer cake pops, so hey-​o!

We received a couple of these excellent donuts at Rockford Midway Village after our tour of the Frank Lloyd Wright Laurent House. I’m not that big a fan of cupcakes but this was perfectly sized (we split it anyway), moist and not the total sugar grease bomb cupcakes usually are. The Peanut Butter cupcake actually has dollops of peanut butter in it.
Highly recommended even if you have to officially pay for one. I think it’s smart to pay a little more for a smaller better donut.
Thanks SugarJones. PLEASE make small rhubarb pies or scones next?

This is a great little bakery. Every town needs somewhere they can go when you need the combination of flour, sugar and eggs whipped into cupcake bliss.
They have a specialty cupcake featured for every day of the week which is nice. The featured cupcake for the day I went was the, GLUTEN FREE might I add, salted caramel chocolate cupcake. My friend ordered the cookie dough which is a regularly featured cupcake and the popular churro. All were spectacular. The buttercream frosting was so light, not heavy like I expected. The chocolate caramel and churro came with an «edible pearl» on top. The cookie dough came with a cookie on top. Which was a nice touch. I’ve heard the red velvet is phenomenal. I can’t wait to try it the next time I go.
Overall this is a great little place. I wish there was more seating inside. It would be nice if they also offered coffee for those who aren’t feeling like a cupcake. But overall a great place to check out if you’re in the area.

I love this place! Their cupcakes are very tasty. The churro cupcake is one of my favorites! I love how they have two special cupcake flavors each day. They are usually very good and different from anything else they sell anywhere else.
In addition to the cupcakes, their pies and tiramisu are AMAZING! Definitely a good place to go if you are craving something sweet.

Came here yesterday as a study break while studying for the bar and was so glad I did. My friend and I got four cupcakes: 2 black and whites, the churro, and cherry limeade. My friend loved his black and white and I thought the churro was fantastic. The frosting of the cupcakes is what made these delicious. I wanted to try the Twix cupcake, but they had already sold out… guess I’ll have to come back again ;-)
I wasn’t impressed with the cherry limeade and would’ve given it a 4.5 stars, but Unilocal doesn’t let you.
Overall, definitely come here. Especially if you’re studying for the bar and losing your sanity.

I ordered a birthday cake thru here and it was sooooo good. Decorating was top notch too. Worth the $!

In all fairness I only had one cupcake, red velvet. Didn’t love it… frosting was good but cake left me looking for more…

Wonderful service, nice staff and yummy cupcakes. There are so many choices between the specials and there everyday picks. Will definitely be coming back.

Great Cupcakes and awesome flavors. Love checking out Facebook to find flavors of the day!

Sugar Jones cupcakes are exceptional! Convenient parking. I love hometown businesses. They treat you right!

Well I can say that these cupcakes are I think the best that I’ve tasted in ROCKFORD Very moist and I must say that the Churro cupcake is def my favorite Its a cinnamon ish like streusel. Soo good … But I would just add that it would be nice to see a bigger sign of the flavor of the day because no one mentioned anything to me.

This place is amazing! I have told so many people about this place and have gone there quite a few times (enough to fill up almost 2 of their punchcards). $ 2.50 is kind of expensive for one cupcake, but they are worth it and considering they’re that fresh, it’s not a bad price. My favorite everyday flavor is the Churro, it’s just so good. I can’t even count all of the different flavors I’ve had and I always look forward to their Facebook postings to see what their specials are for the week! I’m super excited that they’re opening up a second location closer to my work (although this is probably not a good thing for my diet) and look forward to all of the new things coming from them in the future! I will not hesitate to go back again!

One word for these cupcakes DELICIOUS !!!
I look forward to the cupcake announcements on Face book.
These are the best cupcakes in town!
ENJOY

The place is no muss, no fuss establishment. You walk in, you get your cupcakes and you call it a day. They are only $ 2.50 each, for gourmet cupcakes that is a steal.
Their standard cupcakes are great. The frosting is delicious. However, I do not like going to a cupcake shop for a good standard cupcake.
I tried their Blueberry Crumble cupcake. The cupcake itself was delicious. The frosting put the «butter» in buttercream. It tasted like whipped butter you get on a cupcake. I know some people butter Blueberry Muffins. However, this was NOT a muffin. It was a cupcake, lighter and fluffier and the frosting left much to be desired.
If you are in Rockford, I would definitely go. Cupcakes are good for the soul!

I have told everyone I know about these cupcakes. I felt like these cupcakes were twice the taste and flavor of «Sprinkles» in Chicago. I have seen reviews on the attitude of the staff but haven’t had that experience. It’s a small staff starting a new company here in Rockford so I think they are busy but always are up for a hello and chat when I’ve walked in.
I will say that most of the flavors I tried were rich and delicate at the same time. The cupcakes have an unique balance of fluffiness and density. I also am different in my experience (and I go in about 3 times a week) in that I HAVE NEVER HAD A DRY BAKED GOOD FROM THERE. They are always perfectly balanced.
But, what I think is the true «gem» of this shop is the buttercream
Icing. I have never tasted a buttercream so light and fluffy. It adds a hint of sweetness along with a «slightly richer than whipped cream» texture.
My favorite flavors have been: chocolate with chocolate icing (an everyday), chocolate covered strawberry (a light chocolate cupcake topped with a light layer of chocolate ganache, chocolate swirl of chocolate icing and filled with a small amount of strawberry buttercream)(sounds a little richer than it is) and as usual the red velvet is a daily favorite!

Rockford has needed a place like this! The buttercream is the best I’ve tasted. You can actually taste the butter. There are everyday flavors like red velvet and churro and daily specials like tiramisu. I’ll warn you though, once you try one-you’re hooked!
