Final Thoughts

All in all, Sugar Rush should do well here; this building at Pusat Bandar Damansara is slated to be torn down within a year, but Sugar Rush – which started out as a home baking service – should easily cultivate a loyal fan base that’ll follow it anywhere else by then. During its opening days, customers spotted here included the co-owners of Podgy & The Banker & Lids & Finch.
