GQ Magazine – City Guide
Philly Without Cheese | Print Edition and On-line October 2011
“No, Philadelphia has not suddenly turned into Miami. But you’ll find stores that get it right, kick-ass BYO restaurants, and bars that care more about local craft beers than the Eagles game. Call it Philly’s awakening.
Sugarcube
No, the midcentury motorcycle in the middle of the store isn’t for sale. But with the stacks of Pendleton and Steven Alan shirts and the smartly edited vintage racks in back, you’ll do all right.”
GQ (originally Gentlemen’s Quarterly) is a monthly men’s magazine focusing on fashion, style, and culture for men, through articles on food, movies, fitness, sex, music, travel, sports, technology, and books. -It is the male equivalent of Vogue.

“Not all of us are ready to invest seriously in fashion, but this Old City vintage-meets-new sure makes me want to. Owner Elisa Burrato — official candidate for friendliest Philadelphian — traffics in A.P.C., Veena, Wrangler, awesome one-of-a-kind jewelry, amazingly perfect secondhand cowboy boots, bright pumps, Prada sweaters, and dressy dress-ups. Most of all, she’s awesome at summing up styles.”

Regional Spotlight
“Lovers of cutting-edge fashion (and motorcycles) will find much to adore at Sugarcube®. Elisa Buratto is the friendly owner of Sugarcube®, a vintage-meets-new boutique that truly gets it. Buratto combines mint-condition butterfly tops, keyhole dresses and cashmere sweaters with the latest styles from Steven Alan and A.P.C. — and the results are nothing short of amazing. (Don’t forget to look beneath the racks for classic pumps and sandals.)”

The Weekly News Letter, December 2, 2007
“Sugarcube® has quickly become a favorite clothing boutique in Philadelphia. Nestled in the side streets of Olde City, Sugarcube® offers a mix of vintage and modern clothing and accessories for men and women that will leave you wanting more…”

Sweet Spot, Philadelphia 2009
“Elisa Buratto’s and Edward Dormer’s eclectic, brick-walled boutique Sugarcube® might seem like a retail anomaly, with of-the-moment designer collections and decades-old vintage under one roof. But the shop is pitch-perfect for Old City’s hipster sensibilities. This fall, gals can pair Frock! by Tracy Reese dresses with retro pumps while guys can snap up old-school Members Only leather jackets. Or browse for a vintage shirt in this season’s in-demand plaid. Buratto, who majored in fine arts before turning to fashion, approaches clothing with a “curatorial” eye. I think of designers as artists, and our store is like a gallery space.”

“It might be hard to find a store in the city that has more adoring fans than Sugarcube®. With good reason too: Elisa rocks. Her mix of new and vintage clothing, shoes and accessories complement each other perfectly, and even for those who are simply browsing, it’s pleasure enough to walk around and be inspired by Sugarcube’s cool factor. I was never a member of the various fan clubs that my friends were in when we were growing up, not even for the New Kids on the Block, but with A.P.C., Lyell and Steven Alan intermingling all in one store, I am officially enrolling in this club of fans.
Not to get all gushy, but here at the eat.shop guides, we have loving feelings for one-of-a-kind, worth going out-of-the-way to visit, independently owned local businesses. though it’s a uniquely american sentiment to think bigger is better, we believe smaller is special—and we’ve dedicated an entire series of city guides to this premise…”
