Product Details
Domino presses fine refined cane sugar into small, evenly cut cubes, each roughly half a teaspoon, so a cup gets the same measure of sweetness every time without anyone reaching for a spoon. The 16 oz box holds about 126 of them.
Cane and beet sugar are both sucrose and sweeten a drink identically; pure cane simply tells you which crop it came from, and it is the wording many shoppers watch for. A cube dissolves as you stir rather than all at once, which is part of why cubes held on in table service: coffee, espresso, and tea poured from a pot.
This is the box to keep for breakfast trays and for guests, and the one cafes, offices, and small inns reach for when a sugar bowl or caddy needs to look tidy. Cubes earn their place behind a bar too, soaked in bitters for an old fashioned or a champagne cocktail where a measured dose matters.

Questions About This Product
The things people actually want to know before they cook with it.
How many cubes come in the 16 oz box and how big is each one?
The one pound Domino box is listed at 126 cubes. That works out to roughly 3.6 grams per cube, and nutrition databases for these cubes round the serving to about 4 grams, which is close to one level teaspoon of granulated sugar. You will see some listings describe a cube as half a teaspoon, so if precision matters for a recipe, weigh a cube rather than relying on a stated equivalent.
How many sugar cubes equal a cup of sugar for baking?
A cup of granulated sugar weighs about 200 grams, so at roughly 3.6 grams per cube you would need somewhere around 55 cubes. Cubes are simply compressed granulated sugar, so the substitution works by weight, but they will not cream properly with butter unless you crush them back to loose crystals first. For baking it is far easier to use granulated sugar and save the cubes for drinks.
What holds a sugar cube together?
A cube is made by lightly moistening fine granulated sugar, pressing it into shape, and drying it, so the sugar crystals lock together as the moisture leaves. Domino describes these as made from pure, fine granulated cane sugar. That is also why cubes can crumble if the box is knocked around or if they sit in a humid kitchen.
Do sugar cubes dissolve in iced coffee or iced tea?
Slowly. A cube has less surface area exposed than loose sugar, and cold liquid dissolves sugar much less readily than hot, so a cube dropped into iced tea tends to sit at the bottom and needs prolonged stirring. For cold drinks, most people either dissolve the cube in a splash of hot water first or use simple syrup. In hot coffee or tea a cube dissolves in a few seconds of stirring.
Are these the same as Domino Dots?
Yes, Domino markets its cube sugar under the Dots name, which is a play on the brand's domino imagery. Boxes and listings may show either "Sugar Cubes" or "Dots," and the 126-count one pound box is the same item either way. If a recipe or a store listing mentions Domino Dots, this is what it means.
Do the cubes come individually wrapped?
These come loose in the box, packed together the way you would see them in a sugar bowl. Individually wrapped cubes are a separate foodservice format sold for restaurants and cafes. If you want cubes for a table setting, transfer them from the box into a covered sugar bowl, since the carton itself does not reseal tightly.
Is Domino cane sugar processed with bone char, and are these cubes vegan?
This is a disputed area and worth verifying with the manufacturer directly for the box you have. The Vegetarian Resource Group reported in 2021 that ASR Group, which owns Domino, said about 65 percent of its sugar is bone char free and that consumers could identify bone char free packages by a lot number beginning with 1, 4, or 6, while some refineries still used bone char filtration at that time. Practices and lot coding can change, so treat that guidance as a snapshot rather than a current guarantee.
Does it matter that this is cane sugar rather than beet sugar?
For sweetening a drink, cane and beet sugar are chemically the same sucrose and behave identically. The distinction matters mostly to people who care about sourcing or who have found small differences in behavior in candy work and some baking. Domino labels this product as pure cane sugar, which is the reason many shoppers seek it out specifically.
Can I use these for an old fashioned, a champagne cocktail, or an absinthe drip?
Yes, and those are classic uses. In an old fashioned the cube is saturated with bitters and muddled so it dissolves into the spirit; in a champagne cocktail the cube sits in the glass with bitters and slowly dissolves as it releases bubbles; in an absinthe drip the cube rests on a slotted spoon while iced water is dripped through it. A standard-size cube like this is what those recipes assume when they call for one sugar cube.
Are these the same as the rough-cut brown or raw sugar cubes served with espresso?
No. These are uniform white cubes pressed from refined cane sugar, while the irregular amber cubes often served alongside espresso are made from raw or turbinado sugar and carry a light molasses flavor. They are interchangeable in terms of sweetness but not in appearance or taste. If a coffee bar look is what you are after, the raw-sugar cubes are a different product.
