sugar n' spice

best omelet ever!. i went here over all of the hype about their wispy thin pancakes, but the omelets are the star of this show. don't get me wrong, the pancakes are good, but they were small for the price (2 for $3). but like i said, get an omelet. i went with the western omelet for $9.75. yes, that's expensive for an omelet in the hood. but it was worth every penny. they must've used a dozen eggs to make this thing. it was huge and fluffy and perfectly cooked. it had tons of ham, cheese, green peppers and onions inside. i didn't even come close to finishing it.

the service was great. fast and friendly, although a little rough around the edges. the restaurant is very busy so plan on being there awhile. a lot of people ordered "to go" but breakfast food never tastes the same when you do that. the neighborhood isn't the best, but they have agoodparking lot and i don't think you will have any problems here. give them a try sometime. and get an omelet.

great!. i can't believe i have lived my entire life in cincinnati and have never been to sugar n' spice until about a month ago. we headed over to the parkside cafe in walnut hills but it was closed for easter. i remembered my coworker mentioning a little pink place on reading so we decided to check it out. there was no wait which was nice. there was so much that lookedgoodon the menu we decided to try a few different things. my friend had the steak and eggs and a side of goetta. i had the breakfast special (eggs, pancakes, choice of meat) and home fries. the pancakes were awesome! my friend's steak was cooked perfectly, he never seems to have much luck when it comes to that! i don't eat pork so i was very happy that they offer turkey sausage. everything was great and we will definitely be back, there is much more we'd like to try.

worth the wait!. i think i may have found a new regular saturday brunch spot! i had heardgoodthings about sugar n' spice, but had never made the time to try to find it as it's kind of out of the way for me. i'm so glad that i finally made the trip - there was a bit of a wait for a seat, but it was worth it! their pancakes are excellent, omelets are huge and fluffy, the coffee isgoodand the servers and owner are all super friendly and accommodating. sure the space is a little cramped, but honestly, that just made the experience more fun and charming - kinda a small-town diner feeling. i got to talk to a few of their other customers that are regulars; everyone was happy and everyone seemed to enjoy their food. i'd go back in a heartbeat.

you must be joking!. either people writinggoodreviews don't get out muchor they don't know cooking at all. i can make better pancakes at home for crying out loud.and when i sent my eggs back because they were cooked wrong it tasted funny that weirdo owner came out and argued with me about it. said that it was offensive that i sent them back and that i hurt the cooks feelings.i couldn't believe it.so i say again you must be joking.

hidden gem. i was looking for something different for breakfast. urbanspoon had 95% of folks liking sugar n' spice, so i decided to try it. we drove about 1/2 hour from the east side of cincinnati, and we had an awesome breakfast! since it was our first time, we weren't sure what to get. our server recommended that my daughter and i split an omelette and an order of pancakes (the two most popular things on the menu for breakfast). the food definitely did not disappoint! the pancakes were thin and tasty (just the way i like them). we had the not-so-kosher omelette, and wow - it rocked! the omelette was huge and splitting it was agoodrecommendation. our server made sure we picked a duck before we left (be sure to ask about the ducks)! i loved this place and will definitely be back!

our service was very quick and efficient. the food wasgoodand i think we will definitely return again sometime in the future.

food ok, service..... lacking. firstly, i know this is not the type of place where you would expect to getgoodservice, so keep that in mind when you read this review. i know this is not fine dining, but please read on. the food here is pretty decent. it is not asgoodas waffle house though. i give waffle house an a, i give sns a c. please, do not order the belgian waffle here, it is disgraceful. if a belgian ordered it they would probably cry. its really doughy and is flat out terrible. this place could be good. however the two main servers there are horrible at what they do. there is the typical older lady who looks like your average granny. she calls you honey or sweetie to make you think she cares, but she does not care. all she does is take your order. try to get some ketchup, get your water refilled. see if she asks you if your food is ok or if you need anything. that will likely not happen. i have been there a dozen times and she is consistently a horrible waitress. i know they are busy there, but she can barely nail down the basics of what she should be doing. the same goes for the young girl who is always there. she seems like she has a bit of a nasty attitude. anyway, they both would never cut it in a regular/corporate restaurant. they are in a mom and pop joint and the rules are different there. some of the other people there seem nice, but the two main waitresses are awful at what they do. so some advice to them if they read this. refills, smile, check on the food quality, ask if people need anything sometimes and have a little personality, and don't stand around doing nothing. so, the gist is, the food is decent, the service is horrible. id rather go to waffle house or some other diner type place where the employees actually seem to care and give reasonablygoodservice. i would never go back to this place and i recommend you do not go either. those two are way to comfortable and set in their ways. the service is a joke.

amazing place!. this was a great experience so my review will be long, so if you hate reading, the short run is just go. don't waste any more time - go to sugar n' spice!
so this place has been on my wishlist for over a year and i finally decided to drive the 20 minutes to get there. i was so glad i did. we got there around noon and there was a short wait, but nothing bad. during our wait the man next to me, named roscoe (great guy), struck up conversation telling me he was in town for a family medical emergency and drove 463 miles from south carolina. though his cousin was in the hospital, he told his family he was going to sugar n' spice. he couldn't even remember what he had the last time he came 2 years ago, which was also his first time, but he just remembered it was sogoodthat if he was ever back in town he was going, so there he was with 3 of his brothers. i had a feeling that if this place made that great of an impression then it must be great.

a few minutes later a guy in his mid-20's came by to pay his check up front and smiled and said 'this is how they treat you here', and proceeded to show us his to-go box and a small rubber ducky in which the staff wrote something to the effect of being a wimp for not finishing his meal. we all had a prettygoodlaugh about it. minutes later steven, the owner/manager, came by to offer a mini cupcake while we waited. it was a yellow cake with cookies and cream icing that tasted just like an oreo. it wasgoodand sweet, and i began thinking i already love this place and i have not even been seated yet.

we were seated at the counter and quickly noticed the staff is pretty relaxed. they had friendly banter with each other and were nothing but polite to the customers. around that time steven came around to make sure we had one of the mini cupcakes and then asked if we got a duck. he produced a bucket and started showing us the variety of small ducks for us to choose from. we picked our favorites and while waiting for the food we had a few conversations with him. he is pretty on top of their facebook page and their reviews online, which is always great to see from a manager. it shows they are aware and concerned of how they are perceived. the ducks and cupcakes were a nice bonus (and we noticed he was offering these to every new person that was seated, but i'm not sure if they do cupcakes every day) and it just shows how such a little thing can go such a long way. something so inexpensive can make a place that much more intriguing and fun. steven really seems to know what he's doing to keep a place fresh and interesting after being in business over 70 years. i think that's a big part of the staff morale as well.

ok, enough bragging about the fun stuff. i ordered my favorite - 2 eggs over medium, home fries, toast, and goetta. my wife had the daily special - peaches french toast and a side of sausage links. the french toast was very tasty topped off with powdered sugar and tender peach slices. peaches are not in season yet, so i image they were jarred or canned, but they still tasted fantastic. they were warm and sweet and paired well with the french toast. as my wife said, you didn't even need syrup (although it did come on the side). my goetta was great and my eggs were a perfect over medium. the whites looked gorgeous and fluffy and the yolks were still warm and runny. perfect! it's incredible how many places screw up something so simple as eggs, so i always appreciate when places do it right. the big surprise was the home fries. not only was there a large amount of them, but they were actually very well seasoned. many places do not even season them!

their menu was very impressive for a place only open 7-3 every day. i was happy to see favorites like steak and eggs, but also many great looking dishes, such as chicken wings and waffles (made with a sweet potato waffle) and omelets the size of a huge burrito (which they also serve). they are known for their wispy thin pancakes though. they name is right. they are like thick crepes but taste better than any buttermilk pancake i have ever had (while waiting steven brought one out for us to try). you don't even need much syrup, but i do not recommend skipping it. they make their own and it is sweet with agoodmaple flavor that compliments the pancake's own natural sweetness perfectly. i don't know if these perks are something they do all the time, but i certainly appreciated it, and i am fairly certain my next visit i will order an omelet and a single wispy thin pancake on the side. mmm.

you would be a fool to pass this place up based on the 1950's pink exterior and teal accents. do not make the same mistake i made and wait over a year to check this place out. you will not regret going. i guarantee you're going to have agoodtime, and an even better meal.

best breakfast place around. my wife has been dying to take me here and we finally had a chance today and it was better than expected. not one thing was missing from this great breakfast. the service was excellent, i loved the decor and the food is asgoodas the rest of the reviewers say it is.

the omlete is huge but so fluffy and light. i love pancakes and these were just as they describe them whispy thin and yummy.goodgoetta and tasty coffee.

we were lucky no waiting this morning but i would wait to eat here without a doubt and will be back many more times in the future.

great breakfast. we thought we would give this a try this morning and it wasn't a disappointment. the restaurant has a retro feel with the booths and counter (and even the old cash register) as well as the great murals on the walls. i had the special with goetta and the wispy thin pancakes and the wife had a western omelette. both were verygoodand with anygoodbreakfast place, the coffee better begoodand it was. we will be back.

verygooddiner like atmosphere. great service and verygoodfood! the only negative was the coffee. absolutely horrid. all in all i would come again!
