Review Sugar Shack Cafe - Huntington Beach

Sugar Shack Cafe is just outstanding! First of all, I called a few weeks before our visit to Huntington Beach to find out about gluten-free or gluten-friendly options and they were very helpful. When we finally did visit, our first visit was excellent and our second visit was even better! It was pretty busy yesterday and our server, Julia, handled it smoothly and was very friendly and helpful, an excellent server. This morning we had the pleasure of being served by (I think the owner/manager Ryan), who was warm and welcoming and friendly. Really made us feel comfortable. And his wife (I don’t think we got her name, sadly) took over service this morning and she was awesome, too. Very friendly, welcoming, and great with the coffee refills and everything else. The food was EXCELLENT. I know, you might be thinking how excited can you get about breakfast, but it was great. Coffee was delicious, bacon was crispy, eggs were fluffy, hash browns were particularly good - crispy, not the least bit greasy, just great! And the eggs Benedict (day two, this morning) were out of this world! First of all, I’ve almost never had an eggs Benedict dish come out hot, in any restaurant, ever, but here it came out hot! And the Hollandaise was great, not too lemony, smooth as silk; the ham was tasty, too! Nice English muffin too. Just the perfect eggs Benedict. PLUS - and a BIG plus for my wife and me - it’s open at 6 AM! And I love the ambiance with the surf photos on the walls, and it’s small but comfortable inside. And you CAN eat outside if you want. To me, this is the exact kind of breakfast experience you want, and I’m happy to support this business and highly recommend it to others!

Great place for a hearty breakfast. Portions are huge, perfect stop to refule for my bike ride back home. Wife said the fresh toast is top notch.

Cruising the PCH, I got hungry for some breakfast. The place was busy, and it was a weekday. I walked in through the back alley and grabbed an available table. I was promptly given a menu and asked what I wanted to drink. I got my drink and ordered my food. Pancakes, eggs, and two sausages, pork and veggie. The food was great, the pork sausage, outstanding! I was not a big fan of the veggie sausage. I got out and back on my way.

A local standard, especially for breakfast! Good size portions, excellent hash browns, lots of choices from common plates to unique combos. Service is good, you may have to wait a bit, but they get folks in and out steadily. The back porch usually has room!

Photos of the pier...the sugar shack restaurant is just a couple streets north of the pier... with great food and outdoor seating, I love coming here for breakfast.

The perfect little beach diner. Quality service and the exact menu you’d want on a lazy Saturday or Sunday morning. I had the short stack (perfection) and a nice and crispy hash brown with sides. The omelet my friend got also looked great. We sat out back on the patio (sign in sheet on the alley side) and enjoyed the winter sun. Definitely a local haunt!

Great breakfast. Sat outside, and people watched while soaking up the sunshine and salt air. The fried potatoes and hot sauce are delish!

Our waitress was super sweet and the breakfast was good but nothing extraordinary! Seems to be a very popular long time place in the area. Love how close it is to the beach!

If looking for a good breakfast place look no farther. The portions were very large and the food was good. Menu has a vary broad but very well made offering. You are able to sit outside and watch all the different cars drive by which our kids loved. Only pitfall is they dont allow for you to split orders which would be nice based on the size of the plates that come out. Prices are fair for the size that you get. Pancakes were REALLY good. Service was exceptional as well with a server coming around to fill your coffee faster than you could drink it. Would highly recommend!

The service here is amazing and friendly. You feel at home. The food was ready in a flash and was quite tasty, not overly expensive and a perfect portion. I highly recommend coming here.
