Sugar Rush Cafe

Family-owned restaurant in an unassuming location with great food and customer service. Gave us lots of condiments. The hash brown was crispy just the way I like them.

Mom and pop place to grab some fairly tasty food. just discovered this hole in the wall hidden in a small industrial plaza. Open for breakfast and lunch only, their menu offers up standard American breakfast and sandwiches. I ordered the veg omelet. The egg was over cooked and the veg to egg ratio was good. It came with tater tots which were cooked to perfection, crispy, tender and seasoned (tots for the win). I had the, wait for it....spinach and pineapple freshly blended beverage. It was surprising in flavor combo and yummers! Could not taste the spinach, and was more for the aesthetic. My brain was intrigued by the combo, yet no spinach flavor...still felt healthy consuming it, after all it is green (lol). Since this is a new place to me, I am exploring the menu every few weeks to find their go to dish. Take a chance on a mom & pop place And support small local businesses. See y'all on the hunt for delish eats.

Looking for a nearby breakfast/brunch place, we ran across this great find. It's located at the end of an industrial park -- visible from the street (and with a driveway right by it), but not in a neighborhood you'd expect. FOOD - This is basic breakfast/brunch/lunch fare. Various omelettes and eggs and french toast and battered products, but also sandwiches and burgers, etc. I ordered a green chili omelette. Back in Colorado this would be brimming with green chilis and maybe a green chili sauce over it. Not here, where the chilis were just another ingredient alongside the mushrooms. Still, very tasty. The accompanying patty of hash browns were undistinguished but perfectly cooked. The salt/pepper and chili sauce at the table more than filled in the gaps. My wife had eggs, bacon, and french toast. She's very picky with her scrambled eggs, and deemed these perfect. The cinnamon bread french toast was small (as cinnamon bread is) but very good. Prices felt a scosh high ($13-14 for the breakfast entrees), but not outrageously so. Overall, nothing spectacular about the food, but very well prepared. DRINK - They are very much an Intelligentsia coffee place, which didn't mean anything to me, but apparently does to aficionados. At any rate, it was quite good, though made to order and not refilled. Various sugars offered (in packets). SERVICE - The couple who run the place were fast and efficient. We were seated quickly (the crowds at 11:30a on a Sunday were not great), offered a chance to order multiple times, and served quickly. Language (esp. with masks) was a little difficult, but by no means a serious problem. AMBIANCE - Though kind of looking like a hole in the wall sort of place from the outside, esp. given the setting, the inside is well lit, nicely decorated, and spotlessly clean. I might have wanted the a/c on a little less, as it cooled off my food quickly, but given the already-climbing temps outside, it beat the reverse. While pictures seem to indicate tent space set up for outdoor dining during the pandemic, that was not the case while we visited. Tables were well spaced, though, and the staff were continuously wearing masks. OVERALL - Not a "any time I'm visiting Southern California I must make it back here!" kind of location, but a solid destination for brunch for anyone in the vicinity. If we stay again at the hotel we're at, we'll definitely visit again; heck, we still might on this trip. Good food, good service, nothing fancy.

Delicious food, coffee, and tea. Been coming here past 2 years now. This place has a cozy vibe. Staff is super nice, and always happy. I love how they serve Chemex Pour over Klatch and Intelligentsia coffee. Their breakfast had a delicious homemade feel. I work next door, and the aroma from the bacon the cooking creeps into our lot... It's so hard to resist lol They are responding to Covid appropriately. I felt safe ordering take out here. Highly recommend this place.
