Sugar Shack Cafe — Restaurant in 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...

Eating here was always a good experience. Not once was I ever disappointed. It is true that if you come here late that you will be waiting quite a while just to eat, however if you come early like we do all the time you’ll get in no problem, maybe a five minute wait. Literally the way is the only negative thing I can think about this place. I remember spending so many important occasions in California here at this very spot and I think the staff and the owner for each and every time coming here have been a wonderful experience. I even had my first coffee here. Although that was many years ago it still maintains the same quality as that first time I ate here. And the location is impeccable. It is right next to the ocean. You could feel it and you could just smell the lively atmosphere along with the great food that comes with it. When the food comes out it tastes like it was made By Gordon Ramsay, no joke. I think if Gordon Ramsay came here he would actually be wanting to ask for their recipes. That's how good it is. Overall I give this place five out of five stars not just for the good experiences and times I had here as a kid. But for the food 🥘 definitely worth a visit. Due to the breakfast tasting like one of a kind and something that you cannot find anywhere else other than this store. Also for the good service and polite staff that will start off your morning just right Huntington Beach California the best Oceanside beach in the...

YOU'RE in HB BABY! Can you really complain? Even the internet trolls with their bad attitude and natural ability to be sour fails at this joint. Instead, they find themselves marinating in misery because they can't find anything at the Sugar Shack to run their fingers about. Instead, they only find a great menu, food that matches, and a service that makes them wish they could ask their server if they cleaned homes. Ok, fine! So you need at least one thing to bi#%h about. Complain about the name dangit! Look around, ya! Observe! Ain't nobody in the entire 100 square miles on anything remotely in the category of sugar. You're misnamed SUGAR SHACK, so take this complaint with a grain of salt. That's right, it's on the table as well.

Don't thank me, just thank the Lord because dependable advice is a sasquatch no-a-days. You can't find it even though ya heard of it. And lookie here. I was born with a unique set of skills that allows me to give back, because the government ain't already giving out enough. My advice ranges from as little as the ole beach metal detector sweeper guy to as much as rocket science and brain surgery. So use me, abuse me. I'm smart, just ask me.
