This is the place to go for breakfast if your in HB. Get there early on the weekends or you will have to wait. Seating is either inside the cafe, on the back patio (my favorite) or out front on Main Street. The food and service is down home. more

Even though this small little restaurant gets rave reviews I think it was ver disappointing after my VERY long wait. I was expecting the BEST breakfast that iIhave ever eaten and it really was just soo so.....although I thought that the location was nice.....so crowded that igt really isn't a fun experience....sorry! more

Great place to get the local vibe. Super cheap and huge quantities for breakfast - sit at the crowded counter to avoid the long wait out front. Breakfasts are so huge you dont' need lunch. The wait staff are really sweet and this is a great locals place. Perfect if your'e staying at a resort/hotel and want to get more... more

I heard the rave reviews, and eagerly headed to The Sugar Shack for breakfast. I will never return. My omelette and chili cheese fries had unmelted slices of American cheese on them, and the chili was literally tasteless. The hash browns were barely cooked. Seriously, folks - AMERICAN CHEESE? Perhaps they ran out of actual cheese, and my experience was... more

What a cool restaurant close to the beach. We sat inside because there was no wait. About 30 minute wait at both outside places. Big servings (we should have shared the hash browns). The food was really good and the service great! Best coffee I have ever had! more

We visited the Sugar Shack several times during our stay in Huntington Beach, and were never disappointed. It opens very early in the morning and closes mid-afternoon, so you can eat breakfast as early or late as you like. There was a short wait for tables most days (this was around Easter). You can eat outside, front or back, or... more

We stumbled across Michele's Sugar Shack while exploring Huntington Beach. Best find in a really long time. We came back every morning we were in town. We recommended to friends... The service was great. We were traveling with toddlers and they took care of us. The food was great. The service was great. Would highly recommend! more

We loved the Sugar Shack. My 2 sons and I (teenagers) ventured out while my husband stayed back at the hotel to do some work. We were pleasantly surprised when we discovered the Sugar Shack. Service was very prompt- in a nice way, we didn't feel rushed. Between all of us we had the Breakfast Buritto, Pancakes, and standard 2... more

Best place to eat breakfast in Huntington Beach AND this area of So. Calif. Worth the wait, and there will be a wait. But, don't be deterred as what seems like could take an hour to wait, may take only 15-20 minutes. Make sure to go thru restaurant to back patio area where tables seem to open quicker. Can not... more
