It looks like something from a 1950's movie and it's not in the best area. But damn good breakfasts. More

I have traveled ver the years and have eatened at many breakfast/brunch places and this place in my opinion is just o.k. I was expecting fresher ingredients and cheaper prices. My husband and I spent $30.00 on a omelette, coffee and breakfast quesadalia. My quesadalia was just o.k. My eggs tasted old and well as veggies in quesadalia. The coffee... More

Great thin pancakes... order them with a side of goetta, a Cincinnati staple for the true "cincinnati" experience. More

We were in Cincinnati for a wedding and wanted a local diner for breakfast. Sugar n Spice had it all, friendly owner, reasonable wait, eclectic clientele, efficient wait staff, history, but mostly...awesome food. I had one of the best omelets ever and my husband loved their pancakes. More

This place has been around for decades now. Even with changes in ownership, this place has always been consistent with the quality of food and service! The current owner has 'stepped it up a notch' in trying to create a homey atmosphere with little personal touches. He's also quite the host in making sure everyone feels at home! The wait... More

From the outside, you might not be sure of what's inside. The neighborhood isn't so great, but once you go inside, you can feel somewhat nostalgic. It's got a small diner feel to it. The decor is kind of kitschy, but it just adds to the experience. My boyfriend and I sat at the counter, and the waitstaff were just... More

These guys have been in business for over 50 years and they know what they're doing. Pancakes were thin, light and delicous while the omelettes were whipped, fluffy and melted on our tongues! Great coffee and a kitchy but not too cute decor perfectly complimented the professional and brisk service. More

We had breakfast here and it was great! The staff is very friendly - they treat regular customers like family and warmly welcome first time visitors. Food was excellent! Its small and not real fancy - but we will return on our next visit to Cincinnati! They are open only for breakfast and lunch. More

We love this place. Very unassuming pink building, but a fantastic feel with a very diverse clientele. Love the food, especially the wispy thin pancakes. More

The food was excellent especially the omellettes which are humongous. Coffee tasted watered down. The main detractor to this place was the smell... It smelled like a dirty nursing home to me which definitely took away from the meal and the experience. I would still recommend this place for the food, maybe it just smelled bad that day More
