Sugar n' Spice

Sugar n' Spice is always good. It's clean and cozy. The wait time is always short. It's nice that even when they're busy they take your name and you can wait outside in the sun. They call your name over a speaker so you know you won't get missed. The service is always great. Shawn in the back room served us today and she was so nice. She chatted for a minute but didn't keep us waiting. Our coffee was full and the food was great. I had the corned beef hash while my husband had the biscuits and gravy. So good! We split a half stack of pancakes and it was the perfect Sunday indulgence to add on. It's nice to go somewhere so homey but that is so well maintained and clean. We'll keep coming back! Thanks Shawn for the great service!

Unfortunately one of our worst breakfast experiences. Super slow service which I understand and isn't the biggest deal. But, we had to flag down our waitress to get waters for our kids 20 minutes after we ordered. The bigger issue was when the food came and 3/4 orders were wrong. When we told them my daughter was given the wrong kind of egg, he brought that one back and came back with a different one that was still wrong and raw! My omelet was burnt beyond recognition. My husband thought I had ordered a pancake not an omelet it was so brown. The kids enjoyed the pancakes at least and the ducks. When the bill came there were extra charges for stuff we never ordered at all, and not all we ordered ever made it to our table. After waiting an hour for the food we didn't have time to wait for more to be made bc we had other plans. So, we let the waitress know so we didn't get charged for things we didn't get. The waitress was rude, never apologizing for not getting all our food or charging us for things we never ordered. Very sad experience for our first time here and we will not be going back.

First time at Sugar n' Spice and it was fantastic. Might be my new favorite breakfast spot in the city. The food was delicious and arrived to the table quickly. Prices were even better. Spent $31 total. Lots of parking. Clean place. Delightful service. A tell this place uses REAL butter. Started with the half order of blueberry pancakes. They're thin pancakes. Not too sweet. I think pancakes for the table are a must order. The breakfast burrito was so good. Another must order. Got it with bacon. Love the house made salsa. Crispy tortilla. The breakfast sandwich was great. I would love to know where they get the English muffin from. I do wish they used one big sausage patty instead of two smaller ones. But the sausage tasted great. Hash browns are top notch but I wish they were a little bit crispier.

Love the fact that this location opened after many months of renovation. We were excited to finally have a local diner around our neighborhood. There's room for improvement, hence the 3 stars, but I believe they can be excellent with some tweaks.All the staff were incredibly welcoming and warm. They gave us suggestions on what to get and made sure we got a rubber ducky on the way out. The service times, however, were too slow. Took about 15-20 min after being seated to order drinks. Then another 15-20 min to order food. Then another 15-20 min for food to arrive. That's close to 45 minutes of waiting around. Food itself is what you would expect of any local diner -- good sized portions, fried eggs, buttery pancakes, and crispy potatoes. Also the orange juice and diner coffee fit the vibe perfectly. We enjoyed our meal, but definitely come in knowing what to expect.The whole experience was overall positive, but there's room to improve. Specifically the service times and turnover. We'll be back to give it another try!

A Cincinnati classic for a reason!! As a pancake connoisseur, theirs are incredible. Perfect with a side of goetta. Others at our table enjoyed their meal, and I enjoyed stealing home fries from my husband. And I guess who doesn't love getting a rubber duck with your meal?

The original is the best! After long last, the original has reopened and my fears abated. The new owners haven't ruined the original. OTR Sugar and Spice pales in comparison. Bad service and an attitude of entitlement among the staff and customers. We are truly grateful that the original didn't catch that, dare I say disease, after its remodel. Great food, great value, and great service. What more could one ask for?

Great atmosphere. Warm welcome. Service needs a little help. Perhaps a new waitress. Very sweet, but slow to check on us. Try to make it easy for her after we placed our order to bring us her check, but of course she forgot. My breakfast special made perfect per my specifications.

Subpar. I can't understand the local hype. Unimpressed. I would go to Waffle House before returning. Food was basic and pre-breaded chicken strips. Eggs looked over-cooked. Not to mention the wait... somehow this place still remains busy. I have this 2 stars because the server Lilly was honest and kind. First and last time.

Really great dinner fare (their pancakes!) but geezums talk about a wait. Long wait to be seated then we waited like an hour plus for our food. Very bright atmosphere, good for families, but be prepared for a lil waiting.

The staff here is awesome! They really set the tone for the place! The breakfast is good, if you like diner breakfasts this is your place. And I would say this location is better than the OTR...hot take!
