Sugar Shack - San Clemente, California

Cheryl Nasser

It’s a small local mom and pop run restaurant. Rose is friendly and told us some jokes while we waited for all of our party of 5 to get there. Enjoy all their omelettes, eggs Benedict and surfers revenge was a plate of hash browns with a ton of veggies. Roast beef dip was on a nice size French roll. Good portions and regular coffee get refilled.

Beware this place is terrible. I almost never leave a bad Review, but I felt obligated to let others know that this place is not any good.

Overall I don’t think this place deserves 1 star.

Chairs- extremely uncomfortable
Facility- old out dated not clean, smells
Coffee- cheap cold coffee and cheap powder creamer. Cup still had lip stick on it from previous customer. When it was mentioned to waitress, she poured the coffee that was in dirty cup into another cup and handed it back to us ?‍♂️.
Toast- suppose to be sour-dough , was cheap white bread.

Hash browns- toasted on exterior, uncooked frozen inside- not eatable ?

My $25 omelette with crab was terrible ?. When waitress ask if I didn’t like it, I told her it was not good, she said know one really likes that one ?. I told her hash brown was not properly cooked, she replied that’s too bad, then said I hope the rest of your day is nice. The other 4 family members with me also said their food was disgusting, possibly used rancid oil to cook it. Only edible food was the chicken strips and fries my daughter ate.

Service was poor at best.

Atmosphere - music was outdated. I felt uncomfortable from the time I entered the place.

This place is run by a woman named Rose who seemed very nice and it's a small business, for which I am completely aware of how difficult it is to run an establishment, especially a restaurant, in California but the prices were just outlandish.

The food was decent. But I ordered an omelette with spinach, ham, sausage, and bacon and the price was $28. It came with hash browns which were delicious but when a business like this needs to charge this much for an omelet, I cannot in good conscience recommend it. Also when the woman came by to refresh our sodas, she left a short black hair from I don't know where on the table.

I really would like to give a better recommendation but the price and the cleanliness was lacking at best. $28 omelet? And a plain Belgian waffle was like $15. Absolutely insane even given the unbelievably ridiculous nature of the California economy.

Local spot for breakfast, lunch. No dinners here. Family owned n still work there. No ADA entry or seating. They will bring it to your vehicle if your ADA. Food is great. Old house turned restaurant. Rooftop patio ,nice spot. Home cooking. Go for it..you'll love it.

Went to San Clemente to help with the Tour De Recovery (TDR). Saw the riders off and found this little gem of a Mom & Pop breakfast spot. Rose served us, and she was great. Joked around with us like she's known us forever. The food was great and the atmosphere was definitely something to enjoy, like eating at grandma's. Thank you to Courage to Call and Wounded Warrior for allowing me to give back to the veteran community and finding this gem.

The food and service was great! What a dynamic waitress I had this morning! I tipped her 40% for being awesome and making my day! Protect her at all costs! We need more of her types these days!
Thank you! Muah! See you soon!

Please save your time, stomach and money and go to Dennys instead. Our waitress, the owner, was very nice but that’s really the only positive. Place was dirty, bathroom/stock room area was full of gnats. The makeshift high chair is so unsafe and molded. 3 people and the cost was almost $100 Not sure how pancakes can taste rancid but they did. I do not recommend this place at all.

Perfect hash browns. Toast nice and toasty with light butter. Eggs cooked to perfection. I was a happy man.

Rose and her daughter are super friendly and cool. Loved the family vibes. I highly recommend!
