Fresh Paint, Classic Bites at Sugar n’ Spice

T he diner’s interior feels like an old-fashioned cartoon, popping with bright colors and capped by a yellow ceiling. The menu is half breakfast favorites and half classic sandwich plates, ranging from breakfast burritos to steak or chicken Phillys.

Even if you prefer a sandwich to eggs and home fries, get some pancakes for dessert. The Wispy Thin Pancakes (available in original, blueberry, and chocolate chip) live up to their reputation. Sugar n’ Spice makes all the secret-recipe pancakes from scratch, and these signature bites are the heart of the restaurant. Soft with the faintest bit of crispy lace at the edges, the light, fluffy batter creates just the right texture for soaking up butter and syrup, and each fork-full melts in your mouth. They won’t leave you hungry, though they will have you craving more.

A great meal isn’t made of carbs alone, and the breakfast special (two Wispy Thin Pancakes, two eggs, and your choice of sausage, bacon, or goetta) is a great way to tour the menu.

Be sure to ask your server for a rubber duck! Every guest gets a pal as a final thanks from one of the friendliest restaurants in town.
