Sugar Rush Cafe

Very nice people that work there and the service was great. Also, the meals are very generous and great value if you like to eat a lot.

This is a hole in the wall place that serves traditional breakfast, both savory and sweet. It is nicely decorated and seems to be run by a couple who take pride in both the cleanliness, the decor, and the food. This is not gourmet by any means, but well made American food served promptly and generously. Check out my pictures for a sense of the place. Also, it is conveniently located 2 minutes walking distance from the Tesla service center so if you need to wait for your car there's a place to hang out. They gave me the Wi-Fi password too!

Looking for a nearby breakfast/brunch place, we ran across this great find. It's located at the end of an industrial park -- visible from the street (and with a driveway right by it), but not in a neighborhood you'd expect.

FOOD - This is basic breakfast/brunch/lunch fare. Various omelettes and eggs and french toast and battered products, but also sandwiches and burgers, etc.

I ordered a green chili omelette. Back in Colorado this would be brimming with green chilis and maybe a green chili sauce over it. Not here, where the chilis were just another ingredient alongside the mushrooms. Still, very tasty. The accompanying patty of hash browns were undistinguished but perfectly cooked. The salt/pepper and chili sauce at the table more than filled in the gaps.

My wife had eggs, bacon, and french toast. She's very picky with her scrambled eggs, and deemed these perfect. The cinnamon bread french toast was small (as cinnamon bread is) but very good.

Prices felt a scosh high ($13-14 for the breakfast entrees), but not outrageously so.

Overall, nothing spectacular about the food, but very well prepared.

DRINK - They are very much an Intelligentsia coffee place, which didn't mean anything to me, but apparently does to aficionados. At any rate, it was quite good, though made to order and not refilled. Various sugars offered (in packets).

SERVICE - The couple who run the place were fast and efficient. We were seated quickly (the crowds at 11:30a on a Sunday were not great), offered a chance to order multiple times, and served quickly. Language (esp. with masks) was a little difficult, but by no means a serious problem.

AMBIANCE - Though kind of looking like a hole in the wall sort of place from the outside, esp. given the setting, the inside is well lit, nicely decorated, and spotlessly clean. I might have wanted the a/c on a little less, as it cooled off my food quickly, but given the already-climbing temps outside, it beat the reverse.

While pictures seem to indicate tent space set up for outdoor dining during the pandemic, that was not the case while we visited. Tables were well spaced, though, and the staff were continuously wearing masks.

OVERALL - Not a "any time I'm visiting Southern California I must make it back here!" kind of location, but a solid destination for brunch for anyone in the vicinity. If we stay again at the hotel we're at, we'll definitely visit again; heck, we still might on this trip.

Good food, good service, nothing fancy.

If you want fresh, tasteful meals then you are in the right place. I asked for a bunless, albacore tuna sandwich and a side of green salad. Yes, it was delicious and lowcarb as well.

Delicious food, coffee, and tea.

Been coming here past 2 years now. This place has a cozy vibe. Staff is super nice, and always happy. I love how they serve Chemex Pour over Klatch and Intelligentsia coffee.

Their breakfast had a delicious homemade feel. I work next door, and the aroma from the bacon the cooking creeps into our lot... It's so hard to resist lol

They are responding to Covid appropriately. I felt safe ordering take out here.

Highly recommend this place.
