When I lived in Cincinnati, Sugar n' Spice was one of my favorite breakfast spots, so I couldn't pass it up on a recent visit. This place has the best pancakes I have ever tasted - thin, with slightly crispy edges, a wonderful flavor, not too filling, very satisfying. I went around 2PM and had breakfast for lunch, choosing the... More

While on a weekend trip on Cincy, we stopped here after reading about it on Trip Advisor. I had pancakes, scrambled eggs and bacon - all very good. My husband tried the Philly Cheesesteak omelet and enjoyed it very much. It was huge and came with bread choice. My son had the chocolate chip pancakes and also enjoyed them. Everyone... More

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
