Phenomenal food and drinks (the coffee and the breakfast sandwhiches are amazing). Everything is extremely fresh, from the bread that is baked on-site, to the eggs that are spiced and cooked with precision. The staff and owners are very pleasant and gracious. My new hang-out when in Redlands! read more

This place is so homey. Family run, they are very friendly. Good for breakfast. They have biscuits and gravy.

This place gets better and better each time I come. This fourth time I've been here I had a great beef sandwich. My girlfriend had an awesome potato soup and Heska was super nice. Her and her husband checked on us about 3 times to make sure we had everything we needed. On the way out we were talking to Heska for a bit and she and her husband Joe decided to play and sing an awesome song for me and my girlfriend! The setting and song were perfect. My girlfriend fell in love with the place (her first time). Can't get a better experience than this. A great mom and pop place in an old style shack. Very clean as well. A++++ read more

Eat eat and eat some more!!! The much of the food here is sooooo divine. All of their bread is in house made, and it really holds the meal together. Definitely try the pastrami, BBQ beef sandwich, and chicken dumpling soup. The atmosphere here is very homely and quaint, and it really allows you to relax while you eat. Plus the owner and the people who run this place and super friendly, and always carry a smile.IF YOU AND SITTING HERE READING THIS....STOP WASTING YOUR TIME AND JUST GO!!!! read more

Cutest little cafe! Their breakfast sandwhich is delicious and the coffee is really good! Friendly owners and a neat place to eat!

Great little Mom and Pop sandwich place near Redlands, CA. Ambience is excellent. Kind of an eclectic feel to it. Very cozy. Food is solid. I had a Reuben which was tasty. I also had an orange-mango-peach smoothie which was exceptional. The service was great. It was toward the end of the day, and I was the only one there. The owners, who are husband and wife, came and sat at the adjacent table, and we had a pleasant conversation. They seemed like very good people. Overall, I had a great experience visiting Heska's Sugar Shack. I will definitely be back next time I am in the area. read more

This place offers home made breads, authentic "mom style soups", and delicious salads. I came in the evening after a tiring day in Big bear and I walked into a folk music jam session. From the decor to the home cooked food this restaurant is worth the stop... Way different from panera or corner bakery. read more

We were out in Mentone today and wanted to stop at Heskas to get some dessert. My sister and I had just come from a horrible experience at Mill Creek Cattle Company so we thought we will go to this homey place and have a good experience. We pulled up at 230 and we got out and a guy ran out and told us it was closed! It was supposed to be open until either 4 or 6, I guess it depends on how busy they are. I told him we just wanted a pastry and he slammed the door on us!!!! How RUDE!!! Anyway we won't be going there again that is for sure!!! read more

Had a soup/sandwich combo... And was impressed by both :) (broccoli and cheese soup, extra savory; eggsalad sandwich with soft-yet-sturdy bread) I dunno why it surprised me - I've been here several times before and always loved the atmosphere and food. But I was ^_^ read more

Ive been living in Mentone for 3 yrs and i barely tried this place and it is amazingggggggg me and husband are so pleased and satisfied i will definitely be back! Amazing service amazing atmosphere and amazing food love love love! read more

Stopped on our way down from Big Bear and were so thankful for the coffee!! Skip the Starbucks a block away and head here for coffee that's made with some love. Set up in a really cute orange house (we didn't realize it was a coffee shop at first and not someone's house), the interior is cozy with multiple rooms with a lot of tasteful attention to detail. This would be a perfect place to set up a laptop to work or read. Has a full kitchen too. Wish we had something like this in LA. We'll be back! read more

The older asian lady there has the worst attitude!!!! I didnt get my drink until after my meal....the soup smelt and tasted sour....i ordered a tuna melt and got a cold sandwich...i took it back and heska had an attitude aboit it....i will NEVER GO HERE AGAIN!!!! I couldve had a better sandwich at subway.....i am hoping they go out of business....old ass people..... read more

Our first visit was June 7. Though we live locally, we thought this was more of a coffee shop than a restaurant. It does have a (somewhat) limited menu, but one that is far expanded from munchies and treats. Think of it something on the order of Panera Bread in terms of menu selection - some salads, sandwiches, some soups, smoothies, coffee, etc. There's a laid-back, organic vibe to the place; extremely friendly and warm people. We had the Mongolian chicken sandwich (spicy and balanced on a fresh-baked roll made in-house), the broccoli soup (creamy and home-made tasting without tons of salt), the meatball sandwich (flavorful meatballs in complimentary, balanced sauce on the same house-made French roll), a Greek salad (very fresh, vibrant greens and veg with a tangy vinaigrette), and a couple of smoothies. Highlights here, and why I'm going with five stars, is the freshness and flavors. The sandwiches, the salad, the soup, even the smoothies were put together and seasoned in a manner that highlighted the freshness of the ingredients and showed a respect for the fare. In terms of price, it's a touch on the high side for what you get in terms of size alone - but when you consider what you get, the value is definitely there. You could do better in terms of food volume if you were living on an extremely tight budget or just wanted to stuff your gut with boxed franchise food. For clearly fresh, house-made (and sometimes house-grown) food with strong flavor, good balance, and great taste, they offer a fair and reasonable value. Nothing that we got seemed liked it was over-priced. They are like a traditional coffee shop in that they have televisions, WI-FI, tables to spread out at, and an owner who will sit down and play guitar when not otherwise to busy. Think coffee shops that used to exist before a certain corporate giant tried to bottle and distribute that vibe to every street corner. I can't think of how many times I've driven by this place to get a chain sandwich from the franchise giant virtually right across the street, or even to get a salad/sammie from the aforementioned casual dining bakery chain. Not anymore - our local casual dining dollar will definitely be going to the Sugar Shack instead! read more

fresh baked breads make the sandwiches extra special. come here when you have time to chill- it can take longer than anticipated to get your food. coffee drinks are served in ceramic mugs (if i recall, a lot are made by her daughter). i used to come often a few years ago, but the last time we went it took so long to get the food that my boyfriend won't return. i've got lots of local love, so i'll be back. read more

We came across this cute little restaurant today! Dog friendly! Even has a cute little dog park in the back of the restaurant. We had a delicious salad and a chicken sandwich! Friendly service! read more

I've been here a few times, and like it more with each visit. I had to post a review cause I disagree with a previous one. I found the coffee drinks to be well made, delicious and surprisingly cheaper than local Coffee Bean and Star$'s. Also, on my last visit, I went with my dog and hubby and they offered us water for our dog when they noticed me sitting outside with the dog. Very pleasant owners, and the food is surprisingly fresh and always delicious. I intend to frequent this local gem. Just my two cents... read more

Favorite place in redlands for a vegetarian sandwich!

Best breakfast sandwich in theI.E. The Mongolian sandwich is also fantastic. Would recommend it every day!!!! read more

Love this place! I always order the chai tea latte and it is to die for every single time! Great people and has a nice comfortable ambiance. Highly recommend! read more

Mongolian beef sandwich with a Greek salad! You'll thank me later! Heska and her husband are very nice people. I come here a few times a month not quite on the regular status but somehow heska still remembers what I order ever time I come in:) the food can at times be a little on the slow side but its expected on a weekend with a 2-3 man operation read more

LOVE!!! My boyfriend (and my family) love this place so much. My boyfriend and I hadn't been here in a very long time and Heska remembered exactly what we used to order! This place is such a sweet cozy place to eat. Wonderful food and amazing coffee. read more

Delicious sandwiches on homemade bread! The owner is very sweet and personable. Food came out quickly and fresh tasting.

Quaint and homey in a very literal way. Very friendly service. Good sandwiches. I'll definitely go back.

So dissapointment! After reading the reviews we decided to order dinner for take out. I was surprised at how pricey it was but figured it would be worth it. When we got home we immediately noticed the gross stale sour cream and onion potato chips in the "haystack" that were supposed to be Fritos. We had to pick through just to eat the rest of the dish. The clam chowder was ok. Our daughter had the meatball sandwich which was also just ok. The worst part of our meal was the chef salad. A small side salad costing almost $8. The meat in it was clearly old and the ham smelled really bad. The ranch dressing was disgusting. It tasted sour and rancid. We couldn't even eat the salad. It was immediately thrown out. We were so disappointed from this $50 meal that I almost felt like calling them but decided to yelp instead. read more

Super friendly service - the real kind, not cheesy, superficial, funky-cool deco, delicious coffee, and delicious sandwiches! The veggie sandwich had an entire salad on it, and my friend claimed her blt sandwich was the best...and she's a caterer :) Glad we weren't deterred by the guy who had to wait for an hour. We were served quickly! And our dog was welcomed with water, on the patio. Will definitely make a detour to come back! read more

A hidden gem! Outstanding service & menu. I had the breakfast sandwich and pineapple smoothie. Definitely the BEST breakfast in town (Mentone). Cannot wait to go back and try something else! read more

Yum! Super Yummy sandwiches! Great customer service, hot and cold sandwiches! The rolls are so fresh! It's a fav!

great little place, owners are lovely, food is great just an all around nice place to eat

I've always wanted to visit this place, but never taken the time to do so. So when I finally did, the first thing I ordered was coffee. The owner was very friendly and nice. I have to say coffee was not that great, so that is why I didn't give them a 5 star. However, everything about it was unique and I really like that. I liked it so much I took my friend there that afternoon for the second time to try their sandwiches. Their prices is very reasonable. Heska's Sugar Shack is very good with sandwiches for sure. Their bread is really good. The owner said they bake their own bread and most of everything is homemade, so I really like that. Heska's is a family owned business so I try to bring business to family owned places. It's definitely a unique little place, an eclectic look and feel to it. It has cards and games for you to use it, too. I would definitely bring my business there anytime. read more

Great local spot with a welcoming, friendly atmosphere and the nicest owners around. Skip the bland and boring Subway and stop here instead for a sandwich with personality! read more

This place is fantastic!!! I can't believe it has taken us this long to check it out. We both had the breakfast sandwich with bacon and then shared the biscuits and gravy. Yummy! Very welcoming atmosphere, they make you feel right at home. Clean, friendly, and great food, what more could you ask? We will definitely add this our weekend schedule for sure! Maybe even go back later today for a late lunch! read more

Heska's Sugar Shack - Bacon breakfast sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Mentone, California

See all

I have been going here for over ten years and I love it! Heska is a beautiful person inside out and no one makes a sandwich like she does! If you like spicy try the Mongolian sandwich extra spicy with jalepenos and a chicken salad as your side :) read more

Everything so beyond amazing here. Atmosphere is chill and homey and everything they serve they make by hand. Yum!

Very cool! Like being invited into a friends house for coffee.. That is at a price. Bit pricey, environment was awesome though and food was good read more

I found this little hidden place to be amazing! Heskas appears to be converted from a house and has the cutest atmosphere! Heska and her husband love disneyland and she was more than happy to come talk to us after we ate :) The bread is homemade along with everything else on the menu...perfect place for soup and sandwiches when you want an awesome home cooked meal! read more

I was STARVING on the way back from Big Bear and was in some serious need of a sandwich - enter yelp and Heska's Sugar Shack - great food, super sweet lady behind the register (Heska I think) and super cute decor. We had the tuna and the veggie and both were phenomenal (tuna was slightly better though). Definitely would come back when taking the back way to/from BB =] Only reason it wasn't a 5 was because it took a while to order/receive food and I'm pretty sure we were over charged BUT still amazing. read more

This place is great food, quirky, and an all around great experience. I don't know what I like more, Heska's awesome and bubbly personality or the handmade fantastic food. Do yourself a favor and eat here. read more

Love this place! Everything is homemade and tastes great! I love the chicken and dumpling soup! Very cozy place to sit and relax and the owners are great people. They make their own bread that is sooo good! We always buy rolls for our holiday meals and everyone raves about how good they are. Great coffee and pastries too! read more

YumYum yum! Eat here! Home make goodness! The sandwiches are great! the Beef tip or the Mongolian chicken are my favorite!

I love their Rachael sandwich. It is sooo yummy. And their Greek salad is amazing! I'm not a big fan of their soups, but all of the salads are great. The Mongolian Beef sandwich is great too, especially if you ask for it extra spicy. Love the little rooms, and the wi-fi too. read more
