Eggs and bacon part of my French toast combo
Mary Jane C.

Went to Sugar Rush cafe with some friends that flew into town on a whim. They have been in Walnut for quite awhile but I had never been to this restaurant before. I got the cinnamon raisin French toast loaf with the candied bananas - I could eat a giant bowl of the warm bananas if given the option (haha). I don't usually use syrup on my French toast so I used the bananas as my syrup and they paired beautifully with the raisin French toast. The eggs were cooked as requested and big slices of bacon were provided. My husband got a burger to go and we tasted his fries (I don't normally eat fried food but those fries were GOOD). We have been back since and hope they reopen soon (after the NY!)

It's still one of our favorite breakfast or brunch places in Walnut. If you want fresh and delicious meals, then you are in the right place. We took our friends from out of state to have a big breakfast there, and they were impressed by the taste, presentation, and portion. They also liked their coffee and tea. The food was so good and we especially liked their hashbrowns, waffles, and sandwiches. The place is cozy and they have a huge menu and we liked the food we've tried so far.

Coming here now sucks because the food is very mid. We used to enjoy their special waffles but they got rid of it a long time ago. Now its overpriced Dennys quality food

Steak & Eggs with Toast
Daniel L.

Nice little cafe serving good breakfast. Was recommended this place by an old instructor and surely did not disappoint. Staff were all very friendly and helpful paired along the cozy ambiance of a cafe. Opted for their cinnamon raison french toast combo, steak & eggs, Iced Angelino. Everything was quite tasty. The only dislike was their "caramelized bananas" and iced angelino. The caramlized bananaes were essentially just sliced bananas and strawberries in a sweet syrup. The, coffee, on other hand, tasted like an ordinary coffee. But, nonetheless, everything else was quite satisfying.

Sugar Rush Cafe is a neighborhood gem that locals frequent. It is a small family owned business so you get delicious cooked meals without the overly inflated price. The owner is very nice and friendly. The restaurant is small with approximately 10 tables but it is very comfortable place for breakfast with friends and family. My favorite is their 2 Eggs Breakfast with choice of protein, which comes with their hash brown and a side of toast. Highly recommended!

Latte

Brunch for our last day in California. This place was a very close to our hotel and had good reviews. We arrive first thing I noticed where limited parking that was the only complaint of the visit. It was very comfy cozy inside the yellow wise made it very welcoming the server Came in that our drink order right away. We ordered raisin French toast and the chicken spinach melt area. I paired my sandwich with a caramel latte, which was worth every penny. I paid for it. Our food came out surprising real quick. We were very high. I would definitely visit again. Sidenote I would be cautious on parties larger than four or five because the place is small and shine.

Sugar rush,我很喜歡的一家早餐店,雖然他們的地點比較偏僻,但是我去的時候幾乎都是人聲鼎沸的,原因也很簡單,因為他們的東西實在,份量又大,服務態度又好,東西又好吃的原因加起來我相信已經是很多人心中的小廚房了,如果你還不知道這家店,你真的應該來吃看看,你就很喜歡然後會常常回來

It's been a while since my first review, but I have visited several times since then. Sugar Rush Café was one of our local weekday lunch spots, but we've only been in the office 1 day a week for a long time, so my experiences have been fewer and further between. My most recent visit was the same experience that I've had in the past. The food is very good, you get large portions, and they serve breakfast all day. The service is fast, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's great. The staff rushes to get orders taken and prepared, but they're not overly friendly. The ladies in the kitchen take pride in the food they make, and it shows, but sometimes things are done so quickly that a request like "no onions" is missed. Also, the prices are a little more expensive than other similar places.

Looking for a local cafe and found Sugar Rush cafe close by the house. They have been established for 16 years and I didn't even know. First impression is always and usually right. My first thought as I came in the door was it's going to be okay. It's actually more than okay. This is mom and pop little cafe. Serving breakfast and lunch. Their hours of operation is short from 7am-2pm. It's a small cafe , just about 7-8 table inside only . No patio. It's kind of hidden between industrial offices and buildings. First thing I noticed, is that they are a bit dated but they kept the place clean and organized. Looks like the owners take pride in their operation and cafe. That is so important to have great food but a clean environment to enjoy too. And they got both. I enjoyed my breakfast and the latte. I spoke to the owner himself and he's super friendly. A very hard working guy. I'll definitely will go back again for my quick breakfast and latte.

This place is awesome! It can be missed if you drive too fast down Valley Blvd, so pay attention. Co-worker and I were craving diner food but the good kind of diner food. We came across this spot and gave it a try for lunch. Don't underestimate a smaller size establishment as you can be missing out on some really good service and food. We both got the grilled chicken spinach panini sandwich. I added the sweet potato fries and an Emerald Hot green tea. Sooooo gooood. The tea was tasty- cute tea pot with an infuser for the legit herbals. I added some honey and I was feeling my Friday! The sandwich had such good flavor with the spinach and grilled cheese added. Honestly, a very good Chicken sandwich. The service was attentive, good music, clean and fast- within my lunch hour so we were happy! We vowed to return for waffles and pancakes and service again. Such a friendly environment.

Their AMAZING, pour over coffee!!!!

EXCELLENT FOOD, EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE, impeccably CLEAN, great music! Ray's Favorite is MY absolute favorite!! But the entire menu is FANTASTIC!!! The smoothies are delicious as well. But the pour over coffee is to die fo

Found the waffle suit my taste !! Best so far around this area. They give good portion for the steak and eggs . But the sauce was too sour for me.and I wish my iced latte could be bolder . Definitely worth the penny I paid ,happy customer.

Don't over complicate it. The Sugar Rush Cafe is a super chill spot on Valley BLVD. Great place to meet with a friend before afternoon lectures. Be careful though! This place closes super early at 2:30. Food was solid, nothing that changed my life but tasted good nevertheless. The Milk tea I ordered came in a huge container though, probably the best milk tea to price ratio I've had in a minute. The interior and exterior are nothing to rave home about but the place is still inviting nevertheless. Our waitress was super cool also! Check this spot out with a friend.

Their sweeter breakfast items are also huge portions and just so yummy. They do amazing dinners too, the salmon cakes are unbelievably good. They also host private dinners, which is actually what I did for my best friend's engagement dinner. Huge shoutout to the owner, Cat, who was so amazing to work with and made the whole night feel extra special. She was so patient with all my questions, made the planning process super easy, and even helped create a customized menu for our dinner. You can really tell how much care goes into this place.

Just ate at Native Fields and had a horrible experience. When I walked in, I told the host it was…read morejust one person and that I wanted to sit outside. I went outside and sat down, but the waiter serving the patio completely ignored me. We made eye contact multiple times, yet he never acknowledged me, offered water, or brought a menu. After sitting there for over 15 minutes feeling uncomfortable and ignored, I went back inside to ask why no one had helped me. The host said he would send someone over. Eventually, another employee -- who appeared to be serving coffee and was not even my assigned waiter -- came outside, brought me water and a menu, and took my order. He even mentioned that he was not my waiter but would put the order in for me. Meanwhile, the original waiter continued walking past my table, seeing me sitting there the entire time, and still never said a single word to me -- even when my food arrived. The only time he finally approached me was when I asked for the check. I told him directly that I felt uncomfortable being ignored for so long and that the experience honestly felt racist and unwelcoming. On top of that, the food was disappointing. I did not enjoy the French toast or the pancakes at all. I will never return and absolutely would not recommend this restaurant.

We went on a Friday evening with another couple. It was great that we were seated right away and…read moreour drink orders taken. The restaurant is 'open' and "cheery", a bar to sit at and tables of different sizes. Nice selection of 'on tap' beers. Family style in the name of the game. We ordered the two protein and side. The brisket and pulled pork were amazing. The potato salad had a wonderful flavor. Coleslaw was ok. We also ordered the Garlic Parmesan Fries that I couldn't stop eating. All in all a great little place

About 4 TVs and they had different sporting events showing Service- this is where it started to go south. Your front of the house and those few minutes that a new customer has is crucial. Not very friendly and not really acknowledging the people that were standing waiting to be seated. Finally got a table, gave us menus and then 15 minutes go by and they haven't taken our order for drinks. As I look around there were 4 tables that had been seated, as well and no drink orders. We all waited about the same amount of time to get our drink orders. This unfortunately is why i took off 2 stars. To me, this unacceptable. After being seated and food came out, no one checked in until I needed a box and to pay. Did not feel welcomed and /or appreciated that I was supporting a small local business. Food- Brisket without the BBQ didn't have enough flavor. These types of meat don't need a hype man- the BBQ sauce. They need to be good on their own. Buuut Meat was tender. I read that their sausage is not great it's quite dry so I skipped it, my son had ordered ribs so I was going to steal from him, so I decided to get chicken- dark meat options. Chicken was very tasty, juicy and tender. It was the star of the dinner plate!!! Whaat!!! Their coleslaw- loved how everything was chopped nice and consistent- loved the Julienned green apples- again missing seasoning. DINNER ROLLS- Soooo fucken dry and not warmed up. I expect that level of hardness on my rolls when they are about to expire. Warm them up put them in a basket and give me butter. Such a small - perhaps minute action- but it was a huge miss. Other patrons were also commenting how bad the rolls were. We even joked, "death by dinner roll! " LOL. Cornbread- small portion but packed with flavor. I would say ease up on the Honey. I want to taste the corn bread too. It's unfortunate, I didn't have the experience others have had. Most likely not going to add it to my new restaurant rotation. There are other better options with better customer service.

Almost made it a Hawaiian day, but next time. So yeah, it's in a large strip mall with lots of parking. Inside is very spacious and lively, as advertised. Lots of mounted flat screens and plenty of neon signage to remind you that they also serve cold brews here. Definitely a happening spot for Dodgers games for sure. Menu is extensive with lots of options for burgers and sides. Took the recommendation from my awesome server and ordered the following: - Stinkin' Bun Burger - 9/10: yo, this was incredible. Brioche bun was perfectly crisped, patty was thick and full of flavor. Loved the garlic cheese spread. Just brought it to another level. Well-balanced and not too garlicky. Just delicious. Pro tip: Mon-Fri are their lunch specials. So you can get a side and a drink with your burger of choice at a reduced price. Otherwise, everything is a la carte. So yes, a good time was had by all!
