Sugar n' Spice- Paddock Hills

"Sugar n' Spice" tastes pretty nice!

Chances are that if you have ever driven north on Reading Road, you passed an odd pink and green building on the side of the road. If you ever paid any attention to it while driving by, some of you may have wondered to yourself, "what in the hell is this place?"

Well let me tell you that "Sugar n' Spice" is a fantastic breakfast restaurant, and it is one worth going to if you're looking for a cheap and quick breakfast before you head to class. They're generally open from 7 am to 3 pm daily, and they offer some really good breakfast that will come to your table very quickly.  When I went there, it was actually around lunchtime, but being the breakfast person that I am, I ordered four of their "wispy thin" pancakes along with some bacon. I'd say that it wasn't even five minutes later when I got my food, they were that quick. Even better, the meal hit the spot! I loved how thin the pancakes were because the maple syrup permeated the pancakes even more than usual, which is a personal preference of mine. Also, the bacon strips were nice and thick.

I wasn't able to get any pictures of the interior of the restaurant, but I can tell you that the artwork on their walls is shall we say, "unique." There are pictures of huge servings of breakfast food with drawings of kids frolicking around it. It's the best way I can describe it, and it's actually quite humorous once you look at them.

The interior is also very small, and considering that the restaurant has been open for 70 years, you almost feel as if you are entering yesteryear inside of there. It's like being in an old-time diner, similar to something you would see on Turner Classic Movies, sans the bizarre artwork on their walls, of course. Their servers aren't overly social, but they are nice, and as mentioned earlier, they will have your food out to you very quickly.

Here are my ratings for Sugar n' Spice:

Atmosphere: 4. It's really old-school in there, which may not be some people's cup of tea.

Service: 5. Like I said earlier, they won't make conversation with you, but they'll have your food out to you quickly.

Food: 4. Their breakfast isn't an absolute knockout, but it'll get the job done if you're looking for something quick and filling.

Overall: 4. It's a pretty cool place to be in, and considering how close it is to UC, I'll definitely make a return trip!

If you're ever craving for breakfast one morning and you're around the UC area, do yourself a favor and make the 10 minute drive up Reading Road to Sugar n' Spice, it is definitely worth it.

See you next time everyone!
