Eversave had a deal for Sugar (valid at either location) a while back, and we bought two of them, knowing how much time we spend in the area. We first went to breakfast at the Roslindale location a few months ago. It's a popular spot: We had to endure a short wait, about 20 minutes, before we were seated. This gave us plenty of time to ogle the baked goods in the bakery case.
Once we were seated and had our juice and coffee, Jeff ordered the Good Ol' Egg Breakfast with potatoes, toast, bacon, and a pancake. He got his eggs scrambled and was pleased with the crispy bacon.
And he enjoyed the fluffy pancake as well.
I was craving biscuits and gravy, so I went with "The Country" -- eggs alongside a buttermilk biscuit topped with sausage gravy. I ordered my eggs over-easy so there would be plenty of runny yolk to mingle with the sausage gravy, which was chock-full of meaty sausage chunks and slices.
On our second visit, Jeff ordered the exact same thing. He's a creature of habit. But I decided to try the Breakfast Sandwich To Remember -- a buttermilk biscuit sandwiching an egg with melted farmhouse cheddar and a topping of seared pancetta and fig preserves. It is definitely one memorable breakfast sandwich with sweet and salty, savory notes. I would never have put fig preserves (or any preserves) on my egg sandwich, but I will be trying that at home now.
Sugar Baking Co. & Restaurant is a great little spot, and I know we'll be back there often. I still have to try "The Mountains" (ham and sunny eggs over Manchego grits), and I'd like to make my way through the lunch and dinner menus at some point too.
What are your favorite little breakfast spots?

Ooooh, what delicious looking breakfasts! I've been to the Real Deal in both JP and West Rox, and I've also been to Sugar bakery in WR, but not yet the actual sit-down restaurant in Roslindale! Since we live super close by in JP, I'm definitely thinking that we need to check this out. Brunch is my fav meal to eat out :)
I really like the sound of fig jam on a breakfast sandwich! After all, fig and cheese is so good!
I heard about Sugar just a few weeks ago while at an event. Roslindale is so cute.
I have heard great things about this place but rarely venture to Roslindale, however, this looks worth the trip!
these breakfast plates look amazing! what a fun idea to put fig spread on an egg sandwich.
This is our kind of place. Breakfast AND a bakery. Heaven.
This place looks adorable, and I love the idea of adding preserves to an egg sandwich! Our current favorite breakfast spot is Cafe Rustica - it's right by our house, and has some fantastic iced coffees and egg sandwiches.

this looks so good! I love the option you picked out- biscuits are always so good for breakfast!
I only went to Roslindale once while I lived in Boston and it was a bit scary. And kind of a fail since the restaurant we had intended to go to had actually closed...and it was approximately 3 degrees outside. Non-ideal. I'd love to try this breakfast spot though! Sounds fabulous!
It's changed a lot and most parts are really cute. (Some parts are still a little scary.) Where this restaurant is is really cute though... right by where they do a nice farmers' market on Saturdays.
You should definitely check it out. It's great!
Woah that looks outrageous. You know how I feel about crispy bacon and runny eggs :). I will have to recreate that breakfast sandwich myself. I love the mix of sweet and savory in a breakfast sandwich. I have been known to make egg and cheese sandwiches on cinnamon raisin bagels....but fig spread is a WHOLE new level...LOVE...and can't wait to see you soooooooon!!
I had NO idea there were 2 different Sugar spots in the area. Clearly I need to head here for breakfast!!
Sues
I've never been to Roslindale but this place looks great. Fig jam on an egg sandwich sounds amazing to me...
those preserves do sound like a good idea!! yum.
Living in Florida for five years gave me a soft spot for biscuits and graving, looks awesome! We have been really into brunch at Deep Ellum recently. So good and so reasonable!
I've always heard good things about the brunch. Your breakfast sandwich sounds delicious and those potatoes look like their done exactly how I like them.
Egg and fig jam sounds so good. I went to Sugar Bakery a year and a half ago but sadly the wait was too long so we just got stuff from the bakery
