Our Story
Since 1921, Sugar Bowl has been a Des Plaines tradition, evolving from Mr. and Mrs. Files’ original soda fountain and candy store into the beloved breakfast and lunch destination you know today. Our commitment to good old-fashioned hospitality makes every visit memorable.
We specialize in fluffy pancakes, hearty omelettes, satisfying sandwiches, and our famous fresh-squeezed orange juice. With bright home-style decor and our historic neon sign from 1957, Sugar Bowl continues the tradition of serving up smiles for over 100 years.
