About Sugar Rae's

Sugar Rae’s turns out enormous, messy burgers and brisk dawn coffees with zero pretension. Sutherland regulars know to arrive early for morning rolls layered with double egg, bacon, and sausage on fresh Italian bread—or brace for the midday rush when thick patties take over the grill. Stacked tall with bacon, pickles, and dripping house sauce, creations like the Dominator and Double Yankee demand two hands, plenty of napkins, and maybe a knife down the center before you even attempt a bite.

  • Oversized, Sauced Burgers: Thick patties stacked with toppings and house-made sauce arrive so generously loaded they often require cutting in half to eat.
  • Early Morning Brekkie Runs: The doors open before dawn with Peter pulling fresh Allpress coffees alongside double egg and bacon rolls on Italian bread.

    Awesome cafe in Sutherland close to the train station. Great coffee, food, service and the staff are lovely! Highly recommend this cafe if you are in the area plus they are open early.

Frequently Asked Questions

How large are the burger portions?

The cafe is known for notably generous, oversized portions. The burgers come with thick patties and heavy toppings that can be messy to eat, with items like the Dominator often needing to be cut in half.

Can I get burgers on Saturdays?

Yes, but keep in mind Saturday trading is limited to morning hours, opening at 6:00 AM and closing around 11:00 AM, so burgers are not available for Saturday lunch. Weekday service runs from 5:00 AM to 2:00 PM, and the cafe is closed on Sundays.

Is there a wait during lunchtime?

Expect a rush during standard weekday lunchtimes, which can result in a short wait for hot food orders like burgers.
