Sunnyside Breakfast Lounge Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    I walked in and there was a person scrubbing floors in the kitchen where they were prepping food. That was really off-putting. But tried to be a good sport and ordered food anyway. Got a chicken sandwich and fries. The fries were good but the sandwich was incredibly bland. Husband had some pancakes which were decent but not good enough to come back.

    I so wanted to give this a higher rating but I just couldn't. On the positive side, service was good and staff was friendly. They also gave us a free breakfast voucher since we weren't crazy about the food. On the down side, the sausage was really bad, the potatoes weren't cooked long enough and overall the food just wasn't that great.. I think they need to start over with a new chef and then this place could have potential..

    My dad and I really enjoyed our breakfast here today after a long bike ride down Usery. If you're looking for a nice patio and place to refuel , this is it! Friendly staff and great food ! PCH Benedict was the highlight if the meal. Definitely will be back again.

    They just opened in the Egg and I location. They are slammed and the wait is loooong for food. The smoothies are very good and fresh. They made the space open and nice with an open kitchen. I'll give them the benefit of doubt for the wait bc it's new. Onto the food. Not too shabby, spice level very low, salt level very low befitting the hood. It's better than what was there before and I'll give then another shot. I hope they spice up the food a bit once they settle in!

    Just ate some lunch at Sunnyside Breakfast Lounge, it was very good. I went with the intention of ordering breakfast, but couldn't resist the muffuletta sandwich. Not a real New Orleans style muffuletta sandwich, but it was still good. I sorta feel like there are two sandwiches in the world that if you can't do them right, you should not do them at all. One of those sandwiches is the fried Monte Cristo and the other sandwich is the Muffuletta sandwich. So, although it was good, it could be better. :) My daughter ordered the Sunnyside chicken panini. Both items were really good, nice sized portions and nice presentation. We both had leftovers. The staff was uber friendly and the chef came out to ask how our food was. Every staff member came by at one point to make sure we were well taken care of. The next time we go I want to try a mixologist juice drink and those Nutella pancakes! I made a comment when I checked in, saying that I hated the brightly colored pleather booths, but after I sat there for awhile, they grew on me. But I still don't love them. Our waitress was very sweet and it was apparent she wanted us to be very happy with our food and the service. I will go back soon. So happy to have a breakfast place close to home, "Nestled in the Las Sendas Mountains" ....as the menu states.

    This place sucks. Waited ten minutes then we were seated. We sat at a booth that had condensation dripping in three spots on to the table and myself. We had to requst a table change so the water won't get in my food. The service and good was so slowwwww !!!!! It took us about one hour plus to get in and out. I had high hopes that this place will be good. But I am disappointed.

    At this posting, Sunnyside Breakfast Lounge had only been open for three weeks. It appeared that the staff was been able to work-out most of the "new restaurant" bumps-in-the-road. My party of four arrived at 10 AM on a Sunday morning. The first wave of the "after-church" crowd were arriving and, about 60-70% of the tables were full. The hostess indicated that we would be seated within 5-10 minutes, however, we were taken to our table within 2-3 minutes. Our server greeted us within 3-4 minutes and took our beverage orders. Coffee and water were very quickly served. The coffee was flavorful, hot and much better than what we have been served in many other restaurants. Our initial cup of coffee was poured and a carafe of coffee was placed on the table. If there were any specials, we were not notified of them. The menu contained a wide variety of innovative breakfast and lunch entrees. Many of the dishes have a southwestern flavor with distinctive ingredients, e.g. napalitos (prickly pear cactus pads). The prices are competitive. A diner who drinks only one cup of coffee might find the $2.25 charge excessive. Our server did tell us that the restaurant also offers a create-your-own omelet option, which was not on the menu. Our server was attentive, friendly, willing to accommodate a special order (substituting a portobello mushroom for the meat in an egg entree), and kept our coffee and water containers full. The quality of service we received from her was superior for this type of restaurant and indicative of her having been a server for over ten years. Our entree order consisted of the PCH Benedict (shared), the Chorizo Benedict (with the portobello substituted for the chorizo), and a burger. Our server asked the needed questions to ensure that food arrived as desired, e.g. how would you like the eggs in the Benedict cooked? Our entrees arrived within 10-12 minutes, which was an acceptable time period for us. The shared dish was split in the kitchen, which was appreciated and is becoming very unusual for restaurants in this price range. The restaurant does not charge for splitting an order. Our egg and burger dishes were prepared as ordered and served hot. The whites of the poached eggs were fully cooked. The Hollandaise sauce was smooth and creamy with a light yellow and opaque color. The seasoned fries were firm, hot, flavorful without being overly spicy. The peppered red potatoes were firm (perhaps, slightly undercooked) and had distinctive, but pleasurable flavor. Our server checked-back with us several minutes after we were served. The discount coupon we presented was honored without any problems and our server pointed-out to us the credit on the bill. While the restaurant has a few vegetarian breakfast and lunch entrees, they appear to be willing to accommodate modifications including substituting a portobello mushroom for the meat in egg and burger dishes. Both the men's and women's restrooms were clean and well-stocked with supplies. While our party thought that the restaurant would benefit from additional sound-absorbing material, we were able to adequately hear each other and the background noise did not significantly impact or ability to converse. adorn The walls are adorned with two substantial murals and smaller nicknacks. The Sunnyside Breakfast Lounge does have a Facebook page, but the menu is not posted. If restaurant has a webpage, it was not listed within the first two pages of a Google search. The latter situation needs to be resolved quickly by the restaurant owners. I look forward eating at this restaurant again and exploring other menu offerings.

    Mixed bag. The place is nicely decorated. The staff friendly and attentive. I had pancakes. Very good. My wife had french toast. Disappointing. This is one of those places you want to succeed. They have some work to do.

  • Al W.

    This place was gross. I got the french toast, with vegetables, & a side of fruit. The french toast was completely soggy, like it sat in the egg batter & barely got cooked. The fruits & vegetables I ordered were not very good either, and those should be hard to mess up. The fruit just needs to be served, there is no cooking, baking, sauteeing, or processing, just serve good, fresh fruit. Not exactly a cheap place to eat. The place was not busy, but I can see why after eating there just once I do not ever want to go back there again. This place is obviously in business for the money, to buy as cheap as they can, & sell as high as people will pay, not to offer good quality food that reflects the value of the price.

    Been there 2-3 more times since my initial review. The food just does not have much taste and the service is very slow for the number of customers that are in there. There are far better options in our neighborhood

    Just opened two weeks ago and already has bugs worked out....See bad review below. Great organic food menu n regular food too. No lines now because its new. Enjoy while you can. I guarantee hour waits soon.

  • Donna M.

    First time there and I won't be back. Ordered biscuits and gravy, a special for the day. When I got it, it was lukewarm at best. Sent it back, was returned to me no hotter than the first time. Waitress said she could warm it again but I decided why bother. No manager came by to see if he could make things right, no offer to make me something else. Not a restaurant that cares if their customers return.

    Wife and I ate here this morning. Was a Sunday around 11 am so we expected a bit of a wait. After around 10 minutes we were seated. It was very loud from both customers and kitchen noise. We ordered and I went to wash my hands. The restroom was cleaner than a Walmart bathroom... But the paper towels were empty so I had to use the air dryer. I ordered the chicken fried steak and my wife ordered the Sonoran crepes. Mine came with eggs and house fries. When they brought it out it only came with a tiny cup of catsup, so speak quickly if you need more. Miraculously it was enough for me. The Sonoran crepes my wife ordered were fantastic (I tried a bite). Not too spicy, I personally would have got it hotter. All in all it was a great meal. Our waiter was pleasant and kept our coffees full. There are many other items on the menu we both want to try so we'll be back for sure. The juice drinks look great but are a little pricey (more than $10 for basic drinks). We do recommend trying this place as it was great for our first time there and we will definitely be back again.

    Great food and service. The bloody Mary's were ok .. Not $7 bucks worthy! The kids meal was perfect portion and prepared with the same effort as the adult meals. We both enjoyed the sornoran crepes which were absolutely wonderful. Rich. Flavorful. Different. I used the Yelp Deal! $12 for $20!

  • Alicia M.

    I had the PCH eggs benedict and it was out of this world! They use the freshest ingredients and seasonal fruit. I also ordered a miss peachy juice drink and a side of grilled chicken. Both were unbelievable and left me feeling full and healthy. This is the most AMAZING breakfast spot I have ever been too. The service was also outstanding and quick. I would drive from north scottsdale just to come eat here again. Highly recommended!

    As a 15+ year resident of Las Sendas I've seen breakfast places come and go from the NE corner of Power and McDowell. And I could never understand why they couldn't last in an affluent area of Mesa with literally no competition. Then Sunnyside came and I realized what others had been lacking - mimosas and bloody mary's served alongside decent breakfast comfort food. My husband and toddler have enjoyed Sunnyside since they've opened - until today. I even overlooked the one time they forgot about us for over 40 minutes because they were understaffed. This morning though once the bill came and I handed the server our card she spent over 10 minutes and 3 credit card terminals trying to force our card through. The card wasn't declining, their system was down. The server instead blamed our type of card as a reason for the fault and then asked me to go to the CVS to get payment. I come from the customer service industry, I have made a career supporting and serving others and the golden rule in the service industry is 'the client is always right' especially in an instance where the client actually was in the right! Rather than blame my card the waitress should have said her system was down and asked if I could return with another form of payment. Thanks Sunnyside for making me realize driving the extra few miles to Gilbert is worth it for better service.

    Our group of ten to twelve normally have no problem making a reservation! This venue does NOT reserve their separate room for a group! Several calls were made to no avail; we were delayed in being seated this morning until the front desk could gain approval from management for use of the room! All of us enjoyed our breakfast selections! Pleasant peach bellini was available! Our server was personable at first and then became increasingly snippy! Jamie's errors were of her own doing! Also, when politely asked (after all orders were delivered) to photograph our group she said "not now, later".... "later" never arrived! When in the service industry, customer service should be exemplary; otherwise, a patron's only recourse is to be reflective with the gratuity!

    The food here is underwhelming I've only been for breakfast so lunch might be another story. There seems to be a shortage of good breakfast places in the area and the service is good, the atmosphere is nice. we would continue to visit this place if it were more convenient. It's definitely not worth a special trip.

    Very good food- Chorizo Benedict is very tasty and made to perfection! Only downfall- orange juice is $5 without refills.

  • Abir L.

    Great food, atmosphere is nice. Service is great and food comes out fresh and in just the right amount of time. Prices are pretty reasonable although juices are a bit too expensive. The $1 pancakes are absolutely delicious! 2 medium size pancakes are served, but you have to order a drink to be able to get this deal. Since the juices are expensive, my husband ordered a cup of coffee which is reasonably priced. Definitely recommended, definitely coming back and bringing family here next time! I'm feeling super good after this great breakfast here, yum

    TERRIBLE service. I came here on a Sunday morning wanting to get ONE smoothie. I asked the man up front how long it would take and they said less than 5 minutes.. 15 minutes later they give me my $6.00 smoothie HALF FULL. HALF FULL. These people were so busy that they had the nerve to give me my smoothie HALF FILLED UP. I paid $6.00 for that smoothie and not only did I have to wait 15 minutes for them to make my smoothie when the original wait time was under 5, they gave me a half full smoothie and then acted like it was completely OK. I ended up having to wait ANOTHER 10 minutes for my smoothie.. 25 minutes for a freaking smoothie, I could have literally gone across the street to Bashas and gotten some naked juice and called it a day. Instead I had high hopes for Sunnyside Breakfast Lounge and wanted to support a local business. I won't be coming back here, even though we literally live right across the street.

    SO. GOOD. I found this place after reading all the positive Yelp Reviews and it did not disappoint! I had the Banana Nutella crepes which were filling, but not in an overly sweet or fattening way. My boyfriend had the Mr. Meaty skillet and, unlike a lot of other restaurants, they didn't scrimp on their meat or cheese. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious! Although we had some of their more indulgent options, there is still an appetizing selection of gluten free and vegetarian options to choose from. The service was fast and friendly, but didn't make us feel rushed. The overall vibe is high-class comfort food without the high-class price tag. We'll definitely be coming back!

    Great breakfast spot. The PCH eggs Benedict was excellent. The juices, while pricey, were worth it. I had the Hangover Cure and my gf had the Miss Peachy and we both loved them. The service was excellent and quick.

    I've had breakfast here 3 times now. I love the bar with options like mimosas or Bloody Mary. Their eggs Benedict is great. I had biscuits and gravy this time. It tasted good but wasn't very hot. I asked for a side of gravy and that was hot so it made my meal better. I order sausage on the side. It was barely browned at all so I only had a bite. Next time I will just ask for extra browned sausage. We had good service! I'd definitely go again and again.

    Tree hugger juice with nopales is amazing, you won't find anything like it this far east in Mesa. Spicy chicken sandwich. yes. Whatever salad I got with chicken, yes. I've had breakfast there before too and yes. All yes all the time. Service and decor is on point

    Awesome breakfast lounge with great service and great good! I started my brunch with a mimosa, made with fresh squeezed orange juice. A traditional drink made perfectly the orange juice to champagne ratio was up to par. For my meal I order the garden omelette. The omelette was the perfect size for me, very filling! I loved all the vegetables to name a few it had kale, mushrooms, asparagus and spinach. My favorite part of my brunch was drink I ordered with my meal, the Moscow mule recommended by the chef himself! I was more than pleased with Chef Gabriel's recommendation it was so crisp, refreshing with a hint of lime. The Moscow mule is my new favorite drink! If your in Mesa, AZ I recommend you check it out!

    Took my mom here for Mothers Day and was very impressed. The service was great, everyone was quick and attentive without being pushy. The food came out with perfect timing and was delicious, portioned properly and at the correct temperature. Even on a super busy day like Mother's Day this place ran like a well oiled ship, hats off to all the management and staff. What I appreciated the most was they let my mom and I have a nice relaxed breakfast and didn't try to rush us out. We were there a little over an hour but once the brunch crowd showed up we left. Also, they did not give me any problems when i used a Yelp deal. I will definately be coming back

  • Edgar O.

    What makes this place special is the high quality ingredients that go into every plate. It is an absolute treat to eat here. For the price you get a delicious, wholesome, fresh-made breakfast. The pancakes are a must-have. I love their regular buttermilk pancakes, but the specialty pancakes are killer too. I like the ones with bananas and nutella. Wow!!! The staff is super friendly (ask for Jamie!) and goes out of their way to make you happy. I love, love, love this place. Oh, and you MUST get the bloody mary. (I'd sell my mother into slavery for one of these drinks.) I'm on my third as I write this.

  • L L.

    This place sucks now! They changed their menu. The burgers and fries are no longer the same. We tried breakfast and it was even worse. For a breakfast place they should be able to prepare a simple egg as ordered. I had rye toast that tasted like an old moldy piece of rye bread and dry like a crouton. Their ham is processed and crap. I used to love this place and now with the menu changes, the food is just not the same. It could be the chef? IDK? Anyway, at least the service is close to the best that you would probably find in the industry and I have been here on several occasions and have never had bad service.

  • Ryelle R.

    Awesome spot for breakfast! The service was quick, and friendly. The food is awesome, and the Bloody Mary's are strong. My boyfriend and I came in on a Sunday morning after finding out that our usual breakfast spot had an hour wait. We were seated immediately, and greeted by a very friendly server. He was very attentive with refills, as well as checking back to make sure we were happy with our orders. I had the Butchers Omelette & it was great! My boyfriend had a Chorizo Burrito, and was happy but, wished it was a little bigger. A little pricey for breakfast, but I think it was worth it. I enjoyed the Reggae playing in the background, as well as the décor of the restaurant. All in all, a very good vibe, as well as experience.

  • Carolyn H.

    Decided to give it a try & we were not disappointed. Great food & great service. I loved the variety of drinks. Them adding the lounge part to the place was smart. They have something for everyone. Fresh juiced drinks with kale, ginger, apples etc. or you can have an alcoholic beverage. They offer delicious Bloody Mary's, mimosas, and beer on tap. The food was outstanding. I got the Philly Benedict. Tasty! My boyfriend ordered Chicken Fried Steak. The gravy was made from scratch. You can tell they pay attention to every detail when it comes to their food. Quality is what keeps the place packed with customers. The staff was friendly and made us feel welcomed. We will be coming back for sure.

    I've been here 3 times. The first time was great. The second was awful. Third time was horrid! The server was great. My food was terrible ! I ordered a Santa Fe chicken sandwich I asked for a side of mayo. I have no idea what she brought me but it was in no way, shape or form mayo. I took a few bites and soon realized there was an incredibly nasty taste in my mouth. I kept hoping it would get better but by the last bite of half of the sandwich I was about ready to hurl. I have no idea if it was the chicken,the "mayo" or the spread they put on it. So I am done. Not trying it again.

  • Heather W.

    Well we decided to give this place another shot. It has been 6 months and we are back. So far it hasn't been great; we have been here for over 30 mins & have not received our food. It's not that busy and it's sooooo slow. I'll get back to this review once our food arrives. Ok so we got our food & I'm not impressed. My hollandaise was cold. I asked for warm sauce, it was still COLD. Yeah that did not make me happy. My hubby's Philly Benedict had hardly any meat (check photo) & my plain Jane Benedict was just OK. We gave this place 2 chances and it failed both times. I'd rather go to village inn then eat at this place.

  • Emilee W.

    I came in and was promptly greeted and seated. The menu had plenty of options along with a fresh pressed juice/smoothie menu. I ordered a rocky point omelette. I am gluten and dairy free, which they ha a menu for but I did not order from. The omelette was pretty good. What was lacking was the "homefries." Everything tasted fresh but there were fried potatoes on my plate that looked and tasted like it came from a fast food establishment. I also ordered a Rejuvinator juice. It was ok. Nothing I would rave about. There was a bit too much celery and it overpowered everything else. I would probably give them a second try if I am ever back out this way.

  • Brianna S.

    Came here today and got take out with my sister. I have to say I really enjoyed it! And for take out I think that's saying something! I ordered a Denver omelette with home fries and I really enjoyed the omelette. It was hot and pretty big. I would definitely order that again. I also ordered a side of bacon that was just so so but anymore I think most bacon is just so so. My sister got a bagel and cream cheese and enjoyed it. I have to say the host was so sweet and helpful. Great customer service. He was a young guy with glasses and very nice! I'm glad I came in and I will again!

    We headed to Sunnyside for a Girls' Breakfast Out and had a great time. Our waiter was incredibly attentive and funny. He had a warmness about him that was very inviting and approachable; I really appreciated that! He seemed like he was really hustling for us. Anyways, one of my friends got a smoothie which she seemed to love. They make them with agave nectar, if I'm not mistaken, which is awesome. Makes you feel a little better than them using straight sugar. My other friend and I both has the Denver omelette. While we both enjoyed it, I'd say it was only a little bit better than IHOP quality. But still pretty good! The potatoes were unfortunately a little dry, but still edible. We used the Yelp deal where we got $20 for $12. I believe this added great value to our meal and definitely bumped up the star count. My impression of the restaurant is a good one. I think they're still finding their voice, but the roots they have, like fresh squeezed juice, using agave nectar and infusing local cuisine. I'll definitely have to revisit them in the next couple of months and try something new.

    Great for groups and the staff is very friendly. Our waitress didn't have reservations about telling us that she needed to take our questions to someone else. I have left establishments due to their rudeness about food allergies. I felt at ease when she was pleasant and eager to get me answers.

  • Cindy S.

    Loved the fresh squeezed Orange juice. Hated the hard biscuits and the chunky, greasy gravy. The potatoes that come with your eggs are little squares of salt and grease. Reminds me of some that I can buy in the frozen food section at the supermarket, then fry in some lard and put lots of salt on them. Too bad, since it is nice to have fresh squeezed OJ. The interior could use some cleaning. High prices for what you get.

    Good place. Staff were friendly, albeit a little quirky. Our server seemed pretty proud of his work, which was cool. Portions were good. Food was really tasty, although I would like to see a gluten free menu here. They fresh-squeeze their juice, which tastes awesome, but it is pretty pricey at $4.50 for 16 oz. They have nice thick bacon, cooked perfectly. I would've gotten a smoothie but the menu said they are ice-blended and that just waters things down unnecessarily when they could just freeze the fruit. I suppose I could've asked but I didn't. Fruit smoothies should never have ice, in my opinion. Overall, prices are good. We used their yelp deal to save a few bucks too. Speed of service was perfect. Place was clean and had clean menus. That's a plus because who wants to go to a breakfast place and touch sticky syrupy menus? If they get a certified gluten free menu I'll change it to 5 stars.

    Sunnyside Breakfast Lounge has clearly gotten past the opening jitters and have stepped up their game. I stopped in for lunch today and was quickly greeted by Elena. She offered booth or table, then asked about drinks. Good start! After my iced tea arrived, I ordered the Red Mountain Burger, which came with some nicely seasoned fries. The burger was a bit over cooked but still very juicy, served on a pretzel bun. I scarfed it all down. Elena checked in on me just the right amount to assure all was well, without being pushy. Executive Chef Garfio also checked with the tables, which was a great touch. If Yelp allowed individual ratings like Trip Advisor does, I would give them: 5 overall; 4 for food (-1 for over cooked); 5 for service and 5 for quality and 5 for value. Good job Sunnyside!

  • Shanon S.

    This place is too busy for their own good. The dining space feels cramped with too many tables in the available area. The wait staff is lost and we had to ask for silverware twice. For 35.00 we got the Denver omelette, corned beef and hash (its out of a can and costs 10.00!), and a kids meal short stack. While they tout that they make make their own sausage and chorizo in house, the menu doesn't offer much focus on these ingredients. Honestly, drive a few more miles and go to Crackers. You'll be much happier.

    I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a breakfast or lunch place in the area. They are still a bit new, but they are working out the kinks. I have a couple orders go wrong, but it is always quickly fixed. Drinks: Their iced tea choices are great and my friends have tried the smoothies which also get high remarks. Food: I really like their sandwiches and often get whatever is on the special board. My friend loves their chicken sandwich. I think they are on their way to creating the restaurant that they set out to. I would like to see a 'build your own omelette' that would allow me to have my omelette my way. Keep up the good work!

    For an area that is lacking in dining out options, especially for breakfast, I am happy to have sunnyside cafe. They are fast and friendly and I love the chorizo Benedict! I Hope they stick around so I encourage everyone to support our local Mesa businesses!

    This was my 2nd time eating here and it's a hit and miss kind of place. First time I had the chicken fried steak which was OK, not the best in the world. Missing some flavor and wish the meat was bigger. The second time I ate here I got the Eggs Benedict with the Salmon. The Salmon tasted great and that's coming from someone who cooks his own salmon on a regular basis. Everything tasted great and the only complaint I have is I wish there was more Hollandaise sauce. It was lacking that, plus I ordered a side of bacon that never came. The prices are far but for the same money you could probably find a better place. All in all, I would eat here again and maybe I'll be more specific on how I want my food.

    This was my first time here with my boyfriend and I have to say it was delicious!!! The portions were good, enough to fill you up perfectly. I has the nopales (cactus) omelette, it was sooooo good. Everything tasted fresh. Even the side of fruit. The coffee was okay, too expensive for a small cup. A little far from the central cities but a good place to go if you're in the area! Our waiter Luis was very nice too, Five stars!!!!!

    Not a bad spot. Stopped in before an all day softball tournament. Waffle with bananas was good and so was the chorizo benedict. Good place although it is on the more expensive end for breakfast.

    I was excited to try this new breakfast spot. When we entered there were many empty tables but a strange host told us that we would need to wait 20 to 30 minutes. Then several servers kept telling him that they had open tables and we were finally seated by a server. The menu was limited. I like omelets but none of the combos appealed to me and there was no make your own option. I choose pancakes with a side of bacon. My husband picked an egg combo. The pancakes were really dense, just horrible. The bacon was delicious. My husband did not like his food either. Potatoes were bland. Disappointing, I would skip this place.

    Meals were fulfilling and taste was spectacular! Jose was our server was friendly, just lacked attentiveness. Might of been due to end of day. I would return and recommend to my friends/family.

    Attentive service and seated quickly. The food was cooked as ordered and out within 10 minutes. Granted, I'm here on a weekday and it might be slow--but I appreciated the good service and food as ordered between appointments! I will be back.

    Kudos to Chef Gabriel for fusing native food with modern cuisine that appeals to both crowds. He is doing what local chefs should all be doing, including foods like nopales (prickly pear) in his recipes, showcasing our local foods like Seattle does with salmon and New Orleans does with gumbo. Try a nopal smoothie from the juice bar or a Chicano panini--you won't be disappointed!

    Delicious! I flew in from Seattle looking for a bit to eat and I decided to try this little gem. I had the full garden omelette and a mimosa. So good! The service was also excellent.

    Although the food was fine and server was nice, the service was terrible. We began ordering our drinks, a smoothie, Arnold Palmer, and water. The request for water was ignored, iced tea was brought over instead of an Arnold Palmer, and the smoothie was no where in sight. We ordered our food. The server came back with the correct beverage, and still no smoothie, apparently because another person took the smoothie. We were assured the smoothie would come out soon. Our food arrived soon after, and as I prepared my Peach Cobbler Pancakes, the other member of the party realized they brought the wrong Eggs Benedict, so we flagged down the person that brought the food, had them get the correct order and reminded them of the smoothie. We finally received our entire order, and ate! Overall, the food was nothing special. The potatoes were under seasoned, poached eggs were not poached as specified, and the Hollandaise sauce was barely visible, but the steak and cheese were good. The peaches were not ripe enough to cut through, the pancakes were somewhat undercooked, and there was a piece of plastic in the food. The other member of the party mentioned they had been there before, and though the food was good, the service still had kinks to work out. I wouldn't recommend this place until they are more established, and focus more on service and food preparation rather than eye catching esthetics.

    I had breakfast here on Sunday morning. No wait seated right away waitress was very nice. I ordered a mimosa and when it arrived it was not cold I had to put some ice from my water in it. When my breakfast arrived it arrived cold. The waitress did not come back to check on us and we had to wait a really long time to get the check. I was not impressed and probably will not be back.

    What a dramatic turnaround. The new GM john has done an excellent job of turning this place around. All I ask for is good service and good food for my money. I had to give this place one more try. I returned with my wife and bro and we were all impressed with the food and service. I will definitely return and highly reccomend this place. Say hello to John the new gm.

    The first time was great. The second time..not so much and this 3rd and final time SUCKED. Sunnyside Breakfast Lounge is nothing special, honesty Denny's is better. The service was slow, getting excuses from the server, drinks took over 45 minutes to get. Breakfast came out the same time as our drink and it was cold. We've decided that we'll never go back again. They have not only lost a customer, but we'll tell everyone we know how bad it has been consistantly.

    What an adorable little breakfast and lunch place! We had a Groupon and an early Sunday morning, they had just opened, spotless and inviting. I had an eggs Benedict that was delicious. Nice twist on the usual. Husband had a spicy omelette with chorizo and potatoes with peppers and onions, he loved it. Service was excellent, everyone very friendly and we will be back! I wish they had a website with the full menu easy to read though.

    A great place to spend breakfast. Very friendly staff. We've been here three times and have chosen different items each time. All were very good. We've also tried a couple of the daily morning juices and they were delicious. Thanks for starting our day out right.

    I've been here several times. The food has always been good. Over my visits, I've ordered the Breakfast Chimi, some sort of traditional breakfast combo, and waffles. The waffles are perfect. Even on Father's Day the wait wasn't too long to get seated, however, general, the wait for food is a little too long. I didn't time the wait, but my perception was that it felt too long. After reading other reviews and from a process improvement standpoint, I would say the issues they are experiencing may be from a malfunctioning kitchen staff. The mishaps were all food related, including preparation. It doesn't seem like the kitchen flows smoothly. My observation is that they've hired more experienced and older wait staff, so it is a pleasant experience. They know how to take care of the patron. Drinks were refilled, coffee was topped off and they were appropriately friendly. I think there is an imbalance with the amount of tables available to seat customers to the amount of food the kitchen can produce in a timely manner. Take out a few tables and customers will have to wait a few minutes more, but it is always better to have a steadily busy restaurant, then hungry and unhappy customers. Overall, for a casual breakfast/lunch experience this is a good place to go. I've gone a few times and will continue to go as long as the food quality remains the same.

    This has become one of my favorite breakfast and lunch spots. I love the interesting food combinations, and the variety of drinks to choose from. I've never had an issue with the service. We always sit outside (although this might change in the summer) since it does seem fairly loud inside. The only thing I would like to be different is for their bread pudding to be served warm. I love bread pudding and I think theirs would be great if it were not cold.

    Peach Pancakes are not good. They basically crumbled. Very disappointed!

    Food is great. Atmosphere could use either music or television sound to drown out the cafeteria like noise and babies crying. Bartender is awesome.

    Slow service ---very unorganized. I know they are new but... Dirty dishes left on the tables after people left their table. Dirty dishes left on the table while people were paying their bills. No one seems trained or professional at their job. We had a waitress, she brought our drinks and took our order then 20 minutes later another waitress came and said "sorry you had to wait so long, what can I get for you" She was apparently unable to see we already had our coffee. I had a cheese omelet (not on the menu -- I had to ask for it) and it was fine. My friend had a vegetable omelet and she said it was bland and bad. The breakfast "experience" took over an hour. Over 30 minutes to get our food. We had to stand up to finally get a bill. When I went inside there were three young hostesses standing at the hostess stand doing exactly nothing except talking amongst themselves. People were waiting outside to get a table, there were dirty dishes everywhere but three employees had time to stand around and do nothing. No one was watching the farm for sure. As a restaurant owner I see more details perhaps than a normal customer and in this case? "A" for location. "B" for ambiance but the rest will put them out of business within a year. Sorry Sunnyside, I had great hopes for you but I am going back across the street to the well oiled machine called Nandos Hideaway for breakfast.
