New to the area, I stopped in after seeing a full parking lot and assumed that meant good things…read more Unfortunately, the experience was the opposite. We were greeted by a hostess who, despite plenty of open tables and several staff members moving around, told us to stand off to the side and wait to be added to a "list." A young waitress tried to seat us right away, but the hostess reprimanded her, so we waited several more minutes before finally being shown to a table. It took a while just to get drinks and place our breakfast order. About 45 minutes passed with no food, while we watched obvious regulars come in, order, and receive their meals quickly. When we checked in with our waitress, she said it would be just a few more minutes. Ten minutes later, they brought out someone else's food entirely. At that point, we no longer felt confident that our meal--if it ever arrived--would be prepared with care or proper kitchen practices. We decided to pay for our drinks and leave. The worst part came as we were walking to our car: the hostess sent our waitress outside to tell us she wasn't allowed to keep the tip we left. That confirmed this wasn't a server issue--it's a management and kitchen problem. It's a shame, because it's a cute little spot on my route to and from work, but this experience was enough to keep me from returning.

When I say I've been coming to Sunrise Cafe for a long time, I'm not over-exaggerating. I used to…read morecome here every Sunday with my grandma growing up--this was my spot! Not to date myself, but that's in the range of ~30 years ago. We had a usual booth, usual orders, and we saw the same waitstaff and cooks every week. This was a tradition I looked forward to all week long, since it was one of the only times I got to eat breakfast out at a restaurant regularly. While I live up in The Peninsula now, my parents are still down in Aptos. It was long overdue, but I had been telling my wife for years when we'd drive by the story of how I used to go there, and she'd always suggest that we go back one day. Well friends, that day finally came! On a recent trip to visit my folks and a childhood friend, we decided to take a family outing to Sunrise Cafe on Sunday morning for a good ol' nostalgic breakfast. PARKING: There is both street parking, and a dedicated lot in the back. Since the main entrance is located right on Soquel, I definitely recommend using the back for a more private and safe parking option. They also have an entrance in the back so you don't have to walk all the way around! SEATING: You check in towards the front end of the counter, where the register is. Since we came on a Sunday, it was full when we got there. There's a counter with eight (8) seats, as well as a half dozen or so booths on the left as you come in the front, and some other seating on the right. It did appear as if they shortened the tables, as they didn't reach out to the end of the booth seats. We ended up having to wait around 10 minutes, which wasn't too bad. DRINKS: They have a lot of the standards you'd expect to find at a cafe. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, juice (apple, orange, grapefruit, cranberry), soda (Coke products), iced tea, and mimosas ($6.50!). A few of us ordered coffee--good, not epic. The OJ is from concentrate, otherwise I would have ordered a glass. FOOD: A nice 3-page menu of breakfast and lunch options. Many of the standards, with combos of eggs and breakfast meats (bacon, sausage, ham, Linguisa, chicken apple sausage). There's a list of scrambles, omelets, eggs Benedict, and "Solar Delights" which has corned beef & hash, country fried steak, and a tofu veggie dish. For lunch they have a variety of sandwiches (hot & cold), burgers, and salads. We went for breakfast, and between the four of us we ordered: Sunrise Special (2 eggs, 2 strips of bacon, home fries & toast or biscuit), French toast, corned beef & hash, and the Western Scramble (Corralitos jalapeño sausage, onion, topped with 2 scrambled eggs, chili beans & cheddar cheese). The food was all solid. The corned beef was chunky and seemed fresher than "from the can". The French toast looked tasty, and my dad said he liked it. My mom enjoyed her Sunrise Special, as a standard cafe breakfast. I ordered the Western Scramble and it was pretty wild; a huge mound of hearty deliciousness. It was enough food that I was able to take some of it, plus half a biscuit home and enjoy it for another breakfast a few days later. The potatoes were one of my favorite things growing up, so I do wish I had ordered a side, or something that allowed me to enjoy them on their own. OVERALL: This was a great nostalgia meal, and I'm super glad I came back. We found out that they changed ownership around four (4) years ago, so while it's not quite the exact same place, it's pretty darn close. I appreciate the friendly and hardworking staff, and will definitely come back on a future visit home! IG: @bbnem.eats

After reading an article indicating…read morethat they were getting a Michelin star chef I thought how cool I really like this place so it was a no-brainer to go back. I headed over there which is close to an hour drive and was seated. Service was a little slow because they were down servers. I don't usually eat chicken, but because we were in Davenport and we were at the Roadhouse, I knew that their ingredients are locally sourced, including the chicken, so I thought cool, I'll eat chicken pot pie. it's cold and rainy. Perfect dish to warm us up. That couldn't be further from the truth What arrived at my table was a 3 inch cast-iron skillet. In it was some liquid and I mean liquid, peas, chicken, potatoes, and on top of it all was a tiny biscuit. I don't know if it was supposed to be some deconstructed chicken pot pie. But in the past, the chicken pot pies, I have eaten were not a broth. They were a creamy textured chicken and vegetable filling. The crust was usually flour and covered the filling. This was not that. This was like receiving 4 tablespoons of leftover chicken soup and paying $22 for it. the amount of food you got was tiny like a toddler portion. The staff was very nice. When I mentioned that I was extremely disappointed with my dish they offered to take it off the check. But I think that I was so offended that they would put this item on a menu with that name and then serve what they served. I needed to speak to the manager and let them know that $22 for that was inappropriate and I really like this place and I don't want them to get a bad rep. The manager was very kind and heard me out, of course again offering to take the item off my bill, but I had already paid and that wasn't going to fix the problem. I won't stop going to the Road house, it's by one of my favorite beaches and it is a neat spot that has music, even if you just get a drink and their cookies. But don't be claiming a Michelin chef and then serve what you serve because that's just wrong.

The omelet is served with one's choice of home fries or hashbrowns and a choice of wheat, sourdough or rye toast, or an English muffin. If desired, one may substitute a cup of fresh fruit in lieu of the potatoes for a small extra charge. Bella's Breakfast Bacon and Eggs is two eggs prepared your way, with three slices of bacon, choice of potatoes, and toast. All was excellent. FYI: Bella's Café is a cash only establishment.
