OMG what a gem! In a bit of a food desert in NE SLC, there is an oasis of Sunshine breakfast and lunch till 2PM with reasonable prices, incredible friendly efficient staff and lots of delectable treats to tempt you. All in nice cozy sized space with funny kitch on the walls. I was hankering for a burger and it def hit the spot. Big and meaty with fresh veggies and I chose the fries upcharge and so worth it. So big I couldn't eat all the fries which is first in my lifetime all with a homemade chocolate cake within arms reach and I was way too full read more

Love the food. Just like the mom and pop cafes of my childhood. Service is good, the ambience is like I said mom and pops of yesteryears. If I have any complaints it would be that it's so popular sometimes it's hard to get in but that's on me because I don't like to cue up for long. I'm too impatient. read more

Arrived at Janet's a few minutes after it opened on a weekday and it was already busy--always a good sign! We were seated quickly and the service was very friendly and efficient. Our server was clearly experienced and as this was our first time, she gave us some excellent breakfast recommendations. As billed, the large, fluffy pancakes were a star of the show, and enjoyed them with creamy butter as well as warm maple syrup for one and their own berry jam on the other. Delicious. The over easy eggs were cooked perfectly as well as the sausage patties. Also grabbed a side of hashbrowns which were crispy and well seasoned. The coffee was hot and tasty, and our cups were always full. Can't wait to get back here the next time we are in town! read more

You guys! I'm bummed I am posting this because we recently moved to the area and I want to do everything I can to support locally but unfortunately we didn't have a great experience at Janet's. Let me share what I did like first: We enjoyed the vibe inside, everyone felt like they knew each other and knew the staff and that's exactly what we love about Mom + Pop Shops. We ate in the morning and the light was shining pretty gnarly into the glass windows, I appreciated that they had a make shift covering that they put up to help with the amount of sun that is let in. Anything is better than nothing for sure! Also, I really liked the hashbrowns- that's where this place gets a star for me because I hateeee when breakfast/brunch places do the home style potatoes instead of these yummy shredded hashbrowns. I asked for extra crispy and I felt that they delivered. Now let's get into why I am sad to leave this review- but I have to be honest if we had a choice between this place and Penny Ann's it's going to be Penny Ann's no contest. This establishment is very small (about 8 tables) and not well kept. There is dirt, dust, and cobwebs everywhere and if the dining area is not well kept- it makes me very nervous about what it looks like where my food is being cooked. Also as a heads up- the French Toast I'm almost 100% sure is sourdough. We did not know that and there was no writing saying that was the case so it was unfortunately an unpleasant surprise. Also while I was eating I bit into this hard wire/string thing and that immediately met my last straw and unfortunately we decided to ask for the check and our family left. Unsatisfied and unsure why this restaurant had such high ratings. Super bummed- I honestly don't think we will come back until I hear that they've made improvements on the cleanliness of the establishment. read more

It all starts with a wonderful server named Chelsea. Then an amazing matcha latte and coffee. Then a turkey melt that was so delicious and huge. My wife and i could barely finish it and we split it. Then a huckleberry pie. A whole one to go ! read more

Thank you Yelp! What a great find!!! May will be her 20th year in business. They offer breakfast and lunch all day which is awesome!! My husband always wants breakfast and if the time is near lunch I would want lunch. We both had breakfast today. I had the breakfast burrito and added sausage. It was large and tasty. My husband had the #2. Omgosh! It was gigantic!! He could not finish it all. I helped a little, just to taste it, and it still wasn't gone. The pancakes were moist and tasty. The service was perfect. They work as a team and we never had to ask for anything. They came around with coffee and refilled my tea before it was empty. That is big points in my book!! This restaurant is very small with only maybe 7 tables plus maybe 4 counter seats. This is close to the SLC airport so it is very convenient if you are coming or going. I definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

Me and my friend got the "sh!ts" 15 minutes after leaving there. Flies all over the place, food and drink splattered on blinds, dirty walls. 1st and LAST time ever going there! read more

What a great brunch spot in Northern Salt Lake. Ordered the Garden Scramble, Eggs Benedict and Cinnamon Roll. All were top notch and we left super pleased with our Sunday morning brunch. The vegetables and eggs from the Garden Scramble were cooked perfectly and a good brunch-sized portion. The side of homemade salsa was a great addition. The Eggs Benedict is not too heavy and was equally as tasty as the scramble. The Eggs Benedict is only offered on the weekend. The Cinnamon Roll was a delight! Super soft and moist, with a sweet glaze that wasn't too heavy. The ambiance is what you'd hope for in a small, hidden gem brunch spot - nice and cozy with friendly, approachable staff. The staff was helpful in narrowing down our selections. They were attentive and came back to check on coffee and other needs. We were lucky to arrive when there wasn't too much of a wait. By the time we left, all tables were full and they had a bit longer wait. We were served quickly and overall happy with the experience. Will be back again!! read more

Janet shows us that it doesn't necessarily take a large space to make a big impact. The Sunshine Café uses every square inch of the restaurant to seat guests at tables or at the counter-leaving just what's necessary for the kitchen area. The walls are even maxed out with cool vintage art and witty signs. No space goes to waste. My wife and I enjoyed breakfast at the counter where we got to interact with staff and watch the magic happen at the grill. Something about seeing how the sausage is made, so to speak, makes me enjoy the experience of dining out even more. The food was terrific, coffee hot and never ran out and the staff was attentive and friendly. I left with a full belly and sunshine in my soul today. read more

We stopped in to Janet's Sunshine Cafe for breakfast on Thursday morning while visiting our daughter in Salt Lake. We love breakfast, and someone recommended this place. The restaurant itself is tiny, but what a HIDDEN GEM! Meat lovers omelette, Biscuits and gravy breakfast with eggs and bacon, the granola pancake with warm butter and syrup was so good!!! And the southwest omelette, hash browns and toast. We had some of Janet's homemade strawberry and peach jam for our toast, and the salsa on the omelette which was so fresh with cilantro and just so wonderful. Kristen took such great care of us. We really wish we were in town for longer. I hate to spoil a secret...but this place serves awesome food! And so much of it, that we had some to take home! One tip though, only eat here if you want a great no nonsense breakfast. They don't need any bougie customers. read more

Nice Little Cafe Diner! Fun atmosphere, great friendly service, good food. Had the garlic burger and it was delicious. As good as any of the local places. The fries are fresh cut and cooked just right. It's a smaller place so get there early to find seating. It was nearly full when I got there, which also tells you the food is good. It was more expensive than I was expecting because the pictures of the menu were out dated, so I included new menu pictures here. read more

Wait was 15 minutes but got seated down quickly. The waitress was kinda rude said nothing and I got no help with moving a kid chair that was at the table to put the stroller. Once the waitress she asked what drinks we wanted but we had no menu and gave an attitude when I asked and said "they're right there" and walked away. I would strongly recommend the restaurant down the road called nacho house. read more

Foods is always good! It has plenty of comfort foods to choose from however we like Breakfast food here. Servers are always pleasant. Love this place. read more

I really don't want to draw any additional attention to this café. It's almost always busy and it's a small place to begin with and I selfishly want to keep it for myself. This is by far the best breakfast in South Davis County. All components of their breakfasts are cooked fantastically . I like the classic eggs, hashbrowns, sausage, bacon, and they cook all of that to perfection. The owner and the staff and the chefs in the back are all very nice and work very hard and very fast. Their portion sizes are enormous so be careful or you might inadvertently order lunch and dinner along with your breakfast, due to leftovers. I have heard that their salads are also fantastic. If you are lucky enough to be there on the day they make their Hungarian Mushroom soup, you must try some! read more

What an endearing little cafe! The moment we walked in, we knew it had been worth the drive. We took our seats at the bar and immediately begin reading and enjoying the eclectic and comical wall decor. From the staff to the food, everything here is outstanding. The portions are enormous! My friend and I ordered a few things to share and we felt like we barely made a dent in any of it. And the prices are more than fair for the amount of food that comes with every order. I already want to go back. The food is so good and the vibe is so homey. I could have spent my entire morning here. I can see why they have so many regulars! FYI: The name on Yelp is Janet's Sunshine Cafe but when we arrived the sign simply said, "Sun Shine Cafe." read more

We went in for breakfast when we flew to SLC to see the Lakers play. Service was fantastic... one waitress rocked the entire place! I'm sure she had a great staff on the kitchen and at the door... but she ran that floor and stayed on top of orders and refills. We were so impressed... and the food was amazing. We almost want to visit SLC just to return for breakfast! Highly recommend!! read more

What happened to this place? It had always been about the third place in the Bountiful/NSL area but somehow this place has fallen even farther behind. Go to Ramblin or Alice's way before this place. This place needs to especially step up thier game with a Penny Ann's coming to Bountiful on February. But that is not what's happening. I spoke with three other people during my 25 minute wait that also said they'd never be back and were shocked by what was happening. I ordered a burrito to go and came the 20 minutes later that I was told to come. I get there and pay and give a tip and they say it will be "a few minutes". Ten minutes later after waiting outside the lady comes out and tries to give me the wrong food. So then she tells me to wait just "a few minutes longer". Fifteen minutes later I have to come in and ask what is going on. So I'm totall I was waiting about twenty five minutes on top of the twenty minutes they told me originally. The lady explains kind of rudely "I can't find your order, I guess we messed up." I explained "but I already paid and gave a tip" to which she's said "yeah I know, it'll be a few minutes." She offers very little in the way of apology or explanation and offered no refund or way to make it right. And on top of it all they had the wrong meat in the burrito! Hahah. It was almost laughable it was such a bad experience. I understand that mistakes are made but the way to keep customers and to be a good business is to take responsibility, own the mistake, and make it right. Had this place done that I would have been all for coming back. But they didn't, they made it seem like it was my fault for patiently waiting after paying and leaving a tip. Not a good look, Sunshine Cafe. Seriously there are too many good breakfast places around here to waist time with this one. I really don't write bad reviews but this place has slipped and has to be help responsible. read more

Best breakfast to be found in a very large radius! Garden hash is the best! And granola pancake... game changer.

Excellent diner food with a cute old-timey vibe and terrific service. Soft pillowy biscuits made of air and the best bacon I've had in awhile paired with a fun crew made this a place we will definitely want to visit again. read more

I'm not one to write reviews but my wife wanted me to. We've never been to Janet's but a co worker from Costco said it's the best! Not the best circumstances to go but we had just had our 17 year old Sheltie put to sleep a few hours before. Very sad. I talked my wife into getting out to go eat. We needed some Sunshine. We went to Janets! My wife had biscuits and gravy, eggs and bacon. I had a breakfast burrito. Thank you for bringing us happiness! My wife said everything was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious! For my wife to say that was huge! All we heard was laughter, nice people and a whole lotta SUNSHINE. God bless y'all for lifting us up when we needed it! Kim & Geneva read more

Great breakfast food and very reasonable pricing. No alcohol but decent coffee. A bit of a line up one Saturday mornings, but you can put your name in and wait in the car outside. read more

First, let me say the food and the staff are a 5. Great food, great service. However, the service was slow, not because of the ability of the staff, but because of take out orders. I understand that during the pandemic to go food was the thing. But now that it's over, restaurants need to put a higher priority on in restaurant guests rather than phone in orders. We waited for over a half an hour for food while we saw several to go orders leave the restaurant. This place has a very small kitchen and simply doesn't have the capacity to do both in person and to go orders on the weekend. I would guess that if they simply stopped taking to go orders, they would turn tables over faster and make the same amount of money. read more

really enjoyed the ceasar salad! delicious menu and kind servers. the space is a lil small but very homey feeling:)

There are many country cafes in the county, and I have been to all of them at least twice. Ironically I keep going back to just one. Last Thursday, Saturday and today. Janet continues to deliver the best comfort / $. Hands down. Surgical suite clean. Staff will remember your name after the second visit. Don't be distracted by the menu - you get what you want. And better than you expected. My favorites: If really hungry - 1/2 #4, bacon, over easy. I grew up in the south and the gravy is Devine! Hungry lite - 1/2 #1, bacon, over easy Insider tip - if you like well done hash browns ask for "Zane style." Evenly crisp, a bit of crunch - the southern version of heaven. All of you owe me! read more

My bro and I visited and they were busy as always. I ordered the garlic burger with fries. The burger had minced garlic in it and came deconstructed with tomatoes lettuce and pickles on the side. The fries and burger were piping hot, everything is served quickly after being cooked. The servers were friendly and the food, good. Very filling! read more

If you want classic greasy spoon or hole in the wall fare and flare then this place is for you! The menu had all the breakfast options I would expect from a diner. It also had all the locals and love and eclectic environment that makes it a true classic. read more

I just love this place. We live close and have come several times over the years. Best French toast around; it has an eggy taste and is the perfect consistency. They have awesome omelets and really good biscuits and gravy. The gravy has a little spicy kick to it, but not overwhelmingly spicy. Service is always great at this tiny little joint!! We'll continue to support this awesome restaurant for years to come. read more

Food is so good! Loved everything we tried. Portions are large, easily shareable. Tiny place but service is great.

THE GREATEST BREAKFAST SPOT IN THE STATE I've moved out of state and every time I'm back in town, this is my first stop. The meals are just incredible. Classic, hot, filling, and the definition of comfort food. Atmosphere is comfy and familiar. It's a small place and fills up quick so plan for a small wait if you're not here close to 8am. The staff is ALWAYS friendly and attentive and they keep your coffee topped off! Price is just right. I'd pay $50 for the meal I just ate for $13. So so so good and an absolute staple around this part of town. I grew up here and everyone knows Janet's the best chef around, and Sunshine is THE spot for breakfast or lunch. read more

Wow! Worth the wait to get a seat! They are limited on seating; however, if you have time to wait I highly recommend. I was in town to see a client before heading to airport to fly back to PHX, so I had some time. I had the 2 egg plate with has browns and they were good. What really tipped the scale was the tri-tip they recommended with it. Smoked on a grill outside this was amazing. Very flavorful and fresh! I added their homemade salsa to my meal and it was perfect. The service was very friendly and very attentive! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more
