    French Toast Breakfast with hashbrowns
    Brialee N.

    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.

    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!

    Garden Scramble with English Muffin
    Camille W.

    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!!

    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.

    Tiny little dive. Incredible pancakes, they are massive. Would recommend. Service was fast.

    From scratch Strawberry-peach jam And salsa
    Lisa L.

    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.

    Garlic Burger and Fries
    Jaron R.

    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.

    a croissant sandwich and mashed potatoes
    Bekah C.

    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."

    Chicken fried steak with eggs, hashbrowns, and sauce. My husband added the hot sauce before I got a pic.

    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!!
