This is one of those places you walk into and immediately relax. Sadie's Sunrise Café has that clean, airy, artsy neighborhood vibe, local artwork on the walls, a few quirky touches hanging from the ceiling, natural light pouring in, and just enough buzz to feel alive without being chaotic. It's not trying too hard, and that's exactly why it works. Feels like a spot where regulars post up, sip coffee, and take their time. No rush, no nonsense, ust good energy. And then the sandwich shows up... and flips the script. This isn't breakfast. This is a stacked, unapologetic morning statement. The Overloaded Egg Sando Griddled brioche bun, soft, buttery, just enough toast to hold things together (barely). Under that, a crispy hash brown doing the heavy lifting, adding crunch and soaking up all the goodness. Sausage brings that savory backbone, while the spinach scrambled eggs stay fluffy and rich. Then you get that creamy hit from the smashed avocado, melted smoked gouda layering in a subtle smokiness, and finally... the gochujang aioli. That aioli is the move. Sweet heat, a little funk, a little tang, cuts right through the richness and keeps every bite from getting too heavy. And let's be honest... Had to unhinge my jaw like a snake just to take the first bite. This thing is messy, stacked, and fully committed to the cause. Not first-date food. Not "eat it in the car" food. This is sit-down, take-a-minute, maybe-need-a-nap-after kind of food. The best part? The space balances it perfectly. Big, bold sandwich... calm, easygoing room. That's a combo I'll go back for every time. read more

I didn't know this place was a hidden gem! I ordered a bacon egg and cheese which came on a croissant, two eggs, and a side of hashbrowns I also tried their homemade triple berry jam, and I absolutely had to buy a jar! It was too good to pass up There is interesting artwork hanging from the ceiling and is definitely a dog friendly café. They have dog treats to sell and a lot of other goodies as well. read more

Was scrolling through breakfast places in the area and landed on Sadie's Sunrise cafe. Thank goodness we did. The food options were endless, you're guaranteed to find something you like. The inside has plenty of seating. The women at the counter were super sweet and gave us recommendations. I ended up with the fully loaded tot breakfast with a dark roast coffee, fantastic. The garlic aioli on the hash was potent and incredible. Once I started getting full I didn't want to stop since it was so good. Will definitely be back for a few more visits read more

Got breakfast here for the first time. I ordered the Egg and Cheese Sandwich for $7.49 It came with 2 eggs with your choice of cheese served on bread of your choice And you can Add a breakfast meat for $3. I added bacon. Food was good besides my bacon. The bacon was definitely overcooked and didn't taste good. I also grabbed some dog treats for my dog and a cold brew iced coffee. Staff here is super friendly. Establishment is clean. My favorite item I picked up here was their home made triple berry jam. read more

I can't even count how many times I've been to Sadie's Sunrise Cafe. There used to be an awesome sandwich place open in this same location by the name of Lou & Mo's that closed abruptly so Sadie's had some big shoes to fill! Here's why this lil' cafe is my go-to place almost every Saturday after the gym! Atmosphere/Appearance: Located right in a small plaza on the edge of Berlin and Newington is this gem. There's a shared parking lot so there's no issue where finding somewhere to put your fly ride. The restaurant is small, after all, it IS a cafe. In the warmer months there are several tables outside complete with sun-blocking umbrellas if you wanted to get some air while you dine. Once inside it's cozy, quaint, open and welcoming. There are several 4-person tables in the middle, some more on the right and booths on the left wall. Straight ahead is the ordering counter and kitchen. Service: Andrea is the owner here and she's often in attendance. She's so sweet, welcoming and will happily speak. I've learned the names of different staff members throughout Sadie's tenure in this location, but they escape me for now. I've never had an issue here at all. Food: Yelp will not give me enough room to talk about every single thing I've tried from Sadie's menu. Lol. There's nothing bad here at all and their special's rotate often so be on the lookout for something new all the time! However, MY go-to... is a steak, egg and cheese bagel on an asiago bagel. Oh, but we're not done. Then add lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, pepperjack cheese and garlic aioli. LORDY-LORD. So filling, amazing and... a bit pricey... No matter. We'll discuss that. This IS a cafe, but it's a high-quality cafe. Don't expect cheap diner food. My customized sandwich up there is about $15.00. It's an incredible steak bagel sandwich, but it's so amazing. Lol. Their menu had breakfast, lunch and dessert options that are all over the place, but you won't break the bank here. In conclusion, I will continue to keep coming to Sade's Sunrise Cafe. Andrea and friends have something GREAT here and I want to continue to see them thrive! Check this place out if you're in the area! read more

My mom and I were in the area and looking for lunch, so we stopped by to finally check it out! I used to love the spot that was here formerly, but I think Sadie's has them beat. Both of our sandwiches were delicious, and the homemade chips were a tasty side. The menu has a nice variety and there's so many yummy looking pastries at the front counter! We couldn't resist the brownie with a thick marshmallow topping and it was SO good. The girl at the register was friendly and she even checked on us again to help take away our dirty dishes. The food came out quickly and it was super clean! Appreciated the complimentary water and cups up front too. Such a great place to keep in mind when you're on the Berlin turnpike! read more

I was excited to dine in at Sadie's. My dad has never been and I never really tried More than a breakfast sandwich from them. Service was excellent. The young girl behind the counter was the sweetest and so attentive and helpful. Everyone was very nice ! By the time we got there customers started to come in and pick up orders. Everything is nice and clean , sun coming in.. it was perfect for a Sunday! My fully loaded tot bowl was delicious! Gluten free too, even better! My dad wish he had my breakfast haha! They have specials and great breakfast and lunch choices to choose from! Fair prices! The only thing was I did get a GF cookie and it was a tad bit too hard. Overcooked?! But I'm Happy they are offering GF sweets ! I'm A big fan of having something small And sweet on the side! They also had GF mini donuts, not house made. I must say Sadie's is a wonderful place! read more

I stopped into Sadie's for a late Sunday brunch. The server was friendly, and also patient as I took some time to look over the menu before ordering. The cafe offers take-out and dine in, and I decided to stay. I received my coffee at the counter after I paid and was given a table marker before making my way to an open table. The booth was clean and there are unique and interesting little trinkets on each table that serve as salt & pepper shakers. It was cute and I was excited to eat. The food and the reason for my 3 stars- The coffee was good, albeit a bit expensive for a medium cappuccino. I ordered a short stack of pancakes (HUGE), scrambled eggs and hash browns. The pancakes were good, the eggs decent, but unfortunately, I didn't enjoy the hash browns at all. They were not seasoned, no peppers or onions, just tiny cubed once-frozen potatoes. I would go back grab a coffee if I was in the neighborhood and would recommend pancakes to anyone who asked me about this restaurant. But I won't be a regular, unfortunately. read more

I'm always on the the lookout for the best breakfast sandwiches in CT and I gotta tell you this is on of my favs! I really love the rye toast here and the breakfast sandwiches are very good and simple. The homemade mini donuts are absolutely amazing tho. The lunch sandwich's are becoming my favs too and I'll drive the 30 mins any day to come get one (and to grab a brownie too). Actually, everything I've had here has been amazing which is why I'm giving it 5 stars. I'm sure people usually save 5 stars for places that are elite dining experiences but here is why I give a place like Sadie's a 5 star rating. 1. It's consistently good. Every single time it's the same, it's good. Fresh, and tasty. Simple. 2. It's fast, the servers and employees are nice and it's always clean. 3. They have never gotten my order wrong, and for me, even ordering ahead online where you would think many places couldn't get it wrong, many still do, but at Sadie's I've never had an issue, and I really do appreciate that. read more

This was our first time here, my friends and I came here after hiking in the area. Unfortunately, I do not recall what they ordered, but I ordered the sweet and smoky pork skillet and a side of maple ricotta, munchkins. Absolutely loved the munchkins. I would've ordered way more. The sweet and smoky pork skillet was pretty good. I wish there was a little more pork in it, but it was still delicious. The service was really good. The staff were really friendly. I like the ambience of the location. read more

Farmers market trip early morning - breakfast a must have afterwards. Looked up a place that was somewhat close by for breakfast that we'd never been to & Sadie's Sunrise cafe came up. In a small plaza on the Berlin turnpike, we initially were a bit concerned - almost no other cars in the parking lot. However Sadie's turned out to be perfect to grab a quick, informal breakfast. The restaurant was clean, bright & filled with art. Whimsical Karen Rossi art was hanging from the ceiling, so how could you not smile. Order at the counter , and they will bring your food to the table. My husband & I had the dark roast coffee - just how I like it. My husband had a breakfast sandwich on ciabatta roll & I had a grilled bagel with cream cheese. Both were very good. I'd definitely come back. read more

"Sexy Sadie She's the latest and the greatest of them all" (Lennon and McCartney) Sadie's Sunrise Cafe sure had a lot to live up to. After all, they're located in the former home of the old and very fabulous Lou and Mo's, who's combination of food, pricing and off the chart customer service was in the stratosphere. Well, I'm here to tell you that Sadie's is a very worthy successor to Lou and Mo's, and we had a FANTASTIC lunchtime visit. The dining room and counter look pretty much the same, but there are a few changes. Sadie's has local artwork for sale on the walls and they change out the paintings every three months or so. One piece of artwork that's permanently on display is a portrait of a smiling black and white Great Dane that happens to be the restaurant's namesake. We hear that Sadie herself will be visiting in the near future. Another interesting feature we saw were a series of stylized sculpted portraits hanging from wires fastened to the ceiling. The portraits are of Sadie's owner's family. Sadie's menu is pretty deep with breakfast choices (eggs, scrambles, and toasts), some outrageous Tater Tot Bowls (how about Pastrami, Swiss, sauerkraut, Russian dressing and eggs?), hot dogs, sandwiches, salads and kiddie meals. Our lunch order was a Breakfast Burrito ($10.49) and Eggs with toast and home fries ($6.89). My burrito was loaded with potatoes and sausage and scrambled eggs and was delicious! It was served with a scoop of guacamole, salsa and sour cream. I have to give a shout out to the service, because it was top notch. Both the young lady at the counter who answered our questions and took our order, and the woman who brought out our food were friendly and engaging. But the real star was the manager/host who came over, chatted with us about Sadie and the new ownership team. He was as friendly and engaging as anyone we have run into in quite a while. In so many respects, the transition we saw from Lou and Mo's to Sadies was seamless. We LOVED our visit to Sadie's and without a doubt we will be back. read more

Sadie's Sunrise Cafe recently opened in the former Lou & Mo's space. Sadie is the owner's dog btw. They're open during breakfast and lunch hours at this point. Their breakfast offerings include scrambles, toasts, tot bowls, bagels, muffins and scones. They also had a breakfast burrito special when I was there. Their lunch menu includes hot and cold sandwiches, a hot dog and salads. They had a burger special when I visited as well. Their sides include fries and tots. I visited at lunch and ordered the G-Man sandwich, which has capicola, salami, turkey, provolone, roasted red peppers and "grinder salad" on a ciabatta roll. It was served with a large helping of house made kettle style chips. The sandwich was tasty and well made. The meat layers were substantial and good quality. The cheese was on point. The bread was very fresh. But what really elevates sandwiches like this for me, are the vegetable toppings and condiments. The roasted red peppers were pitch perfect. And I loved the "grinder salad", which is a creamy based mayo-type base with puréed banana pepper, lemon juice, etc. mixed with lettuce. This was simple, but perfect for me. The salty, mildly spicy, sweet and acidic flavors of the sandwich were very well balanced. It wasn't a complex sandwich, but it was executed at a high level. The sandwich cost $14.89. There will be people who say "I can get a whole grinder for that." I'm not sure that's really true any more. But in any event, you're not going to find a much cheaper grinder this well made that comes with chips at very many independent places. And if you can, feel free to message me. LOL. I also note that Sadies's had about 10 sandwiches, salads or hot dogs for less than $12. The house chips were uniformly crispy and not at all greasy. That may sound easy, but I see a lot of misses for places that make their own chips. The inside has nice and comfortable seating. There are some nice artistic touches around the room. Service was friendly, helpful and efficient. They were a pretty well oiled machine even this early in their run. I expect good things from Sadie's based upon my visit, and I look forward to exploring other menu items. 4.5 Stars read more

I really like this place and have been frequenting a couple times per month. The problem is that the last few times i ordered they got it wrong and there was no consolation except I'm sorry. I drove almost 30 minutes from work read more

Sadie's Sunrise Cafe is one of my favorite breakfast/lunch spots! The food is so tasty and flavorful. I love that they have a specials menu that changes weekly and typically the specials are so good. A few of my fav items is their sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on a ciabatta roll, their med scramble with chicken sausage added is SO tasty and I love the ricotta munchkin donuts. Also, the staff is incredibly nice and welcoming and I love the cozy feeling every time I go. I would highly recommend checking out Sadie's!! read more

If you like your food prepared "homestyle", then Sadies is the place for you. As for me, I do; however, if I come away feeling that I can make it myself at home, the same or better, my reason for paying good money for someone else to make it diminishes, somewhat. This is the impression I received during a recent visit, during which I sampled that steak and egg tot bowl. Now, before I elaborate on my comments above, I have to add that the service and atmosphere earn an immediate, additional, half star more. The staff seemed to go out of their way to to be friendly, and personal, reminiscent of a small town diner in a close knit community. The service was fast; my food was prepared and served, within ten minutes, during which time, the staff and I engaged in friendly banter. But, of course, I was here to eat; and with my food set before me, eat I did. Visually, my first impression of the Tot Bowl was that I would be leaving still hu ngry; but, no! The tender steak, lightly accented with horseradish sauce, atop a good portion of golden brown tots, blended with scrambled eggs, was perfectly filling, and tasty, as if I had made it myself. Which brings us full circle. At just over thirteen bucks, the bowl itself seemed reasonably priced; but with a medium coffee, an a well deserved, modest tip, my bill came to just over nineteen bucks; which felt a bit pricier than it should, to me. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite to eat. We've been meaning to stop here for a while. I had the avocado toast and a side of home fries, which were both very good.

Service was quick and friendly nice atmosphere clean restaurant will definitely be back. read more

I first stopped by here for a quick breakfast about 2 months ago. I ordered the Ricotta Toast with a side of home fries. The pistachios and honey complimented the ricotta perfectly, and the portion was filling. I recently ordered lunch with my sister and niece - I got the Tuna Melt on a ciabatta roll with a side of fries. Again, the portions were filling and the tuna melt was simply delicious. My niece and sister both enjoyed their sandwiches - Turkey Melt with tots and fries - and appreciated the size of the bread. I look forward to trying other breakfast and lunch options soon! read more

I was disappointed! I ordered a Reuben sandwich. The bread was warm but everything else was cold, the cheese was not melted at all. I had to "upgrade" to get fries instead of potato chips and they were barely warm and were mostly small yucky pieces...and it cost about $16.00! I ordered the light roast coffee and it tasted SO WEAK, I had to ask them to replace it with the dark roast. I would not go back. read more

The "vegetable skillet" came with what amounted to about a teaspoon of tiny diced veggies and a few diced potatoes, and it was all swimming in oil. More like a greasy soup than anything resembling a breakfast skillet. Even though it was so small I could've eaten it in a few bites, I couldn't finish it because of the insane amount of oil. Guess I'm gonna have to get my serving of vegetables at home today. read more

We get breakfast from here quite often. We usually sit inside, but there's times when we have to order takeout. The food is always well prepared and delicious. However, for takeout, they place the hot food in plastic containers. The plastic container changes shape and seems to bubble. I am left to wonder how much of the "melted" plastic just transferred into my food. We will still be eating at this restaurant, but we will not be taking out until they change their takeout containers. read more

Eric made me do it. So I've been seeing Eric post about Sadie's for a while now and decided to go check it out for lunch for myself. When you go into this establishment you order & pay at the front and then you go get a table and they'll bring out your food when it's ready. It's a cute little place. Probably have 12 or so tables. Only three of them being booths. They serve breakfast and lunch. I went with the tuna melt. I had to add tomatoes on it cuz it didn't come with them. It was a pretty solid tuna melt. Not fishy at all. Bread was toasted perfectly. It comes with potato chips that are made in house which were very good. My youngest went with the chicken tenders which you could tell were homemade and it came with fries. They were cooked perfectly. My oldest wanted soup and decided to go with the chicken noodle. Unfortunately they don't offer cups of soup so we had to go with a whole bowl which she didn't finish. My mom went with the patty melt. She said it was very good and filling. Their french fries kind of impressed us all. They're a little different. They're thinner and they have some type of seasoning salt on it. They're kind of addicting. My mom also got a few homemade scones for later on. Sadie's offers standard diner fair and I hope they thrive in this little shop in plaza. read more

We have gone for breakfast 3 times and each time, the service was friendly and attentive, the ambiance was wonderful and the food has been delicious.
