Ellen S.

This use to be the Wild Goose Cafe many, many, many moons ago. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute place and layout.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They still have local artist painting/art on the wall for purchase (love that they support their community). The coffees are great and the pastries even better. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Its not pretentious cafe in anyway. They welcome singles, couples, families and those with pets.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We stayed awhile enjoying our coffees and pastries and people watched.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Bacon eggs Benedict with a mixed green salad hands

From the friendly smiles and warm welcoming from the pour of the expresso till the hand off Sunny's was nothing less of a delightful experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]With a homey and relaxed atmosphere and what seems and endless amount of mouth watering pastries.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But what stole the show for me was an unprecedented sign "eggs Benedict " a new special only during the weekdays in preference to the locals . The rich and delicate hollandaise sauce was topped with fresh cracked pepper and a dab of sprouts . Accompanied by a homemade vinaigrette and mixed green salad hands down made the visit all that memorable. Next time you think about coming to Sunny's keep an eye out for the sign displayed at the register, I know I will ,till next time Sunny's .

Breakfast sandwich with poppy seed bagel - 7/10
Teresa V.

This place is cute and welcomes pets. Seems most of the patrons are locals. The staff is friendly and you could tell they enjoy working here. We ordered a breakfast sandwich, an open-faced Lox bagel sandwich, and a fruit parfait (not pictured). They were all delicious, especially the lox bagel. I would definitely order that again. They also have handmade tile art that is for sale and featured all over their walls. The bakery is located in a small center that has a market and other restaurants. We walked around and could really feel the small town vibe, which I absolutely adore. Definitely stop by here when visiting Carmel.

Almost gone before 10:00 am.

I had to rate this spot again. I am a seasonal returner to Carmel Valley. I'm a creature of habit when it comes to my favorite places to eat, and this one never disappoints. For a picky eater that I am. I love stopping in here--it's one of the few places where I feel genuinely tempted to try something new. The frittatas are amazing, and they offer a great variety of thoughtfully selected pastries, including options for dietary restrictions like gluten-free. Staff are always friendly and patient with the curious like me. :)

Blueberry Scone

Such a gem! We stumbled upon Sunny Bakery Cafe while driving from Carmel Valley to Big Sur and decided to stop for breakfast. I immediately loved that they were dog friendly, and the barista even gave my dog a biscuit. The interior had colorful wooden furniture, wall art, and a cozy ambiance. I ordered a Dirty Chai Latte, which was tasty and not overly sweetened, and the open-face Bagel with Lox. The bagel itself was just ok, but tasted great as a sandwich with the cream cheese, lox, onions, and capers. It was also so filling, I ended up taking half of it to-go. I also got a Blueberry Scone for the road, which was great. The blueberries in the middle were so tasty, and the dough had the right level of sweetness. Service was quick and so friendly/welcoming! Overall, I would happily return to try more items.

Incredible perfectly toasted divine lox bagel!

I brought my family of 8 (6 adults/2 children) for breakfast here last Sunday. The restaurant was…read morepretty busy, which was great to see. Beth greeted us and organized a table for us. I was pretty amazed how Beth and her colleague were able to keep up with all the tables, inside and outside. Nicely done! We ordered a diverse cross section of breakfast dishes. I ordered the Monty Cristo sandwich special (3/5) with the trailside potatoes. It was a ham and cheese sandwich using French toast. The ham was just thin deli meat and would have been better if made with a thicker ham steak. The trailside potatoes (4/5) were also not as good as my first breakfast here, but still pretty good. My wife order the jalapeno popper omelette (5/5) and really enjoyed it. The rest of our party had a good experience with their meals. So while the food was pretty solid, Beth was a rock star on the service side. Although she appeared a little hectic, she did a great job keeping everything straight and every table served with a smile. As a local, we are lucky to have Trailside Cafe. This is a solid breakfast choice.

Food was delicious! I ordered a Three Cheese Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Tomato Basil soup and it was melty and buttery and it warmed my soul on this rather overcast day. Service was superb! I was able to choose my own table, she always made sure my Sprite was never empty, and she rushed a second sandwich order for me when I still had some soup left over and wanted more to dip. I didn't catch her name, but she was awesome. Thanks for the experience and I'll definitely be recommending this place to folks willing to travel to Carmel Valley. It's worth it!

I also added a side of bacon and a biscuit with jam. When our food arrived I immediately asked them for butter for my biscuit which then never arrived. At some point my husband got up to ask for butter, while he was gone the server came back and asked how our food was, to which I responded can I please have some butter. She then proceeded to ask me the most ridiculous question of "oh did they not bring you any butter?" To which I responded by presenting her with my butter free table. Oh my husband returned. He told me that apparently they charged $1.50 for butter. When the butter finally arrived more than like 10 or 15 minutes later from the original time that I asked for it, my biscuit was inevitably of course cold. So then when the server did finally come with the butter, I actually told her I was like you know what my biscuit is now cold and I don't have any need for the butter so I just want to send both back. To which she offered to heat up the biscuit... I told her that that wasn't necessary that I just wanted to send it back. When our bill came, they charged us both for the biscuit and for the butter. When my husband let the server know she made a mistake and she forgot to remove the biscuit and butter her she then told him that she had to go talk to her manager. At this point, I already thought it was a little bit weird that she had to have a conversation with her manager about something that she need to remove from the bill, but whatever I didn't really think much of it. A couple minutes later, the manager arrives and asks us if we had any issues with the bill. I let her know that they didn't remove the butter or the biscuit after we sent it back. To which she then now had a new argument for me saying that we had been told on the menu that they charge $1.50 for butter... That wasn't the dispute the dispute was that we sent everything back untouched. So why would we be charged for it? She then proceeded to argue with me telling me that I was very rude. And then she rolled her eyes and only spoke to my husband from that point on. Of course, they ended up removing the butter and the biscuit which by the way came out to a total of $7.50 when she returned, she told me to never come back to the restaurant again. I have never in my life been told any such thing. But, worry not this unnecessarily pretentious group of stationaery employees... I shall never return to this establishment again you couldn't pay me to come back and re-experience this extremely underwhelming throw away of a service ever again.

I walked in, immediately gravitated to the wall of bread, picked up a loaf, immediately put it back when I saw they had slabs of focaccia as well and got one of those instead. The other baked goods of the day were on display, so I got a piece of raspberry-iced olive oil cake and a slice of the pumpkin loaf. Will definitely be back - this is right down the road from a place we've been staying in Carmel Valley. Exciting to see this bakery in a quieter area that we happen visit every year. We'd definitely been getting our Ad Astra fix over the entire weekend: we had stopped by the other location the day before, and our friends who we stayed together with even brought some stuff from this one for us to try. But eager to see the place with my own eyes, I ventured out in the rain on our last morning in Carmel Valley. Excellent as always. We enjoyed the focaccia at home over the next few days; the cake and loaf piece were tender and moist.

We stopped by while driving along the coast and ordered a cappuccino, a latte, and a tiramisu. The café itself is small and has a nice atmosphere, but it definitely feels like it could use some renovation. The biggest disappointment was the coffee. Both drinks were watery, bitter, and tasted more like regular drip coffee than something you'd expect from a café with such high ratings. The tiramisu was also much smaller than expected and much sweeter than a traditional tiramisu. There was also a small outdoor patio, which could be really charming, but it also looked tired. The wooden tables were weathered, dusty, and in need of some care I know this café is known as an old French café, and I really wanted to love it. I truly hope they invest a little into both the space and the coffee because the location has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, this visit just didn't live up to all the amazing reviews.
