    Sunny puffs - a better powdered donut that will make you wonder what you've been missing

    Their powdered sugar puffs are delicious, especially when you ask for them fresh! They've got a relaxed, rustic interior that makes you feel like you're in Hawaii. They're quick with your order as much as they can be when it's busy.

    Love this place! The service here is always so warm and welcoming, and makes me love my visits. The inside has a cool decor, and a nice outside patio that is enclosed. The food is delicious. Also, the plates are enormous, so you'll definitely have some leftovers. If you're near the airport and looking for breakfast, skip Denny's and Waffle House and opt for Sunny Daze. The price point is the same (actually probably better), so you just get way more bang for your buck. Easy choice.

    Turkey patty and eggs was delicious....

    Organic ambiance and great food. Staff was friendly and inviting. Food was prepared perfectly and they have plenty of choices. I would definitely make sure I stop every time I'm in Tucson. Don't miss out.

    How have I lived here for 18+ and never tried this place I will never know... but today we did while trying to find a place we had never been. We hit them on a Saturday AM and were able to be seated right away. The place is cute inside, with a diner type vibe to it. Everyone was friendly and welcoming with a smidge of edge, so most reviews that talk about service are spot on - I think the service is what really makes this place. We ordered the sunny puffs, which are like little beignets but consistency is different. They are delicious though, like little light powered donuts. I ordered the omelet/biscuit bowl, my husband the huevos rancheros (Mexican version on the menu). Okay so normally he is very judgey and hard core about Huevos Rancheros but here (and I thought for sure he would diss them when I saw the plate) he LOVED them. He went on and on about the sauce, and our server gave him a little container to take home. Mine was fine, solid food.

    We had a party of seven and were fortunate that we didn't need to wait long for a table. The service was very good and the food was also very good. The employees seem to be happy and care about the organization and the restaurant itself, although a bit dated, is clean and comfortable. We had a positive experience.

    If you want a good breakfast/brunch without Haston wait too long or pay outrageous prices, this is the spot. Service was quick, food was great. I'd definitely come back

    "Catfish" sandwich
    Howard B.

    Sunny Daze looked like a fun place to spend some time while we waited for a flight to come in at the airport. We were immediately surprised by the rude treatment from the person that sat us. It was one of those moments where you sit down and ask each other if maybe we should just go someplace else. We decided to shrug it off and ride it out because the food looked good and there were some fun looking choices. My wife had a grilled chicken sandwich and we both had a laugh over the scarcity of chicken; It was mostly bread. I ordered the fried catfish sandwich and it looked really good on the plate but aside from the pleasing visual, the rest of my catfish sandwich experience was a let down. First off, I don't believe for a second that it was actually catfish and second, the fish was not at all fresh. I ate about half of it before I just couldn't handle any more. My wife really enjoyed the French fries and I just thought there were too many of them. Last thing is that our server never came back to check on us or refill our drinks. She just gave us the bill and told us we could pay on the way out. Overall, I would recommend against this place.

    Puffs

    Overall, our experience was pleasant, and I would recommend this restaurant . I did find the flamingo theme really cute. For the food, I personally ordered the Lolo breakfast with French toast. Pretty standard, the portion size is definitely worth your money. My co workers enjoyed their dishes as well. Those little puff treats were delicious. They reminded me of beignets with powdered sugar. Coffee was decent. I forgot our servers name, but she was really sweet and welcoming

    Pasole
    Lacey G.

    I love the old-school diner feel of this restaurant, and I love the flamingo decor all throughout. The service is always fast and friendly and the menu is vast. There is a large range of dishes to choose from that are both traditional breakfast with a mix of Mexican food. It had been years since I had been here, and I recently went again and had an excellent experience. The pasole was absolutely delicious and my skillet was served hot and fresh. This restaurant is also dog friendly for those with doggies they want to take to breakfast. This is definitely a little hidden and I would recommend a stop here!

It was a perfect place to meet someone who had just flown in to TIA. It's a short drive over from the airport with lots of comfortable booths, and plenty of free parking. Our server Justin, was awesome - super friendly, and understood from the get-go that we would be hanging out for a few hours, waiting for someone else's flight to arrive. The food and drink selections were plentiful, and the place went from being relatively quiet to hopping with customers of all ages, to quiet again. Justin handled all the tables, making sure to check on us, too. Before we left, we complimented his ability to multitask with such an upbeat attitude - always smiling - which added to how much we enjoyed our experience. We ordered the hummus plate, the salmon entree, and the apple pecan salad and all were delicious. Definitely a great place to consider for a meal when picking up hungry travelers, or for a satisfying meal when arriving to Tucson hungry with no idea where to find decent options. ¡Gracias, Justin, and SOL!

Staff is warm, welcoming and professional. I can't get over the Masa Cake! I love how the ingredients here are kept simple but are bursting with flavor. I have experienced farm to table menus before that were largely dependent on the high quality ingredients as a selling point-but they lacked character and flavor. That is not the case here. 5 points is filled with talent. I really think that 5 points is one of the places to showcase Tucson food.

Reminds me of farm to table. I bookmarked this place because I saw a couple of congee pics and I was excited to try it. After being seated I scanned the menu quickly and was disappointed that I couldn't find it. I asked the waiter and he said it was a seasonal item. Bummer. We had an early dinner reservation that day so I wanted to get something light. I decided on the Japanese Sweet Potato and my son got the 5 Points Burger. Everything was delicious with service to match so no complaints at all. We ended our meal with a Banana Date Tea Cake to give us that sugar rush to fuel our Colossal Cave Tour. All-in-all, I highly recommend this place. Service was friendly and attentive.

It's even better when you get it straight from the source. What I love: An expanded selection of small-batch beers you won't find anywhere else. There were like 3 IPAs I'd never heard of before. They even had a lager made with pickles! (not my thing, but it has fans). You can also tell right away this spot is great for large groups, and the patio is like 50 feet long--probably amazing in better weather What I like: You can't go wrong with the food, either. I'm a big fan of the southwestern egg rolls (a better rendition of them than a certain chain restaurant). The sandwiches are decent. Nothing really sticks out as a signature item, and nothing is made with a particular beer pairing in mind, but I'll forgive them--it's solid food. When it cools down a bit, I'll certainly return here to try more lesser-known beers and a snack. The location is a little out of the way, but you won't regret going a couple miles outside of downtown for this.
