So I want to start off by saying I love this place but when my father and I walk in and after we are seated we wait almost an hour for BREAKFAST!! I mean come on it's breakfast not a freakin 4 course dinner. I guess some businesses can't handle a packed restaurant so from now on I will only eat here if they are not busy. Step it up guys!! read more

2 adults, 9 am for breakfast, friendly and professional waitstaff, varied food selection, large portions, good food, the fried dough samples were a treat, left full, with a doggy box for the hash browns, ice tea/ sodas priced right. A step above other breakfast places. Will return. Interesting Floridian decor! read more

My boyfriend took me here for on our first date 2 years ago... Lol. It was totally unexpected and spontaneous but I loved it. Great atmosphere friendly people. Great prices and the sunny puffs have been going back ever since and haven't been disappointed! read more

Great, family friendly restaurant that happily welcomed my two year old who is not always on her best behavior :-( the service is always good, the food is authentic and unique some mornings. They're extremely welcoming. read more

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Favorite is Cali Chicken Sandwich. Sunny Daze has the best onion rings ever!

I was skeptical to try this place, but I saw the good reviews and gave it a shot. We went for breakfast. The food was great (typical diner breakfast) and very reasonably priced. You could get a lot of food for $3.99. The interior has a beachy theme that is cute and fun for kids. They even have checkers that the kiddos can play with while they wait. The service was very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a fun breakfast experience with the family without breaking the bank. read more

The manager/owner has no idea what he is doind and argues with you if you dare to share any insight to what is wrong with your plate. We used to go here every weekend for 2 years and all of a sudden the last 5 times were definitely the last five times we went. Each time something was wrong. The eggs were not cooked as we wanted, the french toast were smashed and had nothing TEXAS size about them, the coffee the tabasco was old and dark and didn't taste like tabasco and the free fritters they pass around never made it to our table. they either need new cooks or a new owner or BOTH. Don't go here it's sucks! read more

Very good food. Service is good , they always bring a lil something for the kids to snack. The sunny puffs are tasty and hot, all in all good stuff read more

Good fresh food and fast. Decor was quant, first time I every had loaded hash browns like that as well, thru mix cheese and onion and griddle it, gets that crispy cheese flavoe. All with a smile in service. read more

My husband and I were in on Wed 4-13 for breakfast. The special was a spinach omelet, etc. I asked the server about it, she explained. I asked if I could get it with less eggs and more veggies. To my surprise, the cook had put together the best omelet I've had in a long time. I thanked him personally and he was so kind with a big smile. The gals are alot of laughter and fun. So friendly of a place to have a fun meal at. The staff makes it fun to be there. Mitzi read more

I was in Tucson on Saturday for an event for my company and decided to stop in after seeing a lot of good yelp reviews. It was a good decision! Great food & very prompt & positive service. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

Great Customer Service. Great environment, friendly staff, awesome management. I love the atmosphere inside, feels like I am in Mexico-paradise. --daryl lal, sacramento, CA. read more

My husband and I ate there on a busy Sunday afternoon. The coffee cups were continually filled with great service, but the cheesesteak sandwich was not desirable, although big, the meat was so tough that you could barely chew it, and there were no knives at our table to cut it, and my husband had to ask for a knife for himself to spread the jelly on his toast. He said the toast was cold, but chose not to ask the server for anymore. I told him to use his spoon, but he opted to have the server bring him a knife. I did enjoy the onion rings though. read more

What a great neighborhood cafe! Ive eaten here many times for lunch and I love this place! Wide variety of food including excellent Mexican food, although you might not guess it from the tropical beach theme. Fun staff, owners are usually there too cracking the whip but laughing at the same time. The salads are big and fresh, the daily specials are tasty, i usually do the chicken enchilada plate with beans and rice but you really cant go wrong with anything they serve. The Sunny Puffs really hit the spot as a little sweet treat after your meal. The prices are reasonable too, if you haven't been here I think you will really enjoy it if you are in the mood for a Mom and Pop local spot thats not fancy, or expensive, but will give you a nice taste of Tucson. read more

This place is so freaking cool! Very happy my son and I decided to try this joint out! Food was awesome, portions were great and price was excellent! Great little spot to stop in and have some local cuisine at when traveling through Tucson! read more

Excellent service and my whitefish tacos were delicious! We were at Lazydays RV looking at an RV and the salesman recommended this restaurant. We really enjoyed it! read more

Huge menu serving breakfast all day. There should be no problem finding something someone will want to eat. We go here often because of that. Food is pretty good and not too expensive plus they give a good portion. Check in with Yelp and get a free half order of Sunny Puffs which are like warm donuts with a ton of powdered sugar on them. Very yummy if they are fresh and warm (reminds me somewhat of small malasadas with powdered sugar instead of regular sugar, if you're from Hawaii you know what those are). I got the cinnamon roll once and it was hard and obviously had been sitting out for a while. Sad because it was huge and looked so yummy in the display at the front. The pancakes are pretty big and good. We got raspados once but it took so long because I guess only one person makes them and they have to find her first...and then they were just okay. Unfortunately the tables tend to be kind of dirty and sticky and service, although usually friendly, can be hit or miss on attentiveness. We were in there once and the owner (Mark) was yelling at his servers - kind of embarrassing to watch. We haven't seen him in there the last few times we've gone though and at one point we could understand why he would yell at them (again, attentiveness)...though never think it's okay to do it in front of customers. They give a military discount - only if you are in uniform. read more

I have been her a few times, the food is pretty decent quality. But ever time I go, I'm just so disappointed by the service. It just always seems so chaotic. This place has great potential if the owners could be more organized. read more

When my husband and I want a good breakfast this is where we go! He loves their French toast and as a southerner I have to say their chicken fried steak is the next best thing to grandma's (way better than Cracker Barrel hahaha) read more

Breakfast was delicious and inexpensive! I got the country biscuit bowl with sausage gravy. My nephew got the big daddy breakfast and could only eat half of it. read more

This is a TERRIBLE place to eat!!! The food was not cooked right my shrimp was doughy inside! Brought this to server Erika's attention she was VERY RUDE in her reply, NO APOLOGIES! Then went to pay leave ASAP. Person at register said how was everything, I explained about food rude service, that person informed us that Erika was the wife to the owner!! I will NEVER GO THERE EVER!!!. read more

Grow up by this place never went there in till about 2months ago now I go there every other week place is good and not over priced

I really love the breakfast served here! You guys are winning! Keep it up, I'll be there again soon.

So I've seen all the good review on Yelp, and saw how everyone said to try the sunny puffs. Free half order if you check in on yelp while there. So I said sure! There were 4 of us on a Sunday and the place was pretty packed. Good sign right? We were seated and I told the waiter about the sunny puffs for checking in. Even showed her my phone. She said sure, a batch is almost done and she can get us some. Well she comes back a few minutes later with a basket of them. I haven't eaten anything yet so I was looking forward of her plopping down that basket for us. What she did next was weird... yeah... weird. She places 4 napkins down on the table, and proceeds to put one puff each on the napkins. She dropped one which rolled on the table, and she said, "oops, sorry about that" and picked it up and placed it back on the napkin. At least she used tongs, but that was the weirdest way I've seen someone serve us. Saying that they were almost done, and she'd bring some one made it sound like it was being fried as she spoke. What she gave us wasn't even warm. That brought down my expectations. She forgot our utensils so we had to ask for them. And she kept forgetting my daughter's chocolate milk. I asked 3 times. Regarding the menu/food. IT is extensive.. it was hard deciding to go with lunch or breakfast. Maybe cuz of the service, I lost my appetite, so I wasn't feeling the food. Maybe I'll try this place again, but not anytime soon. read more

Sunny Daze Cafe - American Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

See all

Crappy place over all I shouldn't have even sat down they took 10 min to sit us and on top of that they sat people that came in after us before us. Then we sat down and the utensils had dried food on them and to top it off they were short staffed and yelling across the restaurant to communicate. Never going back here again. read more

Food: Good not excellent. Hot and cooked well, but nothing special. Corned beef hash out of a can is a good example. Pancakes good. Huevos rancheros good. Waffles good. Service: Very good and attentive. Ambiance: Good. Casual breakfast place. Price: Fair. I would probably go back. read more

I have been there twice while doing the gem show thing this year, both times for lunch. I loved the Cali burger with avocado and bacon and more. The Mexican Huevos Rancheros were good, but second to the burger. The tropical/marine decor is a hoot and adds to the experience. The waitresses are friendly, though were overwhelmed on one visit by the lunch crush. Had to go up and get my check myself, that kind of overwhelmed. But certainly a great little diner/cafe and worth checking out. read more

What a treasure in Tucson. Outstanding food and service. The food was well prepared and huge portions at a great price. Very clean and well decorated with a Caribbean theme. Very close to the airport. read more

Sunny puffs are as amazing as they say!!! Puffs so good, make you wanna slap yo mama!!

The coffee was not hot! The country gravy was the worst I have ever had. To get sausage in the country gravy it is $.49 more. The sausage was cut up link pieces... The staff was very friendly. Wife had to send eggs back as they were cold! read more

We were looking for a café that had an out door patio that allowed dogs and found this one on yelp. It was so friendly and fun, and just what we wanted! The food was delicious, the portions are large, prices were low and the staff were all super friendly and funny! They make their food from scratch so it's very fresh. Give this place a try and you will be back, just like we will! read more

Outstanding service, staff is very friendly and attentive! The food never disappoints:-)

We always enjoy our breakfast after church here. Great food, served quickly and a very friendly staff. The "Mark" breakfast can feed a small army! The "puffs" are delicious and a nice treat. The staff takes time to get to know you and is attentive. Give it a try! Tamara is the BEST!! read more

Great place I split the cal burger and the unbeatable. Both were awesome and the service was great. Plus we had a great game of checkers while waiting for our food to come. read more

Tons of food. Tasty and hot. Nice attentive staff

For 8years we've been coming to Sunny Daze. We would take the city bus to come before we had a car, the food and environment etc. was always top notch. A happy thought if you will, we'd be happy to come and always invite family and friends. The food was grand with flavor, great portions, not burnt. Now for 2017. These days the atmosphere is different, less comfortable. The service and portions lack the hospitality and generosity of earlier years. I never knew the true definition of blend although I used to throw the word around as if I were an aficionado. But Today's Breakfast help me understand the true meaning of blend on the most intrinsic level. The food had very little flavor and was so uninspiring that I did not want to add anything to make it flavorful. I cannot even say that it tasted like cardboard it was more like Styrofoam or housing insulation. I miss the good ol Days where sunny days was a pleasant place to go, the staff was pleasant and welcoming and the food greatly satisfying and delicious. read more

On a business trip here in Tucson, saw the reviews and decided to stop in and give it a try for lunch. My first meal was cold and tough but they were very quick to accomodate me on another order. Our waiter was fairly new said it was his 3rd day but he was impressive at the lengths he went to make things right...my second meal was the frenh toast supreme and it was amazing. The manager even chased me out into parking lot as I was getting into my car to apologize. Mostakes happen and this place went to great links to take care of me...will return for sure. read more

Checked out Yelp to see what was good in the area. Found this place with good reviews. Very friendly staff from the minute we walked in. If we were rating the staff it would be a 4 or 5 star. But food was only average. One burger was basically a hockey puck. Probably won't be back this visit to Tucson. read more
