Amazing! I love the small'ish menu. Means they do all well. The coffee they poured was amazing. Everything was completely clean and spotless. I got the Mediterranean eggs and they were incredible. So fresh and seasoned perfectly. I can't wait to go back! read more

This place took FOREVER to serve us and the waiter was a little rude, the food was dry and gross. I do not recommend this place.

AMAZING breakfast spot! The best French toast I've ever had, amazing service, cute atmosphere, they were so busy on Super Bowl Sunday and still were able to seat us quickly and provide great service :) Drove all the way from Dana Point after hearing the raving reviews and will definitely make the drive again. read more

Friendly and attentive staff, decor makes for a nice ambiance. You can tell that they use high quality ingredients. Pastries are made in house, daily. The overall vibes are immaculate! Menu items include your classic breakfast foods, with some unique Mediterranean twists. Blackened salmon was perfectly cooked and delicious! The chocolate chip cookies were warm, with the most perfect ratio of chocolate chips. I had the cinnamon roll and it was perfectly baked and frosted. My friend had a tuna melt and fried zucchini...absolute perfection. The coffee is organic and the barista is a true artist when it comes to cappuccinos. A must try. read more

We came in today for a quick bite since we were in the area. We were seated immediately and drink orders were taken. Brought the drinks back and took our food order. We had to inquire as to where our food was 40 minutes later, and were told there were still two tickets ahead of ours. Manager noticed us looking around and asked is we were waiting for our food and we said yes, obviously not happy. He said he'd get right on it. Five minutes later our food did come. It was decent at best. Won't be returning or recommending. read more

Chicken fried steak was delicious. everything was cooked to perfection how I ordered it. will be back!

We loved this place. Food amazing, and loved the little touches. Cloth napkins, real glasses, our hostess brought us a little jar of their home made jam, and our server Tiffany was great. We will be back! read more

Great local place for breakfast! We tried the waffles and avocado toast with some lattes, enjoyed all our items. Will probably be a regular place when we do activities in the area :) read more

I ordered Daybreak breakfast. 2 Pancakes were huge and thick, not too sweet. The 2 porched eggs were just right for me, might be too small for some other ppl. 2 bacons are crispy. Guests were polite and helpful. They helped. me to open the entry door, since I walked in with a walker. On the way out, the front desk waiter told me to hold down a second, he came out from the desk and opened the door foe me and held the door wide open until both me and him exited. His name is Rob. I am so happy to have a friendly, decent cafe in my town. read more

Great Food, Great Service, Cleam and Beautifup Atmosphere paired with fluffy pancakes, fresh baked goodies and hot cups of coffee.

First time coming to sunny side cafe with my family and we had a wonderful time. Janelle was super sweet and attentive. Food was great and my family became apart of the clean plate club. Will be back! read more

Have gone to the Sunny Side Cafe a few times now and everything we ordered was super yummy!! The avocado toast was so good and the pancakes were so yummy as well. Can't wait to return. The staff were very attentive and friendly. I did not try any of the pastries, but they looked so delish as well!! You will not be disappointed if you go there. read more

Had to try the newest breakfast & lunch spot in Seal Beach, Sunny Side Cafe & they exceeded our expectations! Their location is conveniently located close to the 405 freeway and had plenty of parking. We arrived around 12:30 during the height of lunch hour rush and were seated right away. My friend has dietary restrictions and they were extremely accommodating with her special requests. I tried the shrimp tacos and they were divine! Big luscious pieces of shrimp and a hefty portion of guacamole. We also tried the overnight oats and it was so fresh and tasty with almond butter. The food is delicious and so aesthetically pleasing. We will be back soon to try more items and baked goods! read more

Wow! The food was superb. I ordered the steak sandwich and it was so delicious and tender and came with a generous amount of Fries. Also the Tomato soup was very hearty and flavorful. And of course don't forget to try the cheesecake, it was the best! Service was top notch, And the place looks great too! Bravo read more

The food was delicious and the quality was amazing! We started off with a parfait for the table and it was the best one I've had a restaurant the fruit was so fresh! For our mains we ordered the French toast, burrito, chilaquiles, and the breakfast sandwich. The cinnamon butter spread thing was amazing, I will crave that. The chilaquiles were flavorful, I love the green sauce and the feta was so good and creamy. The brioche bun on the sandwich was the perfect touch. The breakfast burrito was a good size and not greasy, definitely add avocado! And to finish off we tried the key lime pie, the crust was literal perfection! The restaurant is super cute and my favorite little addition/touch was that they had sugar cubes for my coffee! 10/10 recommend! I can't wait to go back! read more

this place was very cute & good food! was super bummed that i wasn't able to order coffee since they didn't have any non-dairy milk options for the lattes? hoping they will change that soon read more

Well, after having such a wonderful dining experience at Sunny Side Cafe the other day, my wife and I decided to return to sample their lunches (brunches). The last time we were in, we ordered from the breakfast menu which was delicious. We certainly wanted to order off their lunch menu. Before I get into that, unfortunately, we didn't have Joanne as our server who was fantastic. However, we were assigned a table which was attended by Janelle. Janelle was also fabulous, which leads me to believe all the staff at Sunny Side Cafe are the best of the best. Now back to lunch. My wife and I ordered different menu items. Neither of us were disappointed. The food was beyond delicious. The whole atmosphere at Sunny Side Cafe is, well "Sunny". What a wonderful place to dine. Anyone who goes to this Cafe will enjoy themselves. But that's not all. We got to meet the owner, Katrina. What a wonderful young lady. She put together this whole dining experience. We chatted for a little while and she has quite a story. It was so nice to meet Katrina. It was extra special to meet the woman who created such an extraordinary place to dine. Well, it won't be long until we return. Our only question is whether we order from the tempting breakfast menu or select off the unbelieveable lunch menu. I highly recommend Sunny Side Cafe for a great dining experience. read more

Just leaving now. And we were surprised it was still daylight. Seated immediately, order taken quickly, then we lost interest. We waited and waited... and waited. Diners who came in after us got their orders before us. And we just had a burrito and bacon and eggs. The servers stopped by with sincere apologies but no plates. I don't fault our server, he hustled. But 45 minutes later, we were ready to call it. Then the food came. Food was fine, normal, ordinary, nothing outstanding by any means. We did get a break on the bill, but nothing about this dining experience will bring us back. read more

The food is good but the service is not do good. No one in the building smiled or welcomed you and meant it. The only time we seen a big smile is when we left and the hostess smiled big and said have a great day. The waiter was not so friendly and the lady who brought us our food was NO smiles too. Weird. We thought the food was great but not interested in going to a place where you do not feel welcome. When you eat out it should be a happy experience and this was not. read more

Joanne our waitress was very pleasant and provided great service. Chicken orzo soup was very good. We'll be back

Amazing service, amazing food, and amazing vibes. Everyone is so friendly and the food is delicious PS: Try the cinnamon rolls read more

Food and service good Very clean and nice decor Was so happy to find a true turkey sandwich with real turkey meat. Shaved Turkey Breast no Carageenan tumbled in product. So many places replace cheaper products to keep cost down, not at Sunny Side Cafe. Hope they keep the quality of food and service. Will go back! read more

My daughter and I recently had lunch there and the food was great. We shared the Mediterranean eggs and they were delicious. I should have had my own plate. The ambiance is very well thought out and has some nice touches. I like the kid's drawings that they had framed and displayed on a wall. I can't wait to go back there to try some new dishes read more

Yelp make sure this gets posted 5 stars! The food was amazing farm fresh eggs, fresh squeezed OJ, along with their fresh squeezed lemonade with fresh strawberries, my family had French toast,pancakes from scratch! I had avocado toast with a poached egg, coffee good Too! Definitely my new go to restaurant for fresh clean food! Yum! read more

Fast, courteous service and plenty of seating. Very sunny inside, not too dim like many restaurants and I like that. The presentation of the food was nice however .... I love Chilaquiles but only with fresh tortilla chips and sauce/salsa. I asked the waitress if they make their chips or if they come from a bag/package. She told me they are freshly made. That was the deciding factor for me. These chips were thin and not very crispy and not flavorful as fresh made tortilla chips usually are. The sunny side up egg whites were not set. I could not vibe with that so I asked for them to be run back under some fire. The chef offered to make me another order of eggs which was nice, but I just wanted the entire dish to be put under fire for the eggs to set and any part of the food some might have touched plus the chips were not warm. Further, the green sauce was flat so all I could taste was the tartness of lime juice, no salt, cilantro, or garlic flavors came through. The tart was so overpowering, made it impossible to enjoy the combination of flavors from the cheese, chips, eggs and meat that should meld in your mouth and party together. I ended up eating the steak pieces separately because it cost an additional $7 and I didn't want to ruin that part. The steak was totally worth it. Fairly tastand cooked to my specifications, but the Chilaquiles should cost less if they are not frying up fresh strips/chips and adding a flavorful and comforting green sauce. I also ordered coffee which was basic diner coffee, nothing special outside of coming with free refills. The biggest take away for me is, if the name of your food establishment is the same as one of the items on that menu, you better make sure you master that item. NOTE TO CHEF: Tilt that pan towards you and spoon the hot oil over the unset white around those yolks! read more

Super cute and clean spot. Incredible food, breakfast all day, great service that is fast and friendly. Prices are fair, especially as everything inevitably gets more expensive. A regular go-to spot. The burger, fries, and pancakes are some faves, but truly everything we have tried so far is delicious! read more

Great service! Food is delicious! Definitely coming back for the pancakes and biscuits & gravy... Got a key lime pie on the house!

All staff members were friendly and happy. A good place for us and a good place for them. Two thumbs up!! read more

A delightful surprise, so much better than its predecessor Dennys. Coffee is superb, home made hash browns and yummy bacon never disappoints. Warm maple syrup and friendly service makes this a lovely place for brunch. read more
