Came on by a Saturday morning around 10:30am no wait got seated as soon as the hostess approached us. Very friendly service food came out within 10-15 min from ordering. We went with chicken fried steak so yummy hashbrowns were crispy and soft in the inner layer. Egg quality is amazing and cooked well. Vanilla Iced coffee is yummy however not very sweet if you like a sweeter latte. The biscuit wasn't really to my liking next time I would get some toast instead(: definitely will be returning to try other plates. Music is within normal levels to be able to chat as you eat breakfast and there's plenty of tables to be seated. Areas are clean and well kept.
Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 (if you like classic diners) This place has a happy classic diner feel but the food is elevated. We were surprised by the quality of the food and the execution by the kitchen staff. Our waitress was also super pleasant and you could tell enjoyed her job. This place does everything right for breakfast.
After running a marathon, my hunger was so intense, I could've eaten a horse--or at least a breakfast burrito the size of one. Then, like a beacon of hope on my social media feed, I found this breakfast place. Spoiler alert: it didn't disappoint! The food was so good, it made my taste buds do a happy dance. I didn't snap a pic of the pancakes, but let me tell you, they were the real MVP of the meal. They were so fluffy, I almost asked if they had a personal trainer. The service was friendly, but our server had the memory of a goldfish. She forgot our order, our drinks, and probably her own name at one point. But hey, at least she was consistent! The place was small, so small that I could hear every conversation. It was like being in a breakfast soap opera. "Did you hear about Karen's new cat?" "I can't believe Bob ordered the avocado toast again!" It was all very entertaining.
Sunny Side Cafe in Seal Beach was a whole Sunday morning vibe. We came around 10 a.m. on a Sunday with my son, and I already had an inkling the food was going to be good because the dining room was full of multiple generations. That's always the sign. The wait was about 15 minutes and parking was easy, which is a weekend miracle. While we waited, I watched them use a machine that fresh-squeezes oranges right there. I didn't order the orange juice, but it definitely set the tone. Inside, it was bustling with people coming in and out, but the vibes were still super chill. They had an old-school music playlist that felt perfect for all ages, like everybody could enjoy it. Also, each table had a fresh sunflower, which is such a simple, cute touch. Now let's talk food. My son got the Mini Mooncakes with chocolate chips, and I tried a bite and whew... they slapped. Slightly crisp on the edges, soft and fluffy in the middle, with semi-sweet chocolate chips and buttery goodness. I ordered the All-American with the Load Hash, and it was exactly what I wanted: thick strips of bacon, and eggs that were clearly fresh because the yolks were that bright, rich yellow. The sourdough with their in-house strawberry jam was the perfect little sweet moment on the side. And the Load Hash? Was it a little salty? Yes. Did that stop me from demolishing the whole plate? Not even a little. Best breakfast I've had out in a while. You can tell they care about details and quality. Five out of five. No notes.
Did my first dine in here as I work in the area. The parking lot was full. I ordered the half sandwich and soup and it also came with an AMAZING side salad. The soup was tomato bisque. Delicious, but just a tad too salty for me. I took my half sandwich to go. My friend ordered the Popeye omelet with home fries. The coffee was piping hot and delicious. (just the way I like it) and our server promptly did refills twice in the short time we were there. The prices are reasonable, the staff is pleasant and friendly and the restaurant is SUPER clean and new with plenty of parking. My friend took the key lime pie to go, but ended up eating it there. He said it was good. A "four" for level of tartness. Today was definitely a better experience than the last time I did a "to go" here. I'll be back!
I was in the area and with a quick search (on yelp of course. I found this place) I came on a Saturday around 11 am. They do have a very large parking lot. When we walked in it was packed! But we did get seated right away. The hostess was extremely sweet. We walked past the bakery items in the glass case and asked our hostess about it. And she was kind enough to tell us all about the items. They are known for their cinnamon rolls and key lime pie While walking to our table they have walls COVERED In drawling from all the kids that come in. I thought this was a sweet homey touch. It feels like your local brunch place PS- this place does close at 3 PM everyday Our waiter, Luis took care of. There was some little misunderstandings with our order. But I can't stress how PACKED this place is. Every table was taken. So it's bound to happen here and there Now, to our food We ordered the blueberry pancakes The morning bird sandwich We ordered French fries, loaded potatoes and guacamole for sides For dessert- their famous cinnamon roll, carrot cake and maple donut Even though it was packed and every table taken, our food came out in a timely manner. Our glasses kept getting refilled Service was friendly, but they definitely need more workers for how packed it gets. We did have a couple wrong orders and etc. but again it was packed We did NOT ask to speak to the manager. However, our waiter sent her over. Someone came over and took care of the issue (Valerie is one of the managers) TEN STARS FOR VALERIE!! She was extremely professional about everything. I'd really love to come back to try some of their lunch sandwiches. And huge points for being locally owned and operated They have patio seating (also says dogs welcome) They have private parking Really great homemade baked goods Good prices Good portions I can tell a lot of locals come here, so that's a great sign Wait staff was friendly Despite it being PACKED the food came out fast And I can't praise Valerie enough (the manager who came over and was so professional about the couple things that went wrong) I would 100000 perfect come back
Came here after dropping off some documents to a friend's place. The pancakes were a bit chewy for my mom and for me as well. We needed more syrup but forgot to ask when taking it to go. The eggs were alright. Nothing to write home about. The bacon was a little hard and chewy too. I was able to finish my breakfast in almost its entirety. But my mom had to take her pancakes to go. The place has ample seating and two TV's on the side we were at. They also have a room in the back and they have outdoor seating as well for those that have pets. It was a pricey breakfast but these are the times.
YUMMY BREKKIE SPOT IN SEAL BEACH, CA!!! We visit Seal Beach often in the last few years, for Volleyball tourneys at the local sports center, but we are always in such a hurry to get outta here after gameplay is done, that we don't typically explore the local food scene. With an early finish today we had the chance to sample what Sunny Side Cafe has to offer... finally! Easy walk from the AIM Sports Complex with yelp directions on point. We showed up 40 minutes before closing and did not get any 'tude upon entering, A friendly smile greeted us and made us feel like they were happy we walked in! Great start! Our waiter, Costa, was a cool bloke! Attentive and everything done with a friendly smile. We were eating with time constraints and he made it all work out! Let's EAT! AVOCADO TOAST: Probably one of THEE BEST Avo Toasts I've sampled in THE USA! The Campari Tomato, Feta cheese, chili flakes, poached egg, chopped bacon on Sourdough synergize really well! The avocado has that fresh green hue to it, flavorful and chunky, and a generous serving as well! YUM! STRAWBERRY NUTELLA WAFFLE: The waffle is perfect! Crisp on the outside, yet soft and fluffy inside. Nutella drizzle is ample enough that every bite had that yummy Nutella flavor. Strawberries were fresh. Also added was a graham cracker crumble that added a nice texture to the dish! Delish! CHICKEN FRIED STEAK: Steak is prepared IN HOUSE and does not come pre-made in a box! Yay! Pretty good sized serving with a breading that has a flavorful crunch to it. And that Sausage gravy... LOVED IT! Over Medium eggs were spot on, with just the right runny-ness. The hash browns had a lovely golden brown hue that shows the cook has skilz!! Breakfast heaven right there! I definitely enjoyed it! VERY EASY RECOMMENDATION! For a rare rainy day in California, Sunny Side Cafe shines bright as brunch spot in Seal Beach! We will not hesitate to come back, whenever the chance arises! Yummy stuff! Compliments to Sunny Side Cafe!! :)
Stumbled upon sunny side cafe off the great Yelp reviews and they weren't wrong ! Easy parking, located in a shopping center. They took an old dennys and made it into a cute modern diner. They have a glass case with house made pastries that looked delicious. Also espresso and other coffee options like lattes and matcha. We all got the pancake breakfast and it did not disappoint. Pancake was crispy on the outside and fluffy inside and so so delicious. I got the fresh OJ which was nice and tangy and fresh squeezed. It was hard to choose what to eat as they have many options from American breakfast to chilaquiles and Benedict's. Also lunch items looked very good so will be back to try more.
They have fresh-squeezed orange juice, which pairs perfectly with breakfast. We loved everything we ordered, and there's a lot of space overall. We sat on the patio with our dog, and it felt like an extension of the inside. It was secluded, shaded, and really nice. The space was clean and aesthetic, and the food was great. Overall, a really enjoyable experience.
What a way to wrap up a huge 5-mile walk--by immediately undoing all that effort with an equally huge brunch at Sunnyside Café. I went with the girls for our first visit, and we're already planning our next "walk," which is really just an excuse to come back and eat again. The patio is adorable, enclosed, and cozy for the cooler winter days. It has that perfect hidden café vibe that makes you want to linger a little longer. There were three of us, and naturally we each ordered something different so we could taste-test everything. The Eggs Benedict came smothered in super tasty hollandaise sauce. The breakfast burrito was absolutely massive, definitely big enough for two people to share, and the salsa on the side was really flavorful. I chose the breakfast sandwich, which was huge and delicious with a fluffy egg, melted cheese, moderately crispy bacon, and a slight hint of chipotle mayo that really hit the spot. On the way out, I could not resist the bakery items. Apparently they are known for their Key lime pie, and I can see why. I ended up taking home an entire pie--not just a slice--because after tasting it, I realized it was one of the best Key lime pies I've ever had. I also grabbed one of their carrot cakes, which was right up there with some of the better ones I've tasted. The breakfast prices are nicely affordable, especially considering the generous portion sizes. Bring your appetite because they don't hold back. Parking is easy enough since it's in a lot shared with a small strip mall, but don't drive too fast or you might pass it up. Looking forward to another long walk so I can "afford" to eat here again! :)

My first experience at Sunny Side Cafe was great. A little more expensive than some similar breakfast spots, but the food was good. Since then, I have had multiple disappointing meals. I brought my wife the second time, and she didn't like her meal. My pancakes weren't nearly as good as the first time Another time, I met up with a friend, and the service was extremely slow, and even worse, my pancakes were horrible. I honestly think they spilled some extra dry mixing in the bowl on accident or something like that, because they were BAD The ambiance is nice, and most of the staff is friendly. The last waitress I had seemed a little off, maybe just because it was busy. I wish I could go back to that first experience I had, but in about 4 trips since then, haven't had that same taste/feeling. Maybe the first time was just good because there was nobody else there, so the service was quick, food was fresh, and they put more time/effort into it read more

My husband brought me to this adorable diner for breakfast! We had the Daybreak with a waffle and the ribeye steak & eggs. All items were delicious. The waffle had an option for cinnamon butter too, delish. They also serve freshly squeezed orange juice. cappuccinos, and lattes. The coffee was not third wave but still a step up from Denny's. Th sugar cubes were a nice touch! Their friendly staff attended to each costumer in a timely manner while they also checked in on the foods/drinks through out. Last thing, I love a good minimalist aesthetic and the ambience in the diner did not disappoint. Inside was very nostalgic of old dinners only with modern decor. Wouldn't definitely recommend! read more

I pretty much had a perfect breakfast here this morning. I ordered the Denver omelet with home fries and wheat toast. The omelet had fluffy eggs and a good balance of meat, vegetables, and cheese. The home friy potatoes were soft with some crispy edges with perfectly cooked diced bell peppers and onions where it was all cooked through with out any burnt or dried out pieces. All was perfectly seasoned. I got wheat toast, which was toasted nicely and the homemade Jam was not too sweet with just a touch of tartness. The coffee was flavorful and it was served with creamer and sugar cubes. I can't remember the last time I saw sugar cubes in a restaurant. Service was friendly and attentive. The ambiance was clean and bright. Will definitely come back when I'm in the area. read more

It was my first time stopping at Sunny Side for breakfast, and the food was good, the service was attentive and friendly, but I'd say the prices are a bit high for what you get. Also, it felt like it took extra long to get our meals! We ordered the Daybreak with French toast, scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, with a side of hash browns, while my daughter ordered the grilled cheese with tomato soup. I received my order way before hers, so my daughter sat there without her breakfast for quite some time. After seeing that they had freshly squeezed orange juice, I decided to order a glass, but I was disappointed to see a partially filled cup when I received it (see picture). For $7, I would expect it to be filled up a bit more, especially when I saw others' glasses being topped off. When I asked our server if this was a "full" glass, she replied with a "Yes." Not sure if I'll be back... read more

Hi Susan, thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your comments…
Finally tried this amazing new cafe!!! Plenty of free parking - Was curious about the ambiance, since it use to be a Dennys - oh my gosh super cute! They have local kids coloring in the hall hanging up. Lots of seating area- a cute outdoor patio space. The service was great, friendly and plenty of it. Okay, now the food. Amazing so good. We met my in laws there and they loved it too! My mother in law said they want to try it for lunch ( they live in San Pedro :)). The seeing size is plentiful and none of us left hungry. read more

Love love love this place! It was my first time here today, everything was absolutely delicious. Let me say, I am a huge matcha drinker, and their vanilla matcha latte did NOT disappoint. It was so smooth and yummy, while also still tasting like actual matcha (iykyk). The banana nut bread was also pleasantly surprising, they included I believe chocolate chips in it, which I enjoyed. Now the breakfast burrito is what sold me. The salsa itself is flavorful, but the burrito is a 10/10. Service was great too. If you're thinking about trying this place out, do it! read more

Great old school breakfast spot with reasonable prices. Customer service was great. Pancakes were larger than normal and tasted great. Turkey sausage was very flavorful. The only negative I found was i wish they gave you normal 1/2 and 1/2 instead of the processed creamer. That was the only hiccup. I still Definitely recommend. read more

Local place to have a solid breakfast. Last time I was here I had traditional eggs, side of bacon/sausage & French toast with coffee. Pretty basic breakfast but DELICIOUS nonetheless! French toast was great! I've had many breakfasts here! Looked for photos of the multiple times I've been & I only have 1 photo of day I ate at counter & had French toast (the little purple flower in the vase lol) & the others are the soft opening! Next time more photos! Go have breakfast here, it's great! read more

2nd time here and food is good! Local eggs are served and are super fresh and orange (good sign of a healthy egg). Also caught off guard how GREAT the espresso drinks & matcha are. My boyfriend got an iced vanilla latte and it was perfect sweetness. I got an iced vanilla matcha latte and was so good. They make their vanilla syrup in house, you can even see the vanilla bean specks at the top of the drinks a bit. We both got oat milk as well it was great. When there's a bit of a wait they're accurate with how long you'll wait to be seated. I say quality food and will definitely keep coming back! Oh also the seating is mostly all booths so you're nice and cozy :-) highly recommend the biscuits with I think brown sugar cinnamon butter? We didn't know it came with chicken fried steak and was SO GOOD. better than a cinnamon roll. Portions are also huge and generous. read more

Hi Jacqueline! Thank you so much for your generous review :)
Wanted some bkfst and this place was right by our hotel. Our server was very nice. He took our order and the food took a hot minute but it was not a big deal. We ordered coffee, hot tea, chx fried steak and eggs, an all American with 4 extra eggs and oatmeal and berries. The food was good but the kitchen only gave 3 extra eggs. We let our server know and he made sure the extra egg was taken off the bill. Also, I didn't end up eating a lot of my bkfst (not because of taste, just wasn't very hungry) and he discounted it. Definitely did not expect that. Again, he was very nice. I would eat here again. read more

June 2023 We've been twice now. We like it, the food is good, fresh & good size servings ( not all over the plate). Both times we went for breakfast. Eggs, hash browns, bacon, pancakes, french toast and a cinnamon roll. My one disappointing take away .. when a restaurant takes one small piece of bread and cuts it in half and calls it an order of toast. That small piece isn't enough when served with a breakfast plate. Then proceeds to charge $2.00 for another piece of toast. The staff is nice & the place is very clean & bright .. obviously much better than Denny's. read more

5 stars for what it is- a diner. They've done an incredible job in the remodel. Lots of thought put into the set up. There is a bar with outlets below the counter. The service was very friendly, although a tad slow on taking orders. In fairness, it was a random Tuesday and we were not in a rush. They have a nice selection of food for both breakfast and lunch. It was bright, clean and welcoming inside with TVs towards the backside of the restaurant. Our food was great, the breakfast potatoes and burrito were perfect. Hubs pancakes were a hit. We will definitely come back on the weekend with the kids. read more

Hello Natasha! Thank you for your kind words and taking the time to…
Great cafe we went to yesterday! It's used to be a Denny's. Now it is Sunny Side Cafe. Cute name I think. The host and our server were sweet! When we arrived the host greeted us and took us to our table. We sat on the other side of the cafe where there were bigger tables and booths. My son, who is on the spectrum, wanted to sit without me by his side. This was the first time he did that. Lol but he handled it quite well. The host placed his menu and crayons and front of him. Then my husband and I sat directly across. We told our server we'll order his chicken strips with fries and brown butter chocolate chip cookie. She asked us if we wanted to start with the cookie first. My husband and I immediately said yes like she read our mind hehe! Then I ordered a chilaquiles verdes and my husband ordered a chorizo omelette with wheat toast. Drinks, one chocolate milk and two black coffee. Our coffee were topped off every time to keep it nice and hot/warm. My chilaquiles was soo good. I've never had it with feta cheese before. The spicy level was mild but the Serrano pepper that came with the meal certainly made my dish spicier. My son enjoyed the cookie. There was a chocolate chip in every bite. He didn't touch his chicken strips because he was just busy with the cookie! My husband said his omelette was pretty good. He finished the whole thing. We'll definitely go back and try other dishes. read more

Wow!!! Given the sheer volume of places that I eat at it is increasing difficulty to be impressed let alone blown away, and especially by breakfast. Let me start by saying I have been working on a book on breakfast places for over a decade so I have a massive sample size and that it is my favorite meal by far. Sunny side cafe blew me away! The place has a very misleading old diner that you might find anywhere USA, which is to say nothing at all that suggests the quality and caliber of it food. It's more the kind of food lace you expect the older regulars to meet up and drink coffee. The food however.....wow! I had the Mediterranean egg dish and it was light and tasty and perfect, also at the table was the chilaquiles with steak and the tastes were nuanced and balanced and the steak could have been a star in its own plate. The pancakes might be the fluffiest tastiest ones I've ever tried and to finish the experience off a big glass of fresh squeezed OJ made the meal perfect. read more

A new place in the neighborhood! We have been there about 5 times for breakfast with our toddlers. They're still working on some things, so the experience isn't perfectly smooth, but the menu and quality of the food is solid. We love the French toast, homemade jam, and chilaquiles. The servers/waitstaff are hit or miss, but we had Joanne today as our server and she was so welcoming, attentive, and just overall on top of it. Despite taking care of 6-7 other tables she made us feel like she was paying special attention to us. One suggestion for management is the addition of booster seats for small children, especially due to the majority of the tables being booth style seating. read more

Hello Jennifer! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, I…
My wife had to go to Quest diagnostics in the same parking lot so after she was done I suggested we try this place. It took over the Denny's that was previously here but they gave it a nice facelift with new furniture and decor. Place was packed to the brim yet they were moving people quickly. While waiting there's a display case of beautiful desserts teasing you for later. After being seated we were blown away to find out they've only been open for 5 days. Honestly from start to finish this place felt like a well oiled machine. Great service, fantastic food, and comfortable atmosphere. Our waiter Adam was so friendly and did a perfect job even though it was packed. For my breakfast I went with the "Popeye omelette" which had spinach, bacon, tomatoes, and feta cheese. I got hashbrowns and and paid the $2 to have them "loaded" which includes bacon, cheese, and pico de gallo. $2 well spent. It also came with some rustic sourdough toast and housemade strawberry jam. My wife went with the chorizo omelette. I kept hearing them tell other tables the kitchen was backed up but I felt the food came out in a normal timespan. Seriously, for being open 5 days this was a delicious breakfast. Thick perfectly cooked bacon throughout. I loved everything about my breakfast and I was amazed how well they're doing for being in "soft opening" phase. By the time we finished our meals we both felt like we were about to explode but I saw an old lady walk past my table with a giant cinnamon roll in a take-out box. We ordered two to go but sadly they only had now left so now I have to share it. The things we do for our spouses. I haven't eaten it yet but I'll be sure to update later when I do. Update: awesome tasting cinnamon roll. Seriously, good job Sunny Side Cafe. If this is how good you are during soft opening I can't wait to return! read more

Loved the ambiance, the location, the service and the overall vibe of the cafe! Wanted to meet a friend for a brunch, and was craving a poached egg, bacon and still a healthy option that wouldn't leave me overfilled. I am picky about my avocado toast since I ordered one at another cafe and it left me hungry - this one left me full but not overstuffed, and the taste was perfect! The bacon they use is not the bacon bits like most restaurants, but actual bacon bacon! Thank you for a wonderful brunch! And the hazelnut latte hit the spot too! read more
