I love this little place. Such great paninis. My favorite Is the Tuscan one! Fresh squeezed lemonade. And the best little cookies. One of my favorite lunch places. You can also visit their stand at the farmers markets on Sunday's across from north county mall. read more

Stopped here for take out on our way back north, and oh my gosh! So tasty! Veggie panini was fantastic, as was the bacon avocado panini. Lemonade is definitely fresh squeezed, not too sweet either. Just right for a light lunch, filling without feeling heavy. Highly recommend! read more

My wife calls me and asks if I know of a restaurant that delivers because she couldn't leave her work and she was really hungry. Luckily, Yelp to the rescue and directed me to this quaint little cafe. I ordered online and within 25 minutes, she calls to thank me. Not only that, she went on to say how delicious her salad and Panini sandwich was. I scored huge points on the 'Greatest Husband Award". Thanks, Sunny Side Kitchen for your great food and quick delivery! read more

Came in and with no expectations. And came left with a mouth full of joy. The panini's were so delicious, they even come with a small fruit cup on the side. Everything tasted fresh. We will definitely be coming back. Thanks Kate & the crew. read more

Absolutely five star!!! Staff are super friendly! I really love them. The food is fresh, handmade and yummy!

Great breakfast/lunch place. Super friendly, great food and yummy baked goods. Fresh and delicious. Must go!

We were visiting from out of town and found this place on yelp. The food and coffee was excellent for a great price. We got a breakfast panini and lattes. All the food was fresh and delicious. The service was excellent and staff was very friendly. We had our little dogs with us and everyone greeted them. They have indoor and outdoor seating and the decor is cute and cozy. If you haven't been here yet, give them a try! read more

Came here for lunch after seeing all the 5 star reviews. I have to say I was a bit dissapointed, maybe my expectations were too high. First there is almost no seating, only 3 tables or so? Fine it is a small place but seriously you can barely walk in much less eat in here. I would view this place as takeout only. I ordered the lemonade on this hot day based on many good reviews. I was shocked to find it was very watered down and had no flavor. Um this is supposed to be good lemonade? Maybe the heat melted the ice too fast or something? I got the new chicken pesto panini. My sandwich arrived piled high with spinach and very little chicken and pesto. I like spinach but if you will be featuring that as a main ingredient than say so and don't call it a chicken pesto, call it spinach pesto or something. There were only a couple small pieces of chicken in my $14+ sandwich. Anyway it is ok but nothing that special. If you want a good panini at less cost and with more seating, head up the road to escogelato. read more

Very small delightful comfortable spot. The bestest grill cheese this side of heaven. Good strong iced tea and a little mouth watering oatmeal cookie (just out of the oven). The Carpenter family know how to give a customer a good lunch experience. I'll be baaaack read more

First time coming here and had a great experience. The owners are warm and friendly and the food was great. Don't forget to get a bag of mini cookies! read more

Tiny place! Friendly service, absolutely delicious food! Chicken Pesto was my favorite, but the Bacon avocado came in a close second!

Wonderful family eatery with an excellent selection of salads, panini and handcrafted drinks. My favorite is "The Works" breakfast sandwich. The bacon and avocado panini with a fresh-squeezed lemonade is a close second! They also have excellent desserts. Owners Bob and Kate provided bite-sized cookie favors for our wedding, which were a big hit among attendees. They are wonderful people who consistently serve good food! Go check out Sunny Side Kitchen! read more

I absolutely adore this place, the staff is super friendly and their food is extraordinary. Delicious coffee and sweet treats as well. this is a great location to stop in and work on the computer a bit while enjoying a coffee. I highly recommend the Works Panini. read more

Sunnyside helped us out with cookie party favors for our wedding and it was so so great! The cookies were awesome of course, but really we went to sunnyside originally for breakfast, and is was freaking awesome. We later had some panini and our minds were blown. These guys know how to cook delicious food. Long story short you should find some way to incorporate sunnyside into any event as their offerings are diverse and their talents are incredible. Love you guys and thanks so much! read more

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Before eating here I had no clue what a panini was. Now I wish I had known sooner. The food is delicious and the service great. Bob and Kate are always wonderful and I will continue to eat here as long as possible. read more

Super duper. Sitting at Kate's kitchen table eats my fabulous food. Just like when we were neighbors!

Wonderful food! Love the small quaint home style feel... just driving through on our way home and glad we found this place!

Amazing. From the tomato bisque soup,the tuna melt, the coffee and the peanut butter cookie. I'm so please. It's not often you walk away from a meal and everything is 5 stars. I appreciate mom and pop places like this. Keep it up!! read more

Probably the most delightful experience that I have had eating breakfast in a very long time. The food and drinks were incredible. This place is one of the best hidden gems in Escondido. read more

Ok...so I usually don't take the time to write reviews, but let me tell you... This place is definitely worth it. I just had their pesto panini with their homemade lemonade and I was so blown away with the flavors that I will come back in a heartbeat. I would give them an extra star for service if I could because they delivered my food even though I placed my order 2 minutes before closing. Thanks guys for this great experience. read more

Delicious panini and coffee in a cute unlikely spot.

I loved this little hole in the wall place. It was perfect. I was alone, eating my avocado, egg and cheese panini. As I sat outside at one of their outdoor tables, I watched as a family came and ate happily as they talked about their plans for the day, a couple of friends came in to catch up on old times and everyone had smiles and laughter was emanating from the building. I would and will recommend this wonderful mom and pop breakfast shop to everyone. read more

Stopped off at the Farmers Market in Escondido and had the most delicious sandwich of my life....

On my way home from Powey I looked up the best place to eat in Escondido. There are ALOT of reasons why Sunny Side is rated the #1 lunch spot in Escondido. As soon as you bite into your sandwich you know that your food was made with love. Its so tasty that you want the meal to never end. The owners make the food the way they want to. They run a kitchen that reminds me a lot of Nikki Giovanni's love poem "My house." Look it up if you want to see what I am talking about. I doubt you kind find better food or better service in Escondido. You will be thrilled you went out of your way to come here. And don't forget to get the cookies. They are sumptuous and divine. read more

The food is incredible. Try any of their paninis; they're all good. Their gluten free baked goods are among the best I've had in San Diego. And the customer service can't be beat. read more

Stopped in for lunch, good sandwich. A little on higher side for sandwich pricing, but I like supporting small businesses. I will be back! read more

Good food! The price is pretty reasonable. It's a small location so do expect that you'll most likely be eating at a sidewalk table with all the traffic noise in the background. read more

The epitome of an excellent, casual, local dining experience. A fantastic panini with a welcoming atmosphere. The fruit was perfect and the bread in the panini was divine. I can't image a better way to wake up in the morning. read more

Ended up here after going to another shop that moved. Glad I came by. Very accommodating and excellent food. Must be family owned. You can feel it when you walk in. I will return for sure. read more

Deserving of the 5 star rating it has. Excellent food, fast, very friendly service and very inexpensively priced. It will definitely be my go to breakfast place whenever I'm in the area. read more

Sunny Side Kitchen - Sandwiches Near Me - Escondido, California

This place is a bomb little family owned gem in Escondido with fantastic service and food. Fresh ingredients and a great menu.

Great food, Great service! Loved the Tuscan Chicken panini and the mini cookies are delicious.

I've been going to Sunny Side for about a year or so, and shamefully (or maybe not so shamefully) I admit that there was a week or two that had no lunch from anywhere else except Sunny Side. The food is fresh, amazing, I'm surprised that from the quality of the ingredients the food costs what it does, and the customer service is so amazing that I now consider the staff good friends. Also want to put in the plug that I liked Sunny Side before it became famous, but the fame is rightfully deserved. Only issue now is that there's so many people there on some days I have to wait a little bit longer for my food, but I still consider that time still well worth it. read more

Small little place but their food is awesome. I had an iced vanilla latte and it was delicious. People there are the sweetest people. I loved this place. read more

My boyfriend and I love this place. We don't often have mornings off together, but when we do, this is the spot we head to. The owners are beyond friendly, the decor is so cheerful, the Works breakfast panini is always so delicious, and all of the coffee drinks I've tried have been flavorful, well-made, and not so hot that I have to wait 20 minutes to take the first sip. Perfect. We also almost always indulge in a bag of 18 mini cookies to go. Yum. :) read more
