Very cute and delicious sourdough panini/ salad/ quiche shop. We had lunch there, everything is prepared fresh so we had to wait about 8-10 minutes, which was fine. The home made strawberry lemonade was really good too. Very kind and attentive team. Place kept pretty busy though there was always a place to sit and eat. We went with children and they loved the sourdough panini and lemonade read more

Came in a few times with my mom to this place. We usually wake up early and go to the gym so food is usually the next thing on our mind. Whenever we have come here we want to come again. The service is great, the people working here are so nice and know me and my mom by name. I suggest the works breakfast sandwich, one of the best things i have ever had the chance to eat in my life. I highly suggest coming to this local breakfast spot! read more

The sandwiches are so flavorful & super filling! Pesto is a personal favorite but for all their sandwiches, this place adds an interesting touch by toasting seasoned buttery crust onto each face of bread. The orzo pasta salad is a cute but refreshing relief to the palate to balance hot sandwiches with a cold side. They offered a chai latte that is great-- but I wish they could adopt a matcha option. Highly recommend stopping in for a nice lunch! read more

The food was absolutely delicious! We came here with my family for a good breakfast and it did not disappoint. The staff was awesome, helpful and very friendly. The restaurant is small, but cozy and left room for some good conversation. There's additional seating outside though for larger parties. Definitely would come back again if we are in town! read more

Flavorful sandwiches in a casual atmosphere with the bulk of the seating outdoors at small patio tables. Because the indoor space is limited, it was very convenient that patrons have the option to order from the tables outside. I wouldn't recommend this for a large gathering but I did see a gal walk out with two large bags of food so ordering for carry out would be the way to go. Daily soup choices rotate and are listed on their website. I think the price point is a little bit high, even with the high-quality ingredients in comparison to other similar establishments within walking distance. I settled on the first sandwich option, half of a Tuscan chicken sandwich which was well prepared and arrived hot and crispy. It was tasty! A small side salad in a container that would fit a cup of soup with six dollars. And it didn't have anything special in it. The table next to us picked up a small container of small cookies which looked delicious but they didn't offer me any so can't tell you how they were, but I do think that those two guys polished them off! The little side container of orzo was under seasoned, and I would suggest that they use dill pickle spears, like Clausen, instead of the rubbery fluorescent ones that they currently serve. read more

Sunny Side is an adorable hole in the wall with friendly service and delicious food. The cozy atmosphere unfortunately means there is not much for seating, so this wouldn't be great for a big group or family. It's ideal for a peaceful cafe lunch, though. The food is absolutely excellent - perfectly grilled sourdough, fresh ingredients, and reasonable prices. An Escondido gem! read more

Came here inspired by yelps top 100 this year and went for both recommended order: toscana chicken and meatloaf. The meatloaf was good, the toscana chicken was a bit boring. What we've found the best was the pesto! So next time I'll order pesto and meatloaf and definitely eat there instead of take away as it will missed its crunchiness. I normally would give this a solid 4-5 star rating but given the size and price I personally found it overpriced. read more

Food was really good. In my opinion it's a little on the pricier side but with everything going up, I understand why my meal was almost 20 dollars for just one sandwich. The shop is quite small so you gotta squeeze ur way around some places. Service was good, good amount of wait time before I got my sandwich. read more

So glad to have such a great spot for breakfast and lunch just minutes away. One of the only places that makes it the way I'd do it at home for myself. Cozy cafe feel, seating inside and out. Definitely not a corporate, mass-produced vibe. Service is always friendly. Food is always yummy. Did I mention that this is one of the best spots to eat, not just in San Diego County, but the entire country?! read more

I bought an 808 sandwich that was delicious, but about $20 for the sandwich alone. The restaurant is very small and cozy inside, very cute, and lots of options to eat inside, outside, or take it to go. All the employees were really nice! I'll definitely be back. read more

My hubby found this cute small place. We went to try their breakfast. Grab a menu and go up to the counter to order and they will bring the food and drinks to your table. We had whole The Works and half Bacon, egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches. What's unique about the sandwiches is the Parmesan crisp on the surface of the sourdough bread. The Works is more moist due to the avocado and the other sandwich is a bit dry. Get The Works! Americano and Latte were good. Not too strong or bitter. Just right. The mini chocolate chips were sweet, crispy on the outside and moist inside. Service was amazing. You can tell they take pride in making the sandwiches and serving their customers. Overall a very nice little place for a relaxing breakfast. read more

Food; excellent Service; outstanding Ambiance; just a small place, not fancy but cute. Seems like a place where locals frequent which is what we like. More restaurants could take a lesson from this establishment. read more

Totally loved the cozy, down-to-earth vibe here. I grabbed a breakfast panini and a latte, and both hit the spot wothout trying too hard. Sooo good!! read more

The friendly staff greets us warmly everytime we come. The menu is simple - paninis, soup, salad. I like that they offer the option to do half a panini too! And while simple, the food is still delicious and comforting. I do think that over the years it's declined a bit but it's still a great place to grab a simple lunch or breakfast. The interior is small and cozy but they also offer outside seating. read more

Sunny Side Kitchen - Sandwiches Near Me - Escondido, California

It was my first time here with my mom, and it is the kind of place that you just might not even stop and try! If you were on vacation, you would yelp them, and then go right in! It is home cooking and delicious! They have vast awards for food, and a breakfast sandwich that is called "the works" that is an award winner! I ordered it and personally, I could've used a side of Cholula, or something to spice it up! It was just kind of blah. I'm not sure what separates a great breakfast sandwich and a good one, but this was just OK! I cannot believe they get $18 for a full-size Panini sandwich with a very tiny side of fruit! For $18, I could go to a golf course or someplace by the beach! But all in all, I would not hesitate to go back here again if my older mom wanted to. The older man taking our order was very friendly indeed! I did my Yelp check in and got a free lemonade, which was delicious! We did a sample of their soup of the day which was black bean chipotle and it was good, but I am just not a fan of beans. My mom ordered the vegetarian Panini which she enjoyed immensely. read more

Really good breakfast sandwiches. We got The Works and the Wake Up Escondido. I think my only criticism would be the way they do the eggs. They are pretty well done with the yolk a little chalky. So I'd probably ask if they can do it over medium or even scrambled. The Wake Up was the better sandwich between the 2. We also got iced chai and it was really good. There aren't a lot of places you can get a good chai latte, so that was a really nice surprise. We will be back, for sure read more

Love the customer service - super friendly and felt homie. It has those feels where you would want to come back to see an old friend for some comfort breakfast food. The panini that came with the yelp event experience was great - they melted cheese on the crusts and it gave the sandwich a nice crunch! I absolutely loved the ripeness of the avocado which gave the sandwich its sweet taste. read more

This place doesn't do it for me as much as it does it for others and I'm sad about it. Salads, drinks, and soups are really nice but those aren't the kind of offerings I'd go out of my way for personally. It's the cutest spot with the absolute nicest people, both owners and staff. It's totally got a family vibe and I just want to want to be there. It seems they're really involved in the community and do a lot of good locally. Sandwiches, which are the real bread and butter (see what I did there?) of the place, totally underwhelm for me. Experience with the lauded breakfast sando is it's got 2 eggs cooked in round molds so the shape of the egg and the shape of the sandwich mean the egg-to-bread ratio is always way out of balance on a per-bite basis (either too much egg or none), small portion of super thin bacon that comes off like the La Croix of bacon on this massive sando, avocado-a-plenty but brown and mushy, fruit side not featuring in-season fruit so it's kind of underripe and flavorless. I gotta side with folks who find this an underwhelming sando with a too-hefty price given everything. The bread is exceptional but really gets overshadowed by the cheese and seasoning (pesto?) it's layered with, and it makes all the paninis dominated by the taste and texture of Italian seasoning and grease. I really gotta give them their due, because they clearly have a good thing here, but acknowledge that it's not for me and be honest for anyone who has strong sandwich opinions like mine. read more

This morning, a friend and I had brunch here. We ordered the classic oatmeal with raisins, craisins, walnuts and brown sugar and shared the avocado, egg and cheese panini. It was so delicious!! The best brunch I've had anywhere for a while. It's no wonder they have numerous favorable reviews on Yelp and an overall 4.8 rating. They've also been recognized by several organizations for outstanding fare and service! The staff were delightful and so gracious and kind. They didn't rush us out after we'd finished our food even though we sat and chatted for a couple of hours. The space was small and quaint but had ample seating for how small it was. We will definitely be back!! 5 stars all around!! read more

Pricey but worth every penny. Genuinely sweet family business and the works sandwich is absolutely fantastic. Cannot recommend enough

I decided to stop in because the Escondido Library gave me gift certificate for being part of the summer reading program . The place is very cozy so I can see how ordering for pick up is ideal. One customer came in to pick up a large order of breakfast sandwiches for a bridal party. I ordered the most popular sandwich and it was great. I love the buttery outside of the sandwich it was seasoned perfectly. The sandwiches are a sizable portion and I could see why they ask you if you want a half or a whole. I think I would have been fine with a half but I'm glad I got a whole because the flavors were mouthwatering. The coffee was great too, I got an Americano. I thought I read they had pour-over coffee but I didn't see any and the espresso was fine. The place is situated nicely in downtown Escondido and its worth dropping in. I think i will keep this place in mind when I'm having a work from home day. read more

Sunny Side Kitchen - The works - Sandwiches Near Me - Escondido, California

This sandwich shop popped up on my list and it had over a thousand reviews and still holds 5 stars, of course I HAD to try it. The shop itself is very small but is very cute! They had a few seats outside and inside. When I walked in, I was immediately greeted in. The person who helped me was Bob and he was so nice and helpful since it was my first time. I ended up ordering their number one seller, the works. Just a note, I believe most of their sandwiches can be ordered as a full sandwich or half of it, I opted for the half! I also checked in to redeem a free 20 oz lemonade, which was delicious by the way. You can clearly see that everything is made fresh and the product is really good! I do think it is a bit overpriced for sandwiches but to be honest, I can overlook it. read more

Went in for a post workout high protein meal and was quite disappointed. The pictures panini they on the wall looked thick and juicy so I figured I can't go wrong with that. The panini I order looked nothing like it. I got a few pieces of shredded chewy flavorless boiled chicken For a $20 panini at least grill the chicken and put some seasoning in it. What a rip off. I'll never again give this business my money. read more

Sooooo cute!! The place inside looks homey, comfortable and quaint. I got a full sandwich and latte. The people were super friendly and made sure I got what I needed.

The (small) latte was incredible. I get a whole milk latte and their espresso beans was flavorful. The breakfast sandwich is what they're know for and I totally get it!! Perfectly crisp, grilled, a little spice and best amount of cheese! How did I not know about this place??? I live so close. HIGHLY recommend!! Ahhhhh read more

What a find!! Delicious breakfast sandwiches and pumpkin loaf!! Will definitely be back to try lunch!!

Stopped in for breakfast. Was really looking for some eggs and potatoes kind of breakfast and if that's what you want this isn't the place for you. Oatmeal, quiche and breakfast sandwiches are what's on the menu here as well as a variety of coffees. Orange juice is freshly squeezed per order The place is tiny. Seats about 10 inside but there are tables outside, front and back, to accommodate larger groups. I ordered the mushroom quiche. It was served with a small side if fresh fruit. They quiche is heated in an actual oven so I was told upfront the wait would be about 20 minutes. I grabbed the local paper, played games in my iPhone and waited. It was well worth the wait. The quiche was delicious. I can't remember when, if ever, I've had better. The fruit was all ripe and strawberries were sweet. I brought my own coffee so I didn't have the opportunity to sample theirs. I'll be back, next time for lunch. Paninis are their specialty and I look forward to trying them. If they are half as good as my quiche, I'm in for a treat. read more
