I was checking local places to eat some breakfast and I found sunny side kitchen .really good place I felt like I was at home every one knew each other lovely scenery read more

This is a quaint little cafe with their specialty being paninis. I had their meatloaf panini a few months ago which was really yummy and this time we shared the breakfast club and the green chili crustless quiche...both were solid. The cookies we got with our yelp check in probably rank in the top 5 cookies I have ever had. Just delish! Overall this place is great for what it is I just wish they had a few more alternative food options. read more

This place is the best, best BLT and grilled cheese ever had in my life, very nice local people doing things right making their food with love and it really shows. Amazing gluten-free options including bomb quiche... read more

I was showing my boyfriend around San Diego and we stopped by this place for breakfast one day. The paninis were so damn good that we came back the very next day and had the exact same dishes again! All the staff members are super friendly, and the cafe itself feels quaint and cozy. A cute place with the best paninis I've ever had (seriously)!!! read more

First time eating at this cafe and I'm in love. It was a great experience from beginning to end. The service was super friendly and gracious, their menu has a ton of options for every taste bud and the food was absolutely delicious. The lunch was so fresh and light and tasty. I love this cafe and highly recommend it. I will definitely be back!! read more

My husband read an article in the newspaper about this place being in the top 100 breakfast joints in the nation according to Yelp reviews (number 51 to be specific). We were both excited to try out a new place near our house that had gotten such great reviews. My first impression was slightly chaotic. Seemed like they had never owned a food business before, and that can be ok... I've had some awesome food from first time mom and pop shops before. We were greeted nicely by a young man... as we approached the cash register to order is where it all went down hill for me. The man behind the counter wasn't great to deal with... first, he fiddled around with a plate of muffins for about a minute before he even looked at us; it seemed very odd and a bit rude. I saw that they offered "pour over coffee" and I asked for a slow pour coffee....after a short and what seemed argumentative conversation on what that meant I quickly cancelled my coffee order and went on to order our food. We ordered the Avocado, Egg, and Cheese breakfast panini and the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese breakfast panini. My husband did end up ordering the "pour over coffee"..... took forever to get and it wasn't very good. I think they must only have 1 panini press because it took about 15/20 minutes and what we got was a half of a sandwich and an incredibly tiny sample cup of fruit. Yes, the bread is good but the eggs were severely over-cooked and not much avocado for the price.... it was crazy.... since we ordered the breakfast panini we were expecting a whole sandwich, but we unfortunately got a half a sandwich each- they should specify that on the menu board. I'm not saying we were looking for a huge meal but that really was ridiculous. I wish I would have taken a picture and included it. I won't go here again! read more

So good and super friendly! I would definitely recommend eating here. Make sure to get deserts as soon as you order food because they run out quick and then you'll be upset you didn't get them sooner. read more

Sunny Side Kitchen - Sandwiches Near Me - Escondido, California

On point. Clean, simple, delicious food with pride and veggie and vegan options as well!!!!! Which I appreciated greatly.

Lovely food, small cozy ambiance, great service and coloring. What else could you ask for? Go check it out if you're around!

Light fare, good paninis, great kombucha and excellent and friendly service. I've only been once and would love to return again. But not for breakfast this time. I'll review more once I've been there again. read more

Love coming here for breakfast and lunch. The food and drinks are great (I'm especially partial to the paninis), and I love the atmosphere! I work just down the street and often stop here for breakfast on the way to work or meeting people for lunch. So glad you guys are here, keep it up Bob and Kate (and team) :) read more

The owners are some of the most friendly and hard working people I know. They make sure the food is served FRESH and delicious. The paninis are delish and big enough to share. Tried the quiche today... yum yum yum! You must try the vivacious lemonade or the coconut limeade. It's the BOMB! read more

Best breakfast/lunch in Escondido! Tiny and cute little hidden gem. The service is top notch and the staff friendly. The food is always fresh and on point. They bake fresh cookies that are to DIE for every morning. Paninis are always warm and crisp. I also really enjoy their grilled cheese sandwiches. Because of the size of the shop seating is limited so dining and dashing works well. Five stars and a must try! read more

Super yummy quaint little spot. A few tables to eat outside when weather is good. I have been here 3 times so far. Food selections have been delicious read more

Excellent breakfast panini! My wife and I split "The Works" panini, very tasty and satisfying. Good brewed coffee also.

Good Panini! I love the breakfast ones and the little cookies are a nice treat! Bread is fantastic and customer service is prompt and friendly! read more

I enjoy this spot for quality pour over coffee and small fresh made muffin or cookie. Plus the owners are super nice.

Very cute place! Met a friend here on a Friday for breakfast, we each ordered coffee and The Works (avo, bacon, cheese & egg). Prices are reasonable and the panini was delicious! The coffee is fresh which I love! Definitely recommend & will return, most likely for lunch. They do accept debit card & street parking is readily available & easy to find! read more

It shouldn't take 30 minutes to make a panini when the place is half empty. No apology neither.

I love the food at Sunny Side Kitchen! Their gluten free options are amazing and delicious! Bob and Kate are very nice and take such good care in preparing wonderful meals! They even make gluten free muffins! Each time I go there I get breakfast and pick up dinner for later! read more

Absolutely loved this place! Great menu and awesome owners/employees. Viva was so sweet! This place is teeeeeeny tiny so go in small groups or get it to go! Fresh ingredients and home cooking are what this place offers and I hope they continue to flourish as a business. Can't wait to go back! 2/20/2018: still as good as the first time! AMAZING staff - so friendly and happy to answer questions on the menu. They know their regulars by name....hmm maybe I'll start coming back so I'll be recognized ;) Now that I live in Escondido I'm going to make this a regular place. And they have FAST WiFi. Thank God. read more

I'm not sure how this place has such high ratings. Their menu has very few options and the prices are pretty steep considering what you get. It's over five dollars for a half of a panini and a very small serving of fruit, which may be filling for a small child but barely put a dent in my morning hunger. read more

Hey Bob and Kate... Bob I read about your espresso-oatmeal, thanks for making it for me yesterday. It was better than I thought it would be; espresso-oatmeal for me now that's like a "thing" thx dandmkb read more

Such a gem that's become a favorite for my family and I. We've enjoyed everything that we've tried here and the paninis are top notch. The staff and owners are incredibly welcoming too and we're happy to support this local business. If we lived closer I'd be here all the time but it's becoming a tradition to stop by every time we take the kiddos to the nearby kids museum. read more

This place is amazing! This is a family run operation. You can tell that all of the food is cooked with tremendous love. It feels like you are in a bed and breakfast with familiar faces and healthy food options that taste great. Can't go wrong ordering anything. Organic coffee here. Kids and teens love it! Your body will thank you. :) read more

It was good, I feel like it is slightly over hyped but nonetheless good! I had a coffee and a panini the food was a 4.5 the customer service 4.5 and the ambiance 3.5 food choses was on the slim side also. If your looking for a quick bite before work or a quick sandwiche for lunch than I recommend it. read more

This place is a gem!!the owners are super friendly and helpful...the bacon and avocado panini was DELICIOUS!! The orzo salad was such a treat, so fresh and bright. Home made clam chowder was amazing. Highly recommend this place!! read more

This is one of my favorite breakfast places in the north county. The food is always on point and the owners are literally 2 of the best people around. I cannot recommend it highly enough! read more

While the well-known made-to-order Crepes may get immediate patron attention at most Farmers Markets, Sunny Side Kitchen is making it apparent that made-to-order Gourmet Panini Sandwiches are in fact the up-and-coming "must-have" offering at Weekly Farmers Markets, street fairs, and special events. Billed as "Gourmet Grilled-Cheese Sandwiches," that description just doesn't do the menu offerings or the proprietors of this local-small-business justice! They offer a truly diverse list of house-recipes (my favorite is the Tuscan Chicken) but none are sealed in stone. Add extras, or leave off parts to take their amazing artisan recipes as a starting point and make them all your own (vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free selections can at times be special prepared when the ingredients are available). These culinary artists, usually Bob and/or Kate themselves, prepare your one-and-only personal Gourmet Panini for you while you wait. Often if they do not have too much a a backlog of customers waiting for orders (they usually do), they will personally bring your order to you where you are waiting at a nearby seating area, when offered at the venue. Though I go on-and-on about the amazing made-by-hand paninis (deservedly so), I'd be remiss in not acknowledging where Sunny Side Kitchen started - hand-baking a wonderful selection of mini-cookies and other baked treats (including gluten free items). All this offered in an elegant and finely detailed market-stall setting that rivals a brick-and-mortar small bistro. Find Sunny Side Kitchen every week at the Escondido Farmers Market on Tuesdays, and at the North San Diego Farmers Market on Sundays (both located in their hometown of Escondido) and regularly at special events hosted by the many area breweries. They also frequently participate in bakery and confection events, and can cater your own party or event. I'd give them 6-stars if I could. Awesome example of pride in their business, quality of product, and old fashioned commitment to to the satisfaction of their clientele. read more

Amazing, gluten free options. Deliciousness. Well done! Pricing is great and the coffee TO DIE FOR! Family owned and operated, support the little guys! read more

This place is awesome! Their paninis are to die for - the ingredients are so fresh! And the customer service was excellent. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. It's also super kid friendly (our three year old loved the grilled cheese). The only negative is the seating is limited, so you might have to take it to go. We'll definitely go back! read more

Amazing meatloaf and fantastic clam chowder. The coffee was great and the service was super friendly

Once again, yelp reviews led me to a wonderful little find! Had the egg, cheese, avocado panini with Irish Cream tea! Yummy!! Loved the Irish Cream tea, very nice! The staff was helpful & friendly! The price was perfect! Not a lot of seating, but adequate. Turn around time after ordering was very good! I'm excited to try more of their menu items. Will be back with my friends! read more

Delicious sandwiches, tasty homemade soups, great coffee and excellent cookies. Can't beat Sunny Side for lunch. The service is quick, friendly and always personable. Favorites include the panini and mini cookies. So good. read more

Don't pass up a chance to eat the fresh food here that is lovingly prepared. We had high expectations and they were exceeded. The paninis are the best. read more

This is a great place you can't beat one dollar sign and 5 star rating. They also have a gluten-free option for bread which I took advantage of. I had the same sandwich that my husband had, that makes me so happy. I'd recommend this place it's good for kids it's has outdoor seating and it is a good price. read more

Delicious! Ther gluten free bread option is great! Cute cafe and staff was very friendly. Plus free wifi!

Hey everyone! It's true! The food and the team there are awesome! And the coffee is really good! I had the delicious avocado, egg and cheese panini and a caramel latte. I'll be back soon for their Tuna melt! Clean and cozy with a friendly neighborhood charm. I enjoyed Sunny Side Kitchen! read more

We are from the Bay Area and needed to eat breakfast prior to our Safari Zoo visit. We found this spot on yelp and the 5 stars caught my eye. Quick, easy, straight to the point breakfast spot. Love the cute quaint homey feel... feels so authentic and the food is so delish! Worth every single star! Eat here, trust me you won't regret it!!!! Thanks again yelp! Job well done! read more

I've always been extremely satisfied with the delicious meals, and the excellent service, at Sunny Side. Their soups are fresh and flavorful, their paninis are perfectly crunchy, and their salad are crisp and well balanced. As others have mentioned, the portions are more in line with what we should be eating - if you want a massive breakfast, you might prefer somewhere else. But if you want fresh food made with love, you've found it. Five stars because they have many gluten-free options, and their almond milk chai is heavenly. read more
