I love the food and the way the restaurant was set up. The portions are big me and my two friends were able to share all of our food and still had more leftover. Our server was extremely helpful and kind to us and even explained the menu to us after finding out it was our first time. 10/10 will be going back!!! read more

During a time-crunched Boston day, my girlfriends and I struggled to find a brunch place to eat in Boston the day of (lesson learned for us)!, but we were 1000% lucky that we got one of the last few morning spots at Sunnyside All Day Brunch Cafe on a Saturday! Walking in, it was ABSOLUTELY packed and super busy, but luckily with our reservation, we were seated within 10 minutes! I had been CRAVING Chicken and Waffles and BOY it did not disappoint! I was served with the most perfectly made waffle with butter that just fell into the crevices and melted along with the most PERFECTLY CRISPY CHICKEN! I was extremely hungry, so I absolutely devoured it, but it hands down had to have been one of the best Chicken and Waffle plates I've ever had. Although I didn't drink the Espresso Martinins, my friends that did drink it enjoyed it thoroughly. Despite how packed and busy they were, the service was FAST and our waiter was so sweet and attentive and the vibe was just so fun and lively! It was such a wonderful way to start our day in Boston and I 1000% would come back here if I could again! read more

I really wanted to like this brunch spot but I was beyond disappointed in service and variety. For starters we walked in with no reservations and were seated immediately on a Saturday around 12:30. That was nice. Food 6/10- hash was burnt but eggs and English muffin were good as well as the little mini hashbrowns . French toast was really good though . Now let's talk about the cons : 1- for those that cannot have whole milk in your coffee, prepare to drink hot tea or a cocktail because they only have a whole milk option which was beyond frustrating. 2- service was mehhhhh. More servers than tables yet it seemed as though they were rushing us out as they kept eyeing our table and the other couple behind us yet there were plenty of empty tables. Ambiance is dope , I loved the cool art and set up but I'd never return. read more

Stopped by for late Sunday brunch with the family. This place did not disappoint! My girls absolutely loved the hot chocolate, best in town! Strawberry cheesecake was the best I've ever had and I don't even have a sweet tooth. I absolutely loved this plate. So fluffy, not overly sweet. I'm a plain pancake type of girl and this did not disappoint! The hash browns here were outstanding, super crispy without overly cooked. My girls did not want to share. I had an expression martini because who does brunch without one? It was perfect. I had the spinach and tomato egg benefit and I loved their twist on the English muffin. - apple chicken sausage is a must have. My 5 year old did not share! - don't leave without the bacon, touch of maple and cooked to perfection. I find breakfast in Boston so underrated and this place was exactly what my family has been looking for! Bathrooms were super clean and the garage has free parking for up to 3hours. Take the family bowling at urban next door after! Sunnyside, we will be back!!! read more

I love the concept of an all-day brunch cafe and wish there was more of them in the medford/somerville area. I visited with a friend for my birthday and it was delightful. It was packed at 11:30 on a monday (memorial day), so we were sat in the back room. The ambiance was still great back there but service took forever, probably 25+ minutes just for someone to come to our table. Our server was an angel and so apologetic for the wait. It was definitely not his fault because it seemed he was the only server for the whole place, so just a staffing issue. He comped something for us to make up for it and it was so appreciated it. We started with pomegranate mimosas and the french toast sticks which were both so yummy and both a great size. I love the idea of brunch appetizers! I had the smoked salmon benedict as my main. I loved the hashbrown circles and the taste was great but I was expecting poached eggs like a traditional benedict. Still enjoyed it nonetheless and will definitely be back next time I'm in the mood for a boozy brunch. read more

Mimosa flight was good. Grapefruit tart, pomegranate dry but sweet enough, and orange juice classic with a bit of pulp but not too much to make it unpleasant. Got the build your own omelette with bacon, mozzarella, and onion. It was tasty but basic which is fine. Didn't wow me. My hash browns were cold on my original plate and cold again when I asked for fresh ones so didn't like that. We also got French toast sticks which was the best thing I ate from here. Thick with good sauces to pair with. Our waitress took off the sticks to compensate for two orders of cold hash browns, which was nice of her. My fiancé got the monte cristo sandwich which was just okay. With the syrup and jam it was better but on its own needs improvement. The hash browns were like Dunkin donut's so he didn't eat many. Wouldn't go back. read more

What an interesting dining experience. We had a 930 am reservation and were seated promptly. Water was brought to the table. Reviewed the menu and I must say, was disappointed by the limited options. Make the very best of the experience. Order for baked potato hash. It was five or six large tator tots with cold congealed cheese on top. Not really edible. And my friend did not want me to send it back but that would have been the correct choice. Within literally minutes our entrees came. She had the red velvet pancakes and I the egg white omelet with english muffins. The pancakes were delicious and portions huge. My omelet was good but not special. What was curious was the english muffins that came pre buttered and no jams or jellies. They were good but no condiments. When I asked the server points to a container of Smucker jams, like you would get at Ihop. Also the food came to the table warm but not hot. The vibe in the place is great for kids. Last the service was spotty at best. In the end I had to flag down the server for a check. So food was very uneven and service could have been much better. read more

Food: 11/10, no complaints. My egg white omelette was delicious, and so was the caramel banana French toast. Omg and the hot chocolate is to die for. Service: This is where I was kind of annoyed. The lady taking our order misunderstood us a few times. I told her if there isn't a decaf latte then I didn't want one, and she still brought me one. Then my friend asked for a to go box for me, and she didn't get the memo. She also kept trying to come back to get us to pay, when one of us went to the bathroom. Also they get really packed on the weekends and unfortunately we were asked to leave (my friends and I were just enjoying each other's company, but yes we are slow people lol). I understood that the other party needed to be seated though. Ambiance: Super cute, very clean. Lots of natural sunlight and plenty of seating. read more

Me and my fiancé were looking for a brunch restaurant and found Sunnyside. We were able to get a table without much of a wait. I love the painting on the way. I had to take a photo of the artwork. I ordered a Cranberry juice, the Western Omelette with Potato Hash Browns and no toast. If only you could substitute the toast for a Pancake even if it's a up-charge, that would have been great. I wish a meat option came with this order. I ended up ordering a Pancake and additional side of Bacon. Everything was really good. Only issue I had was I basically had to order 2 meals to create 1 meal which makes it pricey. read more

Arrived Saturday around 11. Parked in garage for free (less than 2 hours is free). Had to sit at the bar (no reservation). Large seating area. Family friendly but make a rez. Staff were friendly and attentive. Ordered classic French toast and my daughter ordered birthday cake pancakes. Quite possibly the best French toast I've had in years. That is my new go to place for breakfast. Can't wait to go back. read more

We had made reservations and that went very well for us as some people in our party arrived before and were allowed to get a table. I was a little disappointed with their coffee and juice selection, there wasn't much variety. The service was kind of slow and we had to ask the server for refills on coffee, it wasn't offered, not sure if that's their policy though. The food was really good and everyone enjoyed their meals. We ordered several of their Farmer's Breakfasts and the portions were enormous. The ambiance reminds me of a similar vibe to another all day Brunch restaurant. It is spacious with decorations all around that don't have a set "mood/tone". I personally would not come back just because of the lack of variety, in my opinion, but it was great for a first try. read more

My sister took me to Sunnyside All Day Brunch Café in Boston for an early birthday brunch, and I was excited to try it as I'd heard from a few other girls that it was really good! They have outdoor seating, but since it was already pretty warm out (and I sweat ), we chose to sit inside. The place is super cute and decorative, with fun touches like a table full of games and a Rubik's cube inspired wall design. I started with a hot coffee, and the menu had a ton of options. I don't usually go for pancakes, so I was happy to see French toast and waffles on the menu too. I went back and forth between the cookie dough French toast and the chicken & waffles, even though I wasn't totally sold on the maple barbecue syrup it came with. Still, I took the risk and ordered it! We also got the Million Dollar Bacon appetizer because it looked cool when other people would order it. It ended up being one of my favorite things. Sweet, crispy, and just really delicious. My sister ordered the Cookie Dough French Toast, which looked amazing and it tasted amazing (she let me try it). We both got mimosa flights which contained four different flavors, but honestly, they all kind of tasted the same since the champagne overpowered the mixers, not necessarily a bad thing, just something to know. My chicken was crispy, juicy, and tender so so so good! As I guessed, the maple BBQ syrup combo wasn't my favorite, and since it's already poured on the plate, it was hard to avoid. But I still ate most of it and enjoyed it overall. Our server Carlos was super attentive, and we never felt rushed, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. I was treated to a sweet cotton candy ice cream dessert with a candle for my birthday. It was so sweet and appreciated! Definitely a great brunch spot, I'd come back to try something new next time! read more

Breakfast at Sunnyside was easy to plan from afar. We were coming to Boston from Maine and needed a place to eat before heading to Harvard. The location was easy to navigate- hardly any traffic, had FREE garage parking (what?!) and offered reservations. It honestly didn't feel like we were in the midst of the city! My son enjoyed his cookie dough waffle and I thought the caramel banana french toast was delicious. My daughter didn't like the chicken and waffles as much as she had hoped. The bbq sauce from the chicken is also drizzled over the waffle and that just made for a weird flavor profile. It would have been better to have syrup from the waffle on the chicken, if one condiment was to be chosen. The ovewhelming hot chocolate was loaded with a nice thick layer of fluff. It stayed hot for so long that he was unable to drink it with his meal so we actually took it with us in a disposable cup. Service was fast and friendly. Games were available to keep the kids busy. The location was clean. I would say that the prices were a bit inflated considering the baseline cost to make a pancake/waffle/frenchtoast. It cost me $78 (before tip) for the three of us and I only had water to drink. Overall, we had a nice visit and everything worked out perfectly for timing and location. read more

The ONLY quibble I had is that this location is a bit hard to get to if you're in tourist mode - so we added a $50 roundtrip Uber to/from Seaport. Bar that, we absolutely loved Sunnyside. The pumpkin waffle was a knockout and the French toast was exquisite, avoiding the "too eggy" pitfall of many subpar toasts. They were fully/appropriately staffed for Sunday morning rush, so everything was seamless. I couldn't convince my son to commit to the legendary hot cocoa, so we'll be back with another effort. read more

Didn't have a reservation, but was immediately sat at the bar. Really cool environment. Staff was extremely nice, especially the bartender. He gave us French toast sticks and shots of espresso martinis on the house! Everyone was happy with their meal. I got the western omelette which was delicious. My favorite was the mini hash browns it came with! I definitely recommend coming here for brunch and drinks. read more

Made last-min impromptu breakfast plans before my mom's flight. We needed a quick spot close enough to the airport with easy parking. I came across Sunnyside and it looked like a cute spot that met our requirements. It's about 10 mins from the airport and has a parking garage (free for 0-3 hours). It's located at Hood Park which seemed like a nice little park area. The restaurant itself was super cute and had a fun vibe. They have indoor and outdoor seating - the outdoor area is covered and has turf grass, high tops and regular tables, and string lights. We opted to sit outside since it was a nice day and not too hot. They serve breakfast and lunch and have a decent spread - lot of unique sweet treats. We opted for a Benedict and Blueberry Belgian Waffle and side of the maple chicken sausage. Both were excellent! The service was good and we were able to get in and out within the hour. Given we did have time restraints, I did make a reservation (maybe an hour or two before) but we would have likely been seated quickly anyways as it was not packed when we arrived. Would definitely consider coming back here when in the area and need a good brunch spot! read more

This restaurant was absolutely horrible. The pancakes were soggy. The cheese in the grilled cheese was not melted and the tomato soup was ice cold so you could tell they meant to microwave it and forgot. When we got there people were sitting inside but the door was locked. After eating there everyone in our party got sick. read more

10's across the board! The best pancakes any of us have ever had. We tried so many things on the menu over our 4 day in a row visits. Classic pancakes, fruity pebble pancakes, red velvet, banana French toast, omelette, fruit bowl, kids meal! I have a peanut tree nut allergy. I was nervous but when I didn't see anything labeled with nuts on the menu I asked our server would it be safe to have French toast, she spoke with her manager and chef and the manager came to tell me while they were unsure about any cross contamination with French toast they knew pancakes would be safe for me. My allergy order arrived separate from the group meals and they came to the table specifying nut allergy no cross contamination. Made me so comfortable, enough so to eat them 4 days in a row. Beyond grateful. Thank you guys! It's completely child friendly, with toys, coloring supplies and fidget items to keep kids enjoying their experience. Indoor and outdoor seating. A cute, sweet staff. Overall a great vibe. Free parking in garage above restaurant, be prepared to take stairs both ways! While the weekdays were easy to get a table, we arrived on weekend to an 1.5 hour wait because of brunch but was able to get in after speaking to the manager after our frequent visits to be squeezed in sooner. So make reservations for the weekend! read more

Pretty decent place. Cute ambiance (gorgeous weather so that helped) outdoor seating under solid cover (if weather not so good) bright colors. The breakfast. Yah, the omelet was good. Tasty, well presented. The potatoes (more like tater tots) were fine. The English muffins was actually pretty good too. Only question was didn't bring the English muffin with butter, is that a weird Boston thing (do we not eat butter up here anymore?). So, I had to ask for it, then it came pretty solid so had to sit on muffin for few minutes to soften up. But, I acknowledge that as a first world problem. Also another Boston thing (it appears) only offer Splenda (no Equal or Sweet&Low). But again, I'll live just fine! The Service was good. The server was attentive and quick to return with my important (to me ) asks. I give the place 4 out of 5 due to price. Obviously if the price was a little lower, I'm sure it would be packed. Just walked up and sat immediately on a Saturday morning with great weather outside. True, it is in a little out of the way industrial-ish area. And I know Boston is pricey. But $30 total for (just me incl tip) for omelette and coffee. I guess I remember pre-pandemic times too often. But, overall, a decent place, worth a stop in for good breakfast, don't worry about leaving $ for those looking to inherit your empire read more

Sunnyside Café is a casual brunch restaurant serving all day breakfast fare and lunch fare too. They offer a fun casual dining atmosphere with booths & tables and bar seating. They serve up specialty pancakes, Belgian waffles, French toasts, egg plates, omelettes, benedicts, avocado toasts, fruit plates, lox plate, parfaits, million dollar bacon, monte cristos, burgers, chicken n waffles, reubens, grilled cheese sandwiches, plus a kids menu. The pricing is moderate. For drinks, they offer coffee/espresso drinks, tea, hot chocolate, root beer float, beer, wine, jumbo bloody marys, mimosa flights, and cocktails. For dessert, they offer kitchen sink sundaes, which is enough dessert for 2-4 people, served in a replica kitchen sink. After hearing great things about Sunnyside, I decided to head down here, but ordered online takeout on the way since I had an appointment to go to. I ordered a Spanish Omelette ($18 plus tax) served with hash browns & toast (I got multi-grain). I arrived here 15 minutes later and briefly parked out front, ran inside, my bagged order was all set to go. I enjoyed my impromptu breakfast in my ride. The Spanish Omelette was prepared fluffy & folded filled with chorizo, Oaxaca cheese, & jalapenos, mild salsa on the side. The side of golden hash brown circles were crispy & a bit greasy. The slices of multigrain toast were buttered. The food was tasty and very good. I take a glance around the quiet restaurant (close to closing time) and I will definitely come back for sitdown brunch. read more

The food was pretty good -- I had the caramel latte and the farmer's breakfast. My wife ordered the red velvet pancakes, and my brother-in-law got the French toast. The only issue was that part of my order was forgotten. I mentioned it several times to both the waitress and the server, and each time they reassured me it was on the way. After the third check-in, the kitchen finally sent it out -- but by then, I had already finished eating. I was ready to leave a 3-star review, but the server went above and beyond to make it right. She spoke with the manager, who removed the missing item from the bill and even comped my coffee. I really appreciated the extra effort -- it shows that this place truly values customer experience, and that deserves recognition! read more

Parking (5/5) - If you're driving to Sunnyside, there is a lot in the same building that is free for the first three hours (a big win, especially in Boston). If you decide to take public transportation, it's about a 0.6-mile walk (10-15 min walk) from the Community College stop on the Orange line. Reservations/Wait Time (4.8/5.0) - There are options to make a reservation, which is recommended if you plan to dine during the "brunch rush," especially on weekends. We arrived on a Sunday morning around 11:15 AM and were told that there was a 20-25 minute wait. We ended up grabbing some seats at the bar, which was first-come, first-served with no wait. If you're looking to sit at a table and don't want to wait, then a reservation is recommended. Ambience (5/5) - definitely a cool spot for brunch. From the "fun" menu to just the great vibe, it was a great spot to enjoy brunch with your partner or with friends. Service (3.8/5) - with sitting at the bar, you still get access to the full menu; however, you are at the mercy of the bartender based on how busy things are, as they are making drinks for the entire restaurant. Unfortunately, in our case, there was one person behind the bar, and although he was hustling the entire time we were there, service was pretty slow, and we waited quite a bit. No knock on the guy as he did his best; however, we waited quite a bit for menus, putting in our order, and even a cup of coffee. In all fairness to the bartender, they should've got him some help to handle the brunch rush. Fortunately, we weren't in a rush, so we managed to be patient, which he acknowledged even when we asked for our check. He did eventually get some help, but even when we asked for something as simple as salt and hot sauce, the individual helping deferred back to the bartender to help us, which resulted in a longer wait for us. Food (4.8/5) - Portion control is certainly not a thing at Sunnyside, which I'm totally ok with! We started with coffee, which was hot and fantastic diner-style type coffee. We ordered blueberry pancakes, the mixed berry French toast, and a few sides (eggs and bacon). All items were great! The pancakes came in an order of 3 and were massive, as were the French toast with 3 pieces and fresh fruit all over them. We finished our meal with a mimosa flight, which came quickly and included orange, grapefruit, and pomegranate mimosas. The food came out quickly, hot, and had great flavor. Price (5/5) - for the amount of food you get, and what you pay for, I would say it was reasonable. Our bill total was about $75 and that is inclusive of an 18% tip. Overall Rating - 4.73 out of 5. The one thing that dragged this score lower was the service. The longer waiting period while sitting at the bar was a bit disappointing, but the food and portions made up for it. I would definitely recommend Sunnyside if you're looking for some great brunch. read more

When I first checked in with the hostess, she mentioned they were cleaning off a table and would seat us shortly. We had a reservation, but that's not unusual, so I didn't think much of it. After waiting a few minutes, I noticed a group who arrived after us was seated right away. When the hostess saw me again, she looked surprised, likely realizing she had forgotten to seat us. Instead of acknowledging the mistake, she simply repeated that it would be a few more minutes, so my group continued to wait. It definitely wasn't the start I had hoped for with our brunch experience, but once we were seated, the food and drinks were great, and the service from that point on was decent. The decor inside is really nice too. read more

Came here for brunch and left seriously disappointed. About 90% of the food tasted like it was reheated frozen food -- the kind you could easily make at home, not something you expect to pay restaurant prices for. On top of that, our drinks never came. After waiting, I had to ask who I assume was the manager. While she was trying to fix it, I saw our waiter give her attitude and, from what I could tell, claim we never ordered the drinks. Thankfully, the drinks were taken off the bill, but the whole interaction was uncomfortable and unprofessional. For how expensive this place is, the food was extremely mediocre at best. The only thing that was actually decent were the pancakes -- and unfortunately, that was it. Definitely not worth the price or the hype. read more

Everything was good - service, ambiance and especially the food. You get 3 hours free parking too!

Excellent sugar rush! Hot chocolate comes with a lot of marshmallow fluff - make sure to bring your sweet tooth

cozy atmosphere; kind of seemed like a disney hotel restaurant. food was fine. service was pretty good.

Solid 4 stars because the staff was so kind. Would've been 5 but food was a bit mid due to portion size. Food was a good 4 -, due to smaller portions. Pancakes 5, hash browns, 5, & Sea salt caramel latte, 5. Parking is in the garage, and it ended up being free! Ate the Classic Benedict, Hawaiian bread was a good touch but it didn't have any ham which is something a traditional Benedict usually has. But the pancakes were awesome!! Has a little crispy edge and they were thick and fluffy with delicious whipped butter. Dad's American breakfast didn't have all 4 bacon pieces (only 3) and since my Benedict lacked some meat, we felt a need to order an extra portion of bacon. The hash brown bites saved the food rating from being a 3.5 and brought it up to a 4 because the hash browns were so yummy. read more

Service was slow- had to ask for more coffee, waters. Food was mediocre- a lot of frozen product pre made breakfast items. Seems like they are trying to cater more towards little kids breakfast.

This breakfast joint is located only 10 minutes from the airport and was just what we were looking for! I wish I would have known about this place when we initially flew in to Boston and were starved - don't make the same mistake - eat here before or after your flight ;) The service was great, attentive server, helpful host, the manager even held the doors open for us while we wheeled out our luggage which they kindly allowed us to store to the side of our table. There is an indoor eating section and an outdoor patio, both decorated warmly & beautifully with lights, paintings, and various seasonal decor. We ordered the classic breakfast, breakfast sandwich, French toast, and a bagel (to go). All were great and the price was right. Totally reccomend :) read more
