Love this place for our weekend date brunch! The owners take great pride in their restaurant and the focaccia bacon eggs Benedict are delightful. Great variety of mimosas and awesome bloody Mary's. The staff is incredible as well! read more

We had a delicious breakfast here! I really wanted to try the Benedict but couldn't have the yeast raised bread due to allergy. I asked if it were possible to substitute a biscuit instead of the regular bread and they were very accommodating! Our server even double checked that the biscuit would meet my dietary need (no yeast.) I really appreciated that. My PCH Benedict was delicious- I can only imagine how much better it is in the proper bread. The salmon, the capers, the dill- THE HOLLANDAISE! All wonderful. Hubby had the chicken fried steak- I didn't sample but he says it was great! I like home fries- so I was very happy. Hubby prefers hashbrowns so he was happy but wished hashbrowns were an option. We will definitely come back. Food and service were both solid. read more

Ok I just expected more. I ordered the Butcher block omelette it came with home fries [deep fried square potatoes] not home fries and one slice of bread. It was just not enough for 11.99. Huge let down. I judge quality and quantity if both are not there it is not worth paying 11.99 I have gotten more at Waffle House half the price. read more

Our breakfast was amazing and service was excellent. Definitely will put this on the list.

1st time here, met up with some friends. They raved about the food. I ordered whole wheat toast w avocado and an egg. It was ok. They have a juice bar, I'll have to try next time. They also serve liquor.. service was a little slow, but they only had 2 servers on, so its understandable. I'll be back. read more

Really really really good good. Cute location. Parking isn't always easy to find. Expect a pretty long wait on weekends. Highly recommend the fresh squeezed juices and the chicken fried steak and any of the Benedict's. Downside: the food often doesn't come the same way every time you order it. It seems to change each time. read more

I was super early to a meeting so I stopped here for breakfast. Such a good place - freshly squeezed orange juice and the eggs were done just right, not greasy. The coffee was strong and they even had a non-dairy milk - hence the child's sippy cup. Very friendly staff. Fantastic way to start the day! read more

Hours didn't match - went to go breakfast to find out it was closed. Checked the times on the door and it was supposed to be open.

Best breakfast in Mesa! This place has awesome food and a great atmosphere! Our server was fabulous and we love that the owners of the restaurant stand for everybody's freedom! Great Americans! read more

Awesome breakfast lounge with great service and great good! I started my brunch with a mimosa, made with fresh squeezed orange juice. A traditional drink made perfectly the orange juice to champagne ratio was up to par. For my meal I order the garden omelette. The omelette was the perfect size for me, very filling! I loved all the vegetables to name a few it had kale, mushrooms, asparagus and spinach. My favorite part of my brunch was drink I ordered with my meal, the Moscow mule recommended by the chef himself! I was more than pleased with Chef Gabriel's recommendation it was so crisp, refreshing with a hint of lime. The Moscow mule is my new favorite drink! If your in Mesa, AZ I recommend you check it out! read more

This place is not forever burned into my memory as exceptional dining. However, the food was hot and fairly good. The menu was diverse with a good variety of most typical breakfast staples. I would give the food 3 1/2 stars as it was better than just edible, however, the food was not memorable. Nor is this a spot I would likely suggest to someone in the area. The bar menu showed some creative drinks but I was there with co-workers in the middle of my work day, so I didn't sample any drinks. Ultimately the food is decent but over-priced for what it is, standard breakfast fare with no twist or exceptional execution. However on the day of our visit, mid-week, it was extremely slow with few guests but it took a painfully long time to order and receive our food. I am willing to chalk up the visit as possibly a fluke and may in the future will give them a try in the future. read more

Sunnyside Breakfast Lounge has clearly gotten past the opening jitters and have stepped up their game. I stopped in for lunch today and was quickly greeted by Elena. She offered booth or table, then asked about drinks. Good start! After my iced tea arrived, I ordered the Red Mountain Burger, which came with some nicely seasoned fries. The burger was a bit over cooked but still very juicy, served on a pretzel bun. I scarfed it all down. Elena checked in on me just the right amount to assure all was well, without being pushy. Executive Chef Garfio also checked with the tables, which was a great touch. If Yelp allowed individual ratings like Trip Advisor does, I would give them: 5 overall; 4 for food (-1 for over cooked); 5 for service and 5 for quality and 5 for value. Good job Sunnyside! read more

We were in the area and saw a few breakfast spots via yelp. We decided on this amazing location. Sunnyside absolutely impressed us. The staff was really friendly and the music was on point. And not to loud. We had the country fried steak meal and the French toast meal. With a large glass of freshly squeezed orange juice and a cup of coffee. The place was really busy but we were seated within a few mins. The waiter was very attentive and offered great suggestions. The food was delivered to our table quickly and tasted absolutely fantastic. I ate every last bite and I even had a few bites of the French toast. This location deserves a 5 star review. If we are ever on that side of town again we will definitely come to this spot. All and all I absolutely recommend trying this spot. You won't regret the decision. read more

Great food and service. The bloody Mary's were ok .. Not $7 bucks worthy! The kids meal was perfect portion and prepared with the same effort as the adult meals. We both enjoyed the sornoran crepes which were absolutely wonderful. Rich. Flavorful. Different. I used the Yelp Deal! $12 for $20! read more

Second time here, checked in with the host for dine in, got in the list for a 15 min wait and received text for confirmation. 25 min later we check in with the host to see what's going on and tells us they sent us a notification that our table was ready; no text received or called out our name outside. They sat us down next to our waiter's station and she didn't acknowledge or talk to us for another 10 min and there were empty tables around us so not like they were extremely busy or understaffed. Waiter finally asks us what we were having, we asked for waters and coffee and ordered our food. Brings us our coffee but no water until we got her attention and asked for water again. Then jokingly tells us "no", like now is not the time to joke around when the customer has to remind you to bring water in Arizona. If youre willing to wait, and put up with bad service, the food came out great. read more

What a great menu! Our first time here and will be back. Good food and price was decent.

This is the best breakfast place I've been to in the south west!!! The service was immediate and courteous. The food was AMAZING and prices very reasonable. I'm surprised the place wasn't overrun! I will be returning very soon!!! This crepe was light and fresh fruity rather than a sugar dump mmmmm! read more

Well we decided to give this place another shot. It has been 6 months and we are back. So far it hasn't been great; we have been here for over 30 mins & have not received our food. It's not that busy and it's sooooo slow. I'll get back to this review once our food arrives. Ok so we got our food & I'm not impressed. My hollandaise was cold. I asked for warm sauce, it was still COLD. Yeah that did not make me happy. My hubby's Philly Benedict had hardly any meat (check photo) & my plain Jane Benedict was just OK. We gave this place 2 chances and it failed both times. I'd rather go to village inn then eat at this place. read more

It's an expensive version of Cracker Barrel. It's simple carb loaded food that you could easily cook at home for cheaper and better. Save your money. I got up charged for something that was not marked as extra on the menu, and should've been included. I never come here for that reason. Save your money, save your time and just go to McDonald's if you want breakfast food that urgently. read more

Food is amateur for a breakfast place. Not bad! Just mediocre. Very, very over priced. It is $4 for one cup of coffee and $3 for a side of toast. Had breakfast for two people with coffee and the bill turned out to be $40!!! I think that is ridiculous for the amateur food we got. read more

This review will probably hurt me more than the owner simply because I had really HIGH hopes and my experience was LOW! Continue reading for in depth review of Sunnyside Breakfast Lounge. First and foremost, it's simple and the taste is simple too. It's more of a hipster hip type spot with a ambiance to match the Sunnyside name.. Art, great flowers and a pretty chatty loud environment. It's a great spot to meet up for a simple meal, but a big meal on the menu I would recommend you pass it up. The prices just do match the quality of food, I've went to cafes and diners with better tasting food and I just can't seem to understand why our check was I believe $55 They're "signature" potatoes are just frozen cut potatoes, I can tell because it was obvious. Wasn't steamy hot, fresh or homemade cut. They lack even salt... SALT? And these are your "signature potatoes? I think not! That's a disappointment! The service here is great, and the owner even brought out food to my table. I ordered a drink, and it was unfortunately lacking liquor and consisted of ice an sour flavor. I also got a bloody mary, and it was was basic as the name Mary(sorry Mary's), extremely mediocre and lacked ethnicity. (sigh) I honestly can not recommend this place and I don't know why it's always pack. It's just not good breakfast food, it's a hype spot. Be careful with hype restaurants, you and I both know how that goes. They are subpar. Check out my collections for GREAT breakfast spots I ganruntee you will find something better in my collections. read more

Highly recommend this little breakfast eatery. The Lox and cream open face bagel was delicious. The fish tasted as if a plaid adorned mountain man came across a babbling brook and witnessed an adult grizzly bear who had just caught a beautiful sockeye salmon. As the salmon glistened in the late morning sun the man emboldened by a ravenous urge then wrestled the bear for the freshly caught fish. With a smile of success he hastily took his prize to this tranquil breakfast nook where it was masterly filleted and placed upon a bed of toasted bagel with with capers adorning the top. Still tasting like the river in which it was caught, this fish dish has changed my life. Thank you. read more

This is the 4th or 5th time I've been here. Never had a bad experience or bad service. Servers are always helpful and very nice. (especially when you can't decide what you want to eat) We love the banana Nutella pancake but the crepe comes in a close second. (Which we share) Today I tried the chimi supreme. It was HUGE!! Very flavorful and so good! The chimi sauce was a little too spicy for me so I did push most of it off to the side (made my lips tingle). Sunnyside has never disappointed us. Good food, good service and we love coming back. read more

Great spot, super popular. I'm a breakfast snob, so a 5 star might be appropriate for most. I however have a bar set so high it's rare for a place to hit it. Negative feedback is minimal; It's either rosemary or sage, but there is just to darn much of it in their biscuits and gravy. Highlights; Home fries are amazing! Get ready for a wait on most days, but I would say it's worth it! I also saw some bloody Mary's leaving the bar and they looked legit, so party hard and plan on a recovery breakfast to beat most! read more

Great place for a Saturday morning meal with family and friends. Service is great and friendly crew.

Whoever makes the Bloody Marys is the real MVP. A group of friends and I rented an Air B&B for the weekend and joked about renting that person for the party, lol. Aside from day drinking, I guess the food was good too. ;) I would recommend checking them out. The place is small so be prepared to wait a bit before being seated. read more

We got there at 8am on Saturday morning with no wait. The service was good and got food and beverages at an acceptable speed. I did 3/5 stars since everything is overpriced. Drip coffee was $3.50, most items are $10-$12. The crab cake Benedict had a hollandaise sauce that seemed more greasy than creamy, crab cake was bready and crab salad was Krab salad. Couldn't taste the crab at all in the dish and prefer an English muffin over focaccia bread for eggs Benedict. The poached egg was good, and you can change your home fries for fruit with no charge. I couldn't imagine waiting to be seated for this place but food was good, place was clean, and they did a good job with service. read more

Blast at both Yelp and Sunnyside. I've used Nowait to make reservations for years, but this was the first time that I was forceably redirected to use Yelp to make reservations since Yelp bought Nowait. My wife and I drove 10 miles to find out that Sunnyside does not honor any reservations on weekends and since it was an hour wait we left. I got on my phone and was able to use Nowait to make reservations at another place that did honor Nowait. Strange, was not foreably redirected to Yelp. Obviously, with long wait, place must be good. Maybe we will try again (obviously on a weekday). read more

Today was my wife and I's first try and we were nit disappointed. From the time we arrived, and left we were not disappointed. The wife had the Belgian Waffle with strawberries, and I had the Chile Verte omelet with wheat toast. The waffle was huge with a generous amount of strawberries and whipped cream. She reported the waffle was fantastic. My omelet was delicious and was stuffed with an array of goodies and topped with green chile sauce. In addition, our server was top notch and offered refills on drinks frequently. Would highly recommend to anyone living or visiting to give it a try. read more

Incredible restaurant everything is delicious. I had the stuffed Sonoran crepe last visit omg it is mind-blowing..

We headed to Sunnyside for a Girls' Breakfast Out and had a great time. Our waiter was incredibly attentive and funny. He had a warmness about him that was very inviting and approachable; I really appreciated that! He seemed like he was really hustling for us. Anyways, one of my friends got a smoothie which she seemed to love. They make them with agave nectar, if I'm not mistaken, which is awesome. Makes you feel a little better than them using straight sugar. My other friend and I both has the Denver omelette. While we both enjoyed it, I'd say it was only a little bit better than IHOP quality. But still pretty good! The potatoes were unfortunately a little dry, but still edible. We used the Yelp deal where we got $20 for $12. I believe this added great value to our meal and definitely bumped up the star count. My impression of the restaurant is a good one. I think they're still finding their voice, but the roots they have, like fresh squeezed juice, using agave nectar and infusing local cuisine. I'll definitely have to revisit them in the next couple of months and try something new. read more
