The best breakfast, ever? No, but worthy of a solid four-star review for the following reasons; excellent, friendly & fast service on a busy Sunday morning for a party of eight, which included two three year-olds (thanks Krista), relaxing inside or comfortable patio seating (outside for us on this unseasonably cool late May morning), fair prices, breakfast/brunch cocktail menu (not typical outside New Orleans), unique breakfast/brunch menu options with a southwest flare (Sonoran crepes for me) and gluten-free offerings, just in case. Oh, the Yelp 20% discount with "check-in", doesn't hurt either! Had the biscuits and gravy (just so-so) been as good as the crepes, breakfast chimi, gluten-free waffle or eggs Benedict, I would have been obligated to award the coveted full five-stars. Bottom-line, SBL is a great breakfast/brunch option in the far East Valley! read more

The chicken fried steak two of the guys had that were with me and they said too much bread and not enough meat. The hash browns were frozen unfortunately. I had the PCH Benedict, it had salmon it was not edible. I eat salmon every kind of way all the time and I could not eat it. The coffee was A+ and the waitress. read more

We drove a little ways from Tempe to check out this breakfast place because we had a coupon and saw all the great reviews. I am glad we came because it was well worth the drive! We were sat immediately and greeted promptly by our server. The kitchen got our food out very quickly and everything was delicious! I had the butcher's omelet and she had the plane Jane with avocado. Our server was friendly and quick to get us anything we asked for. Overall really good (and filling) food and good service I would definitely recommend this place to friends and will be back in the future. read more

We have been wanting to try this restaurant for awhile now. We had to drop my bike off down the road apiece and had time to kill so we went in for some breakfast! We were seated right away in a comfy booth. Our waiter Tad ( who was fabulous by the way) was attentive, informative and an all around nice guy! My husband loves corned beef hash so Tad made a suggestion and we went with that! This is the real deal, not like the Hormel from the can. Fresh diced corned beef with potatoes mixed in. Quite delish and you could almost make a meal out of this side alone. My husband had the Sunnyside trio with the corned beef as a side and he was quite happy with his choice. The potatoes are real and not at all greasy. I wish I could make mine like that! I on the other hand am braver and like to take risks. So I had the Sonoran crepes and it was an excellent choice. Light as a feather crepes with scrambled eggs, peppers, nopalitos and nice and cheesy. Just the right amount too! Topped with some spicy pico di'gallo! It had just enough kick to tease the pallet and not overwhelming. Coffee was good and hot and refills were quick. I have nothing bad to say about Sunnyside. In fact, as I was looking at YELP for reviews we got 20% off our bill for checking into the place. Would I go here again you ask? Yes I would! I want to try everything on the menu. The picture I'm attaching is of the Sonoran crepes. Sorry for the bite marks, but it looked so good I forgot to take a good picture before I dug in! read more

Great restaurant with solid staff. They've never messed up my order and are very attentive! I only wish there was more seating.

Our favorite place for breakfast or brunch. Try their fresh juices, I like the carrot. Great Benedict's as well. Always a great experience.

First time here and it was very good so will definitely be back. The hubby and me took his mom and we all enjoyed our meals. Coffee was good and never went empty. I love corned beef hash and that is my go-to meal to test how good a breakfast place is and this place passed. Real corned beef with perfectly poached eggs and a little hollandaise sauce and potatoes abd a lit of it, had to get some of it to go! So good. No cans involved like chains use. The waiter even offered to get coffees to go. I fid not even think to ask. That is good service. I did like that they had the flavored creamers too. Not near our house but next time at mom's and going for breakfast we will be there to try something new. read more

Winter not that long ago and had a pretty good experience. Their biscuits and gravy ate definitely on point. The food always comes very quickly. The service isn't bad but they definitely seem to always be shortstaffed on waitresses and waiters. You always see them darn near running from table to table to keep up. The only downside was the two kids pancake breakfast. We ordered them with chocolate chips. And although my kids love chocolate these things were solid chocolate. Neither of my kids eat them. And this was the second consecutive time. I figured the first was an anomaly but I guess maybe shame on me for not saying be careful with the chocolate chips. Will definitely go back. read more

This is my go to breakfast place! Excellent service with delicious food. The coffee is yummy! There is a very wide selection of food with small portions available. They also have healthy smoothies to satisfy your thirst. I always walk out happy! Side note... they have military discount read more

I had the salsa verde omelette, it came with home fries and toast. Even after splitting with my wife it was more than enough to fill me up and tasted great. My wife had the chimi supreme which was excellent and also a generous portion. Our server was Tad, who was great. read more

I had an excellent experience eating at Sunnyside while my bike got fixed. The service was impeccable, from the host, to the chef who delivered the food, and my excellent server. The chorizo eggs Benedict, served on homemade focacia bread, was absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for breakfast in Mesa. read more

This is a great independent breakfast/lunch spot in East Mesa. I was in the area with some friends and we decided to try it. It is very popular as we waited for a while and there were still people lined up when we left at 1:00PM. (They are open from 7AM-2PM daily) To drink I had the Georgia peach iced tea. Light peach flavor black tea, unsweetened. It was nice and refreshing. To eat I had the PCH Benedict. Basically a salmon Benedict with capers, dill, poached eggs and hollandaise. I would order it again, absolutely delicious! From looking around at what other people were ordering, I want to go back soon! Everything looked amazing! So many things I want to try! They also have nice drink menu with mimosas, bloody Mary's, etc. If you are out in the East valley and looking for a great breakfast spot, be sure to try Sunnyside! Enjoy! read more

Previous in-restaurant dining no problem. To go orders forget it. Several times had order issues and the last the lady whom I assume was the manager actually argued with me about what I had ordered. The best part was when her employee proved her wrong in front of me. Can't get a to go order correct to save their life dont waste your time! And just FYI you say I was reimbursed for the inconvenience - didn't happen! Good luck to you maybe get some customer service training .... Give them the Pickle! read more

Great food, atmosphere is nice. Service is great and food comes out fresh and in just the right amount of time. Prices are pretty reasonable although juices are a bit too expensive. The $1 pancakes are absolutely delicious! 2 medium size pancakes are served, but you have to order a drink to be able to get this deal. Since the juices are expensive, my husband ordered a cup of coffee which is reasonably priced. Definitely recommended, definitely coming back and bringing family here next time! I'm feeling super good after this great breakfast here, yum read more

What a great place to eat and drink. We got the Bloody Mary and mimosa they both were delicious. My husband is picky about his Bloody Mary and he said it was one of the best ones he's ever had. We ordered the chicken fried steak and supreme chimichanga which were fantastic! Our boys got the kids pancake meal and they devoured it. Our waiter was named Luis he did a wonderful job making sure we had everything that we needed. We will definitely be back. Thank you! read more

The service we have had each time we go here is great! The special juices we've tried were mostly good. The food is fairly good too. The prices for the juice are too high but the rest seem reasonable. I'm giving it 4 starts because although I've liked my good my eggs were a bit over cooked and my husband did not like his bagel at all. Also, they shouldn't call something a chimi if it doesn't come fried for the original price, that is called a burrito! read more

Guys if you are looking for a sign to go get breakfast, take this as your sign. The food at Sunnyside is amazing, and so is the coffee. The staff is super friendly. Amazing food, amazing coffee, and amazing vibes. Next time I will have to give the French toast a try, but I had to get the eggs and bacon again because it was just too good last time! Please try this place out, you will NOT REGRET IT!!! read more

Love Sunnyside, the staff is fun and professional, always clean and the food is filling, hot and good. Recommend this place all the time.

Great service and good food at good prices. Nice to see old school breakfast houses that are a win such as this one!!!

Best place for breakfast or lunch. Been here many times before and always loved the food and service, but today was special. We walked up to the door and saw a sign saying Masks not required. Good for the owner. It was so refreshing to be able to be served without a mask and we actually could see the waitresses face. Every patriot in Mesa needs to support this restaurant. Their food is great as well. THANK YOU SUNNYSIDE for making us feel normal again! Larr B read more

Great brunch! It's in a fun location close to Usery Mountain in a great place to fuel up after a hike!

Decided to give it a try & we were not disappointed. Great food & great service. I loved the variety of drinks. Them adding the lounge part to the place was smart. They have something for everyone. Fresh juiced drinks with kale, ginger, apples etc. or you can have an alcoholic beverage. They offer delicious Bloody Mary's, mimosas, and beer on tap. The food was outstanding. I got the Philly Benedict. Tasty! My boyfriend ordered Chicken Fried Steak. The gravy was made from scratch. You can tell they pay attention to every detail when it comes to their food. Quality is what keeps the place packed with customers. The staff was friendly and made us feel welcomed. We will be coming back for sure. read more

Food is really good, proportions are more than adequate. Service is a little slow, to be expected as the World opens back up. Bagel, pancakes, French toast all great. Really a little something for everyone, fruit to chicken fried steak. Healthy to just packing on the carbs for a hike or outdoor activities. read more

Found this gem when we were in between soccer games at Red Mountain. My kids and I found it to be great, and we are super picky about breakfast. You can tell the staff from the Mitch to the front take pride in what they do. It seemed most everything was made from scratch, which is awesome!! If you live in Mesa check them out!! read more

Overpriced for what you get. Seriously, if you demand higher quality ingredients/food and service this place is not for you. I don't mind paying more for awesome service and food, but this place severely missed the mark. Server acted irritated to be serving us. I was deceived by pictures and thought the food would be fresh. The "home fries" are like frozen potato squares that they deep fry and then put no seasoning on. All the 5 star reviews leads me to believe we came on an "off day", but we won't be going back. read more

Went there for breakfast and ordered Biscuits and Gravy. It was horrible, the biscuits were microwave and had freezer burn and the gravy was watered down and had liquid smoke added to it which made it so gross I couldn't eat half of it. To be fair, the juice was very good, but for the high cost they charge, my family and I won't be giving it another try. read more

I love the sausage gravy they have so I decided to stop in for a dish I was making at home. The price was $3.08 which was fine until I was brought a cup that you would put ranch in. I mentioned how small the amount was for the price, the hostess proceeded to see if he could get me another cup which was commendable. When the hostess apparently attempted to get more, I heard the cook yell to the point I could hear it at the front counter "I ALREADY GAVE YOU A SIDE OF GRAVY". I'm not sure if this size was the only option since I wasn't given another choice. The action of the cook is enough for me to never set foot in here again. More options for sides like gravy would be nice , no need to yell at the hostess who was just trying to help. Just because you don't deal directly with the customers doesn't mean your actions won't affect the establishment as a whole. read more
