I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a breakfast or lunch place in the area. They are still a bit new, but they are working out the kinks. I have a couple orders go wrong, but it is always quickly fixed. Drinks: Their iced tea choices are great and my friends have tried the smoothies which also get high remarks. Food: I really like their sandwiches and often get whatever is on the special board. My friend loves their chicken sandwich. I think they are on their way to creating the restaurant that they set out to. I would like to see a 'build your own omelette' that would allow me to have my omelette my way. Keep up the good work! read more

Good place. Staff were friendly, albeit a little quirky. Our server seemed pretty proud of his work, which was cool. Portions were good. Food was really tasty, although I would like to see a gluten free menu here. They fresh-squeeze their juice, which tastes awesome, but it is pretty pricey at $4.50 for 16 oz. They have nice thick bacon, cooked perfectly. I would've gotten a smoothie but the menu said they are ice-blended and that just waters things down unnecessarily when they could just freeze the fruit. I suppose I could've asked but I didn't. Fruit smoothies should never have ice, in my opinion. Overall, prices are good. We used their yelp deal to save a few bucks too. Speed of service was perfect. Place was clean and had clean menus. That's a plus because who wants to go to a breakfast place and touch sticky syrupy menus? If they get a certified gluten free menu I'll change it to 5 stars. read more

So. I really like the chorizo bennie. It may be my regular there moving forward. And this went well with my peach mojito. I've also tried the corned beef hash -also good. Renee is a great server - attentive and thorough. read more

I'm absolutely perplexed by this restaurant. Why is it always crowded? I've now visited twice for brunch and both times left disappointed. My family and I ordered the chilaquiles, chile verde omelette, kids pancakes, and kids french toast. First, the chilaquiles were bland, the only flavor coming from some chorizo I added (and paid extra for). No avocado, no fresh cilantro, no salsa. Chilaquiles should be spicy, bright, crunchy, and savory in my opinion. The chile verde omelette was similarly boring and the accompanying breakfast potatoes were inconsistently cooked. Both the kids pancakes and french toast were burnt and cold. We also asked for extra crispy bacon and it arrived extra wiggly instead. My husband and I left thinking, "Why do the good people of NE Mesa tolerate this subpar food?" Answer: there are no local alternatives. So sad. read more

Although the food was fine and server was nice, the service was terrible. We began ordering our drinks, a smoothie, Arnold Palmer, and water. The request for water was ignored, iced tea was brought over instead of an Arnold Palmer, and the smoothie was no where in sight. We ordered our food. The server came back with the correct beverage, and still no smoothie, apparently because another person took the smoothie. We were assured the smoothie would come out soon. Our food arrived soon after, and as I prepared my Peach Cobbler Pancakes, the other member of the party realized they brought the wrong Eggs Benedict, so we flagged down the person that brought the food, had them get the correct order and reminded them of the smoothie. We finally received our entire order, and ate! Overall, the food was nothing special. The potatoes were under seasoned, poached eggs were not poached as specified, and the Hollandaise sauce was barely visible, but the steak and cheese were good. The peaches were not ripe enough to cut through, the pancakes were somewhat undercooked, and there was a piece of plastic in the food. The other member of the party mentioned they had been there before, and though the food was good, the service still had kinks to work out. I wouldn't recommend this place until they are more established, and focus more on service and food preparation rather than eye catching esthetics. read more

As a 15+ year resident of Las Sendas I've seen breakfast places come and go from the NE corner of Power and McDowell. And I could never understand why they couldn't last in an affluent area of Mesa with literally no competition. Then Sunnyside came and I realized what others had been lacking - mimosas and bloody mary's served alongside decent breakfast comfort food. My husband and toddler have enjoyed Sunnyside since they've opened - until today. I even overlooked the one time they forgot about us for over 40 minutes because they were understaffed. This morning though once the bill came and I handed the server our card she spent over 10 minutes and 3 credit card terminals trying to force our card through. The card wasn't declining, their system was down. The server instead blamed our type of card as a reason for the fault and then asked me to go to the CVS to get payment. I come from the customer service industry, I have made a career supporting and serving others and the golden rule in the service industry is 'the client is always right' especially in an instance where the client actually was in the right! Rather than blame my card the waitress should have said her system was down and asked if I could return with another form of payment. Thanks Sunnyside for making me realize driving the extra few miles to Gilbert is worth it for better service. read more

Excellent food and great service! We love taking our dog and sitting on the patio. We have never gotten anything we didn't love. The Benedicts are amazing. There can be a wait, so try to beat the rush or go a bit after the normal breakfast rush if possible. read more

This place is too busy for their own good. The dining space feels cramped with too many tables in the available area. The wait staff is lost and we had to ask for silverware twice. For 35.00 we got the Denver omelette, corned beef and hash (its out of a can and costs 10.00!), and a kids meal short stack. While they tout that they make make their own sausage and chorizo in house, the menu doesn't offer much focus on these ingredients. Honestly, drive a few more miles and go to Crackers. You'll be much happier. read more

Third time is a charm? In this case, yes! I've eaten breakfast here twice before and both times left feeling like I spent a lot of money for nothing special. The first time I had one of the Benedicts and it was a soggy, coagulated mess of bland flavors. I'm not a fan of the bread they use at all, either. The second time, I don't even remember what I had but both myself and my son left disappointed. Sunnyside is SO very close to my house that I decided just ONE more time I'd check it out. I'm hungry, lazy, and need fat girl comfort food, okay? Don't judge. I ordered the Savory crepes without jalapenos or the nopales. Still a bit spicy, but not over the top. So flavorful and rich. The crepes give it a very slight sweetness and the chorizo blends perfectly with the hollandaise. For $11.50+ a tip, I had an incredible breakfast and am stuffed. I'm going to leave it at a 3 star A Ok instead of the 1 star I had intended, just because of this dish. I' definitely go back and have it again. Now please excuse me while I do a #fatgirlhappydance. read more

Food: Excellent! Customer Service: Non Existent. I ordered over the phone for a pick up order, the girl was very short with me. I let it slide thinking maybe they were busy... Wrong answer. When I walked in there was one table with customers. I wasn't greeted at all. She just automatically started to grab a menu. I told her I was here for pick up and with a huff she put the menu down and grabbed a bag. Went to get the food, came back, told me my total. I handed her cash, she snatched it from my hand and started counting my change. She all but threw it back at me. So I kept my tip. Which sucks because the cooks deserve it but who even knows if they would get it and she did not deserve it. Not a thank you have a nice day just a nasty look on her face. I said thank you, with NO response. Even though the food was so good and my order was correct, I don't think I'll be back for the lack of friendliness. It's really sad that people are so miserable in their lives and in their jobs that they take it out on a paying customer who they didn't even have to actually serve and wait on. Thank you for the amazing food but you need to have a little pep talk with the ones who are the face of your business. read more

I have been here several times with my girlfriend. Food and service has been decent...a bit on the pricey side. Wanted to go here for my birthday breakfast, and we stopped by starbucks to get coffee first. Walked in and the hostess looked at us strange like we did something wrong when we wanted a table for two. She told us we were not allowed to bring in our Starbucks coffee. We have brought coffee in before with no problems. Were not going to throw away $10 of coffee. Told the hostess we would just go somewhere else. You lost our business for good. read more

Had the PCH Benedict which was extremely flavorful. The eggs were poached perfectly and the combination of smoked salmon with capers was a perfect accompaniment. My criticism of the dish is the home fries. I believe that the dish would be far more flavorful if the diced chunk potatoes weren't fried, but rather sautéed or grilled. They were too dry as prepared. Service was attentive and flavorful. Will definitely go back to try other menu items. read more

Sunnyside Breakfast Lounge - PCH Benedict with home fries. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I was excited to try this new breakfast spot. When we entered there were many empty tables but a strange host told us that we would need to wait 20 to 30 minutes. Then several servers kept telling him that they had open tables and we were finally seated by a server. The menu was limited. I like omelets but none of the combos appealed to me and there was no make your own option. I choose pancakes with a side of bacon. My husband picked an egg combo. The pancakes were really dense, just horrible. The bacon was delicious. My husband did not like his food either. Potatoes were bland. Disappointing, I would skip this place. read more

Great food and cocktails!! We enjoyed lox and bagels and an omelette on the patio after a beautiful hike of the wind Caves. We had great service and a tasty bloody mary! read more

Amazing food, very tentative to their customers. It's a trendy spot to enjoy delicious breakfast

This place sucks. Waited ten minutes then we were seated. We sat at a booth that had condensation dripping in three spots on to the table and myself. We had to requst a table change so the water won't get in my food. The service and good was so slowwwww !!!!! It took us about one hour plus to get in and out. I had high hopes that this place will be good. But I am disappointed. read more

Decent food. The service is friendly. However, when I went in with my boyfriend who is black, he was starred at by other customers. It was obvious and uncomfortable! He was the only block person there. The clientele that day was a lot of older white couples. read more

I always get the eggs benedict. It's the best in the valley. I've had this breakfast in many other restaurants but none are as good as this one. The servers are always nice and police. One server in particular named Renee is particularly nice and always greets me with a smile. This is my favorite restaurant in all of Phoenix and surrounding areas. read more

The food is above average here and normally doesn't take long to be served.The prices are very fair and they have great drink specials we really enjoy this place. read more

Our group of ten to twelve normally have no problem making a reservation! This venue does NOT reserve their separate room for a group! Several calls were made to no avail; we were delayed in being seated this morning until the front desk could gain approval from management for use of the room! All of us enjoyed our breakfast selections! Pleasant peach bellini was available! Our server was personable at first and then became increasingly snippy! Jamie's errors were of her own doing! Also, when politely asked (after all orders were delivered) to photograph our group she said "not now, later".... "later" never arrived! When in the service industry, customer service should be exemplary; otherwise, a patron's only recourse is to be reflective with the gratuity! read more

Love coming here. Luis is the most attentive server we have seen in years. Love the food love the atmosphere

It's actually really good but some what expensive. Service is great. Drinks are unbelievable

Loved the place and their spin on local comfort food. Can't beat a great brunch with a great drink menu

I always enjoy going to Sunnyside breakfast. The food is excellent and the customer service is excellent as well. It's great to sit out on the patio and just enjoy Arizona outdoors. read more

Hilary was our waitress and she is amazing. She took our orders and was quick with refills and keeping our table well attended..

I had the PCH eggs benedict and it was out of this world! They use the freshest ingredients and seasonal fruit. I also ordered a miss peachy juice drink and a side of grilled chicken. Both were unbelievable and left me feeling full and healthy. This is the most AMAZING breakfast spot I have ever been too. The service was also outstanding and quick. I would drive from north scottsdale just to come eat here again. Highly recommended! read more

We went here for brunch. Everything was amazing. I had the Sonoran crepes and a bloody mary. I asked them to make it spicy. This is the best bloody Mary I have had. The crepes were soo good I finished every last bite. Reasonable prices also. Our total bill was around $30 not including tip. That included 1 entree, alcohol beverage and 2 kids meals. I will be going back in the near future. read more

Wife and I ate here this morning. Was a Sunday around 11 am so we expected a bit of a wait. After around 10 minutes we were seated. It was very loud from both customers and kitchen noise. We ordered and I went to wash my hands. The restroom was cleaner than a Walmart bathroom... But the paper towels were empty so I had to use the air dryer. I ordered the chicken fried steak and my wife ordered the Sonoran crepes. Mine came with eggs and house fries. When they brought it out it only came with a tiny cup of catsup, so speak quickly if you need more. Miraculously it was enough for me. The Sonoran crepes my wife ordered were fantastic (I tried a bite). Not too spicy, I personally would have got it hotter. All in all it was a great meal. Our waiter was pleasant and kept our coffees full. There are many other items on the menu we both want to try so we'll be back for sure. The juice drinks look great but are a little pricey (more than $10 for basic drinks). We do recommend trying this place as it was great for our first time there and we will definitely be back again. read more

I've had breakfast here 3 times now. I love the bar with options like mimosas or Bloody Mary. Their eggs Benedict is great. I had biscuits and gravy this time. It tasted good but wasn't very hot. I asked for a side of gravy and that was hot so it made my meal better. I order sausage on the side. It was barely browned at all so I only had a bite. Next time I will just ask for extra browned sausage. We had good service! I'd definitely go again and again. read more

Enjoyed a unique breakfast with a unique and friendly waiter. If you enjoy an atypical breakfast now and then such as eating Nopal or green chiles with your breakfast or want a cocktail to celebrate the morning then this is definitely the place to be! I thoroughly enjoyed the made to order omelette with homemade, tasty guacamole, cheese, and jalapeños with tasty breakfast potatoes. Lucky to have this place in the neighborhood. read more

What makes this place special is the high quality ingredients that go into every plate. It is an absolute treat to eat here. For the price you get a delicious, wholesome, fresh-made breakfast. The pancakes are a must-have. I love their regular buttermilk pancakes, but the specialty pancakes are killer too. I like the ones with bananas and nutella. Wow!!! The staff is super friendly (ask for Jamie!) and goes out of their way to make you happy. I love, love, love this place. Oh, and you MUST get the bloody mary. (I'd sell my mother into slavery for one of these drinks.) I'm on my third as I write this. read more

Found this place by accident. Great menu. We have been traveling for nearly twelve months and breakfast choices get very repetitious so we were delighted to eat here. Great fresh juice for a start. My partner had the muffuletta and tho not quite the NOLA experience it was really good. I had the chorizo hollandaise poached eggs with pepper house potatoes. I couldn't fault it. I would eat here again in a heart beat. Nice atmosphere and great staff. read more
