Great spot to snag breakfast or a quick bite before heading to the beach. I've been to Sunnyside Café a few times, but finally remembered to do a review. This last time I went with my family and we were stopping in for breakfast before we hit the road. I ordered an açaí bowl and a side of scrambled eggs. I'm not sure what it is that they do with their eggs, but I am obsessed with them! The açaí bowl was a standard açaí bowl it was tasty and exactly what I was looking for to start my day! One thing to remember is if you want hot sauce, I would bring some from your house because I believe their hot sauce is pretty watered down. I am sure I will be back the next time I am in the area! read more

We were greeted as we entered and told to sit anywhere we wanted. The staff were really pleasant and were quick with their service. My French Toast had a great flavor and were cooked well. The eggs were nicely made and the bacon were nice and crunchy. My husband's Mexican Omelete was very good as well. We look forward to eating there again. read more

Local place that enjoys a loyal crowd. But hard to believe it has been seven years since I did a review. I know we have been a few times and the photos show that. Went for mid week breakfast. Got a table right away and ordered our drinks. Our server was attentive and did a good job. Two egg breakfast has a huge portion of eggs and were ok. Kind of greasy eggs. Bacon was crisp and the home fries also a bit greasy. Build your own omelette was ok. Toast was dry. Not much butter and none on the table. I slathered some strawberry jam on it and choked it down. The home fries were not good. Greasy and unflavorful. Was hoping it would be great but sadly not worth the drive south. Protip: There is a military discount on the service members meal. THANK YOU Sunnyside Cafe. read more

The group of eleven went to breakfast at Sunnyside Cafe this morning. We sat at a four top and a seven top. We had a variety of different foods. Since I was at the table of four, I will review for our table. We had pancakes with a side of bacon and eggs, a waffle topped with fruit and chocolate chips with a side of bacon and eggs, an avocado Benedict, and I had the North side scrambler (Italian sausage, eggs, tomatoes, and peppers (red, green and yellow)). Everything was delicious. Our waitress serving, a total of seven Eagle fans, one Bill fan, and thee ?? fans, was a Patriot fan. She was very friendly with both tables, even the seven top table that was not officially her table. Excellent service by both waitresses at both tables! read more

I eat here one in awhile and it is always good. The service is friendly and sincere. The food always served hot with a smile. I love a cheeseburger for breakfast and they are on point. It was so hot I had to give it a minute.The juice was dripping when I took that first bite, so delicious. French fries really good. Fresh squeezed OJ. I don't think you can go wrong starting your day here. read more

Sunny Side Café is a charming spot conveniently located just a short walk from the beach, perfect for a relaxing bite before or after some sun and sand. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, whether you choose to sit inside or enjoy the fresh air outdoors. The meals taste just like home-cooked comfort food, and everything we tried was fresh and flavorful. Big bonus: their iced caramel latte is absolutely delicious! Great coffee, great food, and very reasonable prices. A definite favorite when I'm in the Melbourne Beach area. read more

A great place to eat in the Melbourne Beach area According to their website, they are, "Dedicated to serving great food, breakfast that will get your day to the best possible start." This was my first time trying this restaurant after having driven by this location for over 20 years. It is in a strip center built on the north side of Beach Avenue and mere steps from the beach. There is plenty of parking. They have inside or outside seating. The outside seating is small 2-person tables set on each side of the walkway with metal chairs. The inside seating is mostly a series of booths and some seating at a counter to the right as you enter. The staff was very friendly and efficient. We saw and were helped by at least 5 different waitresses. The menu is a good selection of breakfast favorites from basic eggs, to omelets to French toast and pancakes. I tried the bacon scrambler with home fries and an English muffin. The food came out quickly. It was a good portion and was very tasty. I like the English muffin the most. Overall, between the service, location, food, and cost I thought this was a very nice restaurant and I would recommend it to anybody wanting a delicious meal in the Melbourne Beach area. read more

Got a late start to the day so lunch was top of the order. Found the previous Yelp reviews helpful in this find. Talk about Hot or Cold & Plenty of It!!! First off, super friendly staff as we walked in the door, " have a seat anywhere you like guys" the hostess said. I like that, personally. Fairly simple menu as we chose the burger options. Mama had the Greek Burger while I chose the Brazilian Burger. Talk about everything including the kitchen sink in the Brazilian, holy cow! Everything was delicious. Service was awesome for this diner eatery. Thanks to the Sunnyside Cafe Staff, you all were awesome today. read more

Such a great little spot! We came here after our first choice was closed but I'm so glad we did as it exceeded any other breakfast spots in the area! When we walked in, we were immediately greeted by at least 3 different people. The staff is incredibly attentive and friendly, and happy to answer questions. They had a ton of unique dishes in special when we went so we tried the Cajun Bene and the pumpkin French toast. We like to split a savory and sweet dish. Both were awesome! The bene had fried green tomatoes, shrimp, and a red pepper sauce. The red pepper sauce on the Cajun Bene was *chef's kiss* and had large chunks of real peppers in it. Yum. The French toast was not overly sweet (which is great) so it was easy to enjoy too. Perfectly pumpkiny with not too much "spice" like some places. The food and service were just both fantastic. I can't wait to return to try more unique specials! read more

First time a Sunnyside and I can say it was a very good experience. We came on a Sunday morning are 9:00AM and were able to quickly be sat even with limited seating. ( good thing we did because are 9:30-10:00AM the crowd started forming.) The wait staff quickly came and ordered our drinks then our meals. I ordered the American Breakfast 2 eggs over easy with Country Fried Steak. It also came with choice of bread and side and I went for hash browns all for only $9.75. Our food came out rather quickly and everything looked great. Everything was perfect good as well. Gotta love with your eggs are perfectly runny. Honest what I problem liked the last on my plate was the Country Fried Steak. I was good but a little small and had some bits that were a little more chewy then I like. The is a very nice small cafe that I will for sure return to. It's the best breakfast I have had in Melbourne Beach so far as well. The wait staff was amazing and extremely friendly as well. I might not get the Country Fried Steak again but they also have a bunch of specials that sounded amazing that I plan to try. 4 of which were different spins of Eggs Benedict which they already had another 4 of in the menu. Will be coming back. My even have myself a mimosa or a draft next time! read more

Sunnyside Cafe - All American Breakfast with Country Fried Steak. Comes with 2 eggs hash browns and toast $9.75. - Cafes Near Me - Melbourne Beach, Florida

About a month ago, we drove down to Melbourne Beach to visit family. After a morning at the beach, we searched on Yelp for some breakfast and our search led us to Sunnyside Cafe (SC). - Parking - Center lot. - Vibe - It has a diner feel with a beach town vibe. There is seating available along the counter and the rest of the seating consists of booth seats and regular tables and chairs. There are also tables outside and the great thing is the outdoor space is covered. The restaurant is spacious and a decent size. The dining area is open and bright with yellow and blue colors. - TLC - We were quite a large party and Jesse took care of us. Another lady jumped in to assist with extra needs and distributing the orders. They were very polite and helpful and seemed to be used to the hustle and bustle in the restaurant, which is probably business as usual, given that they are one of the few breakfast establishments on that stretch of beach. - Eats / Refreshments - Cappucino - The Cappucino was served in a double walled glass and pretty in presentation. The Cappucino tasted great, but my only complaint was that it was filled to the brim that it was overflowing and made the glass a little messy to handle. Pitaya (Dragonfruit) Bowl - I haven't had a good Pitaya bowl since we left Hawaii, mostly because it's hard to find in Savannah. I'm glad that I decided to get one at SC, because it did not disappoint. I swapped out the coconut with granola (just a personal preference). It was a generous portion as you can see from my picture. The bowl is shallow, but wide and it was loaded with fresh bananas, strawberries and blueberries on a bed of the smoothly blended Pitaya mix. The consistency was the perfect, think smoothie. My recommendation is to ask for some honey and drizzle that on top! So yummy! Pitaya is such a gorgeous fruit, but looks can be deceiving as it lacks the sweetness that generally characterizes a fruit, so a little bit of honey, I think, elevates it just a little! I was quite full and a great meal to start my day. Banana bread - They make their Banana Bread in house and to warm it up, they place it on the griddle with some butter and fry it up for a couple of minutes. It was a thick slice and a tad bit oily from the butter, but still good. I especially enjoyed the crispiness of the crust. Kiddos - Our kids each had a Kid's Pancake plate with their own choice of sides. They were the size of the dinner plate and a large portion for a Kids meal. My kids, although small, can eat their weight in food, so their plates satisfied their hunger until at least lunch time haha. Overall, great breakfast spot in this area! Friendly service, generous portions and more importantly, fresh ingredients! I would definitely go back again when we go back to the area to visit! Stay safe, Friends! read more

I would never usually be at brunch at the beach, I would be on the beach, but today was WAY too cold for that so we checked out the local Yelp which brought us to the Sunnyside Cafe. It was obviously a place the locals frequented and the atmosphere was so welcoming. I realized how seldom you see the cooperation that the servers there had. It was super busy, but everyone helped with everything, from seating to refreshing coffee. And the food was incredible! I had Country fried steak and eggs and biscuits with gravy , the only biscuits and gravy that I have ever had that I liked. Now I'll definitely have to go back for the shrimp and grits. read more

Sunnyside Cafe - Country fried steak with eggs and hash browns - Cafes Near Me - Melbourne Beach, Florida

Nice tucked away local spot. Great variety of healthy breakfast and lunch options & daily specials. BEST home fries in Melbourne! Well seasoned, perfect texture! Today, we are testing out the cheesecake stuffed French toast, an omelette with hollandaise sauce, and chicken & waffles. Self seating, free parking, booths and tables. Prices around $10.75/meal. Healthy option to try tomorrow is the baked oatmeal, açaí bowl, and pitaya bowl (dragon fruit with fruit on top). Cheesecake stuffed French toast was a bust! The inside felt like and tasted like raw cake batter. Strawberry topping on top was just too much. Didn't hit the mark. Omelette was okay... pretty pricey and the local Waffle House is better size, better price, better taste. Chicken and waffles was just alright. read more

We went shortly after sunrise on a Saturday morning. It was busy but great service that was pretty quick. We ordered acia bowls, sausage and country fries. Lets start with the Acia bowls, these were good. I think portions could have been a little better, and the texture of the Acia was a little chunky for my liking. The country potatoes were pretty amazing I got mine deep fried. Husband got regular and we both enjoyed them. The sausage tasted good, we got patties! The tables outside are a little small for 2 people eating more than 1 plate. Service here deserves a 10! We never needed anything. Lots of locals, perfect place to grab quick food after hanging out on beach for sunrise. Family and dog friendly read more

I live about half a mile from here. I wanted to it be our spot but the food was awful. I don't understand why it's so crowded. Greasy western omelet and cooked too quickly that the outside was browned and inside runny. I can't remember what my husband got but it was equally disappointing. They cook like I teach my children how not to cook. Faster is not always better. The extra 5 mins will deliver a superior product. Sat outside which was pleasant as was the waitress who was battling the wind and picking up straw and creamer debris. I have never been inside so I can't comment on the ambiance inside. read more

Sunnyside cafe is so good. I got the Waffles and some strawberries, chocolate chips, and some syrup on top. Of course I had to get the protein on the side and I got sausage links. The food is deliciously good. Next up we got the Customer Service. Customer Service was very nice and helpful. Even though the meals were a little pricey, but it was definitely worth eating and plus you are next to a beach. You can literally see the sunrise if you walk out from the place and you can see the waves crashing on the beach. The environment is beautiful and cannot take my eyes off the beach. I would 100% recommend this one place. read more

No fuss breakfast spot. It feels very homey and friendly. Our server was Gina and she made us feel like she was our auntie taking care of us. It feels like a diner off of tv or something, everyone feels like a bunch of regulars and maybe they are, I wouldn't be surprised. Anyways you get the point. Food is nicely sized and they ask the right questions to make sure your meal is how you'd like and everyone is checking on you to be sure you're not too bc long wanting something.
