This is diner food the way it should always be. Well-thought-out dishes served up in large portions without all the "old grease" flavor that permeates most of the competition. My wife had the Lobster Benedict and I had the Volcano bowl (specials) and both were excellent. Will definitely be back and recommend to other! read more

Excellent cafe with a wide variety of food, busy place which means the food and service is terrific!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! It was later in the day (around 1pm), but since it is never too late for breakfast, we decided to stop at Sunnyside to get something to eat. In addition to breakfast for me, they were also serving lunch all day for the others. This is a really cool restaurant that just feels like a local hangout. Being located across from the beach is definitely a plus. The restaurant is a comfortable and casual setting with tables for four or more with additional seating at the counter. The walls are decorated with an ocean theme with decor and art items for sale. After reviewing the menu, I decided to have an egg white omelet stuffed with spinach, peppers, onions, cheese, tomatoes and mushrooms with a side of breakfast potatoes. My husband ordered his favorite, cheese burger with fries while our friend decided to go with the loaded baked potato soup. As far as I am concerned, my omelet trumped every single dish at that table because it was incredible and stuffed with fresh veggies. It needed nothing because it was a complete meal in itself and very filling. Although the breakfast potatoes were a bit overdone for me and the crispy bits were a bit too salt, I didn't care because it was all about that omelet. Honey, when I tasted that omelet I didn't need no taters or toast. This was a five star omelet for real. My husband loved his giant burger (that came fully dressed), and battered fries which carried him through the evening. Even the soup was a big hit. Our main dishes were all well seasoned and well prepared and service was great! If you are in Melbourne Beach looking for a great meal, I suggest you stop here as you will not be disappointed! read more

See all

We are not from the area so I don't have a frame of reference for the reason behind the 4.5 average rating for this place. Elsewhere in the state or country this would be considered over-inflated. Ordered a variety of things off the menu...veggie omelette, cinnamon roll, French toast, scrambled eggs, home fries. It was generic and underseasoned at best. Basic veggie pieces wrapped in a thin layer of egg. Weird cinnamon roll...not flavorful. French toast...just bread, no cinnamon, no fruit, no whip cream. You get the picture. Lacks creativity and flavor profile. Diner-like quality. Certainly not worthy of the $45 tab. Staff was friendly. read more

So let me just start by saying I am a breakfast person. I mean I love breakfast and this place did not disappoint. First off or was packed when we went in and that's typically a good sign. The service was great even with a packed house. People were very nice and attentive. We both had Greek omelets and they were excellent. I got the hash browns which were seasoned and cooked just right. Not too done but not undercooked as what often happens. My husband got a waffle with his and it was perfect. Both crispy and soft as a waffle should be. We will definitely be back. read more

wanted to try something we have never tried before so we came here nothing stood out to much the waiter didn't even tell us her name she had way to many tables to deal with by herself she talked to us maybe twice the place needs an update it looks very out of date our waiter got upset with us when we asked for our drinks because it took so long she basically told us to be more patient , if i may add the chocolate milk was so bad. after we got the check it took 20 min for her to come pick it back up at our table , but the sausage gravy was really good! read more

A great neighborhood breakfast & lunch Diner that enjoys a hustling & bustling business from locals, snow birds & tourists alike. Owners & staff treat you like family & call you by name. From Benedict's, "All American" style breakfasts, to great specials of local fare, to a good soup, salad or sandwich. Today I ordered a rare waffle. Everything is as it should be. Don't expect fast food. But you can call ahead & order that go, as most weekend mornings you could wait a little longer. Definite wait if more than four. read more

Came for breakfast, great food...omelets, French toast, pancakes were all delicious. It was fairly busy but there were plenty of servers. Not sure if the kitchen got behind but it took a long time for us to get our food. read more

I called-in a takeout order and went to pick it up. The service was amazing. My food was fresh, hot and very tasty. I highly recommend this restaurant!! read more

My favorite breakfast place. We  went there on (father's day) and there was a line waiting. We sat at the bar so we had a close up look at the women waiting tables. These ladies were awesome! It was like a well oiled machine. So busy but kept a smile on their face and gave fantastic service. Also kudos to the guys in the kitchen getting the orders out so quickly. But in addition to this the food is great! read more

Great find for breakfast! Awesome menu and reasonable prices. I had the avocado beni special.. Superb! Hubby had western omelette and commented on how good the ham was and generous amount. I especially appreciate anyplace that brews their own iced tea and this was tasty plus free refills! Wait staff was very friendly and attentive and food service was surprisingly quick. We will definitely return. read more

Wife and I went for breakfast. Servers extraordinary friendly and efficient. Coffee continually filled. Food was excellent & fresh. Served quickly and hot. Prices reasonable. read more

I really enjoyed eating at Sunnyside. My family came in around 10:30 to a packed restaurant and we got the last empty table. We were greeted the second we stepped foot in the door! The service is fantastic. Our main server was extremely friendly and helpful and there were a few others who helped refill coffee. The prices are VERY reasonable. For the amount of food (and high quality), it's a steal. The four of us ate for under $40 and the portions were generous. The food itself is delicious and made fresh. Every dish was brought out individually, which was great because it kept hot. My omelet was great and my brother loved his waffle and the french toast is unique but great. The service, food, and pricing are all amazing. Wish I lived over here! read more

Nice place, friendly staff and good service and great food. Simple and pleasant, would go back again

First, the menu... Great selection with a generous portion of Bennidics, pancakes, omelettes, and even a special section on healthy dishes. Second the food and portions. Good size portions and the food was great! Third, service. This PLACE WAS PACKED! And yet the ladies serving the customers were constantly moving. Coffee and water constantly filled and food was HOT OFF THE GRILL! Do yourself a favor... Eat here! read more

Yummy breakfasts, quick service. Staff is very attentive and friendly. The seating is a bit tight, but I guess it's because we are on Spring break so it equals lots of customers...which is a good thing for them. The staff is very knowledgeable and well organized. read more

First time here for breakfast on a nice sunny Sunday. Two of us to dine...western omelet with hash browns and english y tasty with just a hint of vanilla or was in cinnamon? whatever, it was terrific. Service is swift, efficient, and done with a friendly smile. You can tell the employees seem to like each other and enjoy their jobs. KUDOS!muffin and sausage...PERFECT; plain waffle with sausage links was cooked to perfection...I detected a hint of vanilla, maybe a smidgen of cinnamon, whatever it was very tasty. Wait persons are friendly and gracious...you can tell they are happy to work here, it shows. Kudos for a delightful place in Melbourne Beach read more

Sunnyside Cafe is our go to place for breakfast when visiting home in Melbourne Beach! They recently did a huge renovation & it's completely changed the feel of the restaurant. I also have always had great service here! We came with a group of 8 people during the holidays, got a table quickly & got our food even quicker! I ordered the new Açaí Bowl and loved it. Our group usually gets eggs/omelettes & the portions are huge for the prices. Highly recommend! read more

I will first start by saying the food is great. The place is small but cute in it's diner feel. However I have a major issue with service. We arrived close to 1130 on a Saturday I get it's busy, I respect that. We were seated rather quickly after a table was cleaned off. There were 5 of us including two kids. All the food orders were salad or breakfast things like pancakes or eggs. We were served our food after litterly everyone that came in after us. And I mean 10 15 20 minutes after us. I get this is a small town I get there are locals but I will not respect any establishment that serves regulars blatantly before customers who have been waiting. And what makes this absolutly disgusting and unforgivable is a person at our tables order wasn't put in at all. And she had to wait 5 more minutes, while all of us were served, for pancakes. I will not return, there are many other places to spend my money. And based on their treatment of none regulars they will be fine without us. read more

I'm not saying this place is horrible but the orange juice was 5$ and they gave me whipped cream with a side of French toast. I think they added a labor fee to the fresh squeezed orange juice. read more

Can't say enough about how the servers here treat their customers. Always a smile, tons of patience with wending their way around the maze of tables, quick service...they seem to work as a team, which is always nice to see. The tables are packed in tight to the small space. This would normally bother me, but it all works. Fare is typical diner-ish food & prices are good. But the community atmosphere is what's notable. Small town dining with no bells & whistles, but consistent & friendly. read more

My fav breakfast spot when visiting Indialantic, FL! Family owned. We've been coming here for 6 years when visiting and they always remember us! Service is outstanding, food is delicious and you're walking distance to the beach! read more

We came here on a recommendation from another restaurant down the street because they serve breakfast later than most places around. It's a pretty small place in a strip plaza and it was wall to wall PACKED! We sat at the counter so we wouldn't have to wait for a table. We were hoping for some mimosas with our brunch, but they don't serve them. Food was good, it was your standard breakfast and lunch food, nothing really stood out to my friends and I as being anything special. The food came relatively fast for how busy it was, which was nice. The servers were friendly but it was a little chaotic behind the counter and took them a while to finally take our orders. Overall a pretty average place, but good for getting breakfast after 10 am. read more

Great little spot for breakfast. Super service even though it was very busy...clearly a lot of local folks are regulars here...we came for a break from hotel breakfast. Had an asparagus and feta omelette. There are many great options to choose from & it was a great value. If I lived here I'd be in all the time! read more

I was visiting family in Melbourne Bch and we went to this wonderful restaurant on St Patricks Day. There were a lot of people ahead of us but they moved everyone quickly. I had the Belgium Waffles with Crispy Bacon and Eggs over easy that were done perfect. Everything was so good. Also, I met the owner who was very friendly and helpful and had the nicest big smile for everyone even though they were working there butts off. I def want to go there again someday. read more

This is my favorite place in the world! As a local, I am here everyday that I am home from school. We have been coming here as much as we can since I can remember. Definitely a local staple with amazing menu options, great prices, and open for breakfast and lunch. There is something on the menu for everyone. Everyone is super accommodating and will always make sure you have everything you need and more. Did I mention the owners and staff are the nicest people in the world? You're missing out if you come to Mel Beach and don't go to Sunny Side Up! read more

Very friendly staff. The food is consistently delicious and the prices are very reasonable. Tried the Key West omlette with Key lime sauce last weekend...hope they make it a permanent selection. read more

In search of breakfast on our family vacation I found this little gem on Yelp. The reviews looked decent so we gave it a shot. We had a party of 9 we were seated quickly and orders were taken. The food was great everyone enjoyed what they got. My wife thought the coffee wasn't the best but it wasn't terrible either. The real star here is the service fast friendly and always looking to make sure drinks are refilled and finished plates are cleared away. As we left everyone agreed it was great and that's rare among any 9 people but especially family we may even go there again before we leave. read more

We come to Melbourne one weekend a month, and religiously eat breakfast here every single time. We always have a large group with us and every time we are greeted by friendly faces, and excellent service. The food is the best in the area. Never disappointed with the quantity, and quality. Fresh ingredients and homemade taste. Their fresh squeezed OJ is out of this world just make sure you're patient as it takes a few minutes, because DUH it's fresh! (So worth the wait) their fresh biscuits OMG... so flaky and buttery, their Açaí bowl is always delicious! Highly recommend :) read more

We checked yelp review and decided to try. They have great food but their service was what we loved the most. They were nice, friendly and attentive. They also paid detail attention to cleanliness. We highly recommend this cafe!!! read more

This place is where I tell everybody that it is going to be my retirement restaurant. By that I mean I will go there every morning and sit and eat my breakfast and become one of the many regulars. Currently my wife and kids go here frequently and have never been disappointed. Today was very busy but our food and service was on point. Hot fresh and served with a smile the entire staff worked well together keeping all coffee full and hot and the food was served quickly ! read more

Great food and service! Clean and plenty of parking! Small Patio on the front porch where pets are allowed. I had the acai bowl and he had the corned beef hash Benedict- both were delicious and the fruit was fresh. Staff is pleasant, prompt and efficient. We will be back! read more

Quaint friendly & reasonably priced with some vegan options. They have açaí bowls, oatmeal, pitaya bowls & açaí smoothies. Food was good according to my husband, he had two breakfast biscuit sandwiches w/ egg, cheese and sausage and said it was better than Cracker Barrel lol! Friendly staff read more

After seeing the 4.5 rating, we chose a Saturday morning breakfast at Sunnyside. It is small and quaint. Everyone was friendly, service very good, food arrival was timely but man, it was not good. It just wasn't good and one of the first times where we wondered who was rating the food. For example, a cinnamon roll and we could taste the cinnamon and the bun had an odd taste to it. It had probably frozen and/or microwaved. The French Toast was "ok" but nothing special. The best part of the breakfast was the turkey sausage that two of us ordered. We also had a veggie scramble and veggie omlet but it wasn't good. There is a disconnect between the rating and the food. read more

We tried this place based on Yelp reviews and they were right-on. Our family got French toast, a waffle and a club sandwich and all was good. Service was good, too. read more

Quaint little breakfast/brunch place with indoor and outdoor seating. Food is awesome and reasonably priced. Nice variety of specials on a daily basis. Service is consistently good with friendly staff. Opens at 6am, my wife and I enjoy this place at least twice a month. read more

This place is amazing. They move so fast here you never have an empty cup of coffee or wait more than 10 mins for your order. Everything we have ever ordered is amazingly delicious. They have the best western omelette I've ever had and everything that comes out always looks great! read more
