Hadn't eaten at Sunnyside Up for several years and wanted to give it another try for breakfast. We sat on the patio and still had excellent service. It was as if we were sitting inside. The waitstaff were attentive and professional. The food was excellent. We ordered breakfast and all food and drinks were flavorful and plentiful. I highly recommend this business and will definitely be bac read more

First time in was a pleasant breakfast experience. My wife really enjoyed her Hibiscus Mule and Crab Cake Benedict. I had a screwdriver and the Classic Eggs Benedict, which was just okay. The ham was a little overcooked and too large compared to the eggs and english muffins. The kitchen also went a little too heavy on the paprika, especially on the extra side that I ordered for my potatoes. The service however was exceptional! I believe our servers name was Hadiya and she's what elevated this to a 4 star from 3. She was attentive, very friendly and offered some good recommendations. We will be back and look forward to trying something new. read more

Sunnyside Up Breakfast and Lunch Cafe - Carrot cake waffle with eggs and bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

The food was very tasty, portions are large, and reasonably priced. Our server, Mireya, was a sweetheart, and all of the staff are attentive and efficient. If you order coffee, they bring a carafe for the table so it's never cold, and the manager/owner made the rounds checking in at each table. It's no wonder the place is busy, yet there was no wait. Tables turned over quickly but no one was being rushed out. read more

It's more of a 3.5-star experience for me. The food, service, and space were all good, just not quite great. If I remember right, this location used to be another breakfast spot. Our server was super friendly and attentive, which I appreciated. The food itself was pretty solid. My friend had the Parisian Eggs Benedict, and I went with the biscuits and gravy plus a side of ham. One thing that made us laugh was the note at the top of the drink menu saying drinks can't be returned, must've happened enough times to warrant the disclaimer. The beer I ordered from Santa Fe Brewing wasn't their best, so maybe stick to non-alcoholic drinks. The coffee was good. read more

Food: Amazing food and drinks, generous portions, great taste, flavor and good lot of variety on the menu. One thing that was so obvious was that the dishes were not reeking with oil like most breakfast diners. This was clearly a big plus in my books! :) Service: Our host was Mireya. She was awesome, always with a smile, very attentive, friendly, had great suggestions for vegetarian options. Ambience: Great ambience, a little busy and chatty but it was nice! Parking: No issues, ample parking in and around. Restrooms: Clean and well kept. All in all, highly recommend!! Thanks! read more

My hubby and I had a wonderful breakfast date there this AM. Service 10/10. Huge menu and all we ordered was fantastic. Nice little touches like water and coffee carafes are left on the table. Will most definitely be back. p.s. During busy times you can join the waitlist on their website. We got there at 745am and it was about half full. When we left at 845 it was packed. read more

I've been many times and it's always great! Good food and good service. It's my go to breakfast/brunch whenever I have guests in town.

I wish I had discovered Sunnyside Up before I left Albuquerque to head home. I love Eggs Benedict and will usually steer towards those at a restaurant as I can have the usual breakfast items at home. I was highly impressed with the meal as it came out. This had thick slices of ham which compared to another restaurant I had eggs benedict at earlier in my trip, there was barely any meat there. The potatoes were nicely seasoned too. I had an ice coffee to drink and unlike others I had, this wasn't watered down and came with refills. If I make my way back to Albuquerque I will come back to dine here. Staff were friendly and attentive as well. read more

Sunnyside Up Breakfast and Lunch Cafe - Classic Eggs Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I absolutely see why people love this place! It has that classic neighborhood breakfast spot feel--where you know the names of everyone who works and dines there, no matter their role. From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in good hands. I arrived closer to lunchtime, and even though it was busy, I was seated in under 15 minutes. I grabbed a booth solo, and my server, Branden, was superb! He had great recommendations, was incredibly efficient, and had a warm, inviting smile. I can see why people love sitting in his section--he's a joy! The menu? Overwhelming in the best way--I wanted everything! But since I had a plane to catch, I went on the lighter side (well, kind of). My order: Water, Dr. Pepper, a Mimosa, and a piping hot Texas Steak Skillet with green chili sauce on the side. Delicious! Eggs scrambled to perfection with cheese, tender steak, crispy potatoes, onions, and peppers... yes, ma'am! When I'm back in Albuquerque, this is a must-stop--hell, if you can handle it, come every damn day. It's that good. Enjoy! read more

They can improve their service and not ignore people making me feel like I wasn't wanted in there no one wanted to wait on us

I understand it's a holiday but you need a table time limit on a holiday. The wait time is crazy. There is no way that people should be waiting for two hours or more. Get your restaurant together. This is unacceptable and completely unprofessional. People should not be waiting that long to eat. The system is lacking and your staff is slow. read more

Okay I had a quick layover here from work and I must say I like this place . I was staying at a nearby hotel and it was literally 500 ft walk and I'm so happy about that . I walk in , table for one and was told it was 30 min . Around 20 min or , my table was ready and I walk in . My server name was Marcus , he seem busy but very attentive about taking my order. I order the hibiscus mimosa and it's good omg . Then I had the omelette . I need to find the name as I forgot but it is very good (bacon avocado scramble). Took a little bit but not too much time I got my food (now I was hungry so my patience might have been short and that's on me lol ) .its Avery just place and they also have outdoor seating . Its was busy . The food was delicious . I ate everything there and I had the muffin as my toast and it was perfect and butter well . I will come back again when I visit Albuquerque for sure . read more

So you might remember back in the day this location was an Egg and I location. But a few years back they rebranded and got rid of the franchise, but now it's basically a local version of the same thing. They have a large selection of breakfast foods, including everything you can imagine from sweet to savory. They have a good variety of coffees and alcoholic drinks. I ordered the steak skillet and sub the chile on the side for gravy. My skillet had the ranch potatoes, roasted veggies, steak and scrambled eggs. It was really good and very filling. The wait was a little on the longer side, but as you sit around, you realize a lot of people were waiting in their cars so it was more busy than it looked initially. I think we waited about 45 minutes for two people. Once we were seated, service was pretty fast and everything came out at a decent pace. read more

Had been some years since i had been back but the place still hits just like it did about 5 yrs ago. Place is always packed on the weekends but worth the wait. If u dont want to wait just call it in. Strawberry Banana waffle was delicious. Power tonic juice is great but overpriced for the size and amount. Always clean with good service. Support this local place instead of going to crackel barrel read more

Sunny side is a cute brunch place. They were decorated like a country diner. The server is friendly and quick. My daughter and I came for quick healthy breakfast before we ran errands. I got the Tuscan scramble and my daughter got the crab Benedict. The food was cooked well and the perfect temperature. The dressed greens side was not as tasteful. read more

The wait just kept getting longer and longer, and the hostess was quite rude about it. Might have been inclined to stay longer if she hadn't corrected me about how long we had been waiting No breakfast place is worth an hour plus wait in Albuquerque. read more

From the reviews, this was supposed to be the best breakfast place in Albuquerque. But it fell quite short of our expectations. The restaurant is located in a strip mall next to a Marriott.. so you have plenty of parking. They do not take reservations but will put you on a waitlist - so make sure you get on it. The waiters seemed rushed. Our server spilled hot coffee on my friend and then barely apologized. They missed taking one persons order too and did not compensate for the extra wait time (almost 25 mins for my friend to get her food) Now coming to the food itself - nothing great. It was off the mill breakfast food that frankly can be found anywhere so I am not sure why this is so highly rated. read more

Some restaurants are good, some are great, Sunnyside Up is excellent! The restaurant is very aesthetically pleasing and the staff are friendly and welcoming! And the food? It was phenomenal! I had one of their healthy omelette options and my wife had a breakfast sandwich, both were bursting with flavor, what I enjoyed personally was that each portion in my plate was very well balanced and the omelette had plenty of vegetables, bacon, cheese and all the ingredients made for a symphony of well blended and balanced flavors, this is going to be one of our frequently visited restaurants, see you all soon! read more

My husband and I enjoy going out for breakfast on Saturdays. We hadn't tried Sunnyside Up and decided to check it out. We had to wait about 25 minutes to be seated, no surprise since there were a couple of sportsball events happening this weekend. Once we got to our seats, things rolled along smoothly. Our server was friendly and attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. I ordered the corned beef hash with over easy eggs and my husband had a bacon avocado scramble. Both were very tasty and we enjoyed our meal without feeling rushed. read more

One of THE BEST breakfast/brunch spots in Albuquerque! Some of my favorites are the pancakes and waffles, sizzling skillets, and Bennie's but I can't imagine you could go wrong even if you closed your eyes and pointed at the menu. And if you're looking for something a little boozy to go with your meal, they have some tasty cocktails, too. **thumbs up** They do get pretty busy though, especially on the weekends so be prepared for a wait. Pro tip: join the waitlist on their website to minimize the wait time. Enjoy!! read more

Great breakfast with a lot of choices! We've been back a couple of times and it doesn't disappoint. Service is good; the wait staff are very friendly and attentive. The restaurant itself is quaint but crowded for the folks they're serving and those waiting for a table. Definitely recommend but plan on a wait...it will be worth it once you're seated! read more

They were able to seat our table of 5 within 20 minutes. Our server came over pretty quickly and took our drink order, brought our drinks, and then took our meal order. Unfortunately, he kept forgetting one drink for one of our group. it eventually came. But he was on top of everything else. I ordered a crab cake benedict, which came with greens, and then I ordered a side of potatoes. it was quite delicious. The rest of the table ordered a veggie benedict, a waffle, corned beef hash, and simple breakfasts. They all enjoyed as well. Great place to get a nice breakfast. read more

This is my spot. Every Sunday morning I come here. Food is amazing, price is great but love the owners always coming around and talking to you. My drink is always filled. There's always a wait!!!!! Because it's great! Buuuuuuut life hack incoming. They have a website with a waitlist to join. I join it when I'm 20-30 min away and I wait 5-10 mins when I'm there. Life hack 101. See you guys next week!! read more

I couldn't even come inside! WHY you ask... Parking spots are too small (most are labeled Compact). I was driving a Chrysler Pacifica (Texan visiting Albuquerque)! I was not able to park to go in and after driving around 15 minutes, for a parking spot to clear, never happened. Plus this place shares parking with a Chili's! Was not going to wait too long... need to rethink their parking strategy. Seems like a cool little spot, and the food seems to be delish however, I cannot speak with accuracy on that because I was not able to park. read more

The husband was hankering for some grits for breakfast. We had the time, so we decided to make the trip across town. To say they were busy is an understatement. We were seated by the kitchen, which isn't always a fave spot for me but it worked out well. I was wanting something...."small". Ordered the Berry Oatmeal. Typical NM, the serving size was GINORMOUS! Came with granola and fresh blueberries and raspberries on top. Sides were milk, fresh fruit, raisins, brown sugar and an english muffin. Oatmeal was hot...says to me it didn't sit long before our server brought it out. Needless to say, I didn't finish it all. But enjoyed every bite. So if you happen to be by Coronado Mall and wanting a clean, fast, friendly place to grab breakfast/brunch, you should give them a try. read more
