    Sunrise Bistro on Johns Island, SC, is a delightful and cozy spot perfect for breakfast or brunch. This charming café offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it a good place to start your day or enjoy a leisurely meal. The menu is full of delicious, hearty options, from classic breakfast dishes like delicious open faced Mediterranean omelets, eggs Benedict is very good and classic breakfast choices. The French toast sandwich is yummy. Their specialty coffee drinks and fresh juices pair perfectly with any meal. We have only been there a few times for breakfast but they pull a good brunch/lunch crowd. The service is friendly and efficient, making every visit feel special, and the relaxed yet vibrant atmosphere creates a perfect place to gather with friends or enjoy a peaceful morning alone. If you're on Johns Island and looking for a top-notch spot to enjoy breakfast or brunch, Sunrise Bistro is a must-visit. With its delicious food, welcoming vibe, and top-tier service, it's no wonder locals and visitors alike keep coming back! Only reasons a 4 out of 5 is its almost always crowded, no good place to wait outside, parking very limited. Note their hours: Mon Closed Tue 7 AM-2:30 PM Wed 7 AM-2:30 PM Thu 7 AM-2:30 PM Fri 7 AM-2:30 PM Sat 7 AM-2:30 PM Sun 9 AM-1 PM

    One of my favorite breakfast places on the island! The island can be a hit or miss as we found out earlier! Our problem is we expect great food and service! This place doesn't disappoint! It has bed areas 4 years since we have visited! Portion size is smaller and prices are a little higher! This place is best deal on the isle! I had the chicken fried steak benne! I order sunny side up but one egg was over easy! I still enjoyed it ! My son got scrambled eggs and sausage biscuits and gravy! My bride got a ope face tomato and cheese toast thing with a side of collards ! Ambiance was excellent and staff was on the money! Bathrooms are funny and weird! There is an entrance and exit! Coffee is self serve! Always a credit card fee!

    From the moment we stepped in, we felt welcome. The service was great. So many people stopped by to ask how we were doing. Everyone was pitching in. The food, oh my! I got the firecracker shrimp and grits with herbed bread. Outstanding! My husband got the turkey sandwich with Cajun fries and was equally happy with his dish, but I still think mine was far superior to his. I mean, shrimp and grits!

    A great little "locals" bistro offering comfort food. Sunrise Bistro is a good meal stop on your way to "the islands" and/or Wadmalaw Island/Rockville ~ as the cafe serves breakfast all day and lunch daily. The service is swift and attentive and the staff is always in constant motion making sure everyone is happy. Portions are large so you will leave very satisfied and happy! This morning I ordered the yogurt parfait - "deconstructed" with an additional bowl of fruit. The melba sauce that accompanies the yogurt parfait is delicious - rich texture and tart and not too sweet. ....and is a nice added touch. You can't go wrong with the open-face omelets ~ and many choices ~ which was the additional dish at our table. The self serve coffee bar is a great feature here. The coffee carafes are continuously replaced when empty so the three selections of coffee are guaranteed to be fresh and hot. There is plenty of parking in front of the restaurant. For good "home cooking" that tastes like Mom's~ I would recommend Sunrise Bistro.

    my friend, Clark - She just ran a race and then ate here - she's very happy! So yum! Potatoes get in my tummy!

    Food literally so fire! Come here! Service awesome! Ambiance super vibey! Got the Breakfast Burrito and I almost cried because it was so good! Everyone smiled and was happy.

    Visited Sunrise Bistro today. Service was fast, and the food was excellent. I had the Mediterranean Omelet with herb toast. It was delicious. I would recommend this place! Keep in mind, it's only open until 2:00 and 1:00 pm on Sundays. Closed on Monday.

    So happy to have found this gem in John's Island, SC. The service was friendly and offered the complimentary coffee of our choice at the coffee bar! Our server was kind hearted and recommended the shrimp and grits, which was amazing! My tastebuds were delighted! The chicken biscuit n gravy was good as well.

    This time we went with friends and things were better. The crab cake was a bit slushy but better than tasting bad which it did not.

So I ordered from the Yt, 2-eggs over-medium, turkey sausage, pancake platter. Now prior to me ordering I asked if all of this can go on a order and she said yes, you would have to order the eggs and sausage platter and add the pancake so I said OK. I want that. So she never rang me up for the pancake idea ideally so after the kitchen made the order, the with the mask on in the kitchen that was running the kitchen act as if she had an attitude and says that that wasn't on the order so I politely said I ordered that apparently she wasn't listening, and I asked prior to ordering for clarity! She wasn't LISTENING. So the kind gentleman that was working, the grill asked me what size was the pancake and told me that he would go ahead and make it so he went ahead and made and he had on the behalf of the cashier. So the skin girl in the still acting she has an attitude after the guy on the grill passes to her, my pancake she goes and takes the forks and knife from wherever it was along with the butter that was in a box and walks over to me and goes up under the counter, where a box of syrup is sitting at and puts all of this on top of my food with not one sheet of tissue paper on top to separate the dirt from off of all those items that came from various places that were packaged from various places and touched by many people before it got to the damn store and then when I take everything out and ask this bitch for a with an attitude, she tells me to ask the lady in the front. First impressions are lasting impressions and for this to be my first time and definitely my last time coming to this establishment, I googled this before going to my next patient and just got off of being patient and I'm hungry and I'm respectful and I get attitude and my order messed up and the only person that to apologize was the cook that did nothing wrong. He needs to be restaurant. He saved this star from being a 1!

Their prices have really gone up, and the quality of food just doesn't justify downtown Charleston price tags. $5.50 for a watered down "cold brew," and about $10 for a sausage egg and cheese on toast... which they up charged me $1.09 to switch it from a biscuit to toast they likely got at Aldi or Teeter After taxes this was slightly over $19. I don't see that they stock the Charleston City Paper anymore, which is something I used to look forward to reading in their worn in cozy space.
