    Spinach omelette with chicken sausage
    Terrance S.

    Very good choices, good vibes, good staff, and great location. Plenty of delicious options. This is a great place to stop before hitting the mountain for a day in the snow. Don't miss this hidden gem.

    Country Breakfast #20

    I'm in town for a conference and rather than setting settling for the Hampton Inn breakfast. I decided to walk a few steps up the hill and eat at the sunshine Café. What a great choice. I went with the basic country breakfast, which comes with three pieces of bacon hashbrowns two eggs over easy no bread for me. Thank you r easonable priced breakfast and great service.

    Cheese Omelette with sausage, tomato, onion, and green pepper
    Greg S.

    Some loud construction happening nearby was a bit of a nuisance initially but didn't bother us after all...just added to the ambiance. Seriously, excellent service, fair prices, and excellent food quality. Oh, 4% discount for paying with cash! We'll be back!

    Corned beef hash Benedict

    We were able to get seated only after a few minutes wait. It was brunch time so we decided to try this restaurant as neither of us had breakfast. The place was busy but we were waited on in a good time and our food came out quickly. My husband had eggs Benedict with corn beef hash. He was hoping the corned beef hash was homemade but it wasn't. I had the French toast with eggs and sausage. Generous helpings for price.

    Chorizo Benedict

    Solid Breakfast Stop on the Way to Vail We stopped by Sunshine Café for breakfast on our way to Vail. I really enjoyed the Chorizo Benedict--flavorful and well-prepared. The omelets were also quite good. My son wasn't too impressed with the pancakes, but overall, it's a great spot for a quick and satisfying breakfast

    Great food and excellent service! Wide variety of breakfast and lunch options. Kid friendly. They have a beautiful aquarium inside and lots of kids were hooked to the variety of fish in there.

    Corned beef hash with biscuit
    Linda L.

    Love the adorable vibes of this local diner. Staff was very friendly. Their menu is inclusive of all diets and preferances. There's breakfast and lunch options. I started with a French vanilla cappuccino which was great but very, very sweet. Towards the bottom of the cup I had to add water to dilute it so it wouldn't taste like straight up syrup. For a main, I opted for the corned beef hash breakfast with a side of biscuit. Everything was delicious and made fresh. The corned beef was just the right amount of savory and joy overt salty or oily. My eggs were perfectly over easy as I ordered. The hash browns were light and the biscuit was fluffy. Perfect fuel before the winter activities!

    We stopped in to this cafe on our way to Vail and had a really nice hot breakfast. The waitress was not exactly engaging or kind, but not technically rude either- just short/abrupt and didn't smile. The food made up for the service as it was really tasty and just what we needed on a colder morning heading to the mntns. The cafe is conveniently located next to the outdoor outlet mall in Siverthorne, gas stations, pharmacies and more! I'd recommend for breakfast.

    I honestly don't like leaving bad reviews, but this experience was terrible…read more I ordered mac and cheese with chili and pork, and what came out looked like plain microwaveable Kraft mac and cheese. There was no chili, no pork, nothing -- just basic mac and cheese that tasted like it came straight out of a box. My friend ordered a burger that was supposed to come with lettuce, blue cheese, and the works. Instead, it arrived with just chicken and bread. That was it. No toppings at all. The water we were given was also incredibly dirty -- it literally looked grey. Service somehow managed to be both overwhelming and nonexistent. While we were eating, the waiter came back to the table every couple of seconds so we couldn't even have a conversation. But when we were actually ready for the check, suddenly there was no waiter anywhere and we fwaited about 15 minutes. On top of that, every request got mixed up. I asked for blue cheese and after about 10 minutes the waiter came back with ranch. Then I asked for lemon vinaigrette (which the meal was supposed to come with) and instead got honey mustard. After explaining again, she came back with... even more honey mustard. We also paid $10 for fries with green chili and received about 15 fries. And one more thing when paying they did NOT bring my card back for about 20 minutes. It was also extremely dark where we were sitting all of the surrounding lights were off but everywhere else in the resteraunt was perfectly fine Overall the food quality, service, and attention to orders were extremely disappointing. Definitely not an experience I'd repeat don't waste your money here.

I guess they changed their business model for a while and weren't full service, but they are back as I remember it. Full service, hot coffee, friendly staff.

It was just the right amount to hit the slopes on, and I didn't break the bank. My son had a southwestern style omelet. He said it was good and he didn't leave hungry.

For context, I'm a professional chef with over 17 years in the industry, having worked as a server, line cook, chef, and restaurant owner. The atmosphere itself is decent. The building is nice, though the tables are a bit small depending on where you're seated. We were greeted and seated without issue--but that's where the positives ended. Prices are high, but it's Summit County, so that's expected. That said, I live in Aspen and have had better food for less. I understand catering to the Vail Resorts crowd, but quality still matters. Before even walking in, we watched one of the cooks step outside near the freezer and take drugs from someone sitting in a car. While this may not shock anyone familiar with the area, it's still not something you want to see before a meal. We chose to ignore it and went inside. My husband ordered the fish and chips ($24), and I ordered the Italian pizza. Starting with the fish and chips: it was terrible. The portion of fish was tiny--smaller than my hand--and poorly cooked, with no seasoning whatsoever. It was bland, ragged, and buried beneath an excessive amount of fries that were both dry and soggy, as if they'd been sitting under a heat lamp for far too long. The hush puppies included were equally mediocre. While I understand their Southern origins, fish and chips is a British dish. If you're adding hush puppies to inflate the price, it should be marketed differently. Three hush puppies buried under fries do not justify a $24 plate, especially when the fish itself is subpar. To make matters worse, we weren't given condiments and had to grab a table caddy ourselves from the bar across the room. Both meals arrived in about seven minutes, which strongly suggests they were pre-cooked and reheated rather than made fresh--especially considering one was a pizza and the other a fried fish entrée. As for my pizza, it was fine. Nothing special, nothing awful. For the price and location, it was average, and I won't complain much about it. The biggest issue, however, was the service. The server was pleasant at first, but about 15 minutes into our meal she began pushing us to leave. I still had half a margarita in front of me, and my husband was actively eating with more than half his beer left. Instead of checking in appropriately, she immediately asked if I wanted a box. Anyone with industry experience knows that's not how you approach a table--especially when guests are clearly not finished. It's rude and makes customers feel unwelcome. Fifteen minutes later, after I reluctantly accepted a box, she returned again while my husband was still eating and drinking and asked if we were "all set." At that point, we'd been there for about 30 minutes, spent over $60, and were being rushed out. Meanwhile, the rest of the restaurant was filled with people lingering over drinks during happy hour--some on laptops, some just chatting--most without food at all. Whether this was intentional or just poor service, it reflects a lack of training and care. Burnout is real in this industry, but that doesn't excuse making guests feel unwelcome. If you don't want to do the job properly, find another one. Overall, this is a two-star experience solely because the happy hour drinks are worth it. For food or genuinely good service, go to Dillon Dam across the street--they're cheaper and the food is far better. This restaurant needs a complete overhaul of both kitchen and front-of-house staff, along with serious retraining. You can't charge $25 for mediocre food, provide poor service, and still expect solid tips. Unfortunately, this place exemplifies many of the problems currently plaguing the restaurant industry.
