    Very delicious food! Clean restaurant, with super kind employees When I'm in town again I will definitely come back. The ranch of the chicken bacon ranch sandwich was absolutely amazing!!! I loved the bread, and the dressing on the salad was good. Everything I had form the coffee to even the side of fruit and pickle was flavorful, fresh and made with love I really liked the dynamic of the restaurant and how the employees worked together. Kind of an awkward bathroom spot but it actually makes it feel more like a family run restaurant I will be back Thank you

    Found my new favorite breakfast/lunch cafe! I absolutely love yelp events for this reason! I met the owners, Bob and Kate, right away and they were so kind and welcoming. They let me know about their cafe's history and offered some favorite items to try. Once I saw their breakfast sandwich, The Works, I knew I had to try it along with the yelp event strawberry salad and watermelon lemonade! They have the best breakfast sandwich in SD for a reason! My husband and I have been dreaming about The Works sandwich ever since our first bites. I had the strawberry salad after, and my goodness I was blown away. The cranberry citrus dressing paired SO well with the strawberries and blue cheese. I would easily eat this everyday if I could. Ended the meal with their watermelon lemonade. It was so refreshing! Couldn't have had a better start to my day.

    Wow! I can't believe Sunny Side Kitchen has been in this location 10 years and I had no idea! The place is super cute and everyone is so friendly! The food was absolutely delicious! This was a generous offering with the half chicken strawberry salad and watermelon lemonade! The salad was very fresh! Lettuce was crisp and the strawberries perfectly ripe. The blue cheese and dressing were delicious! I will definitely be back! Thank you for such an amazing Yelp Elite event!

    You can most definitely walk past the restaurant since it's so small. Once you walk in, you feel like your at home. I loved that about the café. Menu is straight forward. Jade helped me out. She was very sweet, pleasant, and I loved that fact that she shook my hand when I asked her her name! Service was fast and friendly. The strawberry watermelon lemonade 5/5 Strawberry chicken salad 5/5 Thank you guys for a great experience, I'll for sure be coming back!

    If you have not been you must swing by and check out Sunnyside! Such an amazing gem tucked away in Escondido. The staff is always so friendly and smiling and the food is spectacular! Whether you live breakfast or lunch or even breakfast for lunch there are so many great options and no wrong choices. As part of our experience we received a half chicken and strawberry salad (super fresh ingredients and healthy yet very filling) and a freshly squeezed, muddled watermelon lemonade (the perfect mix of sour and naturally sweet!). What a great treat and way to start our Monday! My daughter got a half breakfast sandwich which came with some fresh fruit and I also got a cup of the homemade barley mushroom soup. Delicious!!! Thank you Sunny Side, Audrey, and Yelp for getting our week started right with this great experience!

    I wasn't sure if I would like this event, and I'll admit I was a little disappointed when I learned it was just for a salad. However, it turned out to be a really good salad! I ate the whole thing, which is saying a lot, as I'm not typically a salad enjoyer. We parked in the back, and a friendly employee said we could enter that way. It was a little awkward walking through the employee area, but it definitely gave the place a quirky, small restaurant feel. (I'd probably just walk around to the front next time.) The staff was great, and the strawberry lemonade was especially refreshing. We also ordered an additional sandwich, which was alright. It seemed a little on the pricey side, but what food isn't expensive these days? They have a lot of options, and the place is definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area and feeling peckish. Thank you, Sunny Side, Audrey, and Yelp for the food and experience.

    Such a cute little cafe near the heart of Escondido! If anyone loves small businesses this is definitely one you must check out. The nicest staff, coziest cafe vibes, and delicious food and drinks served here! They offer both indoor and outdoor seating for every patron's preferences. The strawberry chicken salad was very filling for the half portion. The salad was so fresh from the lettuce to the strawberry cuts. The dressing was perfect and a variety of textures and flavor balance. I did order a Good Day Sunshine sandwich for my husband which was nice and toasty, and the full was a huge portion! The watermelon lemonade was the perfect balance to the food ordered!

    Really enjoyed this experience. I've never heard of this place but have tried to find brunch spots in Escondido before. The watermelon lemonade was so good. I usually don't have sugary drinks but the lemonade was obviously fresh squeezed and so refreshing. I love watermelon anything. I'm also a salad girl. Check my reviews, every restaurant I get a salad. Many times I pack a salad for lunch. And believe me when I say this was one of the best salad I've had. Not really a fruit in my salad kinda girl nor the way the dressing was described but it was actually More creamy than vinaigrette and I would definitely come back for that. I'm assuming many people don't like blue cheese cuz he made sure to ask if I was ok with that. Would have loved more crumbles honestly I love blue cheese. Everything was very fresh including the strawberries! Each berry was literally perfect. Staff was friendly, I did not make it back in time on my lunch break but so can't make it a habit like I had intended but I will definitely be back when in the area

    Strawberry Chicken Salad
    Maria D.

    This place is a gem! Friendly and helpful owner. The restaurant is small and cozy. For the elite experience, I got to try their Strawberry Chicken salad and a Watermelon Lemonade. The drink tasted good and was sooo refreshing! The salad came with this awesome vinaigrette. It was a half size but was a generous portion and a complete meal for me. We came when they were almost closing so I did not get a chance to buy some pastries as their inventory was mostly out. I've added Sunny Side Kitchen on my list to come back and try different items and drinks on the menu. Thank you so much Yelp for this elite experience and getting to try this lovely place. @Sunny_Side_Kitchen & @YelpSanDiego

    Thanks so much for another wonderful Elite Experience, Audrey & Hannah! Sunny Side Kitchen is a healthy and delicious option not too far from home. The service is always incredibly kind, and the ingredients are fresh - top notch. I can't stop thinking about that lemonade! 13/10

    Everything went well! Thank you for a delicious lunch! The 1/2 chicken salad was plenty for a tasty, light lunch. I loved the blue cheese and the almonds! All of the strawberries were delicious and sweet. The watermelon lemonade was refreshing, but a little too sweet for me. This is such a friendly little spot to go to. Staff is friendly. Thank you for having me for lunch!

    Sidewalk menu 8/2025.
    Long D.

    Absolutely delighted. No wonder it's a #3 on US Yelp top 100. Small, clean, fun, efficient and top notch fresh sunny side food. Tables and seats indoor and sidewalk. They are too busy so I couldn't meet Bob. The host greeted me warmly and checked off my name the fresh squeezed watermelon came out quickly. You can taste the freshness joyfully. The half strawberry salad is decent size the sauce is flavorful. Orange is manually fresh squeezed in front of your eyes. Love to see that in the restaurant these days. Thanks sunny side kitchen and Audrey for a better side of the sun. Will definitely come back for other specialties.

    Vanessa C.

    The staff were friendly and made sure I was taken care of. The watermelon lemonade was very refreshing on a summer day. The salad is not something I would order however it was delicious! I was pleasantly surprised. The blue cheese was great on it. It wasn't too crowded too which was nice. Thanks yelp and sunny side!

I have visited SD's…read morefirst Matcha Cafe Maiko location in Kearny Mesa and was aware of the newest shop in Mira Mesa, but I did not realize until I signed up that the business had a presence in Escondido. The suite was in the Plaza Las Palmas which was very busy when I arrived during lunchtime. The inside had a limited seating capacity with fewer tables than the Kearny Mesa spot. For this weeklong promotion, the complimentary offer was a latte drink of choice with a free topping or a soft serve of choice served in a waffle cone or a cup. There were four flavors and two swirls for the soft serve. I asked for the Ube and Vanilla swirl in a cup. Initially, the worker was going to place the product in a standard serving cup. When I told her that I was going to be driving, she changed the cup to a deeper one that normally holds a small size drink. Not only did that make sense, but it was going to be much more convenient for me on the drive back home. As for the frozen treat, the menu photo depicted the ube as a shade of midnight blue. What I received was a more traditional lavender hue. The ube flavor wasn't as strong as I had hoped. The texture of the soft serve was reasonably creamy and didn't melt quickly while I was consuming it in my vehicle. Thank you to the owners of Matcha Cafe Maiko for hosting a Community Experience simultaneously at the Escondido and Mira Mesa locations. Indulging in your soft serve ice cream during this summer heat was certainly a pleasure. Thanks also to Audrey and Yelp North County San Diego for organizing the logistics of this Treat O'Clock experience.

The business was located in a suite next door to a gelato shop, both of which were in this random industrial park. I wonder with its remote location, how much customer traffic it can generate from beyond the neighbors in this complex? Anyway, a bonus was that parking was super easy. Upon entering and checking in with the cashier to mark my name off the magic list, she informed me that each of us had a $15 credit to select anything off the menu. I really loved the flexibility of this offer as it opened up the possibilities. Normally, an Elite promotion is for one or two specified items. The offerings were obviously heavy on chicken, however I noticed some non-chicken grub like crispy shrimp, Filipino spaghetti, a veggie egg roll, and even Belgian waffles. My picks were the two middle entries out of the six in the Specialties section... Chicken & Waffles and Chicken Curry. They conveniently added up to $14.95. The first container had four mini waffles combined with around a dozen pieces of chicken nuggets. A self-service condiments station was available that provided ketchup and four different sauces with clearly marked signage of each name and flavor profile. I used the Golden Chicken Dip for the nuggets to add a sweet and smoky enhancement to the bits of white meat. The second bowl had white rice as a base with chicken, broccoli, and carrots in a curry sauce that was mild in heat and spices. Two slices of yellow pickled daikon (takuan) were included on the side. The mix made for a nice savory snack. Thank you to the owners and staff at Surf Up Chicken for introducing a group of Elites to your eatery. The combination of Asian fusion and Southern-style flavors was unique. Thanks also to Audrey and Yelp North County San Diego for identifying a new local, family-run business to host an Elite Week Event.

But those brews were being served in the garden not the restaurant. However, Maddie one of the managers, was gracious and brought us over the beers we wanted from the Winter Event. So we were able to enjoy the food and their special brews. I started with the Stone Unicorn spiced milk stout. It wad a pretty decent stout with strong notes of coffee. My husband got a tasty Double Bastard Ale. Since we had eaten at Stone before tonight we tried new entrees. We ordered the jhiodri wings to share and I ordered the Moroccan Hanger Steak and he got the Chicken Snitzel. OMG, the wings were FIRE! But in aa good way. Loved the latent hot spice thaat left a long getting burn, the breading was had a wonderful crunch, like a hard tapioca/popcorn something truly delicious. I have no idea what it was but it was amazing! Thoroughly enjoyed my hanger steak with the 2018 Mikhail. Good flavor, cooked to order, and the a artists, broccoli, and mashed potatoes with pistachios were yummy. I cleaned my entire plate! The beer was amazing! Smooth, creamy with coffee, chocolate, and malty notes. With an ABV of 13.5% this was a good beer to end the night. Hubby enjoyed his Schnitzel with Stone's Rumination. Our oldest arrived halfway into our meal (cheap Uber :) so we treated him to a True Craft Burger which he polished off in 5 seconds. Gotta love those those youngsters. LOL We finished up the meal sharing the brownie. It was a huge portion topped with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream, perfect for 3 people.

The servers and baristas were so friendly and amazing! General Manager Jason and Randy were so welcoming! Legend of the Xiao Long Bao. Say no more! It was so nice meeting fellow Yelp Elites Ana, Kat, and Zara. The perfect lunch at an awesome table. Drinks and conversations were flowing throughout the service. Jasmine Tea was light and refreshing. A 2 Hour Yelp Elite Event Menu: We started the Tasting Menu with a Welcome Cocktail: Singapore Sling. Sweet. What a way to kick off! Appetizers: Japanese Cucumber with Minced Garlic & Radish Pastry to tease your palate. Dim Sum: Signature Original XLB Kurobuto Pork Wonton in Chili Oil - My personal Highlight Specialty Dynasty Xiao Long Bao - If you are feeling adventurous!
