Sunshine Breakfast Bar | Tempe I think I found my new…read morebreakfast obsession! This spot is already at the TOP of my list--and when I say top of my list, I mean I went back the very next day because there was something else on the menu that caught my attention, and I just didn't have enough room to order it the first time! And THAT breakfast item deserves a feature all on its own, so for now, we're starting with sharing my first experience at Sunshine Breakfast Bar in Tempe. Coming from the food industry myself, the very first thing I noticed when I walked through the door was the customer service. And it didn't stop with the person who greeted me. That same level of attentiveness trickled down to everyone working in the restaurant. From the way I was greeted, to being walked through the dining room and seated, to hearing, "Enjoy your breakfast," as I was getting settled--it was the little things. They were attentive to their tables, the time management was on point, and when the food arrived, the quality and presentation stood out. And let's talk about the food! They make fresh croissants in-house daily, and they use sweet cream in place of buttermilk in their waffles. You would NEVER know the difference. That waffle tasted just like the buttermilk waffle I know and love! There are so many dishes between the breakfast and lunch menus that I already know I have some exploring to do. And apparently, I'm doing it FAST because I'll be back again this weekend with family. That's THREE visits in one week. Yeah... I'm hooked. Have you been to this casual breakfast spot yet?

I've been here twice in two months.. the first time I went it was incredible! Loved the lemon…read morericotta pancakes, coffee, and hash browns. The service was great and our waiter was on point, always kept the coffee filled and was really nice. I couldn't wait to come back! The second visit was horrible! It was only maybe half full, slightly busier than the first time I came. The waitress acted like we were burdening her by being there. I ordered the same thing as the first time (why change a great thing?), it was totally different! It took forever for my food to come out, the tables next to us were sat after us received their food before we did... I understand kitchens can back up, but while waiting the waitress NEVER came back, we finished our coffee and we were never offered more. When the food finally did come it was lukewarm and soggy, you could tell it was sitting. When she brought our food, she didn't even offer more coffee, we had to grab her as she was in a hurry to leave our table. I also asked for hot sauce at the same time as a coffee refill that never came. She came over halfway through the meal to finally refill our coffee for the first time, the food was nowhere near the quality of the first time. When she did bring the coffee, she said "oh I forgot the hot sauce, be right back" she never came back except to bring our bill a few moments later before we were done eating.. she made us feel very unwelcome and couldn't wait for us to leave, I'm not sure why... we were (and are always) friendly to waitstaff. 5 star first visit, 1 star second visit... I live close by and was hoping this would be my new go-to brunch place, after how I was treated the second time... sadly I'll find another place, I doubt I'll come back.

We got the Chicken Tinga Nachos as an appetizer and it was a perfect amount for the 4 of us. I got a burger and it was pretty delish. One thing I will say is their sweet potato fries definitely do not taste fresh, I'd guess they are frozen/sysco but what else do ya expect nowadays? We got the s'mores pizookie for dessert and I really enjoyed it. It's baked to order so it takes a little bit but I thought it was worth it. And if that's not your thing, Menchies is right next door and always a treat. Tons of games and such and they even had trivia on the TV. Just a really great neighbourhood spot!

I hadn't been in a while and was craving a burger with a bit of a twist... & yes, I got that here…read more The customer service was on point, as I wasn't totally sure what I really was wanting vs craving. We talked through flavor profiles and combinations as I shared what I was in the mood for. That personal convo and the ability to connect and customize is what make the experience. Ultimately, my burger delivered exactly what I was craving. Everything is made to order, including the fries I got with it. Food was fresh, but I felt the patty & overall sandwich were a tad bit smaller than what I recall. Solid flavor, great service and of course, I'll be back sooner than later.

The jerk spice rub was super unique, I definitely suggest giving it a try if you go. I haven't had a chance to go myself, but the staff told me a little bit about some fun community events that they do. I'll definitely be back! Ps--ABSOLUTELY try the pepperoni wheels

Those were very good. Service was not the best, but then I saw only one gal behind the bar -- and there were quite a few patrons, despite the early hour. Is it worth a return visit? Not for us.

Cocktails were made well, I'd come back and try others. Our friends suggested The Hudson which worked for me, it's been sitting on my list for a while. Bar food was pretty good. Next time I'll try a burger since people like them a lot in reviews, and I love a good burger. This visit we had the carne asada cheesesteak with some onion rings and boneless wings. Both items were good. I think for me, 4 stars seems right since there's an element of having to order at the bar and then come back up if anything is needed. Making it feel somewhat self service but I'm sure we tipped like full service. And at first we were trying to figure out the menu, where to order, and apparently we had a learning curve that night. Brains were tired. We sat outside with the misters at night. That was totally fine. It wasn't one of the nasty hot days.

They gave us amazing service and were very friendly, patient, welcoming, and respectful toward us as Deaf customers. They made communication easy and comfortable, and we felt included, understood, and valued. One of them is a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults), which made the experience even more meaningful! It was wonderful to have someone who understands the Deaf community and Deaf culture. A huge thank you to Emma, Lexi, and Max for helping make our 60th birthday celebration so memorable! Your kindness, positive energy, and excellent service meant so much to all of us. You made our night! We truly appreciate you and will definitely come back!

Friendly, fast, and on top of everything without ever feeling rushed.

If you go, definitely sit at the bar or ask for Zac. He's the kind of person who makes you want to come back.

We ordered a blackberry mojito and pear martini. The mojito wasn't to our taste, so the bartender…read morekindly swapped it for another pear martini. Afterwards, he mentioned that he tasted it and agreed about our comments- I appreciate that level of attention. Shortly after, the food arrived. Spicy pork tacos for me, and BLTA for my wife. The tacos looked a little overdressed. I was so wrong. Flavor and texture were balanced perfectly. The tortillas were firm, but again, perfectly suited to the juicy pork, that had a teriyaki vibe. Sprouts, carrot and cucumber toppings worked well, despite my expectations. The BLTA was HUGE. Great flavor. Both entrees were ordered with sweet potato fries. Unusual cut to them, but seasoned perfectly. I paired mine with chipotle aioli and ate every last one. My only complaint is that I'm only spending one evening in the Phoenix area, and won't be back soon. I would eat this food three times a week without hesitation.

I would say this place is very yummy for people who like healthy food haha!…read more It wasn't my absolute favorite, but it was definitely good for being on the healthier side! I got the strawberry salad as a wrap, which was pretty refreshing. I think next time I'd probably try the pasta instead haha! But the sweet potatoes were deliciously great! The spinach dip was yummy! And the Alex mocktail was SO tart and delicious! It tasted just like those fruity fruit rolls haha! I added a photo because reference! Haha The restaurant was a little smaller, so seating was pretty busy. The girls working were dressed pretty casually in T-shirts and gym shorts. I guess that's the style they're going for? It was a little odd to me, but okay haha! Overall, it was a good place to grab lunch, especially if you're looking for something on the healthier side!

It had a really nice upscale feel while still being relaxed and comfortable. The cocktails were excellent, the food was delicious, and even the music playing overhead was on point. It was the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to sit back, enjoy yourself and keep sipping cocktails. I did have a few but my favorite was the floor is lava, while my wife enjoyed a classic margarita. They also have a really nice kids menu and some great appetizers, so it worked perfectly for our family. Our waiter, Elias, was very nice and told us that Eureka was known for their burgers. Well, he was right! The burger was excellent and those truffle fries with the fresh grated cheese on top were absolutely delicious. You can have your burger cooked to whichever style you like, I like medium myself. I would order both again without hesitation. The service was another highlight. The manager even came out to help bring our food, and you could tell everyone was working together. The entire staff seemed to be in sync, which was really nice to see. This was easily one of my favorite places we visited while in the area. Great food, great cocktails, great atmosphere and excellent service. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would absolutely come back. All I have to say is... Eureka!!

It's always nice coming back and still recognizing some of the same staff, and they're just as great as I remember. A huge shoutout to Felisha especially! She's always incredibly friendly, attentive, and makes sure everything is taken care of. The food is consistently amazing, the drinks always come out great, and the service has always been quick. I've also had nothing but positive experiences with the management here. Eureka has been one of my go-to spots in Tempe since it opened, and it's awesome to see that the quality of the food and the people working here hasn't changed. Definitely deserves some recognition!
