Solid food served quick and with a smile. Great onion rings. Love their breakfast. Lots of options for lunch too. read more

I can't believe I slept on this place for so long. I've only recently started coming here more often, and somehow I keep ordering the same thing every time because it's just that consistently good. The breakfast croissant sandwich is my go to. The menu is actually huge and feels never ending, which makes this spot perfect for groups since there's truly something for everyone. They're also great about customizing orders, which I always appreciate. The quality is on point. The croissant is never soggy, always fluffy, soft, and perfectly flaky on the outside. Inside, you get fluffy eggs with melted American cheese, fresh avocado slices, and just a touch of mayo. It comes with bacon, but I usually swap it for apple chicken sausage and they have no problem accommodating. There's plenty of indoor seating plus outdoor tables if you want to sit and people watch. Service is friendly, efficient, and welcoming. Overall, such a solid breakfast spot that I'll definitely keep coming back to. read more

It's a decent sized restaurant in the middle of Main St. I was seated quickly, though it took a bit for someone to get back to me. This happened the first time I ate here, as well. I ordered the breakfast sandwich which is bacon, eggs & cheese on a very large croissant that looked like it had been squished in a bag. Tasty though. read more

Our waitress was sweet and so very attentive and very helpful. The place can use a bit of dressing up as far as making it cuter. I had the classic club which was very good. It could've had more bacon though . My friend had the burger and really enjoyed it. Will definitely return. read more

Sebastopol Sunshine Cafe - Classic Turkey Club Sandwich. I added avocado and had fries. Very good but could've used another piece of bacon. - American Near Me - Sebastopol, California

Great value, consistent food. Yummy and varied milkshakes, I love the Butterfinger shake! Had the Country Sausage breakfast with cheddar scrambled eggs and hashbrowns. Ordered a side of biscuits and gravy. Country Sausage looked and tasted like someone shaped them and cooked them at the restaurant, not the frozen sausage disks you find most places. Only disappointment for ne was the sausage gravy. Had a powder/canned premade taste. Its not that hard to make sausage gravy. read more

This place is a little out of our way (we're in Santa Rosa) but anytime we're in Sebastopol and want something casual, Sunshine is an easy choice. Typically we go for breakfast, which has always been great, but today we were there around lunch time. Hubby ordered the Reuben sandwich (corned beef on rye bread with Swiss cheese, thousand island, and sauerkraut) and I chose the Sebastopol sandwich (roasted turkey, applewood smoked bacon, pepperjack cheese, pesto aoili, avocado, lettuce, and tomato on a French roll). We opted for a side salad but you can also choose from several of their other yummy sides like garlic fries or onion rings. Both sandwiches, we agreed, were very flavorful and fresh. I would absolutely order that Sebastopol sandwich again. Great food, great service. I love all the local artwork that adorns the walls (that's also available for purchase). They have a very large menu that's sure to please most everyone. read more

I have been for breakfast a few times. Food is always decent, standard eggs, bacon, hash browns. Today the elderly woman waiting on me was shockingly rude, like I thought I might be on a prank show or something. Either she was having a terrible day, or she does not have the personality disposition for the job. Prior to this, I have received very good service. read more

We're leaving the area today and drove around randomly looking for breakfast. We drove past this and decided to stop in. It's got nice atmosphere and the prices are a little better than we've seen in the area. Somebody must be psychic because about 5 minutes after we ordered, the food appeared at our table, as if they knew what we were going to order. Granted, it was 8:00 a.m. on a Sunday and the crowd is light. My breakfast sandwich was delicious. Her Main Street special included pancakes with a nice tinge of cinnamon. As I said this was one of the more reasonable priced meals over our weekend trip. read more

Absolutely fantastic breakdown! Came here with a buddy of mine, it was I nice morning so we decided to eat outside. Our waiter was very friendly and quickly got our drinks ordered, great Ice Tea. Now when ever I go to breakfast I get one of two things, either chicken fried steak or eggs Benedict. When I saw that they have combined both in one dish I knew what had to be done. My breakfast was the best I've had in a long time, every bite was as good as the last. The hash browns were also cooked perfectly. If you haven't eaten here yet, do yourself a favor and enjoy really good food! read more

One of my local favorites for breakfast or lunch. Good food, great service, reasonable prices. Real meat in their burgers, not like fast food places. read more

The good: quick service, really great mazapán milkshake, refried beans, good prices The mid: scrambled eggs The bad: the chilaquiles were in a sauce that was way more tomato than chili, a distinctly marinara vibe :/ read more

Flavorful food, great portions, and friendly service. Everything a diner should be! Not too fancy, and not too simple - it's the perfect in between. Classic charm inside, too. Great for families, friend groups, and more. read more

I would call it a tolerance not an experience. Presidents Day holiday could be a little of the issue, we were a party of 10, they weren't really busy or full when we arrived said it would be 15-20 minutes to put a table together, no problem, they seat us after that time and then we wait another 10-15 to take our order, order taken, 30 minutes and still no food or water refills, trying to be patient! Food finally, chicken fried steak was terrible, it's a breaded meat patty, the gravy was what I call "see through", get the idea, the egg dishes we had were just eggs, nothing special, best part was the junior breakfast with pancakes for our 3 year old. It is clean enough but only an old physical plant in downtown Sebastopol with too many tables and not enough help. It was brightly lit. There are other places to try in town. read more

We went to Sunshine Cafe to celebrate my moms birthday, there were 5 of us. When the order was brought out it wasnt brought out all at once infact my aunt had to wait at least 5 min to get her order. The food was okay. The service was terrible, after we got our food we didnt see her again until we were done eating. My cousins boyfriend was almost done with his when he found a hair in his refried beans. He called over the waitress and showed her, we wanted her to see it so they would be aware and hopefully it wouldnt happen to anyone else. About 10 min later the owner came to our table and said this is a blonde hair and nobody in my kitchen is blonde, implying that we put the hair in our own food! He was rude and never apologized. We will never go back there, their customer service is terrible! read more

Food is delicious like good home cooked. I got the last fresh carrot house of the day, I get half carrot, half orange. That's about 8 dollars. You can customize anything. Excellent avocado toast, pancakes, and skillet fries. Service is attentive and accommodating. Fair prices read more

Love this place. My favorite breakfast in Sebastopol. Always good. Staff always caring and friendly. Took my granddaughter and her friend here for breakfast a couple weeks ago. So good I've been back twice since then. Light and bright, clean, and consistently great food. I like the breakfast special with the pancakes. One of the things I love the most is you never have to ask for extra crispy hash browns because they're always cooked perfectly. Their pancakes are incredible too. I'm always happy with whatever i order from here. So good. Btw, they have fresh carrot orange juice daily. Excellent. read more

Service and food were fair... BUT...the food was served luke warm at best for all three meals. The restaurant spends TOO MUCH time and energy on Door Dash and thus lets the "in restaurant" diner's food sit and get cold. Cold waffle and cold Benedicts. And the syrup is not heated, served at room temperature. This place is a pass on the next outing to Sebastopol. read more

One of my favorites. We go mostly early in the morning and always a nice experience with good coffee.

This establishment is most deserving of a 5 star rating. Food was nicely prepared and delivered. Service was excellent, far better than most these days. I had the Belgian Waffle with Strawberries, which was excellent. My bride had Veggie Omelet, which I tried. Equally excellent along with the mixed fruit. read more

Just great!! Went for a late breakfast. Definitely the best. Service was attentive and quick. The ambiance is comforting. read more

The fresh squeezed Oj alone is a hit but the service is and the eggs Benedict make it memorable! Love the cozy vibes as well.

Driving through town and decided to stop for some breakfast. This place is great. The service was fast and friendly. The breakfast menu is huge. I went with the 2 eggs, 2 bacon, hash browns and 2 pancakes! It was all great! It kept me going for the rest of the day! read more

Cute brunch spot in Sebastopol. The menu has a huge variety of options, from omelettes to crepes to burgers! The serving size was great for the price and the service itself was wonderful. The milkshake was the perfect consistency, but I wished it was colder. Overall, the food was great and I would come back again. [One thing that was bothering me the entire meal was the amount of flies in the cafe, so beware of that because the cafe has their front opening open throughout the day.] read more

Decided to try the Sunshine Café for the first time. All the seats outside were taken so we went inside. The hostess took us into the adjoining dining room, which I found to be stuffy and hot so I asked if we could sit in the front dining area. She politely allowed us to change our seats. We ordered the Sebastopol Sandwich which was a turkey, bacon, jack cheese, avocado, lettuce, tomato on a roll with fries, the chorizo con huevos plate which came with hash browns, tortillas, salsa and sour cream. The eggs were scrambled with mild chorizo. I ordered the fish wrap and fries. The fish was chopped up and overcooked. I picked out a piece that I thought was plastic because it was quite hard, but realized that it was fish. The fries were excellent and hot. Food came quickly and the servers were very pleasant. This was our daughter's third time to the Sunshine Café and she said her Sebastopol Sandwich was her favorite out of the three visits. This was a good first experience for me at this popular downtown eatery and there are several dishes I would like to try on my return visit. Parking on Main Street is challenging. There is a public parking lot kitty corner to the restaurant and there is street parking around the corner, limited to 2 hours Monday - Saturday. read more

Friendly little bfast place along downtown convenient to everything. Wonderful variety - not just a first meal of the day kinda place. Partook in the tritip scramble - really a shaved steak offering - as well as the tuna salad. Both were large offerings and tasty as well. The latter was white albacore which was preferred by that member of the party. Prices were very reasonable especially given the location. read more

Poor service. Expensive for the quality of the food. Food was cold and had to ask constantly for coffee refills.

It's the perfect place for a family friendly, down to earth meal. I love that it's Latino owned and operated and they are super accommodating. Hearty servings and great pricing read more

I've been here once before. It's definitely a local hangout. It may say to wait to be seated, but when there is only one waitress, seat yourself. I was amazed she was able to handle setving 10 tables in different rooms by herself. The food is typical diner style and reasonably priced. It was mediocre flavored food. It's conveniently located in downtown. Sorry, but I think my regular breakfast spot will be Hole in the Wall for now. read more

My daughter and I had a great meal here. It was a last minute decision as they were going to be closing in 30 mins so we felt bad coming in so late but Esmerelda said 'no problem' and would serve us our two meals. We ordered to go and it was delicious. I had the chicken fried steak and my daughter had the farmer's burger with the onion rings. We really appreciated the quick service also. We will come back for sure hen we were not in a rush and it being so late. It will be busy this weekend with the Apple Blossom fair so we will go in when it isnot so crazy here in our town. Bon appetit. read more

My mother recommended that we come here and she said that my late father used to love the patty melt and french fries or maybe it was garlic french fries? I ended up having the Reuben sandwich in my companion had the patty melt. But he just had to have the onion rings. He said they were fantastic and I had to agree they were very very good. My Reuben sandwich was great, just slathered with sauce and grilled to perfection with very good tasting corned beef. They have such a wide range on their menu it's just awesome. And their prices are so affordable! It's amazing in this day and age when everything just seems to be going up and up. They somehow provide absolutely tasty and fantastic food, and provide a very enjoyable experience. You can dine inside in the dining coffee shop atmosphere, or if you prefer outside dining they have tables with umbrellas outdoors Street side so you can watch people as they walk by and enjoy the fresh air. Our server was I think one of the owners actually and she was so friendly and accommodating and she explained Each of the specials of the day. We did end up taking home a sample for my mother. She ended up ordering a patty melt and onion rings the next day to go and she said that they were the best onion rings she has ever had! She should know she's such a foodie!! Do not miss this place, your heart and your mouth will be full of sunshine from the Sunshine Café. read more

I've probably been here only five times cause I don't live that close. I love that they have gluten-free bread so I was able to have French toast with my bacon. BTW, the bacon is always spot on. So many places now have country potatoes, which I hate, these guys have real hashbrowns. I've been there twice in the last three weeks and the hashbrowns were cooked crispy the first time and just cooked OK the second. Still, I will be back, but I will make sure I say crispy hashbrowns. My server the first time in this set of visits was great, the second time definitely had attitude. The place is cute and comfy and I can usually find parking at the lot across the street. read more

This is hands down my favorite spot on all of Sebastopol. I know there are a ton of good places to go here but for my time and money, I eat out at Sunshine about 1/4 of the time! The owners are amazing - and will be serving and making your food, too! I love the relaxed atmosphere (RIP the parklet) and the hearty, delicious food. There's classic diner breakfast, lunch and dinner options along with crepes, some Mexican specialties and a slew of adult beverage offerings. The price is right and the food and service are 100% reliably good. I can't recommend this place enough, do yourself a favor and go here!!! read more
