Would have never tried this very cute place, had my friend not been visiting across town and wanted to meet 1/2-way! Very nice staff, starting from the host, the server, to the food runner. The food was fine, nothing special; hubby had the western omelette and I had Nashville chicken sand. Both were ok but absolutely no flair or exceptional taste. My friend had bacon blueberry pancakes and said they were pretty good. Crazy busy which was nice to see, happy they're successful and I feel their staff is the reason people keep returning. Or that most people are fine with average food! ;) read more

Good service, clean and airy. I had the lemon zest pancakes. Presentation of them was very nice. Pancakes were fluffy. There was lemon curd but I'd have been happier if the pancakes had more of a lemon flavor. My sister's breakfast burrito looked very good I would have that or the croissant sandwich next time. The restaurant was easy to find. Parking was not a problem. read more

I really struggle with Sunshine Breakfast Bar and here's why. The food is always top notch and amazing. What often ruins my experience (like today) is all of the secret up charges. It's not always the wait staff's fault because these are defaults programmed into their POS system when your order is keyed in. Today I was offered to add cheese, onions and peppers to my house potatoes. Take a look at the attached receipt...$3 in total up-charges for a very meager sprinkle of onions and peppers (I wish I had taken a picture of that)! At no time did the waitress disclose the up charge for those items. Same thing with my latte...up charge for making it a vanilla latte. I purposely don't come here as often as I would like to because 80% of time I feel leaving more fleeced by up-charges versus satisfied by the meal. It's really a short term business philosophy if you ask me: short term profits over long term sustainability from happy, loyal, repeat customers returning on a more frequent basis. However, that's the broader theme in our society today...how much $$ can we squeeze (fleece) out of someone. There are so many other good breakfast places that don't employ up-charges to this degree. This place has a local family run feel until you get the bill...then it feels like you're on the opposite side of some shark in a suit working for a private equity firm. As much as I love the food, I'm done punishing myself. Won't be going back. read more

Food was fresh and wonderful. The wait sucks. They were really busy. They wee kid and full of people.

Second time eating here and this place is a gem. I had the blueberry bacon pancakes and those were amazing! I could eat those every day; definitely crave-able as my wife would say. Our server Raya and her sister did a fantastic job. Both were super friendly and took our order within minutes of being sat. Drinks were never below halfway. The place was definitely packed for a Friday morning so you know the food is great. Will definitely be back! read more

Saturday morning visit, first visit. Party of two, no wait outside, but there was a wait inside. The inside was stuffy so we sat outside. The misters made outside seating manageable in August heat. The service was good. The food was ok. The potatoes were lacking flavor. The cheese ratio on the croissant sandwich was overpowering. The middle of the chicken fried steak was overly chewy. It's not a bad option if you're North Phoenix. read more

My mom and I enjoyed a nice breakfast at Sunshine Breakfast Bar. They have quite an extensive menu with all the breakfast items and spirits! I had a mimosa flight. There are so many options for flavors. I got the prickly pear, the blueberry, the mango and the strawberry rose. My favs were blueberry and prickly pear. It is kind of pricey at $20 but it was worth it especially the presentation. Both my mom and I got sweet breakfast. My mom got the pancakes and I got the waffles with strawberries and cream. They do have real maple syrup for an extra $2 and it is not a good amount so that was annoying. The pancakes were average, on the sweet side. The waffle was good and fluffy. The service was also great too and parking was easy. We sat on the patio since it wasn't too hot and they have electric shades if needed to block out the sun. Overall it was pretty good. read more

Given the reviews I was expecting some amazing food and service but to be honest everything was meh. While everything looks beautiful, the flavors were lacking. The French toast was super dry even with all the fruit and whipped cream. The fruit was good and fresh. The coffee tasted burnt and the white chocolate mocha tasted like warm milk. The restrooms were clean and staff was ok. Our waitress just seemed annoyed to be there. With so many other options, I don't think I will return. The burger had little flavor but could use seasoning. read more

Went for breakfast with family member. Service was very good. Got coffee right away. We decided to each get a dish and share. I got the chicken fried steak breakfast. 2 eggs, toast, potatoes, the chicken fried steak tho slightly over cooked was huge and delicious. Loved the sausage gravy on top. Just a huge, too much food. Thank goodness I was giving half up to my sister. She had pancakes. Very large buttermilk pancakes. They too were tasty. A great place for breakfast. read more

My wife and I joined our friends for brunch today, and they suggested the Sunshine Breakfast Bar as a new option. We were able to go onto Yelp to place ourselves on the waitlist in advance, and then we headed out there a bit later with a minimal wait. After checking in with the host stand upon arrival, we found ourselves on the covered patio a few minutes later. The parking, however, was a bit more challenging to find, but the further back we drove in the complex, the more open spaces were there. The Sunshine Breakfast Bar has a nice breakfast/brunch menu and a menu also for those wanting lunch. They are open daily from 7 AM to 2 PM. The restaurant is also now open (or so I think) at a new location in Tempe on Baseline. When signing up for the reward club, we were asked for our birthday; I assume there will be some sort of birthday freebie or deal when the time comes. You can also sign in on their website to learn about offers and see your profile. When I first logged in last night, it said I was a member since 2018, so I'm assuming that this restaurant got its member list from another restaurant at one point since today was my first visit there. The other highlights for our meal today were that we received fast service, the food was very tasty, and they have a dog-friendly patio. I ordered the Classic Pancake which consisted of two sweet cream pancakes topped with butter, syrup on the side, and sprinkled with powdered sugar. My wife ordered a Create Your Own Omelette, which provided us three eggs and a choice of 1 cheese item plus any 3 veggie or meat options. She chose cheddar cheese, tomatoes, and onions. Her meal also came with homestyle potatoes and bakery style sour dough toast. We split both meals in half so that we both could try two dishes. We loved both meals! You can go to https://www.sunshinebreakfastbar.com and enter your e-mail address or phone number on the "Become a VIP" pop-up window. You can also sign up with your Facebook or Google account. Signing up will give you updates on exclusive events, secret menus, special offers/discounts, loyalty rewards & more. Also on the website, you can find their menu, order items online, catering options, another place to join their waitlist, and more. We may just be hooked, so we'll plan on going back again soon! read more

Visiting our son, searches for a restaurant that would satisfy everybody's pallet and nutritional needs. From the moment we were sat down, and reviewed the menu, we felt at home. We have our health, nuts, meat, and potatoes, eaters, and just all around different pallets. This place did not disappoint! From the oatmeal to the brioche French toast, to the chorizo breakfast burrito, and their bacon and egg platter!. Portions were perfect, they did not skimp on the fruits for the oatmeal, orange juice freshly squeezed. Service was great! They were busy we had to join the waitlist, but we're seated without any issues within the time window that the waitlist provided. We loved it so much. We're going back today Sunday before we actually drive back home! Great job to the owners and the staff Kelly was our waitress yesterday and we'll see who we get today. Thank you guys for making our visit a memorable one Im a breakfast guy although my family is not yet we all were happy with choice and quality of food Lastly the place was nice decorated, both inside and outside. Misters on to keep you cool in the patio as-well. read more

It's been year and we came back again for breakfast. We're on the way back to CA. Vanilla Lattes. Kids breakfasts and I had the really good biscuits and gravy, and Anber had the eggs Benedict. She liked it but she likes bacon and sliced tomato on hers. And it was not on the menu. We like this restaurant and will be back again in 2026. Parking is limited. It's a small strip mall. Also something in the restaurant by the kitchen smells of sewer as you Walk to the restrooms now and that's kinda gross., idk why. read more

A couple of years on, this is still my favorite breakfast place. I've settled in a rotation of my favorites. Someone suggests we meet for breakfast, I say let's go to Sunshine. There are a couple of servers here who are phenomenal and I'm willing to wait a little longer to be seated in their sections. Most recent visit was a birthday breakfast and I got a free cinnamon roll which was huge and delicious. It's a bit noisy inside and always bustling so keep that in mind. The decor is cheerful and bright. This place is hoppin' on weekend mornings so plan accordingly. read more

Our sons were playing in a soccer tournament at Reach 11 Sports Complex. We had some time before our flight back home so we opted to look for a breakfast spot. We checked out Yelp and found the Sunshine Breakfast Bar was 5 minutes away! We were impressed from the get-go because it was super busy! Thankfully we only had to wait about 10 minutes. Walking in we noticed what a fun place it seemed to be - upbeat vibe and lots of people! We sat down and were able to order pretty quickly as we had had time to look at the menu beforehand. Everything tasted great! The eggs were cooked perfectly (over hard with the yolks broken), the ham steaks were not too salty and the pancakes were light and fluffy! Not sure if we will ever be back, but mostly because we are from California. Buuut, if we are ever in Phoenix again, we will be sure to stop by the Sunshine Breakfast Bar! read more

Found Sunshine Breakfast Bar while looking for a place to eat near by after an appointment. What a delight! Great breakfast and lunch selections. I had the Avocado BLT with onion rings and my husband had pancakes with eggs and sausage. Both of us fully enjoyed our selections. The sourdough on my sandwich was light grilled/toasted to perfection and the avocado was perfectly ripe. The bacon was crispy but not burnt. The onion rings were fresh and perfect. Completely passes the fresh test! My husband really enjoyed his pancakes. Our server, Dee, was friendly and helpful. The place was full and Dee was busy but she took great care of us. The atmosphere is bright and cheerful and conveniently located near the 101. Definitely will return, already deciding on next meal! It's an hour away from us but well worth the drive! This is a hidden gem! Chef's kiss! read more

Sat on the patio which is fully shaded, which is a blessing in July in Phoenix. It was a little warm at first since the breeze was blowing the misters the wrong direction (rude), but still totally manageable. A fan or two wouldn't hurt, but once the breeze shifted, it actually felt fantastic. Definitely give it a chance, even in the heat. Nathan was our server and he crushed it--friendly, attentive, checked in often without hovering. Basically the kind of server you want everywhere but rarely get. Hello Sunshine - orange vodka, Cointreau, orange juice, Sprite. This one? Orange to the max. Bubbly, bright, citrus-on-citrus love in the best way. Gave Orangina-meets-mimosa vibes, and I would honestly choose this over a mimosa. I could've gone full "drink an entire pitcher to myself" mode. Would sip again. And again. And again. Peanut Butter Espresso - Skrewball, cold brew, whipped cream, chocolate chips, half and half. Dessert in a glass. Thick, rich, chocolatey, and the cold brew was actually solid. But, and this is a peanut butter-sized but, the Skrewball got totally lost. One of our favorite spirits and you'd never know it was in there. A drink having a midlife crisis. Sunshine Signature Bloody Mary - I chose spicy, duh. Went with green chile vodka (again--duh), and it comes decked out with bacon and blue cheese stuffed olives. The chile vodka hit like a freight train... not my favorite. Sent it back for regular vodka with extra heat, and Nathan came through like a hero. Take two was absolutely dialed in--spice, flavor, garnish game were all on point. My only note would be the remake was just a basic bloody, no bacon or blue cheese olives, which I was looking forward to. Not a complaint, just a bummer. Breakfast Mule - cucumber for the husband (as per usual), with ginger beer, lime, and mint. I'm not a cucumber fan and I still liked it. Gave top-tier cucumber lime Gatorade vibes if Gatorade put on a blazer and went to brunch. Light, refreshing, and dangerously easy to drink. Total sleeper hit. If I couldn't get the Hello Sunshine, this would be my second choice. Chicken Fried Steak - two eggs (over hard), homestyle potatoes, and sourdough (we subbed a biscuit and added an over-medium egg for me). Eh. It wasn't terrible, but it didn't live up to the hype. The biscuit was tasty--fluffy and just a little overdone--but the steak and gravy felt like they came from a school cafeteria. Potatoes looked good but phoned it in. Not a single trace of seasoning, though it may have been waved in the general direction of the salt shaker. Menu overall was basic. Nothing wrong with that if you execute well, but it missed the mark. No dish jumped out as worth coming back for. Unless we're already at Costco, this probably isn't a repeat stop. Drinks and service? Great. But food-wise, it was more meh than meal. read more

*Hot Tip* Get on the waitlist as soon as you can here on Yelp and you will be waiting a lot less time. I put my name on the waitlist when we were on our way and by the time we parked and walked over we were next to be seated. The service was perfect. I mean these guys are efficient! The waiter came by with waters, asked for additional drinks and was such a genuine server. No bells and whistles, but polite and professional. I like it. My receipt says Nathan F as his name. The place is small, but has additional outdoor seating to the side. Quaint, I'd call it. Food: Yum. Everything came quickly and hot, the expeditor made sure we had everything before he left, also great service. I ordered the Sunshine Pancake breakfast with the chicken sausage. Great freaking choice. Baby Daddy got the chicken fried steak, and the Munchkins Pancakes for the little one. My eggs were a little runnier than I like, but I'm hard to please when it comes to my egg order, so I gotta try the eggs over medium to see if they can make it. The chicken sausage was tasty, a good little kick to them, but I wish I had tried their regular sausages too. The star of the meal- the gawsh darn pancakes. Baby daddy said it was a little too sweet for him but they were fluffy disks of pure perfection to me. Sweet, a little crisp on the outside but still oh so fluffy! Chicken fried steak was in my baby daddy's words "great." He really enjoyed the sausage gravy, and he rarely finds a tasty breakfast gravy. The kids meal was okay. It had a strip of bacon, pancakes and choice of drink. She chose chocolate milk. Highly recommend. read more

We decided to try a different spot for brunch than our usual spot and were not disappointed! There was a wait for a regular table but we are able to be seated at the bar right away where Ky, the bartender, greeted us happily. I got a prickly pear mule and my friend got a espresso martini, creamy at Ky's suggestion. Both of our drinks were fantastic and hit the spot. My friend really loved the martini with Ky's creamy twist. I got the croissant sandwich with bacon and home style potatoes and my friend got the sunshine bowl. My sandwich was really good with a fluffy (though flat) croissant with perfectly cooked eggs and crispy bacon with melted cheese. The potatoes were fantastic! Best potatoes I've had since Carnival cruise lines. My friend also really loved her power bowl and ate every bite of it. Loved Ky, the food, and the drinks. We'll definitely be back! read more

I think Boerne has found a keeper in "Sunny's". We were greeted with friendly faces and quickly seated. The service was exceptional throughout our whole dining experience. We even had the manager stop at our table to introduce herself which was an added bonus. The food was fresh, innovative and they offered many healthy, tasty menu choices. We couldn't have been more pleased with our 1st time to Sunny's and can only hope they keep up the great vibe and dishing out terrific plates.

Service was great despite it being busy. The food was amazing. The Briskett Benedict was very good as was the avacado toast and bacon. The banana pancakes short stack was a nice side.

Sunshine is worth more than 5/5 stars! If I could give higher I would! Do not sleep on this breakfast gem! WOW! My husband and I had Sunshine this morning and were blown away. First of all: clean and friendly environment, modern and casual vibes, and fast (and friendly) service! Second, the food: WOW. We would have licked our plates if it wasn't seen as inappropriate behavior. We ordered: classic eggs Benedict, avocado toast with eggs, and blueberry granola pancakes (side). - Eggs Bene: All of these dishes are incredible but we must share that these eggs Benedict are the best we've had! I order eggs bene quite often, I'm a fan of them and even the option of Benedict's and the flavor of this one is the best! Even my husband, not a frequent bene person asked for more bites! The sauce is perfect, not too thick, runny, or bland, and the thinly sliced ham and perfectly poached egg was all balanced so well (ratio-wise). - House potatoes, MUST! They're like breakfast scalloped potatoes with such great seasoning and crispy edges. Great version of breakfast potatoes. - Pancakes were balanced well, light, and full of flavor! And the Avocado toast was so fresh as satisfying. In the end, we have a lot of great breakfast options in the valley, but do not sleep on this one! So good. Can't wait to go back and try something else!! SLEEPER PICK = SUNSHINE BREKI BAR! read more

Morning after brunch with the girls didnt disappoint. The menu has so much so we ordered a few things to share. French toast, waffles, pancakes, sausage and gravy. Everyone loved the meal! We sat outside and enjoyed chatting it up and drinking breakfast cocktails and coffees, matcha. All the food was hot and fresh, and with so many of us ordering we were pleasantly surprised that all the orders were accurate. Staff was super friendly and helpful. She made a few recommendations and we went with it. The menu has options for everyone so if you worried about your picky friends/family, they are bound to find something they like here. We were seated pretty quickly and the food came out within a decent time frame. We arent from PHX but we definitely would recommend. read more

First time I came here it was really good. I had no complaints. The second time I came. The food was still good, but they were out of potatoes. then this time I come, they tell me they don't have egg whites and in order to make me egg whites even though they have shelled eggs they have to crack 15 eggs to give me two egg whites cause they pre-prep, which is strange because you're a breakfast place you should be able to give people egg whites I think this is probably gonna be the last time that I come here unless they have a different location. read more

Sunshine Breakfast Bar - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I love this place because its close to my house and they have very good breakfast and bruch options! They are located on a corner spot in a shopping center close to the 101 freeway onramp. It is not a huge place but they comfortably squeeze in maybe 15 tables inside the restaurant but they also have a nice covered outdoor patio as well that has another 8-10 tables. That being said, this place gets busy. Its a favorite breakfast haunt for many people that live and work in this area (just north of PV near the 101 freeway). There are a few reasons why I love this place...The food is fantastic especially if you love breakfast/brunch as much as I do! The restaurant is clean and comfortable. And...the the service is always good. Not everyplace is perfect so I would warn you...this place gets really busy as it gets later in the morning. Because it's not very big you may want to sign up for their waitlist on the Yelp app. I would also mention these aint no Denny's prices, LOL! Generally speaking the prices range between average and slightly above average. For 2 people I normally end up paying more than $50 after adding soft drinks and gratuity. But it should also be noted that their meals are much higher quality than a Denny's grand-slam too. I would love to see some coupons or specials every now and then to ease the pain of paying prices like this for everyday staples like bacon, eggs and pancakes. In their defense, I feel like this about all restaurants these days so there is that... In summary this is a great little breakfast spot that is a perennial favorite among locals. Definitely worth trying and worth returning to as well in my humble opinion. read more

I was excited to try Sunshine Breakfast after the incredible reviews and a great menu. Unfortunately the food was pretty disappointing. We ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes and Greek avocado toast - they had a lot of great reviews so we thought we couldn't go wrong. The pancakes were dry and lacked flavor. The lemon curd was ok but really sweet, almost like a cake frosting and the large shavings of lemon zest are not edible. We kept trying to pick them out because you cannot chew lemon rind when the pieces are that size but often ended up having to spit them out - not the greatest experience. The whipped cream dollop was delicious, that was the only positive. The Greek avocado toast was meh. Picture an overdressed Greek salad loaded on top of watery guacamole served on bread. It was too slimy and tasted like a Greek salad. Last. When I opened my napkin wrapped silverware the knife was used and filthy with food still stuck to it. The booth seat had spilled oatmeal all over it and I needed to ask for a rag to wipe it down before we could sit down. The service was great. The ambiance was perfect for a breakfast spot and they have a great menu. Some big misses on execution. I won't be back. read more
