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.
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.
I love the Sunshine breakfast Bar! The service is always top notch, everyone smiles, makes eye contact, and speaks. The food is always fresh with beautiful plating. These photo I posted are unedited because the natural light just spills into the restaurant so perfectly. 10/10
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.
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.
Susie was our server on Sunday and she was so very kind and efficient. The wait to be seated was long but totally worth it! The food was incredible and didn't take long at all to get our order. The hostesses were very kind as well. The restaurant was clean and the vibe was good. Really appreciated the service environment and good food.
Happened to stumble across this place well out. Very lively place!! Started with the Lemon Ricotta pancakes, looked super tasty, but the flavor and texture of pancake wasn't for me. Ordered the Huevos Rancheros without chorizo. This was so hearty!! I loved it!!
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.
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.
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!
Been multiple times. Got food. Coffee and drinks are amazing. They have indoor and outdoor seating with misters/fans. The servers are friendly, check back on you and prompt. Hard to beat that. The inside is a bright color. Booth or 1/2 booths with chairs.
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.
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.

Sunshine Breakfast Bar is a cute little breakfast brunch bar located on Cave Creek rd just north of the 101. It's popular and gets busy, so join the online waitlist before you go. I really enjoyed my chicken fried steak with a refreshing breakfast mule. For some reason, the sourdough toast is extra delicious! read more

7months pregnant and got a random craving for French toast on a random Monday morning during the middle of AZ heat They have a shaded dog friendly patio which I loved bc I had my girl with me and they had a cart stationed to give water and stuff to dogs. My food was amazing, the patio was clean and the server was so attentive & friendly. Food didn't take long at all but I was also the only one there on the patio and it didn't seem busy inside. It was a lovely peaceful morning, I ate my food and left before the heat got intense. Can't wait to come back and try the mimosas flight read more

Awesome service and cute little patio! My mom, newborn son, and I came here today for some breakfast and to enjoy the nice weather! They were super accommodating to us and making sure we had enough space for the carrier and weren't in the sun. I got an oat milk mocha to start. It was really light in color but tasted good, though I couldn't really taste the espresso much. For our meals I got the huevos rancheros without eggs or chorizo, and my mom got eggs, bacon, and gluten free toast. Good was ready fast and portions were a good size, we both had leftovers! Only complaint was that my food was slightly cold, like the cheese was not even melted. They have a big menu here, lots to choose from. The breakfast cocktails look good too. Would come back for sure! read more

Nice patio spot for breakfast or lunch. They do serve cocktails and specialty coffees along with several options for breakfast including "fancy pancakes", omelette or scramble options, several types of Benedict's as well as regular breakfast options. The service is good and efficient but not very welcoming but maybe we hit it on an off day. We were the only patrons for the hour we were there so that was strange. read more

What a joke!!! Nice place and good service BUT...I ordered a triple decker club sandwich. I asked for all turkey instead of turkey and ham and also no cheese. I got the 3 pieces of bread, with only a lettuce leaf and skimpy piece of tomato where the ham would have been and more turkey should have been. Not only that, there was so little of anything on the sandwich that it wasn't worth half of the $18 charge...I'm one and done with this place!!!! RIP OFF here is a photo of a quarter piece of the sandwich after I took out the 3rd piece of bread and used a spoon for size reference. read more

The place is clean and has a light, bright decor. Our service was very good. Our server was friendly and attentive. Our food came out super fast. Too fast because some of my food was undercooked. I had the All American. The eggs were undercooked. I ordered them over medium but the white was runny and way undercooked. The breakfast potatoes are cut and tasted like undercooked au Gratin potatoes. The toast was good but very dry and could have used more butter. The bacon was cooked nicely and very flavorful. My dining partner said the biscuits and gravy were delicious. The biscuit was cooked perfectly and not dry. His potatoes were also undercooked. The drinks were very weak and lacked some flavor. Service alone would have been 5 stars but the food and cocktails were lacking. read more

Food was great. Everything came out hotel! Coffee is really good. The service was amazing! I highly recommend stopping in. Indoor and outdoor seating which is a huge plus! The only thing I could complain about is the chicken fried steak. It was very thin and over cooked but the flavor was still really good. I totally recommend this place! read more

Sunshine Breakfast is a lovely place for breakfast or lunch. It is clean and bright, very homey and cheerfully decorated! The servers are very attentive and helpful. The food is good, unlike many places where you get an unnecessary amount of food, the helpings are smaller. The prices are a little higher than I expected, not crazy but two breakfasts for $40 was a bit higher than we expected. read more

We had breakfast here on a recent visit to Scottsdale. They were crowded and it was pretty loud, but service was friend efficient- coffee topped off often. I had the Banana Pecan Caramel Pancakes - 2 banana pecan pancakes topped with chopped pecans and bananas in caramel sauce, drizzled with vanilla and caramel sauce. (syrup upon request) .... Your mouth's watering, isn't it?... Highly recommend wearing stretchy britches and enjoying every bite! read more
