    Check out all of these up-charges
    Greg B.

    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.

    Boozy breakfast

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat on the patio since it wasn't too hot and they have electric shades if needed to block out the sun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restrooms were clean and staff was ok.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    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.

    Came back Sunday on our way home and again completely happy with everything

    Visiting our son, searches for a restaurant that would satisfy everybody's pallet and nutritional needs. [[HIGHLIGHT]]From the moment we were sat down, and reviewed the menu, we felt at home.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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 [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lastly the place was nice decorated, both inside and outside. Misters on to keep you cool in the patio as-well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Huevos Rancheros

    Happened to stumble across this place well out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very lively place!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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!!

    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.

    Eggs benedict with gravy. It was an excellent dish.
    Mr. S.

    Great food. Good servers! The only complaint was the fully limited parking. But they did get us right in to a table! Reserve ahead if you're able.

    Large dining area (with more seating on patio)

    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.

    Super cute way to be greeted!

    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!

    Cinnamon Roll
    Charlie L.

    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.

    Great food and service although at times there is a wait due to their popularity. The lemon ricotta pancakes are to die for.

We shared the Bang Bang Shrimp, a favorite of ours. The flavor was great as always, although this batch seemed to have a little more batter than usual. Not a big issue, just something we noticed. We ordered the lobster sliders to split and they were great. The order comes with three sliders, and each one was generously filled with chunks of lobster. I also loved the addition of diced tomato and avocado, which added texture. The sliders were a good size. We added a side of truffle fries, which unfortunately fell flat. They looked like regular fries and, while they did have some truffle flavor, they were missing the Parmesan cheese and seasoning that typically make truffle fries stand out. They were okay, but a bit disappointing. We had a nice lunch. The only downside was the price. For one appetizer, one lunch entrée, fries, and one cocktail the total came to over $75, which felt a little steep for lunch. That aside we loved the sliders and would order them again and we always order the Bang Bang Shrimp when we're there.
