Sunshine Breakfast Bar is bright, airy, and new. They had cute St. Patrick's Day decorations and the hostess/waitresses had cute green earrings/necklaces/etc. I attempted to join the waitlist through Yelp multiple times, however, I was not able to. We came on a Sunday around 11:45AM. The direct parking lot was full so we had to park further by the Bagelfeld's. We were quoted a 15 minute wait which was accurate. The time between taking our order and receiving our food was ~45 minutes. It took so long that they offered a complimentary cinnamon roll with vanilla cream icing, which was nice. The table next to us had been seated approximately 5 minutes before us and they ate their entire meal by the time our food came out. Definitely my biggest qualm, and when our food came out, mine came out last several minutes later. The food was mostly fine. The veggie omelet could have used salt. The grits were BLAND. I was disappointed that the ham used in the eggs benedict were 2 thin slices of ham rather than standard, thick Canadian ham. The hollandaise was good. The complimentary cinnamon roll with the vanilla icing was the best. By the time we finished eating around 1PM, it was certainly emptier. Probably a better time to come and actually receive their food within a reasonable period of time. read more

You can't go wrong here with good food at a good price, a clean and bright dining area with friendly and attentive wait staff. Thank you Alyssa. read more

Food and service need great improvement. My party was asked to leave after being there 1 3/4 hour so others could be seated. There was no one waiting to be seated. Avocado toast had to be sent back because avocado tasted bad. Waitress never refilled coffee. We will never go back. read more

The vibes inside were a lot of fun. Open and airy without feeling too loud. The service was great, everyone we encountered seemed happy to be there. The food was delicious!! The blueberry danish pancakes were amazing and I can't wait to go back and try the blueberry bacon pancakes. The only thing I didn't care for was the coffee. It tasted a little bitter and burnt, next time I'll try something different to drink. read more

The service and food were both very good. My veggie omelette was made perfectly. The toast was also perfectly brown. The coffee while hot tasted burnt. The prices are fair for what you get. If I was in the area again I would certainly come back. The ambiance was nice and the restaurant was clean read more

I've visited Sunshine Breakfast Bar on Cave Creek Rd multiple times. I live in Mesa, so it's a bit of a drive, but I would absolutely travel for their biscuits and gravy. Now that there's a Tempe location, I had to check it out. I came in Saturday at 8am to the Sunshine Breakfast Bar location. The service was great. I truly believe everyone was doing their best. Our food came out in a timely manner with no long wait. I ordered the biscuits and gravy, and my husband had the chicken fried steak. Unfortunately, the gravy wasn't quite the same as the Cave Creek location. The consistency seemed a bit "broken" you could see small cracks in it. As it cooled, it started to look almost like frosting sitting on top of the biscuit, and it tasted like it may have had a bit too much flour. It wasn't horrible, just definitely different. I understand that can happen; same recipe, different cook. I did like that they offer the option of thick or thin bacon. The potatoes that came with the chicken fried steak were flavorful and well-seasoned. The ambiance was good different TVs and music but calm to where you can easily hold a conversation. I would give this location another chance, but if I'm really craving those biscuits and gravy, I'd probably still make the drive to Cave Creek. read more

First time here, great selection of breakfast and lunch options. Place is clean, service was good. There is also another Phoenix location.

Excellent! Food was fantastic, service was great and ambiance was inviting, fun and very upscale modern design. I am so happy to find this place. I found our new breakfast spot! And have to try their lunch menu next. Maybe I'll just move in because I liked it that much. read more

We were so happy to have discovered Sunshine Breakfast Bar this weekend--it's an absolute joint! We had an incredible experience thanks to our server, Xena, who was genuinely exceptional and made the whole visit fantastic. Ask for her! The food was generally outstanding. I ordered the All American Breakfast, which came with creamy cheese grits and meaty thick bacon. My wife was raving about her Toasted Coconut French Toast, which was fluffy and perfectly sweet. I did have a minor issue with my eggs when they first came out, but the team quickly and pleasantly addressed it without any fuss. It was fixed immediately, which is all you can ask for! My only complaint, and this is entirely a matter of personal taste, was the coffee. It just wasn't bold enough for me. I tend to like my coffee super dark, like my sole, so if you're a dark roast fanatic, you might find it a little light. Despite the coffee not being to my super-dark preference, and the small egg fix, this place earned a solid four stars because the food quality, ambiance, and especially the service from Xena and the responsive kitchen team were top-notch. We will absolutely be back and look forward to a time when the dog friendly patio is open. read more

We had to wait 10-15 mins when we walked in on a Saturday morning, around 10:30am, which passed pretty quickly. It was adorable inside because they decorated for Valentine's Day, and some staff were wearing pink and dressed all festive :) When we sat down we were greeted by a real friendly server. Me and the two others had just ran a 5k that morning so we were pretty hungry -- I ordered a Chilaquiles with Chorizo (it was soo filling. I finished most of it but it was a lot, which was a good thing since I was hungry), an Omelette, and a Breakfast Burrito (it had ham in it which surprised me a bit, I feel like it's usually a different protein like sausage, bacon, or chorizo). The table already has Tabasco and Cholula, in case you're a spicy sauce fan like me. My friend thought his potatoes on his Omelette plate could have been seasoned more, but he just opted to season it with some salt that was on the table. His sourdough toast wasn't toasted much either, it felt a bit flimsy. Besides that, we were pretty full from the meal. Other things to note: overall service was great, they had some sports games playing on their TVs, the bathroom was a teeny bit cramped for how many people were there that morning, parking was easy, and this place is conveniently located so you can always explore the area. (I personally wasn't too interested in their drink menu, so I decided to go elsewhere for a morning coffee, but the other 2 I was with got their drip coffee, which tasted pretty normal of course). Overall this was a pretty good experience, wasn't crazy about it but I could be curious to come back! read more

I am a fantastic cook, which is a great quality, except when I want to eat out. There simply are not many places where the food comes close to what I can do at home. This has been especially true with chilaquiles and huevos rancheros. In fact, not once has a restaurant been able to make them in a way where the chips stay crunchy and the flavors truly pop... until now. I decided to go with the huevos rancheros. Normally I avoid ordering dishes like this because they rarely live up to expectations, but the photos had me curious. When I eat out, I do so for the experience and to expand my own cooking, so I welcome something new. This dish delivered on every level. The flavors were paired perfectly and built on one another. I could taste each ingredient individually as the bite unfolded. It was an explosion of flavor. The salt and softness of the breakfast potatoes and beans balanced beautifully with the mild flavor and crunch of the chips--yes, actual crunch. The avocado and cream sauce were not just there for color, but added their own distinct dimension. I chose the red sauce, and paired with the chorizo, it provided the perfect level of spice without overwhelming the dish. What made the dish even more special was the pico de gallo. It was added with restraint, just lightly enough that it did not dominate every bite. Instead, every so often, you would encounter it unexpectedly, delivering a bright zing of freshness that elevated that particular bite. It kept the experience dynamic and intentional, ensuring that each bite was slightly different from the last rather than blending into a single uniform flavor. That level of thoughtfulness is rare. And the eggs. Most restaurants cannot even get scrambled eggs right, often overcooking them until they are brown and dry. Not here. They were perfect. My son ordered the pancakes. They were not my personal favorite, but that was simply because they use sweet cream instead of regular cream, and I am sensitive to sweeter flavors. That said, they were clearly well made. The patron next to me had what looked like a blueberry streusel pancake, and it looked absolutely incredible. This is the kind of place you hope to find but rarely do. It delivered not just a meal, but an experience. It is someplace I know I will miss when I return home in a few days. read more

We've been looking to try somewhere new for a while and we've heard nothing but good things about this restaurant. As soon as you walk in, the vibe easily matched the name Sunshine. Greenery around mirrors towards the back of the restaurant makes you feel like you're in a fancy environment without feeling that it's anywhere snooty. Open seating at the bar. Morgan treated us well like we had been coming there since the opening even though it was our first time checking it out. Easily best turkey club sandwich I've ever had anywhere. So hard to find an exceptional turkey club read more

We joined online waitlist and was quoted about 25-40 minute wait and 18th in line. We were seated 28 minutes later. So they definitely get you in quickly. Service was great from host, food runner, and server. Food came out quickly, smelled and looked great. Ordered micheladas. I'd give them a 4/10. Not sure what beer was used but we think coors light. We both got the steak and eggs. The steaks were cooked pretty close MW was a little over done and the MR was perfect. It is two 4 oz medallions. Unfortunately they didn't have much flavor to them. A little bland for us. The cheese grits were also a bit bland. The potatoes were definitely the highlight of the meal seasoned so good and perfect crispy to tender ratio. Meal came with sourdough toast and onion straws both were good. Was a bit pricey $25 for steak and eggs. but we are from Vegas so maybe that is normal here?? read more

The service, the food, the atmosphere, the whole experience was so great. We tried the toasted coconut french toast. I don't care for coconut but I genuinely would have licked the plate clean. The balance on this dish with sweetness and creaminess and crunch was delightful. I got the chicken fried steak with potatoes and my husband got the brisket benedict with grits. He is from the south and said these grits were made incredibly well and he really liked the whipped butter. The benedict was flavorful and rich and the brisket cooked to perfection. We definitely added this into our favorites list and a spot we will return to. read more

Bright, welcoming, and already feeling like it belongs in Tempe's regular breakfast rotation. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere stood out -- high ceilings, warm hanging lights, and seasonal décor that made the space feel lively without being overwhelming. The dining room felt clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully arranged, creating a relaxed sit-down experience that works just as well for a quick breakfast as it does for a slow weekend meal. Service made the experience. Our waitress, Emily, was outstanding -- attentive without hovering, friendly, and clearly focused on getting the details right. Drinks stayed filled, food timing was smooth, and she made the whole visit feel genuinely cared for rather than transactional. The food delivered across the board. The classic breakfast plate hit every comfort note: well-cooked eggs, solid sausage, and biscuits covered in rich, peppery gravy. The eggs Benedict came out properly structured with silky hollandaise and crisped breakfast potatoes on the side. But the standout was the pancakes. Super fluffy with an exquisite cream-cheese topping that honestly didn't even need syrup. Light, soft, and balanced -- the kind of pancakes you immediately regret not ordering the full stack of. That mistake will definitely be corrected next visit. Overall: friendly service, beautiful ambiance, strong execution on classic breakfast favorites, and memorable specialty pancakes. If consistency holds, this place has everything needed to become a true Tempe staple. read more

I tried the southwest scrambler with Havarti cheese and it was so good. I ate the whole thing! They are currently working on their outdoor patio and it is going to be perfect for this time of year.

This is definitely turning into my go to brunch. Great ambiance and their breakfast & pancakes are yummy!

Sunshine was one of the best experiences for a brunch we have had in a long time! The food was outstanding! We had the coconut French toast biscuits and gravy, Eggs Benedict, and waffle! We also order a flight of 4 (Blueberry, Mango, Pomegranate, and Prickly Pear mimosas that turned out to be excellent. We sat at the bar to avoid a 20 minute wait time which turned out to have been 10 minutes but the bar tender was amazing so we opted to stay at the bar for brunch. We also had the coconut mojito and a white chocolate Mocha. The Mojito had a perfect blend of coconut finish and mint. I highly recommend a visit and would recommend calling ahead if you're in a hurry or do not want to wait for a table. The patio also looked amazing but was scheduled to open a day after we went. read more

The ambiance is bright and beautiful. The new remodel is nice and open with natural light. The placement of the bar in the center open is great. The menu is vast and includes lunch and dinner. Options allow for base price and add ons. The biscuits and gravy was my order and it came warm and was good. The scrambled eggs were fluffy and much to my delight! We however had to ask for salt and pepper and wait longer than expected for this service. (Noted no s&p on any tables). The service was inattentive having to ask for all desired services. Prices were similar to other establishments for lunch and breakfast which was fantastic. Parking was a challenge but there is space to the north in the shared parking lot if you can walk. read more
