    This was an awesome place for breakfast! My friends and I met up here around 945a on Sunday. They do not take reservations, and at least half of your party needs to be present to be seated. I really enjoyed the festive patriotic decorations they had up, as well as the high ceilings and natural light. I arrived early, and ordered an iced caramel latte from the bar. Jordan was super nice and helpful. And the coffee was great! When more my friends arrived, we were seated, and our waitress was really nice too. I ended up ordering the Greek omelette with fruit and wheat toast. The omelette was incredible, I loved the Kalamata olives and feta cheese with the eggs, it added a TON of flavor. I'm now inspired to make this at home! Everyone else at my table really liked what they ordered too! When we left around 11, business had definitely picked up, and there was wait to get seated. But, I would definitely eat here again!

    Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

    Whoever named this place - BRAVO!!! This place 100% delivered sunshine to my morning! How long has this place been open, how long have I been missing out on the fluffiest Lemon Ricotta pancakes?! My friend and I literally had to place a second order so we wouldn't have to fight lol! Audrey was our server and she was soo friendly and attentive throughout our meal. She even stopped and chatted with us for a while. The dining area is so bright from natural light and spacious. Love that they have a bar area if guests just wanted a mimosa or a morning boost. We LOVE this place and we'll go back very soon!

    Triple Decker Club Sandwich ~ 3/10. She ended up bringing something else out. Was not tasty

    We ordered a stack just to go. If we return it's because of the pancakes absolutely. Everything else was mid and the cocktails are terrible. Whoever put that menu together please please redo it.

    Cinnamon Roll French Toast

    We came here for Mother's Day! The looks nice and modern! It was so cold for me, but I always get cold in places. I did notice they had a patio. And it was busy, to say the least but not so bad. They seated right away though. And our server was Sydney, she was very nice and attentive! We ordered our food, I got the pancake breakfast it was so good! And my friend ordered meat lovers breakfast and she really enjoyed it!! We did get a cinnamon roll, and it was delicious!! I will say the only reason this place didn't get my full five stars because we ended up waiting a little over 30 minutes to from the time we order to get our food, but we understood with the chaos of it being so busy for Mother's Day. And that's where the cinnamon roll came in as complementary from them. Other than that, it's a great place and I will say I will come back.

    Thin, dry chicken fried steak
    Jimmy S.

    So I decided to give this place a second chance since the first time was not so great. I ordered the chicken fried steak and let me tell you. The chicken was super thin and extremely dry. I ordered grits and English muffin as my side and I got sourdough bread and no grits. The price was on the higher end but what ever on that. I wanted to give them a chance and never again. Honestly I should be refunded but I really don't want to talk to anyone cause it's better not to ever come back

    So festive!

    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.

    Eggs Benedict with cheesy grits
    Carly W.

    We just moved down the street from Sunshine bar and decided to give it a try on a Sunday Morning. We requested a table for two upon arrival and were immediately seated and greeted by a friendly staff member. We ordered some coffee and fresh-squeezed orange juice (which was delicious) and looked over the menu. The menu itself isn't overwhelming and has a good range of entree options. We ordered the Huevos Rancheros, the eggs benedict, and cheesy grits, and they were delivered to us within 10 minutes. The service was fast, the restaurant was clean and bright, and the portions were generous. There is plenty of parking outside and lots of seating inside (outdoor patio, inside dining area, and brunch bar). We will definitely be coming back!

    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.

    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.

    This food was pretty good. Like genuinely one of those meals where you sit there thinking about how sad you're going to be when it's gone. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and really well made. Although, my french toast was raw at first and had to be sent back to get cooked longer. The vibe inside is also absolutely gorgeous. The decor and atmosphere make the whole place feel really trendy, cozy, and aesthetically pleasing without feeling overdone. It's definitely the kind of spot that's fun for a brunch date, girls' day, or just somewhere you want to sit and enjoy for awhile because it's so pretty inside. My only real downside was the service, which honestly felt pretty mediocre and definitely could've been a lot better. Nobody was outright rude, but the attentiveness just wasn't really there, and the overall experience would've felt much more elevated with stronger service. The only other note I have is about the mimosas. We ordered multiple mimosa flights, and at first they came pre-mixed. Unfortunately, they tasted like they were mostly juice with barely any champagne, which was a little disappointing. For the next round, we asked if we could mix them ourselves instead, and they were SO much better that way. Being able to control the ratio made a huge difference, and we enjoyed them a lot more after that.

    5/9/26: three people, three cocktails, three meals. All of us agreed everything was divine and we will definitely return. Parking: fairly substantial lot, but during busy hours do not expect to get a parking spot at the front of the restaurant. Ambiance: bright & colorful inside, well planned design, lots of seating. Service: all the staff waved as everyone walked through the door, we were greeted with smiles, our server (Emily) was very enthusiastic & attentive. Cocktails: breakfast mule, hello sunshine, coconut mojito. Prices as expected, and it was all consumed with a smile. Very tasty, each one. Food: Sunshine pancake breakfast, almond croissant French toast, classic benedict. Pancakes were fluffy, the French toast was light & airy, the benedict was devoured. Absolutely scrump-dili-icious.

    All American Breakfast

    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.

    Biscuits and Gravy
    Roxana S.

    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.

The chips were soggy when I got my food. I liked the red onions, it added a little kick to the food on top of what the food offers to begin with. 6/10 Eggs over medium- not too runny how I like it. Velvety, the eggs weren't burnt crispy and was delightful. Meat was umami, savory and tender. Different than what I expected, had a little kick of spice. Beans were dry and bland. Not very impressed. 3/10 Pancakes were okay. A little dry for my taste but they were fluffy. The syrup with it was tasty. 5/10. I enjoyed this restaurant but I think it was a bit pricey for everything we ordered.

The dinner came with 2 sides, but because it was not 4pm yet they didn't have any baked potatoes ready yet, so country red skins were the next best thing along with the green beans. The potatos were decent, but the green beans were canned and mushy. The salad was lettuce, 2 tomatos, 2 cucumber slices, and some shredded carrots. Their ranch dressing was decent, but I maybe got about a half of a tablespoon. The one thing both of us loved was their cornbread muffins. They were delicious, and I even thought about bringing home some extras because they were that good. The service was quick, but maybe a little too quick.

    We came to Lucky Lou's to spend time with a long time friend of ours. We came here on a Sunday and…read moreno matter how busy they were they seated us pretty quickly at our table. It is a good thing they have a big variety of dishes to order. For me I was feeling a cheese burger and I actually enjoyed my burger. Others ordered a steak and chicken fried steak. All dishes looked pretty good but on this day I was the burger guy. Not a large place but has ample seating for customers. They do have a bar if that is what you are looking for. Today we just wanted to eat and visit and chat. This place is located on Val Vista Road south of Highway 60. I would recommend this place if you are in the area. The service was good and there is ample parking.
