Just got done eating here and it was hands down one of the best places to get breakfast! The eggs Benedict was amazing and the hospitality was the cherry on top! I highly recommend stopping by! read more

You know will not be going away hungry when your breakfast comes out on two plates. Great Chicken fried steak. Home made gravy. The Eggs Benedict was also a winner. Will be back! read more

This was my first visit to the Sunshine Cafe in Sequim . . . and it's guaranteed to be my last. I ordered the chicken sandwich, grilled, off the lunch menu, which is listed as a house specialty, and my wife ordered the "Gigi's scramble" (scrambled eggs with tomatoes and mushrooms with hash browns and bacon, along with a cup of clam chowder. We both had a raspberry lemonade to drink. All of this together (2 entree dishes with sides, 1 soup, and 2 drinks) came out to over $40.00, a ridiculous price for what we got, but we'll get to that in a minute. I am honest to God perplexed as to why people are giving this restaurant 4 and 5 stars. I see these reviews and wonder to myself "What are you people so happy with?" The clam chowder came out first, which we both tried and came out with a better taste than some other places in the area, but still far too thin. Soon after came the main dishes - the chicken sandwich that I had was (and I am not kidding) a Jack in the Box grilled chicken sandwich, right down to the prepackaged frozen fries on the side. Oily, fatty chicken with lettuce and tomato that were NOT fresh on a fast food burger bun. I swear to you, I could go to Jack in the Box, get a grilled chicken sandwich and fries and put it next to Sunshine Cafe's and it would be the SAME. DAMN. THING. The scrambled eggs were watery and tasteless, the hash browns were uncooked on the inside, and all of the butter that should have been used for cooking the dishes was slopped on the inside of the toast on the side of the dish. The ONLY part of the dish that could be considered passable was the bacon. While eating through the dishes, a single word kept coming from both of our mouths - "damn." The chef cooking the food is another serious point of contention. From the time we walked in to the time we left, all the way through making our meals and everyone else's, I think that this man had confused himself for a damn cow. Chewing, chewing, and chewing, it brings the Violet Beauregarde Oompa Loompa song (..."but it's repulsive, revolting, and wrong - chewing and chewing all day long . . . the way that a cow does") to mind while watching him, blowing bubbles and chomping while preparing our dishes and giving them to the waitresses. My back was to the chef, so I did not see him until we got up to leave, but it made me feel sick to my stomach to know that this person's MAN SPIT was all over my food. We actually had to leave after our meal, and go to ANOTHER restaurant down the road to actually get something good to eat to get the taste out of our mouths from the crap that we received from the Crapshine Cafe. The owner of THAT restaurant shares the same fryer oil depository as the Sunshine and is consistently disgusted by the quality of their oil and the quality of their food. He actually grimaced when we told him that we just came from the Sunshine Cafe. It's the kind of place that Gordon Ramsay should have done on Kitchen Nightmares and ripped a new one to, screaming and ranting in the kitchen while diners are in the dining room hearing about how the kitchen is utter crap. In short, after much consideration, we have decided not to endorse this restaurant or return again. read more

Everything we've had has been very fresh and tasted delicious, and the prices are reasonable. We loved the updated atmosphere, and as parents, appreciated the shelf full of books and toys to entertain small kids, which is tastefully integrated into the decor. Good service, good food, good vibes--highly recommend! read more

Ate here on a busy weekend, but staff was still very attentive and friendly. I had the biscuits and gravy and a cup of coffee. All very good. If they offer you the peanut butter cookie, please, order it. So good! It was also nice to see that the patrons were interacting with each other instead of seeing a bunch of faces looking down at their phones. Would definitely like to come back here. read more

The food here is fantastic! We came here a couple times while in town and had a fantastic experience both times. The food is delicious, servers are friendly, the restaurant is clean, and the atmosphere is inviting. We ordered off the breakfast menu and it was the best breakfast we had had in a long time. If you are looking for a good place to brunch, I highly recommend Sunshine Cafe. read more

This is the best cafe in Sequim. Allen and Dianne , the owners cook, serve and treat every person who comes in like family. The food is outstanding. It is healthy, full of flavor and it is evident they use local and fresh produce and meats. The steak breakfast was awesome:) Gigi and Alexis are the sweetest, friendliest and best waitresses around. They have watched out for my father in law over the years and I can't say enough about them all. Great job Sunshine Cafe!! 5 stars hands down!! read more

Sunshine Cafe and Bar - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sequim, Washington

The standard bacon, eggs, and hash browns breakfast was worthy of four stars. I typically wouldn't downgrade the overall rating based on slow service but the restaurant wasn't overly busy (we were seated immediately) and the extremely long wait was never addressed or apologized for by either of the staff members who served our table. There also wasn't much accommodation for the 3 month old infant with us. I'd definitely recommend the food, just don't expect to timely or friendly service. read more

The owner is really sweet and she served us. I find it really great when an owner is hands on with their business. The chicken fried steak was amazing! Perfectly smooth gravy and meat cooked to perfection. The restaurant was clean and well decorated. The bathroom was also nice and clean. It is conveniently located in Sequim downtown where all the neat little gift shops are. The only downside was the price. It was a bit high compared to the other breakfast places in town. read more

Labor day weekend, 2:30 pm on main street Sequim. Six hungry people after 2-4 hours' drive, looking for something other than squash from the farmers' market to feed on. Most places were either mobbed or closed for nap. Sunshine cafe was neither. A smiling waitress welcomed us with warm and hugging informal hospitality, including honest recommendations about menu items. Eventually, all 6 of us got the food we'd been craving, everyone were very happy with what they got. I had "gold miners'" sandwich - roast beef with fried mushrooms over sour dough bread - that was one YUMMY sandwich! portions were generous, bill was modest. What more could one ask for from a place? We all thought it was great. read more

We were here this past weekend for Lavender Fest. We decided we hadn't ate enough and the smells of sloppy burgers lured us to the Sunshine Cafe. It was packed but we got lucky and got a table for 4 right away. Our server was a kick in the pants! The food was very good. I got a cheeseburger and sweet potato fries A++. Others at my table got a french dip, salad w/lavender vinaigrette (omg so good), turkey barley soup, and an omelet. All agreed their food was excellent. I sampled the soup which was heavenly. I'll be back next year during Lavender Fest! read more

They just finished a remodel. Looks light and clean. We enjoyed both our orders. Lots of ham in my Monte Cristo. The Fish and Chips were great. The fish, done but not dry. Crispy. Both type of frys were plentiful, crispy and tasty. Fair price. Friendly and attentive service read more

WOW loved this homemade food at sunshine cafe. Visited a friend in Sequim and she took us there for a quick lunch-break before we headed out for the lighthouse hike. At our table we had spinach salads, tomato soup, clam chowder, caesars, club sandwiches, fish and chips, and waffles. Everything was fantastic, fresh, and delivered quickly by a friendly and knowledgeable waitress. They were happy to accommodate a large group, and helped us set up a baby station. Loved the old style diner feel, and the homemade ethics. I will definitely visit again. read more

This place is charming. We stopped in for breakfast and were not disappointed. Their biscuits with sausage gravy was very good. A nice place to start off your day. read more

The German sausage with the "Pig Out" was delicious, as is their thick cut bacon. The waitress who helped us was a lot of fun to talk with and the meal was better than expected. I highly recommend this place for a good meal when passing through the area. read more

My wife and I stopped in for a quick bite before we got on the ferry to Victoria BC. This was one of the most delicious eggs benedict breakfast I've ever had! Trust me I like to eat. You won't be disappointed and I've heard that their chicken fried steak is the bomb. Eat here! read more

Really enjoy their breakfasts & lunches. Cinnamon roll and coffee! Today I enjoyed their eggs bennies.

Nice place, homey, friendly service. Mushroom burger was good, blackberry pie and homemade cinnamon rolls were quite tasty. Total for 4 was $60. read more

Eggs Benedict was great! Everyone was very pleased with their meals. Staff was super friendly. Stop by for breakfast for sure!

The Sunshine Cafe was an old business when my folks moved to Sequim in 1957 and was in the building that housed the old Dresden Theatre (now retail space). I never ate there, however, as my folks were frugal and didn't eat out much. Although I was gone from Sequim for many years, I returned when I retired and discovered the Sunshine Cafe was not only still here, but it is a treasure. The food is consistently good and has all the sort of things that old-time lunch counters used to offer. Our favorite 'wait-person' is Gigi - great sense of humor and never fails to please. A friendly 'down home' kind of place that will make you want to return. We love the Sunshine Cafe! read more

Best biscuits and gravy in town. Love this quaint little restaurant right in town. Sometimes have to park and walk here, but that doesn't bother me. Small restaurant, kind of a tight fit but the food makes it worth it. read more

Love this place especially the owners and staff. We love taking our young son here for breakfast on the weekends mostly because the staff are so friendly to us. They have some toys to distract even the littlest of diners and the food is classic breakfast food. As a young family sometimes you get "looks" from staff and other patrons but this place is beyond family friendly and we love supporting them. read more

This place was awful. My friend and I went there in June. I had tough eggs old bacon and toast that was unbeatable. My friend had a burger that she couldn't eat. It was very expensive. I would never return. read more

Pretty horrible experience overall - UNDERSTAFFED doesn't even explain the displeasure my boyfriend and I had while eating here. We resulted to coming here because of the 4.5 stars it had on google after the oak table had an out the door wait (now I have learned to wait in the line)!! The food took 45 minutes and my pancakes were inedible & my boyfriends biscuits and gravy tasted like playdoh and was the size of 1/4 of the plate. The waitress was overwhelmed and even cried due to lack of help... a table behind us (party of 6) got up and left after not being helped after 15 minutes of sitting down. Really unfortunate because this place has potential just they need a wakeup call on staffing and a new chef or two?? read more

This was okay. We had breakfast there. The French toast was average. The bacon was thick and rather dry. They never came around and filled our waters, which always annoys me when they put your food down and figure they are done with you, here is the check. The owner wandered around and did come up after we got our food, but she said, "so everything tastes great, right?!" Rather a presumptuous way to ask, I thought. How about, "how is everything? Is there anything else you need?" Like most people would ask. read more

We stopped here for a Sunday morning family breakfast and boy were we glad we did! Friendly staff (particularly a gentleman with a beard and the waitress with the dainty nose piercing- I wish I would have gotten their names because I would list them here!), and AMAZING food. Like... really delicious. Probably the best chicken fried steak I've ever eaten. Reasonable pricing for large portions. Definitely will eat here again! read more

We ate breakfast here, very good food and the servers were very nice and friendly we will definitely be back.

The day we went it was very busy and they were short staffed, waited over an hour for our food. The food was ok but I don't think it's worth another visit. We aren't from this area but if we were wouldn't give it another try. If they were staffed appropriately this might be a great place breakfast. read more

Cute and sweet. Typical breakfast/lunch place with 1st rate service and huge portion. Serves breakfast all day. Better yet, kids under 10 eat free breakfast. Tipped the lady extra for recommending sweet potato fries. read more

Super tiny little place and extremely packed. It's a glorified greasy spoon, but the quality was surprisingly good! Really fresh salads, with all dressings made in house. Pleasantly surprised by the experience. read more

This is a great restaurant, wonderful food and even better service. We have had both breakfast and lunch and it is always great. The new owner is on the floor all the time and is constantly checking with all the patrons to make sure every thing is ok. The are willing to modify menu items foe you also. Give it a try, you will not be sorry. read more

Such a cute cafe located in Sequim. We had breakfast which was good and affordable. We will return

I would give them six stars! Perfect bacon! Monte Cristo Sandwich was CRAZY GOOD (although next time I would get a side of maple syrup for dipping)! read more

Excellent food, very good service with friendly and down home people running the place. It was pretty busy due to local festival but they did their very best to keep up. The ten of us there all enjoyed it. read more

Overpriced, greasy food with poor service. I paid 11 dollars for a scoop of canned hormel corned beef hash, a small portion of hashbrowns, two eggs, and some stale toast. read more

Service was great, food portions were just right & food was average. We got in & out quickly on a Saturday morning, which was a bonus.

Breakfast done right! Basics of breakfast for me...waffles, hollandaise, sausage gravy, steak and eggs, they just kill it. Flavor excellent, cooked perfectly. Nothing out of the ordinary or particularly creative just solid breakfast that won't disappoint. read more

Fantastic food and even more fantastic staff!!! The corned need hash was really tasty. Chicken fried steak was tender and the gravy out of this world!!! read more

It's a cheap old school diner complete with tacky decor that you would find in your grandma's house. But you love your grandma so you keep going back! Just like the staff there, your grandma is sweet and dotes on your kids, but serves very bland food because she is on a low-salt, low-fat diet. Unlike your grandma, you will be asked to pay $10 for a waffle. It looks and tastes cheap but is not actually cheap. read more

Such an amazing breakfast! I purchased breakfast for 2 , monthly for a year at a charity auction. I thought it was cool for a small business to offer such a wonderful donation. The breakfast was delicious. The service was incredible. I had biscuits and gravy and my guest had ham and eggs. All the food was very good and came out hot. Such a happy place to stop and eat. I will definitely become a regular! read more
