Cute place, cozy inside and very open and chill ambiance outside. Service is great too. Love their variety of drinks and the cute little stickers you can buy. Got there seasonal Beetlejuice matcha and it was delicious. When I'm in town again I'll stop by.

This location is just off the I-8 at the 8 1/2 E Avenue exit on the North Frontage road. The walls are painted with poppies and other charming art. Such a charming place to stop and have an outdoor or patio breakfast, brunch or just a refreshing coffee or tea. Enjoy the outdoor ambience by the water fountain under the gazebo. Eclectic, vintage decor. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. We had the Sunshine Bowl and latte which did not disappoint. Will return!

True coffee lovers know that to get a great drink you have to go outside the beaten path. Nestled in the East End of the City of Yuma is the Sunshine Cafe, this coffeehouse isn't for those who just need a quick caffeine hit, but it's for those who truly enjoy the rush of an amazing well-crafted drink. For more than a decade the Sunshine Cafe has drawn people from all over the globe, all looking for more than a drink or a meal but for an experience. As soon as you walk in, you can tell that this isn't your ordinary coffeehouse. The storefront looks more like a wood cabin and once inside it looks like a general store. Once you're greeted by Maria or her staff, you feel at home. Like many other coffeehouses, you'll find similar dishes, but with a little twist. They have avocado toast, but it's on a waffle and on a bed of bacon. They have pancakes, but they're bite-sized, and they're accompanied by slices of strawberries and bananas. And the adventure doesn't stop when you order your food, now you have to find a seat. Inside or out you'll be surrounded by creatively decorated scenery. Outside you'll find murals depicting life in the Desert Southwest. As well as waterfalls and an old van. If you're anywhere near Yuma, Arizona, you definitely have to make plans to visit the Sunshine Cafe, you won't regret it.

Kinky little coffee shop. Feels a bit like the Friends set. Cozy with great coffee and food.

Oatchata, $4

The coffee scene in Yuma has expanded over the past few years beyond Starbucks & Dunkin'. I had seen a few friends post about Sunshine Café and the ambiance seemed cute. I verified their hours before heading over there. Sunshine Café can be hard to miss when you are coming down Frontage Rd; it is the first right behind Cactus Storage. There are beautiful, colorful murals alongside the walls, a waterfall, a bar area, and cute little details throughout. The barista, Jessica, was very sweet. Bf ordered their signature coffee, Cafe de la olla ($5), and I ordered the oatchata ($4). Bf ordered a large and it was HUGE! Like 32oz! If you are truly looking for black coffee, specify as bf was surprised to find that it was sweetened with cinnamon. The oatchata was creamy, cinnamony, and just the right balance of coffee/sweetness. I'd definitely get it again!

Avocado toast, French toast bagel.

Amazing coffee, service and ambience. They host farmers markets, food trucks and more. I will surely miss this place when I have to move.

okay so here's my honest review…read more i came to Yuma Bagel Company and overall it was a decent experience, kinda hit or miss depending on what you get first -- i got an açaí bowl with extra strawberries & i'm not even kidding it was SO good. this was my first ever açaí bowl & i'm actually really glad i tried it here because it set the bar high. super fresh, really flavorful, and the strawberries were definitely worth adding. easily the best thing i ordered next i got a french toast bagel with extra cream cheese. it was... okay. not bad by any means, just not what i expected. i couldn't really taste the "french toast" part, it mostly just tasted like a regular bagel with cream cheese. still good, just a little underwhelming compared to how it sounds also -- i was actually really excited to get a cinnamon swirl bagel with strawberry cream cheese... but they were out of stock so i tried to switch to just a regular bagel instead and they were out of that too. not gonna lie that part was kinda disappointing because i was really set on that cinnamon swirl for my drink i tried the mango sunrise lotus. i'll be honest, not really a fan. BUT i don't think that's fully on them -- it just wasn't my kind of drink. it didn't taste bad or anything, i just personally wouldn't order it again overall i'd say it's worth trying, especially for the açaí bowls because that alone carried the experience for me. just maybe have a backup order in mind in case they're out of what you want lol

I really wanted to rate a local bagel business higher…read more Bagel: it was a bit bready. Mine came faster and toasted like no bagel I've had (except generic mass produced bagels). It didn't quite have the bagel chew that I'm used to. The variety of spreads was good! The cold brew was tasty. Service: it was okay. A bit grouchy. Ambience: 4 stools inside, looked like maybe outside seating (it was 6 am and in winter). Not sure I'd stop here again

Dunkin' Donuts on 4th Avenue - Great Breakfast Sandwiches, But Total Disaster on the Donuts, Sad!…read moreFolks, I went to the Dunkin' Donuts on 4th Avenue this morning after helping my wonderful Mother with her grocery shopping and morning errands - very important stuff, believe me. I placed the order ahead on the app like a smart guy, everything should've been perfect. I got the couple of breakfast sandwiches - delicious, hot, outstanding. But when I pulled out of the drive-thru and checked the bag? The donuts I ordered specifically for my Mother were MISSING! Gone! Not there! So I drove right back around - no problem - and told the attendant through the speaker what happened. She comes back with, "You drove off without it." Wrong! Totally incorrect! The unkempt guy who handed me the original bag obviously didn't double-check a thing - complete failure - and when he finally gave me the donuts in a separate bag, it was the most half-hearted apology you've ever heard. No energy, no real sorry, nothing! This shows a total lack of communication inside that place - from the kitchen to the window, it's a mess. Very disappointing, especially when you're doing something nice for your Mom. I'll think twice - maybe three times - before ordering from this location again. They need to get organized, train their people better, and stop losing customers over simple mistakes. Fix it, Dunkin' - or people like me will go elsewhere!

Made a visit to the store on January 20 and the young man they took my order was great! The…read morelocation was pretty busy and he handled the drive-through, food making, and the customer service in the lobby while maintaining a contagious, very positive attitude. I witnessed it firsthand while I was waiting for my order that a very busy situation was handled by him and the staff with the poise. I came back again today around the same time and it was a lot slower, but he had the same attitude as well as another lady that took my order in the drive-through. All I can say is get job guys! As a person that travels a lot it's great to see good people doing great work. I hope you like the ice cream!

The staff is what keeps me coming back. All the young ladies there are soooo friendly and helpful and are HARD WORKERS! They are always cleaning, stocking shelves AND they have to work the register. Multitasking at its finest. The mini marts prices are a bit higher, but it's a small business so occasionally I don't mind paying a bit extra for convenience. They have everything you'd find at bigger gas station- chips, candy, instant ramen and drinks, but they also have some specialty imported snacks and alcoholic beverages that you wouldn't be able to find anywhere else. They also have an outdoor filtered water station (50 cents) which is a plus! During snowbird season this place is a godsend. Especially when you're in a rush and want to avoid crowds and people. Overall, I highly recommend checking out Foothills Mini Mart!
