    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.

    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.

    It's not 1 star because I do like the taste of their drinks, and I'm also aware that the employees…read moreact the way they do, because they're instructed to do so. With that being said, it's alright to ask a customer how their day is going, if they have any plans, blah blah, it's harmless. However; when it's clear that they're doing that just to get a tip, it becomes a nuisance. Don't try to butter me up because you know you're going to put that iPad in my face with the usual "it's just going to ask you a quick question", please spare me the fake manners. Especially when they IMMEDIATELY switch up in attitude the moment you hit no tip. It's one thing to ask for a tip if you're out in the hot sun walking up to cars, that's the only time I consider giving it if the personality doesn't seem too fake. But if I'm walking up to the window, or if there's no line and I drive straight up to the window to place my order, do not put that iPad in my face. Dutch bros needs to change the way they do this, these folks have gone from perceiving tips as compensation for exceptional service, to expecting it as a baseline. You are doing your job, you are working the legal wage you accepted when you signed to apply for the position. Do not play me for a fool and assume just because you asked "what I'm getting into today", that I'm suddenly going to feel obliged to give you free money, that's not how human interactions work. If the employees not walking up to my car, they need to not ask for a tip, Dutch bros needs to instruct their employees of this. If I didn't enjoy the coffee and if I didn't believe they were instructed to do this, I'd rate it one star and never come back. However, I know that's not the case. Hopefully they fix this.

    The crew working the evening of May 21 was the BEST EVER, from beginning to end. I don't normally…read moreclown around when ordering anything in drive-thru, but thanks to a dare from my passengers I humiliated myself and placed our order in baby talk (and couldn't keep a straight face doing it, either!). The crew running the joint tonight was laughing as hard as I was and upon redeeming my birthday drink reward they made an extra special treat for me which of course was icing on the proverbial cake. I greatly appreciate the good humor of the employees as I slipped into a widdle bit of unexpected madness this evening and I truly thank them for playing along. I hope they know they made our visit memorable. I'm still giggling at the silliness and fun of it all!!! Fantastic crew!!!
