What our guests are saying

Fast & friendly! The bacon cheeseburger was really good and portions were great for lunch. Love the pickup window since we're always on the go, but want to support local restaurants. Will be back to try breakfast soon :)

This is a SWEET little cafe as close to idealic as one could hope. The prices are fair and the food is tasty! The service is beyond amazing! I had delicious hot cakes, in a world where everything is now microwaved and arrives premade and frozen—these were a REAL treat, homemade!

I’ve been coming to Sonny Side Cafe for months now, and it’s always solid. The gluten-free pancakes are my favorite, and the staff treats you like family. It’s clean, quick, and feels like a real part of the community.
