I joined my aunt and cousin for Sunday breakfast at this cute restaurant. We used the Yelp wait list and waited about 15 min for a table at 10:15. There were a lot of early diners and lots of people waiting for a table. Their menu has a lot of choices even though it's not that big. I stuck w/ a regular 2 egg plate. It tasted good and the portion was just right. My cousin likes the Smash burger and my aunt also likes the 2 egg breakfast, as well. I recommend going earlier than 10am if you don't want to wait too long. Also want to mention that they have outdoor patio dining, too.

This location is the only one with breakfast/brunch I'm told. Decaf coffee tastes like a nice black regular cup. Crispy home fried potatoes were a nice soft inside, like they used the Golden potatoes. Hollandaise sauce tasted proper A super delicious flavor was the Barriera The biscuits I loved, and the gravy was super tasty like a herby taste like thanksgiving vibe, The avocado toast is filling like a salad. Will come again

First time eating at Sunny's and enjoyed! Love that the place had a decent space for outdoor seating and tons of parking in the plaza. Employees were also super nice and attentive. Are here with a friend and portions were shareable! We shared the French Toast (6/10) serving size was great came in 4 and thick slices, it was just a tad dry but good none the less! Our fave was the short rib Benedict 10/10! Very yum! I was surprised with the flavor bomb and textures! Will definitely come back here again for that and more on the menu! Try to come a bit early as this place starts getting crowded and forms fast!

First time visiting. Will definitely be back to try other items on the menu. Everything was delicious and the coffee was great. Staff needs to be more welcoming and friendly in my opinion. No "welcome or good morning" no one at the sign up desk when we walked in. No thanks for coming as we left, nothing. Please water the poor drying plants that are hanging or just get rid of them if they're not going to be tended to.

The food was amazing! I was given a 30 min wait time that went over about 10 min but it was well worth it. I had a party of 6, and once we were seated, our orders were taken fast. I got the birria eggs Benedict and it was delicious, cooked to perfection. I also had a little taste of everyone's food which was all 5/5. The burrito had a little too much pico de gallo, but overall still tastes really good. Definitely give this place a try, their menu is full of all types of options

Saw some AMAZING looking food come out while we totally overstayed our welcome this morning... My bestie ordered the Shrimp & Grits. I got the Monte Cristo. I got to try her shrimp and was pleasantly surprised at the flavor of her grits which was my first time ever having grits. Although the Monte Cristo was presented attractively, it unfortunately had no taste. Why? IDK, but normally MC has a flavor of French toast. This was deep fried which seemed to overpower the eggy-ness that's normally what gives it a great flavor mixed with the saltiness of the ham 'n cheese center. I made it work by dipping it in the accompanying maple syrup, but would opt to try something else on my next visit. It was a nice day on their attractive patio and the wait staff was pleasant and attentive.

My family lives out in OC, so I have tried this restaurant a couple of times. The ambiance is just a local spot with outdoor dining. Clean and simple nothing fancy The reason I recommend this restaurant is that they have great customer service and their food is very good! Our family, having just crawled out of bed, was having a bit difficulty ordering and kept bothering our server for things. I would have to say our server was one of the nicest and patient servers I've seen! We ordered Black Forest Ham Benedict with house potatoes, Breakfast burrito, Rib Birria omelet with house potatoes, and lastly, Artesia breakfast with a side of waffle (TIP:for extra $8 you can order a side of waffle on the Artesia Breakfast and Classic Cerritos) Like I said before, I love me my Eggs Benedict and girl~~~ they did not disappoint! Breakfast burrito is always a breakfast favorite, and their burrito was flavorful and delicious. Rib Birria omelet was delicious as well as the house potatoes! Artesia breakfast was a typical fried eggs but the lingucia was a little off for us. We found it to be too dry and tough... But that maybe personal preference! On a positive note~ the waffle was perfect! My only complaint is that the juice was so little for 5$. Idk ‍ I recommend this restaurant and can't wait to dine there again!
