This was an excellent little cafe. My husband and I were in town for a mini getaway and wanted to find a nice place for breakfast. I am vegetarian and always look on Yelp for places that have vegetarian options. This place was great, both with the quality of the food and with the excellent service we received from our waitress. She was very friendly and hospitable; she kept my coffee cup full. I don't remember the name of the dish, but it was a large portion of their country potatoes topped with lots of fresh sauteed veggies and a little melted cheese; I had sourdough toast as well. It was THE BEST breakfast dish I have ever had in a restaurant; the ingredients were so fresh and not overly cooked at all. My husband had a wonderful plate of food as well (although he declined to have his food photographed); it was a combination plate with one waffle, eggs over medium and sausage - I don't remember if he had potatoes or toast (he should have let me take a photo ;) ). If we are ever back in the area we will definitely come back to Sunrise Cafe. :)

Where should I start... I first remember when I was a little kid my mom would take me to meet with my grandpa for breakfast I loved going and everyone was so nice the place was always packed !! It gave off that small home town vibe that made you feel like family when you walked in the door. I took my Daughter there recently after not having gone for over 18 years yes the owners have changed shoot the whole inside is different I ordered my normal bacon hash browns and eggs food was great just not a lot of people and I feel their was an disconnect with staff they were nice but different they weren't annoying at all just kinda felt like the bar minimum I guess I was used to people talking and laughing with staff and it make you feel like home I hope it can get back to that I hope more people will come in maybe with more traffic staff will snap out off it and make work feel as they we just at home serving gust they invited over to make memories with.... With all that said come down and support the small business let's show them how it used to be and how it can be I know a lot of mom and pop family business are struggling right now so let's change it if we can

Wanted to try a new spot for breakfast and with the amount of stars this place got we went there. Service was good and pretty much that is why I have this place 3 stars. Food very under whelming. Biscuits were terrible. Very dark in there too. Service again was about the only good thing. Will not be returning

I've always enjoyed their food and the atmosphere. Pretty basic, but a old town feel.

In town for an event. Needed a breakfast spot and this was great. They were able to fit 10 of us on a Friday morning (two booths) and the server was Fabulous!
It's a gem.I have my favorites, and you will too.
