Unfortunately we didn’t get to try the food. We arrived for a late breakfast/brunch and understood there might be a line. Which there was.
For the ~45 minutes we waited outside, we realized that almost every person standing around outside were delivery drivers doing pickup. There was actually only one other couple ahead of us for those 45 minutes. Then we realized that in those 45 minutes, we only saw one table leave, which was taken by the couple ahead of us at the 45 min mark.
That’s when my radar went up. Only one table left in 45 min, and 4-5 delivery drivers left with food. And upon reflection, I realized that all of the drivers looked annoyed, I’m assuming because it took so long to get the orders.
I went inside to use the bathroom and along the way I noticed that only two tables had food. One was in the process of eating, and the other one was waiting for their plates to be cleared. Upon closer inspection, I realize that every other table was waiting for food.
Doing the math, in 45 minutes one table left, two tables were served, and 4–5 drivers left with food. That means everybody else has been waiting for 45 minutes (or longer). So I stopped and asked a couple of tables if they had their food yet and how long they had been waiting. They all confirmed my suspicion. It’s at that point we decided to leave and go find breakfast somewhere else. Sadly.
This restaurant has amazing reviews, so I have no doubt that the food is amazing. I just wish that we could try it. I think the restaurant, given their inability to handle even low volume, should make the hard decision to not accept deivery orders. Either you are there to eat, or you’re not.
In the meantime, they have decided to prioritize delivery orders at the expense of the customers that are there in person, and I’m flabbergasted.
I wish them all the luck in the world, I will be watching and waiting for the day when delivery drivers do not rule the breakfast rush at this restaurant. Thanks for reading!

We ordered a few different things, I didn’t end up liking much of it which is odd because I am not picky. The eggs were a bit undercooked and watery. The crepes and pancakes were an odd consistency and both were not very flavorful. Overall, we weren’t satisfied with food though staff was nice.

In the commercial construction industry, we start early. It is hard to find restaurants that have Decent, handmade, breakfast gravy, and well prepared foods. These are hard workers and they take time and care with your breakfast order
I recommend them highly
Conveniently located on Aurora Avenue with a parking lot in the back if it’s busy
Great job sunrise!

I have been here twice and will continue to come! Great service (waiters check on you frequently). The food is great, nothing fancy. But it is simply good with fresh ingredients. The best, IMO, is how good the food is for the price. Very affordable! Highly recommended.

Absolutely fantastic spot! I had the #3 on the special list and it was so yummy. Pesto scramble with hash browns and a side of bread at a very affordable $13.50! I was blown away at how affordable this place was for the amount of food you get. Highly recommend and will be coming here again for sure.
Great chilaquiles mhhh!!!??

I ordered eggs Benedict and side of biscuits and gravy, the eggs Benedict was decent hollandaise didn’t have much flavor. Hash brown were not cooked well. And the biscuits were definitely homemade, they were good but the gravy was awful. Some of the worst “gravy” I’ve ever had it tasted like the flour hadn’t been cooked out of the roux and was not very edible.

First time in and it was absolutely amazing ?. We had the Salmon Benedict and the Meat Lovers Benedict with coffee and the fresh squeezed OJ. They served us some of the most perfectly poached eggs we've had in a long time.
The flavors were spot on, the Benedicts came with a quarter of an avocado ? which I really appreciated, and the service was fast, professional, and friendly. Price was surprisingly affordable, what a wonderful find!
We will definitely be back!
