Eggs were bland and the hashbrown was mush . The cinnamon pancake was good but very thin.

Everyone is super kind and in a great mood always!! The pancakes are my fave (omg!) tea: I once left my laptop there by mistake (sad face) I called, they found it, kept it , and kindly returned it back to me (phew)..-#CarmelEats

Great lunch spot! They make most of their own salad dressings so try the Valencia or the Asian Salad. Breadsticks (baked in house) are amazing. I think they also make their own sourdough sandwich bread, which elevates the BLT. The soups are also homemade and delicious. The Chicken Tortilla is my fave. Service is always friendly and helpful. I often make changes to the menu items and they always accommodate.

Note: it is a little hard to find. It's inside the first floor of one of the Meridian Mark office buildings - the one furthest north (of the two). You can go in any door and get to Sunrise

Tried both the Biscuits and Gravy and the Hotcake Sausage Wrap. B&Gs were bland and over peppered with a dry biscuit. Hotcakes were light and tasty, with some good spice to the sausage. Coffee was really good. Service was pleasant. Not a place that I would make an effort to return to.

Burger was excellent service was good.little disappointed that because they started with lunch menu they wouldn't make my granddaughter a yogurt parfait for lunch but they had yogurt on lunch menu. Little lacking in customer service considering the place was empty.

The person who greeted us was less than friendly and seemed inconvenienced when I asked for a booster seat for my 2 year old. Our server was friendly though, however the food was sub par. The fruit and yogurt parfait was just a bunch of fruit thrown together with yogurt dumped on top. My 12 year old hated it. The hashbrowns were crispy on the outside and had the consistency of mashed potatoes inside. The pancakes were paper thin and the syrup was flavorless. And the hollandaise sauce was gross. The only thing we enjoyed was the coffee and OJ. Our bill was $42 and we didn't even eat half of the

Food was decent. Nothing to write home about. Way over priced for the portions in my opinion.

Greeted with frowns and scowls by the cashier and waitress. I decided to leave without ordering when the "waitress " said, "I really don't know what a southern omelette is." My impression is that this dive is for locals only. I will notify the nearby hotel as such.

Top-notch breakfast and service! If you're doing business in the area, schedule your meeting for the morning. The location inside a large office building is a little hard to spot the first time, but look for the signs and you'll get there.

We went in and Waited almost 10 minutes just to be seated then the waitress greets us we ask for a couple minutes to look at the menu. 15 minutes later we still haven't been checked on and are running behind on time and our waitress is nowhere to be seen. We ended up just getting up and leaving.

This classic diner has great food. Their pecan rolls (Sunday's only) and hashbrowns are favorites! Service is quick and personable, and the menu is simple for those that don't need a lot of choices, but want good, wholesome food.

The breakfast wrap was yummy! Had it made western omelette style. Salsa was fresh, sour cream was premium, and best of all, the table was nice and clean when we sat down. Sometimes restaurants tables are sticky... ugh gross.

Always come here for delicious and easy breakfast food. Not expensive and the service is very quick. It's kinda confusing on finding it. Drive behind the hotel end you'll find the parking lot facing the highway

Great food! Very extensive menu. Great prices for the quality and quantity! Don't let the fact that they are located in an office building fool you. Excellent and friendly staff.

Good food. However the restaurant has horrible sanitation issues and social distancing practices. I will NOT visit this restaurant again during COVID.

I physically had to move my table to remain a safe distance from other patrons who were seated right next to my table when there were plenty of other vacant tables for them to be seated.

Cleaning between patrons is extremely poor. Tables were washed down but seats were not washed. Booths were not washed down. Kitchen staff would bring large serving trays out and place it on clean tables. Completely unacceptable sanitation between customers.

Great breakfast! Service a little slow. Pancake was super thin and it was wonderful! Ordered bacon crispy and it was perfect! Worth having to ask for refills, would definitely go back!!

Biscuits and gravy were good - nice fluffy biscuits. They provided jam and butter in case (I guess) you prefer to just eat the gravy like soup. My wife's ham and cheddar quiche and hashbrowns were very well done also. Nice little place with good atmosphere and friendly, quick service. Not so easy to find back off the road, but worth seeking out.

This place does all the standard breakfast options right. I got Bacon, eggs, hash browns and cinnamon toast. Everything was good, the cinnamon toast was the star of the show with bacon coming in a close second. Large portions for a good price and nice, friendly service. Will definitely stop in again at this reliable breakfast spot.

A hidden gem in this area! I didn't even know Sunrise was on the 1st floor of this building until I recently discovered it. A local north side favorite, good per usual! We went mid-morning on a Thursday and our server Audrey was more than attentive and recommended great choices foe us. Great service and great food for the price. More than happy with it and will return again!

They were okay... Definitely, not worth what we paid. So, I guess my biggest complaint was they are pricey for what they offer. The service was super sweet. But would I go back? Nah.

Searched the app for a local gem for breakfast or brunch. Read it was tough to find...then drove right by it. Lol.

It's hidden on the back side of an office building. Good luck finding it...you'll be glad you did.

Eggs Benedict was world-class! Party melt was real good too. Fruit cut fresh...even the toast was great. Fast, friendly service too. Not the cheapest place, but worth it.

For breakfast this morning I went into Sunrise Cafe in the Meridian Mark II building in Carmel because it was where my companions wanted to eat. It was my first time there. I found the decor elegant and the staff attentive. I had the classic eggs benedict with hash browns. It was all quite good, and the hollandaise sauce was wonderful.
