There was not a single thing about this place that made me say "wow, this is so good". The prices that they charge for the food that they serve is not worth it at all. I will not be returning. The service was great, but service can only go so far.

Service was great and friendly. We were greeted immediately and seated very quickly. We had the classic eggs Benedict with hash browns and it was delicious! The waffles were tasty. The pancakes were a bit different, they tasted as if they were made with a sourdough batter? I could be wrong but regardless the food was really good. 10/10 would recommend. Oh, the coffee is delicious, a real cup of Joe!

Nothing to write home about. Good diner food - pancakes, eggs, etc. but ambiance was meh. The main stand out was how great the service was.

Made a return visit to Santa Barbara, can't get enough of this picturesque city! Decided to stop at Sunshine Cafe, Yelp pics of their food items looked cool! Ordered breakfast burrito, they use whole pinto beans which gives the burrito an authentic taste. Potatoes on side with green onion topping were very good. BLT sandwich very hearty, and coffee nice and strong! Recommended!

Service was great! We were welcomed within a minute of arriving, we had water at the table immediately, and our drink + food order were taken quickly. Food arrived in about 5-minutes. Keep in mind that it was close to closing on a Tuesday.

Aside from the staff, the food and quality were just okay. Yet, the prices are great (two breakfasts, a juice, and a side of fries for $35 - this would be closer to $50 at most restaurants in SB).

This is a diner, so maybe this is an unfair review? The syrup for our pancakes and waffles was coagulating, oil was leaking out of our fries and building a puddle

First time here today (12/5/21), pleasant surprise! Food very very good! Service was great! Our waiter (forgot to ask his name) was courteous, attentive and funny! Excellent morning stop. I had the Huevos Divorciados (comes with a bit of chili Verde) and my wife had the steel cut oats, both recommended by our waiter. Try it you'll like it!

There are many breakfast places around but most of them are just okay in my opinion and the ones that are good are super long waits to get a table.

This unassuming quiet spot on upper state does a good job. Huge menu with reasonable prices and when we went it was super quiet and slow = easy to get a table.

The food was good, the order of French toast some of it was not all the way cooked through, but otherwise everything else we got was good. The service was very quick and attentive.

Good, strong coffee. The smoked salmon Benedict was so good! I was leary at first because there was only one review of the salmon but I was craving it so I took a chance. I was NOT disappointed. Eggs were perfectly cooked, salmon was fresh and the right saltiness, the muffin wasn't over toasted, the hollandaise sauce was tasty. Other items we ordered: Chicken and waffles gets a mixed review. Waffle was light and fluffy but chicken was a little tough. Breakfast burrito with pinto beans and sour cream was huge and very good. Corned beef hash was delicious. Hashbrowns were crispy and satisfying

I was craving a waffle so bad and I saw pics and decided on SB Sunshine Cafe. This was my first ever visit. Came around 12 on a Sunday and it was a 5 min wait for 2 people. We opted for a Belgian waffle combo with over easy eggs and bacon + a NY steak speciality w/ fries and a side salad.

Everything was classic diner style and I was satisfied!! We devoured everything. Steak was medium rare and juicy. Salt and pepper your eggs and steak though as they leave that to your liking. Their hand cut fries were delicious and exactly what you want in a fry. Belgian waffle was still crispy as an end of the

Kudos to Manuel for protecting customers from a person who refused to comply with mask requirement.
By the way, I really enjoyed my Denver omelette and coffee. The ingredients were fresh and the coffee was aromatic. Next time when I am in Santa Barbara, I will definitely re-visit SB Sunshine Cafe.👍

We stayed at the Sunset Motel next door )also wonderful) and strolled over for lunch. It was so good, we came back the next day for breakfast. Service is impeccable and friendly and the coffee was really good!

Good food and you get a great value on the 1/2 liter mimosas with a selection of juices. You get about three mimosas for just under the price of what you would pay for two singles! Staff is friendly & attentive:)

Excellent food and service! I was disappointed when I first day down because they didn't show that they offered hash browns. But when I asked, they said yes! I had the french toast combo with two eggs and two strips of bacon and the extra side of hash browns. The bacon was phenomenal! I'll be back!

Excellent service and very good food. Nice atmosphere and conveniently located for our hotel. Not completely packed but very busy and even with all of the people our food was served very quickly.

Great service however the drinks were overpriced. A single glass of orange juice, which wasn't even good, ran us 5$. We ordered a glass of milk too which was also somehow $5. The meals were moderately priced at around $15 per meal however given their size, I'd say it was a fair price.

Always wondered about this place- and now I know! Food is great and filling. Ordered breakfast and was delivered in a timely manner.

Crab Benedict was tasty - I would recommend it for seafood lovers. It's a nice thick layer as thick as the English muffin and drizzled with sauce (not drenched and soggy). The Eggs Benedict were a little over cooked for my liking (I like having the yoke run out when I cut it open). House potatoes were well seasoned and it was filling!

French toast combo was good- French toast was made well and not soggy and floppy like some other places. Plenty of cinnamon

Truly amazing breakfast and lunch spot. Went two days in a row and while up here visiting for family weekend at UCSB. Literally everything is delicious. Had French toast the first day and it was amazing. Patty melt the second day and it was on point. Family shared a pancake and it was perfect.
