Our Take
Sunnyside Cafe has clearly earned its morning-ritual status the hard way — 1,277 ratings at 4.4 across a bright, charming storefront with a genuine local-favorite energy that you can feel the moment you walk in. It sits in the same score tier as MERCI despite fewer fireworks, because consistency and community warmth are their own kind of charm.
