"The food was satisfactory. I would like have had steak for dinner. I was surprised they did not offer it. The person running things was my waiter. He was friendly. He could have been slightly more attentive. The restaurant wad very clean and well-kept."

"I was really disappointed with this place. It was really cute and welcoming but service was not there, although when they did interact with you they were nice. We were seated right away and our drink order taken but then I waited about 20-25 minutes for a lukewarm latte that I asked for several times then didn't drink much of cuz it was gross. I'm not a latte snob but I do have standards! Everyone said the food was good. The house potatoes were really good and hot and fresh,which I appreciated. At that point, tho I was over it cuz I desperately needed caffeine and that need hadn't been met lol. The bathroom was falling apart and not handicapped accessible by any means and I was there with 2 disabled older parents so it was hard for my mom the use the restroom. I think it's got something going on but definitely needs some work in a few areas."

"I like my food very bland. The fried chicken had honey in it. It was way too sweet. The mashed potatoes had garlic, a lot of garlic. I don't like garlic. The vegetables were spicy. It's a shame because it's a really quaint little diner."

"Clean, popular old style 'hole in the wall' cafe with great breakfast and lunch items with daily specials. Wait staff was attentive and friendly. The price for side items weren't on the menu so I was a little surprised when a side of bacon cost $7.50. But nowadays, everything seems expensive to me. I haven't been here in years but will definitely go back!"

"Sunshine Cafe does bring the Sunshine to its dishes. This lowkey, cozy, and hidden location is a gem in the Cathedral City area. This was my first time at this diner and the food was very memorable. I want to go back for seconds, but the portions they offer won't let you fit it all in. This small quiet family inspired diner has the vibe that makes you feel like you are dining at your grandma's or great aunt's house. There are no frills to distract you from the food. This location appears to be very clean for a so called "hole in the wall" type diner. An A+ for me. The staff is very quiet but very welcoming and inviting. We arrived and all the tables were full but they offered us seating at the counter. The counter is low seating, so no high chairs. As soon as some patrons were done eating, we were able to move our seating to one of their cozy booths. This location is conveniently located right off Hwy 111 on Cathedral Canyon Dr. Parking is very limited but they are next to downtown Cathedral City where a parking structure and street parking are available. Once you park, it's just a brief walk to this diner from the parking structure. Sunshine Cafe makes everything homemade and you can definitely taste it. I had the Chicken Fried Steak with hashbrowns, 2 sunny-side up eggs and the homemade country sausage gravy. This was a great flavorful dish. I was really surprised with the creamy gravy that complimented the chicken fried steak. So Good!!! The hashbrowns were fresh and the eggs were served beautifully. Also, this order comes with a side toast of your choosing. The best part is that they took it upon themselves to butter my toast before it came to the table. I was able to enjoy this meal with their fresh squeezed orange juice. My partner had the Belgian Waffle Combo. This dish comes with 1 large waffle topped with whipped cream, 2 sunny-side up eggs, and 2 large sausages, but bacon is also an option upon request. She was able to have this delicious dish with all you can drink hot coffee. They are very attentive with filling up your mug everytime you reach the bottom of the mug. Overall this is a great location to enjoy a homemade meal when you want to indulge your appetite with lots of love and sunshine. They offer a multitude of other food options, other than breakfast items. As we walked up to the diner, we were hit a with a delicious aroma of charbroiled burgers. I will definitely be back to treat myself to what I assume is a mouth watering burger and my partner, well she can come too."
