from Google & Yelp"Yes yes, another Country/Chicken Fried Steak breakfast 😋 this time at the mom & pop shop Sunny Side Cafe in Seal Beach. They took over a defunct Denny's and are making it their own. They served some of the darkest orange egg yolks I've yet to see at a diner/cafe. Super dark orange eggs yolks usually signify the hen had a diet rich in carotenoids, which are pigments found in plants like marigolds, alfalfa, and other foraged foods. They were deliciously sticky. And instead of a toast option, they bring you a homemade biscuit, halved, then griddled on the cut side (nice touch) and served with heavily cinnamoned whipped butter. The stand out for me were the hash browns, nicely crispy yet tender within and I'm fairly certain they were flat topped using clarified butter. They were incredibly delicious just on their own. Friendly service rounded out a very nice meal. It's barley 10 min from home so I'll definitely be back."
"Sunnyside is honestly one of those places that just puts you in a good mood the second you walk in. The food is amazing,everything tastes fresh and full of flavor but what really makes it special is the atmosphere. The people there are super warm, welcoming, and always treat you like family.

Highly recommend! 🌞"
"This restaurant is a standout choice for breakfast. Although it was busy when I arrived, I was seated immediately without any wait. Ordered a Cappuccino the Daybreak Special, which included exceptionally large and delicious chocolate chip pancakes with eggs and bacon. The food overall was fresh, flavorful, and consistently good. Service was quick and attentive throughout the meal. A solid and enjoyable breakfast experience."
"Stop what you’re eating AND go visit our new Favorite Server JOANNE at Sunny Side cafe; you won’t regret it. From the warm welcome beginning to end, to the great portions and perfectly seasoned dishes, this breakfast spot is so delicious. Pancakes are must ! The Breakfast burrito makes my tummy smile! Can I tell you that it comes with a side of home made tasty salsa that is an added surprise of zing ! It’s the best feeling to spend money on food that was made with intention and kindness. You can taste that the food is here to please the community!"
"This was our second time at this cute and quirky restaurant. It appears to be an old Denny’s and while the exterior hasn’t changed much the interior is clean, bright and pleasant. Some of the little touches are class napkins and they hand print their logo on their to go bags. Pancakes are fluffy and massive. The club sandwich is large and tasty. A surprise was the shrimp tacos which were well flavored and served with a good serving of fresh guacamole. I can’t wait to be in Sea Beach again so I can eat here."
"Sunny Side Cafe in Seal Beach was a whole Sunday morning vibe. We came around 10 a.m. on a Sunday with my son, and I already had an inkling the food was..."
