Best breakfast!! Eggs made perfect and the biscuits were fluffy and crunchy. We tried the wrap, the side of sausage and bacon, the smashed potatoes. All delicious!! And our server was the sweetest and most attentive. We also had a sugar cream pie and brownies to go. The pie was made Perfect -- right amount of sweetness and texture. The brownies were gooey and fudgey. Very rich and delicious.

Visited for the first time about a week ago and was delighted with the service and food. I arrived after the lunch time rush and ordered a breakfast selection that was delicious, filling, and exactly the variation I had requested. Interior decor is cute, and I had the pleasure to talk with a local pillar of the community who is turning 96 and visits often for Sunshine Cafe's home cooking. He was full of history of the town and even of the cafe. I was looking forward to trying a cinnamon roll but they are so popular that by lunchtime they had sold out for the day. I shall have to visit again but earlier the next time. While I was enjoying my lunch a local truck driver stopped in to check that their biscuits and gravy were from scratch, and finding out they were he said he was going to make it a point to try them soon.

I'm from Japan.???????? Yes, this shop is dangerous in a good way! I came to have breakfast, delicious coffee, gravy sauce and biscuits, milk pie and pancakes were all the best! It seems that there are a lot of regulars. That's right, if I lived in the United States instead of Japan, I would be a regular!
