The food and service is amazing! I ordered the French toast with fruit and whipped cream. They gave a very generous amount of fresh fruit and the French toast was cooked to perfection. Plus free refills on coffee is always a bonus! My waitress Adrianna was very attentive and quick. Best brunch in Guelph

This was simply divine. Eggs Benedict were perfectly cooked, flavorful and fresh. The potatoes were delightful as well—a fun and tasty treat which accompanied the hearty eggs well. Coffee was amazing—-ranking in my top three best “diner” coffees. The waitress was kind, attentive, and friendly. This place delivers—plain and simple delicious food— with excellent service…An institution Guelph should be proud to embrace.

I attend Sunny morning for the first time, and I was pleasantly surprised. When you walk in the door you are greeted by very welcoming staff. The servers were all smiling, and very attentive to their customers. The restaurant is adorned with photographs of the local scenery and of restaurants from days gone by. I ordered the “eggs Freddy” and they were very delicious. The food was hot and ready approximately 10 minutes after our order was taken. My partner ordered the eggs and peameal bacon. He was very impressed with his meal as well. I highly recommend this charming hidden gem in Guelph’s downtown.

What a spot, from the old charm interior to the amazing service and wow to the kitchen staff. The food was amazing, my wife which orders eggs Benedict all the time said this was one of the best she’d had. I had the meat livers omelette which was packed with meat. And finally our server Diane was prompt and offered great suggestions, didn’t hover over our table and let us do our thing, eat a great breakfast. Thank you Sunny morning, will be back.

A nice little brunch place that we stumbled upon. Had the Big Breakfast Skillet, Eggs Benjamin, and an omelette. Food was good and filling, but tastewise was not on the level of some of the other brunch places we've been to. Service was excellent, served with a smile and very accommodating. Atmosphere was warm and welcoming as a family diner should be. Overall, not bad but not wow.

★★★★★

Had breakfast for the first time this morning. I had the eggs Freddy Benedict and my wife had the early bird special. Great atmosphere and comfortable. Our regular local breakfast spot seemed a bit lackluster last time out (just down the street) so we wanted to try something new. Definitely worth checking out! Special shout out to our server / hostess GG who knocked it out of the park with her recommendations. Thanks again to all! We will be back.

Sunny Morning Convenience? Similarly to a convenience store, whenever someone opens the front door a loud bell rings in the entire restaurant. The bell kept going off every minute. Service was inattentive even though there were 2 servers and wasn t busy inside. The finish is coming off the tables since it opened so they feel sticky. Food is good though !

First off I m going to say, this place was very expensive, BUT the food was great. I got a bagel with eggs cheese bacon and cream cheese and a side of fruit that was an extra $5. For my man and me to eat here it was $40. I probably won t be coming back because there are cheaper breakfast spots with the same great tasting food.

I have driven through the Guelph downtown dozens of times and been intrigued to try some if the very welcoming restaurants. We had the opportunity on Saturday and enjoyed an amazing breakfast at 09:30. The restaurant has a fresh uncluttered feel to it. We had a coffee in our hands in less than minutes. You know your in trouble when there are too many menu choices you desire. I settled on a greek style omelette! Wow everything was perfect. We were convinced it was a one if a kind but pleasantly surprised to learn it is a small franchise. Looking forward to my next breakfast out.

Food was good not mind blowing. A little tight for space, we went on a Sunday afternoon so it may be its peak busy. But overall good! They advertise fruit but you have to order it as a classic side and that costs $5. Seasoned home fries or sliced tomatoes is a free classic side.

overall breakfast was 5 star good coffee good toast average hash browns and bacon but with no early bird special ... $17 for coffee, eggs, hash browns, bacon and toast no one will go there as there are to many other competing restaurants offering $10 early bird specials for the same thing. I was there at 8:30 and no one was there and no one came in during my 45 minute stay.

Tables were so close together that the waiters brushed my arm any time they had to squeeze past, whi h was often enough. Theres nowhere to hang coats or keep bags, so mine went on the floor between my feet. The pancakes were a bit too sweet, and felt more like a dessert than a breakfast. Overall the food was fine, the atmosphere was uncomfortable.

It was very quiet for a Saturday morning. The service was friendly and warm. There are a lot of menu options to choose from, but as vegetarians we found that many of the breakfast items included meat. The portions are large and were happy to see tomatoes included as an option for a side dish. The regular breakfast is $9.99 with prices increasing thereafter. Vegetarian options: A lot of the breakfast options include meat. If you order a breakfast skillet they can leave the meat out but a substitution wasnt offered.

Nice and clean establishment! We went early in the morning with two children (one under one) and we were quickly accommodated. A simple menu made the choices easy, and they were even able to accommodate my off-menu side choice. Reasonably priced, quick to receive our food, and good, tasty food made this place one I look forward to going back to. The rye bread was the standout here, strongly suggest giving it a go! Kid-friendliness: Many high chairs and booster seats available, a good kids menu as well!

Had a delicious lunch, standard diner fare, but not at all greasy. Left feeling satiated, not stuffed. The food was very reasonably priced and generous portions. Staff are excellent.

I tried this restaurant as soon as they opened and I love the food. Staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is very relaxing. I read reviews where some people mention the price is high, but I have to disagree because the portions are very generous. Love their home fries, they are the best I have ever had, and I tried quite a few places. I always order them extra crispy. Yum!! Please keep up the good quality. I have come to the restaurant, and have ordered delivery or pick up several times, and the food always tastes delicious. My go to breakfast is The Belgian Delight. Ignore the negative comments. You cant make everybody happy. There will always be complainers. Nothing you can do about it. They also sell tiny jars of Nutella. Yum!!
