Great service, with friendly staff and amazing breakfast. Love it!
Came by here early morning I had definitely mixed feelings about trying this breakfast joint close by but decided to give it a try! I was definitely happy in the end the service was great, food was good and portions were fair.
Food is delicious. Service is first rate and the atmosphere is always upbeat and pleasant
The service was delightful - we were greeted with huge smiles and friendly greetings. I got the eggs Benedict and my husband got the Big Big. Definitely a hidden gem in the neighbourhood and worth the visit!
We had breakfast at this spot, we ordered Italian French toast and Big Big. The French toast was ok but the taste of egg was a little bit too much on it. The big big was good and also portions are big. They also provided a good service to us.
Been going here for years! Food is good, service is fantastic every time! Drink and food always comes out quickly. The place is always busy as well. Great spot for a quick bite! The staff is always smiling and welcoming! See you soon!
We went on Saturday morning for two breakfast meals. The place has all day breakfast so it is a constant option. They also have a time-limited lunch menu. We were seated in the front which good sun exposure. The place was busy but clean and organised. We were attended to immediately and were provided coffee quickly, which tasted lovely. The food orders took a bit more than 10 mins to make. The meals were filling and great and cost about $10-15 bucks each. Plenty of bread was provided along with the basic necessities of jam, butter and syrup! There is plenty of parking in front of the restaurant. A good place to try for breakfast!
Have not been inside however today is my second time ordering and having them deliver to my workplace and I must say the food is delicious. Haven’t had a chance to go into the store so I don’t know about that part. I enjoyed the food so much that I ordered twice in a week back to back. I didn’t care for the fries that came with the burger. But I think because I left them all day before I ate them made them taste so dry. So that’s my fault I guess. But I would recommend them for a nice breakfast.
Great food eggs were amazing
This place never ceases to woww you! One of the best breakfast places uptown. This cozy cornerplace has a decent menu and a wonderful staff. Serving with a smile, this place also is pocket-friendly! Give it a try for sure.
I give then 5 stars for their food because Ive always loved when I ordered from them with Uber. Today was the first day I decided to eat there with my family. I arrived with my family at 3 and the website said it closes at 4. When I arrived it said it closed at 3.30 so I still had half an hour. When I walked in they told my family and I they were closing early today and we could only do take out because they didnt want to do the clean up. I might order from them again some time but Im not gunna waste my time going for their sucky service.
The food was old school in a good way, nice portions. Love the rye toast & sweet potato fries. The coffee is delicious. Good place for a dependable breakfast. Kid-friendliness: This restaurant welcome families to relax and enjoy a meal together.
Great food, service and atmosphere. Hidden gem.
This is more like Cloudy Spot. The food was below average. The cost was average. The vibe wasn t great, place was slightly run down. Not the kind of place you d want to eat at
We had a great experience! The team was welcoming and smiling. The breakfast was served quickly and was delicious. I 100% recommend coming here for breakfast.
I order from here for office events on a regular basis. The food is amazing, it always arrives on time and is an office favourite.
I usually come here with my friends for brunch but we had a really horrible experience today. We ordered water for the table and we never received it. It took a long time for someone to take our order but we didn t mind the long wait. It was only when our server got my order completely wrong (I wanted to sub my potatoes for toast but they gave me the potatoes and put my eggs Benedict on the toast instead of the English muffin). When it arrived, I immediately told them I didn t order potatoes. They told me they d bring me the bread separately which I didn t really want since I hate wasting food and there was already so much I couldn t eat. The bread never arrived, we still didn t have water, and nobody came to our table for 30 minutes. Finally, we called a server over to tell them what happened, she went to go see what went wrong because I had ordered really clearly and she had understood what I wanted. She came back and told me she wrote the wrong thing so it was her fault. We waited another 20 minutes for the bill (there still wasn t water) and she said they wouldn t charge me for the bread that never came. I ended up having to just pack it home for a friend. I feel bad having to write this but this was a horrible way to handle a mistake and we will be looking for different breakfast options from now on.
Good burger
Its good, but for the price, imo, it should be better.
I ordered a burger from DoorDash, found a piece of plastic inside the bun while I was eating (the piece of plastic to tight up the bag of bun). Moreover, the patty was under seasoned and under cooked, the lettuce was also brown, First time also last time in this restaurant.
Had the meat lovers omelette. Kinda too slty for my tastes. Home fries couldve been cooked a little longer to soften it up. Staff is friendly. Thy have a good lunch special posted at front.
This restaurant is arguably the greatest thing to happen to north york. This is the quintessential breakfast diner that this community needs. I am truly grateful that a family business such as this exists so close to me. Although I have been unable to try anything outside of what I always get (three eggs, sausage and home fries). This restaurant surely does every item well. Everything this restaurant stands for is what makes the city of Toronto great. I m writing this review before I have received my food. But I have been here multiple times and that s why I just feel compelled to write this review. Sunshine spot simply delivers exactly what it s meant to deliver. Honest food at honest prices
Your standard breakfast. Good service, decent breakfast food. Would come again.
Great costumer service, always friendly and welcoming! Amazing food for reasonable prices. Highly recommend.
Delicious food, great service! Would recommend for a perfect breakfast spot
Great breakfast food Food was ready very quickly and great service. Well be back.
Great breakfast spot! They were very accommodating of my dietary restrictions.
The service here was great! My server was named Hirushan and he knew the menu inside out. Will definitely come back soon!
Ordered thru Uber eats. Everything was just as I had expected and beyond. Will definitely be ordering here again!
Went in with the family for breakfast and the food and staff were fantastic. Perfect spot for bacon and eggs
Great eggs benny!
Definitely a worthwhile stop for brunch in North York! I love finding these littles local gems!
Amazing breakfast tacos! Keep coming back for more.
I ve eaten here several times and can honestly say this restaurant has absolutely incredible food from savoury to sweets. The breakfast and sandwiches are out of this world. The food is cooked so clean and fresh. It s a treat every time I eat here. The servers are all so kind and warm best hidden spot in North York. Trust me try it out shout out to the chefs.
Needs improvement . It was my first time trying this restaurant, I ordered from Uber Eats. My biggest complaint is that my scrambled eggs had some small egg shells in it, and I also found a very small piece of hair in the hollandaise sauce. I think the chef needs to pay better attention when cooking the food. Other than that, the food came on time and was presented nicely. But if this is how the food is usually prepared, then I m not sure I d like to eat here again.
Its been my go to for years . Food is good , staff super friendly . Definitely better spot around .
Been coming to Sunshine Spot for years! Amazingly friendly staff an the breakfast is always delicious!
Great service, very friendly staff. Always lots of food. I enjoy my time at Sunshine Spot always.
The moment you enter this place it smells of black mold and mildew. Had breathing problems in minutes. The food is also horrific and tastes of mildew and rot. This place needs to be closed permanently
The food was very good. The service was friendly too. I recommend the Junior Chocolate Waffle, our kid finds it yummy!
Very delicious and great staff!
Good sandwiches but not a fan of the home fries. They have a big menu and we will be back again to try other items Friendly and attentive staff.
This place doesn t deserve the one star but I had to choose it. IF YOU RESPECT YOUR HEALTH you would never ever go to this place. One order had missing egg and bacon the other order was totally wrong. The potato was burnt, supposedly was homemade but didn t taste like potato. The dishes were dirty. The chef proved that you can mess up a simple egg breakfast recipe.
I have been a. customer of SSS spot for many years. The staff are warm, cheerful and friendly and the food has always been excellent! I love my three times weekly breakfasts! I will be a customer for life and the staff will be friends for life! Good luck! Anne
Not bad, average. Other breakfast restaurant may be better. Personal observation, cooks dont wear hair nets and no gloves either. Maybe this need to improve Food : 3/5
Lovely staff and really great food. Definitely a hidden gem in this neighbourhood.
Always my go to family owned brunch spot. Food is so fresh and just amazing. Portion sizes is great. Never fails
Its a casual atmosphere. You might need to remind them what your order was a couple of times! But the food is good. For 6 orders, we paid $150 (including tax and tip)
My husband and I come here regularly for breakfast on the weekends. It is a great spot for fast, reliable and good food. Portion sizes are good and the food is made fresh to order. It is a diner and you get exactly that. The service is always excellent.
Expensive and average taste
First visit in 6 years, still great. Eggs benedict with smoked salmon and fresh decaf coffee
Great cozy place to have breakfast
Dont eat here. The worst breakfast, bad attitude, yell at customer, bad food, floor is dirty, table is sticky. Old and broke. Food : 1/5
terrible place
Ok let s start with I love this place and have been coming here for many many years. The staff are always warm and welcoming and remember me regardless of how long it has been since my previous visit. Plenty of space to sit and well laid out so you are comfortable. If you come at breakfast rush hour or on special holidays you may well have to queue so I would recommend going early. The whole family can find an excellent selection of food we love and a shout out to the coffee, so often coffee in cafes is rough but theirs is lovely. I could eat anything on the menu but love the big breakfasts as they satisfy my hunger and make me happy! Plenty of parking out front making it easily accessible. If you are in the area get yourself there! Parking: Good size parking can be busy in eating rush hour but I have always been able to park. Kid-friendliness: Loads of kid options and mine love the chocolate milk.
Delicious and generous serving, small breakfast spot and very friendly staff. Came on a Saturday morning, free parking. Food : 5/5
Food was overpriced and tasted very bland. Not worth the money.
Food was average. They didnt seem too concerned about checking vaccine status though when we were there. Service was very good.
This review is a summary of two separate visits. The first time was take out and the second time was dine in. Both times we got all day breakfast, it was decent. However, the reason why I gave it 3 stars was how dishonest , or potential up charge, they might be doing. The first time we got take out, we went there before 10AM, which we should qualify for their early bird breakfast but they charged us the regular price. However, back then we didnt know they have an early bird pricing! It wasnt until the next time we went to the plaza to line up for Toro Fish that we saw their ads for their early bird pricing! The second time, we dinned in. The food was decent, it satisfy your oily breakfast craving but I over heard the cash over charged another customer. Good thing that customer knew his pricing and corrected the cash. After this time, I might not come back anymore, two up charge incidents during my two visits... Either someone is really bad at math or it is something else.
One of my favourite breakfast spots!! Family owned spot! I am a regular!! Highly recommend
Great food. Everything was delicious.
The staff were nice and friendly. I ordered pancakes and bacon which came with fresh fruit but somehow both hot items were cold.
Lot of options for food. Nice people. Good food.
Had breakfast here the other day ! Unlimited tea and coffee! The food was tasty , the service was good ! We stayed about 3 hours and did not realize how fast the time flew by , and none of the staff troubled us in any way to move , which was great! It s a little hide away place with home bibes
Terrible place. I ordered steak and eggs, I didnt even get a order of toast with it. Also the home fries taste like raw potatoes. Would not recommend going here. To cheap for toast with a $30 meal..
The best place to have the breakfast and lunch. Follow on instagram _ Sunshinespotrestaurant
Home fries had an odd sour taste to them and potatoes werent fully cooked, had a bad stomach ache after eating brunch here, will not be returning
Great waffles and french toast! Ditto the Eggs Benedict!
Cute place, lovely staff, hearty portions
The staff is outstanding and the breakfast very fresh
Realy good food.
Wonderful staff super awesome smile and food fresh and delicious.
Had the eggs Bennie the other day it was absolutely delicious! The service is fantastic too!
Eggs benedict were below average
Super friendly staff. Food was really good as well.
Friendly staff and great service Parking: Great parking out front. Recommended dishes
Best place to visit
Good food, good staff, good portion. Must try this place.
I loved the waffles
Horrendous food! Ordered through Uber eats and it seems like other people that ordered through Uber eats had the same horrible experience! Dry food, hard stale fries.. don t even get my started. Chicken wrap with OLD BLACK lettuce, none of the ingredients stated, and old crumbs they called chicken . Old burnt black bacon no sauce, half the ingredients listed missing couldn t eat the food. What an absolute joke. I wish i could rate 0.
Staff was great. It s important that they are attentive to tables when we are dining in. Very friendly and always smiling. Food was amazing, our table tried omelettes, pancakes, waffles and other breakfast foods. All of it tasted amazing this is a local place for us so we ll definitely be coming back!
Average
Their prices on Uber eats are doubled. Wouldn t trust food at such a shady place. If you can t afford to be on Uber eats without charging $30 for a wrap get off it
Food is good and priced well.
This is my favourite breakfast spot in the area. The server is always quick, kind and courteous. My favourite dish is the eggs Benedict, everything down to the Hollandaise sauce is perfect. Breakfast is an easy thing to make however not all breakfast spots have mastered it like this chef. The open kitchen concept allows you to see him cook your food, which is an added bonus. Highly recommend.
I work in the neighbourhood and there isnt a lot of food options. But theres no need for options, because I keep coming back. I enjoy eating breakfast food here (or takeout). Good food, decent prices.
sometimes hit or miss... sometimes service is good, sometimes they are pretty rude
Good neighborhood breakfast place for take out during the pandemic
I love Sunshine Spot! Great service and yummy food.
We got the Greek scrambled eggs and Nutella french toast. The food wasnt good at all, potatos were dry and eggs werent cooked properly. Also, french toast wasnt tasty
Good service and delicious waffles !!!
Great service! My order was perfect and customer service was great
Had a great Sunday brunch
I love local breakfast/brunch spots. But I have to say I was a little disappointed with the meal here. Only dislike was the home fries. Wish it had more seasoning. Unfortunately, theres a wimpys dinner down the street which does things a bit better. But otherwise, if youre in the area, this a good place for brunch. And definitely take advantage of the early bird deadea always worth iit
Went around 2 P.M. and got a house burger cos I didnt feel like breakfast food. Tasted clean and fresh like the way itd be done in a home kitchen. The water and the cup it came in were dirty (black specs) so I skipped on that. Its a decent place, but I wouldnt go back unless I were craving something super specific from the breakfast menu. The atmosphere was friendly, chill and pleasant though.
Nice breakfast spot in the neighbourhood! Decent food and great service.
Food is delicious and service is # 1!
Was searching for breakfast options and decided to give this place a try. The bench I sat on had the bottom broken so it sank in the rear. Surfaces were sticky, the salt shaker was especially gross, (used hand sanitizer and the one napkin the utensils were wrapped in to try and clean it, the whole napkin ended up grey and the shaker was still sticky) The food was okay (steak medium and poached eggs, home fries with a side of hollandaise and an English muffin and orange juice) , but given the price, the portions somewhat stingy. Have had a better experience at chain restaurants. Only good thing was no crowd
It s been such wonderful pleasure experience here! I highly recommend this place to anyone who not only wants to eat here, but to have a smile & joyful lunch time right here at sunshine spot! I cannot believe how friendly the workers are! I m more than happy than ever coming here again & again. FIVE GOLDEEN STARSSS FOR THIS FOOD RESTAURANT. GO NOW!
Nice place, good service and yummy food!
I asked for over medium and they git it just right,Good Food,Good Staff. Did not wait long for food to be ready Great!
Great service and attention from the staff. We had a great time on our breakfast / brunch there and we really enjoyed the plates. The Benedict Eggs were pretty good and the French Toast ordered by my wife was good amd fresh. The service was fast and the staff really helpful. We paid a fair price for a breakfast for two. Besides that, the place was clean and the tables being sanitized just after the customers left. The place is nice and worth the stop.
Nice little family spot, very friendly staff and price is decent.
Amazing food with great staff. Food presentation was very pleasing and all the food looked delicious(it was delicious as well). Food came very quickly, and the staff were very helpful and kind. Will come again and recommend to others, thanks!
Awesome food with a beautiful yet simple presentation. The waiters and staff were very kind. Id totally come back and recommend this restaurant to all my friends and family.
I really like their food but I think its a little on the expensive side.
Always fantastic breakfast food and service. Extensive menu too!
Reminder to self: do not order the pancakes. For $12 you got two round pieces of stale wonder bread with a tablespoon of syrup that claimed to be real maple syrup but wasnt Gross.
So nice breakfast
Cajun steak is not Cajun at all. But not a bad steak, just no seasoning or Cajun style toppings. The eggs were a little overcooked but understandable with takeout. All in all not a terrible experience but did not impress at all.
I brought their Strawberry Nutella Waffle and it was so delicious definitely was my favorite . Thank you so much for making a delicious breakfast .
Been here since I was in my early teens with my mom and brother. Food is always amazing and for a good decent price. Love the steak with eggs Benedict. Will always be my choice of dish when I come.
Delicious, good quality food. The sandwiches are amazing. Dessert crepe is amazing. Haven t had a bad experience and I order take out from here every other week.
So order the Super 8 and Breakfast Special plus 2 coffees. Wow. Food was luke warm, home fries under cooked, bacon fatty, sausage greasy and pancakes no taste. Get this Coffee was $4.50 per cup and again luke warm. Total bill $32.00. What a waste.
Just decent place. Nothing special. Ordered via DoorDash. When I arrive for pickup, they gave my order someone else. Asked me to wait, misplaced a lot of items. Can t ask much from them...
Best orange juice ANYWHERE, hands down... friendly service, good food, great prices, nice aesthetic/atmosphere.
Ordered French toast for takeout. Was very good! Came with real maple syrup and Nutella too I like that they have turkey bacon as an option.
Nice breakfast place. Ordered takeout from them and got a good amount of food for a decent price. Can t wait to try the food more fresh when Covid is over.
Friendly staff and fast service. Were here most weekends, pretty much regulars now . The all day breakfast is our go to order and our son usually gets the kids waffles with chocolate milk. Very good value for the portions you receive. One time, I ordered outside of my usual breakfast and got the peppercorn burger thinking it was going to be a thin patty, it was a giant burger and was delicious! Better than most burger joints. I will be ordering out of my usual to taste more of the menu. Keep it up! We love your spot.
We ordered two salmon eggs Benedict s. The potatoes were raw, the salmon pretty low quality, and the sauce just a salty mess. I haven t returned food for years, but I called and they agreed to a refund. Upon returning they were being very difficult and ended up refusing a refund because their cash register was closed . What s even worse than wasting my time after calling me in was the fact that I SAW TWO OF THEIR CHEFS COOKING WITHOUT A MASK. If they re this petty about $30, you can only imagine how cheap they are with their food quality. I should ve eaten something of better quality like McDonalds.
The place was renovated a couple years ago and is now much better than what it used to be. The menu is a little pricey but the quality has improved. I really like the hungry man. I had requested for the eggs to be scrambled and fluffy. They were done perfectly. It was possible to share with the kids while we ate. Overall, I think they re doing quite well the place was very busy.
Great breakfast, fast service!
We enjoyed a nice Sunday breakfast here. The portions are a good size and the prices are great, especially given the area we were concerned the price for breakfast would be really high. The restaurant is a seat yourself environment and is very child friendly. In fact we were surprised at how many children were roaming around and saying hi, very cute. Food was great, I ordered too much, but the staff were great and able to give a takeout container for my leftover pancakes. The biggest meal they have is actually big and their hot sauce was a nice west Indian touch. My girlfriend enjoyed the well prices and well prepared eggs Benedict. One point of concern was what seemed like a lack of attention from wait staff. When we finished our meal no one came to pick up our plates until presumably after we had paid and left.
Okay. Their potatoes could be crisper.
What a hidden gem! They serve amazing all day breakfast and service is wonderful with a big smile.
We have been going to this little neighbourhood diner for many years...a gem! Fresh, tasty breakfast all day long.
Good quality food. Service a little underwhelming.
Over priced breakfast that lacks seasoning, especially the home fries, and the coffee is separate. No change in product since the mini Reno.
Have been ordering food from that place for quite a while now, but somehow the quality has gone down. I ordered grilled cheese today and after eating half of it i noticed there was mold on the bread. Beware people, after talking to the person who works there, i got a feeling that she knew about the problem but still served the moldy bread. Never gonna order from there again
Adequate English Breakfast, good service
I love this place...breakfast is why we go!!! Awesome food and great prices and the friendly staff and superb service!!!
Good Breakfast
The food is delicious. The price is family friendly. The restaurant is very clean and most of all the staff is friendly and professional.
All day breakfast
Very good food at reasonable prices.
Good taste
This was my first ever time coming and I mostly enjoyed it. Service was pretty good and fairly fast. They served me water without me having to ask. Prices were moderately low too. I ordered the Eggs Benedict. Im not a food critic, but I personally enjoyed the eggs benedict very much. However, I thought the home fries were bland.
Foods were good, nothing to complain. Servings were fast. Egg Benedict is something nice to have when you cant decide what to try.
Nothing special, u hungry and youd want a quick food then go here.
Burger special was inedible and didnt come with anything on the side.
Chill restaurant and staff, well prepared food, tons of breakfast options, all at a good a price. The interior isnt the nicest but still has a good vibe to it.
Its not bad for a quick bite. I had breakfast there. Got the skillet. It was cooked alright, but the cheese was not of great quality (probably one of those grated Black Diamond cheese blocks) and not melted with the rest of the food, so you can actually pick out individual pieces of grated cheese, which is not how Ive ever had any of my breakfast skillets before. Wasnt served on a skillet, but served on a plate, which is fine. But for what I paid, Id expect a little bit more, or for it to cost a little bit less. I have paid for really interesting and unique brunches that are of a similar price. So that was disappointing. The service was not bad though. Coffee was never empty. Food came out quick. The restaurant is clean. Parking is sufficient as theres not too many other restaurants/stores in that plaza competing for space. Overall would probably not come back again, not because it was bad, but I could probably find something of a similar quality at a lower price point, or pay a similar price point for something better. But in a pinch, it worked fine for that morning.
This place is an absolute gem! Amazing food, great and super fast service, big portion size and wonderful price! Can t say enough good things about this place! Will be back next time we are in Toronto.
Delicious and fast
Good food and service, the breakfast menu is rich and varied (see pictures). Its open seven days a week; starts at 7am and closes at 16:30. The prices does not fit in the affordable category and according to my personal appreciation its slightly overpriced sometimes, but overall the place offers very good value for money in a descent environment. Its located just above Besarion station on Sheppard Avenue across the street from Canadian Tire and Concords presentation center. Nearby, there is Shater Abbas kebab bistro, Subway, a Japanese Fish /Sushi market, a barber shop and a MEC store. A convenience store, Pizza Pizza and a pet gadget store are nearby as well.
Standard breakfast fare but well priced. Definitely would return.
Use to eat there when we lived in Thornhill and remembered they had great breakfast so visited when had a an appointment in the area.
Great food, great service!
Wonderful restaurant for breakfast brunch and lunch. Food was if amazing quality and served up fast. The portions are large so bring your appetite. Service was quick and friendly. Defently one of Torontos better breakfast spots. Looking forward to returning soon in the future.
Was not opened even though ours indicated the restaurant should ve been.
Fantastic diner in the North York area. This diner is extremely busy regardless if it is week day or weekend. The prices here are very affordable, and for the quality of food you get, it is just a steal. I love their burgers. The cheese is nicely melted on top of the patty, and made fresh to order. This is a great spot for brunch and lunch. Highly recommend and its a great way to support local restaurants.
They have a great mexican breakfast special if you might like spicy? Fairly busy on some occasions. Highly recommendable.
Friendly staff. Portion was big. Skillet was tasty but Big big was okay and a little pricey, each 13.99$. And there is a thing that I didn t like, the chefs didn t use any gloves and they made and prepared the food without any disposable gloves. It s not hygienic.
Food was horrible and the service was even worse! Cant believe some people here calls this place a gem! Its like an abandoned business... The washroom was in bad shape too... Avoid at all cost. Just go to a nearby McDonalds
Food was ok. Place is a bit small.
Amazing brunch spot!! Come here at least once a week. Delicious coffee, and have tried a variety of different options from the menu and they are all great. Especially love the eggs Benedict. Looking forward to trying new items from their new menu.
Our neighbourhood place for breakfast or brunch. The place is clean and staff always courteous
