Sunshine Cafe

As my rating suggests, I loved this place! But let me start with a warning that will help you enjoy your experience: it’s a quirky local spot owned and operated by one person, so temper your expectations. The prices might seem a bit high, but considering the current economy, they’re justified by the shockingly good ingredients.

What you order may not be exactly what you imagined, but give it a chance. For instance, I posted a picture of my partner’s “avocado toast,” which turned out to be more of a sandwich. But you know what? It was great. Similarly, I ordered a salami “hero” that was served on a roll instead of a traditional hero. As a self-proclaimed sandwich snob, I initially felt misled. However, the simple sandwich was so good that it instantly made me happy. It reminded me of how the right ingredients can really elevate a meal. The bread was freshly baked daily by the owner, and the high-quality ingredients, including homemade mayo, made all the difference. She even gave us a homemade “hot sauce” which, while not what I’d typically call a hot sauce, was AMAZING. I even tried to convince her to start selling it on its own because it was that good.

I don’t eat out a lot anymore—I’m frugal and picky, especially when it comes to sandwiches—but this place left me feeling genuinely happy. That’s a shockingly rare occurrence nowadays.

If I haven’t convinced you yet, let me add that the owner seemed to know half the customers who came in, and they knew her. Seeing regulars is always a great sign. She also let me try a Moroccan Tagine Meatball, and it was SO good.

Lastly, indoor dining space is limited. This isn’t a problem, but you should temper your expectations—if you hit a crowded moment, you may not find a seat. Just take it to go!
