Sunrise Cafe — Restaurant in Pennfield Charter Township

STOP! Your search for the perfect sandwich is over.

Get this… on the specials board: “Ranchers Steak Bagel”. Huh. I’m like… what would a rancher put on a bagel? WOWSERS!

A generous amount of chopped (tender) ribeye, egg, (I got mine fried. I’m messy enough) American Cheese, cream cheese, onions and MUSHROOMS… on an Everything Bagel. OMG- THE BEST FRIKKEN SAMMICH EVER. This sandwich was dripping with cheese, and richness, and love, and sunshine.

(I almost pulled a Meg Ryan and go all “Harry met Sally” in there… but I could see a nice lady in another booth that would have been offended.)

My husband would like me to mention he thinks they have the best pancakes in town. They probably do. If they’re anything like this sandwich they’re probably made with the blessings of unicorns, because I heard a lot of “ITS SO FLUFFY!” from across the table. But I didn’t eat magic fluffy pancakes. I had the BEST FRIKKEN SANDWICH IN THE WORLD. And a side of corned beef hash, which is also “da bomb baby”.

BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE! They have outdoor seating in the back which was pretty impressive. I walked back there thinking there might be a few picnic tables… but they have a decent sized tent, that covers booths! I bet you could get 25-30 more people in the back. I thought it looked great.

But nothing compares to the sandwich. RANCHERS STEAK BAGEL....

OMG. I’m a big girl that likes “good” food. And this is it. I have found my temple.

The menu is creative, the servings are generous. I had a “Hangover Cure”. Eggs, Hash Browns, lots-o-cheese, choice of breakfast protein, sandwiched between (2) fluffy pancakes… and… (get this) topped with toasted marshmallows. MARSHMALLOWS. I wasn’t hung over, but I almost want to drink and get a hangover, just to see if this is the cure. Hell, even if it isn’t, it’s MAGICAL. It’s breakfast with dessert.

My husband has gotten raspberry cream cheese French toast. He’s a little more sweet and fruity than I am. Just as AMAZING. We spilt an order of corned beef hash. YES! YES! YES! And the brisket!! Oh my stars… the brisket!!

If you’re looking for a quaint quiet bistro or cafe to share an intimate conversation with your new mate… this probably isn’t the place for you. BUT if you want some great food, BigAssHonkin’ portions, creative dishes, and love a greasy spoon diner, with classic rock playing in the kitchen, crowded conversations and the sound of the occasional dish breaking… then this is your temple too. I’ll see you there.

(MARSHMALLOWS ON TOP OF MY BREAKFAST. You know I ate one of those...

Update I was there last Monday 4/3/2023 between 730 and 800 ish for breakfast. The food was decent, very empty so a quiet peaceful breakfast. My only complaint is their is a younger blonde lady who is a waitress ( probably his daughter not sure ) she's not a good at her job ( she takes your order, brings it to you when done and that's that. ) She doesn't come back and check up on you or this has happened, twice with the same girl my coffee was empty at over 2 bucks for coffee I'm going to have more than one cup. She did return when I was ready to leave and ask i said yes I would like more coffee. She's not very attentive, seems to be on her phone a lot and always looks like she doesn't get enough sleep. The started their summer hours so they are not open on Tuesday.

New ownership, new decor inside and outside with cool tunes playing in the background. Food was good, a bit pricey in my own opinion. Bring your jacket it was cold when I was there 12/22/2022 between 8 & 9 am ish. I will have to go back here again.

Not a huge fan of the " convenience " fee, yes everyone is doing it, seems like all fees are being passed on to customerrs who use...
