Verrrry good breakfasts! This is our Go-To any time we are on vacation in Ocean City, New Jersey. The food is fresh, made to order and the service is phenomenal. They also have lunch specials however I have never availed myself of that particular meal. There breakfast, however, knocks it out of the park. I highly recommend getting there early because the place can fill up from all the local and out-of-town clientele who call Sunrise Cafe their 2nd home for breakfast.

We were looking for a breakfast sandwich shop and found this cafe! Couldn't ask for a better sandwich, you definitely need to check it out!

Cute breakfast place! The food was super affordable, especially for the area (2 eggs, potatoes and toast for ~$5). The banana bread French toast was amazing! Staff was friendly and we only waited 10 minutes for a table, even on a rainy day on a holiday weekend.

Employees are treated terribly to the point that they didn’t have enough staff to open on July 4th weekend! They are a shady business that does not pay employees for time worked or overtime. Drip n scoops donuts are awful. Food here is terrible at sunrise. Dockside and Deadend are good but they stole all of their recipes from other establishments. Literally got caught in fractured prune stealing ideas for their donuts. Con artists. Do not work here or support these businesses. You have gotten away with it for this long. Lawsuits are coming your way.

Found this ocean city treasure a couple years ago on our last day of our vacation and loved it. Just went back this morning and was quite pleased again. I love the artsy and creative dishes offered. Atmosphere is very cafe like with fresh sunflowers in vases on each table. Bright and welcoming. I had the pulled pork and egg with avocado burrito and was just as tasty and juicy as I anticipated. Service was good. Waitress came by a few times checking up on us (this is what I expect in a sever!). My other friends really enjoyed their breakfast meals as well! Thank you we will be back!

Cheerful yellow restaurant with cute ceramic mugs with the sunrise cafe emblem on them. Breakfast was great, nice thick wheat toast, delicious fried red bliss potatoes with onions, eggs cooked just right!

Great breakfast spot. Donut french toast is as good as it sounds and surprisingly not overly sweet. Empanadas were fantastic. Sit outside if it's nice out but beware the flys.

I know people love UBPH, but this is my favorite breakfast place in OCNJ. They have a nice small menu but with really good food. They have healthy alternatives and classic heart attacks on a plate. They added a covered outdoor area which makes seating even better, especially in the hot sun or the rain. They sometimes have a fly issue they need to find a way to consistently address.

This place is such a bad place to work, they can't even find enough workers to open for the summer. Dirtiest kitchen I've ever seen, take your business elsewhere.

Stopped here early one Saturday morning in September. They have a nice outdoor seating area which is covered so you are out of the hot sun and weather. The service was prompt and friendly. The food was okay as well. A nice large portion and it was not over priced. Pictured is a bacon and cheese omelet. I would have liked to have given this eatery four stars but in truth there was nothing about my experience that made me want to go back again. It was just okay.

2 stars because the wait staff was very friendly and the french toast was very tasty. However, $6 for one kids pancake that was 5" . Literally $6 for one mini pancake - no drink or potatoes just one lousy pancake! Also, my omelet was brown on both sides. Eggs shouldn't be brown. Everyone knows the shore is a rip off for food but this place was just ridiculous.

This is a must when in Ocean City. The Nutella French toast are excellent and they give large portions of food. You will never leave hungry. We enjoyed eating here every time we visit the coast. The wait times in the summer are also pretty reasonable considering the amount of traffic in and out of this great vacation spot.

The food was awesome and the meal was very filling. The wait staff was very nice and got us everything we asked for and quickly. The Santa breakfast was also very fun for the kids and my youngest was so excited. My only complaint is that I got the sunriser meal which is pictured here that comes with 3 sausage 3, bacon 3 pancakes and 3 eggs as well as hash browns and toast. However the amount of eggs was only about 1, maybe 2 small eggs. I didn't say anything because it was already a lot of food and I didn't finish everything but if I'm paying for 3 eggs it should look like 3 eggs.That being said the bacon, sausage and especially the french toast was super good and I'd honestly go back tomorrow if I lived closer.Make the 3 eggs actually 3 eggs and you get 5 stars for sure.

I'm a huge fan of this place and have been eating breakfast here for a few years when I get a chance. During this bizarre time of lockdowns and masks we happened to walk by and see NO LINE. This is unheard of. So we pounced on the opportunity to be immediately seated and served within 10 minutes of sitting.Don't assume the Sunrise Cafe is going to have a monumental wait. Go and check. We sat right down and it was fantastic.

I am sorry to say we had a terrible experience here today. My husband ordered the chip beef with homefries well done. He couldn't eat it because the gravy tasted like flour besides that home fries were not well done and were cubed roasted potatoes not home fries.I ordered an omelet with peppers, onions and mushrooms and the peppers were not fully cooked. I passed on the potatoes and toast a d asked what I could substitute. They said fruit for an upcharge of $2. I was served a very tiny bowl of fruit.I was halfway through my meal and had to ask another waitress to get our waitress. Finally she came by but couldn't stop because she was delivering another tray of food. The first waitress came by and saw that the plate full of food was still there and asked if he wanted anything else. At this point I was done my eggs and he declined. There was a quick sorry and she took the plate. Our original waitress brought the bill and nothing was said about the meal.We definitely won't go back.

Appropriately named Sunrise. Serves up yummy breakfast with a smile. My sunrise special was enormous. Eggs were done perfectly. Crispy bacon, albeit too salty for my taste. Sausage was good. Potatoes were nicely done. Service was super fast and friendly. pancake .... Or rather two pancakes were HUGE!

Really good food. It's small inside, but they have a nice covered patio out front. I've been several times, and everything I've tried has been great. The past two times I've been there, I ordered off the specials menu. Both entrees were delicious (Lemon Poppyseed Pancakes and Meat Lovers Omelette - names might not be exact). Hopefully they both make it to the regular menu because I would order both of them again in a second.
