Business Hours
Another great thing about Sunny’s is their business hours. They work every day from 7:30 am! But you should grab something delicious to eat as soon as possible as their closing hour is 2 pm.
In any case, it’s so nice to just walk in any day of the week to get the whole Sunny’s experience. You don’t have to worry about weekends or different business hours based on the seasons.
If you want to avoid a larger crowd, visit Sunny’s on Thursdays. Most people come to Sunny’s on Fridays through Tuesdays.
Decor
Sunny’s decor is on point! The space isn’t the biggest, but apart from the location, Sunny’s interior is one of the most beautiful. Sunrays will bathe you from the large front window when you sit down to enjoy your morning coffee.
Bright wall colors and plenty of green plants will lift your mood anytime. The whole experience is quite intimate. Small round tables are placed close together, and you can sit along the wall on a comfortable sofa. It’s more of a vintage look combined with a modern design.
They also have this really cool side section dedicated to aromatherapy and health products in their health shop. Sunny’s has wellness programs called Sunroom Events, where they discuss all the benefits of a healthy way of living.
So, apart from enjoying the delicious food, you can visit their shop and buy various lotions, creams, and tonics.

Prices, on average, are around $10. One of their most famous dishes is “Sunny’s Special Tacos,” which is gluten-free and vegan. For some, that’d be too much for a taco but keep in mind everything’s fresh and super healthy. The most expensive dish on the menu is the Acai bowl.
The food at Sunny’s looks good and tastes amazing. So, when I went to the restaurant, I ordered the Curry and chicken salad. I was a bit uncertain about it because I’m not the biggest fan of curry, but it was a game-changer. The salad was super fresh and tasty. Definitely check other items on the menu — you won’t regret it.
I also need to mention Sunny’s beverages that you need to try. They are a bit pricey ($10 to $12), but their smoothies are super healthy and taste great. If you need something stronger to wake you up, they have the “Wake Up Call.” It includes:
