Sunny Side Kitchen in Escondido

This place is fantastic for breakfast and lunch. The people here are very kind and homely. The vibe is great and the food is even better. Pro tip: there’s parking and seating in the back! Also, try their cookies!

10 stars for sure! Smells like my memier’s kitchen. Went for soup but got delicious artichoke, tomato quiche baked to perfection. Very charming, quaint and simply perfect. Charming service, as well.Today 2/20/2023 it was Tuscan Chicken Salad. Likely gets very busy during meal hours but so worth it! Best little gem I’ve experienced yet, but so worth every second & every crumb. My favorite little homestyle restaurant Ever, so please don’t come here. They’re too busy for YOU. Quiche took nearly 17 minutes because they reheat to perfection, consistent, even temperature in an actual oven. Likely, NEVER NUKED, no microwave 🚫Salad was as fresh as fresh can be. So Good.

The staff is very friendly, personable and welcoming. My 3rd time coming in I was greeted by my name it was such a a wonderful feeling. I was visiting for work but I will definitely visit next time I am in town. Great coffee, Panini, pasta salad and quiche. You cant go wrong with anything you order.

My husband & I stopped here to grab breakfast. I had been here once a few months back and thought it was a great place to split breakfast since it was late in the morning. They have sandwiches (panini) and quiches. We split The Works. It hit the spot. You even get a bit of fruit on the side. Great taste and texture. Worth stopping in. The staff wears masks and there is outdoor seating in front and the back. They even cater too.

Lovely little shop that feels like youre at home as soon as you walk in. Staff were bright, welcoming and customer friendly. The aromas of toasting bread and brewing coffee filled the air. Owners are nice and accommodating. They gave us free cookies because there was an issue with our order (we had no idea, we were busy admiring all the decor and merch). Hubby had The Works panini, and I had the Wake Up Esco. They were beyond good and surprisingly big, but not heavy or greasy. The wake up had some spice to the chicken but was balanced with the pickle and cheese. They make fresh lemonade using real fresh squeezed lemons. Yes, please. I ordered the strawberry lemonade and was it ever refreshing. Im a fan and would recommend this place everyday.

I scarfed down my sandwich wayyyy too quickly to snap a cute photo, it was SO GOOD. I ordered the good day sunshine, the sunshine sauce was lit lit 🔥, the sourdough had like cheese and rosemary/thyme baked into a crust on its outside and that was the touch that made this the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever eaten. The girls working here are so nice too, this Michigan boy will be back, Sunny Side!

I dont know if this is a family run operation. But, it feels like it.... in a GOOD way. Not in a dysfunctional, resentful, bickering family kinda way 🤣. Maybe, in a I wish my family were this charming. kinda way. Hard to find genuinely good service these days. Couple that with good food, and this place nails it! Oh, I didnt come for the brownie. But, made an impulse purchase on the way out. Fing WOW!!

Food was flavorful and well prepared. Im just disappointed because they charged me 4.50 for a 12oz or less housmade lemonade and they filled it up 90% with ice. I finish the drink halfway through finishing the sandwich. I had 4 sips and it was gone. I understand its freshly housemade, but at least offer your customers a free refill if they dine in and tip 20%, in my opinion.

Stopped here from my friend Franco’s suggestion. What a Diamond in the rough! I had the famous breakfast sandwich and it was world class! It’s a nice little diner with kind people. Kate was awesome 👍

This was a great little breakfast and brunch spot. For the panini sandwiches, I recommend getting a whole, theyre the perfect size.
