Sunshine Spot Restaurant

They didn’t get anything wrong but it wasn’t extraordinary. Food, service, ambience was average. Ordered eggs Benny with smoked salmon and crispy chicken sandwich. Good if you need a change of pace or something quick in the immediate neighborhood, but otherwise not memorable.

Walked in at 2 pm, an hour before closing. Sat down, they were vacuuming the store. Fine, I understand they need to clean, but once a customer sits down, it’s rude and unacceptable to keep vacuuming. Being the only customer, the message given was I’m not important enough to stop their cleaning and provide a decent atmosphere. No class.

When you’re tired of McMuffins and are in the mood for a real breakfast that’s simple and filling and won’t break the bank, go to Sunshine Spot. It’s what you’d expect from a diner-​style breakfast, with slightly underdone home fries and plentiful heaps of scrambled eggs and breakfast meats. The benedicts are a reliable choice, and the OJ is freshly squeezed. The specials are usually an adventurous departure from their usual fare, and are worth trying. It can get really busy on weekend mornings though, so anticipate a busy atmosphere at those times. But crowds are a good sign here, I think :)

Heard great things about this place came by for Sunday brunch but was disappointed we ordered the eggs benedict the steak and eggs and a kids meal my eggs were blanched not post and vastly undercooked unfortunately the steak was a little salty and not perfectly consistent with the other orders we saw coming out by the end of everything with one extra orange juice the bill was close to $ 50 we waited for service and the wait staff seems he prioritizing Cutlery over bringing us additional copies and our bill not thrilled

This is my neighbourhood go-​to breakfast/​brunch place. Good portion, good price, and an all around hole-​in-​the-​wall good feel. Their fresh squeezed orange juice is actually freshly squeezed. It’s a very popular neighbourhood eatery so it gets crowded during the weekends, may need to wait a while for seats if going there close to noon.

This place has closed down more than a year ago it is now a different restaurant kind of a bit fancy seems upscale, had the soup (takeout), not able to rate it
Sort don’t remember name

Great all day breakfast, but the place is a dirty and very old. The food was good but the chefs very touching everything with their hands. If you have allergies, you should be careful with cross contamination here.

Highly unprofessional, as others have pointed out. They close way before the 4:30 pm that’s stated at their door. Been there twice at 3:30 and it was already closed.

Overall a good spot for breakfast.
I wouldn’t suggest the pancakes, not the best I’ve had.

So I have been here twice and heir breakfast ends at 3 pm. I went once at 230 and once at 245. Both times the staff was sitting eating and said today we closed early as its a holiday. So if u want to have breakfast go early or don’t go highly unprofessional place.

Me and my friend tried this place one morning after dropping my wife at work a couple months ago and wow were we disappointed. Thanks for leading us to a dump all you 4 – 5 star raters. Oh and 3 out of 4 Google + reviews are fake, obvious by the broken English and lack of background from the reviewers. Shame on you.
I had the eggs benny and it was horrible, runny and bland sauce, bad and under cooked homefries with worse service. My friend had a standard eggs and bacon breakfast which she said was also extremely underwhelming.
Not only was the food horrible and the price too high for what you get, but this place would be better served as a adult film store due to the bad lighting than a restaurant calling itself the «Sunshine Spot».
With two great breakfast places nearby, Windfield’s and Valley Fields, why anyone would ever go back here is a mystery to me.

Yeah, the place looks a little worn out, but that food!
We got two orders of eggs benedict, and I gotta say that I have not had the two perfectly cooked bennies in a long time. Their hollandaise is spot on, and pamel bacon is cooked with the right crisp.
Don’t forget to add orange juice to your order. They squeeze fresh right in front of you.

Smoked salmon Benedict was great. The eggs were cooked just right. It’s a hidden gem in the neighborhood.
It would be better if their deco was newer & more modern. The restaurant looks very old.

I don’t get it. Why does this place get such awesome reviews?
Maybe things have changed a lot since the positive, 4 – 5 star ratings were made. When we first arrived, I actually overheard the table next to us exclaim that the menu and the food had changed so much since they had last dropped in ~7 months ago.
Having received a Buy 1 Get 1 Free (with a mandatory drink purchase) coupon in my mailbox, the hubs and I decided to come here for brunch. We both ordered the Eggs Benny. I ordered mine with a small glass of fresh-​pressed orange juice plus an extra side of hollandaise (y’know, as a shooter, the way normal people do — heh heh) and the asked for regular bacon and a coffee. Replacing the peameal bacon with the regular streaky type came at no extra cost, but the hollandaise costs an extra $ 1.99 served in one of those small metal cups that often holds melted butter for lobsters. If you substitute the bacon for spinach, smoked salmon, or other protein, it will cost an additional $ 1.99.
My orange juice was alright, it wasn’t very sweet — maybe it’s not orange season yet? Forgivable, given that I don’t expect produce to be perfect, but I do wish it were served cold rather than tepid.
The hollandaise sauce didn’t really taste like much of anything, and I’m pretty sure it came out of a can rather than being house-​made. The English muffins are served untoasted, so you’ll have to ask for them to be toasted in advance if you prefer them that way. Potatoes were OK, grilled to a crispy brown on one side but seems like they didn’t have enough time to flip it over to the other, totally ungrilled side. On the plus, the hubs’ eggs were served pretty perfectly poached.
At the end of our meal, we went to pay the bill and was mischarged 3 times — the cashier kept cancelling and re-​entering the order, charging for a large size orange juice ($ 4.99) rather than a small ($ 2.99). In the end, she ended up still cancelling the small orange juice and punching in a large again. We didn’t realize it until we had left, but given that she had forgotten to charge us for the extra hollandaise we were only overcharged by $ 1 so didn’t bother going back in.
It’s a really convenient location for those of us in the Willowdale area and the price points are quite reasonable, with the most expensive breakfast item topping at $ 12.99. If you have 2 for 1 meal coupon, your meal with a drink will cost about $ 10 which is pretty good considering that’s what you’d end up paying even at fast food places. All in all I’d come back again for convenience, but if you’re in the mood for some serious brunching I still prefer the downtown area.

New menu less items. Seems like it went downhill after the menu has changed. Wasn’t too impressed by the food. Was extremely disappointed with the service. Server came back multiple times to ask for our order when we didn’t even had a chance to read the menu. When we wanted the bill she was just talking on her cell phone so I had to go to the cashier to pay coz she was obviously not paying any attention and when I asked for a box to go. She point in the direction and told me to get it myself. Pretty disappointed with my visit this time. Usually it’s been your average all day breakfast place but today was way below average. My husbands steak was way too salty and my breakfast tacos was too cheesy. The home fries weren’t even cooked enough. Oh and almost forgot to mention, my husbands orange juice had a fly inside. But she did exchange it for a new one.

This unpretentious little spot in a tiny strip mall serves excellent breakfasts. Omelet was delicious as were the home fries, which were fresh and not too greasy. No one in our party ordered one of the berry topped omelets, but they looked fantastic. They do also have varying daily specials.
Friendly and helpful service might be a little slow when busy. No ambience to speak of. Small size of restaurant makes it unsuitable for large groups.

What a wonderful little breakfast spot and so close to home!
The Sunshine Spot is this small restaurant serving up brunch options like an All-​Day Breakfast for $ 7.99 or little specialties like eggs benedict, french toast, and breakfast tacos/​sandwiches. This place is only open for breakfast and lunch so as soon as the sun sets, you’re out of luck. The menu options are plentiful and they have weekend specials like the Big Big (Breakfast for the big boys… and girls).
Speaking of which, the gf ordered the Big Big ($ 12.50) which is 4 eggs, 3 bacon strips, 3 sausages, homefries, toast, and your choice of french toast or pancake. I opted for the eggs benedict with steak ($ 12.99) and despite how good the Big Big looked, I think I made the right choice.
The Steak Eggs Benedict was something I’d been looking for for quite some time. Steak and eggs are God’s gift in breakfast form. Throw in the fact that you have poached eggs drizzled in hollandaise and sitting atop an English muffin makes it that much better. The steak is a whole ny striploin though so none of that fancy cut steak strips. The eggs were done perfectly and the hollandaise was good. The muffin was barely capable of holding the beast though so they’re gonna need a stronger base. The home fries are whatever. Just normal potatoes with no secret spices or anything.
You can also get freshly squeezed orange juice here along with some damn good food. For the limitless number of brunch spots in downtown Toronto, it’s nice to find a decent one uptown in this area. The place looks rather small but is deceptively spacious. Definitely make your way over if you’re in the area and want some brunch (that isn’t dim sum).

Two stars because the food was ok.
My friend ordered «The Greens’ Egg White Omelette» On the menu below all the Omelettes it states «All omelettes served with toast and home fries» however when the waitress took our order she told us that the omelette my friend ordered didn’t get toast and home fries. I pointed out that the menu clearly says ALL OMELETTES. but she said that omelette was special so that didn’t apply. Great way to make your customers annoyed by putting deceptive advertising in your menu.
I don’t know if it was just the day we visited but the clientele was a bit sketchy. The customer at the table next to us was complaining to his friends loudly about the terms of his house arrest that he was under (not sure why he was in a restaurant if he’s under house arrest).
This last thing is a bit nitpicky but the pictures of the food in the menu looked like they were taken on a cheap cell phone, not appetizing looking at all. Businesses should really spend a couple hundred bucks to get a pro to take the pictures of their food because if you don’t, right away it makes your place look like it cuts corners and is mediocre, which this place is.

Really good breakfast /​brunch spot in Toronto. This place serves up tasty food! It’s not the most hipster in ambience but do not judge a restaurant by its appearance. I call it «family style». The restaurant looks small on the outside but there’s plenty of seating inside and it’s kind of easy to miss but you’ll be glad to try this place if you like breakfast food.
Onto the review…
Coffee is light and mild — usual diner style. It’s pretty cheap at $ 1.50 for bottomless.
Service is on the slow side. Seemed like there was only one person running the front of house.
Their Bennys are great. Excellent hollandaise sauce! I tried my friend’s bacon cheese melt on English Muffin. It’s up there with the best of ‘em. Served with potatoes. Tip: ask for potatoes to be cooked extra crispy. It tastes much better this way!
Perfectly cooked over medium eggs, delicious rye toast (two kinds too — light and dark: D), and choice of meat — for me it was bacon day! It came with like 5 strips or something like that. I was kind enough to give away a few :)
Moderate prices, good food, a keeper!

I have always noticed this restaurant in passing, was always curious and finally took the plunge to see why it is always so busy on the weekends, I would have to say it is your typical breakfast spot. It looks very small inside but there is actually alot of room and it fills up quick on weekends.
The food is just your average breakfast and lunch options. Its fine, nothing amazingly tasty but if you are in the area and want to grab a bite, this place is acceptable as long as they are not too busy because then the attentiveness from the server seems to be lacking.
