Sunrise Bakery & Cafe

i love sunrise the chef salad is amazing. the server was so sweet. breakfast is great and the staff is so friendly

I am a big fan of Sunrise, some locations more than others. This one to me seemed to make smaller portions than the others. Perhaps the management at this one wants to cut back on food cost, and for the most part that’s an ok thing– helps us stay healthy– but, I want a big omelet when I want a big omelet darn it, and theirs was way smaller (like ½ the size) than others. However, fast friendly service– the workers bust butt and all customer seem very happy to be there. The atmosphere is more country feeling.

Breakfast with grandson was delicious. He told waitress they should have the pumpkin pancakes all year long they were so good. Great amount of food and service was great. Good home cookin’.

Absolutely love this place, it’s my favorite place to go when I go out for breakfast. The cinnamon rolls are amazing and I am not a huge cinnamon roll lover but they have mastered that. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good breakfast place they are usually super busy so there may be a bit of a wait but totally worth it.

was good until they forgot 3 of our 9 orders. then they acted like they didnt even care. not even a discount or an im sorry given, had to take the kids to mcdonalds so they could eat. abosolutely the worst service i have ever gotten… and i eat out alot!!!

Food was ok. Service was subpar, and they started closing an hour before they closed. Literally vacuumed under my table and were changing out condiments while we were eating. There are far superior places in Boise to spend your money.

I really usually love this place but it seems to have fallen off a little. I found a red, coarse looking pubic-​like hair in the mayo of my club sandwich! I seriously gagged. I can’t ever eat here again. I don’t even think I can eat a club again…

Throughout the years I have yet to find a biscuits and gravy that is better than the Sunrise Café’s! Their biscuits actually have an authentic homemade biscuit flavor; not dense or hard as hockey pucks like most other greasy spoon breakfast spots. Then there is the gravy… perfect consistency, seasoning and balance of sausage. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
Absolutely nothing hits the spot like their Big Biscuit Breakfast. It’s a halved biscuit with each half topped with a thick sausage patty (that I swear they make there too), an egg cooked to your liking, and then that amazing heavenly gravy poured on top! Oh yeah, and it comes with hashbrowns too! The PERFECT breakfast. Well, unless you are my husband who swears by their chicken fried steak.
If you need to satisfy your sweet tooth then get a cinnamon roll. They are huge and you can order a half of one which is just one made smaller. They serve it with a runny frosting and a lump of butter on it that all just melts into gooey goodness.
We have been going here for years and have never been disappointed. The quality is good and the serving size of the food is just right. The staff have always been friendly and have been working there for years. They show their team spirit on game day by wearing their BSU garb. The inside has really improved over the years once smoking became banned in restaurants, but it still has that greasy spoon hometown charm that you would expect.
If you are new or visiting the area then get yourself to Sunrise Café in Meridian. If you live in the area and have never gone here then you are truly missing out.

Been going here for over 10 years. It used to be my favorite place for breakfast. It’s very popular and is often very busy. I don’t know if my tastes have changed but it’s just not as good as it once was. I’ve noticed the change over the past few years.
The food is okay, used to be great. I’ve noticed it’s not very consistent as it was the first few years I frequented.

I discovered this place while making a delivery nearby. Now, I have breakfast here Every time I’m in town. Great food. Friendly staff. I wish I could come more often !

Good Lord but they feed you to fill you here. And the food is great. The staff is friendly and efficient, the menu is huge, and the décor is so full of tchotchkes that it’s a fun greasy spoon sort of place good for the whole family.

Nothing special, nothing awful. A dinner that wants to be more than a greasy spoon but never will be.

This is a pretty good place. I was torn how to rate it. I think 5 stars i just not enough. My rating for the Sunrise would be somewhere in between 3, which is Ok and 4, which is Im a fan.
So would that make my rating «Im an Ok fan?»
I have been here about a dozen times over the last few months. I try to not write a review based on just 1 or 2 visits. Any place can have an off day. God knows I do. :)
I think the 1^st thing to note is the place itself. The décor leaves a lot to be desired. It is small and rather dingy. It reminds me a little of a truck stop diner.
The seating here is Seat Yourself. I am not sure if I am a fan of this sort of seating. Very few places do this. Though it seems that of the ones that do, they are mostly breakfast houses.
If you come late for breakfast on a Saturday or Sunday, you might not be able to find a table. Its usually pretty crowded.
The food here is good. The bacon is always crisp. The hash browns are crisp. The pancakes and light and good. The eggs are usually good. My only real complaint with the food is that when they are busy, it might not be as hot as it should be.
My other objection is one that is common to pretty much every breakfast place that I have been too. When I get scrambled eggs, they are cooked like its an omelet, then at the last minute, they are cut up to resemble scrambled eggs.
I have not had anything bad here yet. The service is good. Sometimes they get a bit slow, but this is due to them being so very busy.
I do recommend this place. I just wish they would get a makeover.

Probably won’t be coming back ever. Food was cold and undercooked. Asked for crispy hash browns and they were uncooked on one side and almost burned on the other side… tasted like soggy potatoes with little flavor. The ½ waffle came to the table ice cold… almost like a frozen waffle that didn’t get heated… seriously, it was ice cold.

We eat here every time we are in town. I have tried the other resteraunts in town, this is our favorite!

Great food in a typical small town diner. We always go for breakfast after our daughters soccer games. I love the country platter– not a meal for dieters obviously. Their cinnamon rolls are amazing and hubby enjoys their pancakes. The only thing we have ever been disappointed with was their blueberry muffin– small and tasteless and a waste of a side item. Everything else is great. Excellent prices for the amount of food you get, service is always super speedy and we never wait long for a table– even when we come in with a huge group of two families. A hidden gem that the regulars appreciate.
But don’t come expecting a fancy breakfast– just excellent diner type food.

This place has great food and prices. Plus the service is outstanding. The griddle had Goldie’s have nothing on this classic diner. My wife and I drive from Nampa every weekend. Sure the place is rough around the edges, but it’s worth it. Plus they have farmer brothers coffee, the best diner coffee IMO.
Responses to negative reviews: The seating isn’t confusing. You walk in and take a seat. If the restaurant is full you wait. I’ve never had to worry about my spot in line. I’ve never waited more than 5 minutes. The place could use a deep cleaning, but it’s not nearly as bad as some of these reviews make it sound. I’ve been to several diners in the area, they are all similar in that regard.
If you love classic diner food and atmosphere this is the place in the treasure valley IMO.

All the food was made with fresh ingredients. The eggs were perfect, pancakes light and tasty, hash browns golden brown, great bacon cooked just right. Friendly, courteous service. Clean and pleasant. Great place to take the family. I give it a four because the coffee was not up to the quality of the food. It was just okay. Good value.

Good food and selection if you happen to be on Main St. and your hungry for breakfast. Very friendly staff, and service. My wife was please with the ability to customized her breakfast. The interior is quite dated, but on par as old time neighborhood café atmosphere. Reasonably priced. If we happen to be on Main St. at breakfast time, we may stop in again.

Another Meridian locals hang out, but doesn’t compare at all to Goldy’s or The Griddle. Greasy spoon diner. I repeat what Amy J says about the bathrooms and overall cleanliness. Pretty bad.
