Sunny Side Up Cafe
15800 N Oracle Rd, Catalina Foothills, AZ
Crema's Take
“This is a classic breakfast-focused cafe where the kitchen takes its time getting things right—think generous portions of properly executed comfort food like chorizo biscuits and gravy rather than trendy specialty coffees. The vibe is deliberately slow and social, drawing families and regulars who want to linger over their meal, though consistency can be hit-or-miss depending on the day. If you're in the Catalina Foothills area craving a genuine neighborhood spot with solid service and zero pretension, it's worth a visit; just manage expectations that this is about the full breakfast experience, not coffee as the main event.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Our server was great, but the food was horrible. We had 4 at our table. 3 hated the food and 1 of us, me, tolerated it, but absolutely won't be back.
Classic hometown diner with hospitality as the centerpiece. Also, quite kid friendly. I had biscuits and gravy with chorizo and it was everything it needed to be. A true delight!
