The Sunrise Cafe
701 N El Camino Real, San Clemente, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked on a San Clemente corner with genuine small-town charm, The Sunrise Cafe is a beloved mom-and-pop spot where the staff genuinely cares about dietary needs and the kitchen executes comfort food with impressive skill—think perfectly crispy hash browns and creative omelets like the Ortega chile version that locals can't stop raving about. Whether you're sitting outside with your dog or catching the nostalgic local photos inside, you'll find the kind of warm, attentive service and hearty portions that make this independent cafe feel like a genuine neighborhood gathering place.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly.
