The Original Sunrise Cafe
805 N Main St, Meridian, ID
Crema's Take
“This beloved Meridian institution nails that authentic old-school diner experience with genuinely friendly service and impressively generous portions that'll have you leaving happily stuffed. The real draw here is the breakfast spread—particularly their Big Biscuit Breakfast and chicken fried steak—paired with solid coffee and a cozy, homey atmosphere where locals linger over their morning cups and conversation. It's the kind of place that doesn't need to be fancy because the food, warmth, and no-fuss charm speak for themselves, especially if you're lucky enough to catch standout server Tiare during your visit.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Opens early. Family friendly.

Best breakfast I've had in a long time! I love the old school diner feel, too. The people there were great as well! I think it was called the bug biscuit breakfast. Perfectly made biscuit with sausage and egg on top smothered in gravy. So good.
The restaurant is a little run-down, but don't let that fool you about the food. The food is really, really good here at a decent price. Their portion size is also good. Love going here for breakfast. The staff have always been super friendly, and the service is usually pretty…
