Sunny side is very popular on Father’s Day. We were lucky to get a table without reservations and one that was outdoors. The food was very good, highly recommend the kids menu Pancakes. Enjoyed the experience very much. Will be back again!

My wife and I had breakfast here and can’t recommend enough! I had the Eggs Benedict which came on flat bread instead of toast which I thoroughly enjoyed the lightness of. My wife had the Big Boy pancakes which looked amazing. It was a bit big of a meal but she suggested maybe a “Little Boy” pancakes be added to the menu, maybe in the kids menu? The coffee was great, my wife ordered a juice which she enjoyed and we really liked the atmosphere of the cafe and the staff were super friendly.

Its been a while since I visited a cafe for brunch and had a strong desire to return soon. This has just become my regular brunch place to hang out with friends and family. They have a broad variety of breakfast and lunch options, each of the dishes we tried tasted fresh and delicious. The vibe of the place is super chill and relaxing and the staff are very polite and accomodating. This place is seriously a hidden gem in the Hills

Very nice cafe for us small family with a fur baby. Love the menu options, lots to choose. We’ve had delicious prawn salad, shakshuka, Açaí granola. That was at 2:30pm and grateful that breakfast menu still available. Also there is a menu for dog! How cute… will definitely visit again.

If you're looking for a bright spot on a grey day, look no further than this place! This cute cafe in West Pennant Hills is the perfect place to cosy up with a hearty brunch and forget about the weather outside. Despite the rain and gloom over the weekend, the spread we had was bursting with colour and flavour, like sunshine on a plate. We tried a few different dishes during our visit, and everything was absolutely delicious. The Eggs Benny was a standout, with a unique twist: it's served on a buttery croissant that takes this classic brunch dish to the next level. The Soft Shell Tacos were another winner, with fresh, flavourful ingredients packed into each bite. And if you're in the mood for a classic breakfast, their Big Brekkie has it all. But it's not just the food that's impressive at Sunny Side - the presentation is also beautiful. The Avo Toast was loaded with all sorts of good stuff, making for a satisfying and Instagram-worthy meal. And even the Chicken Caesar Salad was done perfectly, with crispy leaves and a delicious dressing. To top it all off, Sunny Side also serves up some seriously tasty fresh juices. Whether you're in the mood for something sweet or something more cleansing, they've got you covered. Overall, we had a fantastic experience here and would highly recommend it to anyone, especially families. They have a courtyard with a cubby house and play area, so you can enjoy your meal while the little ones entertain themselves. [invite]

So accommodating to dog owners! Brought our two dogs whilst it was raining heavily and the staff were beyond sweet! Food was really good and the pups enjoyed their baked treats and puppachinos!! We came here after being rejected from another Cafe 10mins down the road who said "due to concil hygiene complaint we cant accept dogs anymore" after seeing 5-8 dogs inside already. But there guys restored our faith in dog friendly cafes! Will definitely be coming back!!
