Sun Break Cafe

awesome food by Jason B. at InsiderPages

The food is fantastic here! Seriously the scrambles are amazing and the bread is awesome. Something about this place, the food is just very good, try the bacon! Best I've ever had. My wife and I drive from Kent to go here usually two to three times a month.

While there can be a wait, I have to disagree with those that say it's long, even if the line is out the door the wait is never that long as to be unbearable.

Rude Owner

by OffendedDiner at Citysearch

After calling ahead to alert the staff we would be a party of 14 we arrived to wait in line like all patrons. Our group was split all across the restaurant among 4 tables all seated at different times. We requested to wait for a large table so more of us could sit together. The server argued with us and immediately went to get the owner. The owner came greeting us with "Why am I out here, I should be in the kitchen cooking", we said we don't know why he was out there we just wanted to know if we could wait for a larger table. We were then informed that there was another restaurant across the street that perhaps we should go to because this restaurant doesn't have time for this.

I do not understand how asking to WAIT for a larger table led to being told to go to another establishment across the street.

Clearly this owner, in these difficult economic times has no regard for customer service or courtesy.

This restaurant in the past has always had waiting lines wrapped outside the door on weekends. At 10 am this saturday morning there were 6 individuals waiting in line before us. Clearly a considerable drop in clientele.

Perhaps the owners rudeness has turned off other potential diners as well. How long will this cafe remain open? Hopefully not long.

• Pros: Location
• Cons: Rude Staff

Best Banana Bread Ever

by MapleValleyGirl at Citysearch

Yes, you do wait, so plan on being leisurely and go with someone you like to talk to. Coffee is very good, banana bread is worth buying a loaf (or two!) to take home, eggs and hollandaise are delish. Each breakfast portion is easily two meals. Yum!

• Pros: Banana Bread, Eggs, Coffee
• Cons: Chorizo

Yummmy!

One serving feeds two easily; long lines on weekends.

Worst customer service!

by Tracie24 at Citysearch

It took 2 hours to eat at this restaurant on Sunday mid morning. The line was not long, but the service was horrendous. The portions are large, but still over priced. The food is not that good! They over charged my husband and I $35.00. The incompetent waitress said she voided the sale. It has cleared our bank account. The reaction of the owner Bruce was that we were wrong and he hung up on me. In this economy not someone you want to give your money to! They are not a Better Business member, probably because they couldn't receive good status! The one pancake for 6 dollars was ridiculous. Not as good as IHOP with higher prices and terrible service. That is pretty sad!

• Pros: The original wait not that long, but once you are seated plan to wait!
• Cons: Service, owners attitude! Presentation of the wait staff!

Good large portions of food with most tables in use

by dinerofnote at Citysearch

The Sundbreak has really large breakfast menus and food selections. The scrambles for breakfast are especially good and good to take home for a later snack. You will not walk away hungry. I would give this place a five stars for food however it gets less than four for the the following reasons:

On Saturday and especially Sunday mornings waiting lines can be really long. They cannot accomodate more than four people very well and seating at tables are limited. Handicapped and high chair access is not good due to limited tables. Table service can also be very slow at busy times and the coffee is just OK.

Good food can be worth the wait but consider the time and access issues if you have a larger group or any combination of handicapped and highchair children.

• Pros: Good food and large portions
• Cons: Waiting lines, crowded and limited tables

Huge portions

by meganwa at Citysearch

The portions are huge, the food is very good, and the service is great. We have been there many times for breakfast and lunch. Sometimes the wait is a little annoying, but it's worth it. They have a bowl of individual servings of different flavored creamers for your coffee, and offer homemade banana bread in place of toast if you want at no extra charge. We usually get half orders of the breakfasts and even the sandwiches at lunch are usually too big for one person. Some people say it is spendy, but I don't think so. It seems to be the same price or cheaper than IHOP, but the portions are bigger and the food is 100 times better.

• Pros: food, portions, service
• Cons: long waits sometimes

Best place in town,,, bar none.

by docrw at Citysearch

I love this place but don't go often because it's a little pricey. The portion size is unbelievable, it's hard for two people to eat one order so all in all the value is there. It's usually busy so you will have to wait.

Order the banana bread instead of toast,,, YUM!

• Pros: THE FOOD and amount
• Cons: maybe the coffee

A "gotta go" there place!

by volitioner at Citysearch

Even if I go on Saturday morning at 9, and the line is out the door, I WAIT! NOWHERE can I get a breakfast as good, as fresh, or as healthy! yes, a healthy breakfast! You can have all egg whites if you want-they don't bark at you!-and they have turkey, chicken, salmon. You name it. Omlettes that are as good for you as they are tasty! Now that's a wothwhile difference! New red potatoes for hashbrowns-who'd of thunk it?

Now I make em at home that way too! i know several of us that "gotta go to Sun Break" at least once a week. Lunch is great too!

• Pros: Fresh, healthy, Variety
• Cons: too small, too much food

Best Breakfast around

by drhutch at Citysearch

Best breakfast I've had in Washington. The only downside is the long wait. Great omlettes, coffee and bannana bread. Great ownership...very nice people. The restaurant isn't upscale but is very clean. Great value and worth the drive, and wait.

• Pros: value, food, friendly staff
• Cons: , crowded, auburn

Belly Busting Breakfast

by boeing_leo at Citysearch

There are 2 things I've done wrong at Sun Break. First was ordering the full size omelette, since I had to eat it for 3 days after I left there due to its enormous portions of potatoes, banana bread, and eggs. Second, was showing up bright and early on a Monday morning....closed. But, this place is just awesome, the food is great, bring an appetite, the waiting staff is friendly and cute. All I can say is don't plan to do much for the rest of the day since you will be stuffed til dinner. Great place! The newly remodeled area really makes it look nice.

• Pros: great food, good parking, great staff
• Cons: can get crowded
