Sunshine Cafe is a small, cute shop that is tucked right across from the UC Davis medical center. The staff here are very friendly, welcoming, and have such a unique menu. Food and drinks come out very fast. FYI they do not take AMEX here, but they take everything else like VISA. The items I ordered here were the Sunshine wrap and the Japchae set. I got Korean beef for both items and it was honestly a hit. Lots of umami and the portion was large as well for the japchae. I loved the addition of potstickers on it as well. The Sunshine wrap had plentiful of veggies that made the wrap so crunchy and fresh where I felt like I could eat 2-3 of them haha. The beef was superb and a nice addition to the wrap. Highly recommend. Overall, they have a lot of healthy food options and coffees to choose from. Even better is that they are all at a very affordable price.

I always have a great experience when I come to Sunshine Cafe! The staff are always very friendly and greet you warmly when you enter. Of note, they are open 7:00-3:30pm and also have daily specials everyday. You can call ahead to place an order or order there, and the food comes out fairly quickly. Items tried: - Japchae set: One of their signature dishes! This set comes with a large portion of japchae noodles, a few of their potstickers, rice, and kimchi. You can choose the protein that you want, and their beef is delicious. The whole set is all very tasty and I would get again. - Sunshine wrap with baked, breaded chicken: I was pleasantly surprised at how fresh this tasted, and it felt like a healthy meal since it was not overwhelmingly saucy or greasy. I loved the breaded chicken which was not super crunchy and had a great flavor overall. - Panini with turkey and side salad: The panini comes with protein, avocado, tomato, and caramelized onion which made the sandwich so delicious! You can choose turkey or breaded chicken for the protein, and it also comes with a side salad where you can choose the dressing. I love coming to Sunshine Cafe for a great and healthy meal, and they also have coffee and a breakfast menu if you come in earlier in the day. Definitely recommend!

I love this place. The workers here are ALWAYS beyond friendly. The woman that usually works the cash register always calls customers "sweetheart" and is always happy and smiling. Their food is simple and delicious. I come on my lunch breaks at the hospital to quickly scarf down food so it is SO nice how quick your order comes out. Highly recommend, this place and their staff are so amazing!!!

We love this hidden gem. Susie said they have been here for the past 17 years. Time surely has flown! They do cater mainly to the hospital workers bc their hours are M-F 7-330. No holidays or weekends. If you work at UCDMC then they will mostly likely be open during your day work hours. We have been retired for 9 years yet we still frequent here mainly ordering to go. There is space here to eat indoors & outdoors. Our favorite is their large chicken breast salad which is made fresh once you order it. My wife did decide to order their beef bulgogi & japchae combo with salad instead of rice. She loved it so much she didn't share it. She really loved those fried potstickers too! It's fine bc I ordered a beef bulgogi wrap which was ultimately so delicious as well. I ate it up all in one sitting. Woohoo! We always return back bc we love their food here. If you don't want to wait just call them ahead of time for your order & Susie will get it ready for you! Another favorite my wife favors is their Friday special of grilled salmon with rice & salad. Sunshine cafe is such a perfect name for this small family business bc of their awesome great tasting food & fabulous service they give you to be sure you are happy with your food! So tasty, delicious & consistent! We always will return! You can ultimately count on that.
