Bristol Sunset Cafe

The Bristol Sunset Cafe was the highlight of my trip to Bristol. For those who have not been before, do not show up without a reservation. Our friends made a reservation at 8am so we could just be seated by 12. It is definitely worth the wait to go through this process to be able to go. When we arrived there was an older lady (probably a Karen) who literally made a reservation a half hour before she arrived and was yelling at the hostesses in the front because they told her she was approximately 2- 2 1/2 hours away from her table being ready. She then proceeded to go in and yell at someone, and then stormed off saying she would never come back. I was very impressed with the hostesses reactions, they were very professional. If that’s the energy you are bringing to this cafe just go home, trust me they won’t miss you. The food was tremendous, and the service was incredibly streamlined. You can tell that they have this system down easily. I had the sriracha eggs Benedict and it was phenomenal. I would go back there again just to get it. The corn beef hash and potatoes had so much flavor. It wasn’t too spicy either. The lemon blueberry French toast was also good and very sweet. The lemonades are also delicious, I would recommend trying one of them as well, they come in a variety of flavors. Can’t wait to visit again one day, thanks!

Went here for brunch. The vibe was nice, it was very busy with a long wait. The food was really good but I didnt like the homefries, they were a bit dry and flavorless. Corn beef hash was amazing. Martini was very nicely made, and waitress was very sweet. I would recommend. We had to find street parking

Bristol Sunset Café is a great breakfast place! The breakfast here is unbelievably good, with fresh, flavorful dishes that never disappoint. Not to mention their delicious espresso drinks. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. The only downside is the wait time, which can be long during peak hours—but it’s well worth it. Highly recommend checking in online to save time. Definitely a must-visit if you’re in the area!

10/10 definitely recommend! The atmosphere is cute and relaxing. The service was great! Ok now on to the food. I knew what I wanted before I stepped in. We got the Sriracha Benny, Lemon curd french toast and Anchor burrito. The benny was not a cheap girl, SHE WAS HEFTY!! Real corned beef (not that canned stuff) piled high on a THICC (yes 2 c's) biscuit with egg (i got fried) and sriracha hollandaise sauce. BANGIN! The biscuit is so pillowy soft you dont need a knife, cuts like butter! The combination of flavors worked perfectly. Then the lemon curd french toast...slap ya momma good! (I do not condone the slapping of mommas) The sweet bread with the tart lemon curd and sweet blueberry jam was the perfect balance to tickle the palette with happiness. The anchor burrito (you could get as a scramble or omelet) came out hothot! Fresh af boy! Can't go wrong with chorizo, cheese, broccoli and eggs. Dont walk, run and try it yourself!

We were lucky and got seated right away! The food was delicious and the pancakes are huge, we had a nice experience and the restaurant is very cute. I prefer my chorizo with a little more spice, but otherwise - good breakfast!

We travel to Bristol RI JUST for Sunset Cafe, we wake up in CT at 4am so we arrive at their door for opening at 7:30am. The food is absolutely AMAZING, the people are so awesome and kind, the atmosphere is perfect!! It’s our favorite breakfast spot!! If you are in Bristol definitely swing by here, but plan ahead they are a very popular spot, but SOOOOOOO WORTH EVERY minute of your time!!! Trust us!! PS. If you have never had a BOLO, get one!!!

Well, in short—what a disappointment. Cute spot, clean, service is fine—though you shouldn’t expect much in RI. But the kitchen has no clue… the meal was a horrid mix of hot and cold “creative” mess on a plate. Even the most basic concepts of food prep were missing. I guess the same “creative” approach is happening in my trash bin—though at least that has a consistent temperature...

6/24 Sunset Cafe located on Hope St Bristol RI. Came inside past the outside seating on Hope St and had a 5 minute wait for a table for three. My avocado toast on sourdough toast, included avocado mashed on toast with, red pepper, bacon, onions , sautéed spinach topped of with feta with poached egg. Quite tasty. Others had a sausage, cheese and egg sandwich on white toast and another had an omelet with toast. The toast came with fresh jam. They both said the food was above average. Outdoor seating, coffee tasted great and they also serve mimosas. Plenty of free on street parking and the pricing was also above average and below expensive. Good seating in two rooms, staff were both attentive and helpful, clean restrooms in back of side room. Nice breakfast and lunch place. I’ll come again.

The wait was a bit long, but it was a Saturday morning so it was to be expected. Their waitlist feature through Yelp made it super convenient to save a spot in line ahead of time! The food was absolutely delicious and everything was cooked perfectly. I got the goat cheese, spinach and bacon omelet and my husband got the OG Benny. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. My favorite part was the ambiance! It's a cute spot and the tables are spaced enough that even on a busy day, you don't feel like you're in each other's space. Highly recommend and I will be back!

Cornbread hash is great, well everything on the menu is. Service is the best Love this place.

Yes! Go here! Be prepared to wait for a table at busy times, but this was delicious. I got take out to bring to colt state park (just make sure you ask for utensils if you don't have them in your car). There is a full bar area and a bunch of tables plus a couple small tables outside. I got the "so good sandwich" and the "so good" was an understatement . It was delicious! The perfect breakfast sandwich. I added the avocado and got the side of home fries. The home fries were soft and flavorful. They could have sold more time on the griddle to get crispy but even without that I could eat a bucket of them. We also got the OG Benny which was tasty. They put the hollandaise sauce on the side which was a great take out idea. Coffee was nothing special but good and not super expensive compared to other places for a latte. I will definitely be back!

The best breakfast/brunch spot in Bristol. There's a reason why it's so popular and busy all the time. The food is amazing -- every single time I've gone, it's been so good, fresh, and delicious. It's so cute, a very nice and aesthetic cafe vibe. The best part is that it isn't too expensive either. A must stop!

Stopped in to try dinner on a Friday night. I was surprised to enter a basically empty restaurant at 7:30. Especially with the breakfast crowd they get here. But after trying the food I can see why. Sat at the bar and split 2 appetizers. Ordered the chicken wings and calamari. The menu says the calamari is served with banana peppers and chourico. There were literally 2 pieces of chourico and just as many peppers in the dish. The calamari itself was not crispy at all. We ordered the chicken wings plain and they were just tasteless. They have no Pinot Grigio, which is usually a standard wine. There are some craft beers that didn't appeal to my companion, so he settled for a Narragansett. Wasn't impressed with the first go around. Will possibly give it another try at some point.

We have been going to the Sunset Cafe for a few years now and I just realized that I have never written a review. IMHO it is hands down the best breakfast place in this area. It is relatively large with a nice sized counter. Plenty of space that is comfortable. Service is amazing. Everyone is friendly and looking to get you whatever you need. Now onto the food and drink. Coffee formulations are amazing per my wife. I just drink Red-eyes. The breakfast offerings are all good. It really doesn't matter what you order. It will be perfectly prepared. My favorites are the veggie omelette made with egg whites and a side of corned beef hash. The hash is made by them and it is simply fabulous. Eggs are always made as you ordered which is unique these days. The home fries are amazing as well with a perfect blend of spices. If you go on the weekend, do the call ahead seating. Otherwise, you will be waiting for a while. Give it a try

Wonderful spot for a nice brunch on the weekend. Be warned that it fills fast, so put your name ahead on the waitlist. Service was very friendly and the food was well prepared and fresh. Loved the ambience and they have a little outdoor seating as well

I want to say all the staff were very welcoming and always checking on us! We did a quick stop in last night. I ordered an Affogato to freeze for the morning. Nick ordered the Little Clams and Buffalo Wings. The Little Clams were very tasty but I do not recommend their buffalo wings at all! They were over-fried and very dry. No sauce at all. The affogato was delicious this morning!

All around amazing!! The in house hot vanilla latte was to die for. The pancakes were thick and fluffy and everything you want on a chilly Sunday morning! The sausage and bacon were delicious and perfect size for a side. The service was quick and friendly, always checking to make sure we were all good. The place was clean and decorated in an aesthetic fashion. It was busy but they had a great flow going! If you are in Bristol I definitely recommend!

Absolutely our favorite breakfast/lunch spot. Truly have not have had anything I didn't like here. Also, waitstaff and all employees are extremely nice and service is top notch. Did I tell you about how things are plated? It's a feast for your eyes. Also, went last week for their dinner service and that was amazing as well. You definitely won't be disappointed!!

Great breakfasts! Friendly staff! Good drinks! Happy to have found this quaint little place

Amazing service, terrific food. We love all the artwork and hanging plants here. Quickly became a fave when I moved to Bristol a few years ago.

They were very busy when I arrived but I was given an accurate wait estimate and was seated promptly. (It's a relatively large place.) Service was very good, food was excellent (home fries very crisp, benny was lush with sauce). The only thing that could have been better might have been the OJ (did not seem fresh squeezed), but overall I really don't have any complaints. Definitely recommended for brunch!

I love this place! I get the old number 6, now the "secret old number 6 ". Yes, it is still popular, so if you liked the old number 6, here is your chance to get it with a fun spin of calling it te secret number 6 :) the food is great! This place always has a wait on the weekends, so be prepared if you go then. It is a beautiful spot in a beautiful town. We drive about 30 min to come here. After a nice breakfast go for a walk around the town and visit the cute shops.

Awesome food and service. We love the variety on the menu. The place is clean and quant!

Imagine an awesome breakfast then times that by 100x. This place really cooks some great food and worth the wait! A+++++

Cute place with comfy atmosphere. Food was delicious!! Breakfast served till close and I love the choice of grilled veggies with my omelette! Servers were friendly and very efficient. We will definitely be back!

Breakfast or lunch the food is ALWAYS consistent and delicious! The restaurant itself is a trendy relaxed vibe and has outdoor seating! The service is always excellent and makes you feel welcomed! 10/10 should definitely try!

Having lived in places where diners are a thing, it's always sad to me that New England doesn't really do them--at least not as I know them. There have been many weekends when my wife and I have craved a giant, random menu and a case of desserts, only to find none. Bristol Sunset Cafe is not a diner, per se, but it's close--but also better. It was a little trip for us from Providence, but not bad. On the weekends this place will have a wait also, since it's the only game in town. But it will be worth it. We've sat both at the bar and at a table in the dining room, and the service each time was excellent. All the food we've tried has been very good. It's all clearly made on premises with quality ingredients, and the whole place seems to take pride in what they're doing. Even the biscuits are good, which I did not really expect at all. But the thing that we keep talking about is the butternut squash hash. When my wife ordered it the first time I politely declined a bite until we were waiting for the check, when I finally gave in. This stuff is magical. On our second visit, we just got a side of this to share. It's that good. It's sort of a casserole, sort of a bread pudding. I could tell you what's in it, but that won't give you any clue as to what it's really like. It's fantastic. Overall, this is a great spot. This part of Bristol is good for a walk before and after, and a stroll around town after a delicious breakfast from this place is an almost perfect Saturday.

My wife and I love going to Sunset. Everything is always so delicious and the atmosphere is lively. Can't go wrong.

Service was great and food was delicious! Will be back again. Wait time was not long even on a busy weekend.

Great great restaurant already planning my way back ! Food service prices and the beautiful setting ...can't ask for me ! Honestly I was pretty close to ordering another entree to bring bk home with me ...try the pasta seafood dish omg !

This place is the real deal for breakfast! The staff was wonderful. The inside is much bigger than it looks from the outside and has plenty of seating with a cozy feel. The food tasted fresh and everything was amazing. The menu has several sweet and savory options with a long list of sides.

I hadn't been to this breakfast spot before and have always wanted to check it out. I have to say it didn't disappoint. It's super clean, friendly , helpful staff. The decor is uplifting and bright. I happen to pop in on Tuesday morning. It was not busy at 8:30 which was nice. We felt like we could really enjoy a leisurely breakfast. Everything was delish and priced reasonably. We both enjoyed a vanilla London fog tea which was very tasty. Our bolo breakfast sandwich was yummy as well. I definitely will be back to try there other specialties. They also sell breads to take home.

My daughter and I came for a late breakfast on Saturday January 18, 2025. Definitely utilize the waitlist option if you are doing the call ahead option. Wait times can be long. That said it is Worth The Wait. I ordered the So Good omelette and it lives up to it's name perfectly prepared and so delicious My daughter ordered the pancake with strawberries and one was more than enough I also ordered the chai tea which was a little bid of heaven in every sip. Highly recommend

12/10! Amazing food, great and friendly service! Super cute on the inside and beautiful handcrafted drinks. They also have the waitlist option so it bring more convenience to waiting

Best breakfast - delicious fresh food! Great friendly service. Atmosphere is warm and welcoming! Love this place!

Had a great Saturday brunch here. The option to add your name to the waiting list online worked perfectly! We tasted a little of everything and loved it all!

The food is phenomenal great choices an the bacon is delicious nice area to go explore

Highly recommend brunch! The menu has so many fabulous looking options it was impossible to choose so my family shared a number of plates among us. Everything delicious but a standout was the cornbread hash which I have never had before and absolutely loved.

Bristol Sunset Cafe was recommended to us by a local and it did not disappoint. The restaurant is really nicely decorated and we got there early enough that we were seated immediately. I got the Cajun Shrimp Benny while my husband created his own omelet and also got a side of corned beef hash. The portions were really generous and everything was delicious. The food was amazing but my favorite thing from Sunset Cafe was actually the Iced Chai. Best Chai latte I've ever had - strong chai flavor and the perfect sweetness. I went back the next day just to get it again.

Food was good. Service was great. Parking kinda sucked and sitting by the door was too cold but overall good experience.

My friend and I are here for a few days and tried Sunset Cafe for breakfast. We both had an amazing omelet with homemade toast and home fries. The eggs were fresh and the omelette was not dry. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. The place is small but has two rooms. Definitely recommend this place.

Always amazing breakfast options!! Service is great and usually very despite busy weekends.

Amazing food nice people. The restaurant is nice and spacious. Been there a lot in the past few months no complaints at all. I do switch up my order sometimes but still the food is great!

Love sunset Café, friendly vibe, delicious fresh food, and lots of it if you're in the area, it's a definite must

This place just never falls short. Another great brunch. If you have not used the waitlist function on yelp then you're missing out it really helps avoid the wait. If you know me then you know that decor of a restaurant goes a long way with me. This place makes you feel very warm and cozy.

The have great food. They have great expresso. They have great service. They have a great atmosphere. If you are headed there around mid-morning, use the Yelp app to get a reservation so that you don't have to wait for a table.

Let's start with ambiance, this place is super cute and the coffee bar is a nice addition. Servers are always pleasant and I haven't had a bad meal. Let's talk coffee, they make a great drip and specialty coffees. I particularly like their lattes, they taste like coffee (dark roast) and not milk which reminds me of European coffees. We've eaten here a few times, not pictures are their biscuits and pancakes - both delicious. Plan on a wait unless it's early weekday morning.

Food is always fresh and yummy , staff and owners friendly and personable. It's my Dads favorite place to go ! BLT yum and lots of healthy choices and delicious beverages .

Host was friendly and seated us quickly. We had breakfast and it was very good. The butternut hash was very tasty.

Great place in the heart of Bristol RI for breakfast or lunch Very friendly staff - many family members Can't go wrong trying it out

Great food, great service, fanatic cappuccinos!!!! My new go to breakfast stop. Prepared for a long wait on Saturdays.

Best service, delicious homemade breakfasts and lunch and I have always had a great experience at Bristol Sunset Cafe. Love the ambiance too!

Hi guys my husband and I had breakfast last Sunday it was delicious as always. I peaked in the kitchen to say hello but you were out straight with orders. Looking forward to our next breakfast. Keep up the good work!!! Ellen loconto "Just Ellen's

AMAZING SERVICE! The servers are incredibly friendly and attentive! Love the food and the location!

The only thing good at this place is the yogurt bowl. Sour hollandaise. Inability to cook a poached egg correctly. Microwaved bacon. Tasteless home fries. Burnt coffee. Dirty tables. Banana bread that tastes like a mixture of ginger and cardboard. Overall, it was awful here and it looked so promising based off of the reviews. Never again!

Food was excellent, service was friendly and prompt, interior decor was very pleasing. We hope to return soon.

Excellent food, service, people. Great way to start your day. Beautiful, clean restaurant
