Bristol Sunset Cafe

If anyone gives Sunset Cafe less than a 5 they are nuts! Everything I have had here is AMAZING! The pumpkin latte is beyond words! So delicious. The pancakes are perfection. Omelettes are so fresh and delicious. The homefries are so flavorful and cooked perfectly. The cafe is decorated beautifully. We drive an hour to go there because once you try the food you will crave it and want to go back often. Please open a second location near Coventry!

Animated cafe abuzz with charm. They have a good sized beautifully wallpapered dining room as well as a bar you can sit at if seating is limited and you don't care to wait. I had avocado toast with a poached egg, arugula, bacon, and hot honey! I've never seen hot honey offered on a breakfast/brunch item before, but it really should become a thing. It was delicious! The Sunny Spritzer was refreshing and tasty too, IF you're a fan of coconut. The staff is super friendly and efficient. If I was staying in the area, I would definitely make this my regular haunt.

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!

Stopped by Bristol Sunset Cafe for some breakfast. Pretty busy for a Friday. Sat at the counter. Grabbed a coffee, water and Sriracha Benedict. Coffee was good, regular cream and sugar. Would have liked to have seen some Stevia. The Benedict was good, comes with a good amount of Hollandaise sauce. Was expecting a little more kick from the Sriracha. The eggs were cooked perfect. Comes with very good breakfast potatoes. Look forward to my next dish.

Best breakfast in town! Pancakes are a must-have! Also give the cinnamon rolls a try! Also the spicy chicken sandwich/ wrap is always a go to f you are looking for something for lunch. Service is always friendly and attentive! Weekends will see a line, but its worth the wait.

One of my favorite restaurants in the area starting from my frist visit. Awesome staff and great service. Food was delicious. Finaly had some biscuits and gravy after so long since it's hard to find it in New England. Will definitely go back. Update: Sep 2025 Have been here over the years but last visit over 2-3 years ago. Always had great service. Came for Biscuits and gravy but they only offer Biscuits with jam now. Since I am a vegan now, limited vegan/vegitarian options. But they had couple of choices including mixed vegetables. They were able to substitute eggs for vegi or avocado on my breakfast item.

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!

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

Staff are very nice and attentive, very nice atmosphere and food is De~Licious!!! Thank you!

Popped in for a quick Black Friday brunch and it did not disappoint! We chose this spot for its great reviews and the short walk from our Airbnb. The service was fast, the food was spot-on, and there wasn't much of a crowd. We joined the online waitlist and got seated quickly. There's a lovely waterfront area nearby too--can't wait to come back in the summer when it's even nicer.

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!

What a great place in Bristol to have a fantastic brunch. From the friendly service to great food and beautiful location. This place was packed and there was a waiting list, but worth every minute of wait. I would definitely return next time in town. Great place to have Breakfast, Brunch or lunch. Make sure to stop by.

The food, the atmosphere, the service... it was perfect! We HIGHLY recommend the Bristol Sunset Cafe!! We'll be back!!

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

great food, atmosphere and location! Also excellent service! highly recommended whenever in Newport County

Food is always great, breakfast basics and also some items with a little extra. Service was pretty fast considering how busy they were. They use an online wait list that works fabulously, we join the list when we leave the house and a 25 minute wait turns into our drive time. Usually by the time we've parked we're ready to be seated.

The food was great. Eggs Benedict and a special , which was banana bread with espresso mascarpone, was amazing. Also the pumpkin latte was great. The waitresses have always been super nice as well

Beautiful restaurant, friendly staff and great food. Family owned we love it! Highly recommend

Popped into this place one morning! Now we've been back two or three times. The food is so good. The host is friendly. The staff are the best. Really enjoy this place and look forward to going back more as we settle into Bristol.

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!

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

Sunset is a very cute place, with consistently good food. My favorite drink is the London fog, and the butternut squash hash is to die for.

Food and service is great however your gonna pay Dinner Prices for breakfast. He's getting greedy ! And I'm not the only one who noticed.

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.

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!

Great place for breakfast or lunch. Good food and service. I always enjoy eating here.

Great breakfast. Great drinks and coffee. Very nice and fast service. Beautifully designed space.

Great prices and selections- salad, fruit, baked goods always perfect and fresh, fun wait staff, delicious food, consistently, which is really hard to achieve but they have surpassed expectations every visit. Thank you for being here!

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.

Always great food , eat breakfast every week here. Girls really are terrific for service. A must go to you won't be disappointed .

The lemon curd, blueberry French toast was over the top and we had the best waitress! Can't wait to return.

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 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 !

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.

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.

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!

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

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

Food, service and price are all a great deal. Make sure to get in the wait-list. Never a bad breakfast, very consistent

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!

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

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

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!

Friendly hometown spot. Excellent food. Good portions. Exceptional service that makes you feel like you're home. Highly, highly, recommended.

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.

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!

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

Excellent food and service. Cute location right in downtown Bristol. Highly recommended!

Great food always! Sometimes a bit of a wait but well worth it! Try the corn beef hash , it's the best around

Delicious breakfast! I can see why it is such a busy place. I recommend using the wait list to get a table.

Three years ago I discovered Avocado Toast at this restaurant and I ordered it most Sunday mornings that summer. I have searched high and low in all parts of the world for Abocado Toast as good as this. But it can't be found! I had some today and it was as excellent as when I first tried it. It's the bacon, and perfect arugula and Hot Honey that push it over the top. I order it with 2 poached eggs..the staff is always welcoming and friendly and so are the people enjoying their meals. It's a lovely family place.

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

Love that they have both standard and elevated diner options. Cute place in beautiful Bristol.

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.

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.
