About Us

Independent, sun-soaked and made for locals.

Independent, sun-soaked and made for locals.

Sunny Side Social is an independent café built around good habits: coffee roasted nearby, produce sourced with care, pastries from small-batch bakers and a room that makes strangers feel like regulars. We care about the details — compostable packaging, low-waste prep, seasonal suppliers — but we keep the mood easy.

Best brunch on the southern end. The chilli eggs are bright, generous and never too heavy — perfect after a swim.
