Sunshine and Pa’s
Sunshine and Pa’s got its name because the niece of one of the owners used to get woken up by her grandmother with a muffin and the words “Good morning, Sunshine.” So the niece started calling her grandmother Sunshine. The owners wanted to recreate the warm family atmosphere that Sunshine and her husband, Pa, created in their home.
Great breakfasts and lunches are served up at Sunshine and Pa’s. They have lots of different egg dishes and lots of eggs benedict plates. Try the Lobster benedict for a treat!

They are proud to have been voted as having the best Bloody Marys in the region. They have a full liquor license and serve local craft beers as well
Try their Bacon Jam and Cheddar Cheese Omelet or Toasted Coconut French Toast for breakfast, and come to their fish fry on Friday evenings.
