Sunny Street Café Whips Up Brunch-Worthy Summer MenuSunny Street Café is serving up a sunshine-filled summer with a limited-time menu packed with feel-good favorites and a few fun surprises, available beginning May 19 – all designed to make the next breakfast, brunch or lunch visit a little brighter.

The star of the new menu is Shrimp & Grits – a first for the brand and a standout example of its expanding culinary range.

Other summer offerings include:

  • Banana Split Pancakes: Buttermilk pancakes topped with chocolate and caramel drizzle, banana, macerated strawberries, pineapple, chopped nuts, whipped cream, sprinkles and a cherry on top — a twist on dessert-for-breakfast.
  • Fried Pickles: A golden, crispy appetizer served with Creole ranch for dipping, here by popular demand.
  • Coffee Cake Muffin: Jumbo-sized and made from scratch daily, ideal for sharing or savoring solo.
  • Vanilla Cream Cold Brew: Smooth cold brew coffee topped with sweet cream and house-made vanilla cold foam.
  • Aperol Spritz: A bubbly, citrus-forward cocktail to toast to summer – available at participating locations.
