Is there parking at Sunnyboy?

Street parking is available right in front, though it can fill up during peak breakfast hours. Arrive early or be ready to circle the block—North Park lot turnover moves fast, especially on weekends.

What should I order first?

Start with the egg and cheese biscuit (add avocado if you're feeling it) and the hash waffle—both are exactly what this place does best. The chicken biscuit is solid too, though fair warning: these aren't fluffy Southern-style biscuits, they're denser and more savory.

Can I bring kids here?

Absolutely. It's casual, approachable, and the portions are generous enough that you can order one plate and split with a little one. The vibe is neighborhood-friendly, not precious.

Do they have options for vegetarians?

Yes, they offer vegetarian options including the egg and cheese biscuit with add-ons like avocado, plus sides like hash waffles. Call ahead if you need specifics beyond standard breakfast fare.

Is there outdoor seating?

They have both indoor and outdoor seating, so you can take your coffee and biscuit outside and watch North Park happen. Great spot for warmer mornings.

When's the best time to go?

Weekday mornings will be less packed than weekends, but arrive before 10 AM on any day if you want to avoid a wait. Everything here is made fresh and in-house, so service isn't lightning-fast—plan accordingly.

Do they do reservations or is it walk-in only?

Walk-in friendly, though they also offer catering if you're planning something bigger. Call ahead during peak times to get a sense of the wait, especially for groups.

Sunnyboy Biscuit Co. — San Diego

“Sunnyboy Biscuit Co. does Southern breakfast without the drawl — dense, buttery biscuits built for actual eating, not Instagram nostalgia.”

While North Park's 30th Street corridor leans heavy on craft beer and wood-fired everything, Sunnyboy stakes its claim on a different kind of craft: biscuits that don't pretend to be your grandma's recipe. These aren't the fluffy, cloud-like Southern platonic ideal — they're denser, butterier, engineered to hold up under fried chicken, sausage gravy, or whatever you pile on. That density is the point. A soft biscuit is great until it disintegrates halfway through your meal.

The fried chicken biscuit gets rosemary in the breading, which is either a welcome variation or a minor heresy depending on how you feel about messing with the formula. The hash waffle is the sleeper order — crispy, substantial, better than it needs to be. The chicken fried steak comes with gravy that does the job without pretending to be from a Texas diner.

The space itself is cottage-sized, with outdoor seating that catches morning sun and indoor decor that leans into a kind of retro-breakfast aesthetic without overdoing it. Parking on Park Boulevard is the usual gamble — street spots turn over fast, but there's not much off-street backup. Mornings get crowded, especially on weekends, but turnover is decent since most people are in and out within 45 minutes.

This is North Park's answer to the breakfast-spot question when you don't want avocado toast or a breakfast burrito. It's hearty, unfussy, and honest about what it is: biscuits done one way, done well, with enough variations to keep locals coming back without needing to reinvent the menu every season.
