Went to the Sunny Street Café for the first time today and will never go back. After waiting 15 minutes for a table (where there were several available), from the time we sat down at the table until the time we were even acknowledged it was 20 more minutes. Not only did it take that long, but I had to ask the hostess if anyone even knew we were here.
We were finally greeted by a very nice waitress who started to take care of us. Since our family has dairy and gluten allergies, we asked if they could cook the food with oil or a spray as opposed to butter. Apparently, everything is cooked with butter, no exceptions and they have no separate pans for cooking eggs without butter.
To be honest, serves us right for not calling ahead and asking about the allergies. However, the people there have no clue about allergies and even how to respond to basic questions that every other breakfast restaurant we have been to in the St. Louis area always easily answers.
To me this appears to be a case of a business run by people who do not know how to run a business. Took forever to get seated, clueless hostess and servers not even realizing no one was waiting on us for 20 minutes until I said something, and even more clueless about allergies. Most new places know about allergies and I know they cannot always accommodate. As such, don’t waste your time here. You are better off going somewhere else unless you enjoy being frustrated.

Sunny Street Cafe is a 4 star from me. Did you know that they have the best chili on earth!! The people who work there are all wonderful and the service is first rate. It's a very clean cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. I love the burgers and the turkey-club. This is a very comfortable and friendly place with good coffee and resonable prices.
I truly enjoy coming here with my kids they like the dinosaur pancakes and they have the best eggs benedict around. I have never had a problem with the wait, but I don't go to any breakfast place on Sundays. The people that work there are very friendly and accommodating. I recommend this place to anyone.
