Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and experiencing it at Sunnyside Up only increased this admiration for morning chow time.
Sunnyside Up is a restaurant in downtown Corvallis, dedicated to using fresh and nutritious ingredients. They try to prepare every part of the meals on location and use organic foods as much as possible. Best of all, they display a wide range of breakfast dishes.
"If I am eating breakfast out in Corvallis, this place is my absolute first choice." Said one reviewer on Yelp.com.
Another said, "What I liked is that the menu is not dogmatic. What I mean is that if you want to order meat dishes, you can. And if you want to go vegan or vegetarian, those options are available as well (which is pleasing to my spouse)."
The restaurant sounded promising, but getting food was not my only goal. I wanted breakfast, but I wanted it to be stupendous.
Stupendous ended up not just being about food, but also included a peppy atmosphere.
Polka dots jumped across the green and orange walls while bold shapes gave off a hip vibe on lamps hanging throughout the room.
Whimsical paintings decorated the walls with bright flowers and swirly strokes. This place had style and was not afraid to show it.
I was ready for an adventure and it started with where I chose to sit. One place stood out more than any other.
It's called, "the community table." A place where people can sit together, whether they know each other or not. This table is big enough to hold six or eight people but there are no chairs.
Instead, the table resides on a platform accompanied by more than a dozen colorful pillows to lounge against.
When I scanned the menu, several plates looked appealing.

Homemade granola, blueberry pancakes, and huevos rancheros all sounded great, but there was one dish that really stood out:
Suncakes.
Suncakes are veggie pancakes that come in three different varieties. They are served with a fresh bowl of fruit and yogurt for dipping.
Because today was the day for an adventure I decided to go for it.

Without searching further, I ordered the sample plate which included sweet potato, zucchini, and sweet beet pancakes.
This was not just any meal.
The flavors hitting my taste buds were new to me. The sweet potato went down first and brought a sensation to my mouth that made me smile. It was a tad crunchy on the outside, warm on the inside and sweet all the way through. The beet suncake was not too far off.
These two competed to become my favorite.

I tried the zucchini and was surprised by the taste. Perhaps having salsa to dip it in would have complimented its taste but, overall, it was a little too much onion flavor for me to take on.
The good food I found definitely outweighed this minor disappointment and I can recommend Sunnyside Up to anyone ready for classic home-style breakfast or those looking for something a little more extraordinary.

I finished breakfast satisfied and ready to come back. Starting the day with tasty foods from Sunnyside Up was a good idea.
My next good idea: to do it again.
Maybe next time I'll have time to chat while lounging at the community table.
