Sunshine Cafe | Silverthorne
For 30 years, this classic breakfast place, located in the Summit Place Shopping Center, has been known for simple décor, good prices and a lot of food. Accordingly, it attracts all types. You can’t go wrong facing the day with a huge, delectable three-egg omelet (my fave is the Santa Fe, topped with a spicy pork green chile), but someone in my party always wrestles with the choice of thick oven-baked wheat cakes or pancakes (the Banana Nut is awesome). Always good to see Trout & Eggs on the menu, and the younger demo gravitates toward the Snowboarder’s Jump Start, a breakfast sandwich with eggs, tomatoes, cheese and avocado on sourdough bread. Extra kudos for the friendly and quick servers—I’ve never had an empty coffee cup, even when it’s nutty-busy.
