Sunny Street Café Whips Up Brunch-Worthy Summer Menu
Shrimp & Grits makes debut, Banana Split Pancakes and more tasty favorites arrive for a limited time.
COLUMBUS, OH — Sunny 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. Featuring sautéed shrimp tossed in house Cajun sauce with bacon, grilled onions, peppers and tomatoes over Southern-style cheddar grits, the dish adds depth and excitement to Sunny Street’s traditionally comfort-forward menu.
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.
“Introducing Shrimp & Grits marks a big moment for our kitchen,” said Corporate Chef Matthew Stasko. “It reflects how our menu is growing bolder while staying rooted in scratch-made comfort. From fun, indulgent pancakes with a nostalgic touch to savory classics with a twist, this summer’s offerings are designed to surprise every guest at the table and deliver smiles.”
The limited-time menu is available now at all Sunny Street Café locations through the end of August, reflecting Sunny Street’s ongoing commitment to inventive takes on brunch classics, served with neighborhood charm and a side of sunshine.
