Sunshine Cafe: Queens, NYC

The kitchen runs on from-scratch recipes by a Moroccan grandmother, where even the standard accompaniments get careful attention. Beyond the baking, the menu relies on house-made herb sauces and homemade mayonnaise to anchor tuna sandwiches and house pastries. Ordering the lentil soup delivers a full setup with lemon wedges, dipping sauces, and rich olive oil alongside the rolls, while the counter also operates as a small juicebar.
