Sunny Day Cafe Receives State Recognition

Peter Franchot, the Maryland comptroller, presented Sunny Day Cafe with a proclamation this week honoring the restaurant for its customer service.

He hand-delivered a certificate of recognition to cafe owner Laurie Orfanidis Wednesday, declaring Sunny Day Cafe a “great neighborhood gathering place with a mouth-watering menu, great service and authentic recipes” that has become a “notable local landmark.”

Orfanidis, who has been in the restaurant business for 35 years, opened the café in late 2012 with the help of her husband, Nick, and their sons, Evan and Jerry, along with friends, according to Franchot.

Since then, he added, Sunny Day Cafe has become ”well known for its crepes and emphasis on customer service” on Bel Air’s Main Street.

Sunny Day Cafe personnel responded that they were “very honored” to be recognized for the restaurant’s success.

In addition to kudos from the state, the cafe has gotten props from Bel Air Patch readers, who recently named Sunny Day Cafe among the top six places to take out-of-town visitors and best restaurants in the area to dine outside.
