Cupcakes are supposed to be light, fluffy and moist. This was hard as a brick. Why would you sell this to a customer? When an 8 year old won't even eat it...... Should I also mention taking cash and working the cash register and then touching food without washing hands or gloves? Unsanitary Childhood memories destroyed.

I came here a few times in the past few months and I was disappointed. So much to choose from but…read morethe staff seem unfriendly. The premade cakes in the display are not priced and when you ask questions the staff seem bothered. The bakery is very mediocre but convenient when you live nearby. I picked up a Nutella cake for my husbands bday and a napoleon and pecan bar. They go heavy on the almond flavor so the cake was a bit overpowering - I didn't like the cake at all. The next night we had more than half the cake left and we decided to have a little bit of each dessert I bought the day before (the napolien piece and pecan bar and cake) keep in mind nothing was left out, it was refrigerated right away. Well we both spit out the napolien it was spoiled and the cake tasted rancid also. The pecan bar was ok but c'mon for all that money it didn't last more than one night? Makes me think these items were not fresh. Any other bday cake I've had lasts a few days after cutting into it. I give it two stars because their donuts and some treats are good but after this last visit I won't be back even though I live close by and it was convenient. Although I want to support my local bakery I just can't anymore.

I've had everything here including cupcakes, brownies, croissants, macarons, cookies, madelines, etc. I've also come here to get a small cake for special occasions. It is also a very nice place to come with friends and enjoy a coffee and pastries. The elegant, pristine interior with marble accents and beautiful displays creates a welcoming Parisian vibe. Perfect for a quick treat or relaxed sit-down. I love the cookies here, they're soft and chewy unlike the Plainview FWS I always leave with a giant bag of 5 of every different flavor of cookie(chocolate chip, nutella, oreo, pistachio, etc) because the texture is so soft and smooth. My new obsession is the fruits of the forest cake. So delicious! Its a must try!!! It gets packed in here, but the line moves quickly! If you haven't tried FWS yet, what are you waiting for?

I did some shopping in a few other stores in the area and then left. More than two hours later I got a phone reply that they were out. Clearly. Must be a business landline. What I was told from one of the other merchants is that they take orders and do very nice specialty cakes. They also have their own agenda of when they are there and not. So for other bakery needs go to the bakery down the block at Riesterer"s. I did. I can not say how good Sunflower bakery foods are. If I should have a need for some particular specialty cake that another bakery can't make, I could always their number. Other than that I have nothing else to say,

I'm not sure, but it might be cash only or cash for under a certain amount. I looked through the shelves of cookies and saw some other varieties my family and I enjoy. I'll have to taste those later.

Upon going home our cinnamon rolls were stale as well and the 7 layer cake while looking great as does eveything here was highly dissapointing.
