    Chicken croissant sandwich

    Delicious sandwiches and cakes. We will go back soon to try their pierogies. Great service. They have nice tables inside and outside.

    Breakfast croissant

    Hubby and I tried out this place and we really liked it! Tried the chicken and pork pelmeni, breakfast croissant, blueberry muffin, kiev cake, and mocha. Food and coffee were pretty good, kiev cake is a little sweeter than I'd like. We'll come back to try other things!

    Nutella strawberry banana crepe

    First of all, the name brought me in the door! I love sunflowers! I thought I would grab a pastry and leave, but their simple menu begged me to stay! My daughters and I ordered a Nutella, strawberry, banana crepe to share. We weren't actually very hungry, it was late afternoon before dinner. We devoured it. It was absolutely delicious. The coffee/tea selection was great. Because we stayed, the drinks were served in mugs, which felt very classy. I will definitely be returning to this quaint little cafe.

    Chicken Pesto Sandwich

    Such an adorable little spot tucked away near the Winco and DMV in Meridian. Even better, super clean and friendly service from the counter to the delivering of food. One gal from the Ukraine, the gal serving our food is from Russia and she joked the other gal from Poland and it's "very international" here. Then the food! The whole thing about eating with your eyes first, applies here! Our order arrived quickly on quaint wooden plates and the food looked fresh and tasted accordingly with a good amount of pesto and melted cheese on the Chicken Pesto sandwich. My lunch mate loved the Chicken Croissant Sandwich with just the right amount of garlic aoli and avocado... and the croissant was very flaky. Just wanting to support such a good place, we tried the Napoleon that truly melted in our mouths. Excited to try the Borsch, Pelmeni and Pierogies! Will be back!

    If I could rate it 10 stars I would! Ambiance is warm and cute. Staff is friendly and helpful and you can tell they take great pride in their work of serving you. It's my go-to place which is halfway between Boise and Nampa where I can meet up with friends. I go at least once a week. Oh and did I mention the coffee, food and pastries are delicious?

    Salmon toast

    Super cute bakery. We ordered a Breve, strawberry banana smoothie, mixed berry crepe and chicken pesto sandwich. So Yummy. Food is made to order so don't go if you are in a rush. Cafe has great vibes and has indoor and outdoor seating. Highly recommend!

    OH. MY. GOODNESS. I'm still dreaming about the food at Sunflower Bakery and Cafe! Every single bite was heavenly -- rich, fresh, bursting with flavor. You know that moment when you take a bite and your eyes just close from pure joy? That was us. Over and over again. Everything was so beautifully presented, we were in awe before we even started eating -- and then it just kept getting better. The place is sparkling clean and filled with cozy charm. But what makes it unforgettable is the people. The staff were unbelievably kind, warm, and truly attentive. You feel seen, welcomed, and cared for. We brought flowers for our friend's birthday -- didn't say a word to anyone -- and they noticed, brought a vase without us asking, and later surprised us with a sweet dessert and a heartfelt "Happy Birthday" sung by the servers. We were floored. It felt like a warm hug for the whole table. This place isn't just a cafe -- it's a celebration of joy, flavor, and kindness. Can't wait to come back. Again. And again. And again.

    We visited on a brisk fall Saturday morning.  This little place is tucked into the back of a strip mall. Since it was early and a bit cooler, it was cool in the restaurant; especially with the frequent opening of the door. This is a counter service restaurant with the very kind and helpful staff bringing your food and drink. I ordered the salmon toast, an espresso and almond croissant. There is a serious lack of lox & bagels in the TV, and this salmon toast did not disappoint.  The bread was not toasted but was homemade and hearty.  The cream cheese spread was lighter than most which I loved.  The smoked salmon was delicious but not overly salty. I loved the addition of arugula and pickled onions along with briny capers and fresh tomatoes to complete this dish. The presentation was beautiful, and a hard-boiled egg was served alongside.  My espresso was perfectly balanced.  All the pastries looked delicious, and there was a steady stream of customers taking out pastries.  I tried the almond croissant, which was plenty flaky with a delicious natural tasting almond filling. The croissant itself was crunchy and light and didn't taste greasy.  The staff were wonderful and checked on us and asked how we liked it.  I thought the pricing was more than fair. You can tell all food is made with love and is their passion.  We will be back to try more things.  I would love to buy a loaf of bread and a bag of their homemade pelmeni (russian dumplings). Wonderful addition for breakfast or light lunch.

    Today was my first visit to Sunflower Bakery & Cafe. I say "my first", because I promise you there will be more visits! In summary, there is nothing about this new place that I do not like! This little bakery/breakfast/lunch spot has a very nice atmosphere, and the service was exceedingly nice. And let me tell you, the food that we were blessed with today was off-the-charts delicious. I ordered the Chicken Bacon Toast, and my wife ordered the Chicken Pesto Sandwich. We both let each other try the other's lunch item, and I think the Chicken Pesto beat the Chicken Bacon by a tiny bit, but both of these items were incredible. It is so wonderful to eat something as apparently simple as a deli sandwich, and experience the wonderful joy that emerges from the effort of an artistic cook or chef. That is just what happened to us today! All of the ingredients were fresh and flavorful, and the bread for both sandwiches was amazing! For dessert, I had the last strawberry pastry of the day, lightly heated, and it was wonderful as well. If you are in Meridian, or anyplace else within the Treasure Valley, I would highly recommend Sunflower for lunch! Next time I come I think I'll try something from their breakfast selections!

She also takes custom orders of just about anything British, including savory items. To find and/or contact Katie, join her private Facebook page, or you can call her. I have included a photo that is a screenshot of her Facebook page. I visited Katie at the Meridian farmers market, which she frequents. KM and I bought a variety of items. Some of our favorites were the Cherry Bakewell Tarts, Jam & Coconut Sponge cake, Scones, and Shortbread. We also enjoyed getting to try the "Royal Wedding" Elderflower Sponge cake. If you recall, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had a Lemon-Elderflower cake with raspberry filling for their wedding cake. I can't say enough good things about this unique business.

I have bought a handful of donuts, bagels and donuts from this joint and don't recall them being that size. Asked the gal who helped me if it was normal for them to be so small. She replied with "it depends on the day". So, basically some days you're getting your money's worth and some days you're getting screwed. Pretty sad. Desperate of how small they were, my husband enjoyed the two fritters I got him. I had to get two since they were so tiny. Other local joints are selling fritters the size of their two, even bigger. Granted it's double in cost but I'm more than happy to pay that much for a good size fritter. I know I'm getting a lot of bang for my buck. With so many local bakeries and food trucks that are selling donuts, the last thing you want to do is shrink your products on your locals who have been supporting your local business.

Unfortunately, the flavors didn't live up to the presentation for me. I tried the carrot cake cupcake and was expecting a classic cream cheese frosting, but what I got tasted more like a very sweet white frosting. If there was cream cheese in it, I couldn't really tell. The cake itself also had a slightly soapy/perfumey flavor, almost like the batter picked up fragrance from a recently cleaned counter. I'm very sensitive to that taste and it really threw me off. I also tried the Boston Cream Pie cupcake. There was barely any Bavarian cream filling inside, which was disappointing since that's the main reason to order that flavor. The cupcake was also very crumbly, making it difficult to hold and eat. Overall, the shop is cute and the display is beautiful, but the flavors I tried didn't quite deliver. I might give it another try someday in case I just picked the wrong flavors.
