    Breakfast Croissant
    D W.

    Cute place but nothing to rave about. The service was average (very European type of vibe), but the food and coffee...applause. My coffee was perfection and my sandwich looked like it came from a commercial and was prepared by a food artist. It was delicious and the ingredients were fresh, crisp and absolutely top notch. HIGHLY recommended.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place has a very unique and welcoming atmosphere![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will definitely be coming back to try their lunch foods! My boyfriend got an iced white chocolate mocha and it was absolutely delicious![[HIGHLIGHT]]Super cute :)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    The sunflower is amazing! I had the avocado toast. I was extremely impressed. The portion was a good size. I was able to slit it with my husband. It was fresh and the bread was sour dough. The flavors were amazing. We had coffee and I can say it was truly delicious coffee. I had cappuccino and my husband had Americano. We both love good coffee and the sunflower delivered very good coffee. The service was very good. We didn't have to wait long. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was so inviting the soft music was so relaxing it made me want to linger and not hurry.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was tastefully decorated and relaxing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I am looking forward to going back. Thank you sunflower Bakery and cafe for making our experience special.

    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!

    Chicken Pesto Sandwich
    Leah M.

    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!

    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.

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

    If I could rate it 10 stars I would! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is warm and cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fresh food, good atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Good for breakfast and lunch. Very nice stuff [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were passing by from California. It was nice family stop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    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.

    We moved to Star from out of state two years ago. We had read about Uncle Guiseppe's and wanted to…read moretry it, but hadn't gotten around to it yet. Today, our friend brought us to Garden City to walk along the river, and then over to Uncle Guiseppe's for lunch. It is a small, seemingly authentic New York deli that serves a great number of different sandwiches, along with specialty drinks, like sodas, sparkling water, and lemonade. They also well things like pastries and, of interest to us, jarred roasted tomatoes. My wife had the #9 Monte Cristo, and I had the #3 Bonanza. Delicious. I also had a Manhattan Special Black Cherry soda, also super yummy. My mistake, not realizing what I was doing, was to order "whole" vs "half" sandwiches. The whole are footlong. I ate the entire sandwich, holy moly! My wife brought half home. Next time I would probably order a half. The owner, who I will call Guiseppe, had the heavy East Coast accent, and checked on all of his customers, making sure they were happy and satisfied. This place is a little gem. We're already talking about our next visit to Garden City to walk and have lunch at Uncle Guiseppe's!

    To say I was disappointed would be an understatement of the year…read more I went in last night to scope the bakery offerings. I saw empty trays of butter croissants, palmiers, and chocolate croissants. The prices compared to what is being offered in Boise was less expensive so it seemed like Paris Banh Mi sold out of these items. I gathered my daughter and my French mom the next morning to get to Paris Banh Mi at their opening to only find that those empty trays from the night before were still empty. I walked up to the young man at the cashier and asked where were all the croissants, palmiers, and chocolate croissants. He tells me, matter of factly, that what they have is out on display. To be clear, what was out on display was two or three offerings of bakery goods that didn't look fresh or even appetizing. If you're going to be a French bakery and have trays with the words of Croissants, Palmiers, and others then stock it OR Remove them as it is false advertising. Matter of fact, take out the Eiffel Tower by the front door while you're at it. There's NOTHING FRENCH or PARIS related here. I will never come back. It was embarrassing experience.

Their broth accommodates those that has a mild spicy level. Beef is tender and the pho is amazing as well. I still think they could still switch the plastic bowls and spoons to reusable and sustainable bowls is all. We did get their spring rolls but it was 2.5/5 for us. Noticed they used iceberg lettuce and could use more traditional herbs such as mint and a different type of lettuce. Felt like there was more iceberg lettuce than the actual protein and noodles. The peanut sauce was a bit sweet and had a more jelly consistency. Drinks and pastry was delicious! Danish was still warm and drink was much needed for a sweet taste. Fast service and cute setting

    We didn't do our Sunday ritual today and go to Moon's downtown. My husband and I were out running…read moreerrands in Meridian so we decided to keep breakfast easy this morning and head to Sarah's bagel shop. I have been to the downtown location and had such a good experience there. The staff there was so friendly! Unfortunately, today's visit at it's sister location was not the same. Walking in, the joint is really bright and clean. I appreciate the huge menu boards of all their items. Everything looked so good at first glance in the display case. We hung out for a second going over everything when the employees started coming out. We weren't really greeted. No one really said hi. Finally a gentleman stood there to take our order. I got my husband's order taken care of. I still needed a minute and finally decided on my sandwich. And this is when things really started to go down hill. We stood at the counter waiting to pay. Waiting, waiting, standing there like a couple idiots. The young gal behind the counter let some other customer cut us off and pay for some random drinks. And then we just stood there. I asked the gal if she was going to ring us up and she said no. "Go sit down and you pay when you get your food". Well, that would have been nice to know if someone would have told us that in the first place. We finally paid for our order, got our food and a table. For brunch I grabbed a tasty turkey sammy on a croissant. My husband got a egg, ham and cheese on a croissant. We also snagged a couple smoothies. We got lemon mango and peach. Our sandwiches were nicely made. My sandwich had fresh veggies in it, a good amount of turkey and the herb cream cheese was savory. My husband devoured his breakfast sammy. The croissant was buttery and soft. It honestly was a great sandwich. If you're planning on selling boba in your teas, coffees and smoothies, please make sure the boba pearls are edible. It was amazing how many uncooked boba pearls were on the bottom of my smoothie. Hard, inedible pearls. How embarrassing. I didn't even order them in my smoothie but I got them. I paid for inedible boba pearls so make sure you specify if you want them or not. As gross as they were, I would recommend a hard no on the boba pearls. The smoothies itself were good. The lemon mango was refreshing even though it was thick and hearty. The peach smoothie was really tasty as well. They are gracious with their sizes. I got medium and barely drank half. I will say their smoothies are pretty legit. As good as the sammys were, I just can't get over the rude staff and my hard boba pearls. For me, I rate on the whole experience and I just can't go higher than a 2. Communication with your customers is so important and clearly this joint lacks it. So basic but not given here. I'll stick to the downtown location for my future Sarah's bagel visits from now on. I want to enjoy my food that's prepared by a nice staff.

    To be honest I wasn't expecting much just because Idaho isn't really known for cheesesteaks but…read morewhen I took my first bite I was impressed by the flavor. I passed by this location and the outside of the restaurant grabbed my attention so as I decided to give it a try. I got the regular cheesesteak, so just meat with onions and cheese. From the appearance of the sandwich I thought it would be blend but when I bit into it, I was surprised by how good it was! My only cons are that the bun needs some Philly upgrade to it and the portion of meat needs to increase and I think it would be really good! Staff were friendly, and helpful. The ambiance with chill. Would definitely again in the future!

After eating here, we should have came here instead of having the pizza. It was later in the afternoon when we came in so it was pretty chill. I I did creep out the menu online so I had a general idea of what I wanted. My husband is pretty predictable so he automatically knew what he wanted. So for lunch I got the 7" pepper steak and my husband got the 7" steak classic with no onions. We both got extra meat instead on getting a bigger sandwich. Yo, this sandwich was so good! My meat was cooked perfectly and not dry! It had a ton of jalapenos and banana peppers. It was cheesy and savory. The bread was soft and not dense. Every bite of it was so good! Not gonna lie, the jalapenos were creeping up on me towards the end. They were getting spicy! I might do half the jalapenos next time. The banana peppers added a nice acid to the sandwich. I polished that baby off and was so full! Well, as full as I was, this joint does offer ice cream. Of course we had to grab some! So, my husband and I grabbed a single scoop of cookies and cream on a sugar cone. It was a decent sized scoop. The gal that scooped it did have a hard time scooping it, it was kinda hollow in the middle. But, it was honestly enough ice cream without officially putting me into food coma. The gals that helped up were really nice! The Phillies here are killer good! The venue is open and spacious. Huge tvs on the wall would make this joint fun during football season! My husband and I enjoyed our sandwiches and look forward to coming back for more!
