I stopped by this morning to buy Hamantaschen cookies, which are the traditional cookie eaten on the Jewish Purim holiday. Apparently Purim Hamantaschen is a big business for Sunflower. They take advance orders in addition to selling over the counter. I was pleased to see that they opened this storefront location at 8 am today due to the holiday demand. A special aspect of Sunflower is that they employ and train disabled people. So buying a cookie is not only a transaction and a tasty treat; it's an educational and vocational experience. This might mean you wait a bit longer and must exercise patience. But clearly worth it. I've had Sunflower's challah bread and Hamantaschen before. These Hamantaschen were definitely good. I won't say they are the best I've ever tasted, but they were darn good! They have a bunch of baked items, so it's fun to return and try the many offerings. I will definitely return! read more

Amazing bakery. Love how they employ and train those with disabilities. They are kosher as well.

Excellent desserts if you have a dairy allergy or really any major food allergy. Amazing customer service too.

The Sunflower Bakery is a breath of fresh air that we all should experience! The shop is updated quaint, bright and warm. The young people that greeted my wife and I were warm and engaging and passionate about the delicious baked goods! We had the Challah bread, oatmeal raisin cookies, brownies, lemon drop muffin and awesome chocolate drizzled cookies. Nothing disappointing! All scrumptious guilty pleasures! Mr. Ben, Miss Jessica, Chef Cheryl and the attending Super were absolutely fabulous with their service and fabulous personalities. We'll be back! read more

Delicious gluten-free chocolate tart that melts in your mouth. Wonderful! I can't wait to try the other bakery items!

Small but wonderful cafe/bakery. Love the millionaire bars that are gluten free. The staff is warm and welcoming. This is a great place for Kosher bakery goods and breads. read more

Sunflower Bakery work with individuals with learning disabilities and helps them get accredited in pastry arts, and find careers. Their mission is so needed in this world, and as a bonus, they make amazing desserts! They have a vegan tab on their website so it is very clear what desserts have no dairy and eggs. My two favorite treats are their unicorn cookies and apricot crumb bars. Both do not last more than a few days at my home. Thanks for all you do Sunflower Bakery and keep it up! read more

While I don't celebrate Purim, when these delicious treats are generally devoured, I do support this bakery that employs young adults with learning differences. Giving these individuals the training they need for a career in food services is paramount. I ordered a dozen chocolate filled hamantaschen. During this particular holiday season you can pick them up from the bakery, or pick them up from various drop off locations. I was sold when I discovered one of the drop offs was a mile from my home. These cookies are delicious. They're very buttery, and they were larger than I expected. I paid $14 for a dozen. They are cheaper, albeit smaller than Parkway Deli's version, but quite a good deal. They are kosher, and they do make a GF version that my neighbor buys for her daughter. When spring eventually springs, I plan to make a visit to their storefront location. It's a win-win indulgence in my book. read more

Thankyou so much to Sunflower Bakery for a fabulous Rosh Hashana dinner. The brisket was so tender you didn't need a knife to cut it. Delicious apricot chicken, sweet potatoes and zucchini. Everything was cooked to perfection including the kale and apple salad. We also got challah which, as usual, was fresh and delicious; apple cake and honey cake and brownies. All was very fresh and delicious. Highly recommend! Also, everything was delivered timely with clear reheating instructions. read more

This is one of our go to bakeries for cupcakes and sweet treats. They make the perfect sized cupcakes that are easy to eat and share. It is hard to stop at just one, so we always buy a few extra. We generally get these flavors: Vanilla, Chocolate, and Red Velvet. We are also fans of the Lemon Bars and Brownies as well The staff is very friendly and always ready to help and give suggestions to make up our mind! read more

I work as a football coach and I say score a touchdown by catering your next event with sunflower bakery. Yummy! Thanks Sunflower bakery! Marc L. read more

1- if you don't get the apricot crumb bars, you are missing out- they are our fav! 2- husband retired and wanted chocolate buttercream. Ordered the cake to go with it... yummy! Can hardly wait for the next visit! read more

I guess I'm in the minority here because I didn't enjoy the baked goods at Sunflower Bakery at all. The cupcakes had too much frosting for my liking and I found it to be rather waxy. Out of the cupcakes I tried, the vanilla with chocolate frosting was the best, but still jusy okay. The cookies were surprisingly not a hit at all in my household. They were super tiny and on the dry side. I do like the story behind Sunflower Bakery and applaud them for it. I'm hoping it was an off day in the shop, so will try them again in the future. read more

Came for the cause, stayed for the flavor! I tried a chocolate cake pop, and oh my goodness--the cosmic brownies from my childhood are here! I would eat one hundred of these if I could, they're so good! read more

I had a last minute custom request for a corporate event. Sunflower Bakery responded to my Facebook message and dove right into my inquiry. Kimberly was excellent to work with, and they were extremely accommodating. They turned around 100+ DELICIOUS cupcakes for my event. Seriously, everyone was raving about how good the cupcakes were. Cannot thank them enough for their timely turnaround, professionalism, and quality of cakes & service. Their mission is also incredible, and I highly encourage everyone to stop in and order from Sunflower! read more

I can't say enough good things about this bakery. Everything they make is delicious. The carrot cake is probably one of the best I've ever had. How many times can someone say they've had items from a bakery that taste homemade? Well, this is it. I love that they give employment & training opportunities for those with different abilities! read more

This is over of those hidden casual bakeries that you'll never regret visiting. Sunflower doesn't have a huge selection of options but everything that they have is amazing. Their sugar cookies and oatmeal cookies are some of the best I've ever had. BONUS: they're kosher for catering! read more

I stopped into Sunflower Bakery this afternoon and I'm glad I did! First of all if you don't know their story and background do yourself a favor and read up- it's such a cool place. *plus, did you know they are Kosher?!* I was greeted the minute I walked through the door. You have to be buzzed into the actual building but no biggy. Michael helped me pick out some cookies and a lemon bar. The pricing was on point (bars are $2 and cookies are $1.75) , I wish I would've bought more but maybe next time. Overall everything I got tasted great. My snickerdoodle cookie was straight up the best one I've had in a long time! The lemon bar was sticky, sweet, tangy and all kinds of yummy. I haven't broken into the remaining chocolate chip cookie but it looks and smells delicious. I'll definitely be back soon and highly recommend checking this bakery out. It's not huge, but what they do sell is worth the trip. read more

I love everything about Sunflower, especially the people that work there. I'm always greeted with a smile.Their Challahs are delicious as well as all their sweets. I often go in and have a latte or dirty chai latte. Perfectly brewed. I went to their graduation ceremony a few weeks ago. Absolutely spectacular. The place is spotless. I don't live near the two locations, but it is definitely worth the trip. read more

The best. Delicious bakery and they hire individuals with disabilities. Everyone is super nice and just an overall pleasant experience.

I haven't been back in a while, but I love this place. I wish it were closer to my home They have great challah and their hamantaschen were delicious. It's a little out-of-the-way but I hope to get back soon. I love what they are doing to employ people with learning differences. A great mission, achieved deliciously! read more

I needed a cake for my mother's birthday and she was in the mood for a cake with almond flavor in it. Luckily, i found Sunflower bakery and their almond pound cake. I placed an order two days in advance but had to change pick up times and they were very accommodating. The pound cake itself was delicious. My only critique is that the berry buttercream was a little sweeter than expected, but I'm sure that can be tweaked if requested. The macaroons were as cute as a button and memorable. read more

Sunflower Bakery is a non-profit that offers job training to students to learn about baking, sales etc. Please read more about their mission on their website!

They also offer challah, muffins, cakes, brownies, cookies and much more. They have many products that are nut free and or gluten free. You can pickup a cake/pie last minute or order in advance.

Excellent gluten free cupcakes and bundt cake (not gluten free) I will definitely use them again.

The folks at Sunflower couldn't be more accommodating. I made a mistake when I ordered cupcakes for my grandson's birthday, and they fixed my mistake, made the cupcakes just as I'd wanted and never chastised me for making the mistake in the first place. Great customer service, great products, great mission. read more

I found this business searching local bakeries and I wanted to support their idea. I ordered the brownie pops for a neighbor party and now I have two reasons to order from them. The brownie pops were rich and delicious and went fast. Look forward to trying more of their items. read more

I bought their gluten free almond cake and it was really good and moist and tasted different from other almond cakes I have tried. I am going back there for sure. My next order for baked goods for any event is coming from there. I learned that Sunflower Bakery prepares individuals with learning disability for the job market. You rarely find these kinds of initiatives run successfully. Kudos to your work and keep up the quality of your products. read more

We ordered a pecan pie, pumpkin pie, and thumbprints for our Thanksgiving this year. All were absolutely fantastic!!!

If you haven't tasted the pastries from this fantastic bakery you don't know what you are missing. Everything is delicious! And they have the best GF (gluten free) products I've ever tasted--brownies, cookies, cakes. Yum Yum! (AND when you buy their scrumptious goodies you are supporting employment and career training for individuals with disabilities. Can't beat that!!) read more

We needed to find a kosher chocolate chocolate cake for our daughter's birthday. So we got a birthday cake from them and it was delicious and reasonably priced. We needed to pick up early, and they were able to accommodate us very easily. Pick up was very pleasant, as the woman who helped me was extremely friendly and nice. All the kids at our daughter's birthday party loved the cake, as did we. The icing was really good, unlike typical grocery store cakes it actually tasted like chocolate. Really delicious! read more

This is the best bakery EVER! Awesome mission with the most delicious baked goods. Worth the straight to the hips trip :-)
