    The note on my food
    Elina A.

    After tipping over 20% ($5) to go 2 blocks, I had a note attached to my work order saying TIP A FEW EXTRA DOLLARS !! How disgusting and unprofessional is this!!! I will never order again !!! PAY YOUR DRIVER'S!! After reading it, I already didn't care about the soggy watery salad I received. No one and I mean NO ONE is tipping more then $5 for a $19 salad that I had to pay another $10 for fees etc...

    102A. Truffle Fries

    Sunflower Cafe has been offering fresh, healthy, kosher dishes to the community for over 20 years. They serve mostly Middle Eastern inspired cuisine and none of the dishes offered contain any meat products, it's mostly garden fresh local produce, dairy products, pasta and wild caught fish. I've been there on a few different occasions and always liked the nice friendly staff, warm inviting atmosphere and of course delicious & nutritious food. Today we opted for a light lunch by ordering extremely popular Tomato Soup with melted cheese and it was a great pick for a very chilly early March afternoon-it tasted incredibly fresh like it was just cooked, with a delectable combination of different flavors, a bit savory, slightly sweet, a little tangy, perfectly seasoned and it had a huge dollop of yummy melted cheese inside which produced a TikTok worthy cheese pull that was definitely an added bonus for me. We also ordered a Chef's salad- Garden vegetables, artichoke, hard-boiled eggs, sweet corn, olives topped with feta cheese, mozzarella and cheddar. We added a side of tuna fish and avocado to it and it turned out to be a very largely sized, probably big enough for 3 people, full of fresh crispy veggies, savory olives, sweet corn, sliced hard boiled eggs, all of which was amazingly well complimented by the scrumptious house-made thousand islands dressing and topped with a mix of 3 different cheeses. I am not a big fan of salads but this one I enjoyed tremendously and would certainly order again. Lastly we ordered a side dish of truffle fries and once again were impressed by its incredible taste,abundance of different seasonings which included graded Parmagiano-Reggiano, garlic, parsley and of course very aromatic truffle oil. Fries were so warm, crispy and finger licking good, we couldn't stop eating it, unquestionably made my list of 10 Best Truffles Fries in the city. Prices are a bit on a higher side, but it's understandable considering its a certified kosher restaurant, premium quality of ingredients and huge portion sizes. All in all-very satisfying lunching experience, great place, vast menu, awesome food and service. Definitely recommend to visit or order online delivery asap.

    greek salad - feta cheese, olives, its a huge portion

    The food here is delicious, super fresh, and the portions are generous. The entire cafe is decorated with sunflower themed things, and it looks beautiful. A nice spot to take pics in when not crowded. Everything was delicious, the workers were helpful and kind, and we got our food quickly after ordering it. Bathroom is spacious and clean. Overall a place with a cute vibe, delicious food, and good prices.

    Caesar salad

    When a restaurant's menu leaves you unsure of what to order because you want to order everything, you know they do things right. While it's primarily a brunch place, they do have a full menu and are open as late as 10:30pm on Sundays for dinner. The highlight here, at least for me, are the sandwiches. They come on toasty sesame bread and are loaded with melty cheese, guac, veggies, egg, pesto, or any combination you want. The guac is great, so be sure to get it, either as an appetizer, or as part of the guac salad, or the guac sandwich. Pasta is a good one too, and so is the fish. Lemonanas are this fresh slushy minty lime drink that cannot be replicated. They've got stuffed baked potatoes, soups, and a pretty large wait staff (maybe even too many people for 6pm on a Sunday). This place gives off good vibes, despite the fact that prices seem to have gone up in recent years. You also need to ask for water and bread for the table. It's primarily a Jewish and Israeli crowd, and an Israeli wait staff. Ask for the charif (spicy sauce) and all of the dressings and sauces, they know what they are doing.

    6. Eggs Paris

    I'm not kosher, but my boyfriend's mom is and we have gone here several times. This is one of my favorite kosher spots and it's one with some of the fairest prices, compared to others. If you're looking for a recommendation of something to get, the baked ziti is personally my favorite. It's super cheesy!! I have also gotten eggs Paris, but I thought my scrambled eggs were a bit over cooked. The cool thing about the breakfast platters is that they come with salad (I got Caesar), freshly squeezed orange juice, and coffee or tea. The portions are satisfying and the restaurant is really nice inside. There's pretty paintings on the walls and even a huge sunflower mural! Definitely a good spot.

    Great food fast service deliver. I have eaten from here often but sat here for the first time. Love the Juices soups and sandwiches. The servers are cordial and helpful. Menus easy to navigate on an iPad. A jem of a place.

    If you are in the neighborhood I would say, these smash burger are a good option for you…read more Ambiance: Came here in the afternoon, and the vibe was relaxed with nice music in the background and a lot of seatings. Food: Smash burger are great, they are not the best but I would rank it as top 5 in the city. I was pretty surprised how they charge for cheese (the place is mostly Kosher, and the Cheese of I remember is vegan) which contradict the concept of smash burgers. The fries were overly cooked if not almost burned, so I couldnt eat half of the basket. Service: ordering regular fries and getting trufle fries just to charge me extra is not a nice move. But having those popcorn and water cup made up for it little bit. If I knew I would be charged that much (burger + fries) I would have chosen from the lunch special menu

    Wanted to like this place more but it missed the mark. This is really a 3.5 star review…read more I went on a weekday around 12:30 and it was completely empty. I was told to take a menu from the counter and that I could have a seat. Tried to order a mint lemonade but they didn't have any mint. OK so I ordered a strawberry basil iced tea, which was refreshing, but didn't really have much flavor in my opinion. When I looked at the menu, they had a lot of different burger options but I settled for a Smashburger that was shown on a summer menu. However, I then watched the waiter offer two groups who came after me a lunch special menu that was not offered or mentioned to me. Had I known there were lunch specials, I would've checked them out to see if I wanted to order. So I was a little upset that these were offered to everyone except me. In terms of the actual burger, I found the patties to be way too thin, even for a smash burger. To me it left the burger, feeling kind of skimp and not fulfilling at all. I also ordered fries which were honestly the star of the show. Lastly, I didn't feel like the service was up to par. There was a large table in front of a door and the waiter kept yelling to people to not sit at the table because he needed to access the door. My question is, why place a table in a spot that you know you need to be able to go in and out of? And then on top of that when he gave me the bill, it said one price, however, after I paid and a receipt was brought to me to sign it, had a different price. What I think happened is he did not add the drink the first time and I didn't notice, but I feel like when this happened you should just say to the customer that you forgot to add something and here's a new receipt. There was also an automatic 15% gratuity, which I wasn't fond of. I spent $40 for a lunch that I barely liked. Way too overpriced and not worth the visit imo.

Washed everything down with a Dr. Brown's root beer like it was 1957. No fake trendy nonsense. No deconstructed sandwiches. Just old-school deli greatness that punches you directly in the soul.

Their signature burger is ultra juicy bf flavorful, even if you must get it well done ;), the Duck pastrami was really tender and had all the flavors of what a traditional pastrami would have. Their charcuterie board was phenomenal and chef said he'd be updating it from time to time with new additions as well. And I'm physical obsessed with their pickled veggies jar!! Loved their olive oil cake served with an in season persimmon and kumquat coulis, almost like a short cake and the sweet and tart of the fruit coulis complimented really well. So get your GNO, BNO, birthday, date night, family celebration going here! It's a fun night out with great food, beautiful ambiance and upgrade energy! Oh and they will hold your table 20 min past your reservation time, DO NOT BE LATER THAN THAT because there is a ton of walk ins and they will give your table up to one of the many hungry patrons waiting. Which I do very much appreciate that they stick to that rule.
