The cozy nook I needed after a long stormy night! This lovely little cafe is within earshot of the Glimmerglass Festival Opera House, and a stone's throw away from Herkimer. My weekend plans got rained out, so I found myself soggy and hungry early in the morning. Before I even turned into the gravel lot, I could see the sunny yellow walls adorned with sunflowers and clippings from nearby events. The staff was very kind and accommodating, providing me with not only a hot, hearty breakfast burrito but also tips and activities to do nearby. The most memorable thing for me was the side salad, which had a delicious apple cider vinegar Dijon dressing that my waitress was more than happy to share the recipe for. At this cafe there is a wonderful assortment of cheeses from across the state, as well as a variety of IPAs for those interested. I'd like to note that the menu is very accommodating for those with dietary restrictions (vegan, gluten free, etc) and the kitchen is open to substitutions when possible :) 10/10 would come again, rain or shine read more

Very cute cafe with great food. Creative dishes and good service. Would recommend if you are in the area.

We actually stumbled upon this place as a last resort when 2 other places we went to only took cash and the other one was closed, but so glad we did! Upon entering it was very busy and we kind of had to sit at a table in the middle of everything. MULTIPLE people mentioned that it was going to be a long wait and they apologized profusely. We were on vacation, no rush for us! We ordered a couple mimosas and enjoyed our time. I can see why they warned us, I watched a couple patrons get agitated and complain about the wait - they were warned though!!! We had no issues - wait was maybe 45 minutes? Not terrible, we expected worse honestly. The food was delicious! I got the club and piled high with delicious and fresh ingredients. An ideal lunch! My friend and her husband loved the restaurant as well, she bought a mug and brought her parents back on her next visit, and they loved it as well. HIGHLY recommend coming here for breakfast or lunch! They also have a variety of fresh cheeses to buy to go - YUM read more

Came for breakfast and found a low key setting. Great food with a unique twist and friendly staff!!

We passed this cute little place on the way to the Fenimore Art Museum and seeing we were less than 3 miles away from our hotel, I said, "I'm going to see if they have vegan options!". I did a little research here on Yelp and checked their website and saw that there were possibilities, they opened early (7:00), and if nothing else, could be a good place for coffee. I'm happy to share that I had a delicious variation of their "Rise & Shine Grain Bowl". Highly recommend! In the picture is a vegan version of the rise and shine grain bowl: mixed room temp grains & avocado, warm greens & tomatoes, and a grapefruit treat. Plus a large coffee with almond milk. All take-away and enjoyed back on my hotel balcony. read more

I loved this place! They have gluten free toast/bread and delicious food. We went for breakfast one morning and I had a veggie omelet and gluten free toast with jam. The next day we went for lunch and I had the pulled pork on GF bread and Apple Butternut Squash soup; both were delicious! Our server, Susan, was hilarious and sweet. Cute little cafe! read more

It was a wonderful find that we had breakfast at the Sunflower Cafe 2 days in a row.The egg and cheese on a bagel and added avocado was the best. I ordered the same thing from a local bagel shop and it did not even come close to what I had at the Sunflower Cafe. The iced and hot teas were refreshing. My husband's breakfast was delicious. He said the eggs were cooked perfectly. I can't wait to make the 5 hour and 30 minute drive again! There is something special about Cooperstown and the surrounding communities. read more

Staff was amazing, friendly and knowledgeable. We had smoothies, muffins and runner's bagel sandwich on the go, all wonderful! I would love to go back and sit down to a meal here. If you are in the Cooperstown area, a wonderful out of the way place! read more

Darling cafe -- we had a great breakfast and even better service. Ate outside on their adorable patio. Definitely recommend!

Great food, wonderful service. Cute spot toward the very north end of the the lake. We sat in a lovely patio. Had eggs, bacon, toast, and oatmeal among my party, all were really good. read more

We had breakfast there on our way out of town. Pleasant outdoor tables. The food was good, if over-priced. We shared a burrito & a grain bowl & both were tasty if a bit skimpy. The place was packed & only one bathroom so we had a forced look at the cheese shop while waiting our turn for the bathroom. The prices were ridiculous so I assume the cheeses were all made of gold! read more

I was headed from Chittenango New York to Saratoga, and I decided to take the blue highways. Heading down route 20 is spectacular, and midway I decided to check into this little café. You owe it to yourself to stop here. Their specialty is a create-your-own grilled cheese, which was served with a side of soup. I chose goat cheese, basil, spinach, apple slices, And sun-dried tomato on whole wheat. You could argue that this was my creation, and it was. But I have never had a crisper or more delicious grilled cheese, it was done absolutely perfectly, the ingredients were incredibly fresh, and the service was impeccable. It was served with tomato bisque, which I could have eaten by the gallon. Rich, but not creamy. Absolutely perfect. I also asked for a side of asparagus, which they were happy to provide. The atmosphere is wonderful, sunny and charming. It's a friendly place, I will come back here again the next time I decide to mosey back to Mom's on route 20. read more

Staff at Bayside Inn, couple of miles down the road from here, recommended this place and it was great! Friendly welcome, nice outside and inside seating areas and prompt service. Friend had decaf coffee, regular pancakes with real maple syrup and I had their "morning garden breakfast" requesting the vegetables and eggs in omelet form, along with tasty toasted gluten-free toast, with a delicious side salad at breakfast time! Regular coffee for me and waitress was back to top it off as needed. read more

Just a little place but the only thing better than the food is the staff- both are remarkable. First , the staff is friendly, accommodating and provide great service. It was a Sunday morning and pretty busy when we were there but they made the wait more than tolerable with great coffee and complementary mini muffins. The sunflower décor throughout is charming too, with plenty to look at. Then the food came and well worth the wait- perfect pancakes and a wonderful piece of quiche- truly something for everyone. So if you're a local or just passing through it's well worth the stop. You won't be disappointed!! read more

We drove by while staying at the nearby KOA and thought it looked cute. We came for breakfast and were so impressed. No pictures because we immediately began eating. We had the eggs Benedict, yogurt with fruit, spinach and feta quiche, and grabbed a smoothie to go. The food was outstanding, and we loved that they source from local farms. The cafe itself was super cute too. The service was wonderful and all employees were friendly, welcoming, and attentive. read more

Super cute and well priced place to go for the area! Build your own grilled cheese is delicious and they're dog friendly, a huge plus!! Would give 10 stars if I could for a simple lunch in the Cooperstown area Came back a second day again with our dogs and they were kind enough to bring the dogs a plate of bacon! read more

Delicious! Best cup of coffee I had the whole trip. Very friendly service. Highly recommend.

Everything is up to snuff, creative cooking, wonderful atmosphere. And there are friendly squirrels to observe outside

Always greeted with a smile. Lovely outdoor seating as well as inside. Had the tomato soup and grilled cheese combo.(smoked Gouda and ham).The soup was tasty and the grilled cheese was perfection, oozing out the sides. A bonus - you can buy cheese to bring home! read more

What a lovely, charming little cafe! The food was delish. The waiter and waitress were absolutely charming! They had a display cooler filled with artisanal cheeses! We bought some Shropshire Blue and Palatine Extra Sharp Cheddar....Yum! What a find! Highly recommend! read more

What a serendipitous moment when we stumbled upon the Sunflower Cafe in Springfield New York. We had a delicious breakfast with very pleasant service on a very beautiful morning on a patio in June. The prices we're great & the bacon was thick-cut deliciousness! Unfortunately they close after Columbus day and then reopen in spring. This is NOT a fast food restaurant so plan accordingly if you are in a hurry. Highly recommended! read more

I ordered a large take out order for a group of 13 & everyone loved it. You could taste how freshly prepared the food was. The grain bowl was the most popular amongst my party. I had the Sunflower Cafe Salad and I'm still salivating thinking about the freshness of the goat cheese. All the dishes were so beautifully plated even in their to go containers. Cheryl and her staff were incredibly helpful and went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect for my large party. When I arrived for the pick up everything was prepared in an easy portable box and I was even helped to my car. Honestly, there is nothing like this fresh cafe in the area & Cheryl and her staff make sure to go the extra mile to pay attention to detail and take care of their costumers. I hope to make it back soon! read more

This place was recommended by our airbnb host and it did not disappoint. Breakfast appears to end at 10:45 so we had lunch. The build your own grilled cheese with tomato bisque was delicious! The local cheddar is definitely worth the upgrade from regular cheddar. The grain bowl was amazing! Perfect for a light but filling lunch. The special dessert for the day was strawberry shortcake and it was so good. The whipped cream tasted like ice cream and the strawberries were very fresh. The staff were super nice and attentive. It's a great atmosphere. If you sit outside there are a bunch of bird feeders with frequent cute visitors. They also use metal straws which is nice! I would definitely come back if I'm in the area again. read more

We stopped here for lunch as we were traveling on Route 20 and the Cafe is located about 5 minutes down Route 80. (South.) The restaurant is bright and cheery and has plentiful and comfortable outside (covered) and indoor seating. We were promptly seated and presented with a lunch menu with a nice array of options. We started with unsweetened iced tea from that was served with ice that had bits of lemon frozen inside (a very nice touch!). My spouse ordered the Buggy Bagel Sandwich and I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Salad. While we were reviewing the menu, we commented about the tomato bisque. The chef/owner, Cheryl, overheard our discussion and we were brought a complimentary taste. Fresh tomato flavor was prominent with a nice mix or herbs. This is a must have when you visit! The Buggy Bagel (named after the owner's daughter) was a fresh bagel with fresh mozzarella, marinated sun dried tomatoes, and greens and was served with kettle potato chips. Excellent! My salad was nicely dressed with a mildly spicy creamy dressing on bed of romaine with chunks of blue cheese and a nice portion of moist, tender chicken breast. Parmesan shavings added another nice complimentary flavor. Service was very quick and attentive. We travel this route frequently and this will be a stop for a quick bite or take out in the future! read more

My colleagues and I went here for lunch, not knowing what to expect. Upon walking in the door, you are greeted with a beautiful, light spirited atmosphere. The service was incredibly friendly, and fast considering the fact that the restaurant just opened. I ordered the Hyde Bay Club Sandwich and a homemade tomato bisque. The sandwich contained liberal amounts of deli meat and a delicious local bacon variety. The bisque was seasoned well, and was served in a large bowl. Prices were great--especially compared to similar venues in Cooperstown. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone willing to give it a try. read more

Great place! Excellent service. Good food fun decor. Staff is very friendly. Love the outside dining.

Good fresh food, friendly staff away from the hustle of Main Street... worth the trip :)
