If your looking for authentic cafe de olla this is the place. I always drive by and see the cafe but never had a chance to stop by, boy why a mistake that was this place is a hidden gem if so delicious. The menudo had such good flavor . My son had the horchata and an automatically made a yummy sound along with his chilaquiles. Definitely coming back and bringing the family. Well done and complements to the chef ‍ "Delicious " Service was fast and friendly. read more

Love their menudo. Their hours are unreliable. I bank on Sundays in the morning because Mexican clients have menudo on Sundays and usually in the mornings. read more

I'm very disappointed to be writing this because the food/champurrado at Sunflower Cafe in Lancaster is good. However, what my family experienced goes beyond "bad service." It reflects behavior that feels discriminatory and deeply concerning, especially in the times we are living in. My mother recently dined there with a friend who suffered a stroke and has difficulty speaking. Instead of patience or basic compassion, they were met with sarcasm, visible irritation, and dishes being set down harshly. No one recovering from a medical event should be made to feel like a burden for communicating differently. The situation escalated when the waitress began questioning them about whether they had gone to church because they had crosses on their foreheads. It was Ash Wednesday. My mother shared that the tone noticeably shifted after they confirmed they had gone to church. In today's climate, where division and judgment are already heightened, no customer should feel scrutinized or treated differently because of their faith. My mom left feeling embarrassed after having spoken highly of this cafe and bringing her friend there expecting a positive experience. My sister called the restaurant afterward to address what happened. Instead of accountability or concern, the waitress immediately blamed my mother's friend. There was no professionalism, no empathy, and no effort to make things right. It's also important to say that my sister and her girlfriend have experienced noticeably different treatment when dining here compared to when I have gone with my boyfriend. The contrast in service is hard to ignore. Whether intentional or not, when patterns like this emerge, regarding disability, faith, or sexual orientation, it raises serious concerns about discrimination. This review is not written out of anger. It is written because this is not okay. In a time when respect and inclusivity matter more than ever, businesses have a responsibility to treat every guest with dignity regardless of medical condition, religion, or who they walk in with. Good food does not excuse poor treatment. I hope management takes this seriously and makes meaningful changes. read more

Bacon breakfast burrito was made very quickly and I decided to try their strawberry lemonade fresca. Very delicious

Food was good not great but very over priced cup of milk 6$ and a cup of coffee same price 5$ pancakes,menudo was good not great for 22$ a regular bowl first & last time I go read more

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. This was my first time visiting this restaurant for Mother's Day, and the experience was absolutely terrible. The owner was unbelievably rude from the moment we started ordering. She kept rushing us while we were trying to decide, and the food took forever to come out. On top of that, she tried forcing us to pay a tip for a party of 5 even though the service was awful. I refused because the experience did not deserve it. She became angry, started yelling at me, and claimed I was "legally required" to pay the fee. I would have understood an automatic gratuity if the service had actually been good, but it was not. The entire experience was disrespectful and uncomfortable. I will NEVER be coming back. Terrible service, terrible attitude, and a terrible owner. read more

Never going back to this restaurant. At first I was excited to try their food, however service was bad- the lady which I believe is the owner or manager rushed us to order and was really rude, they brought in our food and while the food was pretty decent, they forgot to bring in one of the meals for our party- so we had to remind them that we were missing a plate. We didn't have one server we had multiple people- which became disorganized. Once we checked the bill they automatically charged a 18% tip to the bill that we couldn't take off, which is not worth it as the service was bad!! read more

Honestly place isn't that good at all there's only one person working at the counter prices are pretty high and worst of all the prices of drinks aren't listed And when I ask for the price I get no answer I wouldn't really recommend read more

The waitress was really friendly and attentive. I ordered the menudo, flavor wise it was savory and thick but it could've been a little hotter for my liking. I really like the high ceilings of this cafe it makes it feel more spacious. read more

I found this place on TikTok so I gave it a chance ...place is pretty big and clean I'll give it that...BUT they charge $2.00 service fee for any debit or credit cards which is ridiculous..food was okay nothing special or anything that stood out..but wouldn't go back because their menu offers "crepes" but have to pay for anything inside the crepe ..like the bananas and Nutella separate ! Wow...I've never had to do that before read more

Sunflower Cafe - Card fee note - Cafes Near Me - Lancaster, California

The service was extremely poor. The waitress had a consistently rude attitude, and after reading other reviews, it's clear this isn't a one-off--it's a pattern. Whether she's the owner or an employee, this behavior is damaging to the business. We ultimately decided not to order because the interaction was so unpleasant. There's also a $2 fee for using a credit card, which is posted--but combined with mediocre food, prices and unprofessional service, it's hard to justify. Paying extra to receive rude treatment isn't something I'm interested in. Customer service matters, and this experience missed the mark completely. read more

Some of the best breakfast food in the area. Fresh salsa is the best anywhere! Great random search surprise.

Every time we've come the food has been great and the customer services is so inviting. read more

Sunflower Cafe - Rotten coffee creamers It left white stuff in my coffee Poor service - Cafes Near Me - Lancaster, California

For the prices food is very minimal and service was not good. Business was not busy we had a party of 12 , not once did they come ask if we needed refills or anything unless they were asked after several times to bring us drinks because everyone had an empty cup, and they didn't even bother to pick up the stacked dirty plates to allow us to have more room ... but they were quick to add a gratuity tip even though service was not given. Food did have a good flavor though but overpriced for the amount they give you. Overall not a good experience I don't plan on going back and do not recommend it. read more

Good food, just a little too pricey for me, good service as well but for a few breakfast burritos over 50 was too much

Not the business. Menudo was watered down and not on point. Which is the reason that came in from seeing the sign. My girl creeps were a little too thick (over priced , I don't mind paying if it was quality) the place looks nice, but I didn't come here for the tour. This will be the last time I be here. No Apple Pay as well. Sever was nice, but only saw her once and didn't get a refill on my coffee. read more

Looked like a cute place, but the waitress gave big attitude when asked what kind of agua Fresca drinks they had. Seemed very short with us, but very friendly with the Spanish speaking customers. Can definitely tell if you're welcome or NOT. Food was just ok. Won't be going back. read more

For a family-owned place, they sure don't care about the people keeping them open. Rude service, terrible food ..just skip it.

The food was excellent here! The best breakfast burritos in the AV, hands down! Side note, the couple people who complained about the prices of the drinks must not know that it's 2025. These are some of the "benefits" of Trump's tariffs. read more

The food and atmosphere are really nice and welcoming. Service was great too, love the small cafe feel

We gave this place a try because it was near our house. Food was ok and unforgettable. The service was very slow and we didn't enjoy the overall vibe the place and the waitress was giving. read more

Low quality food the service was horrible and I didn't feel welcomed first and last one

Family-owned coffee shop. Mexican American cuisine. Also has wonderful crepes. Recently we had a birthday party that went off without any troubles. Absolutely the best variety of food in Lancaster. The service was fantastic and I could not be happier. Open for breakfast and lunch closes at 2pm. Soon will be getting its liquor license. Don't miss this quaint delicious coffee shop. 20th and avenue L next to the old Ralph's market. read more

My husband and I really wanted to try this place especially the menudo, they have a sign that says please seat yourself as we walked in we saw a couple of tables open but we were asked to wait outside so they can clean some tables mind you it is over 100 degrees. Very disappointed. read more

Food is over priced and not everything on the menu is good. The Cafe de olla was $9.00 per cup! It was not good tasting. The service is lacking in friendliness and attention. Some tables were piled with dirty dishes. Not worth the money you will end up spending on food you're probably not going to like. read more

Definitely do not recommend to anyone! I walked in with my daughter and the waiter said to pick any seat. I asked if they accepted tap payment and she immediately changed her attitude and said very rudely NO and gave me the dirtiest look like I didn't have the intention of paying. Then she proceeded to tell my no restaurant around here accepts that type of payment. I wanted to get out of character so bad but I was with my daughter! Definitely don't go to this place. The one and only waiter they have is very rude! Drove down the street to crazy Otto instead definitely a way different experience was treated very kindly and my daughter loved the experience of being inside crazy otto! its so sad to say that it's always your own race to treat you bad! Do better Sunflower Cafe! And FYI Crazy Otto's takes tap payments and they did not look at me like I was a criminal when I asked if they take tap! read more
