The service here was really great however, there were a few things that I really didn't like. When they serve you toast, they dont butter it. Just give you a cold butter pad. It is really hard to spread butter on a piece of toast if it's not super hot still. So we had toast with cold butter lol. And then the home style potatoes needed to be cooked longer - they were severely undercooked and halfway hard. The regular hashbrowns looked really good though! read more

We come here almost every day! Best food and best service! Highly recommended! Staff is amazing

We like the rice option on the breakfast. When they make lasagna soup- we absolutely love that! ( no other restaurant does lasagna soup) If they made it every day, we'd go every day! We visit 20 restaurants a month. read more

This is a neat local restaurant. Kind of kitschy with diner booths and local art. The staff was friendly and the food came out quickly. We had the French toast which was very good. It had cinnamon in it which was a nice surprise. The Swedish pancakes were good as well although were more similar to crepes. Overall it's a very nice place with good comfort food. We will return again. Enjoy. read more

Nothing fancy atmosphere, but very clean and comfy. Service was excellent and their menu is rich with unique and delicious choices, along with all the traditional items, as well. We had two of their items off the seasonal menu; banana Nutella stuffed French toast and a Monte Christo. I really hope they keep those forever, both were fantastic. Fresh coffee and some fun coctail choices, too. Their Bloody Mary was simple, but perfectly spiced and yummy! We will definitely be back. read more

Sunflower Cafe - Monte Christo - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Renton, Washington

Stopped in Sunday morning, was seated right away, and set up with water while browsing the menu. Staff was friendly and checked on my table a few times while eating. I ordered the corned beef and hash, but pointed at the menu while ordering and ended up receiving chicken fried steak. I debated sending it back, but didn't have time. The steak itself was a bit tough still, but the breading and sausage gravy were excellent. Eggs were really good, and hashbrowns were okay. I'll try the home style potatoes next time. Even with my order getting mixed up, I still enjoyed my meal and plan to return and actually try the corned beef and hash. Update- Stopped in for the corned beef. First time having it served like this. Lots of flavor. read more

Best Loco Moco!!! Meant to many places that serve this dish, but this one is the best!

It would be great if your establishment posted ACTUAL hours of operation. We arrived at 1:45 to find the doors locked with a posted close time of 2pm. I get it, late diners are drag and you all want to go home, but I've never come across this type of behavior in a restaurant before. The posted hours should be your hours - end of story. Couple this with my first extremely poor experience at this establishment, where our server was entirely focused on the owners family, (I know because pictures were up during the grand opening) and I am never bringing my family back. In fact I should have left a review for that travesty of an experience and I don't know why I was willing to give a second chance to begin with. These Fairwood locals will now spend 30 minutes to get to a cafe in Kent with better hours and service. read more

We love stopping in for breffist and ESSPECIALLY love that we can enjoy it without traveling far. Inside is clean, open, well-lit, clean. Oh wait, I said that already. Music at a decent level and decent sound dampening to help ambient noise. Sort of a cross between a "normal" restaurant and a diner (which I love) Food has been great. Chicken Fried Steak is my go-to. I do need to warn future patrons that there appears to have been some demonic pact or bargain made because the gravy is heavenly. Dangerously heavenly. Hoping the Sunflower Cafe remains a Fairwood staple for years to come. read more

Sunflower Cafe - Swedish crepes & sunflower breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Renton, Washington

This cafe has good breakfast selections. Portions are hit and miss. My husband had the hash and it was a very small portion, so small he asked about it and the server said that's their portion size. The service is friendly and good. The atmosphere is bright and it has always been really busy when we have been there, but not too long a wait for seating. read more

A delightful place to eat. Fantastic food and wonderful staff. My spouse and I are regulars and there hasn't been anything on the menu we haven't enjoyed. Best recommendations are the French dip sandwich, the French toast and eggs, burgers, and their soup rotation. Highly recommend! read more

Went to Sunflower Cafe for the 1st time today. Was very excited that Renton has a Family restaurant for breakfast and lunch. Prices not too bad. Had Chicken fried steak and eggs and hash browns. Apparently doesn't come with toast What?? Waitress sat us and left us for a good ten minutes. Not the most friendly person. Came back and took order of drinks and food. Food came out pretty quickly but was cold. There were 4 of us. Others in our party ordered a breakfast croissant - which he loved. My husband ordered hash and eggs ( which came with toast). He liked it but hash browns were cold) and my daughter-in-law ordered Chilaquiles which she loved. My husband said best coffee he's had in a long time. So basically we'll give it another try. Food good but would like eggs and hash browns to be at least warm. Menu is awesome. Restaurant is very clean and cute. read more

For a basic breakfast place in the neighborhood with no frills this is a decent spot. Went on a Wed mid- morning and the place was half full. Waitstaff was friendly. I had the sunflower cafe meal with eggs, choice of meat, toast and hash browns. I upgraded the hash browns to potato tumblers which were like potato balls. read more

Sunflower Cafe - Sunflower breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Renton, Washington

My favorite new breakfast place! We started coming here because it was close to our new apartment. Very clean & inviting atmosphere. Food is always on point with decent sized portions. The best part is definitely the price. Things are fairly priced here and feels affordable. Service is always quick. Servers are attentive and friendly. Food always arrives at table at a decent time even when it's slammed. Definitely recommend. They do breakfast all day! read more

Solid little basic breakfast joint in Renton. Interior is clean, not cluttered and has a very open feel. Inside is very diner-esque, which you wouldn't get that vibe from looking at the exterior. Food came out pretty quickly even though the restaurant was busy. I ordered a pancake and it was pretty big, split the biscuits and gravy with my sister and mom got the cali benedict. The pancake was really solid, crispy and just dense enough. The biscuits and gravy were pretty good too, not too salty. The hash browns were okay, a little cold. Overall, really good experience and prices weren't steep. read more

Sunflower Cafe - Farmer's Omlette & Coffee - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Renton, Washington

I came here with a group of friends for brunch. This restaurant used to be a Starbucks but they moved to another location closeby. There's plenty of parking around the plaza. As I entered the restaurant, I noticed it was not full with lots of seatings. The interior was bright, reminds me like you're in a classic diner. As I joined my party, we were seated immediately. The menu was very standard and has all your basic breakfast/lunch foods. Prices are a bit hefty. I decided to order the farmer's omelet which includes sausage, ham, onion, bell pepper, and cheese with a side of toast and hashbowns. Overall, I thought my breakfast platter was just average. Nothing too special except if you want to shell out some cash. I understand that they're fairly new, my meal should not cost $20 with tips. Imo I think you're better off going to IHOP just for the cost and the variety in general. read more

My husband and I decided to try the café as we wanted to support local businesses. The first time we walked in, we loved the vibe with the music and the brightness of the place. The friendliness of the staff are amazing and they know who you are and are always willing to make it right. Their coffee is always consistently good, it's not fancy as lattes , but it's really good for a drip. My husband always gets the chicken fried steak and we really like the sausage gravy. Today my husband tried the eggs Benedict and I hesitate to get them at different places because the eggs never cooked right or the sauce is broken. Today the sauce was really good, the eggs were cooked perfectly. If you're looking for gourmet and fancy breakfasts, this may not be the place for you. If you're looking for a simple home cooked style breakfast give this place a try! Our favorite servers and I think only servers are Jessica and Kahlani and I appreciate them so much! They want to make sure that you are satisfied customers, and if they feel that the bacon is not crispy enough, they will send it back and make it even more crispy! I have a tendency to make things extra crispy! It may not be the restaurant for all, but they do deserve a chance, and I would love for them to be successful! read more

I really wanted to like this cafe. I had been meaning to try them for months. We went today . The food was awful. My breakfast was completely cold. I had to send it back to be reheated. My toast was burnt . I had the sunflower breakfast with eggs, toast, hash browns and bacon. The food did not have much flavor.The only good item that I had was the sunflower spritz. I'm sorry but I will not be back. We had a party of 4 the French toast and the steak and eggs were pretty bland and room temperature. read more

The service was good the Ambiance bright with plenty of natural light!! My husband was raving about this place because he tried it on his lunch break. So I went on a date with my husband for breakfast I ordered pancakes bacon and eggs my eggs were slightly overcooked and my pancakes and bacon sadly we're not anything extraordinary!! I also ordered a mimosa but it's easy to make mimosas, especially when you pour yourself My husband breakfast not to bad, he did not bother eating his hash browns as you can see in the picture they're very undercooked. Also ordered a Hawaiian coffee which was served somewhat lukewarm I did not bother to finish. The presentation of the food was good but the taste and quality not so good maybe we caught the chef on a bad day, but at least I tried based upon a friends recommendation and my husband's recommendation. read more

The server was great no issues with the cleanliness, staff or presentation. The food looked really good but it really just wasn't. It was very bland. I dare say the chicken fried steak just tasted chewy and flavorless. The hash browns were good but hard to mess those up. I really wasn't a fan of the gravy. I hate leaving poor reviews but the food just didn't taste of very good quality I hate to say. Not to mentioned $20 for lunch there are far better options nearby. read more

Service was great. We were seated promptly and server was easy going and friendly. The restaurant wasn't too crowded, noisy or busy for a Saturday at 10 am. The food was just okay from my point of view. Nothing stood out. I'm unlikely to be back unless it's due to convenience. read more

I know this place is new.... So I want to be nice but I also need to be fair to other customers and consumers wanting to eat a nice breakfast / brunch out. I would not recommend this place. We came in after going to a concert in Seattle. We were so excited to support a new establishment, however, it was a let down. When we walked in, we were ignored for around 10 minutes. No one at the host stand, there's a sign that says wait to be seated. So finally we flagged someone down and got seated. Server seemed new, kinda shy, totally get it. She told us the soup of the day and walked away to grab waters. When she came back, we started ordering and they were out of every single thing we ordered. LOL. How frustrating when the server hasn't mentioned anything from the beginning. I ordered biscuits and gravy, "oh we are out of gravy", then I ordered the eggs Benedict, "oh we are out of hollandaise", then I just settled with an omelette because God Forbid they are out of eggs. Then my friend went to order the avocado toast, "oh we are out of avocados", so she ended up with the spam sandwich.... It was exhausting having to reorder something else on the spot... the food we ended up eating was average. The inside looked like a classic breakfast spot, pretty basic, lots of booths. I forgot to take pictures after getting my 3rd preference for an entree. read more

Soft opening day for Sunflower Cafe! Ordered take-out so review on food is limited. Greeted warmly as I walked in. Placed to-go order at front counter and server was really nice. Style and feel of place is very casual and like a diner. Lots of seating so place should accommodate larger groups and also has counter seating. Ordered ham croissant sandwich that came with havarti cheese, country potatoes on the side, along with a just bit of fruit as well. Not the typical croissant but it was good. Ham was like a carved ham too and not typical deli sliced. Sandwich had some weight to it and was delicious. Didn't wait too long but I did come in the morning and very few diners inside. Can't wait to try this place again and actually sit in the restaurant. read more

Classic diner decor. Upscale diner experience. Not a common strip mall experience. Good size portions.

We live a few minutes away and are excited to have a local cafe now down the street! It is a bit pricey but does make sense per the small business aspect - I.e for the price charged, if you went to a chain you would probably get a side of pancakes/toast in addition to your omelet/entree whereas here you do not get that. I ordered the vegetable omelet and my husband got the chicken fried steak. We were both pleased with our orders and the quality of how the food turned out. The veggie omelet had a lot of flavor and generous amount of vegetables inside. My husband noted the chicken fried steak had decent flavor and was very crispy on the outside. We came around 10:30am on a Saturday and didn't have to wait for a table but by the time we were checking out, we did have to wait a little to get the check as the restaurant filled. Staff is very friendly, restaurant is decently sized, and it was clean during our visit. Support local and check it out! read more

Delicious food and delightful service. They have lots of gluten free options, including a wrap. I love coming here!

Great to see this place finally opened in our neighborhood. We went there on Saturday and every table was full and only on their third day being open. My wife loved her bacon breakfast sandwich and I enjoyed the broccoli cheddar soup. We did not drink anything but just know they offer liquor and beer featuring bloody Mary's and mimosas for their brunch service. Will definitely go back. read more

Wanted breakfast....I was told about this place just opening up and said....let's go. It's a start up and hasn't even been open a week. First the waitress did a good job taking care of me. Next the pancakes , bacon & sausage was good. Oh the Potatoes on the side menu are hash browns rolled up into a ball....there good. Lite music playing in the background. I've been to places that just opened up and this is definitely one of the better ones. I'll recommend Sunflower Cafe to everyone! read more

I give them 2.75/5. I understand that we visited during the soft opening, so hopefully changes can be made accordingly. I ordered the chicken fried steak. Pros: the chicken fried steak was crispy & tasted good. Eggs were cooked perfectly (asked for soft scramble). Coffee was good. Cons: the chicken fried steak was VERY thin. The eggs & the hash browns were bland. The price is WAAAY too expensive for the portions. (~$19). And didn't even come with toast. For context, traditional diners that are priced similarly usually have at least DOUBLE the portion size. AND comes with toast. We had to pay extra for it (~$2). Increasing the portions would be better than reducing the price, since labor costs would still be about the same if they increase portion sizes. We really needed a diner like this in the area, so going forward, I hope they can make the proper adjustments. I'll return & try their other menu items. read more

They are finally open!!!!!!! We went there today after waiting very patiently for this place to open. The inside is super clean, nice looking, and the staff is super friendly. My wife and son had the French toast and they said it was the best they had ever had. I was super thrilled to see some different options on their menu like Portuguese sausage and spam so I ordered up one of my favorite meals...spam, eggs, and rice. My food was also exceptional and I wouldn't hesitate to go back again! I wish you all nothing but the best and welcome to Fairwood!!! read more
