We came here for a birthday lunch on a Saturday around noon with a party of three and waited about 10 minutes to be seated. We ended up on the patio, which was honestly the best part of the experience. It felt like a little garden with lots of greenery, water fountains, and heaters, and it was a really nice place to spend a leisurely lunch. We ordered the pecan bacon waffle and the biscuits with eggs. Both were fine but not very memorable. I also tried the sesame and matcha latte, which sounded more exciting than it actually was. Service was friendly but not very attentive. Our water glasses were never refilled during the entire meal, which stood out. Portions were also on the smaller side for the price. I know this is Sonoma and things are generally expensive, and it feels like people come here more for the ambiance than the food, but the value just didn't quite line up. Overall, this was a solid three-star experience for me. If you're staying around Sonoma Square, food options are limited, so this works if you're prioritizing atmosphere and location, but I wouldn't go out of my way for the food. read more

This place has good ratings/reviews so I was here for breakfast and had the following: Sweet Corn Scramble Breakfast Biscuit Peach and Cream Waffles The scramble was good and tasted very fresh. The addition of corn was not traditional and I respected that...it was something unique. My companion's biscuit was very good - a buttery buttermilk biscuit with nice fluffy eggs and cheese. The waffles were okay...the batter used was nothing special, but I did enjoy the fresh peaches in the dish. The ambiance is cute - really leaned into the "relaxed wine country" vibe from around the area. The service was very friendly. The price point was high for the experience...this isn't a fancy place by any means and for two people (three entrees, no drinks, no coffee/juice) it was almost $100. I realize that dining in the Bay Area/wine country can be expensive (even for "casual" spots), but this seemed a little much. I think the menu does change a bit along with the fruits/vegetables of the season, so check their menu if you're expecting something specific. read more

I'm sorry what is this place thinking $20 for a matcha and a chai ???????? No. I get a large chai at Whole Foods for $5! Sunflower is WAY overpriced, not coming here again as a local who loves this town and to support local but NOT to be ripped off! read more

Went to this place with my family on our way back from Sonoma last weekend. It took around 15 mins for us to get the table as I think they were under staff since enough empty tables were available. I must say the ambiance was nice & they made the place very cozy with heaters & were also giving blankets. We ordered Turkish eggs, bacon & pecan waffle, coconut pudding, american breakfast, sesame & matcha iced tea & hot chocolate. For us the top dishes were hot chocolate, bacon & pecan waffle, American breakfast & coconut pudding. Turkish eggs were okay but looked really nice we thought the dish was heavy on yogurt & less on seasoning. Overall the service & food was really nice. Would rate this place 3.5/5. But for ambience 5/5. read more

Sunflower Cafe is...chefs kiss!! From the lovely atmosphere, the incredible food and truly one of the best servers!! We loved everything so much we were trying to get everything to take home. We bought a bottle of the homemade hot sauce which followed us trying to convince them to start selling their homemade biscuits (which were amazing and I'm a self declared biscuit expert) and the housemade chai mix that my husband was very impressed with. Every single one of our dishes was delicious, can't go wrong dining here :) read more

All around good. Breakfast for two was $100 with only 1 glass of wine. I'm a little surprised that staff acted like it was a big deal to throw an egg in the grilled cheese - as opposed to on the side ‍ lol.. how hard can it really be?? The server was like " im excited to confirm that we can add the egg in the sandwich " ‍ read more

This spot was very busy when we arrived. There was a line out the door waiting to be seated. The indoors had a nice modern vibe. We got seated in the back patio which was surprisingly spacious. I got the turkish eggs, but it was pretty underwhelming. There was way too much Greek yogurt to egg ratio and it just lacked flavor overall. The chai latte was also okay. A little too sweet for my liking. As busy as they were, they checked in on us at least once. read more

No military discount! Front desk, not so friendly, but the experience was great with our Server.

If you're a fan of Diners Drive In's and Dives don't bother coming here. None of the things that Guy Fieri tried are on the menu. What we did have was very bland, Don't come here if you want a bold flavor. read more

Super friendly staff and overly adorable courtyard for brunch! Came here on a Saturday and everyone greeted us as we walked by. Cayden was our server and very attentive to our asks as well as giving us recommendations on what to order. Went with the avocado toast and the burrito and were not disappointed. I loved the truffle oil and asked about it - a must have if you love truffle oil! Will be back again! read more

We dined in after about a 45 minute wait although it was a weekend and the restaurant was very busy. The outdoor seating was a nice environment with plenty of shade and fans. We shared a waffle and the bread for starters. The waffle was just okay but the chantilly cream was beautiful. The pumpkin bread was moist and flavorful but the espresso butter was definitely the standout. The Turkish eggs were pleasantly spicy and the American breakfast was good but without anything extraordinary. The service was speedy and courteous. read more

Great little spot in Sonoma. The outdoor seating is wonderful, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the service was excellent. Our waiter was super friendly and made the experience even better. The avocado toast was delicious, fresh, and well prepared. The mimosa was no joke either, definitely stronger than expected . Overall, a great place to start a Sonoma day. read more

Back patio was very ambient. Their menu seemed pretty limited and pricey however, the food was very good. It's like Europe has visited Sonoma. You will get no ice/cold water. Most of my complaints are petty however, I think for the price my complaints are unorthodox. The chairs were very uncomfortable and loud as their metal. I do appreciate that they have tiles for people wearing dresses. The table was very wobbly. Did our best to stabilize it. Like I said petty complaints overall a pretty nice place! read more

Been in Napa for 3 days, this was the favorite food of the entire trip and we did visit some incredible places. The biscuit sandwich had the best scrambled eggs I've ever had. Service was amazing, attentive, but not overly so. Food was all 10/10. We had our dog so we sat in the front and it was incredibly charming. read more

Sunflower Caffe - Egg * Buttermilk Biscuit Sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sonoma, California

Wine country prices. But wine county quality! There is a reason there is a line, it's that good!

Walt from Walt's Adventures here and I find myself at the Sunflower Cafe in Sonoma, California. This charming eatery is located around the main square area, has both indoor and outdoor seating and also has a wonderful covered backyard area. We were directed to the small front dining and fell in love with the ambiance. The beverages were skillfully created as well as the dishes we selected. I must admit that their Wagyu steak needs no additional sauce to enhance its flavor. It was the most tender steak I had the pleasure of eating and I dare say must have been the star of their menu. Our dishes were all quite good and I now have a favorite restaurant in Sonoma. read more

We came on a Sunday around 9:30am and waited about 5 minutes before we were seated outside. There was a fountain and space heaters so it felt warm and cozy. Our table was towards the back of the outdoor area so it was somewhat covered and close to trees. There were some fresh flowers in a small vase that added a nice touch to the overall ambiance. Brown butter maple latte was soooo good, on the sweeter side and I would order again. Matcha latte was very green and tasted quite earthy with a hint of sweetness. Turkish eggs were so flavorful and had plenty of sauce to go with the bread. The server offered more bread and I definitely took her up on that on that offer because there was so much sauce I didn't want to go to waste! The American Wagyu steak & eggs were delicious and the meat tasted high quality. The jam that came with it was sweet and paired well with the toast. Would come again to try the other dishes when I'm in the area! read more

We wandered in here after glancing at the menu and seeing they offered gluten free options, little did I know that almost their entire menu can be done gluten free!! We started with mimosas, had the peach, lavender and classic. The lavender was out of this world! Had our meals that consisted of the Wagyu Steak Grilled Cheese (on gluten free bread), the Chicken Avocado Grilled Cheese (on gluten free bread) and their Sweet Summer Corn Scramble. The chicken avocado grilled cheese was better and had more flavor than the steak one, but the steak one was needed for the hangover lol. It was a multi-grain bread that was perfectly buttered and toasted! The corn scramble was very tasty and unique! Service was fantastic, would definitely come back!! read more

Very cute place. I was initially worried about outdoor seating, but they have heaters and it's quite pleasant! Service was super friendly and efficient - I think the food was done in like five minutes. Speaking of the food, it was good! I'd say it was a little on the basic side, but it was clearly made with quality, fresh ingredients. Initially when the food arrived at the table, I was a little disappointed at the portion size, but by the time I finished eating my mind was changed about that - I wouldn't have wanted any more food. A few notes, the bacon came crispy. I liked it that way, and thought it was perfect, but my friend found it too crispy. Just a matter of opinion but worth keeping in mind. I'm not sure what the jam was, maybe strawberry? But it was yummy if not a little sweet. Overall, a good experience, I'd recommend it, and I'd come back. I'm deducting a star because originally I was going to order a waffle, but both my friend who had been here before, and the employee here that I asked, said it was a single, small, light waffle. And if they're asking $19 for a single waffle, I would expect it to be bigger than that run-on sentence I just created. read more

Great family owned spot in Sonoma for breakfast with a peaceful garden patio area. I enjoyed the Turkish Eggs from the menu. They definitely do not skimp on the coffee cup size if you order a large latte. They also have a little storefront with Sunflower merchandise for sale and there is plenty of street parking near the town square. Enjoyed and would go back to this restaurant again! read more

Outdoor patio was lovely. Service was friendly, knowledgeable, and prompt. Food was fantastic and well presented.

We come to Sunflower every time we visit Sonoma. The location is great, right on the square. Sunflower feels like three cafes in one. Sit outside out front, makes for great people watching, grabbing something to go to bring back to your Airbnb, and picking up some fun gifts, hats or teas, etc... for souvenirs. Last time we were there (ate there twice in four days!) we had a lovely brunch in the back garden area. They had a ton of beautiful fresh flowers in the fountain and portable heaters that help reduce the morning chill. I would highly suggest their kale Caesar with chicken for lunch, the Sunflower grilled cheeses are legendary, and the scrambled asparagus breakfast I had was tasty! Nice selection of wines by the glass. read more

This spot was highly recommended for brunch and I was not disappointed. Aside from the adorable theming, their outside patio is absolutely gorgeous. Lovely fountain and lots of lush greenery make for a serene dining experience (save for all of the pop music playing). Service was attentive and our PSLs and food came out very quickly. Their pumpkin spice latte is very mild, lovely foam. Their biscuit breakfast sandwich has a lovely soft scramble egg and the gochujang sauce isn't spicy. Wish the biscuit was toasted a bit more. The breakfast burrito comes wet and reminds me of an enchilada. Not the best but certainly not the worst! Lots of sour cream. FYI there's a 4% charge auto-added to your total. read more

This place is absolutely beautiful. Especially their patio seating. We were here in December, and it was still pleasant to be seated outside. Each table had its own heater, this was a big reason we could enjoy our lunch. As vegetarians we tried the following: Avocado toast : 4/5: This was really tasty. It had a bunch of stuff along with avocado. Did think it was pricey. Banh Mi : 4/5. This was a really nice sandwich, the bread was soft but was toasted well. Enjoyed the veggies that came in it. For drinks we tried the mocha and latte. Both of them were good. Only reason to dock a star is that it was a pricey place for breakfast. read more

Lovely and personal service. Good food. Great ambience. We sat outside and had a wonderful view of Sonoma's town Plaza.

Sunflower Caffe has all of the Sonoma charm you'd expect in a prime plaza historic location, complete with outdoor seating across their secret garden-y back patio space where we asked to sit. I knew I wanted to sit outside because 1.) duh, the weather here is quintessential patio-weather as long as it's shady, and 2.) I saw photos on Yelp and thought "that's exactly where I want to sip coffee." The patio is big but still cozy, entirely covered, and has lots of big green leafy plants and sprawling green ivies, bright yellow patio furniture, and cobblestone flooring. It's a clean and cute little hideaway in the middle of the busy plaza. We arrived at opening on a Saturday morning and were seated right away. This place definitely fills up fast, especially on a weekend. Our waiter was sweet and attentive and handled a lot of parties at once. I started with a much appreciated and needed espresso, then the guava mimosa which was super fresh and fruity, but maybe on the too-sweet-side for me... I usually prefer grapefruit or cranberry with bubbles for that extra bitter bite. Meanwhile, I thoroughly enjoyed the gluten free oat waffle with peaches and cream (and syrup and butter) plus a side of sausage. It was all top quality, nothing but yummy, beautifully plated food. This was one of my most enjoyable breakfasts ever.. if I lived nearby I'd maybe become an actual morning person..! read more

This has quite easily become one of my favorite places to make the drive to for the food and the vibes. Sunflower Caffe is a beloved place in Sonoma that my family and I have come to love. The staff here are so incredibly attentive and are honest about their menu. I had asked once about a menu item and the waiter was so forthcoming about how I could make a better choice and since then, I have always found that I want to come back due to the honesty. I will say from experience, the best time to come is late spring/early summer when the weather is perfect for the outdoor patio area that seems to be their main dining area. It's also the most perfect time because their flowers in the vicinity are in bloom and fragrant. As for the food, it is mostly all delicious and the best thing we always love ordering is their peaches and cream waffle in the summer. I would say skip on the stuffed peppers unless you really enjoy things like it. The smoked salmon dip is much better in comparison with depth of flavor and more variety to the plate. If you're looking for a cute brunch place before winery tours, I suggest you come here for the ambiance, the gorgeous garden, and the wonderful food. read more

Brunch on an early weekend morning before the square is filled with wine tasters and shoppers has been something I haven't experienced since moving to Sonoma over a year ago. The garden patio was chilly and quiet, but no complaints with the multitude of heaters around us. The coffee was hot and warmed us up before the delicious food arrived. Not a morsel was left behind. The wait staff worked like a well oiled machine, nothing was missed from water glasses to empty plates being taken away. This was a perfect way to start our morning before walking around the square when shops were starting to open. read more

Super cute breakfast joint in Sonoma! We were lucky enough to snag a table on the beautiful patio. We came here on a busy Saturday morning, so I definitely recommend arriving early to ensure a seat. Our server was very nice, but it was obvious he was feeling overwhelmed -- we were a large group as is, and I'm sure he had multiple others tables, so it was very understandable. Aside from a few hiccups on drink orders, everything came out correctly. The menu is farm-to-table style, which is my favorite when it comes to breakfast and brunch. The vanilla latte was the perfect drink to sip on while waiting for my breakfast sandwich. The sandwich was the classic bacon, egg, and cheese with garlic aioli on a brioche bun. I do wish it came with a side for more a complete meal. A side of breakfast potatoes is an additional $7 which seems to be a little excessive. Overall, super cute breakfast joint in downtown Sonoma! read more

Outdoor garden seating was nice. It was an unseasonably hour day. There was some shade and sun poking through. Our waiter didn't seem to quite understand us, so that was a bit odd, I had to always repeat myself, for my order and questions. And ask for things twice. But all in all the food was pretty, and flavorful. My mom had a beet and burrata salad with citrus and pistaccio. Dad a grilled cheese which looking like greasy gooey goodness And I went with the vegan wrap. It was filling; curried cauliflower, quinoa and greens with hummus and pickled onions. I liked it. The wellness shot was a bit pricey for a tiny shot. Don't feel any more well either lol. They had espresso and everyone was nice. Cute lunch spot read more
