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

We walked right in during January weekday breakfast hours. We really had a terrific server and the food, while simple, was outstanding. We enjoyed the Bacon Egg and Cheese sandwich and the chicken and cheese sandwich on grilled sourdough bread. It's a great place to grab breakfast or brunch. read more

Sunflower Caffe! My husband and I spent a few days in Sonoma for our anniversary and we had a wonderful brunch at Sunflower. We sat in the back patio which was so cute and fully in bloom. Although the caffe is fitting for any visit, I could just picture cute little breakfast dates or a gals brunch because of the bright and beautiful ambience. Service was great. My lavender latte was wonderful and the food was good too. Nothing that blew my mind, but it was delicious.would recommend! read more

Best brunch in years. Wonderful server, apologizing for a backed up kitchen with free beverages. The best veg scramble I've ever had and an amazing burrata with beets, grapefruit and pistachios. Perfectly crusty panzanella for dipping in the burrata. Beautiful fresh juices on a happy patio full of well fed people enjoying a splendid repast. read more

Visit to Sonoma and enjoyed this - such a great place for lunch. Get the tomato soupand ham grilled cheese - you won't be disappointed!

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 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

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

We came for lunch at Sunflower cafe and had such a great experience. There is a cute garden with seating in the back, which was a great spot with wonderful ambience. We started with the lavender mimosas, where were AMAZING! I had the ham and cheese grilled sandwich, and my friends had the avocado toast, breakfast platter, and beet salad. Everyone loved their meals! read more

Delicious! My friends and I were in Sonoma for the first time and tried this place after seeing so many good reviews. The food did not disappoint! Our server was super friendly and helpful. I went with the chicken avocado sandwich and it was so good. The chicken wasn't dry and the bread was perfect. The weather was amazing so sat outside in the back. I loved how yellow and bright the decor was. This is was a great place to start our trip. 10/10 recommend 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

A great brunch spot! We went during St. Patty's Day, and they served some special treats that day like the Lucky Charms drink. Service was attentive and nice. I tried their wellness shots too with the mushrooms and tumeric which was interesting and new. Food was the classic brunch food with the benedicts and scrambles. Restaurant had nice natural lighting and they had an outdoor patio. Will come back here again to see what special treats they have. 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

Absolutely loved this cute little cafe!! Loved Calistoga too. We had the best brunch, and sat outside in the beautiful garden!! read more

Absolutely loved this spot - we came twice in our 3 day visit. While there may be a wait at times, once you get sat, service and your food come out quick. They have a large outdoor patio outback and some indoor seating. We waited around 15 minutes before sitting inside on a busy Saturday morning. I was really in love with their healthy shots, both being really refreshing and definitely felt homemade. Their coffees were really tasty as well, though their dirty chai was a hit or miss (day 1, great, day 2 it was ok). I think their simple things are just as good as their more unique items - I loved the avocado toast as the avocado was nice and salty and the fun extras were unique. The turkish eggs were some of the most unique breakfast items I had but the flavors melded so well together, I would highly recommend. Portion size was large and staff was super friendly. read more

Delicious healthy food options, great service, beautiful restaurant! I'll go back every chance I have! Cheers for delicious healthy food!

We met our friend and his wife here for brunch on Presidents Day. The place was bustling. Lots of people. Put our names in and within 15 minutes we were seated. Sat out back on the patio. It was a perfect day to sit outside. Staff was pleasant and attentive (although had to remind them for a cup of coffee, not a huge deal). I ordered a biscuit and eggs sandwich which was good but my friend ordered the eggs Benedict. It looked better than mine. Nice place on the plaza for a little brunch. 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

Fantastic food. Great coffee and the vibe was chill with different rooms to enjoy for groups, couples and outdoor patios. Of the minor details in service that me, a service pro appreciated is the lack of sweetener options on the table and when not provided with the cream means I Ave to ask. Should be an automatic whether asked for or not on a coffee or tea order. That aside, it could be a communication miss from waitress to busser. Minor and not to affect the overall. read more

First time in this lovely walk-in café with two front entrances. I joined a friend who was sitting in the rear courtyard where a three tier water fountain trickled in the center. About 20 or more tables were full. The courtyard was surrounded by lovely greenery and abundant flowers. Service was fast and friendly. I had a green juice smoothie and egg and cheese sandwich. My friend had a 16 ounce latte with an order of Turkish eggs. Tables cleared and new visitors were rotated in while others were rotated out very efficiently; yet we never felt rushed at all. Our food and drinks were excellent and the courtyard ambience gave it an extra special vibe. A 4% health and happiness fee was added to our bill. Given our very positive experience, I was both surprised and happy to pay for the well-being of their great staff. Sonoma can get quite warm, so breakfast or an early brunch would be recommended. Parking on the square is abundant until about 11 AM. read more

We had their grilled chicken with avocado sandwich, smoke ham with grilled cheese sandwch, and the chorizo breakfast burrito. The sandwiches were good but the burrito was subpar. It barely had any meat or egg in it and mostly potatoes in a burrito wrap. The wait was quick it was 15 mins for a a weekend brunch at 10 am. The ambiance was good with a nice patio and the prices were fair and reasonable. The service was completely horrible. The servers rushed you and were so sloppy. At one point, the server was literally dropping utensils in an attempt to rush clearing out the tables. Overall, this place had horrible service which ruined everything else and would recommend skipping this place until their sort out their staff's service. read more

Stopped by my favorite dining establishment while @ the Sonoma Square for the day. It was rainy and a terrific excuse to have a hot cup of coffee and the American Breakfast. Ambiance was cozy inside and there were patrons dining in their outdoor patio. The coffee was soooo good, I purchased a bag of Avid Coffee on the way out. Next time I'm in the area, you'll find me here, my cozy lil' hideaway. Service was very friendly, prompt, and attentive. My coffee cup was filled and I was fulfilled. The breakfast was ample and everything on the plate was oh so yummy. read more

Sunflower cafe is such a nice, bright brunch spot! I love their Benedict and their waffles. Their burrito is okay, it's a lot of potato and a served wet. Their coffee is good, and their mimosas are pretty good although maybe a little watered down (what mimosas aren't?) Their backyard garden is my favorite spot to sit with a great ambiance, sitting on the sidewalk in front of the store is nice but does not get a lot of shade. read more

I think I'm officially over this place. I've been coming here for 15 years, but the prices are now downright absurd. $28 for a chicken kale Caesar with literally nothing on it?! Huh? I'm glad Sonoma is slowly getting some other good options for lunch. I'd rather go just about anywhere else on the square. Most things on girl and the fig's menu are under $26 and they're beautiful and way more satisfying than this sad salad I just got at sunflower for $28 plus. read more

Delightful, sunny setting. Friendly staff. Delicious food. I wanted to try to waffles but went with avocado toast instead. Not at all disappointed. New take on avocado toast - they have shredded Brussels sprouts on top. Unexpected but delicious! Also love that their bread is appropriately toasted and not at all soggy. My husband said he just ate the best breakfast burrito he has ever had. And he is the breakfast burrito connoisseur! Green chilies, large potatoes and tomatillo. Man-approved. Lovely setting. Music kinda loud. Special bonus: dog friendly, so you can peep all the cute pups. read more

Ok, I love this place. My friends and I came in on a Sunday afternoon and enjoyed the beautiful garden seating with plenty of heaters to keep us nice and toasty. We managed to snag a table without waiting, which I was happy about. It was bustling, but our server took the time to explain some menu items to us and was highly attentive and kind throughout our meal. We ordered the eggs benedict ($25), the buttermilk biscuit sandwich ($20), and the wagyu steak and eggs with a side of sausage. My eggs were perfectly poached, the hollandaise was nice and bright, the side salad was well-balanced, and I appreciated the massive pieces of ham. The biscuit for the sando and the eggs inside were incredibly delicious and fluffy. The sausage was flavorful and had a great bite to it. However, the wagyu came overcooked and missed the mark, which is unfortunate considering it's a $35 meal. To drink, we ordered the white peach bellini monster mimosa (enough for the 3 of us) and a round of the gut health and immunity boost cold-pressed juice shots. Unfortunately, they were out of the mental magic and inner energy juice shots, which I was eager to try. The drinks were all really tasty, and I appreciate the wellness shots on the menu, my favorite being the immunity boost "feel mo better." Definitely recommend it if you love that ginger spice like I do. Overall, Sunflower Caffe is a charming spot that's perfect for a relaxing meal in Sonoma. Its prime location in Sonoma Plaza makes it a convenient and worthwhile stop for anyone exploring the area. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu and soak in the lovely atmosphere! read more

We were in Sonoma for the weekend and had breakfast twice at Sunflower Caffe during our stay. The food was delicious

I recently came to Sunflower Caffe for breakfast, and had the opportunity to sit in one of their inside tables. They have a great backyard patio area that is available as well, if the weather permits. We tried the Turkish Eggs and the Breakfast Burrito. The turkish eggs were quite unique - something different from most items that I've had. The eggs were perfectly poached, and the dish being served with essentially a savory yogurt was quite unique. The breakfast burrito was solid as well, it was fairly loaded with ingredients and was topped with a generous amount of salsa and crema to supplement the dish. Our toddler enjoyed the blueberry-banana smoothie. He quickly drank half of the smoothie while he was enjoying a few bites of food here and there. Their prices are a bit steep for what you get, but their location in the Sonoma Plaza makes it somewhat to be expected. As a side note - they have a 4% health charge added to your check. I didn't see my check before selecting a tip, and only realized that there was this added fee at that time (it was on the menu, but I didn't notice it). read more

It's always so good! The outdoor seating on a gorgeous day, the fast service, the delicious omelette!

We had an amazing breakfast here. Sweet service with outdoor seating and heaters that worked so well w had to turn ours off. We ate the breakfast sandwich on the biscuit and it was delicious.

3.5 STARS Date: Saturday, February 3rd, 2024 Time: 2:30pm Party of: 5 Meal: Brunch / Lunch *Wild Mushroom & Goat Cheese Scramble ($17) *Smoked Salmon Benedict ($27) *American Breakfast ($17) *Chips & Caviar ($21) *Sunflower Grilled Cheese ($16), add Tomato Soup ($6) *Side Bacon ($9) *Pistachio Latte ($7) *Cappuccino ($5) *Drip Coffee ($4.50) x3 After wine tasting, it was time to eat! Decided to drop by Sunflower to check it out. We walked right in and were seated immediately in the back in the patio. No wait at all. Tho it was a very chilly day, so not a lot of people out and about. Food wise, I thought everything was pretty good. Especially the grilled cheese dipped in the tomato soup. Very comforting. I love fish roe, so wanted to try the chips and caviar. I think it needed onion or something to cut into all the saltiness. Roe = salty, chips - salty, it needed more than just the creme fraiche and chives. I was very happy with the coffee here. And our server kept it coming which was much appreciated. One thing to note, they do charge a 15% Health & Happiness Tax (which is subject to sales tax). I'm pretty sure this goes to all staff members, so we didn't consider that our tip. We did only tip 15% instead of the usual 20% plus, since the machine included the health tax in our subtotal. Just one thing to note since you may be spending over 40% of the food and drink costs on tip and tax. I did our calculations and with sales tax, it was an extra 42.59%. Glad I checked this place out. It's cute. And on a nice day, I'm sure the patio is super fun. But food wise, I thought everything was just A-OK. Bumping up for the awesome coffee service. NOTE IN RESPONSE TO COMMENT ON REVIEW: I wish our server said something as we were openly discussing the Health and Happiness Tax (and what it included) before we paid the bill. Or reminded us when we were paying that tip was already included. Why is tipping even an option if that is the case?! Glad the menu is changing to address the confusion. Tho the server really should have reiterated that tip was already included when we paid. Feels worse knowing I accidentally tipped twice vs just paying a tax and then tipping on top. Everyone, learn from my mistake! read more
