Had a great first time experience at this restaurant, food was excellent, some of the best tomato soup i've ever had. The staff are very friendly and accommodating, they even offered to bring a bowl of water outside for my dog when we sat down outside. The outside patio layout is very cute and there was shade which was very appreciated for how hot of a day it was outside. read more

Oh my god soooooooooo good. First of all, I would definitely recommend sitting in the garden patio area if the weather allows because it is gorgeous!! Even if the weather isn't perfect, they have lots of umbrellas and heaters around the tables that the very friendly staff is happy to assist you with! I started off with a lavender oat latte, which was great high quality coffee and a really nice lavender taste that didn't taste too sweet or artificial at all. My specialty coffee barista/coffee snob boyfriend was very happy with his cappuccino, as well, so that's how you know it's good! The food was incredible. My turkish eggs were delicious and paired with yummy crusty sourdough toast. Everyone was beyond satisfied with the service, the atmosphere, coffee and brunch! This was my first time in Sonoma, and I would come back just to eat here again. read more

Just got home from wine country and i'm STILL thinking about the biscuits and eggs here. There's a reason why there's a line out the door for this place. You should plan your morning around the food here. read more

Sunflower Caffe - Buttermilk Biscuit Sandwich w/ avocado - 10/10 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sonoma, California

This place is such a cute find in Sonoma! I've been twice now and they're always so popular with good reason. Good: - it was a rainy cold day and they gave us heaters and blankets! Great nice staff that also gave us a froyo for a birthday girl - Loved the avocado toast - tasted healthy and was also packed with good flavor and very crispy - Wellness juice shots were fun to get here - Cute sunflower theme Bad: - A bit slow on service since they have so many people Overall would come again! A fun place to go with friends. read more

Eggs benedict for breakfast on a Sunday morning. Sonoma was busy today so there was a 20 minute queue to place our order. It's a pretty organized system to wait for a cashier, place your order and then go inside to find a table. Dawdling afterwards isn't really encouraged. My breakfast was very good. Perfectly poached eggs on a thick slice of salted ham over their house-made bread with a spring salad on the side. Coffee was good. It seemed like once the food was dropped off, we didn't have anyone stop by and where we supposed to refill coffee ourselves? [Review 21008 overall - 525 in California - 1993 of 2023.] read more

I'm a local and I can say that this place is way overrated! I think the customer service can improve so much! I decided to give it another chance and again, waiter only came around once to check in on us after almost finishing our food! I'm always giving them the benefit of the doubt but two times in a row? Go somewhere else! read more

Casual but warm and cheerful atmosphere. It is best to get here earlier than brunch, particularly if it's sunny out. Came here on a lazy Sunday with clouds and it was still bustling but classy and friendly from host to waiters. We got three primary dishes with the duck sandwich, salmon eggs Benedict and Turkish eggs. These three were decadent and definition of comfort foods delicious. All highly recommended. We also had hot chocolate, drip coffee, mocha and the peach mimosa. All fully up to snuff. We will be back again. 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

The back patio of the restaurant was lovely. Spacious and shaded with trees. We had a quiet corner booth. The service was quick, efficient, and friendly. The lattes, to start, were delicious. The variety of food was great! They had different choices apart from the typical brunch dishes. Generous portions. A wonderful gem in Sonoma! read more

Lovely brunch and an amazing cute patio with string lights, heaters, and a garden vibe

Delicious, artfully presented food. Cute patio in the back. Lovely staff. Will definitely eat here again. We had the biscuit egg sandwich and the mushroom scramble. Both were excellent and came with a side of fresh greens. read more

First time here! Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant in Sonoma The service is unmatched. The staff truly cares about your experience at the sunflower cafe.

We came here for breakfast after a wedding and it was the best. All really healthy options and a delicious variety on the menu. The Turkish eggs were absolutely incredible and the salmon Benedict and salmon dip were top-tier. The back patio is so so nice and on a hot day, it's all shaded. I wanna come back tomorrow morning. The host was able to get us a table right away in the back even though it seems so busy. read more

Super cute cafe with lovely outdoor garden seating in a courtyard. This place always has a line, especially on the weekends and they don't take reservations, so plan to come early! If you have a smaller group (4 people or fewer) you might wait less. My friends and I came here on the Sunday morning during Labor Day weekend on our Sonoma wine tasting trip. I think we arrived around 10 a.m. and joined the queue behind two other people. Once it was our turn after maybe 5-10 minutes, we were seated immediately. We were seated at a four-top table in the shade which was great. Two of us ordered the summer scramble (it's not on their menu currently since it's since changed from their summer menu to fall menu) but it had goat cheese and came with dressed greens. I got a chai latte which was good, but not spicy. The food overall was good, but just your standard brunch fare. I do appreciate though that the ingredients seem high quality, and they list their vendors at the bottom of the menu. Since it was a holiday weekend, or maybe because we didn't order mimosas, we felt like we were being rushed. Our drinks and food came too quickly for our liking and it felt like they were trying to turn over tables quickly for the massive line outside. Overall, go for the outdoor seating and ambiance, but it's not the place they want you to relax and stay a while, especially during a holiday weekend. read more

This place has plenty of patio seating and limited indoor seating. With the fans running outside and the shades it's comfortable. The server shows he wants minimal time at the table and stood over me as I selected the TIP. The breakfast and scramble pictured are okay, nothing special. The eggs are not farm fresh as advertised based on the lack of flavor (I've eaten eggs the day of delivery many times). We expected more based on the reviews. I'd planned to get dessert but based on lunch will pass. read more

Sunflower Caffe - Breakfast and Breakfast Scramble - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sonoma, California

The BEST spot for coffee and breakfast in Sonoma. You order at a counter and get a number. The staff were all very friendly and kind. The coffee is delicious and the pastries were too tempting not to buy. Ordered a cappuccino, the homemade poptart pastry, and an avocado toast. All other breakfast options looked delicious and you can see the quality in the ingredients. Sat in the back porch area which were filled with heaters so we felt warm and cozy. Love this place and can't wait to come back! read more

I'll try to keep this review short. Parking is along the street around the park. I was able to park nearby but it should be a short walk. Seating area is nice with a garden feel. There are a few tables inside, but most of the tables were outside. Service was good. Wait staff was nice and prompt. Keep in mind that they don't take reservations. Food was great. Portions were just the right size. N Side note that they add 4% to the bill for their staff benefits separate from the tip. read more

I lived in Sonoma for 15 years and recently moved. I understand Sunflower Cafe is a Sonoma staple and have been several times in the past. I was pretty disappointed with my experience yesterday. The girl who took our Order looked like she had woken up 5 minutes ago and rolled out of bed to stumble to work. She had no enthusiasms whatsoever. Our food was ok, my brioche was dry and my friends toast was hardly toasted. The vibe outside is beautiful but I will think twice about going back there read more

The food and the garden are great. However the service is terrible. We're in the back after the kitchen closed and the staff was cleaning up for the close. I asked for two boxes and was packing the food while a waiter almost ripped out the plate out of my hands and knocked off silverware while forcing himself to clean off the table. I was taken aback by this and asked him to back off to give me time to pack food without ripping the plate out of my hands. I understand they need to clean and close. But they do not need to roll over the customers while doing it. read more

Sunflower Café is... okay. The atmosphere is cute and welcoming, and the service was friendly enough, but the food didn't quite stand out. Portions were decent and everything came out in a reasonable time, but the flavors were just average. Nothing was bad, but nothing really wowed either. It's the kind of place that works if you're nearby and want a casual bite, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back. read more

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

Sunflower Caffe - Breakfast * Egg & Chorizo Burrito - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sonoma, California

Got an 8 oz blueberry smoothie from here! It was very delicious, refreshing, and the perfect amount of thickness. Sometimes smoothies can be too watery. I will say that the 8 oz size is very small though, definitely wasn't expecting this! Nonetheless, I still appreciate their mission and prioritizing of quality ingredients. read more

Came here for brunch on a Sunday morning. We were seated inside where the kitchen is (only table available after a 30 min wait), and it was pretty loud. The price for average breakfast foods was quite steep ($25-$30 for entrees), and the food felt fairly average. I did appreciate that they offered vegetarian options for pretty much everything on the menu. I got the breakfast burrito; it was okay, just drenched in a tomatillo sauce that felt a bit overpowering. Something that was really off-putting was being seated near the kitchen area - there were several flies flying around the food which as unappealing; additionally, they allowed a dog in the same room that we were seated in (i.e., the kitchen area) which felt unhygienic and inappropriate. If I'm in Sonoma again, I'd consider coming back to try another option, but may not prioritize it over other brunch spots. I would have liked to try the patio area if I could go back. read more

The American breakfast was very good, unfortunately the poached eggs for the eggs Benedict were underdone. Prices were quite high so you would expect exceptional food, and service. The food was slightly above average, and the service was lacking . If you were hoping to get a refill of water or coffee, don't hold your breath. And certainly don't make any special requests like hot sauce or ketchup. You probably won't get them until after you finish your meal. Also note in the small print at the bottom of the menu and there is a 4% surcharge. So instead of accurately charging you for food they have hidden charges. Wanted to get a good review, but I can only give an average one read more

Took a chance on the Kale Chicken Caesar knowing the typical quality of the food here is usually good. What I got for 27.00 plus tip was maybe 1/3 of a chicken breast A pile of kale and a sprinkle of Parmesan and no salad dressing at all. This was a to go order and so back in the car to get the dressing. "sorry 'bout that" didn't sincere. read more

Can not recommend this place anymore! Such a cute little cafe on the sonoma square! The service is always so friendly! They have the best grilled cheese and it's chicken and avocado! My wife and I order this everytime. If you haven't been here yet definitely put it high on your list. read more

Lovely little spot in the Sonoma plaza, great for breakfast and a coffee before starting your adventure for the day! It was a chilly morning but they have powerful heaters all over the patio and we were very comfortable, they also offer blankets if you need one. Our server was friendly and attentive, and the food was great. We had the pumpkin bread, it was soft and fluffy and the granola added just the right crunch. And the espresso butter is delish. Also had an egg cheese and bacon breakfast sandwich and some yummy fresh squeezed OJ. Def recommend! read more

Sunflower Caffe - Pumpkin bread, Bacon, Egg & Cheese Sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sonoma, California

There are many great things to say about Sunflower caffe. However there were some things that I believe they can improve on. Ambiance: I liked the way this place looked. From the front of house to their backyard seating area, it was atmospheric and clean. Service: This was great! I had a great server who recommended items off the menu when asked and answered all of our questions. Food came out quick and he came to check in on us appropriately. Food: I got the buttermilk biscuit sandwich. I loved the egg and cheese on this however, the biscuit itself was a bit tough. Salad was simple but great. My party also got the Wagyu Steak grilled cheese and this is probably the best dish from my group, as I had a little bit of everyone's dish. The steak was tender, the bread crispy and soft, the sauce was a great mixture of spice and tart. This was an all rounder must try. The Grilled Cheese, Chicken and Avocado sandwich was good too but the chicken was a bit too dry for me. Beverages: I got the Boylan root beer. This was by far a watered down version of a root beer. I assume it's because they use real sugar cane but I would not order again. BTW this is by no means a fault to Sunflower Caffe or the kitchen as this is just a brand name root beer that they probably sponsor. The vanilla iced latte was good and had a unique taste to it, not your typical style that you would get from Starbucks or anything. There is one gripe I had about this place and it is regarding the fans. Now the weather was around 80-ish and while I did appreciate the many fans hanging on the corner of each rooftop for the backyard seating, it was rather too powerful. So much so that it was blowing the napkins away. It was also too loud that my party had to speak a little louder just to hear each other. If they can lower the strength of it, that would be perfect, otherwise, it's just blowing semi-hot air towards you ~ not pleasant. Conclusion: Would I come back? Yes, definitely! The gripes, although several, were minor enough for me to warrant a return. I would like to try other things off the menu if I happen to be near this area and would recommend others to come and try as well. Total score = 4.3 stars read more

Stopped in for breakfast while in the area. Cute decor with yellow & white awnings. Limited menu without substitutions. I ordered their waffle which comes with blueberry compote and asked if instead of the compote I could just have a couple of fresh raspberries. I was told that those were reserved for those who were ordering the chia seed pudding that comes with it even though I would have been more than happy to pay extra. The waffle that arrived was so delicious, it made me forget about wanting any berries. Cooked to perfection and picturesque plus bonus points for Vermont maple syrup. Vanilla almond milk latte also superb. Food is amazing, but just be aware that substitutions are not accepted. read more

I loved this lil spot so much. Wonderfully eclectic and very homey.... Even the patio is comfortable and warm during cold weather.... The service was very attentive and prompt.... I got the eggs benedict and loved every single bite of it even the salad which I found was a little bit strange but it was also delicious and an ice refreshing side.... I got the maple brown sugar latte... It was literally one of the most amazing coffees I've ever had and would so recommend it to anyone who ever came here this is absolutely the first thing you should try. Another restaurant I highly recommend and encourage everyone to go to read more
