Don't Walk, Run to Sun! SUNFLOWER Breakfast, Lunch & Bakery (right off Wade Hampton Blvd) This was our second stop of the day, and it sealed the deal, we've officially added SUNFLOWER Breakfast, Lunch & Bakery to our bi-weekly lunch dates. Hubby went with the sausage and egg sandwich, layered with caramelized onions and aioli on a perfectly grilled brioche bun, added with crispy fried potatoes. I could tell by his smile and patting of the foot that it was comforting, hearty, and executed just right I indulged in the chicken pesto, rich with pesto sauce and paired with seasoned fries, which were golden, flavorful, and satisfying without being heavy. Of course, I couldn't skip the coffee. I ordered a cappuccino, and the brown sugar cinnamon really popped, pulling the depth of the roasted brew straight through. Warm, balanced, and cozy in all the right ways. From breads to pastries, everything here is made from scratch, and you can taste the love folded into every bite. Nothing feels rushed or mass-produced, just thoughtful food, made with care. And let's talk atmosphere. SUNFLOWER feels like home. Settled, Welcoming as Friendly drop-ins come and go with ease. The owner's presence adds to the experience without ever announcing itself, no "Hey, I own this place" energy. Just a calm, grounding presence... like a tree gently swaying with the breeze. Don't walk, run to SUNFLOWER. You'll leave full, grounded, and already planning your next visit. read more

Delicious breakfast sandwiches and burritos! The S.E.C. is classic, but the caramelized onions make it even better! The breakfast burrito is also a delicious classic. Perfect for a quick grab and go meal or to dine in. read more

I have always passed this place and decided to check them out over the weekend. It was an absolutely packed! Note, be sure to go early on a Saturday. I was told that I had to try their cinnamon rolls. When I arrived I saw they also had a special pecan pie cinnamon roll -- I mean, c'mon! Unfortunately, they had just fold the last two to the person right before me. A little disappointed. I was not going to leave there empty handed. I decided to get the blueberry muffin. Undoubtedly, the best blueberry muffin I have had. It was perfectly moist, fresh tasting and not overly sweet. While I was disappointed I couldn't get the cinnamon roll, I think any thing is a safe bet here. I'll definitely be back. read more

Me and my girlfriend got the Turkey Bacon Ranch sandwich to share because we figured we would try something new while visiting. I can say that this sandwich alone might make me consider moving. Man, probably the best and juiciest sandwich I've ever had. Definitely recommend to anyone who hasn't tried this before!! read more

Friends brunch was very good. We ordered hot coffee, yes, hot coffee, lol, I just gave away our ages and paired it with yummy sandwiches. The service was great too! read more

This is a really fun spot to go to for breakfast or lunch. They had plenty of parking in the back, which was nice. I ordered the turkey and avocado sandwich with fries and my friend ordered the breakfast burrito and we were both happy with what we got. I asked for a side of ranch with my fries and the ranch was absolutely delicious. I would definitely come back and I would love to try something else to see what else they have on the menu! read more

We found Sunflower after moving to the neighborhood last year, and have been fans ever since. The food at Sunflower is excellent, the service is efficient and friendly, and the ambiance is inviting. The place is almost always packed with customers dining in for a late breakfast, and the laptop crowd, working with a coffee. The people at Sunflower care about their product and providing a great experience to patrons, and they go above and beyond to show it: Recently, I've been picking up breakfast and lunch more often - my wife and I have a newborn, and Sunflower's breakfast sandwiches have been highly requested in our house. I casually dropped this detail while ordering this week, and was surprised with two chocolate chip cookies and a congratulatory note in our order. This was a total surprise, and the sweet treat was appreciated by two, sleep-deprived parents. Definitely give Sunflower a try. This place is one of our favorites in Greenville! read more

Visited Sunflower Cafe today with the hubs. Parking lot was noticeably missing marked handicapped parking, but there were close/ramped spots available. This is a counter-order shop / bus your own table restaurant. They offer a lovely variety of pastries to choose from. Plenty of "fancy" coffee variations, though I ordered regular coffee. It was good. Seating in the restaurant is either wooden benches or metal chairs. This seems to be the trendy thing, but is not necessarily the most comfortable seating. That being said, the decor is simple and tasteful. We had breakfast, and both chose the Southern breakfast. Our breakfast was accurate and came out quickly. Both ordered our eggs scrambled, one with bacon and one with sausage. The eggs were good, but very well done. I happen to like them that way, so it's all good! Sausage and bacon were both good--especially the bacon which was a thick cut and the portion plentiful. What stole the show, though, was the Adluh Mills grits. Smooth, buttery, creamy, and served hot in a bowl. Delicious! That means a log coming from this picky Southern gal! Ciabatta toast comes with the Southern breakfast, which is a very pleasant change from the usual fare at other places. I suspect that once word gets out, this will be a popular spot! read more

Food was good but the noise level is unbearable. A week after visiting, I don't remember what I ate-just that it was too loud to enjoy.

Gouda Burger not to be confused with "The Good Burger" from Arby's I saw this burger on my Facebook feed and was like..... the koolaid man! Oh yeahhhhhhhh sweet and savory is my FAV combination. They had me at housemade bacon jam. It was a big big burger! I couldn't finish it all but it was delicious for sure. I also heard the pastries are amazing so I had to pick up a couple. I grabbed the Cinnamon bun which was HUGE as you can see. I took a small bite but it needs to be warmed up for me to decide if I love it. I also picked up the apple cake with maple frosting. THIS THANG MADE THE WHOLE TRIP WORTH IT. Moist (sorry if this triggered you), not overly sweet, chunk of apples and yumminess. I would come back literally just for this cake alone. I'm excited to go back and try some of the breakfast menu items soon. Oh and I almost forgot, the service was great for pickup! They are very friendly. read more

I was craving a sandwich and soup and found Sunflower with a quick Yelp search. The ambiance is very dull, almost feels like you're eating at a fast food joint. The service was excellent, the lady who took our order was super friendly. I got the chicken salad sandwich and tomato soup. I thought the soup was pretty good, but the sandwich was pretty terrible. Chicken salad had almost no flavor and the bread as you can see in the picture was rubbery and burnt. My mom got a breakfast sandwich, she said it was ok but nothing special. She also ordered without tomatoes because of her heartburn and it came with them on it, not a big deal but a lack of attention to detail. Expected more out of this place with the previous reviews, maybe we hit it on an off day but would not recommend from this experience. read more

We stopped in on a road trip down to Atlanta. Life is too short to eat bad food so I had done my homework beforehand and this place was on our radar. Service was excellent, the food was delicious, and such a cute little sandwich shop! Upfitted and tidy location. Good work! read more

Tasty breakfast spot. I got the S.E.C. sandwich, which was greasy, flavorful, and hot! The bun was definitely fresh which elevated it to another level. Only complaint was that the sausage patty was a bit small. The coffee was good as well read more

My wife and I tried Sunflower while on vacation in Greenville. Having grown up in Greenville, I knew that the building had been one the first Pizza Huts in Greenville from the early 1970s, then a succession of other restaurants and bars over the last 25 years. So it was great to see another restaurant opening in the same building which I had many pleasant memories from eating pizza in the 70s. We both had the Bacon Egg & Cheese on a homemade Ciabbotta Roll and Cheese Grits. The sandwiches were delicious and bacon and eggs were cooked perfectly. The Ciabbotta Roll was baked on site and was perfectly suited to go with the breakfast sandwich. It would be great with a hamburger or a Italian coldcut sandwich. The Cheese Grits were very creamy and tasty, though they could have been better with a little less salt. This is why only complaint witah the grits. My wife had coffee to drink and I had a Latte. The Latte was outstanding, much better than several of the coffee chains that have cropped up across Columbia in recent years. Not only was the Latte delicious but it was was prepared by a talented Barrista who knew how to present to drink with the picture of a flower. The decision to try Sunflower was guided by the Yelp Top Breakfast List in Greenville. The list did not mislead: Sunflower is top spot to eat breakfast in Greenville! read more

I only had a muffin, but it was awesome! All of their pastries looked amazing. Cool little spot for me to have great coffee and a business meeting g. I thought the service was a little "unfriendly" for my taste. I like to feel like I am appreciated for choosing your restaurant, and I did not get that feeling. Now, the service wasn't horrible, just not as friendly as I like. I will definitely go back for the muffins though! read more

Terrific for breakfast, and their hot dog buns are AMAZING!! Not a good place for low carb diets.

This place is hidden gem!! Great food and service. Wonderful breakfast and lunch selection and lots of gluten free or vegan choices too, as well as normal. Food is homemade and delicious!! Don't miss out on this place. read more

I ordered the Southern Breakfast and was EXTREMELY disappointed. The eggs were cold and rubbery and the bacon was cold and burnt. Asked the server if that was normal and he said that is the way they do it. On a positive note, the blueberry muffin was AMAZING!!! I wish that was all I ordered. I will return but only for baked goods. read more

Great breakfast and lunch spot! My breakfast was so good I came back a second time in the weekend to get lunch. For breakfast I got the SEC sandwich and added a side of potatoes. They were delicious and a good portion and quality for the price. The front counter staff were so friendly and helpful. For lunch I got the Italian sandwich and my friend got the Turkey Bacon Ranch, both with a side of fries. We enjoyed them and again, great portion and quality for the price. The Italian was a fresh and unique-seeming take on the classic. I really enjoyed the vibe and decor inside. Unique design, a lot of natural light, and good background music playing. Looking forward to returning and bringing others to enjoy it as well! read more

S.E.C. and B.E.C. are divine!! So flavorful and such a great breakfast treat. Definitely making this a regular spot.

Great quality burgers on par with Grill Marks and Up On the Roof. Excellent service and a nice "updated diner" aesthetic. Good coffee options as well. read more

I got the turkey bacon ranch (with no ranch) and fries. The fries were really good! The bread for the sandwich was really good. My sister enjoyed her breakfast sandwich. The vibes were cute and they played nice music. The parking lot is a little small but otherwise great visit! read more

Wonderful breakfast spot. The coffee cake is screaming homemade. Tasty. Coffee, not burnt tasting like chains. Looking forward to going back for lunch some day. read more

I was so excited to learn that a breakfast & lunch restaurant was opening on Wade Hampton Blvd, and Sunflower did not disappoint. It's been a favorite since the first meal and a go to for lunch and Saturday breakfast. My go to is the Broccolini sandwich (I'd recommend a side of aioli if you order the fries) but I've also tried the specials and other daily items. If you are there for breakfast, I'd recommend the SEC or any of the breakfast sandwiches. read more

The food is outstanding, but I have to subtract one star for the unbearable noise in the place. It was crowded and with brick walls and concrete floors it is deafening. I used an app on my phone to measure db levels and the average level was 89 db with peaks as high as 93 db. Prolonged exposure at these sound levels could damage your hearing. They really need to do some acoustic treatment to dampen the sound. read more

Excellent food (I had the Lebanese chicken wrap special and chicken soup on the side for a small upcharge; the wife had the BLAT sandwich). Good service. Clean restaurant. Terrible acoustics. The parking situation isn't great. read more

Stopped in for a cinnamon roll.. OH MY GOODNESS!! It was absolutely fantastic!! Service was great, didn't have to wait very long and the place was fixed up nice. Loved the ambiance! read more

My wife and I had a free morning for breakfast and decided to try Sunflower. I had the grits bowls with cheese, sausage, pickled serrano peppers, and egg. The flavor combinations were perfect and the size filled me. The peppers were warm but did not overpower the meal. My wife had the potatoe bowl with avocado aioli, eggs, sausage, and cheese. She said the aioli was needed otherwise it would have been dry. A good experience. read more

Always good, every time! The grits bowls are out of this world. Can't wait to try their burgers. The team is so nice and the environment is so friendly. read more

The food here is great! The service is good too. Sometimes it's a little slow because it's a small place and they get really busy. The food is fresh, cooked to order and so very tasty. Will definitely be back. read more

Saw this mentioned somewhere on the intrerweb as a new entry into the Greenvile breakfast scene and thought we would give it a try. Wow! Just Wow! The location has been used from everything from pizza to high end experimental gastronomic fare (remember that one?). These folks have a fresh, squeaky clean, bright restaurant that might surprise you given the location. Service is friendly and quick. Portions are generous. The taste is top drawer. We got the SEC and the AEC - you can check out the ingredients on their web site, but suffice it to say that the quality of the ingredients was top notch and it showed. We also split a cinnamon roll that was huge and delicious. Not too sweet and very cinnamon'y. Price was reasonable- higher than fast food as you would expect, but well worth it. We will be back soon. Give it a shot - I don't think you will be disappointed. read more

My sandwich was delicious and the fries more than I can eat. suggestion: add some sunflower pictures and sell some sunflower products. read more

Sandwiches are sooo good this is a goated lunch spot. the fries are top tier I didn't even need ketchup with them. Water was crispy and the service was super fast. I'll be coming here every week read more

While traveling in the area, I had high expectations for this spot. The food, when it arrived, merited 4 stars, but the wait was nearly an hour for a turkey sandwich and a BLT with fries, far exceeding the 20 to 25 minutes we were initially told. The price also felt steep at $47 for two people at a lunch cafe, but I should've tipped at the end vs. beginning. read more

The menu looks great. Had a breakfast sandwich that would have been good, but the bread was too charred and that flavor overtook everything else. Maybe the oil tasted bad, too. The cinnamon roll was hard as a rock and it was morning time. I would go back thinking maybe if was just a bad day. read more
