    Chicken Pesto with fry combo
    LaToshia W.

    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.

    Blueberry muffin - 11 out of 10
    Brynt L.

    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.

    Turkey bacon avocado sandwich
    Lori L.

    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!

    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!

    Southern breakfast with sausage
    Debbie M.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Chicken salad sandwich and tomato soup
    Christine A.

    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.

    S.E.C Sandwich
    Schyler D.

    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

    Cheese Grits
    Stewart J.

    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!

    breakfast burrito was the best I've had in the area, vibe is good, they could probably benefit with some more staff!

    Back - Turkey Bacon Ranch Front - Italian Both and the fries delicious

    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!

    Cuisine: 7 Service: 8…read moreDecor: 8 Value: 7 Overall: 8 Biscuits! Biscuits! And more biscuits! I wish we had a good southern biscuit shop in NYC. Rather it's savory or sweet, this place has your biscuit desires covered. I have been here four times and always left happy. Their biscuits are crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Only complaint is that they are slightly dry. Probably just need a bit more butter right? Lol. Though the biscuits are not the best I have had, the overall experience is very good. Though no longer on the menu, you can still order the Biscuit w/ Gravy Flight, which is one of my favorite things here. They're all pretty delicious, but that sausage gravy really enhances the biscuit since it takes away some of that dryness. Of the sandwiches, I love the Fried Bologna Benedict the most. My least favorite is the extra salty Country Ham Biscuit. The Mimosa Fried Chicken Sandwich is not bad either, but order it without that sweet sauce on top. And if you like simple, just get a biscuit with some sausage and eggs. Don't forget, they have a whole jams and spreads station. Make sure to take advantage of that for a sweet finish. I personally enjoy the Peach Rosemary, Strawberry, and Sweet Potato Chai. Btw, extremely sweet and kind service. I had a cappuccino that was a bit too light. I offered to pay for an extra espresso shot. Instead of charging me, the server sent me back with a brand new cup of cappuccino with the extra shot. Then she stopped by to ask if it was made properly three minutes later. Every time I have been to Greenville, I have made a pitstop here. This factory of biscuits may not be the best around, but I just appreciate the atmosphere and friendly service. By no means am I saying their biscuits are not good because I would be extremely ecstatic if we had something similar in NYC.

North St. based on the 4.5 Yelp rating. What's going on here? Are these reviews being artificially boosted?

The chicken was a had an odd mushy/spongy texture -- a couple of tenders unceremoniously dropped on the plate and nothing like in any of the marketing photos -- and the gravy was not very flavorful at all. Someone else in my party got the chicken and waffles -- their chicken was better than mine, but still completely unimpressive. I also have to say, unfortunately, that the staff is not on their game. We had communication problems with the person taking our order, and the self-bussing area was overflowing with dirty forks and plates. This is a corporate slop establishment, and Greenville has at least a dozen breakfast spots, especially locally-owned ones, that are miles better than this. I regret not looking a bit harder for a better local spot.
