    Non cluttered hallway by the bathroom

    Just had a delish breakfast of avocado toast. One piece had scrambled egg and bacon, the other had fresh berries and feta cheese. Plus there was a side of kale salad with sweet potatoes. I didn't take a picture of the breakfast because I was so hungry I just dug in!! The host was very helpful without being hovering! On my way out I went to the restroom. I'd remembered seeing a post about the hallway being cluttered with things! Well, it does have two chairs but that's it. It is not cluttered and the chairs could be used for people waiting to use the restroom. The restroom itself was clean and decorated nicely.

    This is a tiny place tucked behind a gas station but HUGE in flavor! We were on a road trip passing thru Amarillo and wanted a good breakfast before continuing the trek. Girasol popped up on Yelp and we headed there. Amazing surprise: we had the eggs Benedict and they're so tasty! Juice, coffee, and tea are refillable. Women-run! Would definitely return if in the area again. Nice!

    The best cinnamon roll on the planet!

    As an award-winning restaurant owner, and I never say that, but it matters here... this is our favorite restaurant in town. We tell everyone about Girasol! The cinnamon rolls are the best anywhere, and the breakfast is amazing. It's special! In a world of food service powdered gravy, and frozen biscuits, this place is such an oasis of flavor. Anytime we are in town we plan the trip around breakfast at Girasol. We tell others about it anytime there is an Amarillo connection. When out to eat last night at a different restaurant we told people about our breakfast plans this morning! The biscuits and gravy with BOTH the jalapeño bacon and the house-made spicy sausage are my personal favorites. If you have not been here, get here. It's really a breath of fresh air to have real food prepared in-house, with recipes that are delicious!

    Delicious food! We enjoyed a slice of the quiche and a smothered burrito, everything was excellent and service was phenomenal. Will come back to this spot next time we are in Amarillo for some more delicious pastries. We grabbed a lemon bar to take with us and it was very tasty.

    Very cute cafe! Very friendly. The French toast was very good and not too sweet! The burrito was good portion and spicy. Coffee was good. Would come back.

    Happen to be in Texas for the week and I am huge on breakfast. Had to find a spot that was both vegan friendly and for a carnivore like myself. Looked up this spot and decided to pop in and what a charming place it is! We perused the baked goods being offered for the day as well as the breakfast menu. I ended up getting the two-egg breakfast with the homemade sausage, house potatoes, and a small side of the Greek yogurt with fresh fruit. All were incredibly delicious. My eggs were the exact perfect version of over easy, the potatoes were crispy and salted perfectly and the homemade sausage patty had the slightest hint of spice that brought it all together. The greek yogurt was divine and fruits crispy. To top it off, they make their own homemade strawberry jam! Talk about impressed! The food was so good we decided to return for breakfast again with another one of our colleagues who ordered the French toast - she said it was absolutely delicious although it's had bit sweet. The owner of the spot, Steve, came over to our table and chatted with us twice and made sure to welcome us back on our return visit. His personal interaction, smile and laughter along with the music, and overall good vibes that wafted from the kitchen tells me this is such a chill place to work at. I Next time Im back in Amarillo again, this is a spot you can definitely catch me at!

    Outstanding food at this off the beaten path spot. Absolutely the best iced tea I've ever had - watermelon tea! Santa Fe eggs benedict on a fluffy fresh jalepeno infused biscuit. Eggs perfectly poached - not too soft, not too hard. A couple of slices of jalapeño and maple candied bacon and a light, creamy tangy hollandaise sauce. Non-traditional but outstanding. Baked goods look special as well. Took a blueberry scone for the road, but never made it out the door. Moist and sweet on the inside, crunchy on the outside and overflowing with bug sweet blueberries. Yes!

    I walked in at 1130 am as you can see my fiance is still eating I had to eat without her. It took 1 full hour just to get eggs and a biscuit with bacon... I've gotten faster service at ihop. No one bothered to check how long it had been that we had no food was offered a cinnamon roll as condolence for the long wait but ONLY after I verbally complained for why it took so long food was good but lacked enough meat in her meal was one square of brisket. It appears to me they just don't have the ability to keep up with orders things are very clean though manager apologized she was nice. I just saw a lot of waitress's joking around and not really attentive to folks seems to me the chef is probably a the only one successfully doing their job sadly no one I managing the order in which meals or ordered tables should get good Atleast at the same time bare minimum. From my perspective we were the only table that waited an hour. I feel like also my portion was pretty small so maybe improve that... would I come here again probably not unless they remember me and offer faster service ? I think this is more of a pastry place?

    Excellent breakfast special of bacon date scone topped with ham, asparagus and eggs Benedict.

    Almond croissant

    O our cross country road trip we had a stop in Amarillo Texas. What a lovely town, people were friendly and when we passed the Barnes and Noble the parking lot was packed. How great that people still read books and dont always rely on their computer! But let's get to the food at this place. Located In the very back of a strip center is the charming Girasol Cafe and Bakery. When we walked in there were only two tables available out of about 20, but they also have a nice size outdoor area. Wish i had taken photos, but it's a little country chic meets 60's chic. You order and take a table and get served. Again, i wish i had taken photos but there is one of the front of the place and a partially eaten almond croissant. I was craving a biscuit and wasn't disappointed. Home made golden brown with cheddar cheese and jalapeño. Served with a country gravy. My hubby got scrambled eggs and the almond croissant and we both got just regular black coffee. But it was anything but regular! It was kinda like cafe de olla flavoring but just black coffee. I am drinking it now, as i write this review, back on the road again! The food was unbelievable, the service was kind and wonderful, the coffee was incredible and the folks who eat there are so nice also. I loved everything. And Folks in Amarillo are so nice

    We stopped a couple of years ago and they had a bourbon lemonade on tap. Does anyone know what it was called? Did it have blackberry in it?

I do t want to embellish or over do it... but I'm not kidding when I say these may be the best 2 d@@n cupcakes I have ever had!!! They explode with flavor in your mouth. The strawberry was vivid, the sweet but not overly sweet, the cake and the cream were extremely creamy and moist! The Snickers cupcakes.... Jesus took the wheel on this one, lol. It's insanely good. Little sweeter than the Strawberry but so tasty! The frosting again was perfect in consistency. The flavor of caramel, Snickers, and I think a little peanut butter absolutely lights up your taste buds!!!! If you are in Amarillo...heck Texas hah....you need to make a pitstop here and try these cupcakes. It is so clear why they won Cup Cake Wars. Absolutely fantastic....and the best part, they kept their prices reasonable at $2.85!!!!!

    Out of towner visiting close friends and I talked about how hard it was to come by blackberry pie,…read moreeven though they grow all over Texas. We were actually on our way to the Spirit Halloween store on Bell and she pointed out Belmar Bakery, see if they had anything I wanted. Wouldn't you know the first thing I saw when I came in was a baker's rack of ready-to-go pies, and they had one blackberry pie left! Snatched it like I was the first customer at a Black Friday sale. Understand, where I'm from, a lot of restaurants have pie by the slice, so I was taking a big leap of faith on a pie I may not like. I'm happy to say I wasn't disappointed!! The crust was solid, slightly buttery and smooth without the soggy bottom you usually get from fruit fillings. Disclaimer: if you get blackberry pie, you also get blackberry seeds in the filling. And I didn't mind! The filling was enough to balance out the crust, creamy--not watery--and tart like it should be (so many bakeries add tons of sugar to get rid of the natural tartness). AND it held up over the course of a few days rather than begin the slow crumbling and mushiness like a lot of fruit filling pies. I enjoyed it so much I bought another one the morning I left to come back home, I don't know much about the rest of the baked goods there (my 4 stars instead of 5) but I wouldn't hesitate to go back and get another ready-to-go pie of any kind if they're as tasty and well made as my blackberry goodness. I have no pictures because I ate it all. :)

The baker did claim it was baked on same day of pick up, but it does not taste as if it were. I did call to report the disappointment in the product and the manager was not disrespectful but well mannered. Just hoped it would have been a better experience.

They were both wonderful. I'm usually not too impressed with most cakes and cupcakes from any place that isn't home made and these were absolutely wonderful. The buttercream frosting was spot-on, creamy and delicious, just the right amount of sweetness. The girl even told me their frosting wasn't overly sweet and I see why she mentioned that. It was a perfect match with the rich moist chocolate cake. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was that the case that used to have cinnamon rolls was missing. I mentioned it to the girl because I remembered how good their cinnamon rolls were. She said they didn't sell cinnamon rolls anymore which was disappointing. She mentioned a new owner took over last October. Whoever she is she's doing it right, cinnamon rolls are not. I can get those at Kind House Bakery or Girasol Bakery.

They were good cookies, but not incredibly memorable. Regardless, would definitely recommend and return!
