Bright cheery spot! Friendly staff who checked in with us frequently. The main attraction is of course the food! Creative and layered flavors can always be enjoyed in their specials. I chose to go with a special-theMexican Corn omelette was extremely delicious! Opt for the biscuit instead of a bread choice! read more

Excellent brunch time food. Very friendly service and tasty options. Accosting with special requests.

Really a nice find in Pottstown. Great service and the food was unique and delicious. Our waitress Jess was wonderful.

I've been going to Shorty's for years and normally I would give them 5 stars but this last visit was a little rough. The food was amazing as always and I'm pleased to see they have started adding some adventurous options to the specials. They used to change their menu frequently so I'm hoping this is a good sign that the menu will continue to evolve. There were two of us and we waited a reasonable 15 minutes to get a table on a busy Sunday morning. Where it went wrong was after we were seated. It took another hour and a half to get our food. The issue was not with our waitress, she was very attentive- I think they had too many people for what the kitchen was able to handle. It's unusual for them since there's not many breakfast options in Pottstown, and they're used to busy weekends. I'm hoping this was a fluke because I really love eating here and it's an institution in this area. I will try again and see what happens! read more

I'm about a week late on this review so excuse me. Anyway my friend and myself decided to go here to catch up. Neither one of us had been here before and we had both been meaning to try it. Once we got in it took us a few moment to get seated. Noting crazy. The atmosphere is nice. It's a warm and cozy atmosphere. Different decor and fresh Daisy's around. Our waitress came over and gave us the specials and asked us if we needed help with the menu and got our drink orders. She was very nice but you could tell she was very busy. My friend decided to order French toast and a scrambler. I ordered a special. I'm sorry I forgot the exact name of it but it was potatoes, eggs and their famous crab dip grill cheese all in one dish. Now after we ordered I will say it took soooo long for us to get our food. I mean we even noticed a couple that had obviously been there before keep getting up asking about where their food was. Not a good sign. Now when we did get our food to me it was worth the wait. Though the wait was disappointing. But Let me tell you my dish was very hearty and filling. It tasted really good. A lot of carbs but hey it was very flavorful. I will say I wish I could have tasted the crab more. My friend said her dish was good but she didn't like the texture of the bacon in the dish was. She said the French toast was great though. I ordered some French toast to go. I would go again and try other things on the menu. read more

This place has potential . However , It has a limited menu and the waiting room is about 25% of the restaurant . The service is pathetically slow even with three cooks. from the moment we came in and left was 95 minutes. So if you have a lot of time this is a place for you. It's breakfast it's not complicated. The potato bomb still came out cold in the middle makes me think they are pre made them heated . I enjoy supporting local business the whole point of going out is to have a good food with stellar service. read more

Been here twice and my only issue is they don't stay open long enough and it gets packed if you don't go super early (which I should just bite that bullet and get up early). But the first time I got an enchilada and the second time just some eggs with veggies and potatoes which were honestly fantastic. Their pancakes always look good but I never tried, yet. I do wish they had eggs Benedict read more

This place used to be a favorite. Glad to see then success. Really. But lately the food isnt what it was. But even that's ok by me. What was irritating is the menu. Everywhere we go politics has invaded. Cant watch a sports event, show, movie, awards, without politics being shoved at us. Cant we just have breakfast and relax without political support being waved in our faces? I dont care what cause you back I just wanted some damned eggs and toast! Please! Just stop. But they wont. Too woke. Wont return. read more

OMG Dirty Eggroll! Out of this world! Can be a little pricey but the food is fresh ingredients for sure!

Been sitting here waiting for our order. It's been half an hour at least since we placed our order and the restaurant is almost empty of people. Giving it five more minutes then we will kindly ask for our coffee check and leave. Incredibly poor service. This was our second time here, was hoping for a difference experience. Food finally arrived. So-Cal wrap was good, French toast was nothing special. read more

Food is good and service is ok. Ambiance is cool and vibrant. The place is very roomy.

Good food, atmosphere, specials menu and accommodating staff. We love that they use local ingredients and local farmers. Last two times we went, the potatoes were undercooked, hopefully that's not a continual trend and the food stays great. read more

This place is perfect for lunch near Pottstown! Loved the chicken salad and zucchini bread.

Franklin teachers love ordering from Sunflower Cafe on our in-service days. We all get our favorites and everything is so good! The food is excellent and so is the service. Thank you for making our day read more

Food is amazing! Wait staff is quick and friendly. Love this place. Unique and delicious dishes. You won't be disappointed.

This was great! It's a wonderful find in a pretty depressed area. Met a friend for breakfast! The restaurant is pretty large. The decor is funky fun! The service was super nice. The food was very interesting for breakfast. And it was excellent and served hot. My friend had the Mexican style eggs in a hole. Topped with salsa and sour cream. I had the Sunny special. Kielbasa and eggs with zucchini bread. The home fries would have been great if crispy and my side of bacon was over cooked. Otherwise It was excellent. I would say it's worth the drive. It was fun. read more

This place never disappoints. Was an absolutely beautiful day to sit outside on their little patio area. I had the Crab dip grilled cheese and wow it was delicious. Not a combo I would have thought of but it was spectacular and I will be getting it again. read more

Good food and happy vibes here. Breakfast here was an awesome way to start the day. Easy parking. Hope to come here again when I pass through town. read more

Fantastic breakfast and lunch options. I love their giant pancakes for breakfast. They're made with good ingredients and are very filling. For lunch, they have a crab dip sandwich which is to die for. It's a phenomenal sandwich that I would 100% recommend if you're getting lunch there. read more

Love this place! Sat outside and enjoyed breakfast. Loved the Zucchini Bread and the whiskey mustard sauce was great. Highly recommended!

My husband and I just had our first visit there. I can not say enough regarding the excellent service and meal we received. The staff was attentive and everything exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend trying The Sunflower cafe. The only down side is if you don't know ahead of time where to turn into the lot or are trying to find the entrance in the dark you most likely will miss it. read more

The place is adorable - the sunflower decor somehow works without being too tacky or sweet. We waited about 20 minutes for a table. I had eggs with turkey bacon, zucchini bread and fried potatoes. Of these four things, three of them were disappointing, The eggs were fine. Somehow they managed to burn parts of the turkey bacon while leaving other parts underdone. My potatoes (the thing I was really looking forward to since I often make bacon and eggs at home but rarely feel like the trouble of making homemade breakfast potatoes) were hard, some were nearly raw. I told the waitress and she quickly whisked me out a new cup of them that were inexplicably doused in oil - she ruefully explained that all the potatoes were from the same batch and these would probably be underdone as well. I suggested she ask the cook to throw them on the griddle for a couple of minutes and fry them a bit, they were small chunks and would cook quickly? She said this wasn't an option because that is not how you cook potatoes. Umm...ok. It's how I cook breakfast potatoes and they are delicious. Also I had wanted biscuits and they were out so on her strong recommendation I tried the zucchini bread - I expected a dark spicy kind of bread but this was pretty generic and sweet, not in a good way. Hubby had some kind of breakfast enchilada that was on special and he really enjoyed it. He also tried a pancake and that was ok, a bit too dense and heavy but not terrible. They did not have real maple syrup. Our server was very attentive, she kept the coffee coming. Other dishes we saw coming out of the kitchen looked really fresh and good. So maybe I just picked the wrong thing that day. read more

great food, really fun options that you would never think of that taste great. i always get the new green deal with a side of maple siracha and not once has it disappointed me nor have i gotten bored of it. 100% recommend read more

Ignorant server, 30 min wait time, meal was ok.

Love getting breakfast here. Had the New Green Deal today and it was amazing! Open faced omelet, quinoa, potatoes, greens, avocado cream - so delicious! And they now have Everything Biscuits - wow. YUM! Creative menu with basic staples as well. There can be quite a wait, so come early or late! read more

First time here and it was delicious! Staff was friendly. Quiet atmosphere. We had a great experience.

Hands down our favorite place for breakfast and lunch. My fiancee and I frequent the Sunflower often. Always great food, friendly faces and great prices. Very quaint atmosphere makes us feel like we're on a date everytime we go there. We love this place so much we are getting married and holding our reception there! read more

So much great food for a great place. Can't wait to come back again. I had the animal, Greta with the house mad hot sauce. The homemade jelly was delicious. read more

There's almost always a wait to sit and usually just as long of a wait until you get your meal but, when you finally dig in and enjoy the delicious concoctions that George comes up with, the wait seems meaningless. Don't ever pass up the zucchini bread...it's scrumptious!! Unless you really love to wait, don't even think about arriving after 10:00 AM on a Sunday or you'll be standing around with church-goers forever! read more

Disclaimer: this is good brunch for the area they are in... Unfortunately I've lived in Philadelphia so it's tough to love this place It's located off a small road hidden behind a shopping center. This place has a very eclectic, laid back vibe to it. I Only had to wait 10 mins to be seated :) Chocolate chip pancakes: simple, basic fluffy pancakes, nothing fancy. Super dry that I needed extra butter and used half the maple syrup bottle. The crab dip grilled cheese: served with tortilla chips and it tasted more like a cream cheese spinach dip with a slight hint of crab. At least it was grilled well. Zucchini bread: this place is known for their zucchini bread. Unfortunately mine was dry and tasted no different than normal bread. I tried to add butter for moisture... But I could only make it through half a piece before it was deemed hopeless. Overall good service, cool atmosphere, okay food. read more

I've been twice and I like it. The menu has some creative, unique choices. The food is yummy! The staff is very friendly and helpful. I love the blue sliding doors, but I wouldn't eat them. read more

Haven't been here in a while but always a great breakfast stop when in the area. My favorite thing is the "biscuit bread" that you can get instead of toast. It is hard to find places that offer biscuits in the North and this place gives two thick slices so good. read more

Great place for a meet up! My best friend and I met here for a late breakfast here. The atmosphere is very bright and inviting. The outdoor seating is great, as well as all the room inside too. I ordered the specialty breakfast burrito with zucchini, equinox cheese, and eggs. It was a little bland, I admit, but well prepared with fresh veggies, cheese, and eggs. My friend had the ham & cheese which was served on Zucchini bread with tortilla chips. I HAD to have a bite and it was just as delicious as it looked! Great service, would highly recommend! I'll be back to try the pancakes next time! read more

Rude server, felt rushed. Small portions. Extremely long wait. Better options in town. Would not recommend going here.

This is my favourite place to go and get breakfast during the weekends. If I am giving it only 4 stars is only because i don't like to wait... ha ha ha. The plates are very good, fresh and well prepared. My favourite are the "Whole Wheat Pancakes" and my wife usually orders the "omelet special". I add a side order of home fries and I finish with a good smile. The service is ok, nothing formal... there is a bunch of high school girls. Sometimes they don't pay too much attention but in general i don't have complains. The food takes long to come because everything is prepare fresh and as I mentioned above... there is a lot of people for brunch. If you are in the area and you want a classic and cozy american breakfast... this is your place. read more

One of the best restaurants ever for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Beautiful place, excellent food and service. Has a real fifties diner feel.

Looked up this cafe online for breakfast. Menu was tempting and reviews were good too. So me and my husband stopped at this cafe in the morning for breakfast couple of days ago. The cafe was packed and we had to wait for sometime. Even after we were seated, there was some waiting time till the waitress took our order. We ordered Orange Juice, Sunflower Omlet and Spring Yum. The food was so scrumptious that it was worth the wait. We would definitely return here. read more

I really miss this place! I moved to California in 2016, but was able to visit prior to the pandemic. When I lived in Pottstown, I used to come on the weekends to have coffee and their breakfast enchiladas. I so miss the enchiladas!!! Looking at their menu now, it seems as if they don't offer the enchiladas anymore which is disappointing since it was a hearty and healthy option. They also have homemade zucchini bread and yummy bacon! The service was always great as well. Even if they don't have the enchiladas anymore I still recommend this place! ;-) read more

Great food for the most part and staff. Only two vegan options one is called rabbit food which is offensive and if i was a rabbit, spinach would be a much better alternative (more nutritious) read more
