    Strawberry danish with cream cheese and honey cake
    Lea G.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place has a very unique and welcoming atmosphere![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will definitely be coming back to try their lunch foods! My boyfriend got an iced white chocolate mocha and it was absolutely delicious![[HIGHLIGHT]]Super cute :)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Blueberry turnovers
    Linda H.

    The sunflower is amazing! I had the avocado toast. I was extremely impressed. The portion was a good size. I was able to slit it with my husband. It was fresh and the bread was sour dough. The flavors were amazing. We had coffee and I can say it was truly delicious coffee. I had cappuccino and my husband had Americano. We both love good coffee and the sunflower delivered very good coffee. The service was very good. We didn't have to wait long. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was so inviting the soft music was so relaxing it made me want to linger and not hurry.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was tastefully decorated and relaxing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I am looking forward to going back. Thank you sunflower Bakery and cafe for making our experience special.

    Breakfast croissant
    Denielle B.

    Hubby and I tried out this place and we really liked it! Tried the chicken and pork pelmeni, breakfast croissant, blueberry muffin, kiev cake, and mocha. Food and coffee were pretty good, kiev cake is a little sweeter than I'd like. We'll come back to try other things!

    Chicken croissant sandwich

    Delicious sandwiches and cakes. We will go back soon to try their pierogies. Great service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have nice tables inside and outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Chicken Pesto Sandwich
    Leah M.

    Such an adorable little spot tucked away near the Winco and DMV in Meridian. Even better, super clean and friendly service from the counter to the delivering of food. One gal from the Ukraine, the gal serving our food is from Russia and she joked the other gal from Poland and it's "very international" here. Then the food! The whole thing about eating with your eyes first, applies here! Our order arrived quickly on quaint wooden plates and the food looked fresh and tasted accordingly with a good amount of pesto and melted cheese on the Chicken Pesto sandwich. My lunch mate loved the Chicken Croissant Sandwich with just the right amount of garlic aoli and avocado... and the croissant was very flaky. Just wanting to support such a good place, we tried the Napoleon that truly melted in our mouths. Excited to try the Borsch, Pelmeni and Pierogies! Will be back!

    Nutella strawberry banana crepe

    First of all, the name brought me in the door! I love sunflowers! I thought I would grab a pastry and leave, but their simple menu begged me to stay! My daughters and I ordered a Nutella, strawberry, banana crepe to share. We weren't actually very hungry, it was late afternoon before dinner. We devoured it. It was absolutely delicious. The coffee/tea selection was great. Because we stayed, the drinks were served in mugs, which felt very classy. I will definitely be returning to this quaint little cafe.

    Breve (sip taken haha) and feta croissant

    If I could rate it 10 stars I would! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is warm and cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff is friendly and helpful and you can tell they take great pride in their work of serving you. It's my go-to place which is halfway between Boise and Nampa where I can meet up with friends. I go at least once a week. Oh and did I mention the coffee, food and pastries are delicious?

    Salmon toast

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fresh food, good atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Good for breakfast and lunch. Very nice stuff [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were passing by from California. It was nice family stop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    We visited on a brisk fall Saturday morning.  This little place is tucked into the back of a strip mall. Since it was early and a bit cooler, it was cool in the restaurant; especially with the frequent opening of the door. This is a counter service restaurant with the very kind and helpful staff bringing your food and drink. I ordered the salmon toast, an espresso and almond croissant. There is a serious lack of lox & bagels in the TV, and this salmon toast did not disappoint.  The bread was not toasted but was homemade and hearty.  The cream cheese spread was lighter than most which I loved.  The smoked salmon was delicious but not overly salty. I loved the addition of arugula and pickled onions along with briny capers and fresh tomatoes to complete this dish. The presentation was beautiful, and a hard-boiled egg was served alongside.  My espresso was perfectly balanced.  All the pastries looked delicious, and there was a steady stream of customers taking out pastries.  I tried the almond croissant, which was plenty flaky with a delicious natural tasting almond filling. The croissant itself was crunchy and light and didn't taste greasy.  The staff were wonderful and checked on us and asked how we liked it.  I thought the pricing was more than fair. You can tell all food is made with love and is their passion.  We will be back to try more things.  I would love to buy a loaf of bread and a bag of their homemade pelmeni (russian dumplings). Wonderful addition for breakfast or light lunch.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Super cute bakery.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered a Breve, strawberry banana smoothie, mixed berry crepe and chicken pesto sandwich. So Yummy. Food is made to order so don't go if you are in a rush. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cafe has great vibes and has indoor and outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend!

    OH. MY. GOODNESS. I'm still dreaming about the food at Sunflower Bakery and Cafe! Every single bite was heavenly -- rich, fresh, bursting with flavor. You know that moment when you take a bite and your eyes just close from pure joy? That was us. Over and over again. Everything was so beautifully presented, we were in awe before we even started eating -- and then it just kept getting better. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is sparkling clean and filled with cozy charm.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But what makes it unforgettable is the people. The staff were unbelievably kind, warm, and truly attentive. You feel seen, welcomed, and cared for. We brought flowers for our friend's birthday -- didn't say a word to anyone -- and they noticed, brought a vase without us asking, and later surprised us with a sweet dessert and a heartfelt "Happy Birthday" sung by the servers. We were floored. It felt like a warm hug for the whole table. This place isn't just a cafe -- it's a celebration of joy, flavor, and kindness. Can't wait to come back. Again. And again. And again.

Owner/operator Katie Fokias Wheeler was born in North East England, where she lived until marrying an American soldier from Weiser, Idaho. Today, Katie and her family live in Kuna. She named her business after a historical home she and her husband visited on their honeymoon. Katie sells her baked goods and preserves at local farmer's markets, as well as event/bazaar booths. She also takes custom orders of just about anything British, including savory items. To find and/or contact Katie, join her private Facebook page, or you can call her. I have included a photo that is a screenshot of her Facebook page. I visited Katie at the Meridian farmers market, which she frequents. KM and I bought a variety of items. Some of our favorites were the Cherry Bakewell Tarts, Jam & Coconut Sponge cake, Scones, and Shortbread. We also enjoyed getting to try the "Royal Wedding" Elderflower Sponge cake. If you recall, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had a Lemon-Elderflower cake with raspberry filling for their wedding cake. I can't say enough good things about this unique business. Whether you're planning a tea party, want to surprise your favorite Anglophile, or just want to purchase some delicious treats for you and your family, Cragside Downs has exactly what you are looking for. Highly Recommended!!!

So, I stopped in today to grab a sweet treat for her friends. I checked out the variety of goodies today and they were quite a few. I didn't realize how much they truly had! I'm so used to grabbing bagels and donuts that I haven't really seen all their other options of goods. The beautiful sugar cookies caught my eye. I adore the delicate flowers that are printed on the cookie. I would have loved all my cookies too have had that floral print. I grab the only 4 they had and grabbed a couple extra cuties that they that were available. My mother in law's friends loved the cookies. They were full from lunch and decided to take their treats home. I'm sure they loved their cookies. They were excited to pick out their favorite one. The gal that helped me today was super sweet.

I remember this joint towards the other end of Fairview so it was nice to run into it today. I never got a chance to stop into their last location so I took today as a sign to grab some treats. I walked in and sawthe beautiful display of goodies. I'm a visual eater so seeing all my options front and center is fantastic! They all looked like gems. Trying to pick a few cookies out of all their options was going to be a tough one. If I had my way, I would have gotten one of every kind. There were two gals that were helping a guest. I let them handle that transaction while I was looking over the display case. She was asking a bunch of questions so it was taking a bit for them to help her. I honestly thought that at least one of them would have greeted me. It's not the best feeling just standing there feeling invisible. I don't think two people need to ring up one guest. So, I just stood there. Finally a sweet gal that was in the baking area greeted me. She was really kind and knew that I was not being helped. She stepped up to the plate and got me taken care of. I finally narrowed my 4 cookies down to a chocolate chip, lemon sugar, pb Nutella and a cookies and cream. You gotta have a classic chocolate, it sets the standard for your shop. Lemon sounds refreshing for the hot day today. PB and Nutella is a winning combo. And you can never go wrong with Oreos on top of a soft cookie with frosting. I started with the PB and Nutella cookie. I had no restraint and ate that whole thing while driving to my grandma's place. She lives about 4 minutes away. It was so good! The cookie was very peanut butter forward. The Nutella frosting was the perfect compliment to the cookie. My grandma got the lemon cookie. I did steal a bite or two. I'm so happy I chose that cookie. The cookie was sweet and the frosting was tangy and bright! I shared the other two cookies with my husband later that night after dinner. How do y'all bake such a thick cookie and have it perfectly cooked in the middle!?! It's pure magic. The chocolate chip was just what we needed after dinner. It was thick, soft and had a nice amount of chocolate chips. I did polish off the Cookies and Cream cookie the next day. Everything about that cookie was fantastic! I appreciate how much Oreo was on top. I would frequent this joint if it's closer to work or my house. I'm happy I got to stop in and grab some sweets for my family and I. My initial interaction wasn't the best but I adore the gal that helped me for stepping up and helping me out. You only get one chance to make a great first impression and the first two girls working really failed. Happy that the cookies were fabulous and if I'm ever in the area, I will have to stop in and try another 4. Hopefully my next visit will be nice from start to finish.
