I've been here many many times since my first review in 2014. It's still consistently good. Lovely garden, excellent service - after you order up front, get a table number, they bring your food out shortly. We both had the bacon, egg, cheese sandwich on brioche - really good and actually too big for me to finish but very tasty. This place is always a winner! read more

Sunflower Caffe - bacon egg cheese on brioche - yum - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sonoma, California

Don't miss this great restaurant. I didn't get a picture of the Kougin aman (pronounced queen om-on). Fantastic pastry!! Definitely order one no matter what else you are getting. We did amd shared it. So wonderful! The American breakfast was perfect. Their sourdough bread is fresh and flavorful. The breakfast potatoes are wonderful. The homemade jam is perfect for those last bites of bread. He loved His Eggs Benedict. If you're not a coffee or tea drinker, and I am not, the herbal raspberry tea was a nice alternative to water - super fragrant and flavorful. read more

Perfect stop for cravable brunch or lunch! My husband got the breakfast burrito that was stuffed to the brim and smothered - just how you would want your breakfast burrito. I got the avacodo toast - but it was so much more. The toast was chocked full of fresh produce and nuts, and dressed perfectly for the evening one of the most flavorful and texturally exciting toasts I've had. Paired with local beer and a lavender mimosa style cocktail, this was the perfect stop to start our day. read more

Made a day trip to Sonoma and wasn't sure whether we were going to have time for brunch here but so glad it fit into our day! The outdoor garden seating area is so cute and inviting. Perfect place to enjoy some yummy food on a nice day. The food is solid - the menu doesn't have anything too heavy and all the ingredients taste fresh. I left feeling so satisfied! What we ordered: * Sunflower Grilled Cheese - This was buttery/toasty/cheesy perfection! The salad on the side was lightly dressed, but I felt it could have had a little bit more pizzazz to it. * Buttermilk Biscuit Sandwich - This was my boyfriend's order. He added ham and avocado for an extra charge. Probably a little pricey for a biscuit sandwich, but it certainly looked really impressive. Fork and knife type of biscuit impressive. The biscuit itself was not the best I've ever had so the sandwich itself was just okay for me. With the amount of people coming through, it seems like they've got their system down to a T. Water and cutlery is promptly placed at your table soon after you sit down and your food comes out within 5-10 minutes. If there's a line outside, don't be afraid. It moves pretty fast and the wait is so worth it in the end. read more

Great breakfast spot in the heart of Sonoma! I had the American breakfast and my wife had the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. The food was fresh, delicious and delivered quickly on a busy Sunday morning. The staff was super friendly and the environment is a great place to enjoy a meal. read more

**Vegetarian Friendly** This place had the line wrapped around the building at noon, and was worth the wait. Don't let the size of the line discourage you, it moves quick! They take your order before you are seated, the food is delivered to your table. So not a full service restaurant, but not fast casual either. Our Order: - Breakfast Burrito - Granola Waffle The breakfast burrito was everything you could want plus more - eggs, potatoes, vegetables, and a delicious tomatillo sauce. The waffle was spectacular - perfectly light, airy, and crispy. I recommend skipping the toppings because it's that good on its own - we also didn't enjoy the granola. You can also do a to-go order and eat in the middle of the square across the street. read more

While visiting my mom, she said we had to grab breakfast here. It did not disappoint! We went in a Monday morning right when they opened so we had basically no wait to be seated. You order at the at stand set up outside and then are seated. They have seating outdoors in the back patio and out front. The women who took our order and took us to our seats were incredibly friendly and nice. The patio is so cute and bright. We got to pick which two person table we wanted to sit at which I thought was nice. I got the lavender oat latte and the eggs Benedict. I really enjoyed both. The latte was an indulgent treat. The hollandaise on the eggs Benedict was perfect. It was a little hard to cut but still delicious. I would definitely recommend grabbing breakfast here! read more

This place hit all my checkboxes for an awesome restaurant: interesting diverse menu, delicious food, excellent espresso, dog friendly, kid friendly, cute outdoor space. YAYY!!!!! We came here for brunch on recommendations from some locals. You pay and order at the counter/front and they bring you out back to their beautiful patio garden out back. It's a lovely scene with lush decorations and a fountain in the middle. For being pretty full on a weekday morning, the food came out impressively fast. Everything we had was spectacular. I'm not often happy with the espresso drinks at brunch places, but their latte came with a rich full-bodied espresso. We had their Spring Scramble, Breakfast Burrito, and Oat Waffle which were all beautifully plated, delicious, and unique. I pretty much would never visit the same place twice when traveling, but I am definitely coming back here for brunch--- yes that good!! read more

Excellent breakfast lunch place in Sonoma. You order in the front and then they seat you. The service is beyond excellent. Brought water, refilled water, brought hot sauce (homemade) and just super nice. Must be a great place to work. We all enjoyed our meals. I had the Golden Bowl with a poached egg. The others had the cauliflower wrap add bacon, grilled cheese and the breakfast burrito. The bread for the grilled cheese was sour and crispy. The cheese was gooey and mild. The breakfast burrito was huge, would have liked a little more egg and less potatoes. The watermelon frosé was good. The lavender sparkling wine was a little too sweet. Would have liked to add some ice to it. Love eating in the back patio. Not a bad seat in the entire place. So picturesque with all the plants and the fountain. Appreciate all the vegetarian options. Honestly harder than it should be to fine veg options in Sonoma restaurants. Will definitely be coming back again. read more

A must have cute brunch spot in Sonoma, CA: 1. The wait gets crazy after 11am so make sure you plan accordingly, there's a wait and the lines get long. 2. The outdoor patio seating is so adorable and cute. The yellow theme chairs and the sunflowers every where is so cute, unique, and consistent. 3. The lavender oat latte is alright- it kind of tasted like herbal medicine to me, but worth a try. [3/5] 4. The eggs Benedict was so creamy and heavenly- it was served on a sourdough English muffin and I've never had it on a sourdough before, but it was so good. It was served with a lightly dressed salad which was perfect [5/5] 5. The breakfast burrito- OMG it was so good, we added avocado and bacon (a must, because it doesn't come with protein). First, the chile verde sauce was so amazing and packed with flavor. The egg inside the burrito was so fluffy. The potatoes were ginormous. Everything was just perfect. [6/5] read more

Spent $25 for some scrambled eggs, two store bought looking sausage links, potatoes and toast that I could have made myself at home. Honestly there was not one item on that plate that was anything special. Not only that but I am not exaggerating when I say it came out in 5 minutes after my waiter put in the order which usually would make us hungry patrons happy but it kind of gave the feeling like it was already prepared and just waiting to be plated. Kind of like buffet food, and not at all giving "made to order" or frankly freshly made at all. Not a place I want to try again. I want my 25 dollars back! read more

This was a gem of a brunch place in downtown Sonoma. The outdoor dining had a pleasant and cheerful atmosphere and the staff was quick to serve. Last but not least the food was delicious! read more

Love the system they have of ordering in the front and then they bring the food to your table. It makes the entire process quick and easy. Not sure if this was their process pre-COVID, but it's def something they should keep in practice. The pictures of the food look better than it tastes. The outdoor patio is beautiful and had plenty of space. The portions of the food was definitely generous. My friend who ordered the oat waffle was not satisfied as he said it was a bit dry. I got the biscuit scramble sandwich which is huge! Def a fork and knife type of dish, not something you can pick up and eat like a sandwich. It was good, but I def needed hot sauce to accompany it. My other friend loved and finished her all american breakfast which I probably should've gotten looking back. The waitress who brought us our drinks left a bad taste in my mouth and we never saw her again through our dining experience. Maybe she was having a rough morning. However, other staff members were cheery and delightful. This is a great place for a brunch and looked like the only thing open early in the area. The line may seem long, but it goes back quick. I appreciate their efficiency and promptness in service. The food was good just gotta ask for your condiments. read more

We had an excellent experience here. We came here twice while we were in Sonoma. Lunch and breakfast. Menu is two pages--food on one side, drinks on the other. It's not big, but they do it all well. My wifey really liked their matcha latte. We all loved the granola waffle with berries. They make the granola. Definitely plan on coming back the next time we are in the area. read more

Great spot for breakfast and lunch. Always having the friendliest of staff. I always enjoy having a seat in their outdoor patio, even when cold - they provide space heaters. read more

This cafe has great reviews so we decided to give it a try. We came with a group of 6 girls and they seated us all the way in the back where it was very cold with no heater. We asked to be moved to a seat under the tent and they moved us with no problem. The way this cafe works is you pay in advance and then get seated. They brought us some cups and a jug of water and we filled them up. However, that was the end of the water. We had to go find someone working and ask them for more water, which was annoying. Ya , it's great for the cafe that they just have to bring out the food and drinks one time but bad service in a way. The breakfast burrito I ordered came out to $18 but it was nothing special. Looks 100 times better than it tastes. read more

Sunflower Caffe - Breakfast Burrito - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sonoma, California

Good food and coffee; few vegan and vegetarian options. Butternut squash wrap was very tasty while sunflower grilled cheese sandwich was forgettable. They didn't use sunflower seeds bread but a usual sourdough one which didn't justify the $11 price tag. Coconut chia seed pudding and lavender oat latte were 5 star. Very busy place on the weekends but definitely worth a visit. We did take out and just picniced in the plaza park across from it. read more

Amazing brunch spot in town! Long line but you order outside before entering the patio. So go early as you can't make reservations. Once you enter they seat you inside and bring your food out when it it is ready. They have a tent and heat lamps if it's colder outside. The food is incredible! Highly recommend the grilled cheese and tomato soup. I will definitely come back next time I'm in Sonoma. read more

Loved absolutely everything about Sunflower caffe. We were seated the minute we walked in and the service was great throughout the entire meal. We loved the ambiance and the atmosphere. The menu options were amazing- from Turkish eggs to American breakfast. They even serve caviar as one of the appetizer dishes. We definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great breakfast or brunch. read more

A long queue had always deterred us from lining up at Sunflower Caffe, which has been on my list to go to in Sonoma. There was a bit of line on a warm Labor Day Holiday, surprisingly though, not as long as I've seen in the past. Score! They have the ordering system pat down. While in line, you can peruse the menu by scanning the code painted on the flower on the pavement, or when you get closer a menu is available up front along with specials. Once you reach the front, you place your order and pay, and they will seat you. We ordered the chicken and waffles with duck trimmings + smoked duck sandwich, avo toast, and summer sangria. Everything was nice. On the waffles, you get one piece of small chicken atop the waffles with two eggs - which I was expecting to have a little more chicken, but it was fine. There was plenty of avo to go around and it was pretty filing on the toast. My husby enjoyed the smoked duck sandwich which the server recommended. It didn't disappoint. Pretty big portion too. The garden eatery at the back is just lovely with a fountain center with sunflowers floating. Service was pretty quick, and friendly staff. To close out the meal, we had a swirl of the Buffalo milk ice cream and it was wonderful, and some Chaname wine to take home. Don't get too discouraged if you see a line since it goes pretty fast. Enjoy. read more

When my husband and I got married nine years ago, we came to Sonoma for a short honeymoon since I couldn't take off too much time for work. Since then, we've come to Sonoma every year around our anniversary. This year, we had our three-month-old son with us. Even though we've been to Sonoma swver times, this was our first time trying Sunflower Caffe. There's always a line, but this morning, we got up and out by 9 am in order to beat the crowd. Sunflower has cute sunflower decal stickers on the ground with QR codes for the menu. There is a dine in and to go line; we decided to dine in. We had no idea that there was a garden, so we were pleasantly surprised. The host chose an excellent table to accommodate us and our large stroller. The garden is so serene as just beautiful. The ambiance was great! I ordered the grilled cheese sandwich and added potatoes. My husband got the eggs Benedict. The food came out in under 12 minutes, and it was delicious! My grilled cheese was great; the only drawback was that the bread was a bit TOO crispy, but the cheese made up for it. The potatoes were excellent! Get the side of potatoes. Oh! Another bright surprise for me was the orange juice. Yum! We will definitely be back! read more

You will never understand how lovely this place is unless you eat here. I have walked past this place many times but finally went with a friend. There is usually a line. It does move quickly though because you order first and then you are seated. I was overwhelmed with the menu because I was debating between four different items and then debating between two cocktails. all the options sounded like it would hit the spot. I ended up getting the chia seed pudding with berries and bee pollen. My friend got a breakfast sandwich and we both got drinks with pretty flower petals. The back patio is bright with yellow chairs and plants perfect to make any day better. I would love to come back with my husband and try another dish. read more

How on earth have I not reviewed this place yet?! Sunflower Caffe is my absolute favorite brunch spot in Sonoma! I actually stumbled upon it when planning my sister's Bachelorette party a few years ago and have been coming religiously ever since. Here are a couple highlights: + Pay up front. Perfect for large parties (like my sis' Bachelorette) in which people want to pay separately. No more doing math dividing the bill! + Fresh Food!! The food is delicious and the menu changes seasonly depending what is in season. My favorites are the Belgian waffle + fruit (recently, it was a banana creme pie waffle and was to die for) and the avocado toast with an egg (seriously... get this)! +Mimosas galore. They have multiple flavors. + Beautiful outdoor garden space! Multiple seating arrangements to fit every size party. + Friendly service! I recently went back for Brunch during COVID times and they do a really great job at managing the process. I felt very safe and they even had personalized heaters for each table. If you are looking for a casual bite in Sonoma with some seriously delicious food... come here! read more

A very 'sunny' place for breakfast! There was a line on a Saturday morning, but we didn't mind. They have you scan your menu choices, then find a seat in their back patio. There were lots of tasty choices, including a huge breakfast burrito covered in green chile sauce, filled with eggs, cheese, potatoes, onions, and more (good for vegans); a seasonal scramble with squash and goat cheese, avocado toast with cucumber, and my delicious pick-- the flaky buttermilk biscuit sandwich with folded eggs, cheddar, and a nice aioli mixture (you can add bacon, ham, avocado or sausage, too). Greens and toast come with some dishes, and whatever you order will be healthy and scrumptious. The coffee is good, too. We enjoyed the service and the whole vibe. Highly recommended. read more

Incredible food and service. Came during rainy day in February and the garden cafe area was perfect. Each table got there own floor heater. It was heaven-sent!! Had the Bacon sandwich and lavender latte! You get in line and order, then they walk you to your table. Food is fast and they have a no tip policy. They increase prices 15% to pay staff fair wages and offer benefits. They discourage you from tipping. If you insist you can still leave a tip when you finish your meal read more

Visited this cozy cafe on our way out of town. The seating area was beautiful, and the service was fast. Everything was prepared so well and was full of flavor. Was especially a huge fan of the potatoes. The only con I had was with the wellness shot. I thought it would have been something made in-house, so I was disappointed that I didn't look into it further. Other than that, I also tried the grilled cheese and duck sandwich (all brunch items), and they were also just as delicious. Recommend at least visiting once while you're in the area! read more

Cute cafe in downtown Sonoma. Came on Labor Day weekend with two friends. There was a bit wait but the line moved quickly. We were seated in the beautiful garden/courtyard with all the lush plants. I loved the ambiance and the sunflower theme. We had a late lunch reservation at another restaurant afterwards so we decided to just eat something light here. The three of us shared an order of avocado toast and a banh mi. I also tried their matcha latte which turned out to be quite good. The avocado toast was very fresh and tasty and the banh mi was full of flavors and absolutely delish! I didn't expect that at all from a traditional American eatery since I frequent the best banh mi joint in little Saigon in SF. My friends enjoyed the cafe as much as I did. One of them loved this place so much that she even picked up a mug as a souvenir. Now I know where to get a quick snack or a drink in a chic low key environment in Sonoma. Will definitely visit again and again! read more

We stopped by today and were planning to dine in. We asked in the front desk how long does it take to wait for dining in and the guy told us it might take 20-30 mins. He is not sure. He looks at our kids and told us. If kids are hungry and you don't want to wait, you can order Togo and eat in the park. It will be faster than waiting here. We took his suggestion because he looks nice, kids are hungry and we don't know exactly how long does it take. While waiting for the Togo order, I brought my son to the restroom. I saw there are open seats on the hallway ( not a good spots but we are ok with it). I asked a waiter are those seats taken? The waiter asked me to talk to the front desk manager. I asked the front desk manager who is the same guy who suggested us to order the Togo order. He told us that he didn't realize that we are ok with hallway seats. He thought we prefer to sit outdoors ( outdoors seats are wayyyyy better). I told him that we are ok with hallway seats since kids are hungry. He asked us to take the tables and he will tell waiters to send our orders to the table so that we can dine in here. We sat down, I started to feed our 1 year old son. Another manager stopped by and asked us to leave right away. We told him that we asked and had been told it is ok to switch to dine in. However, I can't find that front desk manager in the meanwhile and this general manager insisted on asking us to leave right away. We stopped eating and packed our food back into the bags...... one of the waiters said..... I am sorry but he is the top level manager. Whatever he said is the policy. I don't care who is the top or lower manager. Don't you need to respect each others and also your customers ? read more
