Best fries in NYC Lovely staff Outdoor seating Pretty little place Great place to drop in

My wife and I had breakfast at Sunflower-Gramercy during our recent visit to New York City. The restaurant wasn't crowded, so we were seated right away. We both ordered flat whites, and they were delicious, honestly some of the best coffee I've had in NYC. My wife ordered the Break' Bowl, and I ordered the Classic. The food was excellent and very generous in portion size. Our server was also very friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely come back if we're in the area again. read more

Food: I got an omelette with spinach and cheese and avocado. I thought Avocado would be inside but guess I was wrong. And I opted for the potatoes on side and to drink I got a freddo cappuccino which was good. The food was better than I thought. Service: The service was ok I felt a bit rushed while ordering and I had to ask for water even though they saw me sitting there and with no silverware too. Ambiance: Quite a few tables they have here, music was good a bit loud for the smaller space this is. I was glad to check it out. Not running back here though. read more

Solid place for brunch or lunch! They are walk in only and they have a large outdoor dining area on the sidewalk which is covered with umbrellas so it's not too hot. I got the chicken club and my friend got the crispy chicken sandwich. The club sandwich was huge and both meals came with a basket of fries! The sandwich was very tasty and I even had leftover to bring home. Definitely recommend! read more

Overall, 10/5! The restaurant itself is a bit small but there's plenty of seating in the AM during the weekday. Our server was very patient with us when deciding and the food was absolutely delicious! I had the French Toast and man that slice was THICK! The decorativeness of the plate with fruit was next level which added to the overall presentation of the plate itself and it's something I would definitely recommend for anyone who's never been here before to try. And yes the dish comes with bacon read more

Sunday brunch with a friend on a beautiful warm sunny fall day, and Sunflower was such a fun bright addition to our morning. We sat out front in the patio, and enjoyed our very hearty breakfast. I had the Rise n Shine and my friend had the Steak & Eggs. The meals were large portions and had a great balance of protein, carbs, veggies, and it was all very fresh and well prepared. Both of us finished our entire plates and were so satisfied at the end! read more

I love Sunflower, it's a beautiful restaurant that I try to come to whenever I visit NY. The food is great and the coffee is super yummy. The restaurant itself is pretty small but cute, I haven't had an issue with a huge wait time. The tall stack is sooooo delicious, highly recommend. read more

This place was right across from where I was staying when I came to NY in July. Service was good good and the shop is cute, but the latte was just ok. It was good and unique, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't really a "latte". There was no coffee in the latte and I don't remember that being specified anywhere, unless I missed it. read more

Lovely place! They do get busy. No reservations. Quite small inside too. I got the breakfast nachos and they were so good. Food was solid.

You can tell that this place cares about the quality of their food. I've gotten their lunch items but the brunch looks AMAZING too! The restaurant is on the smaller side so get there early if you want to snag a table. read more

Convenient location with outdoor and indoor seating. Came here for lunch. Service was very good. Quick and attentive. Outdoor vibe on a sunny day made the whole experience so pleasant. We were 4 ladies and we ordered 4 delicious things. The food was fresh and excellent. The food included: AVO with poached eggs, Tall stack of pancakes, Breakwich and Breakfast taco. read more

My first time in New York and I didn't want to go too far for breakfast so I looked up a spot and found this. The decor and vibe of the restaurant was so warm. I was immediately seated and helped by the waitstaff. The French toast i ordered was so delicious! The fruit tasted very fresh and sweet and I loved the strawberry jam. My mom also loved her breakfast platter too. I highly recommend! read more

One of my most favorite local brunch spot. I enjoy ordering in, but eating there is pleasant too. It's a nice cozy vibe and the staff is attentive. Love pretty much all on the menu, coffee is great too. read more

This is for sure THE PERFECT brunch spot. It's such a cute spot with yellow and green color decor. I absolutely l loved the food quantity, taste and just the service. While it is smaller inside they do offer outdoor seating. I got a matcha latte which has my seal of approval as a matcha girly. Even my date who dislikes matcha loved the taste of this and was slightly amazed by the look of it. The carefully crafted latte art was a plus. Insta worthy. Now the main attraction: the food. I got the platter which I highly recommend as it gives you a great intro. Bacon crispy check! eggs fluffy. check! Potatoes seasoned. check! Fresh salad check! My date got the pancakes which he devoured. We loved this place so much we got lunch to-go. I def will be returning. read more

Tried this place about 11am on a Saturday and only had to wait about 20 mins outside to be seated which was decent considering we didn't have a reso. It's a tiny space and the table was too small. However the staff was very friendly, the decor was cute and the food and drinks were wonderful. The breakfast sandwich was excellent as well as the pancakes. The breakfast potatoes were cold, but had great flavor. The chicken parm sandwich was good- pesto was very nice. And the coffee. Wow. Stellar coffee. Would come every day if we were local for a latte. Will definitely be back. read more

Delicious brunch with fresh and rich flavors. We had the break'wich sandwich, mini stack of pancakes, and steak and eggs. It hit the spot and did not feel heavy or greasy on the stomach afterwards. The vibe is cute, limited space but they do have outdoor seating. The service was great, staff was attentive and accommodating. read more

Delicious brunch. Great find. Packed outside but it was a beautiful morning. Inside a bit less so but freezing, so glad we got the last outside table. Taking a star off for the coffee. Weak, majorly weak coffee. And if you're charging more than coffee shop prices for a simple drip coffee, it had better be strong. That said, the food was 5 stars. I got their breakfast nachos which was tortillas and cheese and beans and chicken tinga. Full of flavor, gluten free, and delicious. A bit spicy but not overwhelmingly so. Skip the coffee but eat here. read more

Nice brunch place in midtown east. Have indoor and outdoor dining options. Menu is pretty decent- Decor is bright and pretty. Tried their Break bowl and 3 egg omellete which were both good- especially the omellete was huge! liked their latte too. read more

My friend and I picked out this spot to start our day and it was awesome. Presentation, food, and service was such a good vibe. From the minute you come in it feels so cozy! WHAT WE ATE: She had the Original Breakfast with the best potatoes you'll have all week. Order it immediately, make sure you add on the bacon if you like it. She got a strawberry mint lemonade as well! Tastes a little like a virgin strawberry mojito. I had the breakfast burrito (it comes with cheese, but I don't do dairy so no cheese for me) and the Freddo Cappuccino. Get the coffee!! OG Visit: 4/25/25 read more

A solid spicy Bloody Mary. A very good "Rise and Shine", although the Haloumi was missing. My eggs (poached) were fine, however they had sesame seeds on them? (Allergic). I just took them off. The service was mediocre and seemed disinterested. I was told I would get a call when my table was ready in approximately 15 minutes (I didn't). I walked back in at 25 minutes and there were three empty tables. Will give it another shot due to the Bloody Mary. Happy Brunching! read more

Disappointed.....had "the Classics" 2 egg, toast, potatoes. Had poached eggs on sourdough toast. Poached eggs were cold. One was hard boiled and the second one not runny. Potatoes were cooked but not crispy. Server never checked on how the food was. Needs to make some improvements! read more

I visited this spot for a work lunch, and overall, it was a decent experience. The restaurant was busy but not full, and I was seated right away, which was appreciated. I ordered an omelet with sausage, and it was very well done. The eggs were cooked perfectly--not overdone--and the sausage was flavorful. The dish came with sourdough bread, which was nicely toasted and quite good. It also included diced potatoes that were well-seasoned. Unfortunately, while the smaller potato pieces were cooked perfectly, some of the slightly larger ones were undercooked, which was a bit disappointing. I also tried their drip coffee, which came with free refills. However, the coffee wasn't great--drinkable, but not worth getting a refill. If I ever go again, I might try an Americano instead to see if it's better. The ambiance was posh w/ vegan options, which isn't exactly my vibe--but I won't hold that against them. It's clear they've put effort into creating a trendy and inviting atmosphere. While I didn't order it, I will say that the French toast and pancakes being served to nearby tables looked amazing. I'll admit I was a little jealous of the people who ordered them, so those might be worth trying on a future visit. With tax and tip, the total came to $35. While the food was solid, that price is a bit much for a regular breakfast in my opinion, so this would likely be more of an occasional splurge than a go-to spot. read more

The breakfast here is delicious. I was full the whole day so if you have a big day ahead, this should be your first stop. Everything is cooked and seasoned well. I was scooping everything on to the buttery bread and eating it like an open face sandwich and other times just going straight for the veggies. To my surprise, I ate almost everything. But the matcha.. idk what was going on but either the water was dirty or the matcha itself was bad quality but it was terrible!!! Thankfully they swapped it for a juice for me. But the server did stare at me like I was crazy. For the amount of matcha I've tasted in my lifetime, I definitely know it's not suppose to taste moldy like it did here. I was met with a neutral annoyed attitude but a solution, so that works for me. Charming old school vibe inside. Mixed crowd. I'd come back again read more

The food here is fantastic and the plating makes each dish a work of art. They had an awesome variety of both brunch and lunch options, however seating inside is limited so do your best to get a reservation. We ended up sitting on the patio and there were not any heaters in February. I ordered the avocado toast which was fantastic, the rest of the table got the pancakes, the club and a few other entrees and we were all happy with our meals. I would certainly recommend checking it out for the food. Our server's disposition was less that sunny and not very prompt, but who knows, maybe she was having a bad day. The other downside is there is only one single stall bathroom, so expect to wait in line if you have to go. read more

If you want a good affordable burger and fries this is the spot! The burger is massive and the fries are seasoned perfectly. The place is super cute but small with a lot of tables nestled into the space. Servers were friendly but not really attentive. The bus boy was great though! He was running around non-stop, props to him. Definitely give this place a try, especially if in the area. read more

We went here today for breakfast. All of us order the classic egg, meat, potatoes breakfast. The eggs and fresh multigrain bread were delicious. I had the applewood smoked bacon - tasty. My family said the sausage was bland. The potatoes were the real miss for all of us - mushy with slimy onions and sitting in a greasy sauce. Cute outdoor space that was clean. Service was fine. read more

Sunflower Gramercy offers very tasty, very aesthetic brunch and lunch dishes. If any or all of this is what you're looking for in a weekend meal, you should definitely check this place out. I've been here a couple of times. The first time was in the late spring, and we had a short wait to be seated inside. The second time was this past January on a chilly, rainy day. We were seated immediately in the enclosed outdoor dining space, which was fine, if a little loud. Our server was great and really personable. Most of our table ordered the break'bowl (breakfast potato, salsa verde, avocado, garlic, spinach, mixed cheddar, bacon, poached eggs), which was both gorgeous to look at and tasted amazing. The whole dish was filling and packed with savory flavor, from the well-seasoned, garlicky potatoes to the savory bacon bites to the fresh, peppery salsa verde that gave everything a medium-spice kick. Everything was topped with some shredded cheese and soft poached eggs. We also ordered a mimosa carafe, which was- a) presented in a very cute carafe/plastic shopping bag combo with ice in the bag to keep it chilled, b) extremely difficult to pour as the presentation was totally impractical, and c) delicious. Rather than just orange juice, the version here is made with Amita Motion, a Greek juice made with a bunch of different fruits. Finally, I enjoyed my latte, which was quite sizable and clearly made with quality coffee. I'd say the one drawback is that it is very cramped inside, with zero space to stand while you're asking for a table or whatever. You cannot wait for your table here because you will, immediately, be in everyone's way. read more

Walked in for a group of 4 on a Saturday brunch. Expect a wait for this time. There's a lot of variety on the menu with breakfast/lunch items. I was disappointed that my drip coffee was luke-warm at best during my meal and the table itself wasn't super clean - weird marker/pen marks on the table. I felt a bit rushed, too. Maybe I did not come on a good service day but not rushing to come back. read more

Ordered: Freddo Cappuccino (~$7): iced whipped espresso with skim milk, topped with cold foam Steak & Eggs (~$29): New York Strip Steak served with two eggs, chimichurri, toast, and breakfast potatoes French Toast (~$24): challah bread, seasonal compotes, seasonal fruit, mascarpone & substituted beyond sausage Aya's take: Cute & bright spot with a solid brunch menu & drinks! I started with the Freddo Cappuccino which was creamy, smooth, and sweet. It was nicely made and the cold foam made it super light and airy. The Steak & Eggs is a great option; the portion is plentiful and the price is very reasonable! The scrambled eggs were super fluffy and made into that rose shape - quite the aesthetic! The steak was cooked to a perfect medium and was super delicious with the fragrant and herbaceous chimichurri sauce. The chimichurri was a bit too oily so I ended up taking some off. The breakfast potatoes were perfectly crisp, savory, and complimented both the steak and eggs well. I love getting a sweet & savory option for brunch, so I highly recommend doing that here and sharing whatever you order. The French Toast was light, fluffy, and sweet. I liked the mascarpone and the syrup but didn't care for the beyond sausage. Fantastic food and overall a great spot to check out. Highly recommend! read more
