    Mimosa
    Wendy K.

    The service is pretty good. I am looking forward to my strawberry lemonade mimosa. I have never heard of that before. The mimosa is a little strong . The prices are reasonable. Getting Belgian waffles and eggs. Debated about that or smoked salmon and eggs. The second mimosa was much better than the first. We had two servers helping us. Looking forward to the pork chop. Delicious strawberry butter.I wish they had applesauce for the pork chop. The eggs were delicious. Good pork chop. It was one of the best chocolate pecan pie I have ever had.

    We had arrived in Galveston late the night before, and had no food in the house. So we decided to go out for breakfast first before hitting the grocery store. The reviews looked good, so we decided to try the Sunflower Bakery. We only had to wait a few minutes before being seated, which was good. I ordered the Belgian waffle with berries, and my boyfriend got the "little breakfast". OMG, the Belgian waffle with berries was to die for! It's a beautifully sweet waffle topped with Chantilly cream, blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries. The fruit was plump and delicious, and the chantilly cream was out of this world! It comes accompanied with 100% pure maple syrup, and you can tell. I am generally a slow eater, always ending well after my boyfriend, but not this morning! I scarfed that breakfast down! He loved his eggs and breakfast as well. After paying our bill, we stopped at the bakery at the rear of the restaurant. There are lots of great Takeaway options, and we bought a piece of their pecan pie that was dipped in chocolate. To be honest, the pie on its own would've been fabulous, the chocolate just put it over the top! We enjoyed our breakfast here so much, that at the end of our visit a week later, we had to come back for a second stop. Highly, highly recommend!

    We stayed nearby on a Galveston trip and ended up here twice because once just wasn't enough. The servers were friendly, quick, and dialed‑in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dining room is bright and adorable, decked out with watercolor art that makes you want to linger.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The grilled cinnamon roll was sticky, melty, and worth every bite. My daughter loved the croissants. We tried a little bit of everything -- barbacoa omelet, French toast, breakfast fajitas, soup, carne guisada -- and every plate was a winner. Bonus: the mimosa is basically a mason‑jar commitment.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute cafe located near UTMBs campus.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Typically on the busier side![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server Jennifer was 10/10 so kind and had great recommendations. I got the Salmon on po boy bread and I'd rate it an 8/10. I also got the Vanilla iced latte which has a strong coffee flavor but I would say it was a 7/20 and very pretty.

    Still a great place for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. During the holidays it's so festive and busy, it can get a little hectic so getting take-out is always the next best thing. Luis is so helpful and attentive. If you want to place a to-go order go through the patio entrance and he'll take your order.

    A short drive from Houston. This place was very welcoming from the beginning. Although it looks like a long wait, do not be fooled. It's pretty big and spacious both indoor and outdoor. Plenty of street parking as well as some private parking. Has 2 big indoor seating area and a well sized patio area. Isabella was our server and she was very nice and quick. The place was clean and friendly. Tables gets cleaned pretty quick and servers are always checking on you. However allowing you to enjoy your food with no interruptions. For drinks we went for lavender latte which was delicious and huge serving. Hot coco was not our favorite, tasted a bit powder. Food went for migas, huevos rancheros, big breakfast and waffle. Everything was yummy. Beans were a well smooth yummy texture. Potatoes were soft and seasoned. Waffle was the perfect crisp. Overall we will be returning, great service and yummy food.

    Fried shrimp with crab cake, veggies, and mashed potatoes

    You can't miss with this amazing restaurant‼We had breakfast at the Sunflower Bakery and Cafe. I didn't get pics but we each loved what we ordered: Huevos Rancheros Two Eggs any style on a Corn-Cake with Ranchero Sauce, Cheddar Cheese & Sour Cream with Breakfast Potatoes; Oysters Benedict Our Classic Eggs Benedict with Fried Gulf Oysters and Breakfast Potatoes; Texas Crab Cakes & Eggs Two Crab Cakes, Poached eggs & Hollandaise Sauce, Breakfast Potatoes & Toast; Challah French Toast Made with Fresh Baked Bread with scrambled eggs and bacon; and the kids had pancakes, fresh fruit, scrambled eggs and sausage. The service was fast, attentive, and very helpful which is always a plus with little kids. The next day, we close and decided to have lunch there for the win. See the attached pics.

    Went here on a Saturday brunch and the wait time was 30mins for a party of two and the parking was a pickle but despite all the hardships, the Sunflower bakery and cafe lived up to its name. My order: French toast Huevos Rancheros There were breakfast specials and I wanted the blueberry crepe but I believe the portion sizes are small so I got the French toasts. They came in three numbers and they were amazing , soft and warm. It was a little dry and a dollop of butter and maple syrup does the trick and it was appetizing!! The highlight was the huevos rancheros, it came with eggs on top of a cornbread and it was the something I haven't tried before. The beans were meh but the potato's, eggs along with the cornbread made it great. Also tried their Florida based OJ and black coffee. Service was great. Ambiance was a bit rustic and was a little old but has a charm to it.

    This is one of our favorite spots when in town! It's a favorite spot for so many! Always full and wait time usually goes faster than the time given. Feel free to order your coffee before you sit. We ordered the iced chai tea and white chocolate macchiato. Regular coffee are free refills.. We ordered the spinach quiche (it's a portion sliced), came out hot in the middle. A side of mixed fresh fruit. Salmon platter and omelette platter. Large portions. Excellent customer service and friendly! They are prompt!

    Corned beef hash

    There is a small parking lot and street parking available. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is an outdoor patio, bakery for to go treats and lots of seating available inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is pretty big and open but broken into 2 spaces.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was good and friendly. We were able to be seated right away. There is a big menu with lots of good options. There isn't anything gluten free or vegan on the menu or in the bakery. I got the corned beef hash and it was excellent. The portion size is large. The hollandaise sauce was good, the poached egg was cooked well and the corned beef was yummy. My husband enjoyed his omelet. There wasn't a long wait to get our food either.

    Shrimp omelette plate
    Mike L.

    Such a great experience at The Sunflower Bakery and Café. The corned beef hash was absolutely packed with flavor--perfectly seasoned with such a great balance of crispy and tender textures in every bite. It's easily one of the most balanced and flavorful versions of corned beef hash that I've ever had. The shrimp omelette was just as good, with layers of flavor that really stood out. The tricky part of making sure the shrimp were not overcooked was a success. It was hearty and filling without feeling too heavy, and the ingredients tasted fresh and well-prepared. Even though they were busy as expected to a weekend, the service was excellent. The staff was friendly and attentive, and everything came out in a timely manner. Obviously they know how to handle a crowd while still making customers feel taken care of. Definitely a spot worth visiting if you're on the island and looking for a flavorful and satisfying meal.

    We first visited The Sunflower Bakery & Cafe in 2022 while trying to decide if Galveston could feel like home. After researching spots with real staying power, this one kept coming up, and it delivered exactly what we hoped for. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nothing flashy, just consistently good food and a warm, steady atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the Sunflower Smash with Chicken & Waffles, crispy, tender, and perfectly balanced with real maple syrup. Pancakes with fresh berries and the Ranchero Pork & Eggs were just as satisfying. What stood out most was the feeling. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Friendly service, a relaxed rhythm, and a space that feels lived in and loved.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The kind of place you come back to.

The bar menu was extensive and there was a solid selection of local beer on draft. The server took awhile to take our drink orders but was attentive from there on out. The kids got pizza, a Caesar salad, chips and salsa, and a chicken Caesar. The pizza was really high quality, much more so than we expected. The Caesar was a bit soggy, and the chips and salsa were pretty standard. The adults ordered boiled seafood. As south Louisiana residents, we are often disappointed with boiled crawfish in other areas but Hulu Hulu Hut did it right. The prices were high but it was worth it.

Our waiter was decent, but my experience went downhill after I ordered the shrimp scampi. I specifically asked for no mushrooms, tomatoes, or spinach. When my meal arrived, it had extra mushrooms. I let the waiter know, and he apologized and had it remade. What disappointed me was that there was no effort to make up for the mistake. In many restaurants, when an order is incorrect and a customer has to wait while everyone else at the table is already eating, the staff will try to accommodate the inconvenience in some way. Instead, when my food finally came back, the shrimp was cold. At that point, I didn't complain again--I just ate a few bites. Afterward, we waited another 20-30 minutes for our check. When the waiter brought the card reader so I could pay, my daughter accidentally dropped one of her AirPods. While I was trying to help her pick it up and tap my card to pay, the waiter said, "Ma'am, please be careful with the machine. If anything happens to it, I have to replace it." I found that comment unnecessary and unprofessional, especially since I was simply helping my daughter while paying. Overall, the experience did not live up to the recommendations I received. Between the incorrect order, the long waits, the cold replacement meal, and the interaction at checkout, I left disappointed. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. I was still charged extra for the mushrooms I didn't ask for

We did not know that they made all of their food to order. We waited around 30 minutes to get our food, but well worth it!

I was telling one of the servers to please pass along my compliments to the chef and the owners. I was having a rather rough morning on our first visit. The best way I can describe the deliciousness of the food was that I went from being a little bit meh, to a strong to feeling like I was having a warm hug. I ordered the biscuits and gravy my other half ordered the berries and cream cinnamon French toast, and my little ordered the Mickey Mouse pancake with cinnamon. We came back another day and all ordered the same thing again, and it was just as amazing as the first time. The inside of the building is quite rustic. Even though you are waiting a bit for your food, there is so much to look at that time just passes by. Even in the bathroom will keep you occupied, and not just with the normal activities . The staff was amazingly friendly. On the second day, the gentleman server did not know whether the Mickey Mouse pancake should have the cinnamon bun toppings on it (you know,...because kids might start bouncing off of the ceiling), or sprinkles and whipped cream. We requested the latter and he came over and put on a tiny show for my little. The gentleman made a fun little show of putting whipped cream on Mickey and let my little decorate his own pancake.
