FOOD: All of the food we had was delicious! We completely wiped our plates clean. My fiancé loves Benedicts and said it was one of the best he's ever had. I honestly feel like you could order anything on the menu and it would be good! SERVICE: The service wasn't slow, but it wasn't the best we've ever had either. They were extremely busy with a wait, so it was understandable. If you're looking for a quick breakfast, I'd recommend going on a weekday rather than the weekend. AMBIENCE: Such a cute Southern breakfast café! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was packed when we went, but the space still felt surprisingly open and comfortable considering how many people were there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, it has a really cute, casual breakfast atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The Sunflower Bakery and Cafe is a cute little place tucked away in the corner of a Galveston neighborhood. It's surrounded by houses and has outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered Steak and Eggs and my wife ordered the Crabmeat Omelette. My Steak and Eggs were very good. The steak was a perfect medium rare. The eggs were over medium to a T, simply amazing. The breakfast potatoes were soft yet firm with delicious little crispy bits hidden throughout. My wife's Crabmeat Omelette was good. The crabmeat wasn't overly fishy and the omelette was fluffy. It just needed something extra to take it over the top, like fresh green onions or chives. This place was great. Everything from the service, the food and the atmosphere was above and beyond. I am definitely coming back and trying everything. read more

Cute café that's much larger on the inside than it appears. We went around 7 a.m. and didn't have to wait, but I've driven by later in the morning and seen long lines, so it seems to be a popular spot. The waffle was good and fluffy--not too thick or too thin. The scrambled eggs were slightly overcooked but still tasty, and the bacon had the perfect amount of flavor and crispness. I wasn't a fan of the vanilla latte, as it was much too sweet for my taste, and the regular coffee was just okay--it lacked the bold flavor or kick I was hoping for. Others at my table ordered the steak and eggs and the migas, and both cleaned their plates, which is always a good sign. Overall, it was a nice breakfast spot with plenty of menu items I'd like to try, and I'd definitely go back. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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.

The food was good! It wasn't anything super special but it was for sure high quality and tasty! Service was good too! The ONLY reason I'm writing this review is because I also ordered a cinnamon roll.... AND HAVE MERCY! That cinnamon roll is ARGUABLY the great cinnamon roll I've ever had in my entire life. There was some kind of seed or something in it (I still don't know what it was )and I originally I was like "what in the world is this" but I ate it and it added to the flavors so well. It was warm and mushy throughout, the frosting was PERFECTLY dispersed and it tasted absolutely incredible. The portion was massive too so it's great to share. But I was by myself so call me Joey Chestnut the way I DAWGED THAT THING DOWN! incredible. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Fabulous, superb, fantastic, egg-cellent. Good God, I have never had a breakfast so good, $15 for their "Big Breakfast" from the start I was skeptical on the price of their large breakfast but I couldn't even finish more than half of the meal. I WILL be taking this home and I WILL be saving this for later. I've been wanting to transfer out of Texas A&M Galveston ASAP, but this brunch place has me seriously reconsidering that decision. Edit: My total ended up being a little over $32 including tip with the big breakfast with the added pancakes and berries option, a coffee, and Jalapeño toast. I'd recommend sharing the big breakfast between 2 people so total per person would be about $15 (not including tip). read more

Came in on the weekend with a family of 10 for vacation. Service to get seated with slow, but once we were at our table, our food came out quickly. We got French toast, migas, shrimp plate, and the big breakfast. Everything was delicious warm and a big portions. We definitely come again. Just come in early because by 9am there was already a long line. read more

Everything was fresh and delicious, I had the berry pancake with maple syrup (I asked them to warm it for me), I also had something called the little breakfast plate and the appetizer with the 3 different fresh bakery items (croissant, blueberry muffins and a buttermilk biscuit with strawberry butter). It was all yummy . Will definitely be back when I come to Galveston again! The service was amazing and they were all so polite and on top of it from the moment you walk in, to when you leave. read more

We recently visited the Sunflower bakery and cafe for breakfast and overall, had a positive experience. The crab Benedict that we ordered was good, but not exceptional.

I would still consider returning to the Sunflower bakery and cafe for breakfast in the future. read more

I had a pleasant visit at Sunflower Bakery & Café. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff was friendly, we were seated quickly, and I really appreciated that it's dog-friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I didn't try any of the baked goods, so I can't speak to that part of the menu, but my mocha with almond milk was excellent -- smooth, not overly sweet, and exactly how I like it. My only disappointment was the lunch. As a Mexican American familiar with authentic flavors, I was really looking forward to the huevos rancheros, but it didn't meet expectations. The ranchero sauce tasted and looked very similar to jarred chunky salsa, and the beans seemed like they came straight from a can with no seasoning. I had to add salt to most of the dish just to bring out some flavor. Overall, the atmosphere and service were great, but I wouldn't recommend the huevos rancheros. It felt like a very basic attempt at recreating a traditional dish. read more

Oh. My. God. The buttermilk biscuits. The best biscuits I've had in my life. They're dense yet somehow still light and fluffy. Absolutely incredible. We ordered some to go the next day and unfortunately they were cold. I don't mean room temp, I mean cold. Still good, but a bit disappointing. The French toast was ok, it's quite a lot. The scrambled eggs were good, it does come with green onions on top. The sausage was quite good, also some of the best I've had. The potatoes were good as well. There's a bakery on one side and a coffee shop on the other. The chocolate dipped pecan pie was strange. It really just tasted like chocolate. Not a whole lot of pecans either, mostly just the soft filling. There was homeless people clearly on drugs pestering patrons outside, but there's not much they can do about that. Don't park right in front, it's difficult to back out since it backs out to the main road. read more

I stopped by here earlier today with my family for lunch. We were on the beach for the morning and looking for a place to eat when I found the Sunflower Bakery and Cafe. This restaurant has both a brunch and lunch menu along with weekly specials. The inside of the restaurant has a couple of different areas, but the section we sat in had a warm, inviting feel with a wood plank ceiling, exposed metal air ducts, and a mix of framed artwork and track lighting that gave the space a cozy charm. Beyond the dining area, there's also a traditional bakery counter where our whole family loaded up on treats for later. For lunch, I went with the smoked duck hash while my wife ordered the corn cakes. I almost chose the green chile pork with eggs since that also sounded delicious. The menu described my dish as house-smoked duck tossed with bell peppers, poblano peppers, onions, and potatoes, topped with two poached eggs and chipotle hollandaise, and served with toast, butter, and jam. My meal ended up being absolutely delicious. You could definitely taste the smoke on the duck, which had a ton of flavor. The eggs were cooked perfectly, and when cut into, they added a nice richness that tied the whole dish together. The poblano peppers and chipotle hollandaise gave just the right amount of spice, which I thoroughly enjoyed. They did forget the toast, but honestly, I didn't mind since my meal was one of the better ones I've had lately. If I had only one critique, it would be that the fat on the duck could have been rendered a little better on a few pieces. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I absolutely loved that smoked duck hash and hope I can either find something similar or try to replicate it once I get back home. read more

I didn't get a picture but the French Toast was Great!!! My Chicken and Waffles tasted good but the waffle definitely needed more time on the waffle maker. It was pale and soft. I just lacked that crusty texture. Again tasted fine but the texture and visual were just off. We will definitely return and try additional menu items. read more

Sunflower has existed since I was in high school (read: almost 25 years ago), serving locals and tourists just mere feet from the first of my two childhood homes on Galveston's East End. But would you believe me if I told you that I've never been to the restaurant until today? My younger brother and I went here for lunch after noon Mass and right before he went to work. I must admit that I was surprised he chose this place. There was a fairly sizable lunch crowd when we entered. Peeking at the lunch menu, my eyes landed on the house salad. You should've seen my face when our waiter brought it to me. It was quite massive being a salad and all. Multiple rings of French fried onions made themselves comfy on the bed of romaine lettuce. I even discovered two fried goat cheese balls in the mix, and they immediately emerged as the stars of the show since they were so tasty. Going back to the size of the salad, I wasn't able to finish it. Still, I recommend it to anyone who eats here but is paying close attention to their calorie count. Towards the back of the dining area is the bakery, which has a lot of items that I'm sure would satisfy many a sweet tooth. It was when I thought that I should return here for breakfast in the future. read more
