Great place to stop in for a quiet quick lunch or just a bite of something! Lots of healthy options. They have the best in house hummus that is made fresh daily so I'm told but the taste of it is proven to me. read more

Small but fresh and delicious. Came here with family for lunch. We ordered the sunflower salad with tofu, turkey and cranberry salad and chicken Mediterranean wrap. All ingredients were fresh and everyone's lunch was delicious. Small and cozy inside but great for the health conscious folks! read more

Food is always great. Lots of plant based options and the daily sides and hummus rarely disappoint. Only downside is the side portions are microscopic. It's a shame cause the sides are great but you've gotten bigger portions at the sample table at your local grocery store. It's not cheap but it's good quality food. read more

Enjoyed the salad and total glutenfree experience! So nice not to have to worry about what to eat.

This place is an total gem with fresh, healthy, vibrant foods with organic goodness! The interior is very clean and welcoming with a relaxing zen-like vibe. There's lots of offerings for gluten sensitive folks with clearly labeled options and the fact that they use mostly organic ingredients is cool! They're located in a strip mall next to a health food store but inside is relaxing. This place is sometimes perceived as a vegetarian or health food restaurant but don't be deceived because we found discovered a stylish and creative restaurant with delicious food serving nice portions at good prices that also that just happens to make accommodations for those with food allergies and sensitivities. Cool! Their menu is varied for both vegetarians and meat eaters too with interesting influences from Thai curry and cranberry chicken salad to taco salad, Jamaican jerk to Greek salad. We started out with a special spniach and artichoke pizza that was simply amazing, seriously maybe the best pizza combination I have ever tasted, it was sensational. My honey the Mediterranean turkey wrap that came with a salad and hummus and pita points. She really enjoyed her wrap, the salad was good and that hummus was terrific! I opted for the Thai wrap which is a terrific spiced chicken, spring mix, green onions, Roma tomatoes with a fresh peanut sauce in a big delicious grilled wrap. Mine also came with my choices of salad and hummus. We wrapped it up with a shared piece of Key lime pie, yummy. I was blown away by these freshly prepared and vibrant combinations of flavors and presentation, period. I'll be back to to try their tea of the day, they look and sound yummy. Bottom line: The food and the service is excellent. Oh yes I'll defiently be back!! read more

Absolutely wonderful cafe and lunch spot in Fairhope! So excited that they had so many vegan options EVERYTHING we had was wonderful. From the price, presentation to taste this place has everything nailed perfectly. The flavors were incredible and just popped in your mouth. We had Thai Peanut Salad with the Vegan Apple Spice Cake, Turkey Melt with avocado, Falafel Wrap (so yummy) and teas. Check out the photos below. Set in the middle of this mall it's so unassuming and is so nice and welcoming.Staff were COVIDSAFE, people were #maskup and tables appropriate distance. They also had takeout available and from the phone ringing off the hook, I'm pretty sure the locals know how special this place is too. read more

The meals I've had here are yummy and filling. I appreciate so many of their items are homemade with quality ingredients. The freshness matters to me. read more

What a hidden gem! I was told about this restaurant by a friend and although I had been to that shopping center many times, I honestly never noticed it. (Management- get a bigger sign!!) So one day after working out at planet fitness, I typed the address into GPS and was able to find it on foot. The atmosphere is quiet, simple, comfortable and inviting. The restaurant is clean. The staff are friendly and welcoming. I ordered soup of the day and it was delicious. I practically licked the bowl clean. I enjoyed my experience so much I came back the same week with my boyfriend and we ordered the hummus and pita as an appetizer (excellent). He had the tuna fish sandwich with side salad and enjoyed it. I had a different soup of the day and was equally as impressed. I am not a vegetarian or vegan, but I do like to try to eat healthy. Both times the soups were vegan and gluten free, and I didn't feel they were lacking in flavor at all!! I will certainly be back. read more

Finding food that is both healthy and delicious feels so rare and every single meal that I've tried has been a 10/10 here. Servers are always great and helpful and the ingredients are super fresh. Love this place and am so glad to have it as an option as a vegetarian! read more

frequent this restaurant because it has tons of vegan options and is conveniently located in a shopping center by my house. I generally prefer getting takeout, now especially with COVID, but also because the inside is not very comfortable. There are a lot of vents blowing cold air, no booths, and a relatively small dining space. That being said, however, their food is some of the most delicious and freshest I have been able to find. They have vegan (and nonvegan) food of all kinds: salads, sandwiches, soups, wraps, and stir-fry. My mom and I actually ate in the restaurant this time, and it was excellent. I ordered the "Sunflower salad" with sautéed tempeh (they sauté it with a ponzu sauce) and a green tea. My mom ordered crab cakes, a side salad, and a raspberry iced tea. I have also included a picture of the black bean burrito she usually orders, as well as the baba ghanoush that I adore. All of our food was made fresh, but didn't take more than 10 minutes. Portions are very decent. There was only one server present, but she was very kind and attentive. I believe they take adequate steps to prevent COVID-19 transmission. There is hand sanitizer available, the servers and customers both wear masks, and tables are appropriately spaced. The only negative is the small dining space, where it is hard to navigate without coming close to other diners. Eco-wise, they are excellent. Their to-go boxes and cups are paper, and they always ask if you need utensils rather than including them automatically. In the restaurant, all the food and drink is served with glassware and metal cutlery. Also, they locally and sustainably source all of their food possible. A fun fact about this restaurant: there are 2 locations, one in Fairhope and one in Mobile, and both are attached to a local health food store. tl;dr- Great food, but more suited to take-out than dine-in. Expand your palate here by trying well-prepared vegan food! My favorites are the tempeh, hummus, baba ghanoush, and pita bread. read more

I love this cute spot! It is very quiet and has an incredibly unique menu filled with very healthy dishes. As an appetizer I ordered the hummus, such a classic and amazing choice! I highly recommend ordering the wheat bread, I tried the white bread as well, but the wheat bread just added a new flavor to the dish. As my entree I ordered the taco salad which includes a bed of fresh lettuce, tomatoes, their homemade black bean dip, and cilantro lime dressing. The salad also includes a side of blue corn chips. I am highly impressed by this restaurant and I hope to visit more frequently! Perfect lunch spot! read more

First of all, the service was amazing! As a rather new vegan, I appreciated the waiters assistance in ordering. This probably is the prettiest salad I have ever had! The vegan Rueben was made with Tempeh. Very nutty taste. I enjoyed it very much. But it didn't really seem like a Rueben. Thankful for vegan choices!!! Thankful for great service! read more

It's slim pickings in Baldwin County, when it comes to vegetarian/vegan food. Sunflower Cafe is like a star in an otherwise darkened sky, a beacon of healthy, handmade food that is a pleasure to eat, and to visit. We shared the hummus and pita first, before moving on to our tasty entrees. I had a tempeh/quinoa plate that made me feel like I was at home in Seattle. My lunch companions, none of whom are veg, were all enjoying different things, pasta, black bean burger, portabello, you name it. We somehow saved room for dessert, mine being a massive slab of vegan carrot cake that was dense and cool, like the Olympic rainforest. Can you tell I was a little homesick? Man, that cake was something else. Support this little gem, and the neighboring grocery/health food store, and your body and soul will thank you. read more

Love this place. Found them on Yelp, saw they served fresh hummus and I had to go. They did not disappoint. I had the Greek Veggie Wrap with red pepper hummus, pita and fresh tambouli. Everything was super good. Staff were awesome and the place is cute. I'm so glad I went read more

Amazing food. I get takeout/delivery often make sure you ask for utensils I have had to eat salad with my fingers more than once. Service is hit and miss except the tall man with a beard who is the chef he always gives great service! Best food in town! read more

This is a very hipster place that serves amazing healthy food that tastes wonderful! I love the friendly atmosphere and nice people that takes the orders, serves & cooks the food. You can walk up and order or you can sit and be served in one of their small tables for four. It's a good place for anyone .. I'd highly recommend the Sunflower cafe. read more

You must try the Thai Tofu wrap with a side salad in their cilantro lime dressing!!! Omg so good!! It's what I always order when we visit and I'm drooling just thinking about how flavorful and warming this wrap is. And the salad cools you down with its creamy tangy dressing. I order a hot coffee to wash it down and they happily offer your almond creamer and stevia. read more

Because I have a new obsession with Sunflower Cafe, I was excited to try the Fairhope location today for lunch. Unlike the Mobile location, this cafe is next door to the Fairhope Health Food store instead of inside the actual store itself. During this visit, my co-worker and I both ordered the turkey avocado sandwich as a wrap, with two sides being the side salad and the baba ghanoush. We also ordered a piece of their chocolate gateau with the homemade raspberry dressing. Everything was fresh and amazing! It was my co-worker's first time giving them a try, and she could not stop raving about how delicious everything was. Out of towners: I know that Fairhope is known for its quaintness, but don't let the fact that Sunflower Cafe is in a strip mall steer you away. It's a local favorite! read more

Excellent vegan options, as well as non-vegan choices. Food has always been delicious; great service.

Its like the food in HEAVEN. Amazing and awesome cold A/C inside. So comfortable, LOVE IT

Delicious, fresh, and healthy options. They never disappoint. My favorite is the Lemongrass Stir Fry and the Dark Cherry Tea. Desserts are homemade. read more

I'm super proud of this cafe. It's not easy being vegan in the South, but this place shows that anything is possible. I had a lemongrass stir fry and blueberry tea. Neither of these have I had in LA before. It totally indulged my foodisms. I always have an itching to try new things. I was just bummed that all of the dessert had either gluten or soy in them. There are so many ways around soy. As I wrote in my book soy is super harmful to the body and is not a health food at all. read more

I would give 4.5, because of ambience/atmosphere--but the rest is SO GOOD! Food is fresh, delicious, unique--& vegan options are fantastic. My non-vegan family members love it, too. Kindest staff, excellent beverage options, too. I could eat here daily! read more

Great place to eat!!! I had a great experience here today. Great food, great service and amazing atmosphere for a cozy Sunday brunch. Place offers great healthy food and a ton of gluten free, vegan, lactose free and and vegetarian options for people with food allergies. My boyfriend has numerous food intolerances and had many options to choose from. Would definitely recommend to a friend and will certainly come back again!! read more

We discovered Sunflower Cafe almost a year ago when we were traveling back from Gulf Shores to Oklahoma City and have been back about 6 times now - every time we're in the area. We drive almost an hour to come here, the food is that good. We came today (Sunday) not realizing they didn't have their regular menu but a brunch menu instead. At first we were disappointed but once we tried their vegan breakfast burrito, wow, it knocked our socks off! We've never had anything at Sunflower Cafe that wasn't terrific - the hummus, the soup, the wraps, the pastas... everything is wonderful. Perhaps as good as the food is one of the wonderful young people who work there, Rufus. Rufus is so personable. When we were there for our second visit, 3 months after we'd been there the first time, Rufus remembered us and even remembered our son who had been with us the first time. We struck up a conversation with him then and now it feels like going to visit an old friend every time we come by. If every restaurant had that kind of person working for them who had that kind of customer service, they'd never get a bad review. We will keep coming back to Sunflower Cafe as often as we can and we hope Rufus is always there to visit with us! read more

Really great/fast/friendly service and delicious food. The Mediterranean turkey wrap with tofurkey was full of flavor and light. My only request would be a brighter atmosphere and more accommodating outdoor seating. I will definitely be going back! read more

Healthy, vegetarian friendly food in Mobile! Very impressive menu, and this is coming from a health-conscious vegetarian who lives in Los Angeles. The service is great. The food is fantastic. and you're already in Virginia's Health Food store so after your meal you can grab some great groceries! Try the spinach-artichoke dip... you wont be disappointed. read more

This place is part of Virginia's Health Food! My Mom used to drag my sister and I here as kids to get whole grain bread and fresh-ground, natural peanut butter. I still remember the smell! I was, and am totally a fan! Fresh, natural, wholesome goodness. On whole grain bread. And a glass of Pinot Grigio! It's what the big girls drink with lunch! The ladies and I opted to start with their fresh hummus of the day, which was Sun dried tomato, and delicious! Served with wheat pita triangles. Win! I then had one of the sandwiches of the day- turkey with stuff. Not as memorable, but good and good for you, too. The comfortable, casual atmosphere is a great spot for catching up with old friends without feeling the pressure to vacate the table as soon as you've finished eating. Love it! read more

I think there is an unfounded misconception that people who are vegan are spacey. However, places like the Sunflower Cafe don't help to dispel this notion. I went in yesterday to buy 2 key lime pies. Very simple! I went to the counter and told the lady what I wanted, so she told me to sit down and she'd bring it to me. She could have checked me out but instead I sat for ten minutes until she brought it to me. Then she had me wait another five minutes until she brought the bill, which she took back with my card. She brought the bill back but it was full of all the other customers receipts so I brought it up to the counter and handed it to her. I guess she thought I had the right one, which was sitting on the counter. I signed it there and left. We paid 12 bucks for two SMALL slices of key lime. Very disappointed!! :( We were vegan for a year and a half, and we ate at the Sunflower twice. The guy working the counter was awesome, really nice! I don't know where he went but he needs to come back! Theres a health food store next to the Sunflower that is affiliated with it I believe and the service there was really bad too. I just think when you are doing something that people are skeptical of, you should go out of your way to be professional and kind because you're an ambassador for your product or way of life. Needless to say, I'm a professional carnivore again (in moderation) and I feel great.... I haven't eaten here in a while but when I did the food was pretty good. I'm giving it two stars for service and atmosphere. read more

As a Vegan who's married to a non vegan, this place was the perfect compromise. Not only was the food delicious (I had the burrito) but the staff and atmosphere were top notch.

My family and I were in Fairhope looking for restaurants to eat at after our errands were done. And we found Sunflower Cafe. Delicious food and very clean. I had the Chipotle Black Bean Burrito and the Black Bean Hummus. My mom had the Thai Stir Fry (just a guess) but she said it was a delicious plate. My brother had the pizza (with nothing on it but cheese) he finished his plate and asked for more. We will definitely be going back again. read more
