Food - delicious. Healthy and indulgent at the same time. Service - very accommodating Ambiance - cute inside and back patio
We walked right in during January weekday breakfast hours. We really had a terrific server and the food, while simple, was outstanding. We enjoyed the Bacon Egg and Cheese sandwich and the chicken and cheese sandwich on grilled sourdough bread. It's a great place to grab breakfast or brunch.
Sunflower Caffe! My husband and I spent a few days in Sonoma for our anniversary and we had a wonderful brunch at Sunflower. We sat in the back patio which was so cute and fully in bloom. Although the caffe is fitting for any visit, I could just picture cute little breakfast dates or a gals brunch because of the bright and beautiful ambience. Service was great. My lavender latte was wonderful and the food was good too. Nothing that blew my mind, but it was delicious.would recommend!
First time we were there but for sure we will go back every time we visit Sonoma. Is love sitting in the Courtyard. Love a place with great coffee and this place qualifies for that! And their breakfast entrees are just beautifully prepared and quite delicious.
Located right on Sonoma Square with a chill backyard patio, this breakfast/lunch place is a gem. I had a fluffy cheese and egg biscuit sandwich...the eggs (done in the French soft scrambled style) had a pleasing smattering of chives mixed in. There was also a splash of gojuchang sauce, giving it a unique kick. My dining companion had the autumn scramble, which was studded with root vegetables...perfectly seasoned with sage. However, the big star of that plate was the bread. It was so good that we had to ask the (very kind and friendly) server where it was from, which was Panorama Bread in SF (wholesale only, sadly). They served it some amazing fruit jam. Of course all this goodness has already been discovered by many, so prepare to wait a bit for a patio table. But the plus is that parking is pretty easy and there's a cool Ace Hardware-style store next door with a lot of great kitchen and home goods to browse while waiting.
I recently came to Sunflower Caffe for breakfast, and had the opportunity to sit in one of their inside tables. They have a great backyard patio area that is available as well, if the weather permits. We tried the Turkish Eggs and the Breakfast Burrito. The turkish eggs were quite unique - something different from most items that I've had. The eggs were perfectly poached, and the dish being served with essentially a savory yogurt was quite unique. The breakfast burrito was solid as well, it was fairly loaded with ingredients and was topped with a generous amount of salsa and crema to supplement the dish. Our toddler enjoyed the blueberry-banana smoothie. He quickly drank half of the smoothie while he was enjoying a few bites of food here and there. Their prices are a bit steep for what you get, but their location in the Sonoma Plaza makes it somewhat to be expected. As a side note - they have a 4% health charge added to your check. I didn't see my check before selecting a tip, and only realized that there was this added fee at that time (it was on the menu, but I didn't notice it).
This place is absolutely beautiful. Especially their patio seating. We were here in December, and it was still pleasant to be seated outside. Each table had its own heater, this was a big reason we could enjoy our lunch. As vegetarians we tried the following: Avocado toast : 4/5: This was really tasty. It had a bunch of stuff along with avocado. Did think it was pricey. Banh Mi : 4/5. This was a really nice sandwich, the bread was soft but was toasted well. Enjoyed the veggies that came in it. For drinks we tried the mocha and latte. Both of them were good. Only reason to dock a star is that it was a pricey place for breakfast.
This has quite easily become one of my favorite places to make the drive to for the food and the vibes. Sunflower Caffe is a beloved place in Sonoma that my family and I have come to love. The staff here are so incredibly attentive and are honest about their menu. I had asked once about a menu item and the waiter was so forthcoming about how I could make a better choice and since then, I have always found that I want to come back due to the honesty. I will say from experience, the best time to come is late spring/early summer when the weather is perfect for the outdoor patio area that seems to be their main dining area. It's also the most perfect time because their flowers in the vicinity are in bloom and fragrant. As for the food, it is mostly all delicious and the best thing we always love ordering is their peaches and cream waffle in the summer. I would say skip on the stuffed peppers unless you really enjoy things like it. The smoked salmon dip is much better in comparison with depth of flavor and more variety to the plate. If you're looking for a cute brunch place before winery tours, I suggest you come here for the ambiance, the gorgeous garden, and the wonderful food.
This spot was highly recommended for brunch and I was not disappointed. Aside from the adorable theming, their outside patio is absolutely gorgeous. Lovely fountain and lots of lush greenery make for a serene dining experience (save for all of the pop music playing). Service was attentive and our PSLs and food came out very quickly. Their pumpkin spice latte is very mild, lovely foam. Their biscuit breakfast sandwich has a lovely soft scramble egg and the gochujang sauce isn't spicy. Wish the biscuit was toasted a bit more. The breakfast burrito comes wet and reminds me of an enchilada. Not the best but certainly not the worst! Lots of sour cream. FYI there's a 4% charge auto-added to your total.
Sunflower Caffe has all of the Sonoma charm you'd expect in a prime plaza historic location, complete with outdoor seating across their secret garden-y back patio space where we asked to sit. I knew I wanted to sit outside because 1.) duh, the weather here is quintessential patio-weather as long as it's shady, and 2.) I saw photos on Yelp and thought "that's exactly where I want to sip coffee." The patio is big but still cozy, entirely covered, and has lots of big green leafy plants and sprawling green ivies, bright yellow patio furniture, and cobblestone flooring. It's a clean and cute little hideaway in the middle of the busy plaza. We arrived at opening on a Saturday morning and were seated right away. This place definitely fills up fast, especially on a weekend. Our waiter was sweet and attentive and handled a lot of parties at once. I started with a much appreciated and needed espresso, then the guava mimosa which was super fresh and fruity, but maybe on the too-sweet-side for me... I usually prefer grapefruit or cranberry with bubbles for that extra bitter bite. Meanwhile, I thoroughly enjoyed the gluten free oat waffle with peaches and cream (and syrup and butter) plus a side of sausage. It was all top quality, nothing but yummy, beautifully plated food. This was one of my most enjoyable breakfasts ever.. if I lived nearby I'd maybe become an actual morning person..!
