Sunflower Bakery & Cafe

Since 1999, Sunflower Bakery & Cafe has been serving a wide range of made-from-scratch breakfast and lunch items. As one of Galveston's iconic eateries, it's the perfect spot when you have a variety of diets to consider or when traveling with picky eaters.

This restaurant is quite spacious with a couple of different dining rooms, a bakery, and lots of outdoor seating.

On the other end of the bakery, there is a cabinet full of various jams and even pancake mix for purchase. Additionally, they offer cold goods, including juices and their famous strawberry butter in a tin to go! Your biggest challenge at Sunflower Bakery & Cafe will be deciding what to order!

Sunflower Bakery & Cafe: Menu & Drinks

Whenever there is a choice for a sampler, we usually say go for it! Why choose one when you can sample a little bit of everything? With the bakery basket, you will receive a freshly baked Danish, a croissant, and a blueberry muffin. On the side, you will get their famously delicious strawberry butter to top it off. If you have a smaller table or appetite, we recommend ordering the biscuits and butter. You will receive two biscuits, fresh out of the oven, and the strawberry butter.

Go savory with their classic Huevos Rancheros. This dish includes two eggs and is served on a specialty corn-cake. In addition, your toppings include ranchero sauce, cheddar cheese, sour cream, and breakfast potatoes. So good!

No matter what side of the debate you are on between pancakes and waffles, at the Sunflower Cafe, you can have both to decide. Choose from two buttermilk pancakes or light and crispy waffles. Both will come with fresh whipped cream and berries. You can't go wrong with these breakfast staples.

In true Galveston fashion, even this breakfast-and-brunch restaurant incorporates seafood into many dishes. The tortilla-crusted fresh Gulf snapper is one of their house specialties. Dressed with guacamole, pico de gallo, and butter. All the house specialties come with house veggies and your choice of fries or mashed potatoes.
