The Sunflower — Restaurant in Atchison

On a mild afternoon I found myself at the intersection of 5th and Atchison. Out of the corner of my eye I spotted a quaint sunflower painted on a storefront window. I simply had to investigate. Upon crossing the threshold, I was instantly transported to a simpler time where coffee shops were no longer "safe spaces" where local hippies could congregate and complain about capitalism. Nay, this wasn't a run of the mill coffee shop. It was a no nonsense establishment that serves not only coffee, but also milkshakes, pastries, alcohol, and more. I myself decided to purchase a milkshake. Despite being disappointed by the limited options, I chose the peanut butter chocolate flavor. After a short wait, I was handed my delicious looking milkshake in a mason jar. What it was lacking in consistency definitely was made up for in the flavor department. It tasted exquisite, and I felt that my money was well spent. The very friendly cashier suggested I take a look at the back study rooms, and that I did. The rooms were very quiet, clean, and comfortable, making it a suitable environment for hard working pupils. The bathrooms were also very clean and roomy, making me feel right at home.

I won’t be returning again or recommending this place to anyone I know.

You’ll get better customer at any gas station in town.

It would appear I’m not the only one with this...

I love going here but the hours are not 100% reliable. Today was one of them the two girls working was mostly talking to their college friends while people were waiting in line. Then they decided in 15 minute to close early at 1 when the coffee shop was still crowded. Their excuse was " it's atchison people don't care" and they wanted to leave work early. I love the place, I go on a regular cause they are usually nice and its the only decent place here. If this is how they are gonna act cause of their friends Hanging around a front of the cash register. I might as well go somewhere else for a...
