The Sunflower Cafe — Restaurant in Fairhope

Pros:

The food was delicious! I had to ask the waitress what one of the tasty fruits was...a gooseberry! It looked like an orange tomato.

My husband and I split the eggs benedict and the cranberry apple sandwich. I got the grits, he got the potatoes. We enjoyed everything.

The atmosphere was really nice. I've never been in a place where all the customers seemed so happy, calm, and connected with the people they came to dine with. It was lovely. The staff was also friendly.

Cons:

We looked at the menu ahead of time because we're from out of town and wanted to make the stop faster. We decided to try the ginger stir fry, but because we went on Sunday, it wasn't an option on the menu for that day.

The price was a little high. $13 for the plate of food which had pretty small portions. Not that much of a complaint since the food and service was good, but I know those prices could be a shock to some people.

The sign for the place wasn't super clear. Not a big deal, but I was literally staring right at the sign above the building trying to read it from a distance. The f and l looked like a capital A because of how close together they were and the font.

Another small thing was the bathroom. So many other details were very thought out and well-done. I was kind of excited to go to the bathroom because I've seen so many restaurants like that have super cute bathrooms. Some even have funny/clever signs on the wall. This one was kind of dingy or at least underwhelming. It is a one-person bathroom for both men & women. But it served the purpose!

Overall, I'd definitely go back and would...

Stopped at The Sunflower Cafe for lunch with a friend and was pleasantly surprised with the great tasting food served here. They serve a variety of healthy dishes using fresh organic ingredients. They offer Vegan and Vegetarian options.

We started with the Spinach & Artichoke Dip, I had the Mediterranean Turkey Wrap with sides of Tabouli and Baba Ghanoush. My companion ordered the Tuna Salad Sandwich with a side salad. The flavor of everything was terrific and very pleasing to the taste. The portions were good size and we both came away quite full.

The only disappointment was dessert, we ordered Key Lime Pie. It was a small serving and came without whip cream. In my opinion the taste just wasn’t there.

Overall it was a pretty good meal although it turned out to be a little pricey for lunch. I would eat here again and recommend giving The...

We dined at Sunflower Cafe on a Tuesday afternoon. The restaurant was not crowded and we were seated immediately.

Abbie welcomed us, answered our questions and brought our drinks. We ordered a chicken salad sandwich with two variations of hummus as the sides and, at Abbie's suggestion, Thai Curry Stir Fry with chicken. Both items were freshly prepared and were quite good.

The blue chips which we ordered with our hummus tasted a bit stale to both of us so, upon a return visit, we might opt for pita instead.

Our food and drinks were $34 with $1.30 added as a non-cash price adjustment. With tax and gratuity our total was $45.48.

Our thanks to Abbie for her suggestions and for checking on us regularly during our meal. We do plan on a return visit to sample...
