    Was a delightful dining experience with ample free parking, which is always a plus. Their drink menu is impressive, featuring a variety of options including mock-tails. The selection of specials last night was great with the cassoulet being particularly outstanding. This aromatic and delicious dish showcases the kitchen's culinary prowess. The attentive service staff ensured a pleasant dining experience, with frequent water refills demonstrating their commitment to our satisfaction. While the overall experience is positive, there's room for improvement. The owner and staff were friendly but didn’t make any recommendations, the addition of recommended drink pairings on the menu would enhance the dining experience, helping guests make informed choices to complement their meals. It's worth noting that Sunflower Cafe and Bakery falls into the moderate to high price range, which may influence diners' expectations and frequency of visits. Despite this, the quality of food, service, and ambiance seems to justify the pricing for those seeking a more upscale dining option. In conclusion, Sunflower Cafe & Bakery offers a satisfying culinary experience with its diverse menu, attentive service, and comfortable atmosphere, making it a solid choice for those willing to spend a bit more for quality dining in the south shore of Long Island.

    Good neighborhood place. It wasn’t busy when we were there, but it still took quite some time for our food to be served. Didn’t enjoy waiting…but I guess that’s the price of freshly-made food. We will continue to eat there.
