In Short – Located in a turn-of-the-century building in Galveston's historic district, the Sunflower Bakery is an unpretentious cafe and deli offering homemade breads, sandwiches and custom orders for special occasions. Boxed meals and deli items can be packed up and carried out while pies, pastries and fresh coffee can be enjoyed at one of the small tables at the front of the store. Other items include home-canned pickles, sandwich meat and other deli favorites.

Horrible service, mean staff
by princeofdocs at Citysearch
Have been in Galveston since 7 years and am a faculty at UTMB. This is the first time I have felt racism in America and that too at Sunflower bakery. Had been there with a friend of different color and we ate, payed the bill and were just finishing our coffee when another waitress than the one who had served us comes over that you need to leave since we need the table while there were other tables around which were empty. We said that is it because we are done and she was like "no we just need the table and you need to leave". We even asked that do you want it for paying customers to that she replied yes. So we asked that we will then order something so bring the menu to which she showed us a face and then still kept on saying we need to leave and how long do we plan to stay here. This I feel was outrageous and this is something which has really disappointed me. If anyone who reads this, especially the community of UTMB, this place needs to be banned from our events and our business.
- Pros: So so food
- Cons: Free racism served

AMAZING!
by foodlover989 at Citysearch
This place was amazing! i am still salivating over their dream bar. The bakery was filled with locals old and young. at once you feel like you are surrounded by family. The eighty someting year old ladies sitting next to our table chatting and laughing made me feel at home. I had the spinach salad that tasted amazing, there were fresh bacon bits in it along with smooth fresh mushrooms. My friend had a turkey burger that was delicious as well. The bun on the burger had been baked that morning. After seeing a lady at the next table order a head sized piece of pie, we decided to stop at the bakery part of the resaurant. We narrowed down our selection from 20 different pasteries to 3. We had a delicious scone and a dream bar-which was delicious- and a blondie. Out of the selection the dream bar won favored by far! I suggest this restaurant any time! it is amazing!

Best Breakfast
by lambowner at Citysearch
We had breakfast here in the post-Ike setting. Of course, everything is new and sparkling. The quiche was excellent and accompanied by a generous fruit plate. The pancake thrilled the 6 year old. The breakfast bacon and egg on croissant pleased my husband. The service was friendly and, while not prompt, adequate. The place was full by the time we left at about 9 a.m. to walk the Strand and see the recovery efforts, completely happy.
