Bites Nearby: Sunflower Caffe

The Sunflower Caffe in Sonoma's town square is the perfect reason to head west on a Saturday morning.

Full of funky art and a friendly staff, the Sunflower Caffe is a great place to people watch and chow down with a croissant and OJ. So, it might be a little bit of a drive for us Napa folk- but who's to complain when the drive takes you through the beautiful views of Carneros into Sonoma? 

Once you arrive and take in the delicious aromas of fresh espresso, you'll realize there's a huge menu awaiting you with tons of breakfast options. Not to worry; you can't go wrong. Might we suggest, however, the Pecan Waffle served with cinnamon honey butter ($6.95), or for those adventurous eaters, the Peppered Bacon Waffle served with organic maple syrup and crispy bacon bits ($6.75). 

Not in a waffle mood? Sunflower has plenty of egg and sandwich concotions to choose from, including the Pedestrian omelette sandwich-- served on brioche, with hickory smoked all natural Iowa ham and cheddar cheese ($7).

Lunch and dinner are served at the caffe, too, with nothing but praise to be had for the Smoked Duck Breast sandwich ($13) and beers and wines starting at $2. 

Whether you're in it for the art or for the bacon, Sunflower Caffe is a perfect place to indulge and enjoy your day.
