Sonoma Plaza's Garden Cafe
Sunflower Caffe sits on Sonoma's Plaza — the central square that anchors the wine country town's daily life. The format is the all-day cafe in the proper sense: breakfast, lunch, considered salads and sandwiches, an unusually pretty back garden patio.
The cooking is California cafe at restaurant standards: careful sourcing from Sonoma producers, considered breakfast plates, the kind of salads that make a long lunch genuinely satisfying.
What to Order
Breakfast plates built around proper eggs and house-made bread. Salads built around Sonoma vegetables and considered dressings. Sandwiches on actual bread, treated seriously.
The Garden
The garden patio is the experience. Trellised plants, considered shade, the kind of summer-morning setting wine-country visitors come for. The interior dining room handles overflow.
Best Occasion: First Date
Sunflower Caffe is one of Sonoma's quiet first-date wins for a daytime date — the garden, the unhurried pace, the considered cooking. For couples building a wine-country day, it is the natural starting point.
