Sunflower Bakery Cafe

I went in to get lunch last week while passing through and ordered a sandwich. It was $ 7 and I gathered that would get me something interesting and substantial but no, I was brought a few thin slices of deli meat from Save-​on-​Foods, a little piece of lettuce, some mustard, and… that’s it. Ridiculous, I it would have cost $ 5 for those ingredients at the nearby grocery store.
I’d ordered something else, paid, and then was told they’d have to change my order. I said not a problem, then discovered I was overcharged. The man working there was quite rude and brusk about the whole ordeal as well.
Final straw was the plastic disposable cups they use for water. So unbelievably senseless and wasteful, especially in a place with such an enormous kitchen where they could easily wash reusable ones. Bad environmental practices.
Will NOT be back. Zephyr is right next door.

I’ve been coming to the Sunflower Bakery for years, and every visit to Squamish isn’t complete without one of their apple wraps or leen beef rolls. Their tea selection is excellent, and best of all, everything is super affordable and well priced! This is better than what most small towns can offer!

Poor service for an empty café, long wait time for my order and when it eventually arrived it was not close to what I had ordered. I would highly recommend the restaurant a few doors down from this café.

Such a cute little café! The coffee was delicious, and the baked items were organic and tasty. I had the carrot bran muffin which was yummy. The owner is working behind the counter, and she is super friendly and helpful. The breads look lovely, though I didn’t have any, and the whole atmosphere is light and casual.

Excellent food & service…

Very organic, so if that’s a key thing for you, you’ll be a happy camper. For people who just like their food to be food, it was still pretty good. The cinnamon rolls looked great so we ordered them up to go, and then had the sandwich lunch specials. The bread was terrific, but the middle-​bits (or sandwich guts, if you will), were a little lackluster. We had the veggie sandwiches which had cheese, lettuce, tomato, and avacado. Would have enjoyed a selection of some nicer cheeses or alternate veggies (such as roasted red pepper), even at an added cost. The sodas available were terrific though, and even if we didn’t choose the flavor of veggie chips, they were still good.

Don’t know about you, but I’m a grazer from way back. I do eat breakfast & enjoy dinner, but in between it’s soft lunch/​coffee time. Discovered this bakery/​café last time was in Squamish… the old main street location is fun, lots of collectibles stores there, & the fresh baking at Sunflower is a reason I’d go back. Light lunches, coffees, teas, desserts, & wholesome breads… works for me!

We ordered a piece of pie to share, and a couple of vanilla cappuccinos.
While the pie we shared was quite tasty, the service staff was not as friendly as I would have hoped them to be. The woman preparing the coffees was painfully slow.
Finally, they used a copious amount of sugar-​free vanilla syrup — I did not request sugar-​free, but it appears to be the only thing they had. Unfortunately, that left the coffee with a bitter-​chemical after taste which persisted well past the time we had finished our drinks and left the establishment.
