This bakery is close to my house and I was craving sweets so wala I tried this place. I got a vanilla cupcake with buttercream icing. It was good for what it was but not the taste I was looking for. It tasted like a pound cake with icing. I was going for the that Cake taste. It was very sweet and it had white chocolate chips on top which was really good. I’ll have to try something else next time and service was overall good.

This is becoming one of my favorite breakfast spots. I love their egg, avocado, and cheese breakfast sandwich. Their cheddar biscuits and croissants are amazing. Brought a friend from France who said the croissants there were the best in Charlotte, so I trust his opinion!

Cute bakery. The cheddar biscuits were not bad. I thought it’d be like the Red Lobster biscuits, but they’re a bit chewy/​dense/​dry, so not as good as Red Lobster. However, the almond croissant was delicious. Make sure to check out the two for one basket for yesterday’s baked goods. That’s a great deal!

There’s been a lot of low key hype about SFBC and I’m so happy I finally went!
I got the TAB (turkey avocado bacon) and it was bombb! I don’t like bacon usually but I love how they prepared it. Simple but flavorful. My only thing was too much bread which put off the sandwich ratio.
My friend got the Brie and fig panini and wasn’t happy with the ratio either– they straight up dumped a whole jar of fig preserves on the bread. Damn.
Other friend got the portobello melt panini which was pretty good, but could have had more flavor imo.
Overall really good lunch spot with decent sandwiches.

Such a great little spot to grab a quick breakfast on your way to work, or spend time chatting with a friend or loved one. Everything I’ve tried here I’ve liked. They have a good rewards program and I love that they have a shelf with a rotating display of local artist’s work.

This place is so cute! The coffee is good, rich and strong without the bitterness and the macarons are the best I have had.

Yay! Finally got here. Been trying to get out here for a few weeks now!
First off everything looked awesome! We got cheddar biscuits, vegan chocolate chip muffins and a key lime tarte. The biscuits was cheese and soft but had s bit of a crunch on the outside which was delicious. The muffin was so banana flavored it was great and not that fake banana flavor real banana. Definitely worth it. And finally the key lime tarte! Sweet and tart with a graham cracker crust. This is the thing that will make me go back! It is a must try !

I was driving through town and just happened to see this place. I expected to walk in and walk out however they actually had four different vegan options! They had a vegan chocolate brownie, two flavors of iced vegan cupcakes, and then I believe it was a vegan chocolate chip banana muffin. I had the chocolate brownie and even though it was a tad on the dry and not so fresh side, I did come right at closing. Plus I was just thrilled to be able to have a brownie!
The place was both cute and clean. Everything was well labeled. The attendant was helpful. I am excited to try other things on future visits!

Let me start by saying, Sunflour is a pretty little shop and it’s nice that a similar business replaced Sweet Lorraine’s. I ordered a BLT with no mayo, a caramel cupcake, and a caramel latte. I’ll review these things separately to be fair.
Décor and personality — Great. Pretty shop, nice people, service a bit slow for a BLT, but they are a relatively new business.
Caramel Latte — It had the longest hair in my coffee. In all fairness, I took it back and they replaced it, but after that, my entire experience was tarnished. Needless to say, I didn’t drink my second cup. I couldn’t get past the fear of gagging on someone else’s hair in my drink of all things.
BLT w/​no mayo — Meh. It wasn’t horrible, but also not really good. The bacon was greasy and clearly microwaved. The bread was a bit stale and the roasted tomatoes were a nice attempt at flavor but didn’t add anything spectacular or a lot of flavor to my sandwich. I won’t order it again.
Caramel Cupcake — Pretty flipping good. The cake was dense but moist and the frosting was just the right amount and not overly sweet.
Recap — If I ever try them again, I MIGHT try the coffee, but I also might insist that someone else make it and watch it carefully. It’s still a bit off putting that a hair that long would up in my drink. I’d definitely try another cupcake, but skip the sandwich experience altogether. But I know me, so I know it will be a while before I go back. My 2 stars are for effort and the cupcake.

I’m only giving 2 stars because I have to admit, their food is good. A little pricy, but good. The only thing that bothered me was that on my first visit me and my friend arrived at 6:30Pm we ordered a sandwich each and sat down to eat. They close at 7pm and we arrived 30min before the closing time, but they literally close. Doesn’t mater if you are in there eating, they will ask you to leave and eat outside. I worked in two restaurants before and even though we closed at a certain time, we were never allowed to ask people that were already inside eating, to grab their stuff and finish eating outside. That’s just so rude! It was raining outside and my friend and I had to stand there to finish eating. It just made my first visit a bad experience and I’m sure never going back there ever again.

I’ve been here a couple of times after work, Sunflour is good but not amazing. I have gotten the infamous giant cheddar biscuit but was disappointed to find it so bland. It’s like a big Red Lobster Biscuit minus the garlic sauce on top, I wouldn’t order this again unless I get it in a sandwich and splatter some sauce on there. I really enjoyed the macaroons from here, huge and fresh, especially the salted caramel. I’m a little disappointed to find their chai tea latte is made with the ready made Oregon Chai chai tea concentrate that’s even available at Walmart. You can literally make the exact same thing at home in 2 seconds for a fraction of the cost. I’ve also gotten a day old rolo cupcake for 50% off, so good even after a day. I’ll come back here just for those rolo cupcakes and macaroons… maybe a croissant too.

I heart this place! Who doesn’t love pastries, sandwiches and desserts? One thing that stands out to me is how big everything is. Now saying that, I feel the prices are a little high, but again everything is larger in size (my opinion) and everything is homemade.
The Black Friday sandwich is delicious. The cranberry chutney and brie just oozes out the side of the warm pressed sandwich (I painted a good picture, right?)
I love the tea and organic coffee here. This is a perfect spot for breakfast or lunch. Usually on the weekends or early morning during prime times there will be a line.
I haven’t had any desserts yet, but they look amazing.
I look forward to the Dilworth location opening! I must try the homemade pop-​tarts and fig and brie sandwich.

I actually wasn’t overly impressed with my blueberry croissant! So sad because everyone raves about this bakery. I am totally willing to give it another shot and I think next time I’ll order the cinnamon bun or a lunch sandwich. I’ve had a breakfast sandwich before and the avocado sold me on it. There just wasn’t much taste to this blueberry pastry although it sure looks pretty. The pastry was very flaky but I just needed some more flavor, like vanilla or cinnamon! The Americano with steamed milk was pretty good, and it is a great atmosphere for working or lunch dates/​meetings. I observed quite a few business lunches and couples meeting for lunch!

Everything I’ve tried at Sunflour has been really good. I can tell they’re using high quality ingredients and take pride in their baking. BUT, the prices seem a little high. Pastries are fairly reasonable — $ 3-​$ 4 for a really good scone, same for a cupcake, etc. Lunch was were I felt a tad ripped off. I had the avocado melt and my mom had the ham and gruyère. (Both were pretty tasty, for what it’s worth. My avocado melt could have used a little salt or seasoning.) The total was almost $ 20! For two sandwiches. No drinks. No sides. I mean, for $ 20 throw me a pickle or a handful of chips or something! The tray looked as bare as my wallet.

We thought the restaurant was overpriced for breakfast sandwiches. It was $ 20 for two coffees and two sandwiches that didn’t come with a side.
It seems like we might have ordered the wrong thing because most people were going in for sweets. (Cinnamon rolls, etc)
Wife has egg cheese and avocado on sourdough and husband had egg bacon and cheese on sourdough. The eggs were pre made. (Ew)
The bread was the only good part of the sandwich. It took about 15 minutes to get our food which was a long time for pre made eggs.
We won’t be going back.

This place is pretty great. Got a salted caramel macchiato, which I think was a featured flavored at the time. It was a traditional Macchiato, that has a couple shots of expresso and one shot of milk (ends up being ½ a regular coffee cup full) buy it was only $ 2.75 and it did the job and tastes damn good too.
I also had a dark caramel iced coffee which was kind of toffee flavored and it was great.
But I liked their crossaints the best. I’ve heard they’re made in house, which I guess is a painstaking process, but the result is deliciously perfect and their sandwiches are just that good too. I didn’t try it with with egg, because I heard they were microwave eggs but it was good without.
I’d recommend going there, pastries and coffee are real good; while sandwich selections are expansive and pastry menu is smaller compared to Amelie’s. It’s definitely a worthy competitor.

I was craving some real breakfast before work this morning. A yogurt wasn’t going to cut it today. Sunflour seemed to fit the bill and was on the way to work so I decided to check it out.
The shop itself is super cute and inviting. They have a beautiful display of freshly baked goods. I decided to grab a dirty mocha and a bacon egg & cheese cheddar biscuit. The coffee was good! The mix of dark and white chocolates was perfect. The biscuit itself is super super tasty! My only complaint is the biscuit to egg ratio. The biscuit is so huge that a lot of my bites felt like I was just eating bread.
Great service and awesome value for the price. The lunch menu looked great and I think I’ll be back to try that out shortly!

Cheddar biscuits and homemade poptarts. I could very easily just stop the review right there and say, «you’re welcome.»
This place is super adorable. A place to grab coffee, breakfast, lunch, have a meeting, get some work done or pick up a delicious sweet treat. There is just something so soothing about sitting down and enjoying a little pot of tea. It’s my out-​of-​the-​yoga-​studio zen moment. On the flip side, their cold brew is a huge rush of caffeine that will keep you going for hours. I drink a ton of coffee, but man that cold brew makes me bounce off the walls.
Need something to take to a party? Grab a loaf of Sunflour’s Rosemary Olive Oil bread, a whole pie or some cupcakes.
I have a really hard time straying away from the cheddar biscuits here. They are great plain or as a breakfast sandwich. I’m also a big fan of the fig jam and brie sandwich. Although, I’m pretty sure I would eat a piece of cardboard if it had brie on it.
Service can be a little slow at times. I think that just goes with the laid back, casual atmosphere. The parking lot isn’t huge, so you may have trouble finding a spot during lunch time at this shopping center.
