Sunflower Caffe on First Street West in the heart of Sonoma’s historic plaza has been a Wine Country breakfast and lunch institution since it opened, serving California comfort food built around local ingredients with the kind of warm, community-focused cafe atmosphere that earns a Sonoma Valley neighborhood its go-to morning spot. It appeared in Season 11, Episode 11 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “From Mozz to Matzo Balls,” which aired March 28, 2011. Guy Fieri found a Sonoma kitchen doing scratch-made cafe food with the seasonal local sourcing that the Wine Country surrounding it demands — fresh, bright, and exactly what a sunny Sonoma morning calls for.

What to Eat
The Seasonal Egg Dishes — scrambles, benedicts, and frittatas built around whatever Sonoma Valley farms are producing — are the morning centerpiece that changes with the California growing season. The Avocado Toast with local eggs and house-made accompaniments is the California breakfast staple done with the quality ingredients the plaza location demands. The House-Made Pastries and Baked Goods are worth arriving early for before the Sonoma weekend crowd depletes the case. The Salads and Sandwiches at lunch reflect the same local sourcing philosophy as the morning menu. Find a Sonoma Valley hotel on Trivago.
