OUR STORY

A cafe, not a chain

The Sunflower Cafeis a small independent coffee shop with big ideas about what a cup of coffee should taste like. We roast local, bake fresh every morning, and refuse to serve anything we wouldn't happily serve our mum.

Drop in for a flat white and a pastry, stay for brunch, or grab one of our sourdough toasties to take away. We're here all day, every day.

What our regulars say

Best flat white in town. The almond croissants are worth the trip alone — always freshly baked and flaky.

Lovely spot for brunch with friends. Quiet enough to work in during the week, buzzing at weekends.

Proper independent coffee shop — friendly staff, generous portions, and they remember your order. Cannot fault it.
