Little Sunflower Café specializes in vegetarian cuisine, offering an array of vibrant and health-focused dishes that are not only visually appealing but bursting with flavor.

Consider the Egg and Bacon Slider for a hearty choice or their innovative Corn Tortilla Taco featuring a fried egg layered with mouthwatering avocado salsa.

If you are after a great vegetarian place this is your spot. It is not the greatest spot to dine in because there aren't many spots available but a great place to take away. Highly recommend it and will visit again.

Absolutely the BEST veg options I found while traveling in Melb! Tried a few other places, but came back here almost every day. It’s so cute and the food is healthy, delicious, and they serve up really well sized portions.

The overall experience was good as it felt light and healthy on the stomach. Service was prompt but the food could have been more flavourful. Example the avo toast was too basic and the beetroot bun was a bit too dry. The matcha came lumpy at first however was replaced by a better one when indicated to staff

Amazing food. Great Vegan and Vegetarian variety. They do also have meat if you can't go without. This is a cute little cafe, with yummy coffee, friendly staff and delicious food. The menu uses some unique ingredients, with lots of nutritional benefit. This is a great spot for brunch. They have limited outdoor dining.

Best coffee in Elwood! This little gem never disappoints. I've been getting coffee here for years and it's always perfect. Reasonably priced too, which is rare. Food is delicioys, healthy and unpretentious. The new owners are lovely - always super friendly. Highly recommend giving Sunflower Cafe a try :)

Went here for the first time recently. I chose it for the extremely healthy options. There is a huge choice of good smoothies. Ours were really fresh. It's a cute little place. The salad bowl we had was nice. But we ordered it with tofu and it was not marinated or cooked. The next table ordered the black rice pudding if I go back I would try that. It looked good. If your in the area and feel like healthy options there is def a decent choice and also good for vegans and vegetarians.
