Open since 2007 in a historic landmark building on Sonoma Plaza, Sunflower is almost as lauded for its juicy cocktails and high-powered espresso drinks as for its healthy California cuisine, which relies on organic produce from local farmers. Several dishes here can be made vegan at your request, but officially vegan offerings on the menu include smoothies like the PB&C (peanut butter, banana and cocoa) with almond milk; a roasted cauliflower wrap on a spinach tortilla; a Golden Bowl with quinoa, roasted sweet potato, and sauteed greens; and a Hippie Salad with kale, avocado, spiced chickpeas, and sweet pepper cashew dressing.

Residing within Historic Landmark #501, Sunflower Caffee was once the home of Captain Salvador Vallejo, brother of General Mariano G. Vallejo, who founded Sonoma. The adobe was built by Indian labor between 1836 and 1846, and was occupied by Captain Vallejo and his family until the Bear Flag Party seized Sonoma on June 4, 1846. Rather than a mob of men rushing inside the building in part to establish a revolutionary government for a state that would later boast the world’s eighth-largest economy, today, you’ll find locals popping in for a quick pick me up to get their morning going.
