Organic All-Natural Variety at Your Local Sunflower Cafe

“Sunflower Café offers a unique dining experience you can’t find anywhere else in Mobile or Fairhope,” according to Lynnora Ash, owner of Fairhope Health Foods, Virginia’s Health Foods and two Sunflower Café locations. “At Sunflower Café, our servers are outstanding and we put love and care into curating fresh, nourishing dishes that have customers coming back for more. We create daily specials and sides always keeping vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free dishes in mind.”

Sunflower Café has always been a forerunner in offering a healthy menu with a variety of options to its discerning customers. Knowledgeable staff at both locations (Fairhope and Mobile) often navigate food sensitivities to personalize each delicious dish. The best available natural, organic and local ingredients are used to prepare every meal. Gluten-free, non-GMO, no MSG and vegan options are all top of mind at Sunflower Café. Some of the favorites include the Turkey Avocado Melt, Sesame Ginger Stir Fry, Sunflower Salad, Falafel Wrap or Greek Veggie Wrap, just to name a few. Menu choices include the option of substituting meats for vegan options such as tempeh and tofu.

On chilly winter days, patrons often choose from delicious organic homemade soups such as chicken noodle, butternut squash, cream of mushroom, tomato basil, chili or she crab soup. And don’t forget to save room for dessert or a treat! Ginger blueberry muffins are always in high demand, but the gateau cakes are exquisite. The café serves them gluten-free with raspberry puree on top.

“You become what you eat, so best to keep it real, fresh, all-natural and delightful,” says Ash.

The Fairhope Café is open seven days a week from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Mobile location is open Monday through Saturday 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and, back by popular demand, Sundays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
