The Sunflower story
A small bakery that grew into an island table
The Sunflower began in 1999 as a small bakery at 16th and Church streets and grew into the cafe at 512 14th Street in Galveston’s East End, run by owners Lisa and Harry Blair.
Hurricane Ike flooded much of the island in 2008, and the Sunflower reopened that December. Today it holds a 4.6 on Google from more than 6,200 reviews.
