    Sunflower Bakery is a MUST for lunch.

    Love Sunflower Bakery. Tomato basil soup and chicken salad are delicious. Husband loves the Cuban! We visit Sunflower every time we're in Galveston.

    Solid breakfast

    Get here early. Gets crowded quickly. Very popular with the local crowd. Table was dirty as we were sat. Food is good. Servers were polite. Prices elevated due to island location.

    Probably before 9:00AM. I was there on a Monday in October so it wasn't that crowded.

    I think that Sunflower will customize a cake, if by that you mean decorating one for a special occasion. Pattycakes, a couple of blocks away and also on 14th Street, does customized cakes. Both bakeries are good.
