Downtown Raleigh’s Kitchen Table

A Beloved Raleigh Institution Returns

Sunflower's Cafe was a beloved Raleigh favorite for 37 years. Now, it's back on the south side of downtown.

Quinn, the son of the original Sunflower’s founders, has reopened this Raleigh classic with his wife Rae, and the food is exactly what people remember, and more. Everything is still made from scratch, from the chicken salad with fresh-squeezed lemon to the desserts their son James bakes every morning.

It's a family-owned kitchen with the same warmth and quality that made the original a Raleigh institution — the kitchen table of the neighborhood.

Sunflower’s After Dark

At five o'clock the cover comes off the pool table, the candles go on, and the lights come down. Same warm atmosphere, just later hours. We’ve got a full bar, local drafts from Trophy Brewing, bar bites and a bartender who can make whatever you're in the mood for. Bring a friend, bring a date, bring your best pool game. Come stay a while.
