Sunflower Diner

The Sunflower Diner is a diner located at the corner of 26th street and 3rd avenue in Manhattan. We usually visit there for brunch on weekends, since they offer some pretty decent quality brunch items for a very affordable amount.

Dress

Very casual

Cost

Quite reasonable - brunch items on the weekend are $14.50. Many breakfast items are available for less than $10.

Service

It's typically busy on the weekend, so everyone is busy. The servers are fairly efficient.

Reservations

I don't think reservations are accepted. If you don't get there early (before 10-11am), there may be a short wait.

Items Ordered

Western Omelette

Western Omelette

At three eggs, this western omelette was pretty big. It contained green peppers, ham, and possibly onions. The home fries were quite disappointing - they were very cold, and too hard. They hadn't been cooked long enough. Other members of our group also had home fries, but theirs were much better.

Brunch - Walnut Banana Blueberry Pancakes

Walnut Banana Blueberry Pancakes with eggs and bacon (and tea, juice, fruit)

The brunch items at Sunflower Diner are huge. This selection came with three very large blueberry pancakes. They would have been large enough for a breakfast on their own. The brunch additionally came with juice (we selected orange juice), two eggs, some bacon, and a fruit bowl. It's a huge breakfast that's large enough to share between two people.

The pancakes were quite good, and everything else was average diner quality (good, but nothing special).
