Sunflour Baking Company

I come to Sunflour Baking Company often because the food is great — they have a lot of gluten-free options, delicious breakfast, and really good coffee. But the customer service needs some improvement. On my most recent visit the girl working the counter — she had dark hair with green dye — didn’t greet me or say anything. I had to start the conversation and place my order without any acknowledgment. She barely spoke, didn’t smile, and seemed totally uninterested. When the order was done, she didn’t say anything like “your food will be out soon,” and just walked away. When I received my food and said “thank you,” she didn’t respond. I love the food here and I love this place, but I think the experience would be so much better if the staff were a bit more friendly and welcoming.

Last Thursday - Sunflour Baking Company I did avocado Panini, it was excellent just needed some sort of dipping sauce I think. To be honest, I didn’t ask if they had anything so that’s on me. But it was done on homemade sourdough. Tried a variety of sweet treats, one of which was gluten-free and vegan. The lemon donut! Not gonna lie my absolute favorite was a lemon poppyseed muffin. I could’ve eaten a whole loaf if they had one. Also tried the cheddar cheese biscuit and for me, it was great! I really really liked it. The pesto provolone roll was quite good. I was trying to figure out some of the flavors and I know it had to be herbs. The coconut macaroon was very good. It is sweet as was the lemon cupcake so be prepared! All in all, I will definitely be back and the young ladies working there were really hands-on and attentive. I did notice that there were people they are working on their computer or meeting - seemed like a pretty sweet deal. Yes, pun intended!  Oh! I forgot to add that I had gotten a coupon as part of a move-in (welcome to the neighborhood) mailer that I guess everyone gets from local businesses. Definitely worth it!  Question: for anyone that knows, why is there a Mecklenberg food tax on the receipt? Just curious, not complaining I don’t ever remember seeing it but then again perhaps I wasn’t looking lol! Who gets it? Where does it go? 

The lemon bar was out of this world. Gluten free, amazing flavor, highly recommend! On the other hand, the macaron was very dry and crunchy. It crumbled the second I took a bite. Though the flavor was good, the fact that it was dry and crumbly made me give less stars.
