Sunflower's Cafe at the Rockway building brings new life to a familiar name for many in Raleigh. Once a staple at Seaboard Station, the restaurant returns under the direction of the original owner’s son.
Designed as an easygoing, all-day destination, the space shifts from daytime café to relaxed evening hangout. Wood elements—many crafted by the owner—add a personal, hand-built character throughout. The layout, lighting, and material selection create a layered atmosphere that supports both the energy of a busy morning and the slower pace of an evening spent lingering.
Can you spot the stained-glass art that was brought over from the original location?
