Terrific vegetarian food. Upscale but not terribly expensive. Beautiful courtyards. Genuinely friendly service. My favorite restaurant.

Are you looking to impress that special vegetarian in your life? Take them to Cafe Flora! They will be blown away by the ambiance and decor of this boujee Madison Park eatery before they even glance at the menu. But what can you expect as a meat eater, you ask? Certainly not meat, but I can guarantee that you will be satiated by the creativity and flavor of the meat-adjacent dishes. The Portabello Wellington is a whimsical twist on the classic Gordon Ramsey specialty. I like to think that he would appreciate the artistic liberties that have been used here, instead of berating the chef. It's almost like a highly elevated hot pocket on a bed of fluffy mashed potatoes. Would order again. The savory waffle was the most intriguing dish by far. They heavily leaned into taking this as far away from any aspect of sweetness as possible by layering in herbs, butter, and a fantastic crema to go with those crispy boi fritters. But the most fantastic dish by far isn't shown below. It's the coconut cake. An absolute must order if you come to Cafe Flora. This cake is the epitome of decadence, and each bite will have you wondering if it's the best slice of cake you've had in your life. Eating this masterpiece is a life experience itself, and can't be compared to other foods. I imagine it's similar to how people feel after looking at their first born child. I implore my fellow carnivores to walk through the doors of Cafe Flora with an open mind. Prepare your palate for an evening without meat, but for a culinary journey that is full of surprises. read more

How many people go to a different gate in the airport, just to have a meal? A friend, knowing I am a vegetarian, had suggested going to Cafe Flora while we were in SEA. We thankfully had a little wait before our flight, so took advantage of it. Ordered the tofu sandwich with garlic sweet potato fries, and the mushroom au jus with regular sweet potato fries. Both dishes were yummy, something we would order again. My husband, an omnivore, said that the tofu in his sandwich had a satisfying texture. The au jus sandwich held together well, even when dipped. The flavors melded together perfectly. We would choose both our dishes again! Sorry, no pics. We got to work on those dishes right away! 1 star off bc the service could have been more attentive. Maybe they need more help, or possibly additional training. Stopped by the grab and go next door afterwards. Fun little market, and delectable looking pastries. The cashier said that they have the best coffee in the area. We will need to save room for that next time! read more

Kinda pricey but good food. Yes it's vegetarian. But while I love a good steak, I also like vegetables, which might actually be ok for me. read more

This continues to be my favorite restaurant in Seattle. Came here to tell you to try the croissant bread pudding. Biscuits and gravy and rancho Colorado scramble both great, as always! read more

Whether it's brunch or lunch or dinner, I highly recommend Café Flora. As a vegan, it's hard to find establishments that offer a wide variety of vegan options that are not just diverse, but also delicious. thankfully Café Flora delivers on all of the above. cute restaurant, great to go to for a date night. They have some items on their menus that you can always count on and they also incorporate some new ones. one of my favorites are their desserts. if you ca, you must try them for brunch. they offer vegetarian and vegan options so there are a lot more offerings for those who eat eggs. read more

Hands down one of the best spots in Seattle! While their menu is delicious any time of day, their brunch/breakfast is another level! Every time the service is top notch, their vibes are immaculate (hello covered patio), and the food and coffee hit. read more

Cafe Flora - Huevos Platanos breakfast with tofu (vegan) - Vegetarian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is in my opinion THE place for vegetarian, vegan, or gluten free fine dining. My brother and I took my dad there to celebrate his 83rd birthday last night. The starters are a must (brussel sprouts, focaccia bread, and the kale artichoke dip), the cocktails on point (the rosemary lemon drop and the ten trees are delicate and still our go to choices), and their portobello wellington is their classic go-to entree (but the portion is smaller now with only one wedge vs two or even the whole thing years ago). My dad is a meat eater and devoured the Shimeji mushrooms and nettle pesto risotto. The pizzas are ten inches and perfect for one person; I usually wouldn't order a pizza unless it's at a pizza establishment as there are so many other options, but we all shared the asparagus pizza and if you are there you should too. Street parking is easily found in the neighborhood, the service is always attentive and friendly, the plating beautiful, the cocktails served in delicate glassware, and never too noisy. read more

Cafe Flora has been on my 'to eat' list as I absolutely love their cafe in SeaTac and I had such a great experience this evening!! It is a spacious restaurant with such cute, floral decor. I made a reservation for two as they were running their limited time afternoon tea series. Shout out to our sever, Ardent! He was such a joy to talk with and so very accommodating - his service was above and beyond and really helped make our meal as special as it was. We had their standard fare but they had the options for a vegan/gluten free option for those that need. I wish there was a more 50/50 balance of savory and sweet but it's afternoon tea and I know that the sweets typically dominate. We loved everything that was served and it was explained that everything was made in house (at their other restaurant location though) and that always source the local, seasonal ingredients. I wish they included multiple teas with the tasting; you're limited to one per person unless you pay for more. But I do understand that the tea they're sourcing from (Portal Tea in Portland!) is high quality, which we could definitely tell as we were drinking it. I did appreciate that they gave us little timers to ensure that we were steeping all of the teas properly, not too long or not too short, in order to maximize the flavor and tea experience. 10/10 would come again! I heard they also do a fall tea and a winter holiday tea so I'm looking forward to their next event. Thank you Cafe Flora!! read more

I've been going to Cafe Flora for more than a decade, and still love its food. However, the level of service has been steadily declining. The last few times I've visited service has been very slow, but at least pleasant. My last visit was a different story. I was with a party of four. The waitress started by routinely, and rudely, interrupting our conversations. After she took our order, the staff began bringing out entrees one at a time, rather than serving the whole table at once. Two came relatively quickly; it was a 10-minute wait for the third; and mine did not come for another 20-25 minutes--more than half an hour after the first of our party was served, and after everyone else at the table was done eating. It was brought in a to-go bag, so I had to eat out of plastic containers. During this time, the waitress did not check on us once. She said nothing to us about this delay until we eventually flagged her down and asked. Then she abruptly told us it was "an innocent error," and became angry and rude. The restaurant did not charge for my meal, but that was hardly sufficient to compensate for ruining our meal anc then scolding the entire table when we politely objected. I will hesitate before returning. I hope the restaurant can turn the issue with its waitstaff around before alienating more loyal customers. read more

Great spot for vegetarians! Walked in with a party of 10 and waited about 30 min. The biscuits and mushroom gravy were definitely my fave and the most flavorful. Sweet potato fries were delish as well, but leafy greens were a little bland. The dark chocolate pistachio matcha had great flavor but way too many chunks to get through while drinking. Inside space is beautiful and staff was exceptional. read more

Stopped in for brunch on a Saturday around 12:30 and only had to wait 20 minutes. The restaurant is adorable and decorated with florals and light colors. The menu and staff were able to accommodate the nut allergy at our table. The frittata was cooked perfectly and potatoes were well seasoned. The carrot cake lattes tasted like fall! The yam fries were better than I expected and the aioli was delicious. read more

I absolutely loved trying this cafe! Plenty of free street parking. MANY gluten free options. Yay! Service was good. Our server was friendly and helpful. Loved the interiors! Highly recommend the beetroot tartine. So flavorful and delish! I got the pistachio date cake to go and it was okay - not as amazing as I imagined it. Nonetheless, I'm definitely coming back :D read more

We met up here as a little larger of a group for book club and had a fantastic time. The waffle changed my life honestly. The beignets were delicious. The service was good despite how busy they were and how large a group we were. The ambiance was lovely in the little greenhouse room with the fountain. I love going here because they can accommodate my many dietary restrictions (and my friends') just with what they have on the menu and I still somehow have like 5 choices. LOVE LOVE LOVE this spot and come here regularly. read more

Flora has won my heart time and time again, through my belly! From the moment you walk through the doors, you'll be greeted by a hostess who will whisk you away to either the main dining room or the atrium which is my favorite place to be. You'll be surrounded by large windows and greenery. To me, the large space feels much smaller and more intimate. Food: you won't find a large selection, but a variety of greens, starters, and mains that all complement one another. My risotto was super rich and creamy with the squash adding a hint of sweetness. The salad complemented my meal by adding another texture of crunch and coldness. My husband enjoyed the Portobello Wellington, but it was too heavy to finish it all. It was still delightful the next day. Drinks are always unique and made with ingredients that make you take smaller sips to capture all its depth. I enjoyed Ten Trees, and hubby had a chocolate pistachio matcha latte. We took the coconut cake topped with blackberry sauce to go. The texture of cake wasn't light and fluffy, but more firm and crumbly. Still very good! I enjoy the entire experience of Cafe Flora and try something new each time. They rotate their menu often, which makes the 45 minute drive worth it. read more

This is specifically a review for their spring tea service. Overall it's really really cute and the vibes are cute, however as for the food it was mid and the service was really nice and friendly but It was really slow. You have to make a reservation online in advance and you put a deposit (which is refunded at time of your reservation). However we didn't get any of our tea snacks until 40 minutes after we sat down, which I don't get bc you preorder your menu online when you make the reservation (you choose be the vegan menu or regular). But also aren't all of these things pre prepared, I don't get why it took so long isn't it just the time to put it on the platters? I even tried to wave them down to ask what was going on but found it a little difficult to wave them down. The tea did come out pretty quick after they asked us to order (each person gets to order their own tea pot) but ya we were hungry and the tea was not enough to hold us. Overall the teas were good but we all did not like the strawberry and I actually could not drink it and had to ask for another tea cup bc I couldn't even drink it to clean my cup . Overall for the treats, I thought all the sweet treats were too sweet and not very good. The chocolate was really rich but lil too much for me, I didn't like the meringue but I also never do, honestly I finished nothing on the top level. The savory options were better, the cheesy bread thing was really goody , the scones and stuff were solid once you put the jam on it (the jam is sooo good!!) and overall I really liked all of them and finished but nothing too amazing. Overall I probs will come back bc it's so cute and fun but ya little slow and food was hit or miss read more

We went here for dinner last night with our daughter Madison. The risotto was delish (and vegan) and while the portobello Wellington was not vegan, we had one bite! Whoa. Alas, richard and I are vegan. Richard had the (vegan) crispy chickpea panisse. You must combine everything on the plate in each bite. Fabulous combo. Ended with a pumpkin nog... good but quite heavy as you might imagine. Today we went back for lunch. Hands down the portobello French dip was the best!! Had a mushroom broth for dunking!!! read more

A lovely spot for brunch! Loved the interior - we were seated in the atrium, which was airy and bright. We got there in the late afternoon on a weekend and only had to wait 15 minutes. I got the frittata which was soft and cheesy, and I loved the squash blossoms that were baked into it. The yam fries were also great - perfect crispiness with an addicting aioli. Service was a bit slow, but the cafe was packed to the brim, so very understandable. Our waiter was super friendly and we had a nice chat! Parking was easy in the area. read more

I stopped by for a late weekday breakfast. Street parking was easy to find nearby. Plenty of open tables, but it took awhile to get seated. Service was friendly. Ambiance was great with lots of windows and inviting decor. I ordered the Rancho Colorado Scramble with eggs and breakfast potatoes. The meal was prepared quickly. I thought the beans were good, but the eggs were bland. The potatoes were a bit too salty. read more

If you're looking for a brunch spot that nourishes your soul just as much as your taste buds--Cafe Flora is it. My partner and I stopped by on Saturday morning and haven't been able to stop talking about the food, the atmosphere, and the absolutely lovely service. It's such a beautiful, welcoming space--sunlight filtering in, plants everywhere, and an energy that just feels good to be around. If you can eat in their outdoor area, do it!! Let's talk about the food, though. My partner ordered the Berry Matcha (so refreshing!) and the Rancho Colorado Scramble, which she absolutely devoured. I got the iced miso latte on the recommendation of our amazing server (shoutout to her, what a gem) and it was incredible--salty, creamy, just unique in all the best ways. For my main, the Matcha Belgian Waffle was insanely delicious--soft, flavorful, and so satisfying. But the showstoppers? The mochi beignets (I want them every weekend for the rest of my life) and the cinnamon roll. The berry coulis on the beignets? NEXT. LEVEL. Also $1 from every cinnamon roll supports the Trans Justice Funding Project, Queer the Land, and the GSBA Scholarship Fund to celebrate Pride month (and that just made my little queer heart so happy)! ‍ Truly cannot say enough good things. Cafe Flora is a place that feeds your body, welcomes your spirit, and supports our community. We'll be back soon! read more

Calming atmosphere and relaxing vibes that encapsulate the Madison valley. I love the openness of the cafe, curated all paper, and bathroom decor. The food menu is robust with vegetarian options for every palate. I've eaten here a handful of times and truly enjoy the food and the spice level. I won't go into the food as I encourage you to try it out for yourself. What I will share is that the portions are very generous and I often split an app and a brunch entree. Service is always really attentive and the tea pots are all really colorful which I enjoy. A really nice weekend place to go that is very Seattle. I would encourage a nice stroll through the arboretum afterwards. read more

We were hoping to try out a new place and had this one on our list for vegan restaurants in the area. We went in on a Saturday evening and were easily able to find a table for 4. We got a couple of drinks and a lot of food. We tried the Flora focaccia, warm kale artichoke dip, zucchini & roasted garlic arancini, pear & brocollini pizza and Yakima valley polenta. We also tried the mango passion fruit nog and the watermelon basil shrub. The food was decent, though a bit bland. It seemed like there was a heavy reliance on cheese and oil to add flavor. I understand why restaurants do this, but I do wish they would highlight the natural flavors of the fresh ingredients more. Staff and service were very kind and the ambiance was beautiful. read more

A hidden gem in Seattle that has a very pretty ambiance and vibe and serves delicious vegan food. There can be a wait on the weekends but isn't very bad. Service is pretty quick too. We tried the tofu scramble and oh boy, so flavorful and delicious. And the elote corn tartine was absolutely delicious. Loved both the dishes we got and they were pretty filling. Would highly highly recommend! And no doubt, that I'll go back again! :) read more

My vegetarian friend and I came here, so we were excited to split an appetizer, entree, and dessert. The spinach dip was really good and exactly what you would expect. I wish they gave a little more bread because we ate the dip plain afterwards. The burger was okay, but the fries were fantastic! especially the dip it came with. I wasn't really a fan of the dark chocolate brownie, but I could see how others would like it. The service was very quick and she was very nice. I am planning to come back to check out their brunch because the place would look really nice in the sunlight! read more

My husband is Vegan, so I try to find restaurants that cater to both vegan and vegetarian/ pescatarian. Cafe Flora for breakfast on a Sunday fit the bill!! We both had a delicious leisure breakfast on the patio, the water fountain was burbling away in the background the bubbles in the yummy drip Stumptown drip coffee reflected the greenhouse style ceiling. The atmosphere no matter where you sit is lovely, with a European flair. Service Staff have the right balance of leaving you alone and checking in that you have enough coffee or check-in if a cinnamon roll will top off the morning. My husband got the Corn and Tomato Scramble (tofu), I got the Elote Tartine (highly recommend!!) the cinnamon roll didn't make it to be photographed it was so delicious. We will be back again. read more

What a wonderful cafe! It's so hard to find vegetarian or vegan friendly restaurants sometimes, but servers here will make sure everything is just to your liking, or dietary preferences. Our server last sunday night was wonderful, and the food was also great.

Overall though, our experience was wonderful through our server who was very friendly and attentive! read more

A Seattle classic, with good reason! One of the few fully vegetarian restaurants in town (which is so weird, but here we are), Cafe Flora always has delicious and creative food. The ambiance is also wonderful (I love the atrium!) and service is reliably good. I always try to save room for their wonderful desserts and am especially a sucker for their vegan cake! Now that they accept dinner reservations, I can finally justify trekking over from Ballard. I haven't attempted brunch in years as it gets quite crowded so just arrive with patience and perhaps a snack if you are going that route. Cafe Flora is also a great place to have your Thanksgiving dinner; I went years ago and it was so good that I still think of it from time to time! read more

As someone who was vegetarian for six years and now has a pretty high bar for which vegetarian spots I'll go to, I'd definitely come back here. Right when you walk in, the aesthetics catch your eye and you immediately feel at peace and like you're in for a good time. There was a bit of a wait (40 minutes), but we didn't mind. We just browsed the menu and chatted. I got the Southern Platter with the rosemary biscuits (the buttermilk ones are bigger, FYI), and it was a flavor explosion. The eggs were cooked perfectly, and the herby rosemary scent and flavor of the biscuits paired so well with the garlicky greens. I also tried the golden latte, which was just okay. Nothing to write home about. The yam fries with aioli were really good, and the strawberry shortcake made with cornbread was divine. I'd definitely come back to order the same thing (minus the drink) or try something new. read more

We arrived here around lunchtime on a Saturday as a group of 5 and did not have to wait for a table. We were seated inside, but we had the choice of sitting outside. The inside is very cute, with lots of windows and plants. The service was attentive and great. I had the rhubarb pancakes and an oat milk matcha latte. They were delicious! I would definitely recommend this restaurant. It's a vegetarian restaurant, but 3 of our 5 party members are not vegetarian and were very happy with their food. read more

Well, the second time is a charm. The food was tremendous, one of the best vegetarian meals I can remember. Based on this visit we will try to visit on every future trip to Seattle. For appetizers we had the gougeres ( very light cheese puffs) and the kale artichoke dip with grilled sourdough. Both were tremendous and a great start to the meal. The main courses we shared were the Pea Raviolis, a really surprising polenta dish, and the eggplant dish. All were outstanding. Even the polenta which I am not normally fond of. The polenta plate included cherries, blue cheese, green beans, pesto, a balsamic reduction...and the polenta. I could not resist seeing how this seemingly random collection of ingredients could work together. Very well it turns out. Kudos to the chef who came up with this dish. Enjoyed with a nice glass of Pinot Gris, it was a meal I will remember for a long time. read more

Cafe Flora is such a vibe! I'm not vegetarian so I have never really been drawn to come here, but I'm glad that I did. I was meeting up for drinks with a friend before an event nearby and not many other places were open, but Cafe Flora was (and has drinks) so we decided to stop in. It is SO CUTE in there!! You walk in and you're greeted by so many bright colors and fun floral patterns on the walls so I immediately was happy to be here. My friend had already snagged a table and I was pleasantly surprised to see how bright and airy the space is! Lots of natural lighting and windows and the most serene rock structure/waterfall in the middle of the room. It was so relaxing and comforting in there! They have a solid drink selection with strong cocktails which is always a plus. I didn't try any of the food this time around, but there were quite a few things that sounded pretty intriguing and would give a try as a non-vegetarian! Service was friendly the entire time too. Drinks are a little steeply priced, but it's Seattle in 2025, so. Overall this is such a cute spot to stop for a meal or a quick drink! Would def recommend. read more

This place is amazing! The food was phenomenal and we thoroughly enjoyed all of the autumnal features we had! The entire staff was friendly and attentive. We ate in the atrium which was absolutely adorable, cozy, and beautiful. We started with the LATE HARVEST SPREADS which was a perfect trio of almond romesco, pickled beet kvass lebna, and sweet potato hummus served with grilled sourdough slices. All three spreads were amazing. The almond times I had a slight spice and a nice charred earthy taste. The beet lebna was like a sweet cucumber relish and totally delish! The sweet potato hummus had excellent flavors but could have been a little creamier. The PUMPKIN CANNELLONI stuffed with four cheeses, oyster mushrooms, leeks, walnuts in a white wine, pumpkin bechamel sauce with roasted delicata squash was out of this world! It was fall in a bowl and the perfect dinner on a cold, rainy evening. The BUTTERNUT SQUASH & MUSHROOM RISOTTO was simple but wonderfully executed. It had king oyster & trumpet mushrooms, lacinato kale, sage, and toasted pepitas with a side of petite arugula-treviso salad with lemon vinaigrette. So fresh and satisfying. read more
