This Cafe is everything one would expect in a vegan restaurant in Seattle 2023. Our server, Ashley, was stellar. We were dining on a rare limited diet, and she patiently explained options without complaint. As a typical meat-eater, the food was great, even without meat :). read more

I HAVE BEEN DYING TO TRY THIS PLACE! ....and it did NOT disappoint me. I was introduced to Cafe Flora by way of Floret at Sea-Tac while traveling for work. I had to go to the original location near/in Capital Hill area. Everything I had was soooo good! Roasted Brussel Sprouts, Ginger Lemonade, Black Bean Burger and Sweet Potato Fries. The dining areas are decorated with live foliage, beautiful wallpaper and wood floors/trim with beautiful windows all around. It feels cozy, like visiting a cabin in the woods cozy. The staff was friendly and very nice. Thank you Cafe Flora for such a great menu and food to match. Tip: Go after 5pm to order from the Dinner menu. If you arrive prior to that, the menu will be more limited. read more

finally was able to visit this place after so long! i knew the inside was going to be so pretty but did not realize that each section of the restaurant had a waterfall which made it so serene with all of the greenery and flora wallpapers. this is a great place to get brunch especially for those who are vegetarian as they have fun and unique options that aren't things like a "bean burger." i ordered the elote tartine while my friend got the french dip sandwich. both looked spectacular and were delicious. the yam fries were so good as they are well seasoned and the sauce that comes with it, is very tasty as well. the vibes were very nice as they were playing taylor swift (after her 1989 re recording announcement maybe!) and all the staff that i had encountered were beyond nice, i would definitely recommend! read more

We went for a weekend brunch and didn't have to wait too long. I tried the butternut squash and mushroom scramble (with eggs) which was really great with the goat cheese and the leftovers reheated well later. The lattes and vegan options we tried (tofu scramble and cinnamon roll) were also great. Highly recommend a stroll through the arboretum after to combat fullness read more

This place is my favorite casual vegan option friendly spot in Seattle (not to mention their Sea Tac coffee spot slaps). Kale salad: 5/5 so fresh, and hit the spot for lunch Kale and ariticoke dip: 10/5. Cheesey tasting and delish!! Service was 5/5 super friendly read more

Visiting from CA and this was an amazing brunch spot! Went on a Friday afternoon and got to sit outdoors which was beautiful. There is a small parking lot next to the restaurant and we were lucky to find parking. The food was sooo good! My favorite was the corn and tomato scramble with tofu and potatoes. Pairing this with their hot sauce was delicious. The yam fries with the chili aioli, burger, cinnamon roll, and huevos platanos were also super good! Artichoke dip was ok. Would definitely come back! read more

I just love everything about this place: the food, service, and space aesthetic. I can see why Cafe Flora is touted as one of the best vegetarian restaurants in Seattle. I'm a meat eater, and I don't miss meat when I eat here! Must get: Oaxaca Tacos. I've never had anything like this before. Using cheesy mashed potatoes as a taco filling is so creative and oh so good!! The beans are cooked well and pairs perfectly with the tacos! read more

WOW :-) Got to Seattle to finally see my rental in madison, and went to my favorite place to eat Cafe Flora, got Oaxaca taco's yummy with the French green lentil & beet salad & my lawyer got the cheese Florentine Pizza, but for desert we had the vanilla bean pan a cotta, and I had the famous and yummy Coconut Layer cake and got a piece to go !!! Just in case I get stuck in traffic on the I-5 as had my latte with me......wish I had my phone as a picture would make you goooooo there ASAP Donny read more

I ate at their SEATAC location near terminal B. The drip coffee and the hummus wrap were delicious.! Would definitely recommend

Such a cute place! Apparently the mushroom French dip has been on the menu for over 25 years and I understand why! It was so tasty and filling. I also got the spinach artichoke dip and a golden milk. Enjoyed everything I had and would definitely come back! read more

For me, this is a special place. I hate when I go to a restaurant and think I would have done better cooking at home. Never the case at Flora. There menu is great and accommodating for vegans and vegetarians alike. I'm partial to whatever is being served with the polenta (seasonal vegetables), the veggie burger, the vegan pizza (really!), the Brussel sprouts and the sweet potato fries. It's all great. It may feel expensive for vegetarian, but it's a special meal, and if you can sit in the room with all the plants, the ambiance is great. There's breakfast too, but plan on getting there when they open or you'll be standing in line. read more

We were there on a Sunday evening and it was somewhat busy. Our server's disposition was both hot and cold. We ordered a wine that we mistook for a bubbly wine, but our server turned on us and grabbed the wine from the table very abruptly and made us wait while she got the menu for us to re check it. We never said we didn't want it and when we did go ahead and request that she bring our wine back, she got even more angry and said that they already dumped it. She stormed away. She almost spilled the new glasses of wine on us when she set them on the table and walked away. First rule of good customer service is patience. We were kind and she was not! She should have left the wine there before bringing us the menu to check it out. Especially since I said "it's really good!" before she even picked it up. Second rule of good customer service is "don't switch products on your customers and overcharge for the substitution". We ordered the artichoke dip and it came with not enough bread for the amount of dip we had been served. We asked for 2 more pieces and agreed to a serving of pita because they ran out of sourdough. Instead we got an overpriced, more than enough, serving of pita bread. NOT cool! We joked to ourselves that she might spit in our food. But as the restaurant emptied out, our server settled down. I have been a patron of this restaurant since the early nineties and always enjoyed celebrating special occasions here. Food is still good. The way we were treated gives us pause to go back. We tried to make the best of our outing, but why take a chance of being treated like that? Having been in the service industry, we did leave a 20% tip. read more

Cafe Flora - Gingerbread pancakes - Vegetarian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We recently went to this restaurant for brunch. It was a delightful experience. The place was extremely busy and it was about an hour wait before we got a table. Luckily the restaurant has some parking and we were able to secure one. Otherwise there is street parking available. The brunch menu is exciting. We ordered the crust less quiche, Colorado scramble with tofu and orange pancakes. All the dishes were sumptuous. The food arrived quickly and was on the mark. I really enjoyed the scramble as the tofu was extremely tasty. The crust less quiche was baked well with loads of vegetables . The pancakes were a little on the dry side but one could make do with a little extra maple syrup. All in all a wonderful experience. Would definitely visit again as they change their menu. read more

i went on a lovely date here and got brunch. We were given a wait time if 35 minutes and would get a text once a table became available but there were several cute shops in proximity to check out while we waited. The beautiful table in the sunroom combined with quick service made the wait more than worth it. The indoor tables looked fine too but I would not prefer them. I got the spiced apple buckwheat waffle and fig orange latte and my girlfriend got the vegan option of the rancho Colorado Scramble and a bloody mary. The buckwheat waffle stood out to me as the texture and flavor of waffle was unique and paired perfectly with the maple butter and apple topping. My girlfriend appreciated the abundance of vegan options and enjoyed her bloody mary. Only complaint is that the home style potatoes with the rancho colorado scramble were dry and bland, but the tofu scramble itself was very tasty which I can't say for many of the egg substitutes I have tried. It is brunch in a upscale spot so it is a bit pricy, especially with drinks. Was lovely for a special occasion. read more

I had higher hopes for the biscuits and gravy. The gravy was delicious, but the biscuit was very dry. The latte I ordered was very good. I will keep coming back and assume this visit was a one-off. read more

Cafe Flora - Forager Scramble (vegan) + Cinnamon Roll - Vegetarian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Cafe Flora has plenty of business. We have been coming here for a few years and the food has been uneven in quality though usually good. Lovely eating spaces with loads of natural light, fun floral wallpaper, plants, water feature. It's great being able to get vegan food, but some brunch dishes are nothing special (oversalted, overtoasted [almost burnt]). This place is not inexpensive. We got burgers and fries for takeout recently and it took longer than the 40 minutes (40 minutes!) that the online ordering system predicted to get our food. About half the times we've eaten at Cafe Flora, they have gotten some of our order wrong; all their folks should know that vegan and vegetarian aren't interchangeable, and some customers have severe dairy allergies. read more

Came here for brunch on a Saturday and was seated in the sunroom. Though there was a line and it was busy, the waitstaff were very efficient and friendly in seating everyone and taking orders/checking up on people. Our waiter was very nice and recommended nice things to do on a sunny Saturday in Seattle and they offered to let us pay individually - for a table of 4 - which I've never had offered before. We got the brunch scrambles with a pot of tea and the passionfruit nog. The beverages were refreshing and interesting to try - I've never heard of passionfruit mango nog before! As far as the brunch, the portion was generous. My friend who got the onion fritatta said it was a bit charred on the bottom and pretty dense but the rest of us who got brunch plates were more or less satisfied with the food. The greens and potatoes are a bit salty, but definitely well seasoned with other flavors as well. If I come back again, I would definitely try a sweet breakfast dish, they seem more known for those. read more

Ok, so I was very excited to try this establishment. I have heard so much about it. Being a vegan, it's hard to get some high quality food that you truly enjoy and savour the taste. I got here on Sunday, busy lunch hour, and got seated at about 1.20ish pm. The weekend menu looks awesome and it'll make you want to order a lot of things. I went with the: Grilled cornbread Heirloom tomato egg scramble with cheesy grits Southern platter with eggs Drinks: Flora Bloody Mary The grilled cornbread with the rhubard jam and whipped orange zest butter is out of this world. OMG! Do not skip that and get it.. you won't regret it. The two entrees. Hmm, this is where it gets interesting. The server asked how I'd like my eggs for the Southern platter. I asked for poached and she said we don't have the machine to make it. Hmm, well shouldn't you tell your customer proactively what they're options are?! Anyway, I ordered an over easy egg. Both the entrees were ok. The Heirloom being a 3.5/5 and the southern platter 3/5. Now for the drinks, Blood Mary is highly reviewed here. And I was so looking forward to the drink. I love love love spice in my drink but what I got was a gobble of ingredients out together with not much care or thought. So, 2/5 for that. Now for customer service, for most part the servers are highly attentive. They'll come in and check in with you every now and then. This is great!! But, close to their closing hour, they came and asked me if they can clear my plate. This is when I'm chewing my food in my mouth and have a decent portion still left. I'm sorry, I don't about y'all but this is an absolute no-no. I was vigorously chewing down my food and the server kept looking at me instead of saying she'll come later. I didn't see her ask anyone else sitting on either side of me the same question. Sorry, I'm not coming back again :-/ read more

Went here for the first time. The place is large and clean. I'm not a vegetarian nor a fan of vegetarian food. The hot chocolate was amazing and sadly the pizza was sold out that day along with yam fries which I was looking forward to trying. The burger and pasta was okay as it wasn't anything I tried before. The dessert was pretty good, my favorite was fudge brownie dish. We did come 1 hour before closing. The was street parking in the back and a 6 car parking lot to the side that was full. read more

Great vegan/vegetarian cafe! It is quite spacious, and good for groups. Their menu is quite big and so many things sounded delicious. I've been here a couple of times and the most recent time I got the corn and heirloom tomato scramble with grits which was amazing. They have lots of options for substitutions (e.g. regular egg or vegan). Tons of local and seasonal dishes. Great brunch spot if you want to try something thing new! I hope to be back soon. read more

My friend and I were looking for a local vegetarian restaurant for dinner. We walked in and got added to the wait list (we were told it'd be 45min) I asked if they needed our number to let us know when our table would be ready. Hostess responds "we don't take down numbers". Okaaaaay. We walked around a little bit to wait. We came back in 30 min and saw that my name was crossed off. Odd. We weren't seated. An older white couple went to the front desk and they're told it'd be a 25 min wait and a different hostess ASKED FOR THEIR NUMBER so that they could call them when it's ready. Either they clearly don't have a clear practice on how to manage wait lists OR they discriminated against my friend and I whom are Asian American. We ordered our two soups, the grain bowl, and a salad. We placed our order at 7:15 and food arrived at 7:55. That was 40 mins of waiting in the cold patio. When the server delivered the food, no apology for the long wait at all and acted as if everything was fine. Food was mediocre. Overpriced for a grain bowl that has undercooked veg. Goodbye. Next. Side note: we find it extremely disturbing that they posted a "Stop Asian Hate" post on Instagram when their business practices didn't reflect any of that. read more

We came here yesterday to celebrate a friend at works birthday. Hadn't been here in four years before I started reviewing on a regular basis so this was perfect. The birthday girl is vegetarian and had been wanting to try Cafe Flora she passes it three times a week on the way to an appointment. We went early around 11am, were seated quickly in the sunroom the birthday girl loved it! She ordered tea which came in a cute pot with sand timer. Two of is ordered SUMMER SQUASH & SPINACH SCRAMBLE eggs roasted summer squash, spinach, walla wallah onions, & goat cheese I opted for the smoked gouda cheesy grits, another friend had the BREAKFAST PLATTER eggs, cheesy grits, garlicky greens & fresh fruit and finally the bday girl had the BREAKFAST QUESADILLA with roasted yams, poblano peppers, corn, & pepper jack cheese inside an egg wrapped flour tortilla, topped with snappy sauce & tomatillo salsa, served with mixed greens $2 to add avocado slices and lime creme fraiche. We ended the meal sharing the bday girls fav a cinnamon roll that was just right not overly sweet. We had great waitress friendly and very helpful. Hopefully it will be sooner than four years before I return again read more

Vegan Factor: 4.0 Stars A vegetarian restaurant, which means not all items are vegan. And surprisingly, not all the vegetarian dishes can be made vegan, a missed opportunity. However, there's enough on the menu to keep vegans satisfied. Food: 4.0 Stars The food is a solid four if not higher. They use local, seasonal ingredients resulting in flavorful and inspired dishes. They hit just shy of the mark with just little tweaks needed to elevate their dishes to the next level. For example, their fall foraged polenta cake could have been grilled just 10 seconds more with another dash of salt or the opposite, less salt on the basil chili sauce that glazed the incredibly well done sunchoke croquettes. Trifles to an otherwise satisfying meal. Repeatability: 4.50 Stars I've made it a point to hop on the 11 to visit this place the past two times I travelled to SEA. It's upscale comfort food, reflected in the welcoming space. Also be sure to try their inventive and easy cocktails. read more

Finally came to Cafe Flora for brunch with some friends! They don't take reservations, so you have to come by and put yourself on the waitlist. Fortunately, I arrived a bit early, so I was able to place us on the waitlist. The wait was around ~30 minutes, which was not too bad since they have benches in the front where you can wait. After being seated, we were able to order our drinks and starters pretty quickly. I absolutely LOVED the yam fries - the aioli that it comes with complements it so well and the fries themselves were super crispy and tasteful. The mulling spice + maple latte that I ordered was not as great, though. It didn't really taste like a latte, but it didn't taste like maple either... it just felt a little foamy. For my main dish, I ordered the Spiced Apple Shortcake and the Chocolate Hazelnut Coffee Cake. I honestly did not even need to order the coffee cake - the apple shortcake is huge and filled me up immediately. I thought the shortcake was great. It's actually a cranberry shortcake, and the cinnamon whipped cream was wonderful. For some reason, my apple slices were a little watery... but it still tasted pretty good. I thought the coffee cake was pretty nice, but quite dry. Overall, though, the food was great for the price and I had a wonderful time! Would love to come and try their more savory dishes next time. read more

I visited recently for a late brunch with some friends who were visiting from out of town; one was a fellow vegetarian so we were excited since we'd heard good things about Cafe Flora but hadn't tried it before. While I really enjoyed my food (winter vegetable scramble with grits) and beverage (passionfruit mango nog), my husband felt their falafel was underwhelming, especially because Cafe Flora is an acclaimed vegetarian restaurant. They were sold out of the cinnamon roll which we were bummed not to be able to try, but that was probably our bad for coming in after the breakfast rush. The ambiance and interior was very cute, but the service was quite slow despite the restaurant not being completely full - I would guess 60-70% full on this particular day. We waited a while to be seated, eyeing lots of open tables, and even longer for our food to come. Our waitress hardly checked on us and almost seemed resentful when we asked for anything. After we finished eating, we sat around waiting for the check with dirty dishes on the table for at least 20-30 minutes, and began to question if we were supposed to pay at the register at the front until we noticed another table's server had brought their credit cards back to them to sign the receipts. This made the visit less than exceptional, which is a shame because I really did enjoy my meal. read more

I was excited to dine at this iconic vegetarian restaurant. I love the bright, large greenhouse-esque interior with tons of windows. The menu denotes the vegan and gluten free options, which I always appreciate. For an appetizer, I got the baby kale Caesar salad. It was so delicious, j could have eaten four of them. My mom got the snap pea almondine. The peas were slightly charred and was tasty. My polenta entree was small, but enjoyable. I liked the pesto. I am giving this restaurant three stars because the food is good, but isn't mind blowingly good. Also, the portion sizes leave something to be desired, with the exception of the portobello Wellington, which my mom got and really enjoyed. My father, on the other hand, got a dinner sized salad, which was super small and definitely not large enough to be considered a dinner portion. read more

Wonderful cafe with excellent food, whether you are vegetarian or not they have something for everyone.

For my Seattle Spring Break trip, I met up with a dear ol' friend who graciously treated me to dinner. Mindful of my dietary restrictions, my friend recommended Cafe Flora--a gluten-free and vegetarian-friendly eating establishment. Cafe Flora features two spacious rooms for dining, a bar, and a display of baked goods on the counter. The interior decor is a feast for your eyes with the colorful wallpaper and more colorful staff. Cedric was the most upbeat, accommodating, and sincere bartender whom I watched do magic behind the counter with the mixing and prepping of drinks. I ordered the Italian Black Bean Burger with Yam Fries. As a meat-eater, I have to say that this vegetarian burger held my attention and my taste buds for the evening. The sun-dried tomato jam made the burger pop for me. The fried avocado, an appetizer, yes, I said fried avocado, was by far my favorite part of the Cafe Flora eating experience. I had a minor flashback of backhome southern fried foods in Texas. Quite unique spin on the appetizer! Fried avocado that is gluten-free, word up! I know that I do not live in Seattle, but I would be at this place with my laptop as long as green eggs and yam are on the menu. You better catch-up, Seattleites! read more

Would definitely come here again. It has something on the menu for everyone, even if you're not vegan. I don't mean to say there is real meat on the menu, but there's vegetarian options that would satisfy folks who aren't vegan like me. I ordered the quiche and it was perfect. It was topped with mustard seeds, which I was skeptical about, but enjoyed it with the quiche. The vegan cinnamon roll was great. Crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. And topped with pecans. Hello YES. My only complaint is the pancake off the kid's menu. It was one generously sized pancake. But that was it. With maple syrup of course. But it's not offered with fresh fruit or any side that wasn't a carb. I ordered strawberries on the side and paid extra for it. Didn't mind at the time, but wished a kid's order wasn't just one big sweet carb plate. Wish it had a fresh fruit or grilled morning veggie side. Finally, overall, this place is special because of its space. It's beautiful with the flora and big, open windows, and outdoor seating area. We enjoyed eating here. read more
