    Fountain
    Diana C.

    Always love this spot for brunch! They are great about allergies so I can always safely eat and bring friends with allergies here too. The options are also amazing and well labeled and customizable. The service was good and the ambiance was lovely as always. We got to sit in my favorite area which is like a little indoor patio with a fountain and skylight. The only slight bummer was the spider that had taken up residence (and maybe died?) on the fountain next to us and left a few cobwebs on our table behind. Still my favorite room and brunch spot for dietary restrictions though. I dream about the waffle regularly.

    I've heard great things about Cafe Flora so decided to check it out with a friend. Starting with the good, the interior was super well decorated, it felt fun and whimsical. I got the southern platter, which was pretty flavorful. I did wish that there was more gravy for the amount of biscuit, especially bc the biscuit was a bit hard/dry (I had trouble cutting into one of them with a knife). The greens were quite salty. We also got the seasonal earl grey cheesecake, which came 30 min after we already finished our meals. It was pretty disappointing to see the plating after waiting for so long. Taste was fine, but for $14 it didn't feel worth it.

    Really cute place for vegetarian food! Lots of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options. Lovely floral decor. They have a seasonal part of their menu as well as things that stay on year round. We got the burrata which was really delicious, the potato scallion pancake which was packed with flavor and also a nice crispy texture, and the zucchini ravioli which was also pretty good, probably the least flavorful thing we had but still well prepared. Service was very nice, friendly, and accommodating even though we were there close to closing time. Would definitely recommend for vegetarians in the area!

    As a vegetarian, I was really excited to try Café Flora after hearing so many great things about it. Overall, I'd rate it 4 stars because, while the experience was good, the food didn't quite live up to the hype for me. I tried the Southern Platter with the rosemary biscuits, and I found it to be a bit dry and not as flavorful as I was expecting. On the other hand, the Vitamin C Kombucha was great. Our group ordered a variety of dishes, and the general consensus was that everything was decent but nothing really stood out. That said, I've heard so many positive reviews from friends that I'm willing to give Café Flora another chance and try some of their other menu items. One thing I really appreciated was that they accept reservations for larger groups. We were a party of six, and being able to reserve a table made the experience much smoother by helping us avoid a long wait.

    Ambiance is good, line is annoyingly long and service is slow (constantly waiting to order, get a water refill, get the bill, etc) If you're vegan/vegetarian, it's a great place to try diet-friendly versions of baked goods and other classics (biscuits & gravy, Caesar salad). I like their kale Caesar and the croissant pudding was good but not worth its price. The biscuits and mushroom gravy are skippable.

    Weekend brunch menu

    Ive heard about this place for years - it's my parents go-to cafe when they're in the city. And rightly so. Beautiful interior with a unique menu. Service enhances the gracious vibe. My sister and I dropped by spontaneously for weekend brunch (à Saturday korning around 9:30). There was a bit of a cluster of people waiting for tables, but they were larger groups and we were seated after about 10 minutes. We ordered cocktails while pursuing the menu. My sister enjoys their mimosas and I was curious about the "My name is Earl... Grey". Good choice - dangerously so. Smooth, flavorful, well balanced. Only a light perfume of Earl Grey. We shared our entrees: the harissa carrot hummus tartine and the roasted potato and scallion waffle. (Side note: we indicated our intention to the server, who thoughtfully brought extra plates so we could do that). The tartine was delicious. Just the right amount of spread on a thick slice of sourdough. It wasn't spicy at all; the sweetness of the carrots tempered the heat. A light sprinkle of romanesco and little cubes of feta finished it off. The waffle was a surprise. Crispy, savory, a whisper of sweetness, topped with a dollop of scallion butter. Unique and very flavorful. The homemade biscuit was large and easily shareable. The cappuccinos had a good, rich aroma. A double shot is the standard serving and had sufficient flavor and kick. There were so many interesting things in the menu, making it difficult to decide. I'll just have to come back.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Food is good. My friend ordered the mushroom dish and I had a bite - it was very savory and tasty. I got the hummus appetizer. All the dips were delicious however they didn't give enough bread. When I asked for more bread I was disappointed to see that they charged me additional for that. It's a very large restaurant. They have a lot of seating. The wait staff is friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend!

    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.

    Is the outdoor patio warm? I made reservations for 5:45 and it's been very cold out.

    It's warm in certain spots thanks to space heaters but also chilly if not sitting directly under one. We had to request to move indoors

    Do they accept reservations?

    Unfortunately they do not

    Does anyone know if the tent being used for outdoor dining is fully enclosed or not? Hoping that at least one (preferably two) side is completely open.

    Hi SJ, Thanks for reaching out!… 

    Is the dessert menu available during breakfast and lunch?

    Yes but will possibly be one with less options

    Are pets allowed?

    No they are not.

    Does anyone know if the waffles/pancakes are vegan friendly?

    Pancakes are typically not, but they always have a delicious vegan waffle option (changes seasonally)!

A little pricier than GF baked goods I've seen at coffee shops but I think it makes sense since you're paying for the fact that it's a gluten free dedicated kitchen and to have more choices (donuts, cookies, muffins, little cakes, quiches.) Staff was nice, and it wasn't busy at all right at opening on a Saturday morning in July. I would think of it as a grab-and-go place more than a sit down place as the inside isn't particularly cute or inviting, and there is pretty limited outdoor seating. Grab a pastry, then go enjoy it with a coffee at a park nearby!

Filled with corporate slop bowls to fuel up tech bros, you won't find a decent meal anywhere on this side of the lake. But Tanoor is kind of like that special someone who has been there your whole life but you've always looked past for greener pastures. This restaurant was staring me right in the eyes for years, and I didn't realize how magnificent it was until today. When you walk in you are greeted by warm, fresh and fluffy pita. Guess what, IT COMES WITH THE MEAL! Everyone knows I'm a sucker for some free bread. But don't let these Lebanese pillows fill you up, the dip marathon has just begun. The menu here is unlike anything I've ever seen. You can get lost trying to figure out what to order for lunch, so I would advise consulting the waitstaff for guidance through this delightful maze. I just looked on their menu to figure out what the fries that I ate were called, and I can't find them for the life of me. But they had their own incredible dip completely covering them. At one point we had 4 different dips on the table, and I'm not sure how they got there. 1) The dip on the fries 2) Spicy hummus (not that spicy, incredibly tasty) 3) Za'tar that comes with the pita 4) Yogurt sauce that came with the Kabob combo Everything comes with something else here.

I highly recommend the combo for two to three people as you get a variety of different appetizers and all of the main kabobs. However, a couple of things that really made this experience mediocre. First, the meat was overcooked even though I asked for medium rare. Most of the meat came out medium well. The rice was undercooked and hard when you bit into it. The server could have been more attentive.. didn't come back to check on us, even though the restaurant wasn't super busy. The biggest disappointment is that this establishment passes on a 5% fee to help pay for their staff's benefits. They stay it's optional and they can take it off but it's very distasteful. The owner should reconsider this and build this expense into the pricing of their menu. Otherwise their wait staff is going to feel slighted when customers leave less tip because of this additional fee. Overall, this is a solid place, but the experience was just average considering all aspects, and therefore the three star rating.
