Flora Cafe has quickly become my go-to "local office." I work from home most of the time, so having a place with great food, perfect service, and such a welcoming atmosphere for client meetings is invaluable. We recently hosted a private event here and the experience was nothing short of amazing. Highly recommend! read more

So are you looking for a nice little and quaint place to have some breakfast or lunch? Well look no further than Flora's Cafe. The ambiance inside is so nice, with a long velvet/velour bench and some comfortable chairs and solid stone looking tables, they have put some thought and effort into their aesthetic. But of course we come for the food and drinks, right? So they do have a pretty good selection of sandwiches, salads, and pastries. Their drink menu is also quite good and they also have their signature drinks and food. The place is always clean and neat, and so welcoming. My favorite sandwiches are the grilled cheese and the roast beef. I would have the roast beef more but I have to watch what I eat or i get gout. I love this place as they are so accommodating and also listened to some of my suggestions. When they first opened up they would just serve their sandwich with no side, just the sandwich. But i will say that they do charge a fair amount, and for that amount it would be nice to have something else on the side. So my suggestion was to either derive a little house salad or some chips to fill out the plate and to add some texture to the meal. And to my surprise the next day they had added a little salad to the meal. And might i add I really don't like salads, but this one is very delicious, and adds a bit of different texture and some acidity to your meal. The drinks are nice and are made right there. They are always served in nice glassware if you are drinking there. I am not a big coffee drinker so I usually will go with a chai or some tea. I love that they will make it either hot or cold to your liking. I was a bit worried when they started up, as i thought that this was not a good time in the economy to open up a business. But they are doing remarkably well and they are quite busy most of the time. I love to see a place doing well, so when we climb up the stairs to go to work, we have a nice start to our day to see all the happy people inside eating and drinking. I wish they continued success, but I know they have found their niche and a good formula for success. read more

This is the cutest cafe. Bonita was so excited to welcome something fresh and much needed! I have been about five times. Three times for a grab and go drink and two sit down meet ups. I have given the benefit of the doubt, tried different items and continue to be disappointed. Today was my last visit. Friends and I came and I was the only one to order because they were previously underwhelmed or disappointed in service as mentioned in other recent reviews. Two hand written signs indicated they were closing early and one said they were out of matcha. I ordered a chai latte. It was super spicy. Starbucks also does a spicy chai, but this was a spicy watered down small 12 oz ish drink that I left untouched. My friend offered to return it. When I decided to go in I continued to regret wasting the energy to recover. I indicated it was spicy and asked for an alternative. She reccomended two espresso drinks, but I dont drink coffee. I asked if I could get one of two pressed juices and she said they didn't have any left. She offered a free coffee in the future and I said no thank you. I requested she refund my $10.87 purchase. She asked me when I purchased it and I said according to my phone's Apple Pay 15 mins ago. She said but you dont have the receipt? I showed her my phone. She then took a cell phone call. Then she said she needed to give someone else their drink. So I said I'll be outside if you want to come grab me. She never did, and maintenance workers asked my friends and I if we could move bc they were unbolting/removing all outdoor tables and chairs from the shopping center. Customers from Everbowl and Jersey Mikes were also uprooted and left standing with their food. We all left disappointed and I can't believe I spent almost $11 on spicy iced water :( read more

The ambience and decor were absolutely beautiful -- easily 5 star vibes and a great place to relax or take photos. Unfortunately, the coffee didn't match the atmosphere. Drinks tasted underwhelming and lacked the quality you'd expect from such a nice café. Great aesthetic spot, but the coffee itself needs improvement. read more

Bonita is always nice place to come and relax and growing up here I have a lot of memories of the park but another sweet memory to add is Floral Cafe a cute gem nestled next to Bank of America and Vons!

Flora Cafe - Apple crumble cake, cup of americano, and cup of caffe latte - Cafes Near Me - Bonita, California

The cafe it self is very cute but the inside reeks of the overflow of smell from the nail salon, enough to give someone a strong headache. But besides that they had a very tasty mango matcha which i would recommend as well as the chocolate croissant. But the latte i got was HORRIBLE. The espresso was so burnt it had a strong bitter taste. if i'm paying $7 for a drink i want it to be something i can't make better myself but this was not it. overall i would not recommend this place just on my experience with the latte itself. It's also understaffed which isn't their fault but it's a good note. The worker they did have a as very polite. read more

Took the kids out for a daddy-kid date and brought them here after the library. I needed a pick me upper. instantly felt like I walked into a warm hug with good lighting. The owner (I'm pretty sure it was her) came over, chatted with us, and radiated pure sweetness. Got myself a nice drink and some sandwiches both hit the spot like a cozy Sunday afternoon. Even the bathroom deserves five stars... spotless and stylish! Great vibes, great people, great food. Support your locals they're doing it right here! read more

I usually don't go to Bonita for anything but I had a work assignment in the area and checked Yelp for a place to have avocado toast and coffee. And found beautiful velvety Flora! I love how clean, quite spacious and feminine this cafe is...but what I like most is NO laptops. Only women enjoying their lattes, their croissants, their friends. Nice nice atmosphere. One of the most beautiful, artsy bathrooms I have seen lately (of course brought the camera with me:). My capuccino was perfect and so was my avocado toast but I found it pricey for what it was, considering there was no egg and not much avocado content. Presentation very nice. Overall great experience. read more

Have ordered a to-go salad from Flora before, but I asked my hubby if we could go here for a quick date a couple weekends ago and I think we enjoyed it...? We were both pretty low energy since we had a busy Saturday prior but we had a good, slow morning here. First you place your order at the counter and then let the cashier know if you're going to have a to-go order or dine in. To note, we thought we could sit at the tables outside but they're more of a general sitting area as there are a couple food spots right next to each other in this plaza so if you are dining in, you're limited to only indoor seating. You can however, order to-go and choose to sit right outside if you please. The decor is very cute-sy, with bright colors and florals and pretty dishware to match. I ordered the lavender matcha and my fave kale-quinoa salad from there. Hubby ordered the Dahlia and a chicken pesto panini. Both were excellent choices, beautifully light but still flavorful. Our drinks also hit the spot and were refreshing as well. I personally am only giving 4 stars because I wish there were a couple more choices I can choose from, but I know this is a smaller cafe. I do also need to try their pastries. I did find myself staring at the pastries case but I didn't want to pull the trigger since my meal as is already had me full. I'll just have to keep coming back here then! read more

Beautiful, little café that has several matcha and coffee drinks. There's also food options if you like to eat but I got a Coconut Matcha. It was good! Coconut water and matcha, if you're not a coconut fan or, matcha without milk isn't your thing you probably wouldn't like this. I also got the Strawberry matcha, the strawberry compote was delicious alongside the matcha! The service was good. read more

Cute coffee café located in Bonita, in the same plaza as Vons, Wells Fargo, and TJ Oysters. I ordered a pistachio croissant, a carrot cake croissant plus 2 drinks an iced vanilla latte and a flat white, both were smooth, flavorful, and perfectly made. The staff is friendly, prompt, and efficient. They offer more than just coffee and lattes -- you'll also find cold-pressed juices, avocado toast, sandwiches, breakfast, pastries, and more. Complementary water flavored with fresh fruit and cucumber, extremely refreshing. It's dine-in only, and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting -- perfect for relaxing or catching up with a friend. Prices are moderate to slightly high, but the quality and service make it worth it. Definitely a hidden gem in Bonita! read more

I had to try this place since I've had this place bookmarked in my Yelp ever since it opened! Love the floral decor, refreshing drinks, and yummy pastries. What we had - Citrina - This latte was super refreshing with notes of orange. Perfect drink for the summer. Lemon Zinger with Lavender syrup - Love this combo! Highly recommend Carrot Cake Croissant- First time I've had this and this was so good! Greek Chicken Wrap - This also comes with a side salad. This dish has a little too much olives for our taste but otherwise it was a great dish to share. Tip - 90 minute dining limit due to limited seating available. Service was pretty good and food arrived timely. Definitely will come back again to try other items. read more

This place is so cute and you would never expect it to be in this shopping center! It's right next to Everbowl and Vons - a charming place with yummy food and drinks! I got the prosciutto sandwich which was a bit oily and salty but I chowed down. It does come with a side salad to make it healthier! My friend got the chai, the chocolate pastry and a yogurt bowl. All of it looked delicious and beautiful! The atmosphere was really what made it nice. There's ample seating inside and even outside, but I'm gonna say the inside is a lot cuter! They also have a variety of specialty drinks that I really wanted to try, but I just wanted to sandwich this time. There's a lot of Matcha options like a pomegranate Matcha that intrigued me. I thought it was a bit pricey for this area, but maybe this is the new norm! A great place for a girl time catch up! read more

Recently discovered this coffee shop and was very impressed. The decor is adorable, it has a big enough space to chill with a laptop and work or study. I had their Iced Nectar Latte which is a honey/cinnamon and went back another day to try their Bloom and Berry Latte. Both were very good but my favorite out of the two was definitely the Bloom and Berry Latte. read more

Cute little hang out place! Plenty of parking. Had their strawberry garden and tropical mango matcha. Not too sweet and they were good!!! Customer service is awesome!! read more

A friend wanted to come here and I told her I hated it but would try again maybe a different drink. We get there and the cashier looked miserable didn't even make eye contact & said they were all out of matcha amongst many other things. I ended up not ordering anything bc her attitude was so poor and honestly if I'm going to pay $10 for a drink I'd want it to taste good. My friend ordered a drink she of course hated it because well the drinks are bad. She tried to go give it back because it tasted so bad and the cashier said "I need a receipt" as if she had memory loss she said "how do I know you got this here" .... Because you literally just rang it up? Horrible service horrible drinks. I regret even giving it a second try. read more

Cute little sit down cafe new to Bonita! The decor is adorable! I tried the breakfast sandwich and chai tea latte, both delicious! They opened at 7:30AM but didn't serve breakfast until 8:00AM. I'll definitely be returning! Such a cute spot to hangout with the gals! WiFi is available so it's a great location for remote work. They ask for a 90min time limit to allow for other guests to sit. read more

One of the best cafe I've been to this year by far! I love the ambiance here! This place is a great meet up stop for friends or family to catch up and talk. Their drinks are so delicious that I wanted to order two lol. The food was also good. And let's talk about their service here! They are soooo hospitable and accommodating. I can see myself having a long conversation with them that I will cause a line! And I'm not going to lie I actually have and I apologize for the people behind me. With that said, what are you waiting for? Stop reading this and go to Flora Cafe. Love their matcha! read more

This is a great little cafe addition to Bonita! Laid back vibes with a variety of brunch, bakery, and drink menu items. I ordered the matcha latte with brown sugar (10/10) and sourdough cinnamon roll (6.5/10). The matcha latte was flavorful with the brown sugar and tasted very smooth. The sourdough cinnamon roll is not like a traditional cinnamon roll as the sourdough makes it more like a flakey pastry. Flora Cafe has a lot of potential. Will definitely try more menu items in the future. read more

Such a cute cafe. Much needs in the area for a quick pick me up or sit in healthy breakfast spot. The ambiance is great very cute pick decor and velvet seating against the wall. I absolutely love the wallpaper is makes the space so inviting. They restroom is also very cute with the decor selection. Service was great. The employees was very attentive to the customers. The cashier informed us the pastries are made in-house. I ordered the oatmeal and my husband ordered the breakfast sandwich. The oatmeal was definitely on the fresh side as in not sweet, but they added to dates the hint of sweetness to it. I personally like my oatmeal a little bit more on the sweet side using milk instead of water. The breakfast sandwich looked delicious. I also ordered a Matcha latte, and that was the perfect sweetness. The café is located in a plaza, so there is plenty of parking and outdoor seating provided by the plaza. There is a lot of seating inside the actual café. There is breakfast and lunch items available to order. I will be back to try out their lunch options. read more

Came twice in the past two days bc the drinks were really good. Its a really cute, aesthetic spot. You can grab coffee, hang out or study with a 2 hr time limit bc the space is small. I solely came to try the coffee, but next time will dine in and try out their food. I like how their specialty coffee drinks are named after flowers. The first time I came I ordered the Peony with oat milk. It was super delicious bc of the balance of the coffee & hazelnut. You can tell they use quality espresso. It didn't taste watered down or milky. Second time I ordered the Nectar and the Citrina, for my husband. The nectar was simple and lightly sweet. The citrina was refreshing with the orange zest. Both times the service was friendly and quick. Will be coming back soon. Love that it's close by. read more

Love the decor! Love the crew, the service & the very attentive & friendly owner! Food is great, too! We had tomato basil bisque with toast & the avocado toast, yum! I'm was a fan of their Flora Chai, which is why I left home early so I can get the flora chai again on my way to work, but this time, it was too gingery - I guess it depends on who or how they make it. I'll be back, though, I love having breakfast here - the ambience very welcoming read more

This coffee shop and cafe is a great addition to Bonita - San Diego. They are offering excellent espresso based beverages and matcha lattes, not to mention some great eats as well. I've been here a couple of times, and I have had two cortados, the avocado toast, and a sourdough cinnamon roll. The cortados have been well made. They have been rich in flavor with a slight nutty finish. The basic avocado toast was delicious. It came on an artisan sourdough toast, freshly spread of avocado, cherry tomatoes, Persian cucumbers, lemon juice, salt, and tender mico greens for $11.95. The toast was vibrant and quite delicious. I do recommend this item. The sourdough cinnamon roll was unique to say the least. it was very flavorful and not overly sweet, with a hint of sourdough towards the end. The texture was different than most because it had a bit of a chew and elasticity. They warm it up and then put icing on top. The roll cost $5. Good stuff. The place is quite lovely inside. It offers plenty of seating inside and outside. They offer breakfast, lunch, and smoothies, too. The ladies who own and were here with their staff are all very nice and welcoming. read more

I was craving a matcha and came here on a whim after washing my dog in the same shopping complex. They had a menu outside of their storefront which was nice to see prior to entering. I ended up ordering a lavender matcha or "lilac" with almond milk and my got my husband a beet juice. I was greeted upon entrance and helped in a timely manner. The ambience is clean and trendy! If you consider coming in to eat, enjoy a beverage, or get work done here, there is a 90 minute limit time to sit in as they would like to give others an opportunity to enjoy the space in case it gets too crowded. I would love to sit down and grab a bite to eat here - hopefully next time! I'm a sucker for Caesar wraps and will be ordering that next time I come in! read more

When I came here, it was my first visit to FC. I met my former supervisor here and while she had one of their hot signature bougie coffee offerings and a breakfast avocado toast of some sort, I just had a hot black Americano. I really liked this coffee shop! They use beans roasted by Cafe Moto, a very popular local roaster in San Diego. They weren't too busy, maybe only 2 other occupied tables during my visit. Their restroom was clean, service was friendly & hospitable, prices were consistent with other mom & pop coffee shops in the Bonita/Chula Vista area. The parking was plentiful as that west side parking area of the strip mall isn't too close to the Vons. The coffee was on point, sound inside the cafe wasn't too loud, and I would definitely visit again. read more

Finally, some truly delicious food and coffee in the area! I stopped in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. I arrived just before the rush, so my order came out quickly, perfect timing! The space itself is adorable, with charming floral touches that make it feel warm and inviting. I tried the chicken pesto panini sandwich along with the floral chai, and both were absolutely delicious. I also love that they offer fun seasonal drinks for the holidays, which adds a festive touch. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I'll definitely be coming back! read more

My sis and I were so excited to stumble upon this place. We were looking for a cute coffee shop to sit and chat. When we got here it wasn't too busy, my sis ordered ahead of me and got a table. I got my drink quickly, unfortunately my sister didn't. We started noticing it was getting busier and other people that came after us were getting their food AND drinks. Trying to give them more time, we weren't even acknowledged. My sister went up and politely told them she's missing her drink, all they said was "it's on its way". Disappointed we sat and waited more, served 2 more people before getting my sister's drink. Making that a total of 6 people served (that ordered after us) before my sister got her ONE drink! When the server got to us she didnt a word! Not a "we so sorry about that" "thank you so much for your patience " NOTHING. Very disappointed with our experience here. There's PLENTY of other coffee shops in that area to go. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE read more

My mocha was absolutely delicious. Place is super cute. Service is meh, no one smiles or is polite but I'd rather have great coffee.

The place was cute and roomy. The drinks i ordered was a matcha lavender along with hot chocolate milk for my nephew. The matcha was ok I couldn't taste the lavender and the matcha wasn't ceremonial. The girl with the long hair who took my order needs to work on her customer service as she sees me but doesn't take my order right away or tells me she'll be with me in just a moment. But the girl with boy cut hair was nice enough to ask me if i was ready to order read more

Very cute coffee shop in Bonita. Even before commenting on the coffee, the interior itself is so well thought out and has a lot of detail, it's fun just to look around and admire it. Now onto the coffee. It's super smooth. I had a latte so there was flavoring but the taste wasn't overpowering to the actual coffee, it was very well balanced.
