Bruce D.

Excellent food. Build your own entree. Service was quick , Food delivered to your table, per a number flag ure given. cleanup was efficient and un rushed. Dining area is clean and modern.

Mediterranean Chicken Kabob
Alexa G.

A great healthy lunch spot! They have a great menu of different options - salads, bowls, wraps, etc. And a variety of drinks too. Their lemonade was really good and not overly sweet. I got the Mediterranean chicken kabob bowl and it was super yummy! You order at the counter and then they bring the food out to you. And the inside was super cute. They also have a covered patio which would be nice to sit outside when it's warm. I would definitely come back!

Chopped Vegetable Salad
Alex L.

Clean and healthy feeling food! They have a variety of bowls and salads. Tried the chopped vegetable salad which was tasty, definitely a very gingery dressing. It was exactly what I needed.

Peruvian Braised Beef

While visiting Boulder my wife and I were happy to find Flower Child. Of course we only have so much time while visiting and want to try so many places but Flower Child was so good we had to have it twice in such a short time. The food was so fresh and flavorful and the abundance of gluten free options really was fantastic. And of course that chocolate chip cookie really hit the spot. Especially after letting it warm up a little in the sun! We will gladly come back next time we are in town. The staff was very friendly and helpful and attentive to keeping things flowing smoothly. There is ample indoor seating and a nice outdoor space as well.

Salad with grilled chicken  nice sangria and lemonade also
Bill M.

Very excellent place for a healthy meal whereby you don't feel like...well... crap after you eat there. Very tasty salads and a very good fruit side dish Go there... Again!

Thai Chicken & Shrimp Meatballs
Cheryl H.

What a cute place! They have a very healthy fresh menu with interesting items and combinations. The Thai chicken meatballs were incredible, the dish looks small but it was so filling. They have a variety of drink options to choose from including rose petal lemonade and tea. The service was fast and the place was very busy, very popular.

Kitchen

A solid option if you are wanting casual fast healthy food. Order at the counter and build your own meal or choose from one of the preset options. We've gotten food to go and eaten inside many times. My family loves this place - good or vegetarian options. I personally find it a little bit pretentious, like they are trying too hard to be "Boulder".

Miso crunch salad with steak and steak entree with cauliflower risotto and maple butternut squash
Sophie W.

First off the food was amazing! Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious, the steak was imo perfectly done and the portions were large, I loved the risotto and squash as well! The server and cashiers were all very nice and their service was fast. I also saw a customer complaining to the staff about the food and they handled it extremely well when he was being rude. The place also had amazing ambiance it was well lit, clean and the decoration were beautiful!

Avocado Caesar w/ chicken
Hannah M.

Ate lunch here for the first time today, and it was so delicious! Portions are generous and the quality of the food is amazing--definitely worth the price. We got the ginger miso crunch with salmon (cooked medium rare, as requested) and the avocado caesar with chicken. I couldn't believe how generous they were with the avocado! I don't think I've ever been given this much at any restaurant...like ever. Please don't change that, because that would be such a disappointment. Also, props to flower child for actually cooking our salmon to medium rare--you'd be surprised how many restaurants, even in Hawaii, mess that one up and ignore the customer's request. Loved the ambiance and the option to sit indoors or outdoors. Staff was nice as well, which can make or break a dining experience. I'd definitely return and would consider doing take out in the future. Highly recommend.

Slit Brussels Sprout Saad and Chicken Enchilada Bowl (split so there was another two plates for my wife).

Stopped by Flower Child in Boulder, was looking for a place to be outside with our dog on the patio, as well as some Gluten free food options. They didn't disappoint, my wife and I split the Brussels Sprout and Kale Salad along with the Chicken Enchilada Bowl(she is not GF and loved both). Both were amazing and they split the plates for us. We will come back when in town. Highly recommend.

Strawberry salad
Paula C.

While traveling I try to be extra conscious of my eating habits. So often it's tempting to just grab and go with something quick that's not nutritious. My girlfriend recommended we try Flower Child in Boulder while we were out and about. The atmosphere is beautiful, the staff are very kind, the food taste so fresh and clean. I ordered the strawberry beet salad & Thai wrap. Both taste absolutely fresh and amazing. I felt full, energized after lunch and didn't feel like I needed a nap!

Lemon Olive Oil Cake
Loreto D.

Omg! I would totally come back to this place. The quality of the healthy yumminess is right up my alley and the ambiance is wonderful! There's indoor/outdoor dining available. The workers are nice too.

Kale Salad side
Tracie L.

This place was great. It felt really inviting. The atmosphere was great. The food was delicious. The staff was good, not great, but you don't interact with them much, so that's fine. I had a bowl and added chicken, it was really good. My husband had a wrap and liked it. I also got a kale side salad and he got a GF Mac & cheese salad. We liked all of it. The sweet potatoes were amazing!! The lemon avocado (I think that's what it was) dressing was delicious. I also got a cashew Choc chip cookie. It was good. I'd definitely return and would like one closer to home.

I'm so glad we ate at Leaf while in town! Everything we ate was amazing. The Executive Chef Lauren…read moredefinitely has talent and loves what she does - and it shows in the food. We tried a lot of things on the menu and liked each dish. But our absolute favorites were the kimchi sweet potato fries (this was a crowd favorite dish and we're still dreaming about it), ginger chili potstickers (so good!), and the hot fudge cake with ice cream for dessert (melt in your mouth warm chocolate cake with ice cream, it was 10 out of 10). We also enjoyed the butternut penne, everything crunch salad, and butternut squash arancini which were all delicious. Also, the bread deserves its own shout out - very soft and warm, and still rich in flavor. Easily the best bread I've had in a long time. Service was great with a friendly and attentive staff. Ambiance was warm, inviting, cozy and sophisticated. Would definitely recommend stopping here to anyone!!

I've been here many times in a variety of ways--sat at the bar, at tables with friends and by myself, both inside and outside, and even experienced the large farm table prix fixe menu, which was fantastic. My experiences have consistently been great--the food, service, and atmosphere have always been top-notch. Tonight, however, was my first disappointing visit. I ordered the root vegetable bruschetta, which was very good. I also ordered the butternut squash penne pasta, a dish I've had before and really enjoyed. Unfortunately, this time it was extremely spicy. I'm not sure if the recipe has changed or if it was just a heavy hand in the kitchen, but it was not something I could eat. I mentioned it to the waiter, who didn't have an answer, so I simply asked for a to-go container. Since I couldn't eat it, I later gave the container to a homeless woman sitting nearby with her grocery cart. On my way out, I spoke with someone at the door who brought over the manager. The manager asked if he could see the dish, so I opened the container for him. He then asked if he could taste it and reached in, picked up a noodle, and tried it, saying he didn't notice anything unusual. He also wasn't aware of any changes to the recipe. I suggested that if the dish is now spicy, it might be helpful to note that on the menu so guests know what to expect. What left me disappointed wasn't just the dish itself, but how the situation was handled. There wasn't an offer to replace the meal or provide an alternative, which would have gone a long way. As someone who is only about six months into living in Colorado and a new business owner in the area, I often refer places I believe in. Tonight left me questioning whether I will continue to recommend Leaf based on how this was handled, though I'm hopeful that by tomorrow morning I may feel differently. That said, based on my many past positive experiences, I still believe Leaf is a great restaurant. I just hope this was an off night and that a little more attention is given to both consistency in the kitchen and how concerns are handled moving forward.

First off note that they are no longer on Pearl but on Alpine next to Santo in the shopping center…read morewith Ideal Market/Alpine Whole Foods. I'll get the Yelp page fixed later today. We had heard of this cafe as they had been food hosts at a party at a Kühl on Pearl and were hoping to actually eat in their cafe when they coincidentally moved next door to one of our favorite local eateries. We were in the neighborhood around lunchtime so we stopped in when we arrived it was busy, by the time we left, it was packed. It's a unique menu fit for most palates and healthy as can be. It attracts athletes if all ages, healthy eaters of all types. You won't find much meat but there is some. It also as an Asian flair with offerings of congee and fried chicken sides, fish, rice and veggies of all sorts including kimchi . Japanese egg salad sandwiches too. That's one I need to try next time. Today we both chose the mushroom congee with 7 minute egg and a hot drink. A spicy chai with oat milk for my husband and berry hibiscus tea for me. We both enjoyed our meals but just a bit too much garlic for me but just right for my husband and must others too. I loved the volumes of mushrooms and the sprinkles of spices on the whole egg. The egg was done perfectly. My husband brought home a side order of popcorn chicken as I will be at a meeting so he will be eating dinner alone. The service was great, everyone friendly and helpful the cafe bright and clean and the ordering counter moves fast. They deliver to and clear the tables. More quick casual places should do this to avoid the piles of debris at bins in the seating area I often see. There is a flat panel screen on the wall featuring cyclists in the wild given that energy snacks were the first products of this company and much for sale here too. The mix of diners covered the spectrum of adults you would expect in Boulder. This cafe is only breakfast and lunch so come when convenient earlier in the day. Parking is free and always available in this center. Lots of construction around the intersection so plan your trip to get into the lot via Alpine and not Broadway. That Broadway construction will be ongoing for a while. It's also a good place to arrive by bike. Pricing was very affordable and variety of meals wide.

We were greeted by a great hostess with an excellent sense of humor. They were able to accommodate our party of 7 at a round table that still had plenty of elbow room for all of us. Our server, Michelle, greeted us right away and provided recommendations on their coffee and drinks. She was energetic and fun - we loved her genuine interaction with us! The food came fairly quickly considering they were nearly full. I chose the cinnamon roll French toast (chef's kiss!!) and hubby had the basic breakfast. We shared our meals so we could each have something sweet and savory. My niece had the Heartland Skillet and said it was to die for! I don't think there was much on the menu where you could go wrong. And bonus - they offer a breakfast cocktail for 99 cents with an entree order. You can get up to 3. This is an excellent choice for brunch (service and food!) and we will return next time we are in Boulder!

Suggested rating: 4 stars Good food, clean space, friendly staff, and fair prices. The turkey sandwich alone is worth a return trip. Review: Solid lunch spot, would go back. We found Naked Lunch through Yelp AI after touring Celestial Seasonings nearby, and it delivered. The menu is bigger than you'd expect. Hot sandwiches like the Reuben, Banh Mi, and Spicy Turkey. Cold sandwiches on ciabatta like the Turkey, Italian, Brie + Apple, and a Hummus option. Salads too, including a Michigander with goat cheese, apples, and dried cherries. I went with the turkey on ciabatta with Swiss, Dijon mustard, cucumbers, mixed greens, and pickled red onions. The bread was soft and fresh, not the dry ciabatta you get at a lot of places. One of the better turkey sandwiches I've had in a long time. The vibe inside is casual and fun. Colorado Avalanche flag hanging up, chalkboard menus, fresh flowers on the tables. They have draft beer on tap and cocktails too. Wasn't crowded when we went, so we grabbed a spot inside where it was nice and quiet. Restrooms were spotless. Easy parking right out front. Four of us ate for $66 total. Sandwiches run $13-$15 and the salads are around $11-$14. Hard to beat for the quality. Staff was friendly, patient, and brought food to our table. Next time I'm trying the Cobberado salad. If you're near Celestial Seasonings, stop here for lunch.

Maybe rightly so as their specialized ingredients are harder to get. We sat inside this time though we used to go mostly mid summer and sit out. The patio was jam full last night so we ate inside where it was quite empty early evening during happy hour. My husband had the happy hour special of the evening, a very large serving of large mussels with grilled sourdough and a lucious broth. We also had some small plate tapas and I mostly grazed those. I love Bocarones and they do it so well though for me last night, the peppers were a bit too spicy. But I got the majority of the little fishies, my husband the peppers.. We also had the tortilla papas and the charred Hazel Dell mushrooms which were excellent. The little salad topping on the tortilla was full of specialty greens like fennel fronds and pea shoots. The mushrooms has a warm egg yolk on top to stir into the dressing which was tasty. We finished with their flan which was as good as my Spanish born neighbor made in my youth. I had a very nice tea with it. I was originally going to knock off a star for pricing but honestly, I don't think they have much option these days. But sadly we will go less frequently in the future.
