This was a really interesting restaurant and absolutely perfect for a work day lunch with friends. Counter service moves quickly and it was easy to find a table when we arrived at 11:30 on a Thursday, but there was a line out the door before we finished our meal. I had checked online and was concerned about portion size, but the meals were perfectly portioned. I got the chicken enchilada bowl and it was very yummy. It was a little spicier than I was expecting and the "sauce" was almost a queso, but it was incredibly fresh and light and I didn't finish it. A friend ordered sweet potato fries and a lemon cupcake for us th split. The fries were jus barely overcooked so they kept sticking to my teeth, but the dilly-heavy ranch sauce was divine and went perfectly with the sweet fries. The lemon cupcake was super moist and delicious. I wish I had paid more attention and gotten infused water from the entry instead of the plain water from the dispenser. Perfect lunch, will definitely go back! read more

Beautiful and delicious! The staff is so kind, specially Manuella at the front! The decor is lovely and the food is good for your body and your smile! read more

You don't have to be vegetarian to love the healthy dishes here ! Such a wide variety of healthy and smart choices. A great set up where you order and then can sit anywhere. Huge parking lot so it's super convenient. I've never had a bad dish, as far as dine in is concerned. I'm sure carry out is the same. Give this a go! read more

I came on a Saturday night. The parking lot was full, but places near the front door opened up. The people behind the counter are friendly and helpful, and certainly would help you make a choice of entree if you asked! It was a beautiful day, so there were several parties sitting out on the cute patio, but we chose to sit inside. Our entrees came out pretty quickly, and looked great. We asked a food runner if she could take a picture of our group, and she took only good pics. Ive never had a less than awesome experience here, and today was no different. One thing to keep in mind, however, is the noise level. It gets loud enough that it is hard to have a conversation. It never stopped me from talking though! read more

Gorgeous place outside and in! Employees were friendly and helpful. I had mixed feelings about the food. It was different from what I expected. The sweet potatoes fried came out lukewarm and kind of soggy. The kale salad was chewy and one-note, heavily coated in dressing. The glow bowl was fine--sweet potato noodles were noodles made of potatoes rather than made with them (like pasta) and nice and crunchy. Some of the chicken was dry. read more

WOW! I wish we didn't inhale our food before I got a picture. Met up with my dad, stepmom, grandma, brother along with my husband and daughter. My dad is the only vegan one and it's hard to find places where he can have a good amount of choices. Found this place just googling and so happy we stumbled upon it! I feel it's more vegan/vegetarian based but has plenty of meat options as well! The atmosphere was so adorable and "boujee". We loved loved loved everything about this establishment. It's about 45 mins from us, but we will definitely be back again! Wonderful staff and great, flavorful food! read more

Tasty and healthy options. I had the poke bowl and felt full after. They bus your table. Nice people, too. Dad left his phone on the table, and they held it for us for the 40 or so min it took us to notice and get back. read more

Have ordered here twice dairy free and the food is like a gourmet home cooked meal. Lovely food. Will keep ordering from here.

I had a really nice visit to Flower Child! I got the Bang Bang Beef (limited-time dish) and the chicken enchiladas. I will say, the price was a little on the higher end, but the staff was incredibly kind and efficient. One dish came out a bit faster than the other, but they were super sweet about it. The Bang Bang Beef was definitely the crowd favorite, and it's easy to see why. The interior was beautiful, and the patio was perfect for a sunny day which is great for a quick lunch with friends or family if you're in the Frontenac area. Overall, a solid spot! read more

First let me call out the team at Flower Child for their continued awesome level of service. I have a delightful experience every time I come by and I'm in there almost every week at some point for lunch or dinner. Food quality is always on point too. Fresh vegetables and greens in the salads. Perfectly cooked proteins. I'd recommend the salmon or steak on the chopped vegetable salad any time. Can't miss healthy and flavorful eats and good service in a clean establishment. Gotta love it!! Enjoy!!! read more

Get the macaroni and cheese. You order first, then they set you up with a table. Came here for a working lunch, unfortunately it was a bit loud for the work we wanted to do, due to its fantastic location, the library is right across the street. I am trying to increase protein in my diet and even though the menu took me a second to figure out, it is set up very well. You pick a protein, then pick the 2 sides you want with it. I was feeling cheesy, so I got the Mac and cheese and the cauliflower risotto. Strange combination, but I'm glad I got to try them. If I was still doing keto/low carb I would have loved the risotto, but next to the mac and cheese, M&C was the best. So creamy, great flavor, it is gluten free, but there were some delightful crumbles on top. The salmon was cooked to perfection, I definitely look forward to getting salmon here again. Service, was minimal, but also very good. Since you pay and order at the front, it was a delight that they also checked on us when we were eating. read more

Wow, it's like an addiction at this point.. I can't stay away. My go to is the steak entree with the smashed gold potato and sweet corn & quinoa. Occasionally, I'll get the chicken entree with the same sides. Or their famous avocado Caesar - this dressing is to die for! I've tried the kung POW cauliflower, gluten free Mac and cheese, red chili glazed sweet potato, roasted broccoli, and sweet potato fries (get extra of their house made yogurt ranch)! Honestly, you can't go wrong with any decision you make here. I'll forever be a proud regular at Flower Child. read more

I love this spot and come here often with friends. I would describe this place as a perfect spot for lunch or dinner with the girls. Cute decor and a health consideration menu that feels indulgent while hitting all of your macro goals! You order your meal at the register, take a number, and find your seat. Then, one of the friendly workers will bring you your meal. Drinks (excluding alcohol) are self-service, as are utensils. The menu focuses on whole foods and had plenty of vegan and gluten-free offerings (important to my friends!) I usually get the shrimp bowl with cauliflower risotto and chili glazed sweet potato but I have also tried their glow bowl (pictured) and their ginger miso salad, both of which I enjoyed. This place isn't cheap, but I feel the value is appropriate when you factor in health and ambiance. Could you make it cheaper yourself? Sure. But would you? read more

The food was great. I had the Mother Earth Bowl with a side of sweet potato fries. The fries came with a rich yogurt dipping sauce that was delicious. The bowl contained ancient grains, sweet potato, portobello mushroom, avocado, cucumber, broccoli pesto, charred onion, leafy greens, red pepper miso vinaigrette, and hemp seed. It was really good. I loved all the flowers and decor inside. I especially liked the tables and chairs. The service was great as well. My fries were lukewarm and I asked for warm fries and the server/runner gladly replaced them with hot fries. read more

Very interesting restaurant. Right away when we entered, a guy asked us if we are dining in, and he assigned us a number and put said number on a table for us. We ordered at the counter and headed to the table he chose for us. The food potions are small, but very well seasoned and delicious. I guess they did say they are a health forward restaurant. The place is very lively and nicely decorated. Price is very reasonable. Nice drink selection. Located right next to Plaza Frontenac so there are plenty of parking outside. read more

Flower child is an elevated but fast casual restaurant that offers a variety of healthy but tasty food options. This restaurant is conveniently located next to the Frontenac mall/lifetime fitness. The service is counter service and then the staff bring out the food to you. They offer a variety of salads, bowls, wraps, and entrees. I ordered the chicken Yaki soba with tofu on top and a side of gluten free Mac and cheese. The sauce on both dishes was tasty but I did need to add extra salt to the tofu/Yaki soba noodles. Overall I enjoyed the meal. I do think it is a bit pricy but I would come back if I were looking for a healthy option and am in a pinch. read more

I've heard great things about this place and decided to check it out. I came around 12 for lunch and it wasn't overly crowded but steady. The staff is so nice and friendly and could tell we were new. I wanted to try their lemonade but once I saw the sangria, i had to give it a try. They give you a number and you seat yourself. The tables are close to each other but still a cool environment for lunch. Since this was our first time coming, I didn't know you could grab your napkins and utensils by the drink station but the staff grabbed these items for me after handing me my food. The avocado caesar salad with chicken added was really good. I enjoyed the avocado dressing that came with it. I can't recall what my friend ordered but she said it was really good too. Maybe a little salty but still really good and she would order again. The sangria was really refreshing and so tasty. So many other menu options I would like to try which means I'll return for more. read more

I was a little intimidated by this spot because of my food allergies being all over the menu, but they more than exceeded my expectations! Both people at the register were diligent to note my allergies on my order and provide me an allergen menu. My friend had the chicken Mediterranean bowl and said it perfectly balanced all of the flavors. I had the glow bowl with salmon which also knocked it out of the park. Fresh, clean ingredients to nourish you all in the cutest spot. Next time you're around here, stop in! read more

I went with a friend who is vegan since they had so many options, it was newer to so neither of us had been. It was so cute just walking in and the place wasn't packed, but it was busy. It was still early in the evening so no dinner rush just yet. We sat outside on the patio to enjoy the gorgeous weather. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the portions were pretty big so we both had to go boxes. The exchange when ordering was pleasant as we had never gone before and the lady was so nice and offered her suggestions and was able to break down the ingredients for us. I'll definitely be back! It's just a bit of drive for me. read more

I've had this place on my list for a while and my colleagues couldn't have picked a better day to come! We got there a little after 11 (which I was glad) and although there was a small line, it moved rather quickly. There were so many things I wanted to try but I finally decided on the Avocado Caesar with shrimp as a protein and a side of sweet potato fries. After ordering, they handed me a table number (open seating and there's plenty to choose from. Our food arrived after what seemed like mere minutes! I wasn't sure how big the portions would be but they were plentiful! The salad exceeded my expectations but the show winner was the dressing! It's not heavy and leaves a nice taste in your mouth. I'd describe it as a little tangy and would put the regular Caesar dressing to shame! The fries were pretty good but I wished they were as crispy as the other ones I saw. Overall, the food was well-seasoned and the portions were on point. I love the healthy concept and how friendly everyone was. I can't want to come back and try more dishes. read more

I tried Flower Child and went with the Mediterranean chicken kabob. The food was super fresh, tasty, and felt healthy without being boring. A couple of friends who are vegan came along and they had plenty of options too, which made it easy for everyone to enjoy. The vibe was busy but not overwhelming--we just missed the weekend lunch rush, so timing helped. It's counter service, so you order up front and they bring the food out to your table. Simple setup, good energy, and the food came out pretty quick. Overall, it's a solid spot if you want something flavorful and healthy without a lot of fuss. read more

I recently tried this place for lunch. I was drawn in by the healthy menu options as well as by all of the good things that I've heard about the establishment. I ordered the Mediterranean Chicken Kabob Bowl and I have to say that it was really good. The portion size was good and filling. I definitely plan to revisit in the future to try a few other items. Worth checking out if you like eating healthy whole foods. The menu also featured some Vegan and Gluten free options which I thought was a great accommodation for diners with food allergies. read more

Such a healthy and aesthetic place! I went for dinner time and it was busy with a limited amount of open parking spaces. The Mother Earth with grilled chicken was so good! Definitely a healthy meal! There was a bit of a wait for food. Staff will bring out your food to your table number. It's a calm, yet intentional space filled with all different types of people. This place is a little bit pricey, but it is also located in Plaza Frontenac. All of the staff was so friendly and helpful. So many options are on the menu, I can't wait to go back soon! read more

This is a cute looking restaurant, a part of the Cheesecake Factory group. Menu has a lot of variety and healthy options. You order at the front counter, get a number for your table and then are directed to get your water, napkins and tableware. We tried a couple of different dishes and liked everything. Food came out quickly and seemed pretty fresh. The wrap felt cold all the way through, so I suspect they are premade. The kung pow cauliflower had an odd sweet taste to it that reminded us of boxed cake mix. Maybe they share a sweetener? Nice outdoor patio to enjoy the weather and tons of seating, so it didn't feel crowded at all. Looking forward to trying more options again soon! read more

Wow! This place is incredible. I went with a friend for dinner on a Tuesday, it was not crowded. We ordered the avocado hummus, it was delicious but portion seemed small. Although we did not finish it so I guess in hindsight it was perfect. I ordered the Mother Earth bowl, really appreciate how well things are marked, as I am vegan. Got tofu on top although it was probably not necessary. Really filled me up!! Saw they had a vegan dessert but I don't care for chocolate so I passed on it. Recommend at least adding a vegan cookie!! Ambiance was off the charts with the decor. I can't wait to come back. read more

Flower Child - Brussels Sprouts & Organic Kale - Salad Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

Flower Chill is a modern, healthy spot in Frontenac with an open kitchen, lots of natural light, and even some outdoor seating. You order at the counter and they bring the food out, and the staff was super friendly and helpful. The portions lean light for the price, but the ingredients are clearly fresh and good quality. I had the Peruvian beef, which was tasty and paired well with their green sauce that has just the right kick. I also tried a bite of the quinoa with corn from someone else's plate -- super good. The mango, and the peach teas were flavorful and refreshing (unsweetened). A nice choice for a healthier casual meal. read more

I love that STL has a Flower Child. We have 2 of them in Scottsdale, but I didn't frequent them in AZ. It has the same bright and airy aesthetic, and employees have been helpful and pleasant. Favorites: Ginger Miso Crunch Salad - (vegan and gf). I add avocado. It's the perfect light and healthy meal for those of us on a clean-eating cleanse. Vegetarian Plate - You can choose 3 sides for this entree. I always choose the Cauliflower Risotto (omitting the breadcrumbs to make it gluten free) and the Yuzu Brussels Sprouts. Both dishes are phenomenal. The third option varies. Sometimes I'll add the Red Chili Glazed Sweet Potatoes. They are good, but not like "gotta have it" good. Other times I'll opt for the Roasted Broccoli (omitting the parmesan to make it vegan; omit breadcrumbs to make it gf as well). I do love the roasted broccoli. The Kung Pao Cauliflower was just ok, in my opinion. I do want to try more of their salad offerings and some of the bowls. My problem is that I'm so happy with what I typically order than I am hesitant to try the other things. Be sure to get their app so that you can earn rewards and money off future orders. They are located within the Plaza Frontenac parking lot, adjacent from Saks. read more

Recently moved back to St.Louis from Texas where they have Flower Child and I was so excited to see it move here! The food is fresh and has great flavor. Love a healthy meal that tastes good too! I had the forbidden rice bowl and really love it! Lord of options for non-meat eaters as well! I love the restaurant too. Plenty of seating indoors and outdoors for warmer days. I will note this location gets pretty busy. I've been a couple times now, once ordering in the restaurant and once ordering online. Depending on the day of the week, it may be a bit longer of a wait. I do wish there was a bit more clarity on expected wait times for food! Overall, I recommend trying Flower Child! A lot to try and enjoy! read more

Flower Child - Shrimp & chicken cabbage roll (seasonal) and side of Red Chile Glazed Sweet Potato - Salad Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

Flower Child is a great place for a quick, fresh, and healthy(ish?) meal. I've had it a few times now, and even though some items haven't been my fave, they have so many options that even the pickiest eater is bound to find something they like on the menu. On this trip I tried the Rebel wrap, which is their take on a French Dip. The horseradish was a bit overpowering for me, but the steak was delicious and I really like the wraps they use. The sweet potato fries were a little dry as well- I think I'll just stick to their veggies next visit, as the Kung POW Cauliflower and Roasted Broccoli are really tasty. I also love their mac & cheese, but my partner wasn't a fan. He did enjoy his Mother Earth bowl quite a lot. I hadn't dined in before, so it was nice to see their space. It's fresh and clean inside, with a great view into their kitchen. Even on a busy Sunday, our food was delivered to our table quickly. Really like the tea and lemonade options they have! read more

My husband and I went on a Wednesday afternoon around 2:30 for lunch. Our first visit. As you walk in the door, there is a small table with fruit infused water to tantalize your tastebuds. The place is decorated nicely, like a French Cafe, my guess. You are greeted at the ordering counter. I said it was our first time, asking what she could recommend. She pointed to the menu and said that any of the items are good. I expected questions of our likes/dislikes from the frontline person to help us make a choice. I ordered the Mother Earth bowl with tofu and my husband ordered one of the chicken wraps. My order came out first. What a beautiful bowl of goodness! The aroma was lovely: nutty, tart, green -all in one. Whole grains like wheat berries and quinoa, dressed arugula, sliced grilled tofu, shiitake mushrooms, sweet potato with a chipotle style sauce. Topped with half an avocado. Oh my! When I bit into the grains the flavors just popped all over my taste buds like salty, beefy little dancing orbs of flavor. I tasted each section of the ingredients lining the bowl. The flavors just kept building upon the last. To the embarrassment of my poor husband, my eyes kept popping wider and wider and the mmmm's getting louder. I could not help myself! The sauces and dressings for each section were flavorful, mildly spicy, and well-balanced with the rest of the ingredients. I ate half and saved the rest for later. I wanted to eat it all, but knew my aging body could only take so much excitement in one meal. I have one con. It took a good 10 minutes for my husband to receive his order after I was served. As with any customer experience in a restaurant, all guests should be served at the same time. In their defense, however, they did come out with free muffins and an apology to compensate for the wait. Well done! Just a note: when speaking to elderly people, please speak a tad slower so they can process what you are saying. We had a great experience at Flower Child. I will return for sure! I will update my Yelp Review when I go back. read more

Clean, medern aesthetic and an absolutely mouth-watering menu. My only problem was choosing from a ton of healthy options. I ordered the avocado caesar salad with salmon. It was filling and had the perfect ratio of dressing. I also ordered the iced green tea with Macha, which was very refreshing. Generally I would add some stevia or monk fruit, but the only sweeteners they had for it was cane sugar and splenda, which I thought was a little off brand since it caters to a healthy vibe. The waitstaff was friendly and though it was jam packed, they were extremely organized and efficient and the meal was well worth the wait! read more

Is this my new favorite spot for clean eating in STL?? Maybe!! I was impressed with Flower Child from start to end, we entered and were able to grab a cup of cold fruit water (perfect on the hot day that it was), and then we sipped on our waters while we waited in line to order. The line was long but went by pretty quickly! They have indoor and outdoor seating and the overall restaurant atmosphere is sooo lovely. My friend got the Spicy Tuna Poke Bowl, so good and great flavors, very fresh. I got the Mediterranean Chicken Kabob Bowl - absolutely loved it and hoping to recreate it at home myself (it probably won't be as good). They also had Yellowbird hot sauces available to add to your dishes. Can't wait to come back, there's so many other dishes on the menu I can't wait to try! read more
