| - New. Favorite. Restaurant.
Discovered Flower Child just a day before they opened, in passing. Then, miraculously *cough* an ad popped up on my Facebook letting me know that it was to open the next day! Excited, I took my sister and her boyfriend with me on opening day and we all loved it SO much that I brought my boyfriend with me the very next day!
The atmosphere is wonderful. Very Instagram-y and it really has this cute California vibe. When you walk in, you will find a to-go ordering counter and a dine-in ordering counter. Dining in, you'll place an order, they'll give you a number stand and you find your own table where they'll bring your food out to you.
The menu is medium-ish sized, but the number of combinations you can make with all of the items are endless. In the two times I've gone, I ordered the Avocado Toast (10/5!!! AMAZING) and the Mother Earth bowl (5/5). I can't tell you just how much I loved both. I added two proteins to my bowl: the Tofu (5/5) and the Salmon (5/5). The Avocado Toast is the best I've ever had (and I am a HUGE avocado toast fan) and all of the ingredients of the bowl are PHE-NOM-ENAL! The Tofu is a super firm, seasoned tofu. It's delicious and unlike any store-bought tofu I've ever tried. The Salmon was cooked perfectly with even a little crispiness around the edges.
The Avocado Toast was and will likely always be my all-time favorite. The avocado is roughly mashed, still chunky. They top it with crunchy sea salts (yum!), black sesame seeds, white cheddar (I mean, WOW) and chunks of soft-boiled eggs (droooooool). The coolest part is that they cut the toast into 3 slices for easy eating! NO mess and NO falling ingredients!
Opening days for restaurants can sometimes be pretty obviously hectic, stressful and a bit of a chaotic mess (even for the patrons). However, despite the line of customers out the door, service was quick, friendly, polite and extremely seamless! I was very impressed and I couldn't wait to come back the next day with my boyfriend to share in the amazingness that is Flower Child. (FYI: he LOVED it. And he didn't think he was going to!) I will be back. Again and again and again and again...
