| - Upon entering, you order at the front, in what they term a fast casual dinning style, are given a number, and take a seat...easy, right? Flower Child is quite airy and pretty inside, and the patio setting outside is attractive as well.
Five of us ordered:
- Chicken with Indian Spiced Cauliflower, Gluten-free Mac & Cheese, and Smashed Organic Potato.
- Chicken with Clementine & Organic Apple and Sautéed Spinach
- Thai Dye Wrap
- Flying Avocado Wrap
- Thai Cashew Quinoa with Salmon
We liked it so much that we came back for:
- Forbidden Rice Bowl
- Mother Earth Bowl
Flower Child serves healthy, simple, clean food...one might have thought the flavor to be simple as well...CERTAINLY NOT!!! Especially the Quinoa in the Thai Cashew Quinoa Bowl that I shared with my love...it is so good that I almost snuck into the back of the house to try and get the recipe. The salmon was cooked perfect. The Thai Dye was wrapped in a house made, whole wheat, flax & chia seed wrap that was warm and soft. Inside the wrap, the main protein is spicy tofu...spicy enough to notice the spice, but not so much to overpower the taste of all the vegetables inside of the wrap.
There is a self serve drink station with some of the usual suspects as well as a couple of lightly flavored lemonades that our girls enjoyed. Napkins, utensils, togo boxes, and bags are all organized right next to drink station...so if you need a box to go for the left over, just go grab it.
Unlike another health-oriented restaurant located across the street, FC's food has a decently good portion for the price...and it is so flavorful! They use local produce and Gluten light ingredients...but you can have many options as gluten free as well, though sometimes for an extra charge in the case of the gluten free pita for $1.50. Their protein choices are all natural chicken, sustainable Salmon, grass-fed Steak (they serve medium), and organic non-GMO Tofu.
Flower Child is a popular spot right now for good reasons. Make a point to stop by if you haven't already done so.
