Flower Child is my go-to spot for a healthy weekend lunch. Sometimes, it's my go to for a healthy weeknight dinner.
PROs: You can mix and match the proteins and the different formats easily--this means you can tweak your favorites, but you don't have to. The options are good for you, but still manage to feel decadent and often the flavor combinations are exciting (I love the sweet potato-broccoli pesto combo in the Mother Earth, and the heirloom beans - greek yogurt combo in the Late Riser). The roasted brussels and chili glazed sweet potatoes are both sides worth trying.
CONs: during rushes, the walk up and order situation is crowded and confusing and the dining room is not in the greatest of shape. Generally speaking, I'm not a fan of the whole "order and take your number yourself to a table." Once, I took a number and there were no tables... Which is to say, this seems like a system ripe for poor handling. I'm sure brunch here is great, but I'm not willing to fight the crowd to try it out.
I'm also taking a star off because the $7 avocado toast is ONE slice of toast with a quarter of an avocado and ONE egg. What is this, Manhattan? There's actually a picture of it on Y and it looks much more loaded... but caveat emptor that's a trick of scale. IT'S A SMALL PIECE OF BREAD.
