I really love this place! Here's the deal.. *Expect a wait during typical busy hours - we had a party of 5 on a Sunday morning (prime brunch time!) and had over 30 min wait. There were multiple parties waiting outside and the host/hostess would come outside and yell your name when your table was available. It was a bit chilly on our morning so be prepared as there is limited inside space for waiting parties. *The food is AMAZING. Everyone loved their food, no doubt about it. I got the southern platter (vegan) because I wanted to try a few different items. It came with a biscuit + mushroom gravy, tofu scramble, and garlicky greens. I also got a side of roasted potatoes - worth it, we all loved 'em. Decent sized portions but I certainly didn't have any food left for leftovers. They offer baked goods as well but I didn't sample any on this visit. *Drinks were underwhelming. I ordered my second latte of the day here and I must say, my first one was better. The mimosa was rather small (especially given the cost). Coffee was also small (hopefully that was unlimited refills?). *Decor is great. The wallpaper decor is fun and I love all the plants. Very cozy atmosphere when it was chilly outside! *It's a bit pricey. No surprise for this kind of spot. ...all in all, I look forward to visiting again. read more

Food and service was the best! We went there twice in a row . Breakfast and vegetarian options were great

It was my aunties birthday, and this is were she wanted to go. None of us are vegetarians, but I was really surprised. Everything was so flavorful that you wouldn't miss meat. I will definitely come again. read more

Food & Decor is very Instagram worthy if that's your thing, however the taste is meh. Honestly the most underwhelming vegan place I've ever had. Sad bc my amazing wife planned a surprise brunch for me here with friends and family. I left disappointed and hungry. All 6 of us agreed we wouldn't return. My dad raved about their biscuits and gravy everyone else's said they dishes were ok/ edible. The bread for my avocado toast was stale and way too thick. Can't taste the ingredients bc, and I never thought I'd be saying this, way too much bread. Cinnamon roll: Hard, didn't taste fresh; lacked icing. Wouldn't recommend. Sweet potato fries: these paired with the aioli was the best thing. All 6 of us agreed. Would highly recommend. Cherry waffle: again just meh. Poppyseed Pancakes: better than the waffle. Biscuits & gravy: my dad said even without meat they didn't feel lacking. read more

10/10 for Cafe Flora! From the service to the ambience, this place is a fricken BOP. Get your hungry vegan self up right now and go! Tell them I sent you! They will have no idea who I am, but you'll sound important and maybe you'll get a window seat or an extra ladle of gravy. B&G are my one true love, but those garlicky greens hit different. read more

Came to Cafe Flora with a friend and had a mixed experience. There was about a 20 minute wait and we had to stand in a line that went out the door/around the corner. Once we got to the front, the cashier was friendly and able to answer my questions about the menu. We ordered/paid and sat at a table outside. I ordered the lobster risotto and didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to. It was somewhat bland and came with a large pile of plain arugula on the side. The menu is limited, however they offer 1-2 seasonal options which adds some variety. Overall it didn't quite meet my expectations. read more

Beautiful spot right off Washington Park. The interior is well-designed and expansive, with various inside and outside seating areas. Everything is vegetarian with most things being able to be made vegan. I got their drip coffee ($4.25 plus tax; damn that's expensive) and their butternut & kale scramble with tofu ($16 plus tax; vegan). The coffee was on the weak side--very light roast with little depth. It's bottomless at least, but why drink weak bottomless coffee? The scramble came out within 10 minutes and was truly impressive. Wonderfully moist tofu spices to perfection with various curry-like spices, with great textures coming from the butternut squash and portobello mushrooms, and a little kale thrown in there. Intensely flavoured and wonderfully done. The roast potatoes were more like oily home fries, but still tasty. All in all, absolutely phenomenal scramble. The potatoes were good but rather oily, the coffee was on the weak side, and it's overall pricy. I'll definitely return to have more of that scrumptious scramble. Highly recommended. read more

My girlfriend's work was hosting a dinner here so she reserved us a spot at the dinner. They have a really nice private room that her work had all to themselves and it was a wonderful atmosphere to be in. Normally I probably would not seek out a vegetarian place but I am very happy I got the chance to go and try their food. We had a multi course menu where we all got a soup or salad, an entree and a dessert in addition to several shareable plates they brought out for us. Some of the shareable plates were hummus, empanadas and yam fries and they were all tasty snacks to munch on as we chatted and drank some drinks from the open bar. For my starter I chose a red pepper bisque and it was very flavorful! Others chose a spicy lentil soup and my gf chose a salad. The salad was just okay so I think I made the best choice! For the entree I chose a portobello mushroom wellington. We honestly got so much food so I was starting to feel a little full at this stage but my wellington was very good. It also came with potatoes and vegetables which were nice accompaniments with the mushrooms. When dessert came I was really full. I got a quince crisp as I prefer fruit desserts and it sounded like the lightest option. It came with coconut ice cream and it was also delicious! Trying a vegetarian restaurant may not be the norm for you if you are not a vegetarian but I would definitely recommend this spot. The service was great, the atmosphere was lovely and the food was tasty! read more

My wife and I visited Cafe Flora seeking a healthier restaurant in the Seattle area, which does seem to be few and far between. Parking is sparse, but there is street parking around the restaurant. The best part about Cafe Flora is the space itself. The outdoor patio is cosy, featuring some greenery and the soothing sounds of a water fountain. They also have a seating section with tall windows and some beautiful plants available. Cafe Flora is technically dog friendly, though I may be hesitant to bring my dog here. They're allowed in the outdoor patio, but the space is a bit small with tables incredibly close to each other. We wouldn't have brought our dog had we noted how close the tables were to each other and the size of the patio area. The overall service was fine. There was a bit of confusion in getting seated at first, but I suspect a lot of people pick food up from the restaurant throughout the day. Beyond that, the service was fine. Now the most important aspect, the food. As others have noted, it's mediocre at best from my initial impressions. My wife ordered a salad and I ordered a tartine. Other were incredibly underwhelming, especially considering the price. I'm not one to usually state "you can just make this at home," as it's a poor critique of any restaurant, but the salad was mixed greens with a couple of tomatoes, torn up bread and a couple of pieces of mozzarella. The dressing provided some life to it. The tartine was fine, I was whelmed. It was basically avocado toast with some grilled onions and somewhat seasoned corn. The seasoning was not enough to provide any flavoring to the large portion of avocado, which I did enjoy - it was just flavorless. I ordered a fried egg with my tartine and the egg was overcooked to point in which the yolk resembled the consistency of a hard boiled egg. Not exactly, but you get the idea. Overall, I'd be open to giving this place another chance to try their breakfast, but I'd never go back for their lunch. read more

This is a cute neighborhood spot with a couple good things on the menu; very vegan friendly! The drinks were very good and the service was very attentive and friendly. The food was a mix; the yam fries were delicious, but some of the other items were not amazing. We got the asparagus pizza (it was okay) and the risotto (pretty average). My mother and sister loved the loose leaf tea though. The desserts again were okay, but could have been better; they just didn't really blow our socks off. But this is a great find if you are vegan looking for a cute restaurant and a decent bite. read more

The ambience is very nice and the staff is very helpful and friendly. The place has both indoor and outdoor dining options. They do still enforce vaccination checks for indoor dining (no longer required in King County). They are great for anyone looking for vegetarian brunch places in the area. I had the Breakfast Platter and a Fig + Orange Latte. Highly recommend trying out this latte. My friends got the French Dip and their Yam Fries were pretty good. The vibe seems very chill and relaxed and service was too, so expect to spend an hour or so unless you're going for a quick bite. read more

Came here for Saturday brunch after driving past it a couple times and seeing good reviews. The ambiance and service was amazing. Our server was super nice and even suggested some places to go nearby because the weather was so nice. For drinks, I split a pot of spring green tea with 2 friends. It was fine and I wish I could say more about it but I'm not a tea connoisseur and it just tasted like green tea to me. It was rather subtle. For food, I ordered a corn and heirloom tomato scramble with cheesy grits off the brunch menu. The scramble was great. I liked the tart taste of the tomatoes in contrast with the seasoning from the dill and the richness of the cheese. Cheesy grits was interesting...not bad but not my style, and you should eat it fast before it cools and starts solidifying. Instead of cheesy grits you could also order rosemary potatoes, which my friend got, and they're roasted to a nice crisp on the outside and are nicely seasoned. For hungrier folks, the portion size might be a tad small and leave you feeling hungry again later. Overall, I liked the food enough and wouldn't mind coming back to try maybe their sweet brunch options next time. read more

Heard so much good stuff about Cafe Flora, and had an even higher expectations after we saw the line waiting outside. My friend and I went on a Saturday morning and waited for 20-25 minutes. Cornbread: On the dryer side, but loved the charred taste. Pairs well with the blueberry jam, but the clove butter was hard and too sweet. Cinnamon Roll: Definitely one of the best cinnamon rolls I had, and is worth the hype! Soft and moist in the center but a firm enough exterior texture. Both the roll and the frosting were not overwhelmingly sweet, and the pecans added a nutty flavor and crunch to the overall bite! Souther Platter: Love the tofu scramble (firm but very flavorful), not a fan of the biscuit. It was so dry and dense in texture, kind of hard to swallow. Even after soaking in the gravy, it was still too dense and feels like it was mot cooked all the way through. The garlicky greens were delicious! Super flavorful as well; the mushroom gravy was thick but light in the mouth, so it paired well with everything on the plate. Apricot & Apple Belgian Waffle: Really interesting texture because of the cornmeal (I personally like it a lot, but for those who prefers the standard waffle texture, this is not for you). Both the sage butter and fruit compotes were great, but the millet-quinoa crumble was the highlight. It added a really nice crunch to the overall dish. read more

I mean... it's good but I think it's too hyped. Fully vegetarian with kind staff, good cocktails/coffee and yummy tofu scramble, but overpriced. The black bean burger and yam fries was delish, especially with their house-made ketchup. If you're looking for a veg spot, think that Wayward is the best bang for your buck, but if you're looking for a nice dining experience with craft cocktails, cute walls, and fancier food, you'll love it!! :) read more

Love love love this place!! First of all the building itself is beautiful, we're we were seated had lots of windows & natural light. There was a cute fountain in the middle of the room. Overall just a good vibe. They have lots of options in terms of vegetarian/vegan food. Drink wise I had to try the Bloody Mary which was made with a cucumber jalapeño infused vodka. Not a huge fan of the cucumber part, just a tad to much of that. But overall not bad. Also tried the fig & orange latte which was super yummy with oatmilk! My cousin got the kombucha & seemed to enjoy it. For food. I ordered the butternut squash & kale scramble, added some hot sauce & it was served with this creamy topping which added a lot of flavor overall. Side was cheesy grits which were perfect! Also had to try the toast after seeing someone had ordered the avocado toast & the toast looked amazing. They served it with an *apricot? marmalade & it was so yummy, I could've eaten it with a spoon. Overall just a wonderful experience here. Their other menu options are also very enticing so I will be coming back to try more. read more

Super cute café with so many beautiful plants! I went here for a brunch with a gal and we loved our experience. The restaurant is very open and has an airy vibe. They are still checking vaccination cards for dine-in. We sat by the window. We ordered the "Huevos Platanos" which brings "crispy corn tortillas with over medium eggs, black beans, avocado-pepita pistou, fried plantains, pickled red onion & cotija". The plate was so delicious. I found it to be filling but on the very light side. We also ordered a side of "Yam Fries" that were so delicious. They had this perfect dipping aioli on the side. For drinks, I ordered the "Golden Milk", which is "warm coconut milk, turmeric, black pepper, ginger, cardamom, coriander & chaga". I would go to Cafe Flora just for this drink to be honest. It was so warming and comforting--a hug in a mug. read more

Food is very good, as is the staff and ambiance. However, like most plant-based restaurants in Seattle, it has a limited menu that's a bit overpriced. I'd like to see more variety in options, as well as plant-based meats, before it gets a 5/5. If it were based in Portland it would have trouble succeeding. With that said, I do love Cafe Flora. It is easily one of the best plant-based restaurants in the county. Their cocktails are great, and as mentioned previously, the quality of the food they do serve, the staff, and setting knock it out of the park. read more

My friend is sensitive to gluten and allergic to shellfish, so we decided to go here for brunch since they have a good amount of safe options for her. I ordered the spring green scramble and my partner had the southern platter. Overall, the food was good, but for the price, the portions are quite small. I appreciate that they offer both eggs and tofu options, as my partner and I are not vegan. I would definitely come back if a friend wanted to go, but I don't think I would go back on my own accord. read more

It's in a super cute neighborhood too so great place to stroll around after as well. read more

It's a bit pricey - it's definitely a catch-up with friends you haven't seen in a while type of place. Not an everyday breakfast place, that's just my opinion. They have ample seating indoors and outdoors. But during rush hours like brunch, make sure your WHOLE group is here before you get seated. If they haven't done so already, they should consider using the Yelp Waitlist feature to help with that! I'm also a MASSIVE fan of places that have all these vegan options in Seattle. Lovely! Their yam fries as sides were absolute fire. Their Italian burger was scrumptious. So filling and tasty. They also have this cardamom rose latte drink on what I believe to be a weekend menu which brings me great delight. They didn't have it on weeknights from what I see. Their winter frittata was pretty small and I was left hungry, so I'd avoid that one. Service in my experience has been hit or miss. The first time I was there, I got a great spot in their outdoor tent with my friends. Everything arrived on time and was lovely. The second time I visited, it was during the evening and felt like the server was rushing me to order, pay, and leave. Arguably this was a slow time for the restaurant... moreso than weekend brunch! Also, whenever this server asked me if I wanted x,y,z things, they seemed to omit that some of those things were extra cost. Even after I said yes to those x,y,z things, they didn't address that that would be an extra $3, for example. I know it's a minor thing, but I always get a better feeling about a place when servers are transparent about things like that to avoid surprises during bill time. read more

Vibes&front of house This place definitely has GOOD vibes & excellent interior design & plants. The serve staff is also nice and you can tell they are trying. The issues are two fold: Mgmt - I feel like management set up the ratio between staff & volume for failure. We went for breakfast and our food came Luke warm (at best). We got so bored that we asked for final course to go. They also messed up an order and gave us a dish as non-vegan that was supposed to be vegan. Taste - food tastes Meh. I realize it's much harder to pull off hood veg. Or vegan cuisine but I could do better myself . There salads are reasonably good but other elements feel like they are lacking depth and excitement. Black bean and/or quinoa Pattie's need a lot of other flavors to make them taste good and didn't get that. read more

Okay so I love meat and once I realized the menu had no meat options I was disappointed. But let me tell you, the meat was NOT missed. Food - Southern Platter (9.5/10) This was SO good. The gravy was amazing, the umami from the mushroom was a huge surprise. This is the best gravy I have ever had. I don't even like biscuits that much, but the biscuits paired very well with the gravy. The garlicy greens were awesome. If I cooked veggies this good, I would eat way more. Finally the eggs were what you expect. - Avocado Toast (8/10) The avocado toast is what you would expect; it's solid but nothing special to note about it. Other notes - lots of space to accommodate large groups - loved the plants, ambiance, and service read more

Impressive vegan/vegetarian brunch spot! The wait for four people on a Saturday was only 20 minutes. Being a non vegan/vegetarian person, I was assuming everything would lack of flavor but I was completely wrong. My non vegan partner and I enjoyed all the dishes we ordered. Just one star off for our server because it looked like she didn't want to be there The stars of the show were: The strawberry pancakes - really enjoyed the lemon curd sauce and pistachio crumble for texture Southern Platter with tofu- the garlicky greens was SO FLAVORFUL!

Group of 6, had a reservation, outdoor seating. Appetizers: Wow. Just wow. I am a carnivore so naturally I was skeptical of the offerings. We ordered the yam fries and the shishito peppers and I was totally blown away. So much flavor, and oomf. Best part of the meal. Entree + Drink: I had the Yakima Valley Polenta and a housemade soda (raspberry flavored) with liquor to turn it into a cocktail. Polenta was very good with the pool of pesto and balsamic drizzling overhead. Be forewarned - if you don't order an appetizer or dessert this dish may not fill you up as much as the other menu items. Dessert: We shared coconut cake, blackberry nectarine crisp, and the chocolate brownie coupe. I'm not huge on coconut nor really sweet desserts so of the three the brownie was the way to go. Would highly recommend coming to this establishment. All employees wore masks the entire time and it was just such a lovely place to celebrate our friends' engagement. read more

Cafe Flora is still one of our all time favorite restaurants in Seattle, the food is incredible and we dine in about once or twice a month and have done so for close to 20 years. But recently they have picked up a new "Family Style" serving process where they bring out one persons food at a time and not in quick succession. One person will get their food, 15 min later the next person will, 15 min later the next will and so on. If the portions were family style this would be wonderful but the portions are the same size so it leaves people just waiting and watching the other people in their group eat while you wait. I am not sure what sparked this new process but its pushing us away quickly and it is why I am giving Cafe Flora lower ratings than my previous. Flora has gone through a lot of changes over the last 20 years of us dining there some good some bad but this change might be the one that pushes us away for good. The food is the best vegetarian food in the city as it does not use only mushrooms as a filler for not having meat like so many others do, they understand the dynamic of making complex yet delightful options and we always leave happy, until this recent change. I hope it is a short lived test and we see a return to their previous ways of serving. read more

One of my favorite brunch spots in Seattle. This place is always busy during brunch and wait could be over an hour, but it's worth it. I love how inclusive they are for various dietary restrictions. All of the items on menu are served fresh and taste delicious. We have tried their lattes (I love their turmeric latte), the eggs and even tofu scrambles everything is yumm!! Oh and we love to end our brunch with their waffles. They usually change the toppings and flavors based on season. Highly recommend. read more
