It was hard to make it here during my trip to Phoenix because of their limited hours, but I am SO…read moreglad I did. As a health food vegan, I am always on the lookout for food like this: whole foods/plant-based, including some oil-free options. Their whole menu reads like a list of my favorite food buzzwords: buckwheat, lentil cauliflower scramble, sunflower seed meat, local fermented sauerkraut, freshly milled Sonoran wheat; tempeh, sourdough, homemade seeded bread, homemade cashew milk, etc. etc. It was legitimately hard to decide what to get. I went with the baked(!) strawberry banana oat buckwheat pancakes. Super tasty, and a generous portion. I also couldn't resist an oil-free sunbutter cookie (with its wacky bluegreen tinge that was apparently from the sunflower seeds) and also loved the cold brew coffee with cashew milk.

It is a little pricey, however, it's worth the cost. As I mentioned, everything is healthy and made fresh. You can't get that without paying a bit extra Their bread is so good, the chutney is awesome, their little side salads are so tasty. I haven't tried anything here that I have not loved. They are a small husband and wife run business, which is always great to see. They are very friendly people who clearly love what they do. There's limited seating indoors, as it's inside Barnone, but you can easily find places to sit outdoors as well.

The atmosphere is upbeat, bright, and welcoming with a really good energy whether you're stopping in for lunch, dinner, or meeting up with a larger group. The setup works especially well for groups since there's plenty of seating and the ordering process keeps things moving even when it's busy. One thing they do very well is efficiency without losing hospitality. They have both a dine-in ordering counter and a dedicated to-go counter, which seems necessary because this place stays packed. Even during busy times, the staff stays friendly, attentive, and organized. You can tell there's real attention paid to each order and that management understands how to run a smooth restaurant operation. The menu has a lot of solid choices whether you want something lighter, comforting, vegetarian, or protein-packed. Portions were satisfying, and the broccoli deserves its own mention -- somehow simple but absolutely addictive. My only real note is that pricing feels a little high for an order-at-the-counter style restaurant. That said, the quality, atmosphere, and overall experience do make it easier to justify once in a while.

This was not the first time I have been to Flower Child. It's one of those places that I'll go if…read moresomebody else wants to, but I'll never choose it myself. I know my opinion is probably unpopular because it seems like everybody loves Flower Child, but it's not really my cup of tea. I fully understand, though, that that's just me. I do have some weird food issues. I will say this place is so bright and airy and just lovely. I love the paned windows that look out onto the patio, the very high ceilings, and the brown rattan lighting fixtures. Even though the space is quite large, it's extremely inviting. That said, it's a great place for something healthy. I feel like you can't go wrong with any of the choices if you're trying to eat well. My friends lunch looked much better than what I had. I had the Flying Avocado Wrap, and I didn't love it. In fact I didn't finish even half of it - - I took it home and my son ate it. I think it's the bread I don't like, and anyone who knows me knows I can be really picky. Will I come back? Probably. When I have lunch with somebody else who wants to come here, I won't have a problem with it. I would really like to try the forbidden Rice that my friend had. But I'm not likely to ever swing by here on my own.

I just recently heard about Seed Shack and decided to give them a try for dinner. I stopped by on a…read moreSaturday evening to place a takeout order. The restaurant was fairly busy with a few people waiting for their takeout. There's ample seating indoor and some outdoor. I ordered lemon sesame tofu tacos and bacon mac & cheese on one of their devices near the entrance. A staff member came up to me shortly after and asked if I wanted a sample of their lemonades. I don't remember what flavor, but it was tasty and refreshing. My order didn't take too long and I waited to enjoy them at home. The tofu tacos were phenomenal! Full of flavor and way better than I expected. The bacon mac and cheese was also fantastic. It was rich and creamy. I couldn't finish everything in one sitting as much as I wanted to, but was happy to have bacon mac and cheese leftovers for the next day!

I had this place bookmarked and was in the area one day, so I decided to grab lunch from here. I…read moreordered online for pickup and drove over. Not too busy of a shopping area so parking was easy. I walked inside and a staff member asked if I was picking up, and had my food ready to go. I didn't ask for utensils and thankfully they didn't give me any. They do have them available on the side if needed. I liked that they had free stickers so I took two. It wasn't busy when I stopped by, just one couple dining in, but they had a few bags for takeout so that seems to keep them busy. Ambiance was nice with good amount of seating. I decided to have lunch in the nearby preserve and I enjoyed my food. I ordered the chickn sandwich, buffalo style, with a side of fries. The sandwich was delicious! Loved the flavors and it was filling. I'm glad I got it Buffalo style because the spiciness was great. The fries tasted good but were soft rather than crispy, which is what I prefer. I also got a side of cheez sauce ($2) which was pricey considering the size, and it didn't taste like cheese or anything similar. I would pass on this in the future. I ordered their Brussels sprouts which came with a side of tahini sauce, but they were salty and yummy so the sauce wasn't necessary imo. Overall I love vegan food and I wish there were more restaurants that serve it. This spot is solid and I'd come back to try other menu items and support them.

We all ordered different stuff and everyone said their food was really good. I enjoyed a variety of things off the happy hour sampler menu. I got a hummus trio, sautéed mushrooms, and tomato and mozz salad. Portions were a bit smaller than I was expecting but I enjoyed it all. My glass of Pinot Grigio was only $5 and it was the perfect side to my food. I hadn't been to this exact location before but have been to others so I knew food would be a hit.

Though there were only nine of us, I placed an online catering order for 10 people. My father and I arrived shortly after Pita Jungle opened. They let me know they were out of one of the hummus I ordered and they replaced it with something else. I thought it was sort of odd to run out of something right when they opened, but it wasn't a big deal. Everything else was correct. We laid everything out once we got home and the portions were pretty big. It was more than enough for all of us, with some leftovers, too. The food was fresh, tasty, and the prices were reasonable.

Mad Greens is one of my very favorite places to eat... the food is healthy and consistent (most of…read morethe time!) The staff is always friendly, and the portions are appropriate for the price. This location needs some fine tuning, but I've still received a good product overall. At the beginning when you order, we ordered (3) bowls. All substituting kale instead of spinach. It seems this information is recorded, but for all (3) bowls the employee started with spinach/ mixed greens. I caught it fairly early thankfully, but we asked 2-3 times for kale. They fixed it for 2/3. An additional time, I was not offered the option to mix my bowl, so when I got home, I had to dirty a bowl to mix the salad. I hadn't experienced this before at a Mad Greens, so I didn't catch it in the store. Small things, but things that alter the experience over time. Still great food and friendly people :-)

We loved the plates and the serving dishes because of the charm we thought they had. Now they use these more American looking serving dishes that are just a huge bummer and look stale. But the reason why we came was because of the flavor, the seasoning was delicious. Now it tastes watered down. Like there is less cumin and a few other spices? Perhaps. Our favorite dish was the gobi Manchurian, we used to come because of how good it used to be. Now even that has lost its flavor. Even the cauliflower that was used today looked sad and watered down. With the prices that have gone up dramatically, the food losing its flavor, and the charm gone from the serving dishes I'm sad to say we won't come back. We were okay paying even double if it was just the same as before. Now you could NOT even pay me to eat here. I want to add that I think their customer service is great, the staff is always friendly, so it has nothing to do with that. Just the changes someone chose to make. My family and I are really sad because we feel like we've lost our favorite restaurant and now we have to find a new place. I hope everyone else enjoys the changes because we do not.
