Tried Flora in North Park after seeing all the cute photos online, and I'll say this: the aesthetic definitely delivers. It's very Instagram-friendly with pretty decor, pastel umbrellas, and lots of photo opportunities. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which I appreciated. Food-wise, it was just okay for me. I ordered the açaí bowl, and while it was fresh and nicely presented, it wasn't the best I've had, but definitely not bad either. I also had a pineapple mimosa, which was refreshing and enjoyable. My friend ordered the Turkish eggs and said they were good, although she felt the dish leaned a little too creamy for her taste. The menu overall felt somewhat limited, and nothing really stood out as a must-have dish. It's one of those places where the ambiance may outshine the food. Would I come back? Maybe--for the cute atmosphere, photos, and drinks. But if I'm choosing a brunch spot solely for the food, there are other places in San Diego I'd probably reach for first.
FLORA @ NORTH PARK Parking can definitely be difficult here since everything is street parking, and most spots are either paid or have a two-hour limit. This breakfast spot is super popular in North Park, so I was really excited to finally try it out. I came for a friend's birthday with a party of over 20 people, and once everyone arrived, the staff were very friendly and accommodating. We had a preset menu for the reservation that included pastries, fruit, French toast, and one entrée item that each guest could choose. The pastries were decent, though I do wish they had been a little fresher and warmer since they were slightly on the drier side. The fruit was honestly my favorite part of the starter courses, fresh strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries are always a good choice. I'm not sure if they forgot about the French toast, but our table never ended up receiving it. For my entrée, I chose the smoked salmon croissant with potatoes, and it was delicious. Everything tasted perfectly cooked, and overall I really enjoyed the dish. Unfortunately, there was a disgusting piece of hair on one of my potatoes, and it immediately made me lose my appetite. Overall, the ambiance of the place was really nice. It's a smaller spot, but very lively and fun, especially for brunch with friends.
Came here with a group of 5 for a delayed Mother's Day brunch. Everything we ordered was delicious! I personally had the Berry Compote French Toast. I asked for the compote to be on the side and I'm glad I did! I'm not a huge fan of compote (it did tasted just as compote should), the French toast with the powdered sugar and the fresh berries were perfect on its own for me. The French toast was soft on the inside and had a great crisp on the outside. Everyone else said they loved their food as well. I would definitely come back!
Flora is one of the popular restaurants in trendy North Park neighborhood of San Diego. Street Parking is a challenge. It had been a long while since my last visit here. Made early reservations for brunch. Sat outside the sun shade umbrella patio nest to darling Digitalis Genus aka Foxgloves small fuschia bell shaped flowers with freckles, which I found enchanting and diminished the sight of the busy street named University. The host/hostess and servers were nice and accommodating. The server Sofia was very nice and pleasant. The menu offered limited selections for brunch, I ordered the Smoked Salmon toast and a Matcha espresso martini. Both presented appealingly and served with a smile by the handsome male servers. Smoked salmon was fresh and had lots of dill herb, pickled red onion, capers on a sourdough slice was delectable. The matcha espresso martini had a clipped on fortune cookie like message which read: You will find happiness but first you'll need another coffee,' a funny note :) The restaurant was crowded with people waiting/standing out the sidewalk for a table. So as a considerate person, I had my brunch along with some pics with my pup Fendi of course, left quicker than expected, although I would have preferred to lounge a little, perhaps have another drink. Enjoyed the brunch, appreciated the nice service and my overall dining experience was very good. Recommend
Flora was really good! I ordered the egg sandwich with a side of extra crispy potatoes and it was fantastic. My friend ordered the same but gluten free and she also had great things to say. We did not have a restaurant and walked right in and were sat. The decor was cute, French inspired, and dainty yet modern. Their servers are a team, so we were helped by multiple people (all of whom were helpful and kind). Parking is difficult in north park, but it was worth it! Would love to go back
The food was great! Zero complaints on it. The hollandaise sauce was so creamy and plentiful, eggs + side of potatoes cooked perfectly! Ambience is also so cute; the restaurant is pink + plant themed. However, I have to bring it down a couple stars because they are terrible at checking in. The service is very poor in this aspect. We chatted away for 30 minutes, no exaggeration, before having to mention we were ready to order to a passing server. I'm not sure if they didn't want to interrupt our conversation or what happened. Throughout our brunch, we had to remind a few times for water fills as well
I met a few girlfriends here for Sunday brunch and thankfully we had reservations otherwise it would have been quite a wait. PARKING Not great. Very limited street parking or nearby paid parking that could be $10/hour. My friends parked near Vons and said it was a 10 min walk. FOOD A few of us got the Turkish eggs and it was DELICIOUS! My friend got the açaí bowl and another got the salmon omelette. DRINKS I tried their cloud matcha with almond milk & strawberry cold foam. It was pretty good CLEANLINESS/ SERVICE The place was decorated so cute that it feels like you're transported into Spain or Italy. It was a cute touch to have the servers all wearing overalls. I do wish they had more than 2 bathrooms since there always seemed to be a line but that's not likely within their control. It did take about 10 minutes to meet our server but we chatted for a bit anyway so it all worked out. Overall, I'll definitely be back to have my husband try the Turkish eggs. Well worth the visit simply for that dish!
Came here on a Saturday morning at 8:45AM with my wife and there were only a couple tables with people so we were seated right away. We were done at 9:30 and it was about half full and it was so loud. We ordered the Turkish eggs, egg sandwich, and the Brie french toast bites. Everything was good and the egg sandwich was huge, but the highlight was the French toast bites. It wasn't a full on meal like you'd be used to. It's good to split with others on the side. I'd come back just for that.
Food: 4 Service: 4 Ambiance: 4 We came by Flora on a weekday morning right when they opened and were actually the first ones seated, which was really nice. It was quiet and peaceful at first, but within the hour it definitely started to get busy. Parking in North Park is all street parking, but since we came early, we had no problem finding a spot about two blocks away. It was a nice little walk to the restaurant. The space itself is super aesthetic. I loved the decor. It is very pleasing to the eye, relaxing, but still colorful and fun at the same time. I went with a group of friends and I ordered the Turkish eggs and the matcha cloud. The coconut water in the matcha cloud was really good and super refreshing. The matcha itself was just OK, but overall the drink was still very delicious and refreshing. The Turkish eggs were my first time trying this dish and I was honestly so surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It was very flavorful, filling, and just the right portion. It came with crispy bread, oil, chili, eggs, and yogurt, and everything worked really well together. My friends ordered different types of Benedicts and they all said theirs were OK. I think I may have enjoyed my dish a bit more. Service was friendly, and even when it got busy, our water was always refilled and we felt well taken care of. I would definitely come back to try other items on the menu. Highly recommend this spot for delicious food, a beautiful atmosphere, and good service.
In honor of women's month, we wanted to check out something in the area and came across this place. Thankfully we made reservations as this is a popular place on the weekends. We were seated right away which was nice. It is a bit small inside but the way they have the layout they are able to get quite a few folks in. Plus they have a small patio of seats as well. The staff were all super sweet and I loved the decor. I ordered a passion fruit mojito which was delicious. My chilaquiles weren't that great which was a bit of a bummer. I've had them many times at other places without dairy, and never had an issue with them lacking without it... but for some reason these ones seemed to be needing something... my friend really enjoyed her chicken n waffles, so maybe I just picked the wrong food choice. Overall, cute little brunch spot. I definitely will be back for that mojito.
Went again for brunch today and did not like the shakshuka. Unfortunately I felt it was pretty liquidy & the eggs felt a bit too much on the raw side from what I expected. Additionally it was way too salty. I feel the combo of olives, capers, and the dish probably already salted was too much. I wouldn't order this item again but everyone else's food seemed good! I should've gotten the sandwich which I ordered last time.
We happened upon flora whilst looking for a great brunch place on a monday, seeing people direct themselves to their patio we thought, "hmmm, must be good if it's busy on a monday!" We weren't expecting how good it was going to be! First of all. the decor was so beautiful. You're transported to stunning space, giving me mediterranean vibes for sure. The staff there is so friendly, and really made sure we had a great experience - from thoughts on the dishes we asked about to providing their own recommendationsv - the service was 10/10. They're known most for brunch, so that's what we came for! Some friends and I shared shakshuka, turkish eggs, an omelette and the brie french toast. Now I am a bit of a Shakshuka snob as I've literally had it in the Middle East and make it a LOT at happen. While the texture was a bit on the thin side, the flavor was riiiiiight, I really thought it was delicious. Great depth of flavor with the right amount of heat. Turkish eggs were delicious of course, and the omeltte had no complaints. Now the brie french toast?? Something I've never considered working together but WOW, it really does. I could have eaten three of those plates myself, they were so good. I would 10/10 suggest for anyone to try it. No notes, will be coming back for sure. read more

A stunning brunch spot! Right off the bat you're in a beautiful restaurant with fun colors and a gorgeous interior design. The latte they brought out was excellent. I ordered the smoked salmon croissant Benedict and the chicken and waffles. Both were really good, especially the chicken and waffles. The wait staff was great. They were super friendly and making jokes with us the whole time. The only downside is parking! Parking is very tough to come by in this spot! I ended up parking a half mile away. read more

Food and service was incredible! Filippo was a great server. If you're Looking for an aesthetic girls brunch where the food tastes as good as it looks you need to try this spot. read more
Came here for a Saturday brunch to celebrate birthdays. They have street parking, if you have patience looking for one or there's a parking structure a block away that charges $1 an hour. I had the Turkish eggs and I dont know how they are supposed to taste but it wasnt for me. The brie french toast was okay. My friend said the shakshuka eggs is like chili with eggs, basically. Overall it was just okay for me. 4 stars because service was excellent and that makes the experience more enjoyable. read more

Brunch was great! I ordered an oatmilk latte and steak and eggs. The oatmilk latte tasted great! The steak and eggs were delicious! The steak was very tender and the chimichurri sauce had great flavor. The hasselback potatoes were crispy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside. I ate half at brunch and the other half cold for dinner (it tasted great as a leftover too). Ambiance was cutesy. Service could have been a little more attentive, but the server was pleasant enough. The sound did reverberate inside so that was a little distracting at times. The food was so good that I'd definitely return. read more
Food is wonderful! I ordered the wagyu burger and it was perfect. The side potato was VERY small. It was tasty. Great crunch and flavor but it was smaller my palm. The potato sizes vary. My friend's potato was much bigger. I like the space decor. It's very cute and colorful. The noise level gets pretty loud. It wasn't a full house so I imagine it is worse on the weekend brunch rush. Service wasn't great unfortunately. I arrived and stood awkwardly by the door for about 10 minutes. I was waiting for someone but no one came over to greet me and give me a table. We had a reservation too. The guy made eye contact no less than 3x. At one point he walked over and I thought okay he is going to finally acknowledge me, but he turned away and went to make a drink at the bar. I wanted to sit down so I went to him and asked if this was a seat yourself restaurant. He said he'd be with me soon so I sat at a table. Another gentleman came over with water so I told him I was ready to order. He told me the initial guy would be by soon. I waited. My friend arrived after searching for parking and he still had not come over to take the order. I was not impressed with the speed of service. read more

Had a reservation for right when the opened so the place was completely empty on a weekday. It is definitely on the more expensive end in my opinion for breakfast but the food is good quality and large portion sizes. The avocado toast was what you would expect and very tasty. Only recommendation I would have would be adding balsamic and arugula to make it even better. Super cute place inside with fast service and friendly staff. Definitely recommend for a nicer brunch without breaking the bank. I also noticed the $15 bottomless mimosas brunch which we did not do, but this seemed like a great deal compared to some other places in town for the same thing. read more

The service was top notch and the food came within minutes of us ordering! Our server was Luca and he was very attentive. Our waters were always full! The food was delicious, and I would recommend the Sausage omelette or Turkish eggs if you're craving something savory. Sadly, we came too late to order the Brie Toast Bites, but overall an amazing restaurant experience and we loved the ambiance! We can't wait to return! It's the perfect place to bring friends from out of town! read more
Had such a great time here on a Sunday! One of the few brunch spots taking reservations which was great for our group of 6. Unfortunately they don't do bottomless on weekends, but we got a bottle instead, which came with all 3 juices and was perfect! The Dalgona whipped coffees and orange cold foam iced Americanos were incredible. So glad we got the French toast bites, they were the perfect table sweet to share, and the main dishes were all so yummy too. Service was delightful, Ashley our server was so sweet and took such good care of us. We will def be back! read more

Not sure why we didn't find this place sooner but we went yesterday for the first time and loved it! Big enough to get a table, inside and outside seating, fun ambience, friendly service, and delicious food!! We ordered the berry French toast and Turkish eggs. Perfect portions and flavors (my only request for the eggs would be to find a way to keep the eggs hot while serving it with the cooler yogurt and bell pepper mix on top.) Adding this place to our weekend rounds! Yum!! read more
Service was nice and the ambiance made for a perfect brunch spot: vibrant, cozy, and all; however, their food was only ok. I had their Classic Benedict. Their homemade whipped hollandaise was good as it added a new fluffy twist on it. But the ham tasted like basic deli meat and it felt the English muffin was just split open without being warmed. Potatoes that came with it were nicely cooked and Bloody Mary had a nice snacking garnish. Overall, it's a great place for their aesthetics, but I found their food a little underwhelming. read more

Great selection of brunch dishes, both savory and sweet. Parking garage nearby. Prices are very reasonable. The place is very loud inside, it would benefit from wall dressings that absorb some of the noise. Service was good but very slow, however, we went there on a holiday for brunch. Overall, I'd recommend this place if you are not rushed and are ok with the noise. read more
Stopped in for a first time ever visit on a Friday at noon for a friend's celebration and could not have been happier with the experience. Flora beautiful decor that is clean and has ultimate brunch vibes! We were set immediately and the service was absolutely stellar. $15 per person for bottomless mimosas is an absolute deal! Every single person within our party of five was absolutely pleased with their food.. I had the Turkish eggs , 10 out of 10 if you're craving a lighter dish that is bursting with flavor. I will absolutely be coming back to this restaurant again because the menu has plenty of dishes that I want to try! In the end, it turned out that our server was actually the owner Ashley. She is an absolute sweetheart and I can tell she has a passion for her establishment. Pro tip.. Utilize the parking garage around the corner on 30th Street. It is inexpensive and a very short walking distance from the front door. read more
Came in as a large party of 15 and Luca did such a great job taking care of us. He was very attentive and friendly. All my friends loved our drinks and food. Great casual and fun brunch spot! The decor is also picture friendly. Thanks Flora! read more

The food was really good and the service was pretty fast considering how busy it was! My boyfriend and I got the green chilaquiles but we added steak on the side for a protein instead. I also got the passion fruit mojito and it was so delicious. The mint made it all the more tasty. The overall vibe was really nice too. I will admit, the passion fruit mojito picture was taken a different day!! read more

First off, the service and ambiance here are great! I loved the cute inside and our servers were attentive and helpful. The dishes were also delicious, but for the price we spent I expect to be full after my meal and we were still a bit hungry. I do want to come back to try some lunch items in the future! read more

I came here for brunch with my MeetUp Fun Diego Ladies group. We absolutely loved the food and the service was incredible! I ordered a breakfast sandwich and it was huge! As delicious as it was, I could only eat half and saved the other half for the next day. I reheated it in the air fryer and it was just as good! We celebrated one of my friend's 50th birthday, so our server brought out complimentary champagne and dessert for everyone! The restaurant was beautifully decorated. We were seated in the front, so it was a bit hot. I would definitely recommend coming here when the weather is a bit cooler. They have tables indoors and outdoors, so the front entrance was kept open. We were dressed in our summer attire so we didn't mind the slightly elevated temp. The handsome servers in their overalls added a nice touch to our ladies brunch! We absolutely loved everything about our experience here! read more
Flora set the scene for a lovely brunch date with my mom! The botanic atmosphere coupled up with the bright decor and aesthetic interior definitely caught my attention to take her here. We were craving mostly savory items, so we opted for the chilaquiles and Pink Vodka Fettucine for lunch. To the fettucine, we added shrimp. Highly recommend doing that! I wasn't so much of a fan of the chilaquiles, as the chips weren't the freshest and our choice of Verde salsa was a bit too sour for my liking. For our fun beverage, we shared a cup of their Strawberry Matcha Pink Cloud latte. I expected a bit more on the presentation for the price, however, it was just average. Although the place is aesthetic, I think they could use a little more work in the menu! I did enjoy my experience here and the service was great all around. I definitely would consider coming back to discover anything else I like, and they have lots of potential for a brunch spot in North Park! read more

Okay so the vibes are immaculate, but the service was kind of slow. Granted, it was a busy Saturday. The interior has this like Egyptian but modern chic vibe. It's very cute. It was definitely kind of warm in the restaurant because it was a hot summer day, but I loved the look and feel of the place. The food was good, but I felt like my food was kind of cold by the time it got to me. My coffee tasted funny, and I felt like the milk was a little old or sitting out or something when I tasted it. But what was nice was that they comped the latte and brought me back an iced coffee on the house, which was very nice of them. I felt kind of bad for the workers though. They all have to wear overalls?? It was a hot day, and the heat comes into the restaurant. Idk I feel like they shouldn't make them wear overalls. Kind of overkill & it doesn't even really match the restaurant aesthetic of it being kind of a cute brunch and chic vibe. I thought it was odd to try to enforce the overalls thing. read more

Wow this place was absolutely amazing. I decided to go outside my comfort zone and order the Turkish eggs and it was incredibly delicious. The pieces of chili completed the dish for me. Even though I was full after, I still wanted more because it was delicious. I ordered the Lychee Spritz for my drink and I thought it was very cute they put little "fortunes" on the drinks. It was very fun. This a must visit when you're in San Diego! read more

Flora is great! We are visiting from LA and upon reading reviews we decided this is where we wanted to do brunch and it was the right choice! Despite it being busy, service was great. Our server Filipo was very attentive & made sure to attend to us very well. The food was good, we had the steak and eggs and the carne asada burrito and we were both very satisfied. I just wish they had bottomless mimosas on the weekends too. Otherwise, definitely recommend! read more
Very cute & chic spot!! Went in right after opening on a Thursday, and it was empty of course! So win for us! The actual vibes & decorations were so cute! Very "ladies who lunch" coded. The actual food offering were pretty ok. I liked the concept & the execution of the Brie "French toast", but it wasn't very tradition in the sense of French toast, and as someone who doesn't really like FT, another win & was pleasantly surprised. The sausage omelette was tasty, however a bit bland, albeit generous with cheese, so slight win. The $15 bottomless mimosas were nice & a pretty good deal, since 1 is $12. The mocktail was a bit lacking & think the fruit could have been in season more for better flavor, but the concept & flavors were yummy pairings. Service was super nice & attentive, checked in, and made sure everything was ok. Only real "complaint" was that the bathroom & floor looked a bit dirty for being first thing in the morning, so maybe the shift before did a speedy clean up & missed something, but other than that, a cute & fun lil spot! read more

First time here on Christmas Day (so happy it was open!) and it was very good. The staff were extra jolly, they had Christmas tunes on, and service was great. Our drinks and food came out super fast! I had a mimosa which was very solid. My husband and I both had the classic eggs Benedict and we subbed the hasselback potatoes. Very good hollandaise sauce and perfectly cooked eggs. The potatoes were crispy and delicious with the truffle oil! Way better than traditional breakfast potatoes. Also had to have a side of man candy bacon. I definitely will return! read more

Late review! Thought I dropped a review on this place but I was sadly mistaken! I came here during Mother's Day weekend and we were told we had a 90 minute limitation. No issues with making a reservation, placed it about several weeks in advance. First time being here and I completely love the flower vibe, which suited the occasion perfectly. As expected, it was crowded but not overly so. Only gripe - we felt rushed, almost clearing the plates when we were still eating some of the food. What we had: Chacuterie Board - Highly recommend!!! Comes with waffles, French toast, eggs, bacon, sausage, fruit, vanilla gelato and croissants. Good to be shared with 3 ppl. Smoked Salmon Croissant Benedict - Filing and delicious! Egg Sandwich - Beware, this was humongous! Thick and chewy sourdough with a hearty filling, def a hearty meal. Matcha Espresso Martini was pretty good. Highly recommend! Definitely will return again because food came out reasonably quick and the staff were so attentive. read more
Had a very nice breakfast a couple of weeks ago. The egg's Benedict was very good. Everything depends on the hollandaise sauce, and it measured up! No need to add lemon, as I so often have to do. The potatoes were very good and tempted me to eat them all read more

On their website, it says there's a happy hour from 4 to 5 PM but their hours say that they close at 3 o'clock so I'm just confused when does happy hour happen?
They used to have longer business hours with Happy Hour but not anymore. They close at 3pm...only do brunch now.
How are the parking options when dining here?
Parking is a challenge. I drove around for about 10 minutes on a Saturday morning and found one in a residential area about a 7 minute walk to the restaurant. My dining partners paid to park their car nearby.
