My go-to there, a healthy flavorful mix of grains, soft sweet potato with fresh avocado, savory mushrooms and perfectly cooked slices of steak. Crave this ever so often. Get takeout usually but I've dined in before too and the service was great along with the clean cozy interior aesthetic. read more

Flower Child - Mother Earth - Salad Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

I live in Denver and was visiting a friend. She highly recommended this spot for dinner and I can see why. The food is fresh, unique and full of flavor. Flower Child is just different from the run of the mill fast casual restaurant We shared the hummus with veggies and pita. It had avocado in it. So smooth and flavorful. Then we both got the salmon and cauliflower risotto. Wow it was so filling.. I also had the mac and cheese, but couldn't tell it was gluten free. It was so tasty. You can chose from a lot of sides here and I thought the concept was 10/10. Come to Denver Flower Child! read more

Consistent and reliable as a healthier restaurant option. My favorite dish has to be their chicken enchiladas which has a good balance of flavors and variety of texture. Having the pick two or three proteins with sides is nice too, the rest of my family really takes advantage of that option, and of the kid version! The staff is pretty efficient, and it's pleasant having the option to eat inside or outside -- though I do wish there was more variety in the outdoor seating arrangements considering we usually come with extended family or friends. read more

It's like a cafeteria that was deadd car packed with families and friends. We went to the counter to order, food was brought to our table when ready. It was crowded with customers and many of them were families. Very healthy and tasty food. Every dish was great! We ordered 4*Avocado Caesar salad：per normal 4*Salmon with kale and cauliflower risotto: unique combo, healthy and tasty 5*Tofu with Kung Pow cauliflower and Kale: a bit spicy taste, very flavorful 4*Kebab with side dishes: read more

Tried it on a whim and ended up returning a few days later. Delicious food with lots of healthy options all seemingly made fresh to order (grilled salmon). The vibe is extremely welcoming with plenty of in and outdoor seating. They do the little things right-big napkins, to go containers out at silverware stations. Someone has really thought of the customer experience. Highly recommended!! read more

Flower Child is a great meal option, especially if you're looking for something healthy. I came here for lunch on a weekday and it definitely gets busy. You order at the counter, get a number, pick any table and the food is brought to you. I got the mother earth with chicken, and it was great. It was flavorful and a decent portion size. The chicken was good, but could have used more salt and pepper. The interior is bright and welcoming. When I left, it got very busy but it seems like staff cleans the tables quickly. read more

This was my first ever visit to any Flower Child. Where have I been? It was probably one of the most enjoyable meals. The place is bright and pleasantly decorated. The staff was very helpful, pleasant, and working very hard. I did not see any empty plates/bowls sitting on a table long. You order at the counter, and if dining in, you get a number. They will bring your order to your table. On to the food. I ordered the Mother Earth with no protein added. It was so delicious. Perfect size. The only bad part about that is no leftovers. I enjoyed every bite. I already downloaded their app. I will return. UPDATE: I returned two days later with my sister. Delicious just like the first time. The roasted sweet potato fries are a must-have! read more

Flower child is so yummy. So I got the salmon bowl with Mac and cheese and smashed potatoes. Always my go to! Service is always on point or at least for curbside :). Whenever I eat FC, I don't feel heavy, groggy, and stuffed after eating everything. Super good that I signed up for their rewards via app. lol. Wish it was closer but it'll do. Definitely going back here again. Thanks flower child! read more

Flower Child - Salmon Bowl - Salad Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

We love coming here especially to get the enchiladas, but today we didn't have meal experience. The chicken in the enchiladas was cold, I mean like out of the fridge cold, which was odd. Also, we got the bottom of the bag chips, meaning they were all small and broken like they wanted to finish off a bag and not open a new one. The service and atmosphere were great as usual! read more

Outstanding ambiance, service and food. Food was so good and not being one that places salt on my food, I found my order to be lightly salted, which was fine. read more

A solid 4 stars! I like to come here with my vegetarian wife because there are LOTS of great options for her and my omnivore self. Salads and grain bowls headline the menu. I'm partial to the chopped veggie salad with grilled chicken. My wife is a big proponent of the Mother Earth bowl featuring ancient grains and portobello mushroom. Service is friendly and efficient. You order at the counter. They give you a number and bring the food to your table. The dining room is spacious, well-ventilated and tastefully appointed. I also like this place as alternative to Starbucks for meetings and "catch-ups." Lots of great beverages to choose from and lots of space to stretch out in-between mealtimes (late morning and early afternoon). read more

A great fast casual spot that's cozy and has a wide variety of healthy salads, sandwiches/wraps, and other options, though it was a bit hit or miss on our first visit. The good: --chopped vegetable salad with salmon (a bit overcooked and not customizable) was fresh and bright, with textural variety, and a good miso ginger dressing -- Black bean hummus wrap was quite flavorful The never to be ordered again: -- side kale salad with Parmesan, garlic, lemon, and bread crumbs: this was basically a nightmare of a kale salad. It wasn't properly treated so it remained hard to chew and bitter. Honestly, it's among the worst kale salads I've ever eaten at a restaurant. With the same ingredients and adequate massaging with the lemon juice, this should have been easy to execute. --grilled chicken plate: comes with two sides and just maybe three or four pieces of boring chicken breast which look so perfectly shaped so as to be of questionable origin. Note that the only fries served here are sweet potato fries. All in all, not bad for a fast casual place, but will learn from our first visit. read more

The whole concept of Flower Child suits the changing trends in foods, naturally sourced ingredients, produce heavy, and earthy, honest flavors. The food was DELICIOUS! There was a fresh quality to the vegetables, and they were very generous with their servings! This was surprising considering how stingy a lot of restaurants are with foods such as avocados! Unfortunately, the one thing they are missing from their menu is hot coffee. We tried the Mother Earth with Tofu and the Chicken Yakisoba Noodles. The seasoning on the Yakisoba Noodles was a tad salty for me, but I think for most it would have been just fine. The restaurant is very spacious inside and there's nice, covered outdoor seating with umbrellas. It is very popular The restaurant is self service in regards to Utensils, napkins, and water. You grab a number at the register, and they'll bring the food to your table. Parking in the lot is free. We'll definitely be going back to try other bowls and salads! read more

The Wildwood location in Bethesda is my favorite place to eat. The people are friendly and happy and the food is healthy and delicious. Cheerful and light-filled place to eat. Brooke is an asset to the restaurant with her cheerful and attentive attitude. But honestly everyone is enjoying their time helping and providing customer service . The menu does change but there are fixed staples that you can count on. Try the desserts and starters as well. You will be pleasantly surprised. Wide assortment of drinks! It is a great place to meet with friends and family or colleagues anytime. I highly recommend this restaurant for food and/or drinks and snacks anytime. Take out and parking is always available. read more

Absolutely delicious lunch at Flower Child. Everything tastes so fresh, and you can tell the quality of the food just by looking at it. I got the Glow Bowl with chicken and my mom ordered the steak with a side of cauli risotto and broccoli. My only complaint is it's definitely a pricy lunch, but I would rather pay a bit more for food I feel good about eating, so it doesn't bother me for a periodic visit. read more

One of my absolute favorite places to get lunch. Their menu has loads of delicious and unique vegan and vegetarian options, as well as some meat ones. Online, they also have nutritional info, which I appreciate. I've frequently ordered through DoorDash, but their location is also cute, with both indoor and outdoor seating. I went with my parents and they really liked it! read more

Flower Child Bethesda is an excellent spot! Stopped here for lunch after seeing it on my way to work. I ordered ahead on their website and decided to try two meals (they have a $10 off $20 coupon if you sign up for emails!). The steak wrap had great flavors. I enjoyed the combination of the horseradish, cheese, and vinaigrette. I also appreciate that the dressing and greens are left on the side so that the wrap doesn't get soggy! The ginger crunch salad was exactly what I wanted it to be. Crunchy and delicious. The mint and ginger miso combo with the sweetness of the peppers and carrots -- yum! The salad is a good portion size too and I had plenty leftover, between the two entrees. You can sit indoors or outdoors even with online orders, and they have a cutlery station near the drinks so I could avoid using disposables while I sat and ate. Bonus points for this!! Staff were friendly and parking is easy, as it's a large lot. I very much enjoyed this visit and will be back again soon! Highly recommend read more

Absolutely love Flower Child in Bethesda. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared, with so many great options whether you're eating clean or just want something that tastes good and makes you feel good. The atmosphere is bright and welcoming, and the staff is consistently friendly and efficient. It's one of my go-to spots when I want a healthy meal without sacrificing flavor. Highly recommend! read more

Those chicken enchiladas were probably the best enchiladas I have had in my life. Most phenomenal meal yet, highly recommend this spot if you are in the Bethesda area. The ambiance is so bright and instantly gets you ready to eat. Combined with the fact that the service is absolutely amazing. We were served quickly. Anabella was so helpful throughout our meal, she was attentive and made sure that everyone was satisfied. She is a great asset to the this team, with her bright and helpful attitude. read more

I've become a regular online delivery patron of Flower Child. After the regrettable close of one of my favorite local spots, I was worried I would find a replacement. I am not really into veganism for all the social justice reasons. I am a very happy omnivore. That said, I do on occasion want a strong plant-based option. What I really appreciate about Flower Child is the excellent quality to price ratio. I think back in January, I went a sold week and a half eating nothing but the Mother Earth bowl with tofu and chicken. Okay fine..a FEW times it was just with tofu. The important takeaway was that the combination of flavors played harmoniously. There was a diversity of textures which sated my meat loving tendencies. I particularly enjoy the deep umami of the marinated portobello mushrooms, the sweet zing of the red pepper miso they glaze the sweet potatoes with, and the verdant punch of the broccoli pesto. I don't care that the food was easily processed by my body or led to less CO2 emissions or any of the other discussions about a plant based diet. I eat the food because it is delicious and satisfying and incredibly well priced.. If the only thing YOU care about is flavor and satisfaction, might I humbly suggest you give Flower Child a try. Plant based well, my friends. read more

Is there really anything better than Flower Child? I'll wait. Came back while I was in the area to try something different off the menu - the Chicken Enchiladas. Still got my side of mac and cheese though, don't worry. SERIOUSLY. SO. GOOD. Okay, granted in my photo you can't even really see any enchiladas. I KNOW. They're there. They were told with a slaw and mashed avocado. The enchilada tortillas had a crispy edge to them, and the sauce?!?! Amazing. Shredded chicken was delicious and not dry at all for me. It kind of tasted like....a pizza? Is that weird? But it was so good. Like. I grabbed a take out container before the food came because I thought I wasn't going to finish it all. But I did. Mac and cheese #2 this time, gotta say, it wasn't velvety smooth cheese like the first time. This time the pasta was almost dry and didn't get that smooth creaminess at all. Only a little disappointed because truly, love love Flower Child. And I got to sit outside on a nice day so 10/10. read more

Wry fresh, creative food. Healthy and appetizing with numerous types of cuisines to choose from. My family of four had Mexican, middle eastern, American, and Asian dishes and everything was great. Nice looking dining room. Fast casual so you order at the counter and food is brought to you at the table. Only complaint is that there are a lot of items with a lot of ingredients so it takes a little while to figure out what you want and the line can move slowly when they're busy. Not a major problem, but FYI. We forgot to take photos of our food read more

Another great lunch. My favorite spot and Macy is ALWAYS cheerful and welcoming. I'll be back.

I had a sneaky suspicion that this place was hyped up for the health food factor and not for the actual food. And I was correct. My salmon was flavor. Listen, dry, my sweet potato fries that were roasted we're very chewy. My rose lemonade was very sweet without a lot of flavor. In the only good thing I can say is the Moroccan sweet potato soup was great! If you love, true foods, you'll love this restaurant, but if you feel like it is over priced, unseasoned, food. We agree. read more

If you're looking for a nourishing, healthy, natural, and wholesome meal then this place is for you!!! Never been to a ~healthier~ restaurant in my life. Don't let that scare you away, Flower Child helps give healthy food a good reputation. I got the Ginger Miso Crunch salad and added tofu. It was so good, specifically the dressing which I think I could've drank by itself. Another thing I loved about this place is that they had tons of vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. They also have meat and other non vegan/veg options, so they really have something for everyone. If I lived in the area this would be my go to lunch spot. Highly recommend giving it a try. read more

Recently dined at this healthier options establishment and found the food to be quite good. Ordering was straightforward and the staff were helpful. However, I was a bit surprised with the portion sizes as they were smaller than I expected. In terms of value, I would say it's average considering the quality of ingredients used, but expected slightly larger portions for the price. Place is located in a shopping plaza, plenty of parking and even outdoor seating if desired. read more

Given all the positive reviews, I was really looking forward to my first visit to Flower Child. Though I loved the food, which I thought was very tasty and creatively put together, the customer service left much to be desired. I got there at around 2:00pm on the Wednesday after Christmas. The restaurant was nearly empty -- and while there was plenty of staff laughing and joking with one another -- I waited some time before someone came to take my order at the takeout line. After I placed my order, I was told to wait until my name was called. I sat at a table next to the register, occupied myself, and waited. After about 35 minutes, I realized that it was taking an awfully long time. I went up to the cashier -- there were about five of them huddling around the front gossiping about personal affairs -- and I asked if someone could please check on my order. One of them casually said, "oh, your order came out already. Someone should have called you." He then went to fetch my order that was placed on a nearby rack. Without even an apology or explanation, he thrust my order at me, said, "cheers," and walked back to his colleagues to resume gossiping. Fittingly, I arrived at my destination only to find no napkins or utensils in the bag. Again, while I thought the food was excellent -- though cold -- the careless, lackadaisical, and uncaring attitude really put a damper on my overall experience. The food is great, but the service was very disappointing. read more

I didn't even realize this was here for months, because the name didn't seem like a restaurant. I had the chicken enchiladas, they were pretty good. The turkey and guida wrap had too much oil and mayo and too little turkey and cheese. They do have gluten free options so I will definitely try more of their menu. There is plenty of seating both inside and out. read more
