    But of course I would be drawn to Flower Child! I looove this place. It's actually one of my favorites to eat lunch at. Yesss, Flower Child for life!! It has a warm and nice atmosphere with lovely friendly service from the staff. My meals always arrived in just a couple of minutes... never a long wait time. Everything I've ordered was delicious and healthy. The flavors blended sooo well together...compliments to the chefs. Highly recommend it to the Yelp Community!!!

    Such great customer service I had to update my review . Haven't been here in a while . Decided to stop in after races .

    Saturday, 3-25-2026: After trying FC in Las Vegas, we had to try this one in Del Mar. We stopped for a late lunch here before continuing to the San Diego Home & Garden Show at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. When we first arrived, we noticed it had the same artsy, loft vibe & decor as the one in Las Vegas. At first glance it seemed like it had a small interior but then we noticed the stairs to get to a lower level to the left of us. This led to a very spacious room! Love the decor and the layout. There's more seating outdoors, which we attempted but it had too cold of a breeze so we decided to sit indoors. We were greeted warmly by a nice young man at the counter. My hubby told him we had eaten at the FC in Las Vegas and he told us he was going to train as a manager in Las Vegas. I ordered the Chicken Yakisoba Bowl and hubby ordered the Chicken Entree with brown rice and sweet potato fries with dip. We easily found a table in the lower level as there was hardly anybody down there. But, as the time progressed it became full with young soccer players and their respective families. Apparently, the soccer games ended in the nearby fields & they all descended upon FC. Our food came out quickly. I savored my Chicken Yakisoba Bowl chock full of crispy vegetables and flavorful chicken. It was huge so I had to take leftovers to go. My hubby loved his meal, too. We look forward to returning here where they serve delicious, healthy offerings and friendly customer service.

    Always a great clean meal at Flower child. Service is great and many healthy options to choose from! This time I tried the Peruvian braised beef bowl and it was great. Definitely will be in my rotation of places to come to when going out.

    ...clean, convenient spot right near the racetrack. healthy menu options. i ordered the french dip wrap. 5/5 on flavor and it was satisfying, even for my big appetite. service was excellent and our dine in order came out pretty quickly. my only critique is that the wrap should be wrapped in paper. the artisan tortilla was a bit soggy from the salad placed underneath. highly recommend after a day at the races or after the fair.

    My husband and I went to San Diego to celebrate our 10th anniversary, and we found this place while exploring. The customer service was great, the vibe was good, and the food was excellent. My husband, for once, did not complain; he loved everything about it.

    The food was really tasty! The service good, It's a quick service spot, but everyone we did talk to was really nice. The ambience is nice. They have tables inside and outside so of the weather is nice. You can sit outside and enjoy the sun or if it's too hot.

    Vegans and vegetarians rejoice as Flower Child blossoms in this busy shopping center serving a plethora of health-conscious dishes balanced in nutritional value, flavor and texture. This packed parking lot seldomly has spots near the storefronts but if you venture further out, you should be able to find some spaces sprinkled throughout the lot. There's a good bit of churn so even if it's full during peak times, you'll eventually find a spot after circling a bit. Flower Child has a pretty big footprint within the mall hosting an upper area with a more cafe feel with smaller tables and stools and a lower area with larger tables and booths. The register is on the top level where you'll place your order for takeout or dine in. If you do dine in, they'll give you a number to place at the table you end up sitting for their staff to deliver the food to you. Their menu is quite extensive ranging from wraps and salads to more traditional American entrees with a combination of meat and side dishes. For those with dietary restrictions, you're bound to find something that fits your craving. Their sides are probably the highlight given the variety and richness in flavors. I ended up getting the salmon entree which got completely overshadowed by its two sides. The salmon itself was overcooked and lacked in flavor yet was serviceable in boosting the protein content of the meal. The mac and cheese was creamy and hearty despite being gluten free, however, I'd prefer more bite to it. The cauliflower was flavorful and was super enjoyable to eat due to its tenderness and size variability between pieces. As a whole, the dish had everything you'd want but individually, they wouldn't have stood up on their own. In addition to the savory, the sweets are also something to consider. The chocolate chip cashew cookie has great texture as you bite into the chunky yet moist dessert. The crunch from the nuts and the soft, sweetness from the chocolate make this decedent snack a great capstone to your meal. We also ordered one of their sangrias to share among the table and it was quite refreshing. It wasn't too complex in flavor but it was a nice change up to the typical tap water. The staff were very friendly throughout the meal service including the one who took our order and the one who served our meal. Overall, Flower Child clearly is making a statement with its menu full of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free items. Their dietary inclusive environment welcomes all types of eaters to come enjoy their creations while maintaining a balance of all the food groups. The execution of their dishes are a bit lackluster and some items, even their prized sides, are hit or miss. The prices are reasonable for the variety of food you're getting but the portion size is on the smaller side. If you happen to be in the area and are looking for a good combination of healthy ingredients for a quick meal, then Flower Child might be a good option for you. Personally, I wouldn't travel far for this but if you're looking for a healthy detox while needing to eat out, it's not a bad option!

    Chocolate Chip Cashew Cookie
    Jemiah J.

    Came here from Pilates Class. Food was delicious! I love the layout of the restaurant and bright ambiance. The service was great too. Food: Mediterranean Chicken Kabob - Delicious flavor! Veggies & chicken cooked perfectly and I loved the fluffiness of the rice with quinoa. I also enjoyed how the veggies still have some crunch and they weren't mushy. Avocado Hummus with Pita & Raw Veggies - Fresh crunchy veggies, the colorful carrots were my favorite, pita was packed with healthy grains and tasty. Avocado hummus was the best part. Chocolate Chip Cashew Cookie- I love a good chocolate chip cookie. Perfectly chewy and a bit of crunch. It has just the right amount of buttery flavor and the chocolate was fantastic. The cashew and coconut were pleasant additions too. Loved it!! For healthy and tasty meals in the Flower Hill Promenade at Del Mar give this restaurant a try!

    Seasonal sangria
    Natalya S.

    I always go to Flower child if i crave a heathy, nourishing but hearty salad or a warm bowl with veggies and protein. This fast casual restaurant offers healthy and balanced meals. The kids menu is excellent and doesn't have any fried ingredients and fairly priced. There is a beautiful and large outdoor back patio with plenty of shade. I love trying their seasonal sangrias ! its a counter order place, so service is minimal yet polite. My only suggestion for them to offer coffee and some breakfast or brunch forward choices.

    Flower child never misses. Their menu is versatile and inclusive (lots of gluten free and vegetarian options). You order at the counter and your food is delivered to you. We had our food on the table in less than 10 mins of ordering. Very spacious and lots of places to sit inside and out.

    Time and time again, the food here always tastes so fresh and healthy without feeling heavy! If you're a cheese lover don't miss the queso dip appetizer, it's rich, creamy, and seriously addictive. Their seasonal dishes are also worth trying! The interior at this location is spacious and beautiful, with additional seating downstairs and outdoor patios. Service was friendly and efficient. Wish they had more locations in the SoCal area!

My one friend said that this is the only place she can get this particular cocktail and that she comes here just for it. I ordered 2 tacos (Mr. Asparagus and the Baja fish taco). Both delicious and they came with housemade potato chips (which I thought was weird until I tasted them). I was so full but I couldn't not eat the chips because they were so good.

Honestly, 9/10 for a veggie taco because the filling was well seasoned and dressed. The asparagus taco was unfortunately a different story. The asparagus was prepared well, crunchy on the outside but still tender when you bite into it. However, it was not seasoned as well and paled in comparison to the Yogi. The shrimp taco was okay. I think they were very heavy handed with the toppings and dressings and did little in terms of the actual preparation of the shrimp. The chicken taco on the other hand was DELICIOUS. The meat was seasoned well and so juicy. The pineapple salsa was the perfect touch!

Date gets some brownie points for chosing this spot, maybe this could go somewhere haha. Parking is a situation here. But if you go past the restaurant, there is some parking on the road and in small lot meant for those enjoying nature. I felt bad taking one of these spots. There is paid public parking on the corner before the restaurant and valet is available at this brewery. I need to figure out another way to get here... On a Sunday afternoon, place had people but it wasnt mobbed. Baseball game and Del Mar horse races were showing on the TVs. But, don't come here to watch TV, look outside! I saw some very good bird action, including an egret doing some weird strutting in the lush greenery. I am bummed I forgot to bring my binoculars but I will be back here again soon with binocs ready! I started off with a hefeweisen and that was good, date had a Mexican lager x 2. I had the ceviche (pretty good) and had the aioli on the side. Date had a sandwich of some kind and copious amounts of fries. It took a lot of will power for me to not have any of those fries, they looked so yummy! I also had a watermelon beer, this had hints of watermelon flavor and I enjoyed it. Great spot for large groups too as there were a few large parties sitting in the "outside" space. Hostess initially asked if we wanted to sit "inside" or "outside," and I was confused as it all looked like outside to me haha. I guess this is SoCal, everything is open air. This is a nice spot to have convo, very spacious, lots of nice tables, we sat at a high top. I love perching higher up, kinda of like a bird haha! Waitresses here were all very good, some very cute too (eye candy is always appreciated). Overall, a really fun way to spend a Sunday summer afternoon! I'll be back!

The restaurant is really loud when crowded and you can only talk to the person right next to you, but that worked ok in a group of 7 anyway--we just had multiple mini conversations. If you're planning a large group gathering, you might have to play musical chairs to catch up with everyone, unless everyone has naturally loud voices that carry. Most of the people in our group ordered beers, but I ordered a nonalcoholic prickly pear hibiscus ginger beer which was ok--pretty subtle, but it quenches the thirst all the same. I ordered the Farmer's burger (black bean) with added avocado and a side salad which comes with a lemon vinaigrette. I had to eat it with a knife and fork after removing the top bun. Very tasty. My daughter ordered crispy shrimp tacos which she really enjoyed. Most people ordered the backyard burger which looked pretty good--choice of fries or side salad. Freddy our server was friendly and helpful. Overall a good dining experience!
