Great food, great service and great ambience! Good location as well. Very unique and healthy dishes - we routinely come back for more!

This was just what I was craving mid-afternoon after hiking around Torrey Pines. We were debating just grabbing something from Whole Foods next door, but I was so excited after looking through the menu here. Parking was a challenge as tons of folks come through here on the weekends, but seating inside and outside of this restaurant was plentiful. I was overzealous and ordered the soup and the salad, but would have been fine with just one of the two. Everything was made with care and flavors and textures were spot on. I will most definitely come back to this restaurant on future visits! read more

I appreciate a healthy option for myself and my children always. I'm giving 3 stars because we came here expecting a fun kids area and there was almost nothing- a table, less than half of a Jenga set... and the food was okay but not 4-5 stars. Love a healthy meal but it wasn't the best food I've had. Also they only had one beer- a Cali Cream, which is very specific. The service was good :) and they did bring us extra cheese to help the taste of one of our salads. Overall, I'd come back occasionally but wouldn't drive out of my way. I hope they up their kids area too, since our recommendation to come here came from a kid-friendly restaurant blog. read more

Great salad and unique lemonade and tea drinks. Service is fast for salads and portions are large. There is also a lot of seating both inside and outside. read more

Don't have pictures of my wife's favorite wrap because it goes to quick. But everything we have had here makes you somehow feel better. Might be all the beautiful people that come here and work here? Or that the food is that healthy. I'll go food. Anyway, when wifey is happy the world is a better place. Parking can be tough but it's worth it and the vibe is also cool. Thank you Flower Child!!! read more

My go to lunch spot when I'm up in Del Mar! Healthy bowls and plates that actually are bursting with flavor - sign me up! There is a ton of seating here so you can hang out and work all day without feeling like you are taking someone's spot. Great place to meet clients for a work meeting! Everyone that works there is extra sweet too. When you go in, head all the way to the back on the bottom floor and you'll find a cute outdoor patio which is my favorite place to sit. It's technically in the shopping center but doesn't feel that way at all. I got the Mediterranean kebab bowl and it was fantastic. SO MUCH FLAVOR. Definitely a bit smaller of a portion but it was good so I didn't have to worry about taking anything home! You can't go wrong here! My only wish is that they made coffee too. Then it would truly be the perfect spot!! read more

I'm so bummed I forgot to take pictures. This place is so nice and lots of space. The food was good too, you order and get a number, they bring the food to you. Totally recommend if you're craving a salad, wrap or a power bowl. Food was delicious! read more

Perfect brunch spot in Del Mar! I'd advise to park a little bit further since the lot right in front tends to have cars fighting over parking space. There's also an underground garage as well. The food was amazing and filling. At first glance, portion seems a bit small. But everything was perfect together. The servers were super nice too! There's self seating. The interior is super cute! read more

Came in tonight for a late Easter Sunday dinner. We ordered take out. Ashley was in charge of expediting our food and since it was taking a little longer than expected- she offered sides to eat while waiting and gave us some cookies to go as well. She was extremely nice and very accommodating. read more

Even though I live in the area, I had never been to Flower Child until a co-worker suggested it for lunch. It was great! Here is what I noticed: - Great food selections...I got the Mother Earth Bowl, with Tofu added. It was really tasty! - Order at the counter and then go find a table. There is an incredible amount of seating, both inside and outside, and both in the front of the restaurant and downstairs toward the back. Bottom line: I'm going to be going back very soon! read more

Atmosphere was good and food was amazing. Would recommend!!! The service was quick! Good healthy restaurant!

Delicious! Food was very flavorful and fresh. Great portion sizes with a laidback ambiance. Lots of seating and located near lots of shopping. read more

Food was okay definitely more of a health conscious restaurant. I enjoyed their queso which was really good. I had their soup of the day but it was very bland. The service and the restaurant itself was great. read more

Got the steak plate w sweet potatoes and roasted broccoli, and the chicken plate w sweet potato fries and roasted brussel sprouts. Food was mostly very good. Some of the fries were burned, and the buttermilk ranch sauce didn't go well with them. Chicken was also a bit dry. Very nice outdoor seating area in the center of the mall that is isolated from traffic noise. read more

Amazing service by Brian! The food is delicious and they have so many gluten free options! Will be coming back for sure

The space is super large and cutely decorated. Food came out quickly and it was well seasoned and hot. This is a order at the front and seat yourself kind of place. Lots of options! I'm excited to try it more things. A little pricey but the meals tasted fresh and quality! read more

We love coming to flower child for lunch. The decor is great and it's always clean. Service is always good and the food is delicious with decent sized portions. Favorite things to get are the glow bowls and their sangrias. The kids meal is a great option as it includes a main entree and two sides. read more

I was in the mood for a healthy meal so we came here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. They had a steady stream of customer but it didn't seem too busy. We got the chicken entree with gluten-free mac and cheese and Thai cucumber and cantaloupe and also the Thai Dye wrap. Everything tasted great. The chicken with the Mac and cheese was very good. One of the best tasting gluten free pastas I have had in a while. The Thai cucumber and cantaloupe side was okay. Not sure that I liked the blend of flavors with the mint. My son wasn't too impressed with his lunch. He didn't like the texture of the tortilla wrap. So overall the food was okay. The location of the restaurant was good. It's in the Flower Hill Mall and parking was pretty easy. Service was very good - very friendly and helpful. You order at the counter and then they bring your food. The ambience of the restaurant was very open and bright. There's a lot of seating since they have seating on the main level, the downstairs area, and outdoor area. I know I will be returning here. read more

Always enjoy the food here but it definitely takes quite a while for online to-go orders. If the restaurant opens at 11am, don't expect to get your food before 1130. The rotating iced teas and lemonades are tasty (rose petal lemonade and mango passion tea for me today). The patio area is nice and has umbrellas. read more

Great food and friendly staff! I highly recommend this restaurant for healthy food. I pick up dinner at least twice a week.

4+ Excellent vegan options & offering plenty of open space both indoor and outdoor. The indoor area's doors are open, thus allowing for good airflow making it a safe option. It took a while for our order to come but service was very friendly. You got an order at the counter they give you a number and then they bring you the food. Self-service water and utensils Clean bathroom. Cute murals. Vegan chocolate pudding. Many vegan and gluten free options. read more

Flower Child is the best so healthy and yummy !! Service is good they are Súper friendly!

Another great recommendation from our son & wife. We had brunch today. This is located in a fun little shopping center with other restaurants & shops. There was plenty of seating inside (upper and lower sections) and some outside seating. Nice little touch, while reading the outside menu, they have a station of Lemon Water and disposable cups. I order an entree with Salmon, Sweet Potatoes & Roasted Broccoli. Perfect size for 1 person, the salmon needed a bit more seasoning but was cooked perfectly. The sides, just wow.....Sweet potatoes where soft and sway very well. The broccoli roasted and dusted with parmesan cheese. Never had roasted broccoli, man was it tasty. Rose Pedal Lemonade mix 50/50 with Decaf Açaí tea was refreshing. For dessert we had a lemon muffin topped with olive oil. So much flavor and moist. Another place we will visit when in town again. read more

So many healthy, clean eating options! I ordered the Mother Earth bowl which had strips of chicken breast, quinoa, avocado, mixed greens, and my favorite part, creamy sweet potatoes. I could eat a whole bowl of their sweet potatoes. They're that good! Plenty of indoor and outdoor dining for you to seat yourself in this beautiful space. read more

I typically like to visit a place more than once prior to reviewing but Flower Child made a great impression and I just couldn't resist. Located at the Del Mar Flower Hill Promenade, the parking can be a little congested but with a complimentary parking garage located in the back side of the plaza, you will have plenty of parking available within a convenient walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants. Order at the counter, take a number and the team will bring you your meal once it's ready. There are a handful of tables upstairs with plenty of additional seating both outside on the patio as well as in the downstairs area. The 12 - 1:30pm lunch crowd is sure to keep this place packed around this time frame so be prepared for a bit of a wait on the food - but don't worry, it'll be worth the wait. The team here is great! From the person at the counter taking your order, to the waitresses, the guys in the kitchen having fun while cranking out the meals - You can tell that everyone is enjoying themselves while taking great care of the patrons. The menu is just amazing - And there is a little something for everyone no matter what your preferences are {vegan, paleo, gluten-free, etc}. The ingredients are farm fresh and brought straight to your dish! What are you craving? Choose from delicious starters like Avocado Toast or Fresh Hummus, stunning Salads, Bowls and stacked Entree's - And since each dish sounds better than the last, it's going to be difficult to choose. As always, I just had to get a salad - The Chopped Veggie Salad with Grilled Chicken. This salad is stuffed with Organic Greens, Romaine, Snap Peas, Heirloom Carrots, Tomato, Radishes, Avocado and topped with a spectacular Ginger Miso Vinaigrette and Toasted Sesame Seeds - One of the BEST salads I've ever had! And that dressing is to die for! I'm looking forward to my next visit and already know what I'm going to get - The Mother Earth Bowl! Online ordering and to-go is also available if you do not want to dine in-house. If you are looking for a fresh, healthy and oh so delicious meal - Flower Child is the way to go! read more

I came here for a group event and the host reserved a space for the 18 of us. It wasn't crowded at noon on a Sunday. I ordered the kid's portion with chicken, broccoli, and Mac and cheese. The chicken was flavorful, broccoli was plain even though it had Parmesan cheese. It was less than $10 and a good portion for the price. Staff was friendly, you order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. read more

I love flower child! The staff is so friendly and helpful. The food is also so delish. My absolute favorite is their cashew chocolate chip cookie it is sooo yummy. Would 100% recommend flower child read more

I've been here a few times now and it's usually my go-to pit stop between San Diego and LA. It's a chain, but it doesn't feel like one. Everything is always healthy and fresh. This place is a dream for the vegan, gluten free crowd, which is normally not my bag, but Flower Child pulls it off well. I usually get the kale salad with steak, but you can't go wrong with anything from the rather sizable menu. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Many thanks to employee Bong Victa. Always attentive, friendly, & happy. Makes the dining experience that much more enjoyable when craving healthy food from Flower Child. read more

I thought things would have changed but was disappointed about my recent experience at this location. The food serving looked a bit less but they keep saying it has been the same for months. Okay... Thanks. Bye. read more

I dig this place, as my previous reviews show. But. Over the last two trips a problem has been emerging. The temperature of food. 2x my GF Friends food came out COLD! Like you can stick your finger in it cold. She sent it back. Just to warm up. Came back out.... And not hot. My food was tepid, not hot. I can attest that the GF Mac and cheese is significantly better when HOT!! I don't know if it's a kitchen issue or a staffing issue, not getting plates to the table in a timely fashion. Either way it has slipped from a 5star to a 2star.... Go enjoy tepid food. It's good food, but not hot. We reported this to the manager on duty. She wanted to do everything she could to make it right. She was going to talk to the staff. And I asked her for a piping hot Mac and cheese, I said maybe just pop in the microwave. Well fancy this, they don't have a microwave!!! Makes Me love them more. She had the chef make it super hot. When it's that hot, you can't tell it's GF, when it's less the hot hot hot, it tastes grainy. She took care of today's lunch. She also invited us back again for a re-do. Talk about a manager who is willing to make it right for the customer!! read more

This restaurant has been on my radar for a while. It's so CUTE! And, we're always on the lookout for a good sandwich or salad. Since we had big plans for the evening, we decided to eat light. We both ordered the Turkey & Avocado Cobb ($13.50). It was smaller than we thought, but it was deliciously perfect! We will be back the next time we are in town to try their wraps. read more

When I think of a restaurant that serves healthy food, Flower Child is one that often comes to mind. I appreciate how their food is made from scratch, and with healthy ingredients. They cater to different dietary lifestyles including omnivorous, keto, gluten free, vegetarian and vegan. If you prefer to try a variety of their food, then I recommend to pick a protein + 2 sides option. However, I chose to pick three sides (Mac and cheese, Brussel sprouts, sweet corn and quinoa) since I wasn't feeling the protein that day. My favorite out of the three sides has to be the sweet corn and quinoa with Greek yogurt. I am not a huge fan of Greek yogurt, but the way they made the sweet corn and quinoa reminds me of eating Mexican sweet corn (elote) but a much healthier option! I admittedly tried to search for Pinterest dupes but was unsuccessful unfortunately! The Mac and cheese was good but tasted even better because it was gluten free. However, I need to remind myself that gluten free does not equal carb free! The Brussel sprouts were good but a tad salty. read more
