    Tofu with kale salad and Roasted Sweet Potato Fries
    Zee C.

    Gorgeous place outside and in! Employees were friendly and helpful. I had mixed feelings about the food. It was different from what I expected. The sweet potatoes fried came out lukewarm and kind of soggy. The kale salad was chewy and one-note, heavily coated in dressing. The glow bowl was fine--sweet potato noodles were noodles made of potatoes rather than made with them (like pasta) and nice and crunchy. Some of the chicken was dry.

    I had a really nice visit to Flower Child! I got the Bang Bang Beef (limited-time dish) and the chicken enchiladas. I will say, the price was a little on the higher end, but the staff was incredibly kind and efficient. One dish came out a bit faster than the other, but they were super sweet about it. The Bang Bang Beef was definitely the crowd favorite, and it's easy to see why. The interior was beautiful, and the patio was perfect for a sunny day which is great for a quick lunch with friends or family if you're in the Frontenac area. Overall, a solid spot!

    Chopped vegetable salad with steak and a side of steamed brown rice

    First let me call out the team at Flower Child for their continued awesome level of service. I have a delightful experience every time I come by and I'm in there almost every week at some point for lunch or dinner. Food quality is always on point too. Fresh vegetables and greens in the salads. Perfectly cooked proteins. I'd recommend the salmon or steak on the chopped vegetable salad any time. Can't miss healthy and flavorful eats and good service in a clean establishment. Gotta love it!! Enjoy!!!

    Get the macaroni and cheese. You order first, then they set you up with a table. Came here for a working lunch, unfortunately it was a bit loud for the work we wanted to do, due to its fantastic location, the library is right across the street. I am trying to increase protein in my diet and even though the menu took me a second to figure out, it is set up very well. You pick a protein, then pick the 2 sides you want with it. I was feeling cheesy, so I got the Mac and cheese and the cauliflower risotto. Strange combination, but I'm glad I got to try them. If I was still doing keto/low carb I would have loved the risotto, but next to the mac and cheese, M&C was the best. So creamy, great flavor, it is gluten free, but there were some delightful crumbles on top. The salmon was cooked to perfection, I definitely look forward to getting salmon here again. Service, was minimal, but also very good. Since you pay and order at the front, it was a delight that they also checked on us when we were eating.

    Very interesting restaurant. Right away when we entered, a guy asked us if we are dining in, and he assigned us a number and put said number on a table for us. We ordered at the counter and headed to the table he chose for us. The food potions are small, but very well seasoned and delicious. I guess they did say they are a health forward restaurant. The place is very lively and nicely decorated. Price is very reasonable. Nice drink selection. Located right next to Plaza Frontenac so there are plenty of parking outside.

    Wow, it's like an addiction at this point.. I can't stay away. My go to is the steak entree with the smashed gold potato and sweet corn & quinoa. Occasionally, I'll get the chicken entree with the same sides. Or their famous avocado Caesar - this dressing is to die for! I've tried the kung POW cauliflower, gluten free Mac and cheese, red chili glazed sweet potato, roasted broccoli, and sweet potato fries (get extra of their house made yogurt ranch)! Honestly, you can't go wrong with any decision you make here. I'll forever be a proud regular at Flower Child.

    I love this spot and come here often with friends. I would describe this place as a perfect spot for lunch or dinner with the girls. Cute decor and a health consideration menu that feels indulgent while hitting all of your macro goals! You order your meal at the register, take a number, and find your seat. Then, one of the friendly workers will bring you your meal. Drinks (excluding alcohol) are self-service, as are utensils. The menu focuses on whole foods and had plenty of vegan and gluten-free offerings (important to my friends!) I usually get the shrimp bowl with cauliflower risotto and chili glazed sweet potato but I have also tried their glow bowl (pictured) and their ginger miso salad, both of which I enjoyed. This place isn't cheap, but I feel the value is appropriate when you factor in health and ambiance. Could you make it cheaper yourself? Sure. But would you?

    The food was great. I had the Mother Earth Bowl with a side of sweet potato fries. The fries came with a rich yogurt dipping sauce that was delicious. The bowl contained ancient grains, sweet potato, portobello mushroom, avocado, cucumber, broccoli pesto, charred onion, leafy greens, red pepper miso vinaigrette, and hemp seed. It was really good. I loved all the flowers and decor inside. I especially liked the tables and chairs. The service was great as well. My fries were lukewarm and I asked for warm fries and the server/runner gladly replaced them with hot fries.

    Flower child is an elevated but fast casual restaurant that offers a variety of healthy but tasty food options. This restaurant is conveniently located next to the Frontenac mall/lifetime fitness. The service is counter service and then the staff bring out the food to you. They offer a variety of salads, bowls, wraps, and entrees. I ordered the chicken Yaki soba with tofu on top and a side of gluten free Mac and cheese. The sauce on both dishes was tasty but I did need to add extra salt to the tofu/Yaki soba noodles. Overall I enjoyed the meal. I do think it is a bit pricy but I would come back if I were looking for a healthy option and am in a pinch.

    Pineapple Orange Guava sangria
    Ashley R.

    I've heard great things about this place and decided to check it out. I came around 12 for lunch and it wasn't overly crowded but steady. The staff is so nice and friendly and could tell we were new. I wanted to try their lemonade but once I saw the sangria, i had to give it a try. They give you a number and you seat yourself. The tables are close to each other but still a cool environment for lunch. Since this was our first time coming, I didn't know you could grab your napkins and utensils by the drink station but the staff grabbed these items for me after handing me my food. The avocado caesar salad with chicken added was really good. I enjoyed the avocado dressing that came with it. I can't recall what my friend ordered but she said it was really good too. Maybe a little salty but still really good and she would order again. The sangria was really refreshing and so tasty. So many other menu options I would like to try which means I'll return for more.

    Mediterranean Chicken Kabob Glow Bowl with Salmon
    Kalin K.

    I was a little intimidated by this spot because of my food allergies being all over the menu, but they more than exceeded my expectations! Both people at the register were diligent to note my allergies on my order and provide me an allergen menu. My friend had the chicken Mediterranean bowl and said it perfectly balanced all of the flavors. I had the glow bowl with salmon which also knocked it out of the park. Fresh, clean ingredients to nourish you all in the cutest spot. Next time you're around here, stop in!

    I've had this place on my list for a while and my colleagues couldn't have picked a better day to come! We got there a little after 11 (which I was glad) and although there was a small line, it moved rather quickly. There were so many things I wanted to try but I finally decided on the Avocado Caesar with shrimp as a protein and a side of sweet potato fries. After ordering, they handed me a table number (open seating and there's plenty to choose from. Our food arrived after what seemed like mere minutes! I wasn't sure how big the portions would be but they were plentiful! The salad exceeded my expectations but the show winner was the dressing! It's not heavy and leaves a nice taste in your mouth. I'd describe it as a little tangy and would put the regular Caesar dressing to shame! The fries were pretty good but I wished they were as crispy as the other ones I saw. Overall, the food was well-seasoned and the portions were on point. I love the healthy concept and how friendly everyone was. I can't want to come back and try more dishes.

    Steak, Mac n cheese and Parmesan broccoli!

They didn't skimp on the avocado spread, but it was way too much and practically layered. Although the bread was soft, all the spread made it soggy and weighed down.

Everything was delicious. The cookies and cream was a chocolate chip cookies with Oreos and it was probably the best chocolate chip cookies I've had in a long time.

    "Absence makes the heart grow fonder... (or in this case the stomach grow hungrier!)"…read more I've done Sauce on the Side before, as they delivered calzones to the office and we did staff lunch using them (at least back when I was on that part of the staff) and they were as I recall "agonizingly delicious" calzones. So, I figured, I've got to do it again, this time to make sure my memory was clear and correct. And since one of their more recent locations was right by my office.. AND i had just got paid. Why not, right? Anyway, we're going to keep this one kinda short and sweet, since I didn't do a dine in, but rather another grab and go... (yet, again I forgot the foodie pictures! what's wrong with me? I remember to get buildings and backgrounds and forget the important part!) Small smokehouse salad and the monthly special for August. Gyros style Calzone! (yes, only one special runs for a whole month, so when Sept 1st rolls around, the Gyros are gone!). Now I'm going to say plain and simple the food was as good as I remember (I think before I became a Yelpie foodie person, it was "always Chicken Doodle" calzones. I got in a comfort zone, but with my obligations to be as entertaining as possible (at least I hope these are), I had to go for the monthly special for something different... So see Yelpsters: Variety makes you a better food critic. NO more same ol' same ol' or me anymore either. Risk take I will! (remember to read that last line in a Yoda accent, makes it work better (I Hope)!) As for the restaurant of SOTS itself, it's reasonably spacious, three TV's and a little bit of artwork for the walls.. Just the perfect lunch time from work, or afterwork dinner spot or a quick meal. The waitress you could tell was ready to get out of there for the night, but she tried with a smile (so "thumbs up" to her) Anyway, I will say the calzones and salads were as good as I remember them, but surprisingly I will say .. they're not as big as I remember? I just used to remember the calzones delivered to the office felt larger while these, as well packed as they are, didn't seem as big. But that's my _only_ complaint with any SOTS calzone, because they are stuffed to the 'rafters' with the contents and the salads look and feel about what i remember. (so no punishment for the 'feeling' of small.). Serving time was about 13 minutes, but that never bothers me much anymore, being a patient "old man". I got all the time in the world to savor the good things in life. And SOTS Calzone's _are_ one of those good things in life and while the "fonder" wasn't what I recall, this is still one of the best lunch / dinner stops for anyone in the area. And that's saying something, since I've got a few more Creve Coeur locations I have to start preparing a memory trip for!

When I walked in, I was greeted immediately…read moreand the attendant was quick to answer any questions I had regarding the menu and products. I noticed they had more than smoothies, and my eyes immediately went to the juice case. They have quite the selection of pressed juices, shots, protein balls, and other things. After scanning the menu, I got the peanut butter and banana toast, nirvana pressed juice, and birthday cake protein balls. She asked if I was a member of Orange Theory and I said, "no." They have a special partnership with them that I think includes a certain percentage off, so maybe I should become a member! I drank the juice first and tried one of the protein balls while I was waiting on my toast. The juice was refreshing and on the sweeter side, which is what I wanted. The protein ball was good, but the after taste was a little odd. Perhaps it was the flavor? It was recommended by person working. Although I'm not writing it off entirely, I may have better luck with the other flavors (cookie dough, peanut butter, snickerdoodle, and red velvet). It didn't take long before my toast was ready and I was on my way. I managed to sneak a few bites in before I made it home and they more than exceeded my expectations. For the record, any place that uses Union Loafers bread can do no wrong in my book. The toast was quite savory and I def enjoyed it more with each bite. Fyi, they lay the pb on pretty thick, so make sure you chew thoroughly! All in all, a solid protein packed meal all around. I hate that I got full after one piece, so let's hope I can finish the other piece later!

After you deal with the parking, which can be a bit inconvenient as it's in a crowded intersection and parking lot - though I noticed neon banana has a few dedicated parking spots for 5 minute parking which helps! - you find the cute little locally-owned shop amongst the strip mall. What I first noticed & loved was the vibe and concept of the shop! The literal bananas around are fun & def has a mildly-funky-but-still-upscale vibe. I knew to expect juices and smoothies but was pleasantly surprised to find a few other food items like bread, broth, protein balls, overnight oats, and more. I tend to be basic with my tastes so I was hesitant to try some of their smoothies with elaborate ingredients. I chatted with the friendly cashier/smoothie extraordinaire & I said I was leaning towards the regular strawberry but wanted to try something a little out of my comfort zone, but not too far out. She recommended the neon banana (COCONUT WATER, ORANGE JUICE, BANANA, PINEAPPLE, MANGO, BLUE MAJIK (BLUE SPIRULINA/COCONUT WATER). I'm so glad I tried - it's delicious! They're also willing to customize. When I mentioned I don't love coconut, she said she could take out the coconut water. The blue spirulina wasn't my fave but the flavor & the rest of the smoothie was amaze, would def get again. The cons: It is pricey, this particular 16oz smoothie being $10.95. Also, the hours are somewhat limited, closing most days at 4:30. However - I don't know of too many locally owned smoothie cafes so I think the juice is worth the squeeze on this one ;) I could see myself coming back for a late morning or early afternoon snack, for sure getting the neon banana again or trying some of the other flavors. I'd probably avoid busy times of day like lunch or commute times. It would probably be a once in awhile splurge place, but would love to make it back again!
