The food was so tasty I forgot to take photos. Everything was beautifully prepared. The Turkish eggs were light and had great umami. The avocado toast was a delicious and delectable presentation of tomatoes and whipped ricotta with mint and shaved radish garnishes.

The shakshouka was an amazing balance of salt, fat, acid and heat that would make Samin Nosrat swoon.

The cappuccini didn’t disappoint either.

We stumbled in here and it was a wonderful vibe of good people, and fun decor.

Run, don’t walk. You won’t be disappointed.

Overall just ok. I was hoping for a lot more given the positive reviews and pictures.

Food was slightly above average. Coffee was well below average. I just don’t understand how a brunch spot can miss so badly on coffee?!

Also, our party of six was forced to leave a large party tip on the total post-tax bill. Really just annoying. Can’t remember when my family of six was considered a large party. And then my tip was calculated on the post tax amount.

Cute place visually.. Food is extremely mid. There was a GIANT hair in our side of eggs and some smaller. They comped it which was so thoughtful! Grateful for that. Waited 20 min for the check and it wasn’t even busy. Cute inside, needs some work with staff and food quality.

Lovely brunch spot in the heart of North Park. Pretty decor with a Mediterranean influence.
Great brunch and lunch options.
A creative cocktail menu with drinks like cantaloupe martini with olive oil.
Bread Pudding dessert was bomb I would only suggest adding a simple flavored Gelato instead of whipped cream. 😋
Service attentive and efficient.

We came here with a group of 12 girls for a bachelorette party brunch and had the best time! Our server Luca was amazing. He was attentive, friendly, and made the whole brunch feel really special for the bride. The food and drinks were incredible, and the vibe of the restaurant was perfect. Highly recommend, especially if you’re celebrating something!

Such a lovely brunch spot! We visited for a Mom/Daughter date. You can tell the owner put their heart and soul into the atmosphere and menu - even the music is curated just right!

Everything on the menu is tempting and delicious - you can’t go wrong by asking your sever for a recommended favorite!

Must enjoy a hand crafted STRAWBERRY MACHA in the morning and a cocktail if the day allows for it!

You’ll love it at Flora!

We've had breakfast here a couple of times. Food is unique, creative and tasty. It's a family business where we met Ocean, who created the drink menu. It's very impressive! One trip is not enough, you need to come back to sample as much as you can. I love supporting small business and this one is no exception. Keep up the good work!

My husband and I have gone here twice now. We both agree the food is flavorful and clean. We have ordered the Turkish breakfast, the frettata, side of sausage, Nutella crepe and matcha strawberry iced drink. All items were delicious, highly recommend! We also had the pleasure of being waited on by Luka both times. He is consistent with his service, patient and pleasant. Luka we plan to come back in the future to try the chilaquiles.

I had the absolute pleasure of having lunch at Flora, and it was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. What made it truly special wasn’t just the food—which was fresh, beautifully prepared, and bursting with flavor—but the hospitality and care shown by Ocean, the owner herself, who also happened to be our waitress.

From the moment we walked in, Ocean created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. You can immediately tell how much passion she has for her restaurant and her guests. She didn’t just take our order; she shared the story behind the dishes, gave thoughtful recommendations, and made us feel like we were guests in her home rather than just customers. That kind of personal touch is rare, and it set the tone for the entire meal.

Every detail of the service was seamless. Ocean checked in at just the right moments, kept everything flowing perfectly, and made sure we were comfortable throughout. Her knowledge of the menu was incredible—she described the flavors, ingredients, and inspiration in a way that brought the dishes to life even before they arrived at the table. It made choosing what to order not just easy, but exciting.

And then, of course, the food itself was outstanding. Each plate looked as beautiful as it tasted, with fresh ingredients that really showcased quality and care. You could taste the thought and creativity in every bite, and it’s clear that Flora is more than just a restaurant—it’s Ocean’s vision and heart on display.

What stood out the most, though, was the personal connection. Ocean’s genuine warmth and attentiveness elevated the entire experience. She has a way of making you feel like more than just a guest—like part of the community Flora is building. By the time we left, we weren’t just full, we were genuinely uplifted.

Flora is a gem, and Ocean is the kind of owner who makes you want to come back again and again. If you’re looking for not only an incredible meal but also an experience that feels thoughtful, personal, and memorable, Flora is the place to be.
