Super cute, perfect vibes, family owned business. Budget some extra time if you're going during busier hours but it is so worth it.The attention to detail is really what makes this place so special. I had a BLTA and the fake bacon was excellent but the quality of the bread, lettuce, avocado and tomato really wowed me. Had some fresh fruit on the side that was equally perfect. Makes you remember how little time we spend eating real, fresh food. Very special meal from some very special people.

I've been to Flora several times and have always loved the food there, from their biscuits and gravy to their pancakes, roasted potatoes, tofu scramble and tempeh bacon (a personal favorite). The staff are also incredibly kind and provide great service.My one complaint, which seems to be the most common, would be the long wait times for food. I know that as of the time of this review, the business is struggling, which I'm sure is impacting throughput. It's unfortunate that this is probably not doing them any favors business-wise. If you care about waiting a while for your food, I would place your order in advance online, otherwise understand that it may take some time and enjoy the experience. Come with friends or something to do. The food really is delicious. I'd love to see them overcome this hurdle in the future if they are able to.

I am blown away in how good the food is. Weather you are vegan or not the chick pea tuna and homemade bread is off the charts. I even ordered the biscuits and gravy(vegan) and can honestly say was as good as anything I’ve had, especially the biscuit!!! Bravo !!! I was in Louisville with my daughter for basketball and as a foodie went to many interesting restaurants. This one was the best for breakfast by far!! I’m sure it’s good for lunch as well but I only did breakfast !!

Great place for relaxing Sunday brunch. Food was tasty, vegan, and various items can be made gluten-free. Friendly people.Food takes some time, so bring something to read and chill.

Mouth watering biscuits and gravy is what made me stop in this adorable local vegan shop and the incredible spread of amazing vegan options makes me wish I lived closer. Every single thing I ordered was phenomenal. Even the art on the walls was great (literally ordered a print while I was sitting there to be delivered to my home in Florida). So thankful Louisville was on my stop so I could enjoy the fabulous offerings of Flora Kitchenette.

Awful experience…. Terrible. Waited about 45 minutes for COFFEE. Hopefully they realize that they need to revamp how they do service. I really do not like how you pay first and just wait until I am a skeleton waiting for my food. Shame shame.Expected better. Update. Food was basic.

This was our first time trying Flora since the ownership change. We had 4 in our party and one wasn't vegan but all of us were satisfied with the food. The gravy and biscuits were phenomenal! The only issue was that it took an hour to get our food however the food was fresh so we weren't overly upset.

I love all of the vegan options! Today the restaurant was empty but it took a very, very long time to get our food. It's not processed fast food so I'm good with that. My spicy quesadilla was okay. I have to take ownership a little on this. I'm not in love with vegan cheese but tried it anyway. I'm a little surprised that the counter attendant recommended it. I can't imagine that people love it. It was all cheese with a little spinach. The avocado crema and salsa that would make it great are used very sparingly. No one checked on us so I could t ask for more salsa. My son loved his buttermilk pancakes! There are a lot of great items on the menu. I'll definitely be back because there are a lot of things that I want to try. I also love the neighborhood and could spend time exploring! The backyard needs attention. The garden is overgrown and the umbrellas are broken. This could be a much more aesthetically pleasing experience.

I was really excited to try this place, we are vegan and from out of town. We ordered from the front desk and got some coffee. We waited over 30 minutes for coffee and over an hour for the food. Don't come here if you value your time. Not an apology or anything. Pretty bad service

Easy going breakfast spot. Even if you're not vegan they have great food. -2 stars for the cold brew however - it used to be Sunergos but now it's some canned stuff and I didn't even get the full can, just how much it filled a cup with ice ?
Wonderful cafe, delicious & healthy vegan food, perfect portions, god value for what you get, hospitable staff. Highly recommend

An entirely vegan cafe. The interior is a rather pleasant brick-walled space. When I stopped in, it was purely a counter ordering operation and they brought out food in disposable containers and offered plastic utensils even for those dining in. I wonder if it's a way of cutting corners in the pandemic era as the pictures here make it clear that they have real dishes. This always particularly bugs me with vegetarian places; is being environmentally friendly not at least vaguely within our purview? Anyway, I went for an omelet, which was an experiment for me as someone who's never eaten an omelet, vegan or otherwise. Noting that other reviews of this place talked a lot about the wait (not that slow food doesn't have its virtues), I was timing things, and it was about twenty-five minutes for me (and likely longer for the subsequent guests as the place was starting to get crowded). What appeared in my takeout counter was a gooey on the inside but crispy on the outside creation with some peppers inside. The flavor was mild, but it grew on me. I think I preferred the Just Egg-ness of it to whatever vegan cheese they used. It came with a side of fruit and some potatoes, but was not a huge meal for the price, all told. I would prefer this place exist than not, and their other dishes looked reasonably appealing, but I left wanting just a bit more, both in terms of the food and the portions, but also in terms of the service and the experience.

We were so lucky to run across Flora Kitchenette on our way through Louisville. The Biscuit Breakfast Sandwich was huge and delicious, and the Buttermilk Pancakes may have been the best we've ever had. The waitstaff were super friendly (happily gave me hot water for my bring-your-own-decaf-tea bag). We can't wait to come back for more next time we're traveling thru!

Flora kitchenette is a vegan based breakfast and brunch place located off Barrett ave. I've stopped in at This small little kitchenette on a couple of occasions. Their service has been Jekyll and Hyde. One trip they were fast and efficient and the other it was dreadfully slow and practically non existent. The food here has been on the whole average. The breakfast biscuit Sandwich has been my favorite meal here thus far. I've also gotten the Omelette plate with fresh fruit. The fruit as really good but I did not like the omelette. It was vey overcooked and had strange hard texture. My wife pancakes were softer and easier to cut through then this Omelette. I did try her pancakes and they would be my second favorite thing I've tried on the menu. Solid flavor. On our most recent visit my wife and I split the biscuits and gravy and we had mixed opinions. She loved them and I hated them. The gravy had a mushroom taste to it that was very off putting for me personally but it is what made my wife like it. So I guess it depends if you like mushrooms. Overall this is a solid and creative little kitchenette. They really need to work on customer service. On our visits they have had one person who works the counter to take orders, payments and serve food. The workers we have encountered seem stressed and overworked by This and give off an unpleasant vibe with negative. Body language. So the place has potential but needs a bit of fine tuning.

My friends and I are in town for a girls weekend. I found Flora's by googling a vegan breakfast place. One of us are gluten and dairy free. We were so excited and sat down at the tables after we ordered. After a while we looked at the people who ordered in front of us who have still not gotten their food. I had taken a picture when we had sat down. I checked the time stamp and we had been waiting 50 minutes.. one of us had to leave and head back home without eating at all. The food better be worth it. Looking at the reviews they all say it's a very long wait as well. If I would have looked, we would have never came here.
