Initially a little saddened that the black bean kimchi burger wasn’t on the dinner menu, the presentation and flavors of the crispy chickpea panisse dish (listed under the “substantial” menu section) more than made up for it….and “no regerts” with my impulsive decision to order the cranberry almond clafoutis for dessert.
Substantial, indeed. Go get these things.

Comfortable setting, excellent variety of deliciously prepared vegetarian entrees and starters. Generous portions, reasonably priced. Attentive Wait staff.

Cafe Flora was a very positive experience. They blend a chill vibe with fast service. Initially, I was not that excited about a vegetarian-only restaurant but my goodness, everything was super fresh and surprisingly filling. We did the Mediterranean board, the fried green tomatoes (a must), and the heirloom tomato salad. Strongly strongly recommended.

Delicious food!

Not the best food, I know it’s vegan but that doesn’t mean the food has to taste try and plain. Also you guys could at least add French toast to the menu to give too the non vegans.

We waited for 30 minutes. Food was ok. I like the corn and tomatoes one. Strawberry matcha wasn't good. Everything else was ok. Portion is a bit smaller than I expected.

Wonderful vegetarian and vegan cafe that had a wide selection on their menu. Everything came out quickly and was delicious! The staff was incredibly friendly and the atmosphere was very welcoming. The whole cafe had many different plants all over the cafe and there was a heated patio with outdoor seating as well.

At 1:22 pm today I walked in and asked the hostess (who was doing nothing except staring at customers who were waiting for their table) if I could “buy a couple of slices of cake to-go”. She told me that she was too busy to sell any take out orders and that if I wanted to wait 20 minutes she couple probably get me a seat. I told her I didn’t want a seat but instead to being a couple of pieces of cake home to enjoy this afternoon. She told me that they are too busy with brunch (mind you it was 1:22pm) to sell any cake. Poor customer service. I was a loyal customer and have eaten inside and taken items away probably 30 times over the years. I will not be going back.
I strongly recommend Cafe Flora! Their brunch, service, and food pricing are excellent! So far, I have visited May and July of 2025, with multiple folks with me each time. All the staff that has interacted with us have been welcoming, friendly, and attentive throughout each stay. The restaurant is very spacious with lots of seating in multiple rooms and corridors, as well as an outside patio. The atmosphere is very inviting with warm wood, lots of big windows, and high ceilings. We have tried the beignets, Southern Platter, scramble, Frittata, and Biscuits and gravy. All of us have had the potatoes with our entrees each time, and all the food we have tried has tasted excellent, high quality, and not greasy. In my opinion, for the quality and service, the food prices are super reasonable! However, in my opinion, the alcoholic cocktails, are overpriced and cost about the same as, and in some cases more than, the entrees; because the atmosphere doesn't really invite drinking, my suggestion is to stick to the great food and coffee! Overall, I love visiting Cafe Flora for the food and service, and strongly recommend others also try it!

I have always loved the food, vibe, and service at cafe flora and I especially appreciate their rotating menu - it's like going to a new place every few weeks.. I have been here 10+ times, but never written a review (because I am lazy), however the most recent visit is worth mentioning. We were seated in the area to the left of the entrance and after about 10 minutes of being there, one of the HVAC vents fell from the ceiling. Us and the 20-30 odd guests seated in the section, and the staff were all very scared. Fortunately there were only a couple of minor injuries, but notably the staff handled the situation very well. They removed the fallen vent out of the way, all of the guests seated in the impacted section were immediately accommodated in other sections, the meals were comp'd, and any affected guests/ staff were given emergency medical services. The staff also let all the guests waiting outside (and there were quite, as there always are) know that they wouldn't be able to seat any more guests for the day because there had been an accident. First responders were at the scene in minutes, the owner himself was there, and they quickly got into motion to assess what had happened. Even in this situation, our food was served in 10-15 minutes, it tasted just as good as always, and the staff maintained a calm and professional demeanour throughout. This incident has reassured me of the high standards of this place and their commitment to guest safety and delivering a positive experience. I will definitely be back soon.

Really enjoyed my lunch here, there food might skew a touch healthier which sometimes means a little bit a sacrifice on flavor but was delicious regardless

Was pleasantly surprised how good vegetarian food can be! Customer service excellent as was the atmosphere. Drinks seemed a little pricey.
