Cute Cafe, Tasty Dishes - Edit
Cafe Flora has got to be one of the most beautiful cafes I've ever been to with its aesthetic and food offerings. My plant based heart was full and ready to try all the different options they offered.
Read moreA group of us came on a weeknight and were seated outside in their patio outdoor (but enclosed) patio. It was the first day of their spring menu and they encouraged us to order items to share for the table; an easy task for an Asian like myself.
We went with a few amazing starters- their spread sampler served with sourdough had some of the best homemade dips ever especially their Spring Pea Hummus, the yam fries with house aioli was fire, and the spinach artichoke dip was some of the best I've had. All vegan and all amazing.
The entrees though were a bit more mixed for me. The Strawberry Watercress Salad was refreshing but didn't excite me as much as I had hoped, the Risotto was a bit on the saltier side and was only half the bowl, and Fried Trumpet Mushroom over Potato Waffle had a great waffle but the mushrooms weren't as kickass as I've had at other vegan restaurants. Plus I felt it was a bit pricer for the amount of food we got in general.
We ended our dinner with their Chocolate Cake with Coconut Based Vanilla Ice Cream, which came in small bite sized brownies that were probably sitting in the fridge for too long lol. It was still good though.
Despite that though, the food really was great and we had a great time especially with the samplers. Thank you to our server Logan who really took care of us all night.

Nice dinner - Edit
Really interesting menu with options I’ve not seen before. The fried eggplant pieces were good and a big portion. The trumpet mushroom and potato waffle was a little too sweet but fun to try. The rabini was a little too bitter and the arancini balls and cesar salad were the best dishes we tried. The rhubarb lemonade was also tasty.

Cons: Flavours weren’t the best

Updated review - surprisingly mid brunch - Edit
This place is a warhorse in the Seattle veg scene. I've had many, many delicious meals here. Their bloody mary is quite literally second to none.
Read moreHowever:
The last time I wrote a review I wished the brunch menu changed more often. Now it has…and I’m kind of shocked I just spent $17 before tax on the tartine, two small pieces of cold bread with a bland spread and a very basic side salad, that left me still hungry. What in the world.

Wow! Good enough to go twice in one visit - Edit
What a great spot! We had the cinnamon roll, biscuits and gravy, and savory waffle the first trip. Cinnamon roll was BIG and delicious and the biscuits and gravy were great. The savory waffle was good (not great, but may just be preference). Came back a second time and had biscuits and gravy, the artichoke dip, and the pea hummus and all were phenomenal! If we visit Seattle again, this will be a MUST on the list to return to. Highly recommend this as a wonderful breakfast/brunch/lunch spot! The service was great and the atmosphere was beautiful.

Awesome brunch spot, get there early! - Edit
This place was highly recommended for brunch when visiting Seattle and it did not disappoint. Nearly half the menu is vegan and many other dishes can be made vegan. Vegan beignets were amazing. The rosemary biscuits are flakey, the gravy came out a little cool but it was busy on a Sunday. The Colorado Ranchero scramble was delish. Cute interior and friendly staff.

Everything is great - Edit
I've eaten here many times over the years and have always enjoyed everything that I've had. Not everything is vegan, but about half the menu is and the other half is vegetarian.

Great brunch - Edit
I’ve been coming to Flora and Floret for years. Floret, located in the airport, use to be my go-to before flights but since covid they’ve reduced the menu and my fav item, biscuits and gravy, is no longer on it. I also enjoy ordering the cinnamon roll with is gigantic.

Cafe Flora used to be one of my favorite go-to places for special occasions. It’s been many years since I’ve been there. I remember everything they made was fresh, local, organic and delicious. Is that still true?

Unsatisfying dinner out - Edit
I won’t go back to Cafe Flora until they have better vegan options. As a long standing veg restaurant I expected them to at least have substitutes. But when i was there for dinner what they meant by “vegan available” was “we can remove the dairy cheese without a replacement and still charge you the full price”. I hope Cafe Flora starts to invest in some vegan cheese soon.
Read moreCons: Lack of vegan cheese , Chilly air temp , Value doesn’t match the price

Get the Cinnamon Roll - Edit
Cafe Flora is a vegetarian institution in Seattle. The cinnamon rolls are the best you might ever eat. So good! Very popular for brunch on the weekends, so be prepared to wait.

Great Food, Weird Vibe - Edit
Food was tasty but the staff were quite unfriendly. Didn’t greet us, didn’t say goodbye, brought the bill without us asking, didn’t say thanks when we paid our bill. Just a negative experience. Wouldn’t eat there again

Charming pleasure! - Edit
Love cafe flora! So charming and delightful! Easy parking and classy, upscale, and unique atmosphere. Wish they could make dishes without oil, so they’re not SOS free and couldn’t accommodate. But other than that, super great food!

I dream about their spinach artichoke dip. The mushroom French dip is also fantastic. With a cute atmosphere and beautifully crafted cocktails, this is one of my favorite restaurants in town.

A beautiful choice - Edit
Cafe Flora is one of my favorite restaurants in Seattle. It is a beautiful setting with huge windows, an indoor fountain, local art and such a relaxing vibe. I love everything here and recommend the drink menu too as well as the decadent gluten free, vegan chocolate brownie. It is a higher end place which I believe is worth it as they use high quality ingredients. They are family friendly as well as a place I have celebrated a birthday with friends.

Pretty good but not for the hype - Edit
I think they should be better at presentation. And should have more low carb varieties.

Bland and overpriced. - Edit
First, I have to say the ambience here is amazing. Windows on all sides, sunroof, a fountain and lots of plants. It feels like eating inside a fancy greenhouse. I've only eaten here 3 times, but the food is always so bland. Today, I got the mushroom risotto that was undercooked, the artichoke dip lacked flavor and depth and the tacos were served with a salsa that was mostly just raw garlic. There is a long wait to be seated as well, just not a great experience

Excellent Vegan and Vegetarian! - Edit
Cafe Flora is a wonderful place for brunch and lunch! It is gorgeous inside!! They serve vegetarian and vegan food and everything is clearly labeled on the menu. There were plenty of vegan options available (including their cinnamon roll!). You can’t go wrong with their tofu scramble and potatoes. I also loved the spinach artichoke dip I ordered this time! Excited to come back!

It’s got it all - Edit
Some off street parking, nice atmosphere and great food. We split the Indian Burger with a side of the coconut curry soup and added side kale Cesar salad. We were expecting pesto on the burger and not sure what we got, but the sauce was slightly tangy and worked well with the black bean patty. The kale Cesar was my favorite. Loved the crispy capers, roasted pistachios and the hearty greens. Soup was ok for us. We would have preferred little more seasoning and creaminess.

Lovely location - Edit
Vegetarian food most can be made vegan. Very friendly people and light and airy setting. Loved the tomato avocado toast and rosemary lemonade and cinnamon roll. Second time here was disappointing: Biscuits and gravy were pretty plain and the tofu on the side way too salty. The Colorado rancho scramble with tofu had cardboard like tasting potatoes and same salty tofu and it was just topped with beans and tortilla chips. It’s not what I call yummy vegan food. Also too pricey.
