Great flavors - Edit
Great flavors here. The coconut tofu lettuce wraps, Italian burger (gf), and seasonal mules get me every time! The restaurant also has a lot of plants which makes for a restful ambiance.

Finger licking good - Edit
The mushroom Wellington is amazing. So are the coconut lettuce wraps. I’d eat here every night of the week if I could. I’d recommend it to vegetarians and there are vegan options. Could not fault the place.

Visitor's view - Edit
While visiting we were told to try this place. I felt like there was a pretty good amount of vegan options available. The food was pretty good but I felt that the service was a little slow for the 2 to 3 time frame we were there in. Definitely worth the time to go.

Hoppin' Spot - Edit
This place can get super busy! When they offer buffet specials, (like on New Years) they can have lines out the door. Great food, great atmosphere otherwise and totally worth the wait. They do have ample room for dinning and offer outdoor seating when the weather warms up. The only thing I wish, was that this spot was 100% vegan.

Loved this place - Edit
In Bothell for training which happened to fall on my birthday. Brought some meat eating co-workers (I’m vegan) here for my birthday and absolutely loved the place. The appetizers, entrees, drinks and desserts were excellent, and that coming from not only me but my meat eating friends. To which one said of the dessert “how can this be vegan?”!

Food, staff, ambience - all is perfect - Edit
The first thing that makes you happy here is the amount of light around. The seating are is glass enclosed which means a lot of light! Yay! There are indoor plants and a nice indoor stone fountain which immediately makes everything wonderful. Next favorite of mine is the tea. Lots of good tea options (may be a little on the pricier side though). I had the biscuits and gravy which was so good and quite a good portion size. I will definitely recommend this place.

Table surrounded by flowers, indoor water pond, mostly vegan menu. The vegan banana creme pie as well as chocolate brownie were delicious. We’ve also been there during breakfast/brunch hours which the best vegan breakfast in the area.

best tofu scramble - Edit
I love this place and I've been coming here for years since before I went vegan. I have yet to find a better tofu scramble anywhere, they season it so well and use a delicious variety of seasonal veggies. The ambiance is also beautiful!! I do wish they had more vegan options (not many of the pancakes/waffles are vegan :/) but it is awesome that it is all vegetarian!

Good Options for Vegetarian and Vegan - Edit
We came here for weekend brunch. They had unique drinks choices--I had the rosemary lemonade mimosa, which was refreshing. The little patio was pleasant, with an herb garden and a large tree. The service was good although our server was pretty slow at checking on us and bringing our check. The vegan biscuits and gravy were good but not the best I've had. My friends loved their brunches.
Read morePros: Plenty of vegan options, Good drinks and food

Vegetarians, order cautiously - Edit
Cafe Flora bills itself as a vegetarian restaurant, but spotlights its use of cheese from Estrella Family Creamery - a creamery that, when questioned, brags that it *only * uses rennet from calves, as they find it "superior" to other meat-based rennets. Vegetable or enzyme rennet isn't even in the equation. It's not that Cafe Flora doesn't know this - inquiries are simply ignored. While many vegetarians eat cheese, I don't know of any that eat cheese with meat in it. I can only assume that Cafe Flora is equally careless about their wine list, and I'm left somewhat dubious about the vegetarian nature or the rest of the food.
Read moreIn terms of the food, it's uneven. Sometimes it's fabulous and sometimes mediocre. I go when I can afford it in hopes of one of the fabulous times. Go early and get a booth - those cafeteria style tables that have you sitting elbow to elbow with your fellow customers are a drag.

greasy! - Edit
Everything we ordered came deep fried, yuck! Maybe just didn't order very well but this meal left me feeling heavy. Also the host was very stressed out and seemed annoyed at customers as he was seating us. The black bean burger was tasty though.

Beautiful Breakfast Spot - Edit
We ate a late breakfast here. The interior and decor are warm and inviting. Lots of plants and sunlight. I ate a very good cinnamon roll, tofu scramble, and potatoes. My wife's garlicky greens were delicious.

Delicious brunch, beautiful atmosphere - Edit
An omnivore Seattle resident friend treated me to brunch here on a recent visit.
Read moreMy friend had the seasonal breakfast platter, which he chose to order with eggs and cheese - though the dish can be made vegan by ordering tofu and potatoes instead. I had the southern platter which is vegan if you order it with tofu instead of eggs. Both of us thought our food was delicious!
We had heard mixed reviews about the service, but our server was both efficient and friendly.
The location is really beautiful too - with plants everywhere on the exterior and interior of the building, lots of natural light, and a small rock garden with waterfall in the center of the main dining area.
I will definitely want to eat at this place again - either at this location or when they open in Seattle Tacoma International Airport which is planned for 2017.
Pros: delicious food, many vegan options, beautiful atmosphere

Pricey but yummy - Edit
Had our first visit to Café Flora yesterday. After some initial confusion (the greeter had disappeared for a few minutes), our brunch experience there was great. Started with a cherry almond hemp nog, which was a bit on the small side but delicious. Our main courses were a carrot & fennel scramble with roasted potatoes (good), raspberry French toast (very good), and blueberry pancakes with lemon curd (awesome). The scramble was also a bit on the small side, but the pancakes were good-sized. The prices are fairly high, as others have mentioned, but not outrageous. Overall we enjoyed the food and service, and I'm sure we'll be back.

Okay choice - Edit
The restaurant is in a nice building with lots of windows, plants, and a fountain. Unfortunately, the food doesn't live up to the setting. We had a seasonal tofu scramble and the forager scramble. Both tasted about the same except that one had more soy and the other had a few tiny slivers of mushroom and squash. Both had an abundance of salt, if you like salty foods. According to the receipt, our server was also a manager. There were only two other tables being served, and she seemed put out to have us there as well.
Read moreIt also bothers me that they charge an extra dollar for tofu instead of eggs. Unless they are getting really cheap eggs, tofu isn't that much more costly to serve.
If you are in Madison Valley and need a place to sit down and eat, this does the trick. The food won't be inspired, but it is filling, and it is vegetarian or vegan, depending on your wishes.
Pros: Nice setting, Vegan options
Cons: Uninteresting food, Uninterested server

Great Decor, Decent food, amazing dessert - Edit
I love the place, it has a lovely feeling to it and the indoor garden area is beautiful.
Read moreFood wise: I had the vegan quinoa cakes and they were really tasty and well prepared. My friend (omni) had the vegan version of the ravioli following my advise, but I have to say they were a little tasteless for my liking. The cashew cream wasnt that espectacular and the filling of the ravioli was a little bit poor. The quino cakes were far superior.
Now, hands down for the dessert. I had the vegan chocolate raw cake and it was amazing. So, so, creamy and delicious - the best part of the meal.
Definitely a nice spot for a date, family or friends meal.

Nice interior. Unusual selections.Strange flavors. - Edit
I've been twice in several years, and each time the food flavors were pretty unusual to me, and I go to a lot of restaurants.
Read moreThe interior is probably nice enough for a date.
A few weeks ago I had:
Grillled Flatbread 2.5/5
Oaxaca Tacos 2.5/5
Plum Pistachio Pizza 2.5/5
Zucchini Fritters (too salty) 2/5
Heirloom Melon & Shiso Salad 2.0-2.5/5 (but the frisee lettuce I gave 1.5)
—shortly before closing.

I Like It - Edit
I've been pretty happy here. The food is good. I think it's a little better than Plum Bistro. The interior is lovely. It's a great date spot. I haven't had the service problems other reviewers have. I agree that they could be more vegan friendly. About half the menu is or can be made vegan. Unfortunately, not the Portobello Wellington.

Great dinner - Edit
We had dinner here two weeks ago .. unfortunately we live way out of the area, so unable to provide a lot of repeat business. Vegan options are available, along with a wider range of vegetarian dishes. The food, service, and layout is top notch. If we had not had lunch at araya's a block away the next day, it would be my top choice in Seattle, but still an excellent choice.
Read morePros: Great food, enjoyable atmosphere
Cons: got to be early or wait
