Sara's full firsthand review

Portions have drastically decreased at this restaurant... I ordered the mother earth bowl and only had 2 pieces of sweet potato in the bowl. I remember eating this specific item a few years ago and having more volume in the meal. They used to add more avocado and sweet potato. Today, all I had was a measly 1 sliver of avocado and 2 chunks of sweet potato. How does anyone get full from that? Especially when it's a vegan meal to begin with... What happened flower child? This restaurant was absurdly busy today, I'm assuming they're cutting corners and just not providing great meals as they used to. Everyone else enjoyed their food today; but they all agreed that it was just an 'okay' experience. Flower child should consider opening up more locations. Maybe that could help.. I don't know. All I can say is that meals should be provided with ample substance and not appear lackluster. Overpriced and it's mostly a self-serving restaurant. Fetch your own drinks and cutlery. Totally left feeling hungry.

What we tried

Sara tried the mother earth bowl and only had 2 pieces of sweet potato in the bowl, was a measly 1 sliver of avocado and 2 chunks of sweet potato. The visit exposed several shortcomings in execution, service, or consistency that outweighed the positives.

The space was busy during the visit.

Who might enjoy it?

Vegetarian friendly diners.

Would we go again?

Probably not. The visit had enough drawbacks to make a return unlikely.
