• Sweet Flower Child of Mine

I must be the odd man out who thinks that Flower Child is just okay. They use soy in their dishes and I didn't see any baked treats that were not gluten-free. The atmosphere and operations, though, are pleasant so I enjoyed my time. What a busy spot! The openness of the restaurant with its loudness reminded me of a cafeteria, but a hip cafeteria indeed. Seating was great. Although a lot of tables were taken, we easily found one with good spacing. No cramping, no leg touching under the table, no one bumping into my chair while passing behind, no "excuse me's" with polite but annoyed smiles. So that was definitely a plus. Another plus are the healthful options on the kids menu. Utensils wrapped in napkins were the table centerpiece, still you can help yourself to more which are located against the wall alongside the teas and colorfully-mixed ades. The plates are small, but I gotta give Flower Child credit for making the dishes look so ungreasy and clean. A+ for presentation. - avocado hummus with pita: pita was too thin and hard hummus mixed with corn, radish, pumpkin seeds salty taste and really couldn't tell it was hummus - bowl of Pho: who orders pho at a non-asian restaurant? I stupidly raise my hand, guilty as charged tasty, but I didn't finish it too many noodles, not enough mushrooms came with sides of basil, jalapenos, bean sprouts, lime, and two sauces barely palatable the red sauce tasted like a spiced up catchup the darker sweet sauce...I honestly have no idea what it was - side of roasted asparagus: literally three spears of the plant cut in half salty seasoning with an umami sauce "roasted" turned out to be "blackened" and overcooked
