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.

It is sooo good. I haven’t tried too many other things, because I always get that. They also serve it at Florette, their restaurant at SeaTac.

Delicious vegan brunch - Edit
We came here during brunch and it was very busy, we waited about 30 minutes to get a table. We said first available as they have heat lamps for the outdoor tables. Table was perfect, lots of spacing between tables and they diligently check vaccine cards (saw them turn away a lady wearing a chin diaper who said she “forgot” hers and could they seat her anyway—“no”.).
Read moreIn any case it was well worth the wait, we both got vegan scrambles with tofu, mine was with mixed spicy greens and biscuits and mushroom gravy—my boyfriend’s scramble came with grilled potatoes. Food was really delicious, service was great and attentive. Restaurant is fairly large but beautiful and inviting. I would be here every weekend if I lived in Seattle.
Oh!! And I completely forgot the amazing vegan waffle. Mouth watering as I write this review and I remember how good it was.
One last update from today. It really annoys me to pay a 50 Cent up charge if you want vegan rather than cows milk cheese. But the vegan food is good albeit highly salted and seasoned.

Delicious brunch - Edit
We like to come here on special occasions, like playing hooky from work. I love the cinnamon roll, golden milk latte, and southern platter (tofu, biscuit and gravy, sautéed greens). Mango passionfruit nog was also really refreshing. Nice ambience if you can get a spot near the window. Most (but not all) menu items can be made vegan.

Disappointing - Edit
Had the vegan spinach and artichoke dip to start - it was fine, a fairly small portion and not amazing
Read moreFrench dip - saw so many good reviews of this, and I'm confused? It was a heated sandwich, which made the bread kinda chewy. The dip was just broth. The fries were on the verge of being undercooked
Cocktails - watery and didn't taste of much

Used to be better, quality has changed - Edit
Going to Cafe Flora used to be my favorite part of being in Seattle. I was glad that they had kept their mouthwatering coconut cake as they continued to innovate, but over the years it went from being a soft cake with tons of coconut in it and subtle undertones of intricate flavors, to being a dry cake that is overly sweet and just tastes like frosting. It seems that they've changed recipes, or simply stopped putting in the work that they used to. The restaurant is too expensive for what it is now. Their burger also used to be better, I still love the fries though. They don't have enough vegan options considering what is now doable with vegan food. 20 years ago they were surely the best vegetarian restaurant in Seattle, but they need to catch up now. It was a dollar to add vegan mozzarella to the burger, and it tasted like Daiya. Dairy cheese was cheaper to add, so they tax vegans here. Even if it wasn't Daiya, it sure did taste the same. I was expecting something unique from somewhere that brands themselves as a tad bit "finer" of dining ($$$). Plating is nice. Interior and staff are welcoming.

Great vegan brunch - Edit
We’ve been here a few times and have always enjoyed ourselves. On our latest visit we went for brunch and tried their avocado toast, biscuits and gravy, cinnamon roll, side of seasoned tofu scramble—and tasted a bite of our friend’s carrot pancakes. Everything was good but especially the tofu scramble. Probably the best tofu scramble I’ve ever had. I highly recommend pairing it with the biscuits and mushroom gravy.

They have some good vegan options & make tasty cocktails. I had the Flora Grain Bowl and yam fries and was happy with my meal! They also make a delicious golden milk using alternative milk.
