Flower Child

This is my go to spot for when I want something healthy and delicious. It’s not the cheapest option, but you get what you pay for.

Very good & healthy! Great atmosphere too! Casual but nice. Children will love the kids plate!

This is a pleasant place for a light healthy meal. It is spacious, airy, with a name that pretty much reflects the 60s vibe you find inside. Ordering is simple: at the counter near the entrance, from a menu that is none too extensive. I tried their sauteed spinach, which had a mild garlic flavor with a hint of citrus. I love the GF mac and cheese — it was really rich and tasty, which I didn’t expect from a gluten-​free dish. The wild mushroom phở was a bit of a letdown for me, maybe because I love the traditional phở served in Vietnamese restaurants and the vegan version in Flower Child had no similarity to traditional phở, save for the fresh herbs and bean sprouts served on the side. Service is friendly, there’s always a place to sit even during peak hours, thanks to the patio area, and parking is never a problem in the Uptown Plaza where this establishment is located.

This place just makes me so happy! I drove by and was intrigued by their sign so I stopped for lunch, and I’m so glad I did. The staff is all so friendly and helpful; there was a young lady at the front asking people if they had been in before and providing help ordering, etc. I went with her recommendation on a wrap, The Rebel, and it was delicious! I got a side of the roasted beet, avocado and tangerines and that was super yummy as well. The portion was large, I only ate half for lunch and had the other half for dinner; which was good because the meal (wrap, side and a drink) was on the pricy side for lunch, about $ 20.
The atmosphere is light and happy, it’s a beautiful space. A good place to hang out and do some work or read a book. Everyone was friendly and seemed happy. I’ve gone back for lunch a second time and brought a friend, we both had the Flying Avocado wrap which was really good and I had to try their gluten free mac and cheese… YUM!
Love this place and will be back again and again!

Awesome. I had the avocado wrap so fresh and flavorful. And you must must have the Mac and cheese.

Though it was a little pricey it was nice to get off campus, eat some healthy food, and enjoy the atmosphere & flower child did just that for me! Very friendly staff and they were super helpful, I will be returning!

Flower child Has great salads… I don’t think this is someplace to go if you are big on meat… huge portions… or. heaven forbid, fried food.
I am not a nutritionist but I know enough to say this is clean food, good recipes and insanely well run restaurant.
The portions can be smallish… the price is not for everyone, $ 28.00 for 2 salads?
I do feel a little bad for the employees… why is there a place for a tip on the receipt? You stand in line to order. The table are like a decent food court. You get your own drinks… who am I tipping? I should tip myself…
On a warm sunny day when you don’t want to get stuck forever getting a fattening lunch Flower Child delivers

Good food, healthy food choices, quick food preparation.
I do not like the cinnamon they put in the Phở broth. It cannot be left out because they put it in the broth. This makes me sad.
I did not like the butternut squash. I expected a hot side item, and it was cold, and there was more of other ingredients in the mix than squash.
I did like the eggplant A LOT. My friend did too and she ate 2 pieces of it. I will get that again, and try another side item next time. And maybe get salmon by itself because it was good.
I think something in the cranberry drinks did not agree with me, or perhaps the spigots/​dispenser/​container are not cleaned regularly and there’s bacteria in there. Anyway, it upset my stomach. Repeatedly. :(

Literally beyond excited that this is 2.3 seconds away from me. No longer have to go to Scottsdale for flower child. Yayyyyyy!
Seriously, I love everything on the menu (vegetarian of course) tofu, please. The salad to the rice and to the wraps. AND THEY HAVE MUSHROOM PHO! It’s a must. *smiley face*
Every time I come, we always sit outside, great atmosphere and love the energy here.
I love the lemonade stands. So many yummy drinks to choose from. So if your indecisive, pick two and mix that baby together. Haha. It’s perfect.
Keep on coming back!!!

It was my first time trying this place last night and I loved it. Everything from the environment to the fresh juices/​food was great. It can get pricey but it’s a great place to eat when you’re looking to eat healthy! I’m looking forward to trying out their breakfast selections next

The food is wonderful and the manager/​owner is very nice. Great ambiance and the bathrooms are accessible, gender neutral, and clean. I love all the fresh flowers, both outside and on the tables.
My new fav restaurant!

The Best Healthy Organic Restaurant in Phoenix, The Best Chicken fresh from the farm, real Tea made with leaves, the desserts are Gluten free and amazing. Breakfast is on weekends, a must to go. Everything is awesome.

Delicious healthy food with friendly service and a cheery atmosphere.
I was so excited that Flower Child opened a second location in Phoenix!
Parking: Near AJs — lots of parking available. This is better than the 44^th St location where parking is a pain!
Service: Fantastic! The staff take one’s order at the front, then deliver it later. They are friendly and cheery.
Food: Amaze! I love so many things here. Recently, I ordered the spicy cauliflower, glazed sweet potatoes, and fruit. The fruit was boring. However, the sweet potatoes are delicious with a sneaky spice, and the cauliflower has a crisp caramelized taste. The teas and lemonades are interesting and fun to mix together. The cupcakes /​desserts taste fairly fresh. I have also ordered the hummus, which was creamy and well made. The recent time, the guy I was with had the phở. I personally would never order phở at FC (only at a true Vietnamese place), but he seemed to like it.
Atmosphere: Fun, light with windows everywhere. There are seats outside, and lots of flowering pots outside.
Cost: The cost is pretty high, but the quality is great.
I went at 11:30 AM on a Saturday, but at around 1pm, we noted the line was out the door.

Great lunch spot! I had the flying avocado wrap and the pear pomegranate lemonade, I loved them both! The tea was very refreshing. The service was great and I liked how open the restaurant was and that they offered patio seating. One downside was the side of Mac & Cheese which was disappointing. It wasn’t very flavorful and portion size was a lot smaller than expected. I will definitely return for the wrap and lemonade!

EXCELLENT service… MEH food. Flower Power is in a perfect location to thrive, right at Camelback and Central in the middle of the action. the crowd here is biz professional and really good-​looking soccer moms.
i’ve been here a few times and am impressed with the crowd management. this place, tho new, gets BIZ-​ZAY, esp around lunch. the staff behind the counter, the food runners and managers are on-​hand and do a really enviable job of running a busy location smoothly.
where Flower Power needs improvement is the food.
— — a side of summer squash was only 25% squash
— — a side of mac & cheese was cold and tiny, not warm and at least a healthy portion
— — the flying avocado is OVER-​seasoned with salt & pepper and Italian dressing
— — the Thai wrap is OVER-​sauced with the yum yet over-​sugared dressing
the iced tea selection is respectable.
this may just be a Fox RC thing, or maybe just a young line cooks thing… but when you sell yourself as a «healthy» restaurant, and you sugar, salt and sauce your food to death, you are not healthy. you just have healthy marketing messaging.
Flower Power is a nice lunch option with a good location and pleasant service, but when i spend $ 15 or more/​per person on lunch, i want to walk away feeling good about the quality of food i consumed… not guilty about how many calories i just ate because of the heavy hand of the line cooks. a little more modestly in your cooking would do you well, young cooks.
i think the health-​conscious among us would be very happy with a healthier menu relying on fresh ingredients unhindered by salt/​pepper slam dunks and sauce bazookas.
a good start Flower Power, but a ways to go…

All of me loves all of Flower Child!
Last night, I really wanted to eat somewhere healthy and that my mom would love (she is pretty picky) so I hoped that Flower Child was the answer and it was!
We came last night and the restaurant is pretty open, big and similar to the Sauce concept — you wait in line to order at the counter, get a number while you get your drinks, sit and they bring your order to you.
We ordered the Avocado Hummus, the Rebel Wrap, and the Forbidden Rice bowl with shaved chicken = less than $ 40. We received the hummus first which included pita bread. I wasn’t a big fan of it because the pita bread was thin and flimsy and the hummus was alright. I don’t think it was worth $ 7. However, the forbidden rice and rebel wrap were delicious! I think that the portions weren’t bad — two entrees and one appetizer filled three people.
I noticed their iced teas and lemonades after we ordered and was considering going back in line to just get a drink. However, after eating our food, I just knew I would be a regular here so I decided to hold off and get an iced tea the next time I dine in. My mom and hubby loved the food too.
The next morning, we placed a to-​go breakfast order for the Late Riser and the Green Garden bowls = a little over $ 20. It was so filling and appetizing! My favorite was the Green Garden — scrambled eggs, spinach, roasted brussels sprouts, broccoli, charred onion, tuscan kale pesto,
greek yogurt, prairie breeze cheddar! I was quite impressed that all those greens can be included in a bowl and be so good!

Good food, as expected. Service was «bah, humbug!» and left a lot to be desired. Not the friendly greeting or treatment received a year ago from the 44^th st location. No holiday décor, no festive atmo during the week between christmas and new year. I regret leaving a tip on our take out order.
Location was nearly empty on ¹²⁄₂₇. We stepped in to get a quick «take away» order only to wait nearly 20 minutes and see others who ordered 5 minutes after us, walk away with their food before ours was ready. This didn’t make sense since there was almost no one there. No help finding water cups and no lids offered knowing we were driving. Not a stellar experience for 2 ready-​made sides, 4 oz of grilled tofu and a simple tofu wrap.

This is a great lunch spot! Such great salads, protein bowls and wraps. I went with a group of 6 people on two separate occasions.
In terms of salads, the grains and greens salad was the favorite.
I got the flying avocado wrap on one occasion and it was really great too. The wraps are freshly made and the avocado spread is great.
They have a side dish of corn and it is really tasty, resembling the flavors of corn soufflé.
The teas and lemonades are also all great! I tried a bunch of flavors and even mixed. The mango iced tea is my favorite. Next time, I want to try the avacado hummus!

I am very excited to welcome Flower Child to central Phoenix. I love that the menu has something for everyone especially vegetarian and vegans.
I ordered the minestrone with kale & quinoa. Excellent! I also ordered the masala curry bowl with tofu. Excellent! I don’t usually like raisins mixed in with my food but the sweetness complimented the dish very well.
My husband ordered the chicken coconut soup. I don’t eat meat so I didn’t taste it, but he liked it. He ordered a Thai, quinoa bowl with steak. Fortunately the steak didn’t touch everything so I was able to taste it. Yum!!! I’ll get that dish next time.
2 soups, 2 entrees with protein added and 1 lemonade=$ 46.
The staff was attentive and friendly. The customer base was a nice mix. This place reminded me of True Food minus all the «pretty people.» There are a lot of items I want to try so I will be back.

Very exciting that this location is now opened, as of today! I absolutely love Flower Child and I love the vegan options on the menu. They have a seasonal menu and support local businesses, which is great! This is a place where everyone can eat, whether you are seeking gluten-​free, vegetarian, vegan, or none of the above. This location is great and parking is much more convenient than the 40^th Street location! YEAH!
