Cafe Flora

​Cafe Flora offers a beautiful and highly aesthetic dining experience right on the street. The interior is charming, feeling like stepping into a lush, bright conservatory, thanks to the huge glass windows that offer a great view of the street. The decor is anchored by a lovely floral wallpaper and a border of vibrant plants lining the window edges. Even the small indoor fountain adds a touch of peaceful charm. ​We visited at 11 AM on a Sunday and, contrary to other reports, were immediately ushered to a table—a pleasant surprise! The food was delicious across the board and everything tasted incredibly fresh. ​The Pumpkin Pancakes were the absolute highlight! They were wonderfully flavorful and hearty, truly embodying the fall spirit, and were filling without being too heavy. The Eggs with Goat Cheese were also a delicious and fresh choice; the quality of the ingredients wad great. ​The drink experience was split: the Smoky Maple Latte was excellent—perfectly balanced and warming. However, the Dark Chocolate Matcha Latte was a miss. The blended flavors didn't quite work together, and I couldn't really appreciate the matcha or the chocolate distinctly.

‘Twas the night of Thanksgiving 2025 and things were pretty off at Cafe Flora. We had a reservation, showed up right on time, but were made to wait about 20 minutes until our table was ready. When we were seated, cocktails came around and they were tasty. We ordered off the prix fixe Thanksgiving menu and our soups and salads came fairly quickly, but then things just fell apart. It took 45 minutes to receive our entrées. The kids’ Shepherd Pies were piping hot, but the adults’ fare was assuredly not - luke-warm mains and cold sides. The manager came around and offered to re-fire the adults’ meals, and 10 minutes later we began again, but the meals were only moderately warmer - my vegetables and my friend’s pumpkin were well undercooked. Dessert redeemed the experience somewhat - although the vegan pumpkin pie could have used a little more spice in its life, the conventional pies tasted really good. I will say the manager deducted 25% off the bill for our experience, which was the right thing to do. But they were just too busy or unprepared for a holiday night. Even the most revered restaurants have an off night. But an underwhelming meal with a big bill at the end left us disappointed in the experience. We’ll be back again - but for brunch!

Visited this location in October 2025 on a weekday. This place has a cool menu! Some really nice vegetarian friendly dishes on a random weekday. The hot chocolate was tasty and not too sweet. The pumpkin cinnamon roll was large but easily shared with others. The entree was solid. Garlic greens were a surprise for me but quite the hit. Service and atmosphere was top notch and no concerns. Would absolutely visit again when in the Seattle area.
