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.

If Urban Outfitters were a restaurant, this would be it. Food was healthy, tasty, and fair price. I loved the kombucha on tap. It was a little too hipster for my boyfriend, but the food won him over.

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. The steak, chicken, salmon is extra to add to your Items

First time here and I like it a lot. I ordered the Madras Curry with chicken and it’s great! Not as stewy as I’ve had in the past, and everything seems very fresh. The vibe is more for lunch than dinner, in my opinion, but it’s a sweet spot nonetheless.

Tasty little hot spot in Arcadia. This location is much better than the one in Scottsdale because it’s less crowded with friendlier employees and faster service. The Rebel Wrap is my go-​to favorite. Takeout service is usually quick and easy. The place is always kept nice and clean, and all the seating options are comfy. Hopefully sometime in the near future, they’ll post some nutritional info so I can watch my calories more efficiently.

Flower Child? What has happened to me? I used to be such an In n Out, Carolina’s kinda guy. Has the desert softened me? When I entered and looked around I was surprised it wasn’t full of California Soccer Mom’s who love participation trophies. Oh, I’m so going to hear it for that, damn I need a filter.
Flower Child has an open and bright restaurant that is great for business meetings, quick friend lunches or planning neighborhood quail crossings (do flower children do that?). I ordered take out since I didn’t want to commit to a sit down without seeing my surroundings.
I ordered the Thai Cashew Bowl with some chicken. Quinoa (spelling, grain?) with jalapeño, snap peas, celery, mushroom, cashews and Thai basil! Holy shit these saguaro hugging hippies (ouch) can make me forget about methane producing cow burgers! The quinoa was the perfect texture with crisp snap peas and spicy jalapenos. Great flavor with the tender chicken. I would highly recommend adding a meat or tofu for a little heartier meal. I would have given this place 5 stars, but for the price I would have expected more meat and a little bigger portion. I just came back from a run and was absolutely starving. What’s not to love about eating healthy and the good news is I didn’t smell any patchouli oil!

Great location and amazing food. Flower Child has quickly become one of my favorite lunch time spots. First time at the camelback location, but I also enjoy the uptown location. Get The Rebel. It’s AMAZING.

The place has a very astroturf-​y, rich-​hippy, limousine-​liberal vibe that’s all the rage from Scottsdale to Orange County to the Upper West Side. That’s not the worst thing in the world, but it is a bit eyeroll-​inducing. The main issue with this place, though, isn’t the lily-​white, one-​with-​the-​earth-​but-​never-​get-​my-​lulus-​dusty atmosphere, it’s the price point. Even for the area, the price-​to-​portion-​size ratio is way off. Both times I’ve eaten here the food was delicious, but I’ve spent much more money than I’d expect to and still left the place hungry. If they drop the prices, I’ll be back. Namaste!

We stopped in because we love all Fox Restaurant Concepts. In my very personal opinion, I feel this place is highly over priced with tiny portions. I paid $ 40 for a salad, one of their signature bowls, and two lemonades. We both were given a very small serving of chicken. For that price, I would at least hope to get an entire chicken breast. I would prefer to go to any of the other Fox Concept Restaurants as I have never left those establishments feeling still hungry and poor.
On a positive note, I enjoyed the vibe of the place. The quinoa bowl I did get was tasty, but definitely needed Sriracha. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Had the forbidden rice with shaved steak, Mediterranean salad and side of Brussel sprouts. The Brussel sprouts were unreal! I could’ve eaten 3 plates by myself!!! The salad was yum and the rice dish was full of flavor! We will definitely be back!!!

I’ve been here a couple times now, and I’ve liked everything I tried.
Both times I got the two sides and a protein meal. I can’t remember one of the sides from the first visit, but the other was the quinoa w/​corn, which I LOVED. One of my friends who I came here w/​the last time ordered this and I *pretended* like I never had it before just so I could have a bite ;) The protein I had was the chicken, which was kind of plain (I guess that’s the point here though), but it was tender and well-​seasoned.
The second time I came I got the brussel sprouts, sweet potato, and tofu. The tofu is grilled, which is how I like it. the two sides were flavorful. The sweet pots were particularly good. They were cooked all the way through, but weren’t mushy. My group also ordered the avocado hummus, which was DELICIOUS. It was creamy & the pita was really good.
Both times I came here I remember not thinking they give you a lot of food for what you pay for. However, I was full but not disgustingly bloated each time so I do think they give you more food than what it looks like on your plate.
The first time I came here this place was out the door packed (you order at the counter and the food is brought to your table), but the last time it wasn’t too bad. The food comes fairly quickly & the servers are friendly.

This is a great place for a healthy meal. I usually get the Mother Earth bowl with either chicken or salmon. The Mother Earth comes with ancient grains, sweet potato, avocado and a few other ingredients. It really is delicious and the serving is large so recently I’ve been taking some of it home for another meal.
I also really like their juices and teas. I usually mix a green tea with the lemonade.
The cashier and servers are always super nice.

In my most humble opinion, I dig Flower Child. I was just there and had the Flying Avocado Wrap and a large Peach Lemonade. Reasons why I dig…
· The atmosphere is inviting
· The staff are pleasant
· The drink options are FANTASTIC
· Their 44^th and Camelback locale is in a great spot for shopping too
· And the last and most important (to me) reason why I can without a shadow of a doubt say I heart Flower Child — they donated to my cause
I realize for most this may sound dumb, but it can be extremely daunting and hard to get donations from bigger business restaurants like these and FC made it incredibly pleasant and easy. Because of their generosity they now have great advertising giving their brand a soft side.
Thank you Flower Child — my heart and belly are very pleased.

Really a phenomenal restaurant! Flower Child focuses on bringing the healthy foods to you in an extremely delicious and manageable fashion.
The atmosphere and service are great. It’s fun, loud and full of energy.
I had the flying avocado wrap. It was very fresh; the wrap was a little toasted to give it some crunch and the sauce matched it all perfectly.
Definitely a great hipstery and fun joint!

Meh. This place was OK — but I’ve definitely experienced better. It’s a bit pretentious and overpriced for what you get.
The overall vibe is modern-​hipster with a touch of hippie. The décor is modern-​chic with a touch of hippie. The music is loud-​ish.
Orders are placed at the counter and food is brought out to the table. The staff was friendly, so no complaints there!
We ordered 3 starters plus 2 meals. We left hungry. But in all fairness, we went hungry and we went for dinner. This is more of a lite-​bite type of place: Lunch or a lite dinner.
Starters: Sautéed spinach, Indian cauliflower, and watermelon/​tomato salad. All tasty. Nothing special. Small portions.
Meals: Chopped salad with salmon and Mediterranean salad with salmon. Both were decent. The salmon was cooked well. The veggies on the chopped salad weren’t the freshest… In fact, they were mostly brown. Ew.
Overall, I don’t think this place is worth it… unless you want to stare at all the beautiful blondes behind the counter. Seriously — being platinum blonde must be a requirement to work there haha. Why no hot men?
Two stars because I’d rather go to Whole Foods and buy cheaper fresher food from the salad bar. I left this place feeling very underwhelmed and saying, «Meh. I’ve experienced better.»

Perfect location, great concept, comfortable ambiance and great food. I love some of the creative menu selections that help inspire my home cooking. That said, $ 36 for a casual lunch for two seems a bit steep.

Kombucha on tap? It’s the new thing??? Ok, i’ll bite.
Flower child satisfies my inner granola girl. Their slogan goes something like: healthy food for a happy world serving local produce.
Not super hungry, I chose to order some sides and share. Here’s what I got AND recommend:
####Heirloom tomato and watermelon with thai basil, sea salt, and olive oil. Delicious. Loved that this was dairy free and delicious.
####Roasted Asparagus with toasted umami. I would eat asparagus everyday if it was like this.
#####Beets, avocado, and citrus–
Additionally, I sampled one of the best vegan cheesecakes EVER and a chocolate chip cookie. Delish. If you are looking to sample Kombucha for the first time, I suggest trying it here. Their GT’s trilogy kombucha was gooood.
Flower Child, please come to Norcal. We need a dope, healthy place like this in the BAY.

Been meaning to try this because a) Fox Restaurant Concepts and b) every time I go by one, the line is out the door!
So, finally made the time to go for lunch today. The reason the line is out the door is because you order at the counter just inside the door. While we waited, someone found a table for us and put our number on it, so as soon as we ordered, we sat down.
The menu is intimidating for someone who isn’t a huge organic/​sustainable/​locavore/​glutenfree/​healthfood person, but I ordered a wrap — The Rebel — this is a grass fed steak wrap, and I will say it was the best wrap I have ever tried. Wow! One of my lunch mates got the Madras Curry bowl with Chicken, and the other got the Chopped Vegetable Salad with ‘Sustainable’ salmon. They both said their food was terrific, and we sent back plates that weren’t quite licked clean, but only because it would’ve been a breach of decorum to do so.
Interesting crowd — it looked to be about 80% young females in the 15 – 35 age range — based on this observation, if I ever want to target that crowd for a business, I’m going to make sure to feature ‘organic’ and ‘sustainable’ and ‘free range’ and etc. on my advertising!
The only real knock is that it’s pretty pricey for lunch (about $ 18/​ea with fountain drinks), so too expensive to be on the regular rotation, but a great place for a ‘treat’ lunch.

Love love love this place. The food is so hearty and delicious, and for how kitchy the restaurant is, you would expect it to be more expensive. It’s a bit more expensive than fast food, don’t get me wrong, but the quality is so good, you really are getting a great deal.
I need to put a quick qualifier on this and say that this stops being true pretty quickly if you are committed to meat with every meal. Adding «protein» is a pricy proposition here, but it’s also 100% not necessary. You’ll be full with chicken or without, so I would say skip it. This place does vegetarian fare really well, so enjoy it!
The restaurant layout is perfect for a casual lunch with friends, and a wide variety of tea and lemonades to have as a beverage. I really do love this place.

Love, love love! Came here for lunch on Sunday, and it was so nice. The weather was perfect, and the windows were open. It had a very light, inviting, and open atmosphere.
I ordered the sweet potatoes and with a side of tofu. It was excellent. Best sweet potatoes I’ve ever had. The tofu was seasoned perfectly and grilled. I can’t wait to come back here!
Service was excellent! I really enjoyed myself here, and I am looking forward to becoming a regular!
