I ordered the chicken with 2 side and it was underwhelming. The mac and cheese was good, but the chicken was not well seasoned. I ordered with with a side of apples and clementines and it was was literally a quarter of a small apple with a couple of clementine slices. I payed $15 dollars for what felt like a subpar dish. I was not happy with the quality and quantity, feeling hungry and sad afterwards.
Up until a couple of days ago, Flower Child was my go-to for a quick, healthy meal that's tasty and reasonably priced. A couple of days ago, I picked up a lunch bowl and found a peace of metal wire in it. It was about 1 inch long and very sharp. I am lucky that I did not swallow it or break any teeth. I called the restaurant (the location in Bethesda) to tell them about it- they reimbursed me for my meal and sent me a whopping 15$ gift card towards my next order. I think I may get a few bottles of kombucha for the $15 as I will be reluctant to get any fresh food from them again.
What can I add that hasn’t been said? I went with a friend Saturday night March 12 to order takeout. The food was delicious. I ordered the roasted butternut squash salad with salmon. Every bite was tasty and exciting, containing unexpected and very pleasant flavors — some that I could place, some that I couldn’t. My friend had the Glow Bowl and the vegan coconut soup and said both were phenomenal. I also ordered the broccoli side and had it for breakfast. Just delicious even cold.But I also want to add that the woman who took our order at the counter was just so lovely and delightful. Interacting with her was a true pleasure. Sadly, I didn’t get her name or I would shout it out. She’s just a sparkling star, calm and understated yet effervescent. Made the whole experience feel warm and a bit magical.
It’s phenomenally healthy and tasty. Insanely good! Go for the Mother Earth Bowl. Must also try the vegan pudding- it’s like ambrosia. Staff is super friendly. All around good vibes.
We have previously been happy with this restaurant. The staff there are wonderful. Unfortunately, we recently had to return some meals that contained raw meat. The manager was completely nonplussed by this. We know these are difficult times, and maybe the manager was having a bad day, but we were compelled to drive another 30 minutes back to return uncooked food. No apology, no thank you for bringing it to our attention, nothing! We almost felt as though we were putting him out. We will never return.
The food here is good and most items on the menu are healthy or healthier for you. The establishment is nice, clean and big enough if you're worried about being 6' apart. It's located in a shopping area so there is ample parking.
I went to the Flower Child Bethesda, MD location on 1.22.22 around 7PM. Prior to my horrible experience, I loved the ambiance and the healthy, fresh delicious food. I noticed since Ally left, the location has gone downhill. The front staff are rude, arrogant and unwelcoming. The food tastes off as well. The number one reason I will no longer patron this establishment was my recent visit. I arrived to an unfazed staff member taking my order. I sat down to wait for my food with my daughter and noticed the manger along with the line cook and another female colleague had their face masks pulled down laughing, talking and eating where they were preparing the food. I was in total shock and disbelief that the manger was partaking in all of this. On top of all of this, the line cook kept touching his mask while handling food. This is definitely a code violation, unsanitary and putting peoples lives at risk whether it’s food poisoning and COVID-19. We are still in a pandemic where people are sick and dying. To add insult to injury, when I asked I wanted a refund due to unsanitary conditions I firsthand experienced, the manger had a sad excuse. He said himself he knew what he did was wrong but stated it’s hard having the masks full time. I understand wearing mask full time can be a hassle. However, you can go to another location or outside away from people and food and take a break to move down your mask for a breather. YOU DO NOT take off your mask, eat, obnoxiously talk and laugh where you prepare patrons food. I am not ok with added fillers such as your saliva and germs. You also remove gloves when they are soiled IE touching your mask. This is common sense. I’m horrified of what I saw took place. So disappointed and will never dine with them again. For a health food institution, you should be ashamed. For others, if you care about your health and the wellbeing of our community demand they take better caution or go elsewhere.
Bland overpriced food. Way too overpriced. Also, don’t pay attention to customised requests. Ordered avocado dressing, got a vinaigrette instead. Will never order again. Waste of money.
The food was very tasty and a lot for the price. The ambiance very nice
The food is constantly good and I'm in love with the vegan toasted coconut chocolate is to die for.......
