The Flora Bakehouse Ready to Open in Beacon Hill Saturday, January 23 | Eater Seattle

"Housed in Madison Valley since the early 1990s in a space once occupied by a laundromat, Cafe Flora is a celebrated vegetarian restaurant that has built a following for its focus on sourcing organic and sustainable ingredients; current owner Nat Stratton-Clarke — a former produce buyer and general manager for the cafe — bought the place 12 years ago and has maintained its original spirit while making aesthetic upgrades. Expansion outside Madison Valley has been slow but steady, and the new Beacon Hill bakery marks an exciting expansion of the operation during a challenging time." - Gabe Guarente
