Vegetarian eats served in light-filled spot with courtyard
"If your friends eat meat, take them to Cafe Flora anyway, and maybe just conveniently forget to mention that the menu is 100% vegetarian (with many vegan customizations available). This place is a reminder that naturally meatless things like dairy-free kale artichoke dip, nettle risotto, and Italian black bean burgers with sun-dried tomato jam and basil pesto aioli are tasty no matter what you think about tofu." - aimee rizzo
"Cafe Flora is an obvious move, whether or not there are any vegetarians in the group. It’s not too noisy, and the menu is full of tasty things that happen to be void of meat—like fava bean hummus, ravioli piped with english peas, and smoked mozzarella-topped pizzas. Not only that, but the abundance of greenery and decorative rocks on the all-seasons patio make it look like some kind of ski resort-greenhouse hybrid." - aimee rizzo
"Madison Valley’s floral wallpaper-festooned brunch favorite often gets packed on the weekends, but the shady patio areas and cool dining room are worth the wait for a table. A bubbling fountain sets the mood as remote workers huddle over laptops, pups lay out on the patio, and friends catch up over coffee. But the stellar vegetarian breakfast food and well-crafted drinks like the iced cardamom rose latte are just as tasty if you stay inside." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
"Madison Valley’s floral wallpaper-festooned brunch favorite often gets packed on the weekends, but the covered outdoor patio can be a relaxing spot to hang with your little furball. A bubbling fountain in the center sets the serene mood as remote workers on laptops, friends catching up over coffee, and other folks gather to dig into stellar vegetarian breakfast food or a well-crafted caffeinated drink like the cardamom rose latte. You’ll feel like you’re eating in a greenhouse—and Patches will enjoy a little downtime." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
"Cafe Flora only does afternoon tea in their gorgeous atrium three times a year, but they make it count. This isn’t one of those whispery, pinkies-up tea services—it’s lively, fun, and actually filling. Lovely teas like banana bread chai get served in adorable pots, and everything on the tower is a hit. That includes deceptively simple but spectacular herb butter and radish sandwiches and buoyant lemon ginger scones. And the vegan and gluten-free option has a smoky carrot lox sandwich we’re still thinking about." - kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo
