Flower Child

🌱 5 Stars for Flower Child! As a plant-based family, we LOVE that Flower Child offers so many fresh, healthy options we can actually enjoy together. Our 4-year-old is obsessed with the sweet potatoes and cauliflower—major win! 🙌 Bonus: the atmosphere is absolutely magical. Cozy, vibrant, and full of good vibes. We’ll definitely be back! 💚

I finally visited Flower Child in Westlake after always seeing the one at The Domain—and wow, it did not disappoint! I had the tomato soup of the day, the red berry sangria, their limited-time Peruvian beef special, and the double chocolate brownie… everything was absolutely delicious and fresh. I loved the flavors, the seasoning, and how kind the staff was. The place is clean, bright, and super cute. I’m already planning my next visit! 🙌🏻

Food was very good. I was a little afraid that portion might be too small but it was perfect for lunch. Felt very satisfied afterwards. Create my own steak plate with the Kung Pao Cauliflower.... My new obsession and the Sweet Corn Quinoa. The steak was cooked perfectly and my two sides really complimented the overall dish. My friend and I treated ourselves to a mid week lunch treat with the seasonal Sangrias. Lol... my friend said the Black Cherry Sangria tasted like a hug and her White Sangria was like a refresher. The patio here is great.... Perfect for those perfect Austin Spring Days. We will definitely be back. It's on our monthly lunch rotation.

Awesome place! Delicious food, very friendly personnel. And the best manager who solves any issue the best way. Thank you for this 🤍

The employees are very helpful and friendly. It has very good food and is so fresh. I had the Turkey Cobb salad. The portion was large.

We took all veggie and tofu and everything was so good.. kids menu was really bland - we took Mac n cheese, tofu, and fresh fruit. Black bean falafel was amazing. Mother Earth bowl had good flavors. Good variety of sauces to pour over. Great indoor and outdoor ambience 👌🏻 good service. Lady at the reception was so warm.

Over the past three Saturdays, I’ve had the pleasure of dining at Flower Child in Austin, and each visit has been a delightful experience. The restaurant’s warm, bright, and inviting ambiance instantly makes you feel at ease.  Their menu caters to various dietary preferences, including vegetarian, vegan, paleo, and gluten-free options.  On my visits, I had the Flying Avocado Turkey wrap and The Mediterranean Chicken Kabob Bowl was another highlight, offering a harmonious blend of summer squash, portobello mushroom, bell pepper, harissa, quinoa rice, yogurt sauce, and Greek salad. Additionally, the seasonal Braised Beef Pot Roast was a comforting and flavorful choice.  As sides, I enjoyed the gluten-free White Cheddar Mac and Cheese, which was creamy and satisfying, and the Cauliflower Risotto, a delightful and healthy alternative to traditional risotto.  Each dish was freshly prepared, and the friendly staff added to the pleasant dining experience.  Flower Child’s commitment to quality ingredients and diverse menu options makes it an excellent choice for a nutritious post-workout meal or a casual dining experience. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking delicious and health-conscious dining options in Austin. 

I’m happy to welcome Flower Child into the Westlake community. I talk like this was recent, but really it just took me forever to try it. The food is delicious, the space is bright and airy, and they have a huge patio with lots of seating and tree cover. If anything is worthy of replacing Jason’s Deli (RIP), it would have to be Flower Child. Their veggie sides are so delicious and well seasoned - spicy sweet potatoes, Mac and cheese, shishito peppers, mashed potatoes and broccoli are some of my favs. And their Mother Earth bowl is equally delicious. Their lemonade is nice and sweet, but not too sweet. And finally, the price is not outrageous.

My family and I decided to order and pick up Flower Child for dinner. My husband placed the order online and picked it up at the time it listed for pickup. I ordered the Mediterranean Chicken Kabob Bowl with a side of the Sweet Corn and Quinoa. My husband ordered the Chicken Enchiladas with a side of Sweet Potato Fries. We decided to share the Avacado Hummus. I tried everything and all of the food was fresh and so yummy. I started by tasting the the Sweet Corn and Quinoa. I really liked it. The corn was sweet but not overly sweet and the quinoa added texture. I tried the Sweet Potato Fries next with a little bit of the Buttermilk Yogurt Ranch. The fries were good. They had that sweet potato flavor and were warm and soft but not mushy. I dipped mine in the Buttermilk Yogurt Ranch and it was very tasty. Next I tried the Avacado Hummus with the Pita. The Pita was thin but a good size for dipping in the hummus. The Avacado Hummus was good. It had a soft texture and had added flavor from the little bit of corn that was mixed in. I decided to mix my sweet corn and quinoa with the hummus for added flavor. I tried my husband's chicken enchiladas and they were delicious. The chicken came with some sort of chile, cheese, a poblano crema, black beans, roasted corn, and avocado. All of the ingredients provided a lot of flavor. The Mediterranean Chicken Kabob Bowl was delicious. It came with squash, mushroom, bell pepper, harissa, yogurt sauce, and quinoa rice. I loved all of the fresh ingredients and flavors mixed together. Overall the online ordering process was easy and the pickup was quick. The food was fresh, full of flavor and it was delicious. We will return in the future.

Flower Child is the perfect place for those who are health conscious and perfect for pet parents. I ordered the Turkey & Avocado Cobb Salad and switched the dressing to a dairy-free option. It was delicious! Sadly, there aren't any locations near me and my only regret now is introducing myself to something so delicious and healthy, but inaccessible.

I went to Flower child for lunch. I really enjoyed the decor and clean cafe atmosphere. The food is very clean and healthy. I had their salmon entree with butternut squash and Brussels. So mouthwatering delicious. I definitely recommend!

I am a total Flower Child. No, wait. Let me try that again. I am a total fan of Flower Child. There. That's better. So until last week I didn't know this location existed. I was looking for a place to have lunch with a friend and I thought they'd be coming from their house in Central Austin. Instead they were coming from their place of business in West Austin. I was looking for a new places to try that were reasonably priced. I did not know this location existed because I've only gone to their Domain location previously. This is a much more open and airy location than the Domain. There is inside and patio seating available on the deck. It can be quite pleasant when the weather cooperates. The day I went it was a bit chilly so inside would have been a better choice temperature wise (and for another reason I'm about to explain). It's best to arrive early for lunch. When I first arrived about 12:30, there were still inside tables available but 10 minutes later the place was packed with a second wave of lunchers. I usually have the Ginger Miso Crunch salad but I decided to explore today and went with the Mushroom Bolognese. As usual Flower Child never disappoints. Topped with almond ricotta, the combination of squash zoodles and marinara was quite filling and delicious all at the same time. (Okay to be quite honest I would have liked a little more generous portion, but this was enough for lunch) That having been said, I take one quibble and it's a situational one with the outside seating. Even in early January, the bees are active. I almost made the mistake of swatting at one myself, mistaking it for a housefly that have been on the table a bit earlier. Unfortunately my co-diner made that actual mistake and got stung. This happened despite moving the cute bud vase of wildflowers to the opposite end of the table. Of course you can't cover all perils in an outdoor environment. It would be nice if the bud vases were filled with something less attractive to honey bees, because getting stung is a real bummer to an otherwise fun lunch. I ran in and got some ice in it to go container and luckily my friend didn't experience a reaction. That quibble aside, this is the place to go for lunch in the Walsh Tarleton and Bee Cave Road area. For the best experience, arrive early, and dine indoors. Highly recommended.

Love this flower child location with all the positive quotes, colorful walls and spacious indoor/patio seating. It's a beautiful place to hangout, not too loud so you can easily have a conversation and of course the menu's great with all the healthy food options, including vegetarian meals. I had the Mother Earth bowl - a perfect combination of grains and greens. It was delicious and filling.

Love flower child but this place really excelled for me! The interior is cute and springy, similar to the other locations. Service was quick and staff was friendly. Let me tell you - this food never fails!! The forbidden rice bowl is my go to. So delicious. Wish I could make that sauce they use at home! The lemon cake and gluten free Mac is amazing as well. They have tons of options across the board for all dietary restrictions. A+

Holy moly! Did I just spend $20 for a salad to go? Yes I did, but it was amazing and I would do it again. I got the Brussels and kale salad and add chicken. The chicken was so flavorful, not just a standard brown breast. I also added a pita and it was great for being gf and so much to the portion. I ended up being stuffed of veggies and salad goodness and can't wait to come try more things. Adding this to my rotation immediately and my wallet is scared but my heart says yes!

This was my first time stopping in for lunch. I have gotten to go orders only. It was jam packed so be prepared. Everyone was friendly and helpful. As we ordered, they asked us how many in our party. They got a table set up for us and put our order number on the table for us. You order at the counter and they bring you the food and even come to bus your table when you're finished. :) We got seated by the window. One side had bench seating and the other side had a chair. We were smack dab in the middle. I had to get sugar packets to even the table, which was super unstable. The table had iron legs which was tricky to pick up and get the packets under it. :( My biggest pet peeve was how close the tables were together. I get it. Lunch is slammed and you need to fit people in "but" (wait for it)...my friend had two people's behinds in her face as they were leaving. She was sitting on the bench side. They did their best to try and slide out but it was nearly impossible. After the lunch rush, they did move two tables together to make a four top and started sliding all of the tables apart from each other which is how they should be in the first place. If you go for lunch and they try to sit you there, I would ask for another table...but that's just me. I know I will in the future. When the weather is a little cooler, the deck will be a perfect place to dine. (See photos) I loved my lunch. It was a bit on the pricey side as far as lunch goes so be prepared. I got the forbidden rice bowl and I added tofu. My friend ordered a salad with steak. Her steak was cooked to her liking, medium rare, but some pieces were so chewy she needed to spit them in her napkin. They do a fair amount of pickup orders during the lunch rush as well. They have a good system set up towards the drink area to grab your order. Overall, I had a nice lunch despite the few hiccups. Be prepared for a wildly crazy lunch time rush and don't sit by the window if you can help it. Get ready for patio seating because it will be nice out there! See ya on the patio in November! #iykyk #texasheat

This was my first visit to Flower Child. Even though this type venue is not my jam, I had to come taste what all the buzz was about. Flower Child did not disappoint. I loved the varied menu and the staff were very welcoming and pleasant. They truly set the tone for a great meal. I had the Kale and Brussels salad with steak added as protein. The salad was very tasted, though the steak was a little tough. Definitely coming back.

This lunch spot was perfect for the after church meal. My Turkey & Avocado Cobb salad was a good sized portion with the delicious pickled onions. The crunchy corn was a pleasant surprise as well. The food & decor of the restaurant are bright & colorful for a relaxing eating experience. So, yes if my wife ask to go here. I'm in for the meal. The service is quick & efficient with a friendly staff.

This restaurant was amazing with great food and very friendly staff. Had a lot of great healthy options to choose from and I would definitely recommend.

I decided to visit this place because I have never eaten here before but I heard it's a franchise. First thing is I went to the very front and you have to order and they will bring the food out to you, pretty much like the restaurant that used to be before them was 'Jason's deli. I have to explain why I felt they should not have gotten more than 3 stars. First of all it was overly seasoned. Too much salt , would say the roast beef was very good. But let me add the fact that when a dish is got that much seasonings people can get stomach aches it's polittle spicy as well. But overall very tasty. The portions were small to be expected for a roast beef with mashed potatoes and one's tiny slice of sweet potato. Also mushrooms were added to the beef roast ...some vegetables, I wouldn't say it was all quality but overall this is a very, "wonderful restaurant, to visit have a nice outdoor patio 4 people to enjoy the outside and they also have the inside which was way too warm for me to sit in. I admire the fact that they do have very friendly people in the front to assist you on a ordering. Restaurant was very clean and floors were kept clean. For the roast beef with potatoes and tea, cost 21 dollars. Grant it, it still was 'honestly good.' I love the decor it was very nicely done. To add to this review they had a 'lemonade herbal drink stand in the front of the entrance a plus. So very California and it is a very healthy spot to eat. I will return again hopefully I'll get a better review than just 3 stars review the 1 thing that I can tell you is there was a tiny little piece of plastic that was inside of the potatoes may be from a container maybe not sure either or I never said anything nor will I because I felt this was my first time there I have to give them another chance.

A great healthy option for lunch that has plentiful parking and usually very little wait. Order at the counter and food gets brought out to you quickly. It's never too loud so a great place to meet a friend or have a business lunch. You can get salads, bowls or plates and everything is nicely labeled for those of you who have dietary needs (vegan, vegetarian or gluten free). I tend to go for plates because I like so many of the sides so it gives me some options!

First time trying this place and I am hooked!! I was craving some vegetables and this place has SO many delicious and healthy options! My cousin and I ordered for pickup and the process was smooth and efficient. I chose the Italian chopped salad with shrimp and a side of broccoli and everything was so tasty! The salad was crunchy and fresh and came with a Calabrian chili vinaigrette. The perfect amount of spice to add to this delicious salad. The shrimp and broccoli were cooked perfectly and I cannot wait to try something different from here the next time I visit.

3.5 stars. This was my first visit. I ordered the black bean falafel wrap. It was flavorful; but the wrap fell open on both halves, not really wrapped. The Black Bean Falafel was crumbly and not what I expected. The Glute Free Chocolate Chip Cashew cookies are so delicious--5-star delicious! I'll have to try something different if I go back.

As a regular, find it disgusting the cashier keeps drinking from her pink water bottle, with customers in front of. Shame on the manager who is doing nothing about!

Another trip to Flower Child for lunch and was pleased with the food. My avocado Cesar salad was good and everyone in my party of 6 enjoyed their meal. We enjoyed sitting on the patio as the AC wasn't working properly that day. The servers had a little issue getting everyone their correct order but it all worked out fine.

I love love this place. I thought it looked somewhat bougie from the outside. Really pleasantly surprised how all the dishes are quite affordable and healthy. The ambiance is cozy and beautiful. I come here on Fridays for lunch, so parking isn't easy but I always manage to find a spot. The restaurant itself is never too busy. Last week I got the 3 sides with tofu, grilled broccoli, and curried cauliflower. I really enjoyed them. I thought they were going to be boring dishes, but there were a lot of flavors and textures in the veggie side dishes. I wish they had locations closer to me.

Like many restaurants this one has come out the other side of the Covid era with higher prices and poorer quality food. Flower Child has always been one of my favorites but this location just doesn't represent the brand well. I got a steak plate with sweet potato and watermelon dish as sides. Four tiny pieces of steak, a handful of sweet potato, tiny bits of bok choy (I think - it was too tiny to tell) and all thrown on the plate with food kind of everywhere. The watermelon salad was sitting in a soup of sauce and tasted like it had been there overnight. My husband had the chicken enchilada add steak and that actually look pretty good. So I don't know - not too spectacular for what was almost $50 after tip. Staff was delightful though.

Beautiful patio area with good shade coverage and large interiors with bright colors. Very happy and pleasant place to be. Would recommend for casual brunch or quick lunches on a nice warm day. I got the glow bowl with grilled and marinated tofu. Beautiful plating as expected from a place that looks that good. The tofu tasted fantastic and was the perfect texture with great flavor, it's worth the additional $3. The glow bowl itself was not bad, more of a warm dish than your typical health bowl. They had sweet potato noodles, but I wouldn't call them noodles. They were super short as if they all broke while looking. But the flavor of the entire bowl was very good. Only compliment is I had a long wait for my food. I watched everyone who ordered after me get their food before me, and when I finally asked about it, my plate was just sitting on the rack. Seems like that's happened to other people as well, so just keep note that might happen. At least my food was still warm.

Flower Child I have heard great things about Flower Child but have never stopped at any of the Austin locations. I was able to dine early with their friends and family event and try a plethora of different dishes. The food was delicious and super healthy for the options. We had the Mother Earth bowl with salmon, butternut squash soup, GF muffins, and the feta spread. The salmon was so yummy! Cooked perfectly. The feta spread was delicious - could use more crackers to go with it but that's okay. The restaurant vibes are great all around and honestly the food is very good priced. It's like a more modern chipotle! Can't wait to come back and try the salads and more - thanks for a great time!

The food and the service were amazing, the vibe and the flavor were the same, amazing. I wish I had one of these in my town, because I would spend all my money there. I even got to meet the manager, and he was legit. Would eat there again 1000x.

Love that there's a more convenient location than downtown! And hello ample parking *insert praise hands* Food/menu is the exact same as all the other locations but would stood out was the service. The girl running dishes to the tables was so kind and warm -- she really made it a delightful experience. I got my usual (salmon plate with GF Mac and cheese and Parmesan broccoli -- the best comfort food!), my husband did the steak with two sides of Mac (he said the steak was super soft and easy for our toddler to chew on), and my MIL got the noodle bowl. It was a little spicier than she expected but said the flavor was great.

Don't call it a chain like it's a bad thing! I'm all for the expanding Flower Child empire. The new Westlake location is the 30th outpost, and they show no signs of slowing down. I'm no stranger to the concept; before I was even living in Austin, I was so taken by my first experiences at the downtown restaurant that I devoted a full blog feature to it, apropos of nothing. Now that I live here, this new spot has a big advantage that didn't matter when I was taking the bus: ABUNDANT PARKING! That, plus a bright, spacious dining room and full menu with tons of seasonal, fresh, plant-based dishes makes it an easy win for any day f the week. Branching out from my usual picks, I tried the Glow Bowl and might have a new favorite here. You've got a spiralized sweet potato situation with a rich coconut and sunflower butter sauce that tastes like spicy peanut satay. Warm, rich, yet light and energizing, it's perfect for this "chilly" fall day. Go ahead, be extra, add the tofu, because that herb seasoning is simply ‍. I think you know where to find me for my "working lunches" moving forward.

I LOVE this place! It's a chain...I don't normally eat at many chain restaurants unless there's something special about them. Flower Child is SO SO HEALTHY & always CONSISTENTLY DELICIOUS! I've eaten at several locations & will continue to do so. My FAVORITE is the Forbidden Rice Bowl with Salmon added onto it, but with many friends & many visits, we've pretty much tried everything. NOTHING has been disappointing. Fresh ingredients, friendly staff & a good tea selection. :)

Flower child! How I've missed you from Santa Monica and didn't even know a location in Westlake opened up until a couple months ago. This location is filled with natural light, is spacious and airy, and the food is even better than the SM location. We always order: -Rebel wrap -their caesar salad or strawberry salad -Mac and cheese and of course, the scrumptious chocolate pudding. We now grab food here often as a family whenever we have appointments in the area or before shopping at the trader joe's close by!

Every time I visit here it is great experience. The staff is so well trained and always cheerful. The food is great also and always look forward to seasonal dishes. I live about 20 miles away but anytime in neighborhood this is my first stop!

Mother Earth + chicken bowl is mothering. I know that any time I visit Flower Child, I will leave satisfied and well nourished. It's giving life, light and wellness. Immersed in an old Westlake shopping center, so you get like an old money vibe paired with vibrant staff and fresh modern decor, that's just balance y'all.

Yum! Consistency and quality is worth the price! Everything I have eaten there has been delicious and fresh with ingredients you can feel Great about

A nice and much needed surprise in Westlake. Didn't realize Flower Child opened here as well- new family friendly restaurants are welcome. This location is large, bright with flower themed murals and fun decor. I tend to order the Mother Earth bowl in which I added shrimp today. Ingredients were fresh and seasoned well. My friend had the chicken entree that she coupled with mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese- also fresh and hot from the kitchen. It took a little longer than usual but the server came over to apologize and offered us something else while we waited a few more minutes. We sat indoors but they do have a nice large shaded patio.

Flower child flavor transitions to the West Lake location. I do enjoy this space more then the domain. It's hidden slightly heavily surrounded by trees. The staff was friendly and offered to bring it to my car as a to go after I ordered. I got the steak and two sides with Mac & Cheese and Brussels sprouts. It was all worth it! Highly recommend checking out.

Ordered to go for a meeting and I will say this is the best salmon I've had in a while. It was tender and juicy. Sometimes salmon is overcooked and/or tasteless, but at Flower Child they cook it to perfection!

I love flower child! It's all so flavorful, healthy, and such a cute spot! If you're thinking about getting the Mac '& cheese, do it!

Great food!! Cool place. Really enjoyed my meal and will be back. Lots of healthy options.

One of my favorite places in town! Flower Child is always fresh and delicious. I feel healthy eating there but it's also fast-casual so you aren't waited on and it's pretty quick. The cafes are always cute and feel like spring. This location has a nice spacious patio, great for an evening meal with the fam. Also: the lemon olive oil tea cakes are amazing. Just try it. Thank me later.

Phenomenal food. Phenomenal service. Organic, grass-fed options, and tons of gluten free, vegan and vegetarian and consciously sourced meat options as well. 10/10

Great chill atmosphere and even better food! Love to come here for a much needed healthy break. Everyone was super attentive and Andrew (the GM I believe) made sure our dining experience was a memorable one.

I wanted to love flower child so I could have another healthy go to in West lake for busy nights but it has not lived up to the hype for us. My family and I tried this location multiple times and left disappointed every time. The prices relative to portion size are slim. Sometimes herbs and ingredients are fresh (usually at lunch) other times they are not (usually at dinner). Last night specifically, my husband and I both ordered the beef soup. It was a seasonal special I had been eyeing on the poster outside and I thought for sure this would be the dish that changed our opinion of FC. What we saw on the poster vs what we got was actually comical. It was 5 bites of food for $20 each. Taste was decent, but after we finished we went elsewhere to eat. Staff is great. Restaurant is clean. Food needs attention.

Lovely food and friendly staff, in a clean and pleasant environment. Every dish I've tried was delicious and healthy and excellent quality. Highly recommended. Don't let the fact that their food is healthy and mostly organic deter you ;), it's a really delicious.

Flower Child Westlake is the newest Austin area location. The food is delicious with lots of gluten-free and vegan, healthy dishes. The tree-covered patio is amazing and very relaxing. The great food, beautiful setting and kind, professional service make this my new favorite Flower Child. Highlights: Dog friendly SHADED patio. Lots of vegan & gluten-free Spaced out tables, in and out Affordable prices with a fancy feel Large tables for families Plenty of free parking 4 varieties of hot tea. My MOM even loves it.

Just checked out Flower Child Westlake (in the Randalls Center) with a friend for lunch today and LOVED IT! The place is really bright and open, very positive and happy! At noon it was getting full, but we didn't have a problem getting a table by the windows. I had the Mother Earth Bowl, full of grains and other good stuff and thoroughly enjoyed it. The menu is full of well priced salads, bowls and other things that will appeal to everybody, I think. As with most popular spots, it did get pretty noisy, and it was hard to hear the conversation at my table at times. But, I can't wait to go back!

Worst food ever ... It's like they just tried to make the food look good and colorful, but they neglected the taste... Don't usually give reviews at all, but it was so awful... especially the guacamole (tasteless) and the pita bread (tasted like cardboard)...

Great food friendly service. Used to have to go to the Domain, this is much closer. Staff was great

I ate lunch here twice. On both occasions my experience was better than expected. I'm a 74 year old guy and try to eat well and that's easy to do at this place. If you like Whataburger don't come here. If you know food then you will enjoy this place. Joe H . Austin

This place was not it. The staff was quite rude. I got the chopped salad and added steak the steak was so undercooked I had to throw it out. Nothing about the meal really stood out to me. I probably wouldn't return

Ridiculous people working there. I ordered a bowl to go and sat at a table near the to-go area and waited half an hour to find out my food had been sitting next to me on a rack for lord knows how long. Why would you take someone's name for a to-go order and not call it out but immediately just set the food on a rack? With so many people working there, with what seemed like nothing to do, I'm astonished at the aloofness and disregard for people waiting for food. I want to like this place because the food is decent but I cannot justify $25 for a bowl of food and drink to be completely ignored by the team there. I hate how I feel like somehow it was my fault for not checking this rack or interrogating every worker coming out with food, but it's really not my responsibility to make sure customers are getting the food they ordered. Bad service will always trump good food, so sorry hate to leave such a bad review, but they really disappointed me and I'm never going back!

Delicious, nutritious, and timely. I'm a flower child fanatic for life I love the salads and bowls, esp with shrimp and salmon added. But you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu!

Surprisingly good. I'll be back. Prices are not cheap, but the food was high quality.

The people are kind and the first time I got food here, it was delicious. Ever since, it's just been a disappointment. I actually ordered the Childs chicken today and even at $13, I got little tiny pieces of chicken that look like it might go into a taco and the broccoli was hard as a rock. What a waste of my money and time. This point, I will be back. Overpricing totally not worth it.
