Flower Child

Ordered the gluten free Mac n cheese + chicken and broccoli & the chocolate pudding. My meal was truly gluten free! Walked out of there with zero head fog. Everything was delicious. (Only complaint was the chicken was a little dry. I’ll try a different meat next time.)

Been enjoying this place 2years! Its a frequent stop when visiting from Philly! Plenty of GF options. Favorite is the Thai Cashew Quinoa bowl with roast chicken added! Also fantastic sides from spicy eggplant, roasted cauliflower, and gf Mac and cheese! Never disappointed! So excited one is coming east to DC!

Lots of vegan and gluten free options. My husband is celiac and has never gotten sick here! Their bowls are amazing and they are knowledgeable on gluten allergies and will make substitutions to make a dish gluten free. They have gluten free Mac n cheese that my kids loved!

I have eaten the gluten-free items on the menu twice. Both times I became ill afterwards. There must be cross-contamination happening in the kitchen.

A cute breakfast/brunch/lunch spot. It tends to be crowded but has good food and they are friendly to those with allergies. They offer lots of healthy options and were accommodating to everyone. It’s a little pricey for what you get but it is a trendy spot in south end so not too surprised by that

I had the gluten free mac and cheese, and it was hands down the best gluten free mac and cheese I've ever had.

This place is AMAZING. The best gluten free Mac & cheese ever. Delicious curry. The quinoa corn is a must. And for our gluten free, egg free guest, the flying avocado turkey wrap on the gluten free (& vegan) pita was incredible. Everything so sooooo good. Go here! Idk why there’s not more reviews of this place- maybe it just opened? But we are so happy we came!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Pricey but very good. Clearly labeled menu. 👍🏼

I love flower child so much :)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very good food with several GF options. I got the steak with GF Mac and Cheese and Brussel sprouts. Also, they had a Lemmon muffin that was good and fresh.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ordered the gf Mac and cheese and a few veggies sides for delivery- all delicious. I highly recommend the gf chocolate chip cookie with cashews and coconut- delicious!

The food was good and they have lots of gluten free items that are clearly marked on their menu. However the last time I ate here I had a salad and one of their lemon muffins and I got sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have been here many times in the past couple years and have never got sick! They are very cautious when you tell them you have an allergy and most of the menu is gluten free! Definitely recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Always one of my faves! I’m glad there are so many locations. I always try to eat here when I’m traveling. This time I had the Curry Pot Roast and GF Mac and Cheese. No reaction and delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This is always a go to for me! I love their food and they are always knowledgeable about gluten. I’ve never gotten sick here and I do have celiac disease.

Eat here all the time, never a reaction

I have eaten here several times and have not been sick once. You can even download their app and setup a profile that specifies you as gluten free. 10/10.

So many GF options ! I told them About celiac and they told the manager and made sure the food was handled properly without cross contamination!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious clean food! Highly recommend

The staff took special care to mark food with a gluten allergy and avoid cross contamination. Salad portions were huge and I felt full after. Would come back here in a heartbeat.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

First time being here, all GF items were clearly marked. The pumpkin muffins (GF) were amazing and so was our dinner. We will be back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was knowledgeable. Lots of options. Food tasted amazing!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

While the woman who initially took my order didn’t seem to take my celiac-based questions seriously, after asking to speak to the manager, he was highly attentive and helpful, and assured me he would prepare my meal himself. I ordered the salmon, hummus (with GF pita), and the GF Mac and cheese. Everything was delicious, and I had no negative side effects! I encourage fellow celiacs to be assertive and make sure the manager is aware (as the cashier didn’t show any intention of notifying anyone), but can say that this location can safely prepare a tasty meal for us!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great gf menu. The pudding cup is better than the brownie for dessert!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Loved Flower Child. I had the kale salad (which is also organic) and it was delicious and very filling. Would definitely eat here again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing salads and many other items all labeled GF and/or vegan. The GF chocolate chip cookie is so good, but they also have brownies and cakes. An excellent spot to eat safely (and bonus it's delicious).

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GF Mac n cheese is delicious! I get a 3 item plate with either grilled chicken or steak, Mac n cheese and cauliflower curry! They have lots of gf options! Even gf brownie for dessert!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing options! We will definitely be back!

I ordered a Thai dye wrap and a bowl through door dash and I don’t think they paid attention to the CELIAC DISEASE/GLUTEN ALLERGY warnings I wrote all over the place because I am so sick right now it’s ridiculous. Pretty sure they gave me the regular wrap instead of the gf one. Ruined my big week and trip to universal studios. Big shame. Be careful when ordering via delivery.

Celiac friendly?

No

Everything is marked GF on their menu, making ordering super simple. Food is delicious as well!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff very knowledgeable I eat here often!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Lots of gluten free options as well as vegan and. Vegetarian! I had the spicy coconut curry and the gf Mac and cheese and let me tell you it was amazing! I didn’t get sick either! They were also in the loop with Celiac and said I would be safe! Overall great place! Stay safe and God bless!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

All of the items I ordered were marked gluten free, and I made sure to note that I have Celiac (also said severe gluten allergy for anyone not familiar). Food was delicious but I got SO sick after. Might be a good place for those wanting to go gluten free for personal reasons, but not safe for Celiacs at all.

Celiac friendly?

No

So good!! Many options to choose from :)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

An oasis for those gf. We had wraps which had extra salad that accompanied the meal. Also, we sampled mac and chase and mashed potatoes- allllllll so yummy! After trying other restaurants with “gf” meals and being sick several days in a row, what a relief to enjoy the Flower Child.

Most of their menu is gluten free and they mark all their allergies for the back of the house on the receipt. Really high end organic eatery that’s great but pricey.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Super cute, trendy restaurant with extensive gluten free options on the menu. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. They even had gluten free desserts to top it off. Highly recommend!

Many GF options including multiple desserts, high quality food GF food!

Been here twice with no reaction. The staff seems knowledgeable, and they said gloves are changed to avoid cross-contamination. Super healthy and delicious options!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have been eating here for years and keep going back because of their healthy food choices and gluten free options. They use locally sourced products and mostly organic. They offer many different bowls then if you want an added protein you pay extra for that unless you prefer no meat. The bowls are varied and change based on the seasons, but incorporate many different vegetables. They usually just offer 3 different desserts, a brownie, an olive oil lemon cupcake (my favorite) so moist and flavorful, and a chocolate chip cookie with other add ins. Best of all they are all gluten free! The only down side is they have not installed any sound proofing in the ceiling and as this is a very popular restaurant it can be incredibly noisy during rush times.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Lots of options which are gluten free. It is also easy to eat with other food sensitivities. I am dairy free as well. They were knowledgeable and made the ordering simple. It is a good place to go with a large group, and the food is very good. I will go back.
