One of my favorite places in Scottsdale for a quick bite! I felt very safe and have never gotten sick. So nice to have an option like this that isn’t a formal sit down restaurant that can still accommodate dietary restrictions

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

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

I always considered this place relatively safe, but on the last trip things did not look right as I watched the prep - so I broke out our Nima to test for Gluten when we got home. Sure enough -- Nima tested and Nima failed - positive for gluten (notwithstanding the giant allergy alert on the ticket). Celiacs be careful here.

Only been once so far, but I'm going back. Really liked the salads, and it was easy to tell what was safe.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great gf wraps for lunch, gf marked on menu.

Good Food Gluten Free Menu

Celiac friendly?

I love this place! The staff is super knowledgeable and will answer any questions you have. They do great with allergies and most items on the menu are gluten free. I’ve ordered several things from here including Mac & cheese and enchiladas, and everything is always fresh and delicious! They also have some of the BEST chocolate chip cookies that I’ve ever eaten before (even before I was diagnosed with celiac). You definitely don’t want to miss this place.

I love Flower Child! I used to live right next to one on Lovers and it was really great. Most of their menu is gluten free too. This location is kind of iffy. The food was very subpar at this location and the staff were really negative. It was cold and overcooked. My food was all gluten free and I had no reaction, so I’m thankful for that. I got the chicken, broccoli (with no bread crumbs), and the gluten free Mac and cheese. I get this same order every time I go to Flower Child, so I know it was just a location thing. I strongly recommend this place if you’re gluten free because it’s safe and delicious, but I will definitely be using the extra gas to go to another location.

DO NOT EAT HERE! I know there may be positive reviews, but trust me, it’s not worth the risk. There’s other places in Wildwood that you can get food from. I ordered the “gluten free” Mac n cheese from Flower Child and within 2 hours was nonstop vomiting so severely that I was hospitalized for a night. This was one of the worst reactions of my whole life, and I have no idea how it happened since their Mac n cheese is allegedly supposed to be gluten free, with no non-gf version available. If you have Celiac, DO NOT EAT AT FLOWER CHILD, don’t ruin your day/week by getting glutened here!

I ate lunch here this past weekend and had a wonderful experience! I’m highly symptomatic and was just fine after eating here. There is potential for cross contamination, but all the staff seemed very well informed and knew exactly what to do. I feel that this is one of the safest restaurants for me in Houston.

So many gluten free options and great for kids!! My daughter (celiac) never gets sick when we eat here and my sons who are not gluten free say the gf mac and cheese is the best here! I personally love the forbidden rice bowl. They change their gloves for my daughter even though everything we order is gf!
