Cafe Flora

We tried Cafe Flora's lovely vegetarian fare for the first time last weekend with a Saturday brunch. It's got a super cute dining room, and the bar and atrium-like area looked really cute too. The service was just lovely.

Here's what our party had:

Cath had a breakfast quesadilla - flour tortilla filled with roasted yams, corn and Pepper Jack cheese wrapped with egg and pan fried. It was served with some sort of hot sauce, lime crème fraîche, and a little green salad with cilantro vinaigrette.


I had the heirloom tomato summer scramble. The eggs were mixed with fresh corn, grilled onions, and fresh dill. It was topped with a few slices of heirloom tomatoes and some salty crumbles of cotija cheese. It was served with some yummy cheesy grits and a slice of blueberry bread that I am pretty sure was vegan. It was pretty good, but a lot of eggs that were nothing super special.

I should have stolen more bites of Michael's peach pecan waffle. It was a very tasty cornmeal waffle garnished with toasted pecans, tart fresh peaches, and real maple syrup. This was delicious!
Even though this place doesn't have bacon and sausage, I'd totally come back for brunch. I think it would be fun to try for dinner too.
