Sara's full firsthand review

Such a lovely little gem of a bakery tucked in a nice little neighborhood! I happened to be walking in the area and the shoppe simply caught my attention. The outside of the cafe is painted with a beautiful mural of cake and all things cute. Selling pretty flower's in a bakery? It's not anything new.. its so "European-ish!" I've always dreamed of opening a cafe with such a concept as my own. Seeing this concept in reality was lovely. Who wouldn't want to buy a bouquet of flowers to go along with a cake? It was a delight entering the cafe and noticing the pretty little cakes and pastries. The breakfast and lunch menu were intriguing, and I decided to settle for a savory crepe. To my surprise, it was amazingly delicious and one of the best crepes I ever had. The crepe was slightly sweet and salty, consisting of roasted vegetables and cheese. It was a flavorful vegetarian crepe that wasn't missing any meat. The meal itself was quite filling and my belly was delighted. I paired my meal along with a caffe latte, which in all honesty, wasn't the best that I've had. They also have morning buns, which had run out by afternoon. Haven't explored the pastries in depth but will try them next time around! I hope Flower Flour continues to do well.. they display a lovely presence in a quiet neighborhood. Go try them out for yourself!
