Café Flora 2101 Tower Grove Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63110

"The food was amazing and large portions. They also give you complimentary water which is usually what I drink anyway. My wife and I were hesitant to spend $12-$14 on a meal here not knowing how big the portions were and if it was even good or not. Well, the food is really good and it'll fill you up, bring an appetite. We'll definitely eat here again next time we're close by."

"We had a lovely meal sitting outside at this cafe! They have a carafe of water on every table which was nice since it was warm out. We could have chose to eat inside but we wanted to enjoy the outdoor view which was some of the water displays. We both got the chicken bagels with bacon which came with a side of fresh fruit. You order at the counter but they bring the food out to you. It was delicious! #summerbucketlist"

"Cafe Flora is a great spot to relax and get a bite to eat after walking around the Botanical Gardens. The food is terrific. It was very fresh and delicious. The portions are good, too. It's hard to tell, but the Cafe inhabits a building that has been there since the 1850s. The view from the outdoor seating is spectacular. We will definitely go back when visiting the Missouri Botanical Gardens."

"Review May 2022 - Unfortunately my previous review needs to be revoked as a more recent experience was overwhelmingly disappointing as well as disqualifying for another visit. During this visit we got in a line of more than 10 people. After about 10 minutes of waiting and multiple guests ordering, getting a seating number and going to their table we were informed they were closed. At this point we had reached third in line from being served and the clerk at the register announced that the previous woman served would be the last for the day as the kitchen was closed. The complaint here isn't the hours or that the kitchen closed; that is very reasonable. The problem is it was clear the clerk at the register and the staff knew they were closing while they continued to let more and more people que the line. No one informed us they were about to close therefore we wasted time as well as were experiencing the joy of looking forward to the excellent food they serve. In addition, I went back to look at the brochures and information and found it very difficult to find official hours of the cafe. I understand the cafe and garden are separate entities and companies but it looks bad upon the garden; I'm perplexed the garden isn't concerned about this. Review from 2021: Cafe Flora is an excellent eating establishment with good quality and unique eats. The staff was cordial and friendly. I read other reviews indicating the staff was rude and that you are not allowed to use the tables to sit and drink a cup of water. It's important to note the seating here is limited and the location is often very busy. Other benches are located throughout the gardens. If I was waiting for my order I'd prefer to be able to sit and enjoy my meal since I paid for it. The water cup comments should be firmly disregarded. The food was very flavorful, don't pass up this location."

"Went to St Louis on vacation and thought we would give this place a try! Don’t waste you time and money!!!! RUDE -RUDE-RUDE!!!! I should have looked at the 2.8 rating and ran, I can see why! My 18 year old daughter got a cup of water for the water fountain and this man/employee started yelling and her and took it away! It’s a plastic cup!! No customer service, your employee clearly don’t value the customer or the job!!! AVOID GOING TO CAFE FLORA!!!"
