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!

Great place for a celiac. Mention celiac and wheat allergy and it will be prepped accordingly. Menu is marked with GF items. Never had issues here. It’s wonderful.

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!

Gluten free mac was delicious! Very good about asking about allergies & making sure there is no cross contamination. I had no reaction.

Neat place. Lots of gf options. Menu was clearly marked and waitstaff knowledgeable. I split the enchiladas (very good) and Peruvian chicken ( just ok). Mango green tea was delicious. Definitely will return. A bit pricey.

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.
