Flower Child

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.

Items on the menu are clearly marked, and there are so many gluten free options. When I let the staff know I’m celiac they make a note a seem to handle everything with care. I’ve never been sick and the food always tastes great!

Great options, great food, and the staff asked me about my level of gluten tolerance so they could notify the staff. This places caters to many dietary preferences and conditions. Staff is very friendly, service was great. Very busy when I went for lunch.

I had the forbidden rice bowl along with the of the soup of the day, which was a chipotle potato soup and shared a cookie for dessert. I enjoyed everything and had no reaction after eating. I look forward to returning.

I have eaten here several times and have not been sick once. You can even download their app and setup a profile that specifies you as gluten free. 10/10.

Staff was knowledgeable. Lots of options. Food tasted amazing!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

All of the items I ordered were marked gluten free, and I made sure to note that I have Celiac (also said severe gluten allergy for anyone not familiar). Food was delicious but I got SO sick after. Might be a good place for those wanting to go gluten free for personal reasons, but not safe for Celiacs at all.

Celiac friendly?

No

So good!! Many options to choose from :)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’ve been here five times. Menu items marked GF. First four times I was fine and enjoyed. On the latest visit, they very clearly didn’t handle cross contamination correctly and I was sick all night. I guess the hostess or chef were new and didn’t understand/remember what meant by Celiac and no cross contamination. Otherwise usually nice menu options.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

they really take celiac disease very seriously! Healthy and delicious, not too expensive, depending on what you get. Their menu has gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian labels which is very convenient. And to top it all off, the place is gorgeous! Also, If you are gluten free, make sure you let the cashier know so they’ll take the needed precautions.THIS IS A MUST TRY RESTAURANT!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Menu is marked for gluten free. They will also mark your meal for allergy if you notify them when you order. Healthy, delicious food! The chocolate chip cookies are amazing!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Flew in and only 15 min from airport. Healthy and delicious! Mother earth with rice was GF and fabulous. Lots of GF options. Seating inside and outside. Will stop again when returning to the airport!

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.
