What I Ordered
🥞 Savory Vegetarian Crepe
A pleasant surprise — and easily one of the best crepes I’ve had.
- Lightly sweet yet savory
- Filled with roasted vegetables
- Melted cheese throughout
- Perfectly balanced flavor
It was hearty, satisfying, and didn’t miss the presence of meat at all. A beautifully executed vegetarian option.
☕ Caffè Latte
While enjoyable, the latte wasn’t the strongest part of the visit. It paired well with the meal but didn’t quite stand out.
What to Try Next Time
- Morning buns (sold out by afternoon — always a good sign)
- Custom cakes
- Petite pastries
There’s plenty left to explore.
The Atmosphere
Flower Flour has a warm, inviting presence in a quiet neighborhood. It feels personal, curated, and thoughtfully designed — a lovely place to sit, sip, and savor.
