Flower Child Cafe Chatswood- The Food

Flower Child Café is a popular brunch spot that features a variety of delicious foods that caters to everyone’s preference. From breakfast that includes French toast for all you people with a sweet tooth, to lunch options that incorporates a variety of savoury items, you will never miss out on your favourite foods.

The Foodies of Sydney team visited Flower Child Café located in Westfield Chatswood on a Thursday at lunchtime. We waited approximately 10 mins for a table and was served within a few minutes of sitting down.

What we ordered:

Eggs Benedict: The eggs benedict was served with prosciutto and grilled asparagus on a flaky baked croissant with poached eggs and burnt hollandaise sauce. Flower Child had put a twist on this classic brunch item by incorporating a croissant instead of the traditional English muffin, which gave it an interesting aspect that we enjoyed very much. However, although the presentation of this dish looked amazing with its unique concept, the flavour of this dish was not as outstanding as what it looked to be. Yet, it was still a great brunch item that gave a spin on the classic eggs benedict.

Vegan Bowl: Another popular item on the menu was the vegan bowl, perfect for vegetarians and vegans. This featured house made falafel, quinoa, sweet potato, wild rocket leaf, pickled gold beets, avocado, roasted truss tomatoes, pomegranate, spiced chickpeas, almonds and sesame seeds, served with a pickled beetroot hummus and lemon tahini dressing.

 In our opinion  the vegan bowl had the perfect balance of savory and acidity and the overall variety within the dish is unbelievable. The saying of eating with your eyes first holds true for the vegan bowl as it was extremely aesthetic.The array of red, yellow and green colours also gave the dish a very vibrant  and unique indie vibe.

Summer Toast: The last item that we ordered was the Summer Toast, one of Flower Child Café’s special items that can only be found around this time. It included special toast with an array of tomatoes, and cheese with a balsamic glaze, a perfect light and fresh meal.

Upon arrival of the dish the appearance of the dish was instantly appealing to the eye, with its fresh, vibrant colours. The tomatoes were varying in colour and garnished with a few salad leaves, emphasising the ‘summer’ themed dish. However, the charcoal toast was extremely dry, and the items on the plate lacked flavour and techniques that would’ve made the dish a lot more appetising. Overall the flavour of the dish was quite average however very aesthetically pleasing and perfect for those looking for a healthy, light meal and to brighten up their social media accounts.

Look forward to next week’s post more about Flower Child Café.
