How do I make Flower Child vegan?
Order a vegan-marked bowl (Mother Earth or "Forbidden" Rice, or the Glow Bowl, Spicy Coconut Green Curry or new Flo-Cho Chow depending on your location's menu) or the Chopped Vegetable or Ginger Miso Crunch salad, and add tofu for more protein. For a plate, get the Tofu Plate with two vegan sides such as Red Chile Glazed Sweet Potato and Roasted Brussels Sprouts, start with Classic or Avocado Hummus, and finish with the Chocolate Pudding. Say you are vegan when you order, as Flower Child asks guests to share dietary restrictions.
Does Flower Child label vegan items on its menu?
Yes. Every Flower Child menu marks dishes with its own vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free icons, and its Nutritional & Allergen Information sheet repeats the vegan flag item by item. On the current (September) menu the vegan-marked core is four bowls, two salads, the Black Bean Falafel wrap, both hummus plates, tofu, six sides and the Chocolate Pudding.
Is the Mother Earth Bowl at Flower Child vegan?
Yes. It is ancient grains, sweet potato, portobello mushroom, avocado, cucumber, broccoli pesto, charred onion, leafy greens, red pepper miso vinaigrette and hemp seed, and Flower Child marks it vegan. The allergen chart lists wheat, soy and sesame, so it is not gluten-free.
Is Flower Child's tofu vegan?
Yes. Tofu is marked vegan and gluten-free on the menu, and the allergen chart lists only soy for it. You can add it to any salad or bowl, order it as a Tofu Plate with two sides, or pick it for the kids' plate.
Are Flower Child's sweet potato fries vegan?
Not as served. The Roasted Sweet Potato Fries come with buttermilk yogurt ranch, and the allergen chart lists milk and egg for the side. Flower Child does not publish allergen data for the fries without the ranch, so ordering them plain may work but is not confirmed.
Which Flower Child sauces and dressings are vegan?
The lemon avocado dressing, which Flower Child calls sugar-free and dairy-free, is marked vegan in its allergen chart, and the Chopped Vegetable and Ginger Miso Crunch salads stay vegan with their ginger miso vinaigrette and asian dressing. The sunflower sauce, red chili hoisin, red pepper miso vinaigrette, broccoli pesto and umami sauce all come on dishes the chart marks vegan. Skip the buttermilk yogurt ranch, and note that the chain publishes no separate data for the avocado caesar, apple cider, tomatillo or gorgonzola dressings.
Is Flower Child's pita bread vegan?
Yes. Both hummus plates are served with pita and are marked vegan in the allergen chart (wheat and sesame), and the gluten-free pita substitute is also marked vegan (it contains soy). Flower Child publishes no separate data for the artisan tortilla on The 1924.
Is the tzatziki in Flower Child's Black Bean Falafel wrap vegan?
Yes, as served in that wrap. The Black Bean Falafel wrap, which includes a side salad, carries the vegan flag in the allergen chart, which lists wheat, soy and sesame for it but no milk. The new fall 2026 menu shown for the Meridian, ID location does not include this wrap.
Is Flower Child's chickpea chorizo vegan?
Flower Child does not say. It appears only in the Taco Salad and the Green Chile Queso, which both contain cheese and are marked vegetarian, not vegan, and the allergen chart has no separate line for the chorizo.
Is Flower Child's Cauliflower "Risotto" vegan?
Yes. It is cauliflower rice with coconut, toasted bread crumb, lemon and parsley, and it is marked vegan on the menu and in the allergen chart. The bread crumb means it contains wheat (the chart also lists sesame), so it is not gluten-free.
Is Flower Child's daily soup vegan?
It depends on the day, because the soup rotates. The allergen chart marks 11 soups vegan, including Butternut Squash & Parsnip, Indian Lentil with Dukka, Miso Mushroom with Tofu, Red Quinoa & White Bean Minestrone and Moroccan Sweet Potato with Chickpea & Cilantro, while the chicken and beef soups are not. Ask which soup is on that day.
Are Flower Child's desserts vegan?
Only the Chocolate Pudding, which the online ordering menu names Vegan Gluten-Free Chocolate Pudding (topped with sprouted almond and toasted coconut). The Chocolate Chip Cashew Cookie lists butter, eggs and milk powder, and the allergen chart lists egg for the brownie, the Lemon Olive Oil Cake and the Pumpkin Muffin.
