Cafe Flora has been serving vegetarian cuisine using local ingredients in Seattle's Madison Valley neighborhood since 1991. I had the opportunity to stop by for the first time in December to enjoy their Holiday Afternoon Tea.
Seating is available in the dining room, atrium, and outdoor patio. We were seated in the light-filled atrium which features a stone fountain and a tree growing in the center of the room.
The tea menu includes black, green, oolong, and herbal teas from Portal Tea (formerly Tea Chai Te), another long-standing fixture in the Pacific Northwest. They also offer festive mixed drinks, including an alcohol-free option, and wine.
My tea for this festive occasion was Gingerbread Chai. Everything was delicious and I especially enjoyed the gingerbread scone, English cucumber and herbed cream cheese sandwich, and evergreen meringue.
Cafe Flora offers vegan and gluten-free alternatives and can accommodate other dietary restrictions with enough notice. While afternoon tea is only offered on holidays and requires a reservation, many of the teas listed on the afternoon tea menu are also included on their daily menu.
