Ever since I first noticed Flour Power Cafe near my new neighborhood in San Antonio, I have thought it could either be very good or very disappointing. This weekend, my partner and I decided to take a gamble and try it. Although the sign is adorned with generic 60s-style "groovy" flowers, the decor inside is actually quite delightful. The walls are decorated with crisp, bright photos of various food items and the ceilings are festooned (yes, festooned) with brightly-colored hanging stars. Overall, the cafe has a casual, welcoming presence, despite the somewhat offensive flowers on the sign.
The ambiance is in keeping with the menu, which offers a variety of sandwiches, wraps, salads, and baked goods with ample options for vegetarians. I had the batata - a vegetable sandwich on subtly sweet whole wheat bread - along with pasta salad, and my partner had the portobello mushroom sandwich on warm, soft ciabatta. Both were incredibly tasty and perfect for a light lunch, as I imagine most of the other menu items would be.
We did not order desserts, which our waiter told us were Flour Power Cafe's signature feature, although they looked very tempting. You may see a future post on the signature desserts, as I am certain I will be back often.
Overall, I left feeling delighted and excited about discovering such a lovely restaurant.
