Flossom Kitchen + Cafe — Restaurant in San Juan

Embarking on a gastronomic voyage to rediscover Flossom after half a decade of absence proved to be a decision laden with intrigue and high expectations. What beckoned us back to its embrace was the tantalizing rumor that it had become pet-friendly. With our canine companion in tow, we ventured forth, and what we uncovered was a tapestry of flavors and experiences worthy of recounting.

Pet-Friendly Excellence Our canine friend was the first to be welcomed into Flossom, a gesture that warms the hearts of pet owners. However, do heed a crucial note of advice - ensure your furry companion dons a diaper for the occasion. What truly elevated the experience was the exceptional service. The staff anticipated our four-legged guest's need for hydration and promptly quenched his thirst. It was an attention to detail that immediately scored them major points in our book.

A Symphony of Flavors Now, let's delve into the heart of the matter - the food. The Baked Meatloaf emerged as the harbinger of pleasant surprises. Its composition boasted an impeccable balance between softness and crispiness, a culinary symphony that resonated deeply. Every bite revealed the essence of meat, harmonizing beautifully with a subtle undercurrent of egg. The crowning glory, undoubtedly, was the bechamel and mozzarella sauce toppings. They wove a tapestry of savory delights that caressed the palate, leaving an indelible impression.

On the other hand, the veggie sides, while competent, could have striven for crisper textures. A nuanced preference, some might argue, as softness finds its admirers too.

The Apple Butter Porkchop, alas, did not secure a place in our hearts. While the apple butter sauce proved to be a sumptuous revelation, the meat itself erred on the side of dryness. Its thickness lent an aura of substance, yet simultaneously rendered it tougher than desired. The flavors, while present, whispered rather than roared. A curious query arose - had the meat been brined before its culinary journey?

The dessert domain beckoned with the Tiramisu Cream Pancake, a culinary creation that received our unanimous seal of approval. Fluffy, ethereal, and redolent of authenticity, it soared to celestial heights. The prominent coffee essence, courtesy of the espresso syrup, sang a mellifluous ode to our taste buds.

Parking Pleasures In a bustling urban landscape, the gift of ample parking space is akin to a culinary blessing. It ensured our visit was devoid of the usual parking-related headaches, a detail not to be underestimated.

A Cozy Haven The ambiance at Flossom enveloped us in a warm, unhurried embrace. It proved ideal for a leisurely breakfast, a precious moment of respite from the bustling world outside.

In summation, Flossom has reclaimed its place on our culinary map, heralding a renaissance that commands our attention. While not without its minor idiosyncrasies, it has emerged from the shadows of past disappointments. Our culinary expedition, once marred, is now imbued with fresh anticipation. We eagerly await the chance to explore their meat offerings at lunch, perhaps paired with a glass of their house wine. Flossom has redeemed itself, a phoenix rising from the ashes of...

My son brought me here for a dinner date. He said they had unli-wine and he knew I enjoyed an occasional libation with my meals. He reserved a table but it was not full when we got there. One area was closed off for a small dinner party. The menu is quite extensive. I couldn't decide so I asked the waitress for recommendations. She said the Salisbury steak and Truffle Lechon Pasta. Which we both ordered for our main dishes. We also tried the Garlic Chorizo as an appetizer. It had cheese on it. It was good but they only gave 4 pcs of bread, which amounted to about 2 slices of an American loaf bread. It needed more bread. I also noticed that they offered a lot of dishes that are covered with cheese. Anyway, we had a glass of wine each. I had the Lambrusco, which was a bit stale and when I asked about it, maybe the bottle had been opened for some time, they said it was how it's supposed to be. They did not offer to change the wine. Quite disappointing. My son and I were enjoying our conversation when we realized that the table beside us were done eating. As an aside, they actually arrived after we did. So my son asked for our main dish orders. Apparently, they didn't get it. So we had to remind them of our orders and the food came out quite quickly. The main dishes were just ok. I was probably was expecting to be wowed because they were the recommended dishes. The desserts looked appetizing but they were out of the Tiramisu. We ordered the cookies are la mode to share. That dessert was good! The texture of the round cookies were quite chewy. Will be going back to taste that cookie again. The place is pet friendly, which is a plus for me, because we saw a dog on a diners lap while we were there. Lastly, a child was quite noisy and rowdy that night. The other people just looked annoyed but said nothing, and the waitstaff did not do anything. I had to call their attention and the attention of the child's humans to get him under control. If this was a pet, I am sure an uproar by the diners and a reprimand by the restaurant staff would have been executed immediately. People, leash your children! If you expect respect and pet responsibility from their hoomans, I as a pet lover, is kindly asking non pet lovers to...

i remember having fond memories dining in flossom and getting the breakfast platter, then sharing it with the family.

we went back recently after 4/5 years and everything’s similar to how it was before, except some areas were closed due to renovation.

•i don’t pointedly remember how it tasted back then, but the trash can nachos still slaps. they have thick guacamole so good along with their still volcano cheese poured onto the heap of nachos. it still also has lots of toppings like corned (?) beef, bell peppers, marinara, pico de gallo, onion cream apparently, and a few greens like cilantro but it kinda gets lots in the mix and you don’t taste it unless you get the part where it’s placed generously at the top. i don’t exactly remember if it was already corned beef then, but it’s clumped and isn’t spread out across the nachos heap. •truffle risotto was one of the best things we ordered, albeit it's a bit cloying.. added to that the salmon that doesn't exactly pair as well, but at least you get more protein bites. •initially, i wanted to order an avo toast with smoked salmon but they didn't have sourdough. when there's a stock issue, they offer alternatives like for this instance it was wheat bread but as i strongly felt for sourdough at the time, i didn't proceed with this order. •chicken volcano cheese was a bit disappointing as you get more batter than the actual chicken. the cheese was still a delight, but something here is amiss let alone the coleslaw slide that doesn’t really pair well with the dish. •while my company liked the crispy pork belly, i thought it was confusingly sweet chili (?) hahahah though the salsa was good, i’m not sure it pairs as well •drinks are okay, aesthetically pleasing for their color with blue (blueberry) and purple (lemon). personally don’t like blueberry and prefer lemon, but everyone else thought the opposite. •eggplant fries was also okay. they did a good fry on it, but the bechamel sauce dips and ketchup could be amped up in some other way or a third option for a dip. •chocolate cake was good. the top layer was the best for its mousse-like firm consistency, but the rest of the layers could be fudgier...
