Flour Power Cafe

I'm a sucker for anything promising bright colors and a cheery time.  I still love coloring books and jawbreakers.

So, I was intrigued when a multi-colored, hippie-fonted sign went up on Huebner advertising the Flour Power Cafe and Bakery.

It's one of those places that I've been meaning to try, but my life as a working mom of four has limited my free time.  Today, though, I was having some mommy time with Mary Teresa (4), and decided to take her to lunch.

I had intended to get there early, before the lunch rush.  I have learned the hard way that fellow diners don't always appreciate the antics of little ones, so this is the prime time for me to dine.  However, a layover at Bed, Bath, and Beyond got me there right at noon.  I braced myself for the lunch crowds.

They never showed up.

Flour Power Cafe, painted every color of the rainbow, was sadly lacking customers.

Only the third ones there, we chose a table by the window.  Mary Teresa was excited about ordering a pizza and playing tic-tac-toe.  I had fun looking at the extensive menu, and I can say truthfully that I have rarely had so much trouble deciding on my order.  There were so many choices, and they looked delicious.

Leaning towards the salmon burger (yum!), I switched last minute to the muffuletta, in tribute to my visits to New Orleans.  I also ordered a mango peach smoothie.

Much later, (I think they may have been growing the peaches and curing the salami), our lunch came out.  What they lacked in timing, they made up for in taste and in friendliness.

The bread of the muffuletta was intoxicating, and the smoothie was fresh and delicious.  The homemade potato salad had lovely chunks of hard-boiled eggs, and was not overpowered by mayonnaise, as many potato salads are.

Besides offering yummy lunches, Flour Power Cafe serves breakfast, does catering, and makes made-to-order cakes and desserts.  In addition, they host birthday parties where your budding chef can invite their friends, don an apron, and make pizza and cupcakes.

In my opinion, Flour Power Cafe has a few kinks to work out, but I recommend giving them a chance.  I plan to go back soon and try that salmon burger.  And, then again later, to work my way through the menu.

Note:  There are two coupons for Flour Power Cafe in the new addition of the Entertainment Book.  One coupon is good for $5 off of a $20 order, and another is for Buy One Get One Free entress.
