Enjoyed breakfast at Flora on a weekday morning as they opened. Very pleasant and attentive wait staff. Enjoyed French toast with blueberries and blackberries; berries were fresh and the strawberry compote delicious with the French toast. My friend enjoyed her eggs Benedict. The brewed coffee could be improved. Would come here again, most likely under similar circumstances since nearby parking can be a bear in this area.
