Description

If you're new to town, My Florist peddles the sort of soups, salads, and sammies that you could do better at home. So it's not really a place to go for the food. However, if you appreciate piano music, the restaurant has a very talented pianist, and the ambiance can be quite like a cafe in San Francisco, so it's perfect for a drink with friends. 'Tis a pity the food isn't better, though. Then My Florist really would be something special.

2004 | BEST BAKED OATMEAL

We confess that we dine at My Florist Caf almost more often than we do in our own home, in part because we find its version of comfort food so, well, comforting. And we're profoundly comforted every time we dip into a plate full of My Florist's tasty baked oatmeal. Who knew that rolled oats, brown sugar, and a pinch of nutmeg could make for such a flavorsome, almost dessert-like breakfast food Topped with sour apple slices and swaddled in a tart, creamy yogurt sauce, this is a morning meal...

2004 | BEST REASON TO LINGER AFTER DESSERT

You think you know "The Girl From Ipanema" until you've heard it played by Nicole Pesce, the resident pianist at My Florist Cafe. Ditto "Flight of the Bumblebee," which she's been known to pair with Elton John's "Rocket Man" or any of several Jelly Roll Morton numbers. Is it any wonder, then, that folks come from far and wide to listen to this amazingly talented lass play everything from Rachmaninoff to Billy Joel, in a signature style that's part Tchaikovsky, part Eurolounge, and always...

2003 | BEST DOWNTOWN LUNCH

Okay, we confess: We eat more than just lunch at My Florist Cafe. We have breakfast there every Friday, because we can't get enough of their yummy baked oatmeal. And you'll find us there several nights a week, digging into the superlative pear salad and grooving to the impossibly swell stylings of pianist Nicole. But most of the time we're there midday, elbow-to-elbow with folks who know that this is the chic place to break bread. Even if we're craving lunch at 11 p.m. we get what we came... More »

I'm at a sushi bar the other day, waiting for the chef to finish up some toro nigiri for me, when I decide to pay the raw-fish maestro a compliment. I praise the swank new restaurant he works in, and comment that the sushi has improved since it fi... More »

Bite Me's been blowin' in the wind since hittin' Phoenix from Lotusland. Cruising up and down Camelback, Central and Scottsdale Road, looking for hot restaurant spots -- the kind that will let her accost diners as they emerge from their repasts. (... More »

My Florist Cafe Man does not live by bread alone. He also needs some sugar. At least that seems to be the thinking behind the folks at My Florist Cafe, the new adjunct to downtown Phoenix's wildly popular Willo Bread store. Yet we're not talking ... More »

Chic and popular spot near downtown Phoenix. This place fills up quickly during lunch, so get there early or take a late lunch break. Loads of great salad options and the bruschetta is delish. I go for the cheese sandwich for lunch.
