By Dolores Quintana

A popular health-conscious restaurant has shut down its Downtown Santa Monica location. 

Flower Child restaurant in Santa Monica at 1332 2nd Street has closed after 7 years as reported by Toddrickallen.com. The restaurant closed officially, according to the Yelp page, about three weeks ago. 

The restaurant’s website states its mission as being “we make every last bite from scratch, using fresh ingredients from close to home and serving healthy food that takes you to a happy place.” The chain is owned by Fox Restaurant Concepts and still has Southern California locations in Del Mar and Newport Beach. 

As of now, exactly which restaurant may replace Flower Child in the space and when that might happen is not yet known.
