    Americano
    Suzanne M.

    Wow! What can I say about the Life Garden Cafe? It currently has 5 stars with 15 reviews & it's well deserved! It's been on my list of places to go for a couple months now, and I finally had the chance to try it. I was aware this cafe was attached to a church from other Yelpers, so be aware when you're looking for it or you just might miss it! The atmosphere is charming, warm, and eclectic. I was there on a Sunday afternoon and they were playing relaxing jazz music that made me want to melt into my seat! All four employees that I encountered seemed genuinely caring. The happiness oozing from this place is contagious! Beyond the service and the atmosphere is the amazing food. I got Luciana's bowl with chicken. The ingredients were fresh, the food healthy. My Americano was amazing as well. I can't wait to go back and try my next dish!

    Miguel's Protein Pancakes Hot Green Macha
    Rosa A.

    From the moment I walked into this cozy, eclectic cafe, I felt welcomed and appreciated. As I entered, I felt a warm embrace from the emerald green sitting and yellow lighting and the owner behind the counter sparked a conversation, keeping me company as I waited for my order of the peanut butter and chocolate Miguel's protein pancakes and the hot green macha picked from the long menu with unique/healthy combinations. The familiar scent of the pancakes on the pan was truly exciting and when the lovely lady brought it out, I wasn't prepared for the huge portion sizes. Both the pancakes and mug were sufficiently enough. The macha was rich and had a subtle sweetness. I clarified that they don't use wheat for the protein pancakes which was perfect for me. It came with a side of syrup and a light caramel drizzle which only elevated the peanut butter flavor that was hidden in each piece. The only downside was that it had more peanut butter than chocolate. The location is also perfect because it was easily accessible by bus and it's a few steps up from the street, in a church compound with lots of parking. They mentioned that they were moving to a new street with a different name so I'm excited to visit a lot more!

    My moms Nutella croissant

    What a great find!!! I stopped in with my mom after an appointment in the city. Thankfully I used my gps otherwise I probably would have drove right past this place!! First of all it's located in a church, they had a few parking spots out front by the main entrance, but they were full and we had to drive around back to the main church parking lot. We made our way into the cafe and we entered the main part of the cafe. This first area is where you order and they have a bunch of tables there too. We grabbed a menu and made our selections, I ordered at the counter and paid for our order. The person at the counter informed us that they had another dining area in another room, I went off to investigate that area. The other area was a large church hall, decorated nicely and even had chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, and lots of tables including high tops and couches. I went back and got my mom to bring her to this quieter area. When our order was ready they brought it to us. My mom got a berry smoothie with a Nutella croissant and I ordered an iced mocha and a bagel toasted with cream cheese. My mom loved her smoothie and Nutella croissant and she ended up with Nutella all over her!!! She was a mess : ) My iced mocha was very good, but a little too sweet for my liking (the chocolate syrup on the bottom) and my bagel was good, but could have used more cream cheese (whipped cream cheese would have spread better too!) This place is really a special place, everyone who works here was so friendly and welcoming, service was excellent. I'll definitely come back to try some other things they offer!

    Amazing food, drinks and service! We ordered the strawberry salad, tuna experience, GARDEN TOASTS BREAKFAST LIFE FITNESS SANDWICH BREAD WITH OATS, CHICKEN, GREENS, TOMATO & AVOCADO. They were all incredibly delicious and the portion was very generous. Later on, I got the tres leches cake to take home. The front is nice , but the back is room is amazing. Beautiful furniture and great lighting. They are a must try!

    My family was looking for a quick but healthy lunch spot while passing through Worcester on a road trip, and we are SO glad we found Life Garden Café. Don't let the fact that it's part of a church dissuade you!! This little bistro has the best vibe...charming decor, *delicious* food, and the staff are sooo friendly and helpful! Tons of yummy gluten-free options, too. They LOVE edible glitter here; it was on most of the drinks and desserts, so if you have any princesses in your family, they will be VERY happy. :) But the menu has something for everyone. My son said the Steak Life Sandwich was "the best sandwich he's ever had." We all loved it.

    Lattes, macchiatos, pour overs. They have it!

    What a sweet place. I hope they are able to find the right niche of people to sustain them because they are beautiful, loving and genuine. Food was so very good. Everything was so fresh and perfect. Get the pancakes

    Just had a fantastic lunch at Life Garden Cafe at 1048 Main St. in Worcester. Really good vibe and SUPER nice folks. Jeff and his wife run it and Jeff sat down with us to make sure we liked our food and drinks. Everyone had a big smile on their face and you can tell they had pride and love in the food! I had the CUSCUZ W/ CHEESE & NUTELLA and the Pour Over Coffee Experience, as well as sampling the cheese bread, which were all amazing!! They also have a large room that can be used for events. Check them out! https://www.lifegardencafeworcester.com/

    Spinach omelette and detox juice

    Monday blues do not exist if you have a chance to stop by @lifegardencafe Had their life detox natural juice (delicious), spinach omelette and cheese bread as an app!! Life garden is family owned and they are all so nice and attentive. Definitely a must try. A beautiful place to start off the week right!

    When you first walk in you are greeted right away by the friendly and lovely staff. They made sure our experience was a memorable time. The place is well lit up and plenty of sun shine through the windows. The decorations are very cute and unique. The food and drinks were very flavorful and given a good amount as well. Really liked how my iced caramel latte was in a mason jar. I would definitely come here again with family and friends as a hangout.

    Yummy iced coffee

    Free safe parking behind the building. Clean and spacious restaurant. Ordered at the counter, and an employee brought food and drinks to a table in a beautifully decorated dining room. I believe the dining room used to be a church. The food was small portions for the price but super delicious! I would definitely come here again as a treat.

    Love this place! We go almost every weekend! Highly recommend! The food is great, the customer service is super attentive and friendly, and the decor is beautiful.

My fiancé and I had been having a lot of trouble finding a venue that could host our crowd at a reasonable price, so we were beyond thrilled when Birchtree not only accommodated our 60 guests beautifully, but we actually ended up under budget. From start to finish, the service was phenomenal. The team was genuinely invested in making sure our night was perfect. They went above and beyond in every way and more than accommodated anything we needed. We had an outpouring of texts the next day from our guests. So many people let us know how beautiful the venue was and how wonderful of a time they had. The space itself truly showed a refined elegance which was the perfect kickoff to our wedding season. If you're thinking about working with BirchTree, Jayne, Caitlin, and the entire staff we're incredibly organized and attentive to detail, helping us set up, pack up, and even ensured all guests had clean tables, fresh drinks, and the bar staff recommended really unique cocktails & mocktails! We are so grateful to the entire BirchTree team, especially Jayne and Caitlin for helping us set the tone for our wedding. We would absolutely recommend having an event here - you will be in the best hands!

There is also a kiosk you can use if you don't have the app. The roads in this area can be a bit challenging to navigate. If it's a nice day, just walk over. The interior is very high energy. I love the metal musician sculptures. The huge diorama by one of the entrances shows this spot in Worcester when the canal was the main source of traffic for goods. This is after all The Canal District. Today the canal is under the street just outside that door. Times they do change things. I very much appreciate these types of eating venues. Where everyone can get what they want. Sushi, Cuban, Burgers, Italian ice, Boba, Cookies. Options. For shopping you'll find a wine merchant, The Market Pantry sells loose teas, oils, spices and kitchen goods and an Irish goods store, Erin gift shop, sells beautiful Aran Island sweaters, Muckross brand hats and purses along with other Irish inspired items. A few high tops are located along one wall in a hallway toward the back. We found one larger table in a small alcove nearby the high-tops and then there is an open area at the front that hold about twenty tables or so. A microbrewery is attached to the market too. All the vendors we spoke with were very friendly. Definitely could have walked away with so much food and loose teas and gifts. Check out their social media pages for special events and spot lights on businesses.
