I absolutely love this place. I first came here for a Yelp event week, where I tried the Hood…read moreHealer and their vegan lentil soup. Both were incredible and I felt immensely better afterwards. I later returned on several occasions and tried their Moon Milk, which is a delicious mixture of turmeric, cardamom, coconut and ashwahganda, the Key to the Garden drink (coconut, nutmeg, cacao, cinnamon and maple), their vanilla chocolate chip cookies and regular chocolate chip cookies. You can get these drinks hot or iced. I had all of them iced! I also had one of the best iced matcha lattes ever from here with sweet coconut milk. WOW. From what I've seen, baked goods change daily and their drink menus change semi often as well, which is exciting!! Outside, there is some seating, lovely items and books for purchase and a window to order, as well as the menu items displayed on boards and items around the space. Inside is quite similar, but with more items for sale and more seating. The vibes are immaculate and this seems to be a space that's community centered and has an emphasis on carrying items made by local artists. Remember to bring cash to tip. I cannot wait until my next visit here!!

When they said secret Garden, I suppose so because I have a hard time finding this spot because it…read moredoesn't outright have any signage that says secret Garden or juice bar like it's supposed to or what you would think that it should so I just think that's kind of weird, but once you walk past the place several times. You realize it's cluttered with a bunch of knickknacks and other games and accessories that. Some of the items inside look like they're either for sale or just meant for display, which is fine, but I feel like it distracts from the main purpose, which is serving food and being a comfortable resting spot. It's no fault of the place, but the vibe is a mix of reggae, African folk music, and incense, and it contrasts sharply with the environment outside. There's an Italian restaurant across the street blasting Frank Sinatra type music, so the clash is noticeable. I feel like maybe the sound could be adjusted or balanced somehow. As part of the promotion, I ordered the vegan lentil soup. It was okay, nothing special but not bad. Then I was served an iced chai latte, and most of the spices sank to the bottom under the ice. After I swirled it, the spices still didn't have much flavor. It wasn't strong or pungent, and you couldn't really taste the spices or feel any of the digestive benefits chai is usually known for. It didn't taste like tea; it was just mildly sweet. I could see myself drinking it with a dessert, but it didn't stand out on its own. The service was friendly. I hope this place the best and want it to succeed but it needs to literally clean up.

Pretty overpriced for what it is, with some bizarre flavor choices on some of the menu items. The…read moreBLT is slathered with dijon mustard, and has red onion, and kinda just tasted like a mustard-and-onion sandwich, totally overpowering the B, L, and T. It's like they're trying to add more ingredients to menu items in order to try and justify the high prices, but at the cost of balancing flavors. Just a regular BLT that literally was a BLT woulda been fine. And if they really wanted to use the other ingredients, give the BLT a small side salad or something, rather than putting those extra unneeded ingredients on the sandwich and destroying the flavor profile of it specifically. Ambiance is okay. The look of the place inside provides an oasis of sorts for the block, which is nice. Tables are pretty wobbly--mine was, and so I checked the one next to mine, and it was too. Bathroom is a little wonky, with one of those sinks that are inexplicably full of rocks, such that when you're washing your hands, water coming down off your hands is immediately splashing back up at your hands when it hits the rocks. And there isn't much room for your hands between the rocks and the faucet itself. Staff is kinda weird. Sat at a table, then halfway through they told me they had to move the table I was at like 12 inches to the right to set up for an event. Fine, whatever. Then after moving, the guy puts a giant speaker on a stand right next to my head, and it's like, well obviously I'm not gonna want to sit with my head right next to a giant speaker. Just have me move to somewhere else entirely. Literally no one would want to sit in that spot--especially when 80% of the tables the other tables in the place are open and available. Overall, I don't think I'll be back, but who knows.

I used not to come here bc they didn't open until 9am, so Peck's was my go-to for good coffee in the morning. However, Peck's food is the exact opposite. Wildly overpriced. Everything, even down to the pastries, is 25-60% higher priced than you expect. So Calyer is a much better option if you want anything beyond coffee. Really good for the Pratt students. I tried lunch for the first time this week. Got a burger and fries. The burger was really quite tasty and under $10; it was well-prepared and had solid portions. The fries, however, are the worst in the neighborhood. I get what they are trying to do, but they are bland (cannot hold salt), not even remotely crisp, and at $7, they are honestly ridiculous. I hated that I got them. Just get frozen crinkle-cut fries and charge $2 less. You're hurting your brand by serving these, especially for $7. The staff are super friendly and are always helpful when ordering. Always have a smile, so going with four stars instead of three, even though those fries were a hard one star.

This place deserves at least 15 out of 5.

They're known for their beautiful acai bowls, but they also serve flatbreads, a tikki burger, tofu salads, smoothies, and matchas. The Kadamba Bowl was a happy mix of miso maple tofu (yum, great flavor combo with slightly sweet and savory!), tapioca chips that tasted great alone. Sweet potato, green peas and herb hummus, broccolini, avocado, and purple rice. Everything was delicious, and the colors and presentation were so pretty! Even the purple rice was seasoned; I didn't use the dipping sauce for anything since each element was so flavorful. There was also a pastry case with tempting choices like banana toffee cake, black sesame passion fruit tart, and I ended up trying the rhubarb pistachio tart. It had a ton of cooked down rhubarb atop a nutty layer of pistachio filling.l and tart crust. Nicely done and sweet but without being overly so! The vibe is a little more "hippie," than the average cafe, as the music sounded like chanting and some of the staff had face paint (maybe spiritual markings?), but everyone and the atmosphere was very pleasant and calming. You have to go on a little journey down the stairs and through another restaurant but they're clean. Overall, the food was great and it was nice eating food that made my eyes and heart (and hopefully my body) happy! If you're in the area, definitely check them out :D

The highlight for me was the Really Good Grilled Cheese. It absolutely lives up to the name. It was…read moreperfectly cheesy, and the pepper relish (and whatever else they add) made it super flavorful and delicious. I wasn't a fan of the chai, though. It reminded me of the chai at certain donut chains that has a BBQ sauce taste. I even went back to the counter to see if I could adjust it somehow, but ended up just drinking it as-is, hoping it would grow on me. I was disappointed. The space itself is airy, stylish, and has a great vibe. They also offer a solid menu with options for both vegetarians and meat eaters, which is a plus. Service was a bit slow, but since I was there during an event, I understand they may not have been fully prepared for a full house. That said, improving service during larger events would definitely elevate the experience. If I'm in the area again, I'd definitely come back for the grilled cheese but I'd try a different drink next time.
