Walking into The Plantry Café feels like stepping into a fairytale--think Alice in Wonderland meets clean eating. There's a blooming faux tree in the middle of the dining room, cozy nooks, and whimsical details that make you want to sip tea in a crown. I had the acorn + butternut squash soup, seasonal salad with tea vinaigrette, and a caramel black tea--each bite felt like a warm hug from a forest fairy. The owner is truly passionate about nourishing our community with clean, intentional food, and it shows. Bonus? They host monthly tea parties, full-tiered and fit for royalty. Don't miss those--RSVP early! read more

This place belongs in Dubai or vegas or something it's SO NICE. Food was spectacular. Service was great. I've been to probably 500 vegan restaurants and this place has to be top five. Very impressive. Wish I was in town longer I would have tried every item. read more

Went Friday night and food was excellent. Place was very clean and service was awesome. Even had some time to talk to owner who, is a doctor and was well informed of vegan life style. A hidden gem that compares to other upscale vegan restaurants like crossroads in California. read more

The food and vibes are immaculate here. I have been to the once monthly High Tea twice now and it is AMAZING. We are not a vegan or even vegetarian family and I want to assure people that the food was superb. Wish I could order those tea sandwiches during the regular lunch menu they are so crave worthy read more

Food is right if you're into this type of food. Real food. Service was awesome the decor was amazing. Worth the experience.

Finally tried the Plantry Cafe! Beautiful restaurant. Worth going just for that alone. Very cozy! We were greeted and sat immediately. The waiters were very knowledgeable of the menu. Standouts mushroom scallops! I wish this was a main course. The beet salad is also very good. Also recommend the roasted maitake. Curious to try other dishes as well so I'll have to return. The owner of the restaurant was kind and greeted all patrons. And of course get the TEA!! read more

Such a well thought interior and menu- I love the seasonal rotations and truly delicious way to eat healthy. They also do a monthly high tea which is so much fun! Definitely a one of a kind place in Baton Rouge. The vegan cheesecakes, buffalo cauliflower burger, and tofu banh mi are my favorites. read more

Where do I start. I came here on Valentine's Day for a birthday party. We started ordering at 6:41pm. It was Valentines so the entire restaurant could only order a three or six course meal of the same thing. We received our first course at 7:41pm our second course at 8:50pm and the dessert at 10:17pm. This place closes at 10pm!!! I have pictures to prove all of this. Our waiters started ignoring us after the first course. We received horrible service while everyone else was served their food and left accordingly. And I have never faced such racism in Baton Rouge and I have lived here my entire life. We spent over $900 and was charged for "changing seats" when we had the same number of people when we sat down at 6:41pm. The manager or owner of this establishment was unaccountable and said rude remarks without helping us. She said and I quote "Come on Valentines Day if you want any entertainment", rolled her eyes, mumbled under her breath and everything! Instead of helping us they, she told the staff to clean up and left us with the bill. She treated us like the bottom of her shoe while no other group got this treatment. She didn't even want to discuss the extra charges on our ticket. We planned on paying for our food regardless of taste because this was our friends birthday but they lied about the dessert and said it would be right out around 9:30pm and we didn't receive it until 10:40pm. The cake we received was not listed on their website and it was not what everyone else had at the restaurant. The manger did not tell us until we received the pie and saw it was not what we were supposed to receive. The manger even had an older male serve us the left over pie instead of serving it herself or had our original waiter serve it to us. Mine you the cheesecake we saw everyone else have was what was listed and what we were looking forward to but didn't get. They waiting until 10pm to say they ran out of the dessert. I just feel as though we were completely disrespected because (and I hate to say this) we were young black adults. I do not recommend this PLACE to anyone!!! Black or White. It was a horrible experience and the manger had no heart and did not care to address her own faults and the faults of her restaurant. read more

We were so excited about the restaurant especially since two of us are plant based. We had reservations; the only table the entire time; very slow; had to ask for our drinks and food; food was cold; expensive; then they added a gratuity and fees on our bill. Expensive. I do not recommend and will not go back. read more

Very elegantly decorated restaurant, friendly attentive servers, delicious food and wine. The menu changes regularly, but if you can, try the Polenta Maitake and the Jackfruit Sliders! The owner even came by to suggest the wine that would pair best with the polenta dish. Perfect! Don't let the fact it is plant-based fool you. This food is so amazing, even my omnivore boyfriend wants to make it a regular date night. read more

All I can say is WOW. Ive recently been diving into the vegan realm, and have been wanting to try out this spot for several months. Finally got the chance to make it happen. This place is absolutely gorgeous, immaculately designed with a beautiful bar and gorgeous furnishings. The bar menu looked exquisite, I will definitely be returning to try more cocktails. We had the brussels sprouts appetizer as well as the cauliflower poppers. Both fantastic! Cauliflower is on the spicy side in a delicious buffalo type sauce. I had a large bowl of soup and a salad for my entrée, both were divine. The salad had so much great stuff on it including some absolutely delicious vegan cheese. One of the best salads I've ever had. We also had one of the Mitaki mushroom, and this thing tasted just like a juicy portobello. Similar to steak consistency, hearty and filling. Perfectly prepared. The owner/chef came out to chat with us at the end of dinner, and she absolutely has done an amazing job with this spot. Was hoping to go to the tasting party this evening, but I could not make it. Cannot wait to go back and try more things on the menu! read more

I have a new addiction... this place. It's so chic, eclectic, and the ambiance is spectacular. I picked up a to-go order, and let me tell you, this was the most exquisite to-go order I've ever gotten. It was packaged so nicely without extra wasteful packaging. Loved the menu and bag it came it. The food presentation itself was impressive. My server was very quick to help bring me my to go order. She was very pleasant along with the other staff. There is nothing like this restaurant ambiance in Baton Rouge. Seems like something you would stumble across in NYC or Dallas. I practice vegan eating during the week and incorporate meat on the weekends. The BBQ Jackfruit tastes just like the real thing!!!!! The pretzel bun was so fresh and tender. Loved the Brussel sprouts with aioli sauce. If you're not vegan that's okay, because you will love the flavors and options. I felt so satisfied after eating and it's good knowing I can stay on my vegan diet during the week, which has been shown to have a variety of health benefits. Looking forward to my next visit which will be for dinner. I definitely recommend this place to everyone I know. read more

A whimsical one-of-a-kind dining experience is the way I would describe The Plantry Cafe. I was at the cafe for an event and I loved everything about the cafe. I love nature and trees, so to be welcomed by a tree felt dominant, yet welcoming. It was exciting! The ambiance was attractive, sophisticated,and bold. The food and drinks were delicious, and the quality of the ingredients was apparent. Dr. Crifassi's passion for high-quality and healthy food options was apparent. Her expertise and dedication were admirable. I was impacted most by the story behind the restaurant. As a caring doctor who believes in holistic medicine, she decided to give people somewhere to get healthy options instead of just telling them what to do. I'm thankful for this option, as it is a minority in Baton Rouge. It is truly a healthy experience that makes you happy! I look forward to visiting again to engage with full-s! read more

I've been wanting to try out the Plantry as I have gone flexitarian this year. First, there's no other restaurant that matches the attention to detail that was put into decorating and outfitting this cafe. Everything was stunning! The dishes were creative and varied. My only request would be slightly larger portions (barely anything in the sliders) and veggie sides could be larger for the price. I spent $30 on lunch and just had sparkling water and the slider sampler. read more

First time guest here and was really looking forward to trying their Valentine's day 3 course . We were promptly sat and were able to enjoy the water that was at our table . Our server never came to our table and after 30 minutes of waiting I notified the hostess that no one has came to check on us . Finally a server came by and literally just said how may I help you ? I let the server know immediately that we have been sitting there for 30 minutes and that I would love to just have a cup of tea and be served the 3 courses . The server told me that she didn't know what teas they offered and that she would send someone over to tell us about the teas . 10 more minutes passed by and she came back and said again she didn't know what teas they had available . So in 40 minutes of waiting , no food , no tea , no manager , no anything . We just left . Beautiful decor , but terrible service . As a new vegan , I left feeling completely disregarded and hungry ! read more

I visited the Plantry Cafe twice for lunch in the past week, each time with a different friend. The owner, Dr. Katie Crifasi, welcomed us both times and chatted with us about the food. The restaurant decor is very elegant and the food was extremely well prepared and innovative. Their plant-based menu is not your basic steamed veggies. Menu items we tried were the beet burger, mushroom soup, and sweet potato soup. Since we were splitting the beet burger entree, our server made us each a beet slider. The burger appeared to be made of grilled shredded beets on a pretzel bun with cole slaw. Very tasty! Both of the soups were delicious. They were creamy, with interesting texture and flavors. The mushroom soup was packed with mushrooms. The sweet potato soup was seasoned with maple syrup, cardamom, and topped with candied pecans. On our first visit, I was discussing a very good non-alcoholic sparking rose that I had recently tried. The owner brought out a bottle of red wine from the same German vintner and asked if we wanted to sample it. All three of us agreed it was not that good. So Dr. Crifasi took it behind the bar and came back a few minutes later with glasses of a sangria-like drink she had concocted with the wine. It was delicious, and she did not charge us for it. Our servers were attentive and helpful. The restaurant also offers Sunday brunch and high tea. There are two separate areas where groups can be seated for business or social occasions. Note that the Cafe adds a 20 percent gratuity to all checks, regardless of the number of people or the amount of the check. read more
