​PLANTED CAFE — Restaurant in New York

I’m really not one to leave negative reviews but I’m disappointed in the coffee & customer service at this establishment. I ordered a mushroom latte with oat milk and for 7$ you’d expect it to taste at least okay.. that’s not the case at all.. it was very unpleasant.. and I personally love mushroom lattes (chagachino’s from other coffee shops) .. so I politely told the male barista I was not a fan of the drink and asked if he had any other suggestions, he made me a lavender latte.. great. So I left the mushroom late at the counter and sat down for a moment as he made the drink. The female barista rudely calls me over and asks if I’m going to pay for this lavender latte.. I went over to the counter and explained that I was unhappy with the first drink. She responds “we’re a small business and can’t just give out drinks for free” and offers me a discount. Wow how nice of her, now the 7+$ lavender latte is only 5$.. I took a sip and it was also gross.. they added so much agave it was unbearable, now I am left with two drinks that will go to waste.. long story short the customer service is subpar.. The jackfruit tacos were alright.. Save your money & take your business...

I wandered in here after having my first float therapy session, as my body and mind were craving wholesome food from the earth. I feel I was actually drawn to visit here by the universe 😅 - first of all, the food was amazing. I ordered the red quinoa bowl and while I was eating it I tried to savor the flavors, so that I could hopefully reproduce something similar in my own kitchen at home. Absolutely delicious, I was truly impressed. The ambiance inside is very calming, eating while absolutely surrounded by plants really puts you in a beautiful headspace. The lovely human running the front was playing an incredible soundtrack to suit the mood, and the rose matcha latte was exactly right - not too sweet, not too bitter, not too flavored. While waiting for my food to come, I perused around the plants and beautiful crystals and CBD products that they had scattered about the store. ✨ Definitely tempting! I also got to meet the chef, which was just a sweet moment to meet who has made your beautiful meal. 💫 I will certainly return to try more menu items and also just for the vibe...

I'm a bit disappointed. First at the prices, $16 for a veggie burger is a bit much but okay.

I decided to get the $10 cashew cheese egg sandwich with seasonal veggies. I added $1 kale. I expected like sandwich vegetables, it was really hard carrots and pumpkin seed? Lol the person working the counter was extremely accommodating, I didn't want to complain but I did not see any egg. I saw like a tiny line of hollandaise sauce looking stuff and kale and carrot. I had no idea that was the "cashew eggs". Be careful ordering because it is a very very small sandwich. It's not very filling. Didn't have much flavor, just kind of tasted like bread and kale.

The inside of the Cafe has a very strange and overpowering smell.

The staff was extremely nice and made me a little extra egg, didn't see it on there but why would they lie I guess? Lol

I really wish I read the reviews first. I also did a Google/twitter search and found out the owner illegally evicted his tenants during a pandemic. That's absolutely despicable. No wonder the food isn't made with...
