Delicious Anti-Inflammatory juice! Was craving something with pineapple, ginger, and kale, a zing of health on a 20-degree winter day. It was so good and foamy. Adorable, whimsical spot. Will come back to try their soups. 5 stars!! read more

Food service and ambiance are a ten out of ten. This is the best gluten free vegan restaurant I have ever eaten at and the food was amazing. I had a shittaki ginger mushroom soup and a vegan smash burger with sweet potato fries all made fresh with all organic and locally sourced ingredients. My party had a gluten free Mac and cheese and a house burrito which tasted like heaven . If you're going to the Danbury area and want a phenomenal natural gluten free place to eat here it is ! read more

A cozy, charming café with creative, ever-changing dishes. It's run by a true magician who puts her heart into everything and goes above and beyond to make guests feel welcome. It's always busy-which says it all. Highly recommend! ))) read more

Coffee and Matcha very good. Carrot mini muffin no flavor. Loved the idea of all the plants too bad they haven't been watered since they opened. Sat by the front window and when I got up my head hit the dried up fern. Dead leaves ended up in my tea. Please, please take care of your plants. It looks terrible. read more

This place looks good but sadly disappoints on all levels. I ordered the harvest bowl, which was so organic it came with a worm in it. These things can happen, but after letting the counter person know the chef needs to wash the salad better, the chef came out to stare at me and then sent the counter girl over to apologize on her behalf. No offer to remove it or replace it. My nephew ordered the pasta and it was lukewarm. My matcha latte was mediocre. I really wanted to love this place but nothing was right about it. It lacked personality from the service to the food. read more

I was in town, completely unfamiliar with this place and found this café. I love really healthy food and from the menu in the place. It looked like it was going to be healthy. Them huge menu so I had trouble ordering, deciding what to get. And I don't remember what I got. I got a bowl with beans vegetables. Maybe it's the Buddha bowl? Oh my gosh, it's so delicious. It was $20 which I wouldn't normally pay, but it's totally worth it. I'm eating it right now. I'm enjoying it so much so delicious. read more

Great food! Lots of options for great taster options for vegans! My husband who was in a raw diet even had a few good options. Service was very good. Inside is a little tight so it wouldn't be good for large groups. Ambiance is really nice in a really nice on a street with other local businesses that you should check out near by. read more

Super cute and charming spot. I ordered the Country Breakfast (~$19), which was delicious, filling and healthy. The scrambled "eggs" were savory and addictive, cooked with spinach (I think) and diced red pepper and onion. Hunks of sweet potato were luscious and a perfect complement to the scramble. The seed bread was great, too, and I appreciated the fresh elements (cherry tomato, avocado, greens). Only complaint was that the Beyond sausage was overcooked, but that's a very easy fix. Will be back! read more

Botanika Cafe - Country Breakfast - Vegan Near Me - Ridgefield, Connecticut

Loved the decor of the cafe. Very woodland like and loved the Peter rabbit pillows and fairy house accents. It was our first time at restaurant over the weekend. Everything was delicious. You can tell they put a lot of care into their food! read more

Good vegan GF pizza, great vegan GF burger apart from the Gf bun (the bun was super super hard and dry and not good - something they can easily change) FYI: Dee's One Smart Cookie Vegan GF buns are amazing and can be purchased wholesale and kept frozen and are soft, fluffy chewy and so good on burgers The sweets which I thought was the main attraction were honestly so so - I've had amazing GF Vegan desserts and theses were okay, but not exceptional. Juice and smoothies were delicious. My favorite part was the AMBIENCE! This is the cutest, most magically decorated cafe I've been to outside of NY and LA. Magical fairy forest feel. Just to sit and have coffee there lights up the soul. Beautiful beautiful place in a cute center of town. Loved it. read more

I come here when I'm having a Ridgefield "main street" day and need some lunch. It's a lifesaver for gluten free and/or vegan people - mostly everything else on Main Street is pizza, burgers, etc. i like the chicken ceasar wrap here but need to try more things. The pulled mushrooms are really good. It is a little expensive but the portions are always huge and you are putting healthy organic ingredients into your body. Rent is also crazy in this area so I understand. The owner seems sweet and always serves the food directly to the customers and asks how they like it. I hope this place sticks around because it's where I'll always go for lunch if I'm in town! read more

I came for the GF cinnamon roll. I arrived at 10:30 am. The rolls weren't ready. I waited an hour. They said they would be ready in twenty minutes. I left to do some shopping and returned an hour later they still weren't ready. In the meantime I had purchased an orange cranberry muffin to take home. This was clearly stale. It was sandy and dry even melted butter didn't help it. Six dollars and ninety five cents for stale baked goods is a crime. Shame on you! On the plus side my friend's avo toast was good. The ambiance is cute. I came home and had a GF Trader Joe's moist muffin of superior quality! read more

Very promising. Diverse, creative menu reasonably priced. Vegetable dosa made w lentil crepe was light but with a disappointing filling: just a small salad w a few sautéed vegetables. Needs more spice. Buckwheat pancakes were beautifully presented w fresh fruit and toppings. Prepared foods case sadly empty for to-go buyers. Drinks too. Supply chain ? Colorful, bright interior with speedy, friendly service. Not open for dinner but great for brunch. Limited outdoor seating but plenty inside. read more

Delicious and so healthy! It's hard to find healthy food while traveling and this fit the bill. I will come back next time I'm in town. I recommend the Popeye smoothie and quinoa breakfast bowl. Relaxing music and organic fern bar ambience. Friendly service. read more

As a long-time Vegan, I'm always excited to find a plant-based establishment. Upon walking in, you are immediately greeted with a smile from either the owner or her associates. The decor is pleasant and relaxing with ample seating. The food is amazing! It's all freshly made, served as a beautiful presentation with generous portions. I highly recommend the pancakes!! It can get a little crowded, but patience is a virtue and well worth the wait. Did I also mention, that dogs are welcome!!! read more

Food was good, but not correct. Avocado toast arrived without pesto that had been ordered and without tomato...we would have notified someone except that 2 drinks in a row were incorrect and had already been returned and by that point we just cut our losses. read more

This was such a cute little cafe! They had so many gluten free and vegan options and everything I tried was really delicious. The atmosphere was also really neat and I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for wide variety of healthy, delicious food and drinks! read more

Botanika Cafe - Gluten Free Dessert Case - Vegan Near Me - Ridgefield, Connecticut

We stopped here on the way back from NY (to RI). Everything we had we loved! And that says a lot from people who can be picky about their vegan food. We had a Cesar wrap, a burger and a pulled mushroom sandwich with kimchi. All were excellent and satisfying. So happy to find that everything was gluten free. Really a dream for anyone gluten free or just anybody who likes good food! Definitely recommend and hope it stays open for a long time so I can visit on all my trips to and from NY. read more

Today was our first time at Botanika Cafe and it was AMAZING. We got the Buffalo cauliflower wrap, butternut Mac and cheese, "tuna" melt sandwich, peanut butter chocolate cookie, and a chocolate-ish cake (last two not pictured). Everything was equally delicious, fresh, and clearly made with lots of care. The tables were also so beautifully decorated for Fall. We are so glad to have stopped here after a long hike and will certainly be back! read more

Great menu- everything sounded delicious and a treat to find a fully vegan lunch spot! My husband and I shared the fiesta bowl- great combination of flavors with the smoked tempeh, guacamole and fresh lime. We also got the pad Thai bowl which my husband loved but I found a little too saucy. It's definitely $$$ but we will be back to try the burgers and falafel wrap! read more

I was going to be in southwest Connecticut for the day, so I looked up 'vegan' and 'gluten-free'. I was so happy to see that Botanika Cafe had just opened up and decided to drive up to Ridgefield to give it a try. Ordering was a tough decision because so much on the menu sounded mouthwatering. We went with the veggie dosa wrap, buddha bowl, and a few pastries (iced lemon loaf, raspberry muffin, and a cookie that I can't quite remember the name of - something usual like tahini sesame almond maybe). The entrees were so fresh and delicious and flavorful. I loved the homemade gluten-free wrap on the dosa. The sauce drizzled over the buddha bowl was amazing. The pastries were moist and delicious, including the unique cookie. All of the food was obviously made with care and attention. Friendly staff. Relaxed vibe. Order at the counter. The chef hand delivered the entrees to our table. I'm bummed I don't live closer because I want to go back and try so much more on the menu and also to support this new business. It's not often you can say delicious, lots of variety, affordable, vegan, gluten-free all in the same sentence when referring to a place to eat out. But you don't have to be vegan or gluten-free to enjoy a meal or treat here. You just need to appreciate fresh, healthy food made with care. read more

Deeeeeeelish! Everything from the coffee to the country breakfast to the mushroom sandwich! Highly recommended!

I love this place. Their smoothies are thick and delicious and their food is incredibly flavorful, fresh, and creative. I feel nourished and full after I eat at Botanika. I only wish I could have every meal from here. Highly recommend! read more

Super disappointed. Ordered buffalo cauliflower wrap. Came out less than warm and the cauliflower was in broken little pieces. Cashew man n cheese- terrible. No flavor. Was penne pasta with a limited amount of "cheese" sauce on it. Total waste of $30 dollars. Wish the old vegan place was still there. read more

A GEM with the coziest jungalow vibe amazing food and treats! Organic, gluten free, vegan AND delicious My faves: Mushroom Stroganoff with brown rice , the pad Thai , tofu scramble wrap and the carrot ginger soup is DIVINE For dessert I love ALL the cheesecakes I've tried - and the PB choc chip cookie Also: it's dog friendly and the owner is so friendly! read more

Hard working servers. Excellent quality of food. It took a long time to get our food but not because people weren't working hard!

You have to try this new place! This is the way all restaurants should be. Organic, Gluten-Free, Vegan and delicious! I had the Buddha Bowl. Veggies roasted perfectly with an amazing Spicy Thai dressing. My friend had the quiche. Delicate almond flour crust melts in your mouth. Outstanding! We were both pretty full but each tried a dessert. I'm glad we did! It was the best part of the meal. The donuts were un-believable! So delicious and healthy! Banana bread is to live for! Definitely returning! Definitely my new favorite restaurant! read more

I stopped in for lunch the other day. This place was decorated for Christmas and so sweet inside. I had the Buffalo cauliflower wrap, which was delicious. The woman working, however, was really unpleasant and I felt pretty unwelcome. If I go back, I hope someone else is there. read more

Such a lovely spot! Husband and I strolled through for an early dinner. He got the tempeh reuben and I got the tuna wrap. Would have posted pictures but we ate them so fast. Really friendly and attentive staff. Looking forward to visiting again! read more

What a great find. Best vegan food I've ever had. Went for breakfast had the power oatmeal. Loved it so much I went back for lunch. The owners and workers were fantastic and the place is charming. Highly recommend. read more

I used to love the place when it was Organika but this place is absolutely awful! I called directly since I have a severe banana allergy and I wanted a smoothie that did not have banana in it. The young girl could not seem to understand what I was saying and told me to just order from the "order online menu" because those were the only items they had. So I ordered the daal, the butternut squash mac and cheese and the mermaid mojito smoothie (since this was the only smoothie listed without banana). I received a text saying I was refunded for an item so I called them to see what was cancelled and why...was told it was the daal because they don't have it during the summer. Ok fine (not sure why it is on the menu I was told to order from then). I open the "butternut squash mac and cheese" but there is no butternut squash in it...so I called them... The girl was confused and told me that it is pasta, cashew cream and cashew cheese. I needed to explain to her that it was missing butternut squash and she would respond "there is no butternut squash in it". I asked her to please look at her online menu she told me to order from...BUTTERNUT SQUASH mac and cheese is listed with a picture of butternut squash on top of pasta. I offered to drive it back to her but she said she would refund the cost of the item...she never did and the plain mac and cheese is completely bland with old falling apart pasta (completely not edible). To top things off I saved the smoothie for this morning and despite no banana being listed in the ingredients it had banana in it! I immediately had to take benadryl to attempt to spare a trip to the hospital. My day is shot and I am getting sleepy from the benadryl but felt compelled to write this first in order to help spare others from going through the same experience! read more
