    Hot Caramel Latte - so cute with glitter on top!
    Melody H.

    Such a cute and cozy cafe with a focus on nutritious foods and a few Brazilian dishes as well. It feels very local / family owned which I love. I got an avocado toast with avo, egg, and tomato which also came with sprouts on top which I love. Also got a caramel latte which came with sugar free syrup (which I often ask for but most places don't have). The owner was so sweet and gave me literally 7 small smoothie shots as I was doing some work on my laptop to try all the different smoothies! My favorite was the summer smoothie! Service is top notch. Great ambiance to spend a few hours catching up with friends or just doing some work. WiFi worked great. Definitely recommend stopping by and supporting this small business if you're in the area. It was the highlight of my day!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Spinach omelette and detox juice
    Jocelyne T.

    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!

    Lattes, macchiatos, pour overs. They have it!
    W. A.

    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/

    Avocado, Mushrooms and House Herbs Garden Breakfast Toast

    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
    Elizabeth D.

    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.

I can tell that the waffle is made to order because it was so soft and warm and fluffy! Perfect combo with the ice ream! The people working there were also very nice and friendly, it seems like only a few people work there. They are hiring! The place is situated inside worcester public market and its in the corner ish so the ambiance was a alright.

We got a few recommendations, ice and sugar adjustments, and a bespoke drink (mango and lychee which wasn't on the menu) -- super accomodating! **Decor & cleanliness, 5/5** Small storefront but located in Worcester Public Market which is really clean and well maintained. **Price & portion, 5/5** Large cup sizes (I'd estimate about 24 oz) and will do less/no ice! **Taste of the food, 4.5/5** - Dragon fruit milk tea, 5/5: Subtle dragon fruit flavor and super creamy! I was really impressed because I haven't seen a dragon fruit milk tea on any other menu, and they were able to capture the dragon fruit flavor even when dragon fruit itself hardly had any flavor usually. - Custom mango lychee tea with lychee jelly, 4/5: I got this 75% sweet and it was perfect. There was also a real mango piece and lychee inside! Great touch. The tea left a slightly weird aftertaste though, so I couldn't tell if the green tea was brewed too strongly to make it bitter or if maybe the coconut jelly they used had a chemical aftertaste.

    I've been to many poke places and this one is bar far the best. I was a little apprehensive when I…read morewas driving there as the neighborhood is really rough and sort of scary, but this place is very clean, offers high quality fish and food and does a great job of providing delicious poke options at a great price! I loved the taro tea and the poke bowl. The only thing I would say that was negative is they don't give enough raw fish in the two (2) scoops it comes with (they're tiny), so I was forced to pay for an extra scoop of raw fish to make it plentiful. Also, avocado shouldn't be an extra $1-$1.50 charge as it's supposed to be a core component of a poke bowl. Holy Poke should consider that it's competitors all offer a larger quantity of raw fish and avocado for free, which gives other a leg up on them. That said, the customer service was great, the place was very clean and nice looking and everything was fresh and incredibly delicious!!!

    Food: I've always order their poke bowls and it's been pretty solid, super filling, which this…read moretime, it was to the brim. Loads of different options and topping to customize your bowl. Sometimes, it can be inconsistent depending on who was packing up the order but I still enjoy it nonetheless. I do like their span misubi, its not too saly but I think the spam is like a little thin for the portion of rice. I have tried thier other appetizers like the gyoza, tsunami fries which are good when they're freshly made but perhaps a little dry at other times. Milk teas are okay, I think it's because it's powder flavor tea, its not my favorite. Service: Staff is friendly and quick on getting your order together. Ambiance: It's a much smaller place with perhaps 6 seatings? It's cute inside but I wouldn't hang out for too long. It's more like you go inside, grab your food and head out kind of place Location accommodation: Very limited parking on the street side, and it's in front of a interesting intersection.
