    Cold Brew

    Cold brew with whole milk was practically water. Couldn't taste the coffee at all. So bad we just threw it out. What a shame, beautiful place but not worth it.

    Cucumber refresher
    Reviewguru C.

    Great ambience and service. We went for a late night visit for a coffee. Ended up getting summer refresher drinks. We got English garden ( gin) and cucumber refresher. Had lobster rolls and fries to go. The vibe is cool, relaxing wirh a lot of green!

    Shrimp & Blue Crab Bucatini: green garlic butter, fresh scallions, and spicy Calabrian chili oil
    Josh S.

    I've been to Terrain a few times over the past several months. It took a few visits to figure out whether I liked the restaurant or not. This wasn't because of poor service or bad food, because those are both pretty good. This was really just due to the atmosphere. Don't get me wrong, it's a newer building and well-maintained (and clean). But gives me "Tea Room" vibes from the colors to the plants. With that said, I won't let this affect my review. Our last visit was on Saturday night. It was a strange night because on Sunday, we were set to be hit with snowstorm Fern. You could tell that people were bracing for what would come. To me, it was very reminiscent of just before the lockdowns for COVID-19 in 2020. Anyways, moving on from my memories of that! We sat at the bar, which is always my favorite seat in any restaurant, but we don't do much as normally we have our six-year old son with us. Not tonight! There were two (or maybe three) bartenders. It's a large bar, probably about 20 seats, and at 4:30 pm, they were all open but 2. We started with a few cocktails, an Espresso Martini for my wife and the Torched Orange Negroni for me. The drinks were good...the Negroni was too good and went down too quickly; time to switch to beer I guess. For appetizers, we ordered the Fried Cauliflower: crispy cauliflower tossed in pastrami spice, served with tangy mustard aioli; and the Artisanal Cheese Board: a curated selection of local cheeses, tangy pickles, fresh fruit, sweet preserves, crunchy crostini, and golden honey (and yes, we added the prosciutto for $4 more). The cauliflower was pretty good; it wasn't breaded, which I was happy about, and both the spice and aioli added good flavor and contrast. It wasn't that hot, but I didn't think anything of that (more on this later). The cheeseboard was larger than I expected. Several mixed berries, five different (large pieces) of cheese, the priscuotto, and some crackers. All good. The crackers were probably the highlight and the most disappointing item. They were very good, heavily flavored with rosemary and the perfect crunch and salt. But, they overpowered the delicate cheeses. My wife likes a cracker with some cheese, but in this case, we just ate them separately (still very good). For entrees, my wife ordered the Shrimp and Blue Crab Bucatini: green garlic butter, fresh scallions, and spicy Calabrian chili oil; and I ordered the Terrain Burger: 8 oz. grass-fed beef, Cabot Creamery white cheddar, sweet balsamic onion jam, brioche bun, simply dressed greens, with an egg (cooked to order over easy) and bacon. And since we were facing the snowpocalypse, I ordered the Truffle and Pecorino Fries for an upcharge instead of the normal salad that comes with it (more tea room vibes here?). My wife's plate looked very good, and I'm always happy to see when a pasta dish with seafood isn't ruined with a heavy red sauce. Instead, a light butter sauce complements the light flavors of the seafood. My wife took a bite and said, "Whoa, that's spicy," but the subsequent bites showed that perhaps she had the only Calabrian chili in the first bite, and it was not mixed through. She did mention to me that her food was just lukewarm (cauliflower flashback?). I briefly wrote this off because sometimes she likes her food far too hot (temperature)...but maybe she was right. I was first surprised when mine arrived. I was expecting fries doused with fake truffle oil and some grated pecorino on top. Instead, I saw fries that had a truffle cheese grated on them, not quite melted yet. It honestly tasted good and was a good change. But it wouldn't melt; my wife was correct with the food being lukewarm. My fries were cool, so the cheese never melted, and the burger seemed cool too. Now, that aside, the burger was cooked to a perfect medium and was seasoned well. It was good! All in all, it is a good restaurant. It's a little on the high end price-wise for what you get, but it is a good change. I will return and think about my Tea Room fears as I hopefully enjoy another meal at the bar.

    Terrain Café is such a charming and unique spot--part café, part garden boutique, and fully magical, especially with the holiday decorations. The ambiance feels like stepping into a cozy winter greenhouse with warm string lights, greenery, and rustic wooden decor. It's visually stunning and perfect for a relaxing brunch or a special occasion. I ordered coffee and a mixed dessert board, and everything was beautifully plated and well balanced--not overly sweet, with nice variety. The latte had smooth foam with a delicate finish, and the macarons, cookies, and mini pastries were fresh and delicious. Service was friendly and attentive without feeling rushed. The attached retail space is also worth browsing--lots of seasonal décor, lights, wreaths, and unique home items that feel thoughtfully curated. Overall, Terrain Café offers a memorable dining experience with great food and a magical greenhouse aesthetic. Definitely recommend for brunch, coffee dates, or anyone who loves beautifully designed spaces.

    Sea Salt Caramel Latte
    Nicholas P.

    Went here for brunch with my family. We made a reservation the day before and were able to get a spot. The building is really cool and the shop out back is worth the trip alone. Our server was very attentive and came over immediately and took our drink orders and explained a bit about the restaurant/menu. I got the salted caramel latte and a beer. The latte was delicious! The bread and butter that were brought to the table to start were very fresh and really good! For food, I ordered the eggs and short rib and the French fries with truffle cheddar. The server also brought the caper aioli as well to dip in and that was wonderful with the fries. My meal was very good. The egg was poached perfectly and the short rib was so tender it was falling apart. The potatoes were also deliciously seasoned. The fries were crispy and were devoured by the entire table. For dessert, we all split the boudino and chocolate terrarium. Both were really good and a nice end to our meal. Overall great experience in a beautiful building.

    Such a cute spot!!! The service was amazing, our server was so kind and attentive. The food was okay. We got the salmon toast, harvest bowl, and omelette. It was good for the one time experience since it was a little pricey, but overall it was decent! Not sure if I would come back, but I loved the interior and vibe.

    Gina F.

    The cafe has a very cute seasonal vibe. I would rate the food a 6 out of 10. I feel like I need to try other items on the menu to get a better idea. The flower pot bread was delicious, especially with the hibiscus or dragon fruit butter. However, the pot pie needed more chicken and flavor. Our server, Paris, was sweet and helpful throughout our visit.

    Olivia is an absolutely delightful soul! So wonderfully attentive to our table, and her recommendations were spot on splendid! I really enjoyed my mushroom soup !! And the omelette with the side salad was so delicious !!!! The atmosphere was so upbeat and it's just so delightful to be around all the beautiful colorful springtime, flowers, and plants in this wonderful terrain !! I look forward to coming back soon !!

    Rolled lasagna
    Bori K.

    The host and waiters are very nice. Food is absolutely amazing. They have a store you can look around and shop in in the restaurants. All their vegetables are grown by the university next door. I got the rolled lasagna. All though it was delicious they could have added more sauce to it. It was bare in the middle. And my salmon was undercooked. ​

    Recently had dinner here and it was one of the most unique, delicious meals I've had. The quinoa fritters are a must, the seared salmon was incredible, and the cocktails were next‑level. Top‑notch atmosphere and service.

    Came for a bridal shower. Stunning venue. The lobster roll were delish, though a little skimpy. The burgers were good, as was the quiche. Good, not great. Service was great though!

    Flower Pot Bread
    Janet S.

    LOVE THIS PLACE. The aesthetics and the vibes are always so beautiful, and they have the loveliest staff! I got their burger and matcha latte which always hits the spot, BUT this chocolate terrarium was a great surprise! The chocolatey goodness from the mousse and ganache were so smooth and delicious! The matcha crunch was a great added texture! The chocolate rock and microgreens were so cute and made the entire experience so memorable! Will be back for more!

There was Irish and Celtic music playing in the background the servers Linsey and. Madison were attentive and extremely personable. My friend and I picked out our two teas to share. Both were delicious. We had pistachio and Irish bread scones. We had a mouthwatering potato and cabbage soup. Our third course was a variety of delicious tea sandwiches, one of which was a corned beef cabbage sandwich. The corned beef was soaked in a tea. There was an egg salad sandwich, cucumber, and herbs, pretzel, and cheese. We learned this from the owner Patty, who is extremely passionate and committed to serving delicious food that complements the tease and the theme. Our desserts were a pistachio Bundt cake with a cream in the middle, a chocolate shamrock cookie and some kind of a mini yummy other dessert. I've been to this tea house many times and it never disappoints. Highly recommend five stars. Renee Atkins.

Driving by simply delicious many times on York Rd. I have been curious. Today was the day curiosity finally killed the cat literally and figuratively. When you don't hear anyone talking about an establishment locally, that should tell you something - when I asked others about simply delicious. No one had even heard of it. Come to find out it's been an existence for quite some time. What is basically a glorified coffee shop simply delicious yarns to be a posh café/bakery. In reality it leaves a lot to be desired. From the moment we walked into the unfriendly faces. The semi tableservice, (order at counter and they bring it to you) the overpriced food, and the coffee/tea served in paper cups. This is definitely not a sit down place. More of a grab and go type of joint. The hungry man sandwich was served on brioche "toast" that was dry crumbling, and not at all sufficient to handle the weight of the sandwich. The sandwich itself was assembled haphazardly and lacked any real cohesion in both flavor and texture. The platter special consisted of French toast bacon sausage patties (house made) and eggs your way. Mine were scrambled and were decent enough. The bacon seemed high quality but could have cooked a bit longer. The house made sausage patties were overcooked and tough with more spice than I would have desired. The French toast was well soaked in the egg mixture and more than enough for a serving. Probably ranking high on the list of French toast I've had. However, I don't believe it is a staple of the menu. It was a special of the day. I would only really recommend simply delicious when the yearning for a good scone comes around. Either that if looking for a quiet place to sit and chat with an old friend over a scone and coffee - there isn't much of a crowd so it would be the perfect place to catch up. As for me, and he, not likely to return. Far too many other options locally, that have better ambience, food, prices, and most importantly people who are happy to see you and make you feel welcome.
