Nice space with great coffee to meet with friends or do some reading. Day-old pastries and sandwiches are about half-price and an inexpensive way to have a delicious snack alongside your coffee. I love it here.

Friends invited me to try this small restaurant tucked away east of Boynton Beach City Hall with its own parking lot out front on the southside of Boynton Beach Boulevard . Run by two separate chefs the menus migrate between the chefs signature dishes. The day 's rain did not allow us to consider the outdoor tables under bright umbrellas. Indoors there are tables for 2 to 4 seats for 28 diners. Small and personal. The menu on a clipboard greeted us at our places. Short but interesting choices. Soup of the day was chicken with arugula and sausage -had to try that. There were three salads and five sandwiches. Vegans rejoice there were choices. I was attracted to the Shrimp with avocado and bacon on fresh croissant. That caught my eye over the chicken pesto in a baguette. Each came with a side. I chose the very tasty and surprising green beans and grape tomatoes with balsamic vinegar dressing. The others opted for their favorite of a cold chunky red potato salad with a creamy dressing I got a spoonful and liked it but the potato glycemic load distracted me back to my green beans! My croissant came stuffed with large shrimps lightly sauced with seasoning, avocado and bacon., The croissant was crunchy fresh and made a great lunch. I ate every green bean with its unique smoky and signature dressing. I also sampled the chicken pesto sandwich chosen on a croissant by the other diner. It was too large to open my mouth to bite , so a slice was handed across to enjoy. The blended ingredients were rich and original. I sought the fresh brewed ice tea which was dark and accompanied my lunch well. No desert was needed or ordered. As this café is offered by a non profit agency for care of elders in Boynton Beach the price carries some contribution to the works of Community Caring Center of Palm Beach. Our lunches cost less than $15 each with each at our table satisfied with the well presented food

Great little hidden gem. The menu is limited but I'd rather have fewer options of really good food than lots of options for just ok food.

The best vegan food in South Florida. Every Thursday early afternoon there is a vegan buffet that will knock your socks off. It's also the best deal I have ever seen at 7 dollars a pound for amazing flavorful dishes that change about every week. You have to check it out.

This RAW Vegan Lasagna was very tasty. The Chef was so inspired. The owner took care of my every need. Looking for RAW Vegan food then you found a spot. Not a high class place but the food compares. Aloha & Grace!

Amazing fresh and healthy food. If you're looking for a place that takes pride in their food and making their customers happy this is the place to go.

This is a very cute, hidden place. It is a coop kitchen so the menu is small. It is very unique, fresh and delicious. They sell local jams and sauces too. Go there. You won't be disappointed.
Small eating place for light meals. They have a deli counter for fresh items, a bakery counter with fresh baked goods and a coffee bar with a good variety. Service is casual and friendly.

Place smells really weird in a bad way. No parking was available, lot was full yet the cafe was empty. No employees were at any of the 3 counters. Had no idea which counter took orders. No menu's visibly available , no vegan buffet out as advertised. Stood around for 5 min and walked out. Will not be back.

I wanted to update my review to reflect my most recent experiences. I believe the Bean Scene at Secret Garden, the Culinary Incubator, is closed for the summer but when it resumes in the Fall I will be there on the Thursdays when they have it. The Vegan food is truly innovative and delicious at a very reasonable price! I have never left hungry but always with new ideas on what to prepare at home. I am not a vegan but two days weekly enjoy eating vegetarian. This is so nice to see such a progressive idea for food right here in Downtown Boynton Beach!!

Really great little lunch spot. They have rotating chefs through their culinary co-op style cafe. This destination also offers a vegan market on the 1st & 3rd Thursday of every month (during season).

I would give 0" stars If I could. Beware Groupon friends .....you will be treated terribly. Paying customers receive priority and get their orders first. Your order will be pushed aside. I placed an order for Holiday Dinner yesterday. Pick up time was 4PM. WAS TOLD THEY WERE CLOSING BY THAN. Not true. My elderly Mom and I rushed to make it by 4. When I called from car , owner told me "No Rush, potato Latkes will be a little late , no more than 15 minutes late" - we arrived to the owners Mom saying, "only 15 minute wait honest" AFTER 1 HOUR Waiting, husband came out of kitchen to give us a history about the place, offering us tasteless old hummus and very stale old crackers. Uuggh. We just wanted order to take to a family passover dinner that we were already over hour late for. Bottom line , 2 HOURS LATER we received order and never made it to dinner. My mom was exhausted and very upset over how we were treated. VERY BAD TASTE IN MY MOUTH GROUPON. MY HOLIDAY WAS RUINED. SECRET GARDEN IS NOT NICE. SHAME ON THEM STAY AWAY
