For those who are too hippie/indie/granola for (the ever-multiplying) Life Alive. It's organic, which I appreciate, yet seems slightly underwhelming even when I'm in the mood for a grain bowl. To me, something tastes a bit off about every meal, almost as if it's all lightly cooked in Yerba Mate. Nonetheless, Organic Garden still has stellar service and a very very earthy-crunchy ambience. Food takes a while.

This is a gem of a vegan "earthy" restaurant one would expect to find in a "University" or college town location like Amherst or Orono. It has this type of great "energy" to it. It is healthy & delish eats, no matter wat anyone's dietary preferences are, having said that, the vegans and veggies amongst us, will be in 7th heaven. The menu is eclectic and offers very Great fare (too much to list, just glance over their online menu). Personally adhering to preferably fermented foods for my own gut health at my age, was pleasantly surprised at their Buffalo wrap featuring Tempe, it was absolutely delish and I'm going bak to order this plus try a lot more of their varied menu.. tip: if U're really hungry, order 2 of your selection, U will enjoy it , tht much!!Vegetarian options: Vegan options abound! This is a truly delish vegan fare eatery!Dietary restrictions: Tell them, they'll accomodate!!Parking: Side parking lot on the side of this eatery, it's free.
Vegetarian options: The menu is entirely vegan vs vegetarianDietary restrictions: I'm both gluten-free and lactose intolerant, so this all vegan Cafe is awesome. Not all dishes are gluten-free, but they have options & work with you to make it soParking: Parking isn't convenient. If there isn't a spot out front, you may have to park & walk a block or 2 to the restaurantKid-friendliness: Kids seem to enjoy their mealsWheelchair accessibility: I think you can get a wheelchair through the front door

This place is a celebrated neighborhood institution that I hope will never leave us. Their beautiful organic food and staff is always a delight, their hearty dinner bowls for $12.50 are the best bargain in the North Shore for a healthy meal any day of the week. Their personal pizzas and raw pie desserts are delicious, no matter how you slice it. See what I did there ~ ? ^__^

It's our go to for a healthy organic vegan lunches. The food is made to order and with lots of options for everyone's palate. Great selection of desserts which go home for later. Staff are nice and the place is casual. Plenty of parking.

Quesadilla was soggy and cheese not melted at all.

The atmosphere is welcoming and cozy, with friendly staff who are knowledgeable about the menu and happy to make recommendations.The restaurant sources its ingredients locally and uses organic produce whenever possible, ensuring the food is fresh and of the highest quality.The menu features a range of creative and flavorful dishes, from hearty salads and sandwiches to savory entrees and decadent desserts.The restaurant also offers a selection of fresh juices, smoothies, and other beverages that are both refreshing and nutritious.My favorite thing to get is their raw brownies, green monkey juice, pizza, pad Thai, and sandwiches! 5/5 for sure! Please support this place! I hate to see a great place like this closedown.

Superbly tasty cashew-based hot drinks: I loved the tai-chi chai. It's not too sweet either, nicely balanced. The order was brought to table, which is a pleasant exception to most coffee shops. Finally, the plants and decor made it a step up from most places. I'll be back.
HUGE and yummy menu! All plant-based, very gf-friendly, and delicious lattes. Definitely check it out for jackfruit tacos, buffalo ma & cheese, etc!

I don't want to hear any slander regarding Organic Garden (Cafe). For those of us hippy dippy folk, Beverly is lacking in crunchy cuisine, and OGC fills a void. Sure, Life Alive has the ambiance and collectively cool patronage, but who wants to trek into Salem ? Finding a hamburger in Beverly is no problem. But finding tempeh ? Organic Garden is our only bet. Just cross your fingers that you can get yourself a table at their pocket-sized establishment.

Stopped by to grab a cup of coffee this weekend but had to walk out after no one even bothered taking my order even though I was standing there for at least 5 minutes. I'm not sure if the two women working Saturday afternoon were racist or simply had terrible customer service, but we were completely ignored. One of them was helping a customer when we arrived, then she started putting food in bags without saying anything. Another woman walks out from the kitchen, comes to the register and makes a call and says nothing to us. I thought ok maybe they are just extra busy with online or takeout orders, I wait without a problem. Both come back to the register shortly after and they started to talk among themselves, and didn't even bothered saying we'll be right with you. We wait and they continue to say nothing. At this point it's obvious they are just ignoring us. We decide to walk out, and they say nothing. If they don't want Latinos buying there, maybe put up a sign saying they don't serve Latinos.

I wanted to like the food. As a vegan I appreciate the effort and variety of options but I was sorely disappointed in the fries. They were not just soggy but undercooked and the sunburger was okay, not particularly good and the cheese slice on it was cold when it should be melted and yummy . Maybe a bowl would have been better. Nice folks. Just a letdown on the meal.
